The original version of this song was written over a decade ago and at that time it seemed to be as it should be. I've since revised it and I'm pleased with the result.

In Love with the Sound of the Rain

A slow air in the Irish tradition, marked by the absence of strict metre or structure, melodically "open ended" but this one is not derived from an existing melody.  This version is the album  mix. I will be uploading a radio edit as soon as possible.

In Every Stone  a Tale

Yehuda Your Treason

One step, two step, three step four...

It has a buoyancy so it floats leisurely, it meanders gently and ends as it began although not as loud. There is tension in the song but it's not obvious so you have to listen carefully. I have to marvel at Cassie's ability to express anger in the most delightful way.

Our Perfect Contradiction

Although it sometimes feels this way, the World is not a jail. Fate's a fiddler ; ilfe's a dance...

Verse 3)
I’ll wear your coat, and tip my hat,
Sing "Hallelujah," where I’m at.
With your ghost in every chord,

The Ink on the Paper is Fading Away (album version)

"Memoirs by dragoons who fought in the Peninsular war (Waterloo) are quite rare, which makes Smithies' account even more important. However, a word of caution must also be made. James Smithies ( A distant relative) apparently recounted his story shortly before his death, some fifty three years after the last events he describes had occurred and therefore, not surprisingly, he occasionally errs in his memory. Which memoirs do not carry such fault?!"  https://www.amazon.co.uk/Adventurous-Pursuits-Peninsular-Waterloo-Veteran/dp/1907417281#:~:text=Buy%20Adventurous%20Pursuits%20of%20a%20Peninsular%20War%20and,low%20prices%20and%20free%20delivery%20on%20eligible%20orders.

Private James Smithies. 1st Royal Dragoons. A Reflection

Together we roam, through the silence we find,
A tapestry woven in the threads of the mind.
With every step forward, the horizon expands,
Navigating the unknown, side by side we stand.

Side by Side. We Roam

A Way to Be

Hope is a powerful emotion that drives us to keep working and moving forward. It gives us the power to survive. More about this in my accompanying booklet and album release as Gabriel Brox later this year. 

Hope oh Hope

"From 1814 Keats had two bequests, held in trust for him until his 21st birthday. £800 was willed by his grandfather John Jennings. Also Keats's mother left a legacy of £8000 to be equally divided among her living children. It seems he was not told of the £800 and probably knew nothing of it as he never applied for it. Historically, blame has often been laid on Abbey as legal guardian, but he may also have been unaware of it.[17] William Walton, solicitor for Keats's mother and grandmother, definitely knew and had a duty of care to relay the information to Keats. It seems he did not, though it would have made a critical difference to the poet's expectations. Money was always a great concern and difficulty, as he struggled to stay out of debt and make his way in the world independently" Wiki

Who Failed John Keats

Recorded initially Lo-fi in 1997, this song received critical acclaim and over 3000 radio placements, including FM, Web, podcasts. This version is a single release and there will be an album version with Gabriel's vocal due out next year 2026.  

Bag of Bones (REMIX)

We Will Run to That Place

What Is Now Could Never Be

V1) Adorned with emblems, each a narrative,
Of the journey it took, so steadfast.
A pilgrim of sorts, though made of wood,
It's travelled through meadows and climbed the fells,
Through the cobbled streets of ancient cities,
Where the echoes of history dwells.



Emblems. Each a Narrative

This production emphasizes clarity of the spoken word over complex musicality

In the Heart of the Middle East

Resist the urge to self-deprecate, To silence the voice that seeks to undermine. Nurture hope, and resolutely state, That every great idea, in time, will shine. Cultivate a garden of belief, Where resilience and courage take their root. Shield the seed from every form of grief, And tend to it with dedicated pursuit.  Research deep, analyze and glean, from diverse sources, knowledge old and new. Seek to understand what lies between, the known and unknown, the false and the true. Challenge assumptions, break down paradigms, And question everything you hold so dear. Open your mind to uncharted climes, And banish the specter of paralyzing fear.

A Seed of Spark

Artists use their voices to address their realities. The 1960s civil rights movement used spoken-word poetry to fight racial inequality. The Last Poets and Amiri Baraka were two of many artists who challenged social injustices via poetry.

The 1970s featured poet and musician Gil Scott-Heron. He delivered political concerns about unpleasant realities in his lyricism. This rhythm-message combination shapes rap. Thanks for listening!

“The System is addicted to war: Grotesque Tradition this 4-minute song attempts to unveil how language, media, fear, and political control perpetuate war—not as a failure, but as a deliberate system of dominance.

Grotesque Tradition  (Single)

In shadows of the mind, where dreams softly drift,
A whispering lullaby, a delicate rift.
Narcolepsy’s gentle tide, an unbidden slide,
Where consciousness wavers, a silent, flowing tide.  

Fleeting moments of wakefulness, slipping like sand,
Caught between worlds, unplanned, unplanned.
A sleep that beckons, a peaceful, fleeting embrace,
Yet leaves behind a longing—a restless trace.  

Within this fragile dance of night and day,
A heart yearns to stay, to find its way.
In the hush of shadows, hope softly gleams,
A dawn beyond the dreams, beyond the seams.  

For in each slumber, a silent plea,
To understand what it means to be free—
From the hush that beckons, from the quiet, deep,
To find the strength to wake, to dream, to keep.
