THE ZONE

"A.L.E.X." is a pop ballad about a young man choosing the wrong path of life. The title is both a name and an acronym standing for "all lies excused with ecstasy", though ecstasy is a pars pro toto image. Written in my teenage years, this song has a special meaning to me, because its songwriting, arrangement and instrumentation was years ahead of my knowledge and capabilities. I had to grow up first to understand the real meaning of the lyrics. It's not a song about drug abuse. It's a song about self-rejection, pretending a better self and ending in a desaster. After 15 years of hard work, we were able to finish this song even better than expected. I'd like to thank everybody for taking this unbelieveable journey with me and turning my draft into a gemstone.

This song is part of my album "Going My Way" which can be downloaded at Bandcamp.

==== LYRICS ====

You were such a shy guy
but I can't keep watching you cry
I'm the only one who knows your truth
and the minds that you bemused

Narrator of so many lies
In fear of dropping your disguise 
cause you look like your ego who died

A.L.E.X.
All lies excused with ecstasy
still drowning in your fantasy
Are you searching for an answer
or for a better...

A.L.E.X.
All lies excused with ecstasy
your life has been a misery
Don't keep reminding those years
where you've been rejected 

You were such a silly boy
but they treated you like a toy
This was the reason for your weakness
shammed coolness turned to bleakness

Narrator of a broken dream
Your hope is vanishing like steam
See your blue eyes turning dark and grey

All lies excused with ecstasy
There's more in life than you have seen
Why have you stabbed the one you've been

A.L.E.X.
All lies excused with ecstasy
your life has been a misery
Don't keep reminding those years 
where you've been rejected

Still drowning in despair
waiting for someone to care
I said that you’d believe in you 
but you surrender

A.L.E.X
Why don't you leave your lies
release yourself from your disguise
There are so many things that
you can do without

A.L.E.X.
All lies excused with ecstasy
still drowning in your fantasy
Are you searching for an answer
or for a better...

A.L.E.X
All lies excused with ecstasy
life needn't be a misery

Going My Way

A.L.E.X.

LYRICS:
It's time
It's time

CHORUS
I ain't got the patience to keep dealing wid ya
Never admit when you're wrong
I should be giving you up (yeh)
But I never get enough,
Yet you never earned my trust,
I'm giving you up yeh.

I'm alive,
In the night,
All you want,
Is to fight me,
See your eyes,
Not the time,
Know your lies,
Know your lies.

I'm alive,
In the night,
I'm alive,
In the night.

CHORUS
POSTCHORUS
(I should, I should)
Never admit when you're wrong
(I should, I should)
I should be giving you up yeh
But I never get enough
Yet you never earned my trust
I'm giving you up yeh
(I should.)

In my mind,
All the time,
Don't know why,
I don't fight it,
Now you're out,
Of my life,
Gonna find out where the lights will take me.

I'm alive,
In the night,
I'm alive,
In the night, night, night, night
In the night, night, night, night
(In the night).

CHORUS
POSTCHORUS
In the night, night, night, night
(It's time)
In the night, night, night, night
(It's time)
In the night, night, night, night.

Giving You Up - Single

Giving You Up

Giving you up 🤦‍♂️

'General Cogs' is gritty, manic and unashamed. Written mostly in lockdown, it follows two imaginary army soldiers yearning for the life they had before, just as we found ourselves doing.

"Pine and Cedar"

A new remix (by Mean Flow) to my abstract-experimental music track "Worlds Into Worlds" This track had used (among other tracks I've made) as background music to a modern abstract photo-art exhibition project (see below!)

* Another special fact about this track is that I've used experimental sound software (photo to sound) to create-extract some sound effects from the abstract photos used in the photo-art exhibition project!
