Jay Hawkins’ 1956 classic, "I Put a Spell on You" rises again in the darkwave mist. Jazz-soul vocals float over new wave shadows - early 80s echoes winking through the haze. Love, obsession, and playful mystery twist together, bathed in hypnotic synthpop

LYRICS:
------
I put a spell on you
Because you're mine

Stop the things you do
Watch out
I ain't lyin'

Yeah, I can't stand
No runnin' around
I can't stand
No put me down

I put a spell on you
Because you're mine
Ohh, yeah

Stop the things you do
Watch out
I ain't lyin'

Ohh, oh...

I love you
I love you
I love you
Anyhow

I don't care 
If you don't want me
I'm yours right now

I put a spell on you
Because you're mine

i put a spell on you

"floating beyond pain, we fold into the silken air—silent tides lift us past light and time"

LYRICS:
------
I lie still.  
I lie still.  
Not here, not gone,  
last note still ringing.  

My breath floats above me
is it mine?  
is it leaving?  

Pain drops its keys.  
Pain drops its keys.  
Coins fall—  
no bottom
no bottom

No footsteps.  
No name.  
Not mercy,  
not love.  

a warm tide rising in my bones
telling me, telling me,  
you can let go,  
you can let go.  

the air is silk now
the air is silk now

I see through it,  
I hide inside it.  
the world tips—  
stones slide away,  
hours scatter,  
into the dark.  

I lie still—  
but I am burning
not here, not gone
still the note is ringing

Breath above me—  
fading, breaking
Is it mine?  
is it leaving?  

Pain drops its keys—  
the door unlocks
coins fall—  
into the dark

No bottom
No bottom—  
only falling
only falling

the air is silk now
the air is silk now

it covers me
it carries me

the world tips—  
edges slide away
hours scatter  
into the dark

I don’t ask—  
where I’m going
I am folded
I am smoothed
a coin pressed back  
into the hand
into the hand  
that spent me

If morning comes—  
if morning comes—  
knock, knock
past the door
past the clock

light so gentle
i can’t tell  
if it’s rising  
or falling
rising
or falling

-------------





the air is silk now

Dancing through the tears, you know that the love has faded - but the rhythm of the falling rain keeps your night alive

LYRICS:
------
Now won't you listen honey 
While I say-
How could you tell me 
That you're goin' away

Don't say that we must part
Don't break your baby's heart

You know I loved you 
For these many years
Loved you night and day

Oh honey, baby 
Can't you see my tears
Listen while I say-

After you've gone 
And left me crying
After you've gone 
There's no denying

You'll feel blue
You'll feel sad

You'll miss the dearest pal 
You've ever had

There'll come a time
Now don't forget it
There'll come a time 
When you'll regret it

Oh! Babe
Think what you're doing
You know my love for you 
Will drive me to ruin

After you've gone
You've gone 
Gone away


After you've gone 
And left me crying
After you've gone 
There's no denying

You'll feel blue
You'll feel sad

You'll miss the dearest pal 
You've ever had

There'll come a time
Now don't forget it
There'll come a time 
When you'll regret it

Oh! Babe
Think what you're doing
You know my love for you 
Will drive me to ruin

After you've gone
After you've gone away

Away 
After you've gone away 
Away

After You've Gone Away

Angel Fire The Rapture Indie Folk

I love the future.
Tools, not chains.

Tech is mine, I bend, I build
Machines obey, the void is filled
No illusion, no disguise
Just a platform, open skies

I stand alone, I make the sound
A label born from underground
You tomorrow, you will see
A virtual star, reality

I love the future, I declare
AI frees the dream we share
Every tool, a door to more
Your own stage, your own world tour

One becomes a thousand strong
K-pop crowds in every song
You, a band of endless faces
I, the spark in hidden places

I stand alone, I make the sound
A label born from underground
You tomorrow, you will see
A virtual star, reality

I love the future, I declare
AI frees the dream we share
Every tool, a door to more
Your own stage, your own world tour

Not control.
Not fear.
Just freedom.
Just here.

I love the future, I declare
AI frees the dream we share
Every tool, a door to more
Your own stage, your own world tour

Label of one.
Popstar of millions.

I love the future (Electro Hyper Teen Pop)

Lyrics:

I keep checking my screen.
Been by myself a stretch too long.
Say the word and I’m tying up my shoes, maybe.
Cup by the sink.
Didn’t even need to talk that much.
One little ring and I’m out the door, darling.

I look around and
this boulevard breathes without you (oh)
no one to buzz my number
every sign gets harder to read
oh-oh-oooh yeah!

You pull me into the small hours
heart on tempo, cutting through the town
I don’t slow down till I hear your sound
You pull me into the small hours
dash lights flicker while I chase you down
say my name once-I’m turning around

Running low on the gauge.
Morning blush on the high-rise glass.
So I take the long way, punching past the past, darling-oh.

This boulevard breathes without you (oh)
no one to buzz my number
every sign gets harder to read
oh-oh-oooh yeah!

You pull me into the small hours
heart on tempo, cutting through the town
I don’t slow down till I hear your sound
You pull me into the small hours
dash lights flicker while I chase you down
say my name once-I’m turning around

I’m outside just to let you know (letting you know)
couldn’t write it in a text, it shows (say it, don’t phone)
won’t let this slip my hands tonight-oh

You pull me into the small hours
heart on tempo, cutting through the town
Yeah-yeah-yeah

Yeah-yeah-yeah

You pull me into the small hours
heart on tempo, cutting through the town
I don’t slow down till I hear your sound
You pull me into the small hours
dash lights flicker while I chase you down
say my name once-I’m turning around
Oooh, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeeaaaah!

Small Hours

I think we all must have our irritated days, where things just get to us real bad. We end up hurting the people we actually care about. And at some point, we want to get through that phase without doing permanent damage to our relationships - sometimes a cave is a good idea - but we can't go there too often and stay in there for too long either - our loved ones need us and we need them. 

The Noise Lyrics 

This noise (This noise) 
Make it go away 
Make it go away
Or I can't stay

So much happening
So much to think about
Will this end
The yelling bouts
Of opposing opinions
That divide and spin
Into relentless berating 
My ears wear thin

Razor edged chaos
Is too much to cop
Must keep my sanity
I need it to stop
Meaningless dribble
My patience boils
(The noise)
Paralysing pressure
(The noise)
Where’s my choice

The noise (The noise)
It’s so loud
The noise (The noise) 
Gotta shut it down (Somehow)
Shut it down (Shut it down, somehow)

This is not working
I just can’t take it
Stopping the listening
Just amplifies it
Desperately searching 
Where’s the escape
Do I run, run, run
Find a deep quiet cave?

Razor edged chaos
Is too much to cop
Must keep my sanity
I need it to stop
Meaningless dribble
My patience boils
Paralysing pressure
Where’s my choice

The noise (The noise)
It’s so loud
The noise (The noise) 
Gotta shut it down (Somehow)
Shut it down (Shut it down, somehow)

Do I have to give up?
What is this madness? 
What are they saying? 
Why am I trapped?
Compelled to notice
What is the source 
What are their intentions?
My attention finally caught

Oh, I can hear 
And I can see 
The pain appears 
It's super clear

They feel hurt
They want to matter
They don’t feel heard
They volume the chatter
I am left humbled
Had 'em all wrong
Made it all about me
For way too long

Razor edged chaos
Is a help call out
Seeking humanity
Before they burn out

(Ahhhh) I feel the shift
Within my being
A one eighty turn
In what I'm feeling
Opportunity here
To be courageous, sincere
A new way to operate
A better way to see

For meaningful riddles 
My patience toils 
Releasing the pressure
(The noise) I found my choice 
The noise (The noise)
The noise (The noise) 
It is loud (The noise) 
The noise is my sign 
To serve them now

For meaningful riddles 
My patience toils 
Releasing the pressure
(The noise) I found my choice 
The noise (The noise)
The noise (The noise) 
It is loud (The noise) 
The noise is my sign 
To serve them now

A Love Ballad (live)

I create music as a hobby and as a therapy and provide workshops for others to do that too, using AI to help produce tracks. I also create empowerment systems to help people at scale increase their confidence and resilience by engaging their adaptive nature and work towards living a purposeful life. While all my song lyrics are written by me, and some tracks come from my personal compositions including instrumentals that I add lyrics to, I use AI to merge these with songs I share with you here. It really makes you realise how important your own words are in a song.
