reminds me a bit of  when my dad would play Thomas Rhett nice song

Precioso y preciso tema country que encandila por su texto y por una voz que acaricia los oídos.

Gregg - this ballad hits like a last-page conversation after a long journey.  Smooth vocals, open mix and the guitar tone sits perfect.  Reminds me why country storytelling connects across rock & pop audiences. - HollywoodPkr-VAMPits #countryrock

A great vocal performance and fits right into the Sad Cowboy

Really good track and great vocal performance

This song, “They All Knew (Trump & Epstein Blues),” is my protest anthem about power, privilege, and silence. I wrote it to expose the web of complicity between Donald Trump, Jeffrey Epstein, and those who enabled their crimes. It’s not just about two men—it’s about the institutions that looked away while young girls were hurt and justice was traded for influence.

I wanted the verses to feel like reading a declassified file—cold facts dripping with truth—while the choruses rise like a collective cry from the survivors. Every “They all knew” is both accusation and lament, a reminder that silence protects the guilty. This one’s for every voice that was ignored, and for the courage it takes to keep telling the truth.


LYRICS:

[Intro]
Melania knows.
Acosta knows.
The victims know.
Palm Beach Police know.
The FBI knows.
They all know.

[Verse 1 – The Introduction]
’99 at the Knicks game lights,
Donald and Melania, date-night smiles so bright.
Epstein in the crowd, Zampolli pulls the strings,
Models, moguls, dirty kings.
“Terrific guy,” Trump laughed on cue,
They drank champagne while the cameras flew.
But behind that flash, the whispers grew,
And the girls who cried — yeah, they knew too.

[Pre-Chorus]
Palm Beach nights, the mansion walls,
Where secrets echo down the halls.
History’s watching, the world in pause,
And justice trembles at the cause.

[Chorus]
They all knew, they all knew,
Trump and Epstein, the chosen few.
Money hides but truth breaks through,
And the lies all fall in view.
They all knew, yeah, they all knew—
Acosta signed, the pain renewed.
They all knew… they all knew.

[Verse 2 – The Deals and Denials]
Maison de l’Amitié, bought in gold,
While Trump’s casino empire sold.
Epstein lost, the friendship broke,
Two devils choking on their smoke.
Acosta’s pen made the nightmare real,
A secret pact, a sweetheart deal.
The girls were silenced, justice too,
And still they smiled for photo shoots.

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Power talks in whispers low,
While victims beg for truth to show.
History’s bleeding through the cracks,
And Epstein laughs—no turning back.

[Chorus 2]
They all knew, they all knew,
Trump and Epstein, the chosen few.
Mar-a-Lago to Fifth Avenue,
They shared a sin the world once knew.
They all knew, yeah, they all knew,
Acosta signed, the pain renewed.
They all knew… they all knew.

[Verse 3 – The Fall]
Stormy storms and Access lies,
“Grab her by the—” on replay twice.
Melania’s gone, that “cooling off” smile,
She knows the secrets stretch for miles.
Then Epstein’s gone, cameras die,
A noose appears beneath the sky.
Maxwell caught, Virginia speaks,
And Trump denies for endless weeks.

[Bridge – The Reckoning]
She warned, “I’m not suicidal,” clear,
Her voice still ringing in our ears.
The pastor falls, the files still sealed,
The cycle spins, the wounds unhealed.
But truth’s a blade—it cuts through spin,
And even kings can’t cage their sins.

[Chorus – Extended Anthem]
They all knew, they all knew,
Trump and Epstein, the chosen few.
Money hides but truth breaks through,
And ghosts still walk Mar-a-Lago’s view.
They all knew, yeah, they all knew,
Melania, Acosta too—
From Palm Beach halls to D.C.’s pews,
They all knew… they all knew.

[Verse 4 – 2025 and Beyond]
Giuffre’s gone, the headlines fade,
The House calls out, subpoenas laid.
Gloria walks, the victims stand,
Demanding truth across the land.
And Trump just laughs, “Old history,”
While bodies fall like prophecy.
But every lie will meet its due,
When justice finds the chosen few.

[Final Chorus]
They all knew, they all knew,
Trump and Epstein, the chosen few.
The girls were children, now they’re gone,
But truth still sings their battle song.
They all knew, yeah, they all knew,
No more secrets left for you—
We won’t forget, we won’t undo,
’Cause we all know…
And now we see it too.

[Outro]
Melania knows.
Acosta knows.
The victims know.
Palm Beach Police know.
The FBI knows.
Trump knew.
Epstein...
They all knew.

They All Knew (Trump & Epstein Blues)

This one got on the top 40 charts the last time I promoted it. which I'm very proud of! let's make that happen again!!

My temple 🛕

Working through the pain. Trying to find your last love (or has it already passed you by)

You look at me with doubt in your eyes,
Wondering if we're just another love in disguise.
Honey, I can feel the weight of your fears,
But every tear we’ve shed has brought us here.
They say every love’s a gamble, a roll of the dice,
And I know there's a chance we’ll pay the price.
But what if this time, we play it right?
What if tomorrow shines brighter than tonight?

Oh, do you think we’re gonna last?
Honey, every heart's been broken in the past.
But hell, don’t we all wish for a love that’s true?
We can dance with dreams, paint the day anew.
Oh, do you think this is all there is?
Every broken road leads to a final bliss.
So love yourself through the scars and the pain,
‘Cause you never know your last love 'til it reigns.

Every romantic tale is a winding road,
Lessons learned are heavy as a load.
You ask if this will be our final stand,
Well, I'll tell you honey, I’ll take your hand.
Through storms and silence, through laughter and cries,
Together we’ll weather the lows and highs.
As wrong as we were, I loved her still,
Like sipping on whiskey, or climbing a hill.

Oh, do you think we’re gonna last?
Honey, every heart's been broken in the past.
But hell, don’t we all wish for a love that’s true?
We can dance with dreams, paint the day anew.
Oh, do you think this is all there is?
Every broken road leads to a final bliss.
So love yourself through the scars and the pain,
‘Cause you never know your last love 'til it reigns.

But we gotta believe, though it’s tough to see,
This could be the start of something so free.
Moments can change like the tide in the sea,
As long as we’re together, it’s you and me.
We’ll write our own story with each passing day,
Finding the magic in every old cliché.
So hold on tight, let’s take this chance,
With a heart full of hope, let’s join in the dance.

So here’s to the journey, the heartache, the thrill,
With every sweet whisper, let’s love still.
As wrong as we were, here’s what I know,
It’s loving and living that helps us to grow.


Until it's the Last

For anyone who is in turmoil in a relationship.  My tribute to Coldplay's beautiful tune with the help of one of my fingerstyle-guitar inspirations, James Bartholomew.  I hope you enjoy my vocal arrangement on this one.

The Way We Hold On by Tony Gibbs
All rights reserved © ℗ 2025 Tony Gibbs

It’s been a while since that wild first ride,
Since your feet on my dash, since our hearts couldn’t hide.
Now the shoes by the door look a lot like home,
And the life that we built doesn’t feel like a loan.
Coffee cups and calendars,
All the little everyday whispers—
Funny how the smallest things
Become the ones you treasure.

And when the world gets loud outside,
You’re still the quiet place I find—

It’s in the way we hold on,
Soft but strong, steady and long,
How the years turn hard times into songs.
Love ain’t fireworks or perfect lines,
It’s the promise kept a thousand times.
Baby, we’ve come so far,
And I’m still fallin’, still in awe—
Of the way we hold on.

We’ve had nights with too much silence,
We’ve had days when we fell apart.
But every time we lost direction,
You still reached for my hand in the dark.
We learned that love is patient,
More honest than we knew—
It’s sayin’ “I’m not leaving”
Even when the sky turns blue to blue.

And every time my fear kicks in,
You’re there to let the light back in—

It’s in the way we hold on,
Soft but strong, steady and long,
How the years turn hard times into songs.
Love ain’t fireworks or perfect lines,
It’s the promise kept a thousand times.
Baby, we’ve come so far,
And I’m still fallin’, still in awe—
Of the way we hold on.

Maybe love was made for seasons—
Storms and summers, doubts and reasons.
But you’re the place I always land,
My steady heart, my second chance.
And even when the years grow tall,
You’re the one I trust through it all.

It’s in the way we hold on,
In the way we choose to stay when the night feels long.
How forgiveness turns the past to dawn.
Love’s not easy, but it’s ours—
A little fragile, mostly stars.
Baby, even when we’re old and gone,
I’ll still be grateful, still be strong—
For the way we hold on.

Part 6: The Way We Hold On (duet)

Verse 1:
You fell from skies of glowing steel,
Como un ángel hecho de luz,
A presence too unreal to feel,
Yet one I couldn’t ever lose.

Verse 2:
Your chrome wings shimmered in the dusk,
Tu voz tocó mi corazón,
A melody of stars and rust,
A cosmic, burning devotion.

Chorus:
Chrome wings, take me higher still,
Súbeme donde el tiempo es real.
You lift me past the static chill—
Where love becomes our final seal.

Verse 3:
You showed me worlds beyond the veil,
Donde el futuro empieza a nacer,
A universe both sharp and frail,
Yet warm when we confront despair.

Bridge:
Cruzando líneas del destino,
Hand in hand, we break the flow.
Contigo, yo camino—
Wherever star winds blow.

Chorus:
Chrome wings, take me higher still,
Súbeme donde el tiempo es real.
You lift me past the static chill—
Where love becomes our final seal.

This is my idea of a Christmas song :) Love it or hate it. I wish you all a wonderful real Christmas!

Until it's the Last
