Annie Lennox  - I Put A Spell On You

Scarlet Letters on My Soul is a slow-burning soul confessional — a whispered reckoning of love marked by guilt, longing, and irreversible touch.

Over brushed drums, velvety Rhodes, upright bass and torchlike vocals, the song unfolds like a prayer too bruised to be answered. Jazz-blues guitar and organ breathe through the verses, while punchy horns lift the chorus into emotional clarity. A vibraphone bridge slows time before the final descent into silence and surrender.


Scarlet Letters on My Soul
---

(Verse 1)
I wear no chains, but I feel the weight
Of every glance that came too late
You touched me once and marked me deep
With vows too wild for me to keep

My skin is clean, but still I burn
Each step away is one return
Your name is carved in chapel stone
But it’s my heart that bears the tone


---

(Pre-Chorus)
I tried to pray, I tried to hide
But grace won’t wash what’s seared inside


---

(Chorus)
These scarlet letters on my soul
Ink that time can’t make whole
Branded by a holy fire
Lit by hunger, lit by choir
No absolution, no control
Just scarlet letters on my soul


---

(Verse 2)
I kissed your mouth in sacred dark
Each touch a sin, each sin a spark
I swore I’d walk the narrow way
But love like this can’t learn to stay

You left with guilt and left me bare
The cross was light, but not the stare
Of all the truths I’ll never speak
It’s yours that makes my silence weak


---

(Pre-Chorus)
I closed the door, I wore the veil
But you still haunt beneath the hail


---

(Chorus)
These scarlet letters on my soul
Whispers carved in burning gold
I never asked to wear your flame
But now it flickers with my name
No absolution, no parole
Just scarlet letters on my soul


---

(Bridge)
If love is wrong, then so am I
But saints have sinned with softer lies
And if you’d knock, I’d let you in
To write your name on me again


---

(Final Chorus – stripped down)
These scarlet letters, deep and red
They live in everything I’ve said
No priest can cleanse, no law console
Just scarlet letters
on
my
soul.

This album is a nocturnal odyssey, charting a journey through solitude and the bittersweet solace found in a bottle. It explores themes of escapism, haunting memories, and the blurred lines between self-destruction and self-discovery, all unfolding over the course of one long night.

No Safety Net

Psalms 34

[Verse]
Smoke curls up like a ghost in chains
Harbor lights flicker through the stains
Of oil and salt on my weary eyes
The sea whispers secrets and goodbyes

[Prechorus]
Gears grind slow as the beast ascends
A creak
A groan
The iron bends

[Chorus]
There she goes
My metal bride
Surfacing proud on the turning tide
Steam and sorrow in her wake
A love that only steel can make

[Verse 2]
The brass is tarnished
The years wore thin
Echoes of battles still hum within
My boots on the deck
My heart below
The ocean takes what the ocean sows

[Bridge]
Periscope dreams
They rise
They fall
Clockwork hearts answer duty's call
Ticking
Tocking
Time won’t stall
She's my life
My curse
My all

[Chorus]
There she goes
My metal bride
Surfacing proud on the turning tide
Steam and sorrow in her wake
A love that only steel can make

Countless Departures

Kiss Me in the Dark


[Verse 1]
Shadows tracing on the wall,
your breath’s the only sound I call.
Fingers write across my skin,
a secret language born of sin.

[Pre-Chorus]
No eyes, no lies, just touch and spark,
baby, pull me deeper into the dark.

[Chorus]
Kiss me in the dark,
where no one sees the fire start.
Lips like velvet, burnin’ slow,
a place where only we can go.
Kiss me in the dark…
let the night forget who we are.

[Verse 2]
Every heartbeat, heavy, near,
your silence louder than I hear.
The scent of fire clings to you,
like shadows kiss the midnight blue.

[Pre-Chorus]
No truth, no proof, just skin on skin,
baby, let the night forgive our sin.

[Chorus]
Kiss me in the dark,
where no one sees the fire start.
Lips like velvet, burnin’ slow,
a place where only we can go.
Kiss me in the dark…
let the night forget who we are.

[Bridge]
Heat like incense on my skin,
burn me slow, then breathe me in.
Every whisper lights a flame,
say my sin, but not my name…

[Final Chorus]
Kiss me in the dark,
make the shadows fall apart.
Take me where the sinners go,
hold me till the night says no.
Kiss me in the dark…
let the night forget who we are.

Kiss Me in the Dark

Ashes and Brass: The Småland Second Line Jazz Funeral Parade is a dark, cinematic journey where Southern Gothic murder ballads collide with the haunted landscapes of Småland. Inspired by the ritual power of New Orleans jazz funerals and the raw storytelling tradition of the blues, the album unfolds as a requiem for betrayal, damnation, and release.
Across eight tracks, the record moves like a funeral procession: “Seven Curses” delivers judgment one curse at a time, with choirs chanting numbers like a ritual. “The Devil’s Bride” reimagines the archetype of Jezebel as a soul sold to darkness. “No Mercy at the River” turns the water itself into a judge that refuses to cleanse. “The Rumors Were True” gives voice to the whispers of a village, making gossip into prophecy. At the album’s heart stands “Ashes in Her Mouth”, a heavy dirge where brass, strings, and choirs thunder in a curse that cannot be undone.
From there, the story widens into a vow of vengeance in “Tenfold Interest”, and into catharsis with “No More Ghosts”, a declaration of survival and release. Finally, the title track “The Småland Second Line Jazz Funeral Parade” closes the procession as an instrumental epilogue, merging Swedish church bells, brass fanfares, and gospel cadences into one final march into darkness.
This is not just an album, but a Southern Gothic requiem: brass, organ, gospel choirs, strings, and funeral drums creating a soundscape that feels both like a New Orleans funeral march and a Småland churchyard at dusk. A work that speaks to betrayal, judgment, damnation – and the hope of walking away free from ghosts.

No more ghosts

Album Title: Muddy River Blues
Ten years ago, the heartbreak was fresh—but not clean. Muddy River Blues is a reckoning with the kind of love that leaves you questioning whether it was ever real. These songs were written in the aftermath of something unrecognizable: a relationship that twisted so far from its origin, it blurred the line between devotion and delusion.
Set deep in the heavy fog of Swamp Pop and Blues, the album drips with humidity and ache. The grooves are slow and thick, like river water after a storm—churning with memory, regret, and the kind of sorrow that doesn’t ask for sympathy. Vocals are raw and low, grounded in a contralto that doesn’t flinch. Every lyric is a confession, every chord a confrontation.
This isn’t heartbreak for the sake of drama. It’s heartbreak as forensic evidence. The songs don’t just mourn the ending—they dissect it. They ask: Who was I loving? Who was I becoming? And they don’t offer easy answers.
Muddy River Blues is a time capsule of clarity earned the hard way. It’s the sound of someone who survived the flood and lived to tell it

Bayou Blues For You

We always think
We have endless time
We never think
About the end of the line
We never think
Things will come to an end
Is that being real
Or maybe a bit pretend
That there won’t be
That bend
Down the road
The one that leads to heaven
Or at least so I’ve been told
The one that leads
To streets paved with gold
But then again
That’s just what 
Yeah, I’ve been told
It’s never too hot
And it’s never too cold
Everything’s free
Nothing ever gets sold
Everyone’s young
They never get old
That place waiting
When we get out of the game
And finally fold
