The difference between the two versions I hear is that this one is cleaner and clearer to understand.

Another old track : improvising naked with my piano

Impro, Nue Au Piano

Alley Cat

“Ghost of December” is about forgiveness and finding the courage to release old wounds and embrace unconditional love. It’s about discovering that healing a broken heart takes vulnerability, trust, honesty, and forgiveness—and that love can overcome even the darkest past.
LYRICS

VERSE 1 
I was longing, looking, he was lost, hiding, killing time.
I was lonely, drifting slowly, Thought I'd lost my mind.
He said he loved me, needing me close by his side.
Then he took a plane, flew back to her arms, not mine.
He shared love songs, pictures, the same stories he'd tell.
Gave me the same sweet gifts he gave to her as well.

TAG
I still can't forget those lies from last December.
I'm holding on to faith; my dreams won't surrender!

PRE-CHORUS
Is it ever gonna be over, lover?
When the ghost of December haunts my sleep…
Is it ever gonna be lovely, lover?
When history stops tugging at me?

CHORUS
He was already taken, times two… what was he thinking?
Careless with my heart, his lies—I can’t erase them.
He calls me “baby,” “Hun,” says I’m the only one…
Is it because she’s gone? Am I the consolation?



BRIDGE (fastest)
Let’s bury the ghosts… come tuck me in.
Bad dreams end, where you begin.
Let true love guide us, as we right the wrong.
I’m here, I’m staying, I’m holding on.
Let’s bury the ghosts… come tuck me in.
Bad dreams end, where you begin.
Let true love guide us, as we right the wrong.
I’m here, I’m staying, I’m holding on.

VERSE 2 
He says those ways are gone, forever in the past,
I see regret in his eyes—sorrow he can’t mask.
Yet here I stand this moment, longing to believe,
That he’s done with secrets still hidden up his sleeve.
He vows he has grown, swears he won't ever repeat—
Let me softly rest in love, and set these fears free.

TAG
I still can't forget those lies from last December—
I'm holding on to faith; my dreams won't surrender!

PRE-CHORUS 2
Is it ever gonna be over, lover?
When the ghost of December haunts my sleep…
Is it ever gonna be lovely, lover?
When history stops tugging at me?


FINAL CHORUS 
He was already taken, times two… what was he thinking?
Careless with my heart, his lies—I can’t erase them.
He calls me “baby,” “Hun,” says I’m the only one—
If he’s reborn, I’ll stand by him… praying my mended heart will come.

OUTRO 
I'm the one you choose. I'm the one you keep,
Baby, come for me and put me back to sleep.

THE MUSIC


What an honor and privilege
To have come close to you...
And to follow in your footsteps with my offspring.

Every step I take during the day
I am about to take
Leads to you and your immensity...


It's a shame that not everyone understands you
A happy example from my other half of the sky
Mom
The dismay doesn't last long
That I feel good next to you
and, I feel it


What do I care about others?
 What draws me to your sweet oblivion...
If you lull me from morning until darkness


You often make me suffer...
Sometimes I don't understand you
Your delicate hands envelop me
And in the evening I have visions of dying...


Tell me how to reach
High goals
Tell me what to study to have a little space
And quench my thirst


What do I care about others?
They talk, talk, talk...
Perhaps, that sweet oblivion of yours draws me
When you lull me from morning until darkness


I've arrived here with you
And I thank you for accompanying me

Yes, it's true like many others
I want to draw from your source

And hope in oblivion
Granted to me by you until darkness...

Closing Invocation 

May the Dhamma’s 
Wheel forever spin
In every heart 
It may begin

May craving fade 
May wisdom rise
May love and truth 
Illumine our eyes

From Sarnath’s grove 
To every land
May peace flow forth 
Hand in hand

For what was spoken 
Beneath the sky
Still whispers softly 
No one dies

The self dissolves 
The truth remains 
A silent song 
Beyond all chains

Turn, O Wheel 
Forever true
From the Buddha’s heart  
To me, to you

Closing Invocation

See Through You

Glass-Eyed Strong Man

My writing is inspired by real life experiences, now woven into a historical fiction novel series to be released summer 2026. The novels accompany my original musical soundtrack.

My vision is to create an immersive experience where readers step fully into the story world—reading the novels while listening to the soundtrack—so that words and melodies converse with each other. This marks the beginning of a journey told through both language and sound, inviting readers to explore how music shapes memory, and how memory, in turn, shapes art.

My music fuses human creativity with modern innovation preceding studio recordings.
