Paroles ( Elena )  in English et traduction en Français 
Drowning out the lies
That I have seen
There's a single truth
I still believe in

Melting the darkness like starlight
Shining so bright in the night

If I ever go astray
I won't fear 'cause your love has paved the way
That leads home to myself

Clouds have turned to grey
The skies we painted blue
As the thunder rolls
I think of you

Melting the cold in your sweet embrace
There is no storm I can't face

If I ever go astray
I won't fear 'cause your love has paved the way
That leads home
And if the lights just go away
I won't fear 'cause your love will shine the way
That leads home to myself

En noyant les mensonges
Que j’au vus, 
Il y a une seule vérité 
En laquelle je crois toujours 

Qui fait fondre l’obscurité comme la lumière des étoiles 
Qui brille si fort dans la nuit .

Si jamais je m’égare
Je n’aurai pas peur car ton amour a ouvert la voie 
Qui mène à moi même .

Les nuages ont fait devenir gris
Le ciel que nous avons peint en bleu .
Alors que le tonnerre gronde 
Je pense à toi 

Qui fait fondre le froid dans ta douce étreinte.
Il n’y a pas de tempête à laquelle je ne puisse faire face.

Si jamais je m’égare 
Je n’aurai pas peur car ton amour a ouvert la voie 
Qui mène à moi même ,
Et si les lumières s’éteignent 
je n’aurai pas peur car ton amour éclairera la voie
Qui mène à moi même .

Heres one I just re-recorded tonight. But it is in line in moving forward with my back catalog....which is going to take some time 😔. It is relevant to the current social dilemma of fighting and division.

Lyrics :

Show me proof of the big bang
shed some light on the missing link
reveal the secrets of the rock upon the hill
and the monster in the lake you say he’s living there still

ill marvel at your stories
and you can snicker sideways at mine
i'll try to get a word in edgewise
if you’d only give me the time

Show me the meaning of the reason
tell me the truth about the lies
open my eyes up to the impending doom
and brush off the tablets resting in the tomb

ill marvel at your stories
and you can snicker sideways at mine
ill try to get a word in edgewise
if you’d only give me the time

Now it all boils down
and it rises to the top
its a never ending song
if everybodys right
then everybody's wrong

Find the pope in the pizza
show me Einstein in the loony bin
say theres no good or evil
then turn around and tell me survival is a sin

ill marvel at your stories
and you can snicker sideways at mine
ill try to get a word in edgewise
if you’d only give me the time

Now it all boils down
and it rises to the top
its a never ending song
if everybodys right
then everybody's wrong

Everybodys Wrong

Re recording of an old song. Solo Guitar and vocals with a little something here and there. Recorded this evening. 

Get up early and start your day
give some time back to yourself today
find the good times all around you
Bring the fun back in your life
leave those old work shoes by the door
you made your share of sacrifice
listen friend take my advice

The time for messing around is in the past
the days are moving by so very very fast
it's time for you to have your say
don't you letting things get in your way
forget about what other people do
and don't you worry about waht they say
cause they don't know you anyway

Save me.. save me.. save me
oh won't you please
won't you save me.. from another day
of doing things in the same old way

So settle up those old affairs
all they're going to get you 
is a head full of grey hairs
you know the folks around
they still love you so
they're gonna smile and wave as they watch you go
so won't you wave goodbye to yesterday
before you get too old and slow
it's time to shine and let it go

Save me.. save me.. save me
yes and carry me along with you
on this beautiful day




Save Me

This is a very old song written when I first picked up my music after a long layoff. It is written about Lena Leonardi, our landlady ( Landlord fit the song better  ) back in 1980. We moved into our new apartment when my joyce was pregnant with our first child. Lena was a sort of Philosopher.. Very hard working and always there to offer advice on whatever. She was very kind to us but she was also tough. I recall times when she would come to the back door when we were late on the rent and pound on the glass , and in her endearing Italian accent she would yell " Liggett!!!  I know you're in there !! PLEASE Liggett! PLease pay the rent !! ".. One time I came to the door and had to explain that we just didn't have the money right at the moment...she took me over to her apartment and sat me down while she prepared a couple of jars of Minestrone soup.. homemade and delicious. She said " Liggett, all you need is a little bread, a little bit of soup and a little bit of wine... that's all you need Liggett "  I never forgot her..Joyce and I talk about her once in a while and quote things she told us.. To this day she is in our hearts and minds.. almost like family. And thats how most of the Italians were to me growing up.. treated me well and looked out for me as I lived in a town called Elmwood Park known as little Italy..  Now, back in november of last year when I made the decision to start uploading all of my songs.. who is there b, among many others of course, but two who have given me the most support and good advice along with wonderful and inspiring music and words? But Michael Ansani and the beautiful folks at The Beating Edge.. From Italy...of course. Oh... and Len Benatti  .. you from Italy too?😊So.. I dedicate this song to them and wish them good fortune and calm seas ahead ! Salute!

Lyrics:

Long ago when I was 21 and I was just out on my own
a pretty new bride and a brand new son
trying hard to make a home
I wasn't ready to settle down and I needed some advice
My old Italian Landlord, she always treated me nice

A simple life and a happy home 
and everything will be just fine
But things don't always go that way 
and you can get a little bit behind
well if you lose direction and you're looking for a clue
my old Italian landlord she always knew what to do

She said:  A little bread and a little soup and a little bit of wine
that's all you need , that's all you need
a little luck and a little love and a little bit of time
that's all you need, that's all you need

I met that old lady, all those years ago
she led a very simple life and she always told you so
she was there when we were hungry 
she was there when we were broke
and even after all these years 
i remember the words she spoke

Now and then I think of her she holds a place in my mind
not too many like her so humble and so kind
I hope there's just a few spread around here and there
looking out for guys like me who need someone to care

She said:  A little bread and a little soup and a little bit of wine
that's all you need , that's all you need
a little luck and a little love and a little bit of time
that's all you need, that's all you need


All you need

New song recorded tonight. Things are what they are.. on the melancholy side.... which i'm prone to wallow in from time to time.

It has come to my attention that I haven't put my pen to paper for a while
I've been burning scented candles that suggested fields of roses for so long
and I've lately come to realize the simple reason for my lack of candor
and the soil of sordid life reveals the blameless grief left floating in the breeze
I opted out of bowing low for fear that I might make a wrenching scene

show me how I have fallen short read to me the judgement of the court
but be careful as you're coming down you're falling from the same high ground
it all comes back around

I thank god sometimes for time alone with cheap guitars and cheaper brands of wine
I avoid my past discrepancies and present time inequities like plague
and it for these very reasons that I held my tongue and stared into the sky
and stole time alone in selfishness for fear without that I might lose my mind
has my silence said enough for you today
you might think you've had it rough sometimes and want to say

show me how I have fallen short read to me the judgement of the court
but be careful as you're coming down you're falling from the same high ground
it all comes back around

Im well aware of failure as Im constantly reminded of it in the mail
and the boat that we were sailing is the one in need of bailing suddenly
have I suddenly become some different soul
and did you become the innocent that fell into the resulting hole
is it such a shocking revelation after all
made to get up off our feet before we lean to crawl

show me how I have fallen short read to me the judgement of the court
but be careful as you're coming down you're falling from the same high ground
it all comes back around


It all comes back around

This is an old demo that Ive been sitting on for years and years... Theres so much more to it than what you hear here.. but I may never get to really complete it. Its part of a collection of music.. a project called " HeartBeat " a collection of tunes in either 3/4 or 6/8 ( the human heart beats in these times )

Lyrics:

Youre giving me reasons to play
youre giving me good thing to say
Youre changing my whole life today
and theres a couple thing I want to say
Its the sun on your face
its the wind in your hair
and when Im not a perfect man
its the way you dont care

youre giving me reasons to play
youre giving me good things to say
I think youre my best friend today
and theres a couple of things I want to say
your breath in my ear
and the words that Ill never find
and when im not a perfect man
its the way you dont mind..

Thanks for listening !

Dance Of The Excited Mongoose

This is a song dedicated to my old friend Karl heilgeist ( RIP ) A great drummer and an interesting cat.

Breeze comin through the window… I thought it might be you ..But since it’s not gonna sleep till I’m not tired.. aint gonna make my bed..  gonna sleep till I’m not tired.
No one comes to my house..  so I ring the bell myself
There’s no one around to drink to.. so I drink to myself .. here’s to me and my good health
( chorus )
Here’s to sittin all alone.. here’s to a good nights sleep… here’s to luck and borrowed time ..that may be our only wealth.. but most of all here’s to me ….and my  good health

There’s a breeze comin through the window.. and it sends me back to sleep
You cant blame the wind for blowin..  think I’ll just blame you since there’s no one else around.
And no one comes to my house.. gonna ring the bell myself
And there’s no one around to drink to.. so I drink to myself here’s to me and my good health

My Good Health

The Founding Fathers

(Soon) 250 Years since founded
George invented honesty and on hearts he pounded
A deity this military man
Found independence for declaration

Where are the mothers?
Your Lionesses...
To a country of men the truth confesses

You stuck with George
Man of many tooth
First president for country that found youth
He led convention for constitution
You learned he didn't lie
Begin fake institution

Where are the mothers?
Your Lionesses...
To a country of men the truth confesses

Let's stick to the cronies
Vice 1 makes Potus
Revolution not televised
Bring the lawyer as lotus
From the board of war to man on top
John Adams shut you up
No sedition let rot

Where are the mothers?
Your Lionesses...
To a country of men the truth confesses

We are cruising with cronyism
Vice 2 moves to lead
Man of 600 slaves became voice of your seed
Author of independence forever on page
The smooth Thomas Jefferson slave loving sage

Where are the mothers?
Your Lionesses...
To a country of men the truth confesses

To.Madison, James
Well, He broke the Vice!
And championed well needed bill of rights
Unified colonies
To seperation of powers
Small liberations with left leaning vowers

Where are the mothers?
Your Lionesses...
To a country of men the truth confesses

Benjamin Franklin
Good saver of slaves
Good saver just after his fortune was made
Alexander Hamilton! Slave trade, just for family
Not a great look... Our image is gravity

Where are the mothers?
Your Lionesses...
To a country of men the truth confesses

John Jay got bank
Now, be gone with salvery
Don't worry boys
Slow abolition be savoury
The federalist papers
Written wide rights
Seven founding fathers are clear in our sights

And where are the mothers?
Still to this day
This country of me 
Chauvanism made way
Where is your lotus
Real truth for your POTUS
It's cavemen of Congress
Ever country dishonest

Happy quarter millennia day
Let's find that truthful USA
Happy quarter millennia day
Let's find that truthful USA



Thoughts....
This is why I thought it was so important for Kamala to beat Orange Sith. America from my point of view and considering it's very short history has a lot of societal poison to transcend. Much of the xenophobic elements are being purposely reignited by the clown and Kamala for me could have helped empower women in America like never before. Because of the US's positive or negative influence around the world, any policy bullshit in my head could not have been the main decision. US politics is fucked until proportional representation is brought in and the electrical college and jerrymandering is got rid of. The system is designed to be corrupted by special interests like no other country on the planet. Now is the moment to really pay attention because the right wing have a chance, the funds and now that Orange Sith is removing the built in seperation of powers that have a clear line between law enforcement and politicians (this is GONE now... Not will go .. It's GONE...) America is dangerously close to an unremovable autocratic regime. It's hard to believe but it's unfolding before our very eyes and some of the 77 million people that got everyone here need to really go for a soul search in this pea heads opinion. We have Guinness though and popcorn so we'll watch from over here. I do love America though and hope this period of widespread ignorance will burn out soon and change for the better of everyone! 🫶🏿🪶🇺🇸🧬🎶🔆

I know I make fun of the founding father... Whatever but the fact is even though they were in the slave trade business and yes that's relative to the time... Their ethics and morals were unquestionably founded in unity more so then the current ego maniac that got voted in... News sources are too polarized for most Americans to see this properly so really not sure what the answer is. Time for the Dems to stop being pussies or you're all fucked for a while 🫶🏽🇺🇸🪶🧬

The Founding Fathers

Dedicated to the little Shrew our cat Yoda just killed playing with it in the garden. I saw it's last breath man. RIP Shrew, sorry buddy...

Lyrics written last night... It's wasn't meant to be about the Shrew but I suppose the best Shrew ever is the perfect representation of what it is about...

All of us and everything as equal (🌌=🐀)=Future
So say a 🫛

The song is 99.9 bars long to pay homage to Sir Shrews final moments...


Mind Microscopic

Tell us a story
One of life
Paint it with pen
Word colourful wife
Marry reality now good fine fjord
Unjulate silently coastal smoothed chord
Pen ponder today
Page approve this great zest
When simple we say
Safe proof of our chest

The treasure is thoughtless
Empty we widen
Wist lightened weight
Anti-matter pen finding
Silence unsealed for this story of ink
Define pictured world as we opposite blink
calm goes the reason
Being it made more
Year for four season'
Quart' beam themed flower

Some paint through cold
The spring full of life
Tone tended phonic of fuse made might
Shown, not told
Perspective of honest
Cloned unique know
Evolution upon us
Brevity braved
Be bulldozer brilliant
D7 saved
Complication resiliant

Duality droned
Treat conflict as thinned
Gruel human race
On your feet like the wind
With leaf power blow
Bow to your psalm
Appreciate zoned locks of name good golden
Elliptical haven
This heaven marks dust
We are woke to this brazen epiphanic life crust

Scene cares to curate
A fearless calmed fuss
Musings are malleable
Truth as new just
Dawn Daisies do daintiest dance as examples
Gaia be grind
Tend system with us
Higher universal bind
Light wisted weight flush
Magnetic mind control
Neuroplastic seed opposite
Beamed optimistic
Make dark microscopic

Oh Ai Oh rise
Oh kind tropic
Mind microscopic
Oh bind the topic
Oh mind microscopic
Oh kind tropic
Oh mind microscopic
Ohhhhhh ohhhhh oh oo Oh



Notes
This song was supposed be about the irony of how thinking too much a lot of the time hides our actual wisdom. I had been considering the reason as "our version of reason" up to the point of our thoughts flow. this can get warped and bias quite easily. What I've found with writing is that it's when I'm at my most relaxed and thinking about nothing at all, is when I get the most complicated lyrical thought flow. I'm considering it's down to switching off my current bias thought which is filled with emotion and reactive to the environment. Where as Buddha mode, which my Grandad would say is us in our subconscious (Bill was an amazing poet) seems to offer a better delivery of the wisdom we have learned via intuitive access. In the moment it feels like a simultaneous firing of everything up there but at the same time is effortless. It's an incredible contrast between a non meditative state and that tranquil one where counterintuitively one would assume your not getting answers.... TBC

The Shrew makes it important as the Shrew lives on instinct... As does Yoda somewhat... He saw a thing moving he's never seen before and acted on instinct. The Shrew was just being a Shrew and being it's instinctual self. Our ability to reason so well has maybe got us out of touch with our instinct way too much and hence we create this bias avatar with regularily very questionable ego based views of reality  (me included obviously)


The Shrew doesn't live in its mind in the sense that it can't be distracted from a mission by a detailed reasoning of its environment and is guided by its instinct. Maybe we do live in our minds too much, my Aunt and spiritual guide always telling me I do anyways...

Time to meditate more maybe and get better at switching off the noise 🔆 Shrew power 🤍

No AI. None at all. Hello!   If I was good enough, something would have happened by now…maybe it  did and I just didn’t pay attention. Maybe I’m in the midst of something.

I’m primarily a Songwriter and play and sing too. 

I used to  perform with various talented artists. Im now returning to writing and recording.  Theres some evidence of this…

Theres always someone new to hear . 


Thanks for listening and providing inspiration via your own beautiful art.

Side Note :  My goal here is to upload my catalog to date... thats something ….right?

I am humbled by your kind and generous spirit and your willingness to share it.

I’ve been ignored by some really talented people.. it is my claim to fame.

Hey there! If you’re reading this, you’re one of the few... thanks for existing! 🤟
👉We are an eclectic band that blends elements of electronic dance, metal, pop, punk, rock, synth wave and more to create a unique and engaging sound We're a bunch of very shy aliens🛸 (4 males 💁🏻‍♂️🙎‍♂️🙋🏼‍♂️🦸🏼‍♂️ and 1 female🙅‍♀️, the guitarist/backup singer). Our earthly names (and nicknames) are Tom ("Lucifer" - lead vocals and occasional keyboards/guitar), Mary ("Vampira" or just "V" - guitarist and backing vocals), Mauro ("Maux" - keyboards, piano, synths and winds), Davide ("Dave", "Quiet D" or just "D" - bass and synth bass), and Valerio ("Brad", drums and percussions). 
Enjoy the music!😉
😓Final note (or rant): this platform (and not just this one) keeps getting more disappointing. Seeing so-called ‘songs’ made with AI and a bunch of prepackaged beats from cheap apps - by people who couldn’t even play an E minor on a guitar or sing even when drunk - is seriously frustrating. In the long run, we might start showing up here less… or even leave altogether! If that ever happens, you’ll find all our other links below.
