Hope Is Everything

Just a little teaser of what is coming in 2024 - preview.

A Thousand Knives - Breed

A pop/rock heavy ballad about life always repeating and how wonderful that is, lots of good vocals and guitar melodies. The lyrics are copyright Badtripp Inc and were written originally with 4 verses, this version has 2 verses. The lyrics are like this:

ANNIE TEARDROP (did it again) - (lyrics copyright Badtripp Inc)
Come with me we'll be so free
Do it again do it again
Stroke my skin lay down with me
Do it again do it again
Hold me tight and kill my fright
Do it again do it again
Kiss me today and kiss me tonight
Do it again do it again

Annie oh Annie Teardrop
Annie oh Annie Teardrop

Come to me and then go away
Do it again do it again
Leave me and come back to stay
Do it again do it again
I make you laugh and then you cry
Do it again do it again
Tell the truth and tell a lie
Do it again do it again

Annie oh Annie teardrop
Annie oh Annie Teardrop

I have recorded and made public here my attempt to create a good and somewhat heavy rock song: "Do it again (Annie Teardrop)". That version is  me playing all instruments - 3 guitars, 1 bass and Roland from the 1980ies doing what sounds like drums. I even sing the whole song (sorry)with 4 verses (too many). But then I found a collaborator amongst the artificial intelligences (this too is made with help from Udio) that took my detailed promt and ran with it, the song "Annie Teardrop does it again" is the result of several dozen 30 seconds long bits that I had to artfully pick out the best pieces from, those most like what I had in mind. Lo and behold:  the machine plays lead guitar very much like I would have done myself (well that was a mighty statement).I think this is a very good track. I hear music AIs have been sued by the big corporations that own the rights to most classic rock/pop/soul and so on - all music made. But I think this song is more like my own version to be found here somewhere, than any band I know - I know many, not all, though. Does this song sound like Nickelback? No! Someone else? MY lyrics and MY prompt and MY choices makes this MY song, or does it? Hmmmmm

Annie Teardrop did it again

The perfect song for the summer. Keep vibing, dancing and celebrating yourself, yuh!

Geh kakn afn yam (Go poop in the ocean, Yiddish (presumably, et al, 2025)): Version One'th

If Saturn Returns echoed something deep in you—something fragile, inevitable, and just out of reach—then you already understand. This track doesn’t shout its pain; it lets it settle in, quietly. It’s for the moments when you look back at your younger self with both love and regret. For the nights when silence feels heavier than sound. For those navigating the strange in-between of growing older without having everything figured out. Saturn Returns isn’t just a song—it’s a mirror, a wound, a kind of gentle collapse.

Saturn Returns

They said evolution had a plan
But I’ve seen the wings on garbage cans
When the lights cut out, I swear they rise
Little prophets with compound eyes

We built towers, they built nests
Outlived plagues and failed the tests

Who made cockroaches fly?
Who gave nightmares the sky?
Did God just laugh or cry
When He saw ‘em lift off, saw ‘em lift off tonight?

Science said “adapt or die,”
But some things never even try
They crawl through wars, they drink our lies
And wear apocalypse like a cheap disguise

We drop bombs, they just survive
Mocking every genius alive

Who made cockroaches fly?
Who turned the gutters divine?
It’s evolution’s cruel punchline
When the filth learns how to climb

We burn the world, they fan the flame
No guilt, no god, no shame
Maybe they’re angels in disguise
Or just reminders we’re the flies

We drop bombs, they just survive
Mocking every genius alive

Who made cockroaches fly?
Who turned the gutters divine?
It’s evolution’s cruel punchline
When the filth learns how to climb

Who made cockroaches fly?
Maybe same one who made you and I
When the roaches inherit the light
They’ll write songs about our flight

Future Home

When love becomes a prescription, withdrawal feels like death. Cold Medicine is smooth, moody, and dangerously relatable — a song about being addicted to comfort.
