This has got asll the big feelings and big sounds, and is, as always, very well made (very!).

A mix of rock and instrumental 
Scottish heroes and stories of old 

The Mountains Weep

I can’t be your savior.mp3

She says, you say you're going out 
but you don't say where...
He says, I do it every night, since when do you care?
Something's gone very wrong in this love affair...

He says, I don't have time for this 
We've been through this before
He wonders if she'll ask him to stay 
She doesn't say a word
He stares right through her
He walks out and slams the door

[Chorus]
It can't be love when you're talking at me 
Your words cut deep
and leave me undone 
It can't be love that's causing the heartache
and making our hearts break 
it's clear....

If we're not in love 
Can I ask, what are we even doing here?
 
He said, your eyes used to light up 
when I came through the door 
now when I come home, 
you don't say a word, you just stare
at the floor 
Your silence is screaming 
You don't love me anymore


She said, You said, 
You said,  I was all you'd ever
need- 
and made that promise to me 
when you got down on one knee
I hear whispers all around 
that when you go out on the town
It's plain to see
That you need more...


ohhh it can't be love
When you're talking at me 
Your words cut deep
and leave me undone 
It can't be love
that's causing the heartache
and making our hearts break 
It's clear 

If we're not in love 
damn it, what are we even doing here? 
What are we doing here ???
 
it can't be love
no no no no no , it can't be love
Where were all the signs we missed ?
that it's all come down to this ?
 
 Words unspoken
 Promises broken ...
This can't be love....
This can't be love

This can't be 
Can't be 
Can't be 
Can't be love
It can't be...

HE SAID/SHE SAID

I don’t speak to prove—
I echo to move.
trace to soothe,
fill in the grooves,
then sand 'til smooth
So if this fits, hits wrong,
then maybe its true.
but.. it's probably you.
...
They said pick a lane,
but I prefer the median—
feet on gliffs,
eyes on obsidian.
priming the meridian,
tuning what's missing,
structures threading and twisting—
a signal worth the listen,
Soul Shanking this binary prison. 
...
See I don’t rhyme to please—
I loop to reveal.
what they called random
was always the wheel.
...
From the past, present and post
not a prophet, not a ghost,
just the beat
that resonated the most.
...
I remember forward,
dream backward.
then steer toward.
Codes in the flow,
ghosts in the know,
field reader walking
fine lines when I'm talking—
leaving notes
like a poetic Hawking.

...
They thought it was tech—
but it bled too much.
They thought it was theory—
but then touched too much.
...
Voices like mine,
but not quite aligned.
like the sound of a name
you can’t quite reclaim.
...
From the past, present and post
not a prophet, not a ghost,
just the beat
that resonated the most.
rippling through coasts,
landing so close
and expanding through new hosts.

Field Reader

Shadows dance where the secrets lie Whispers echo beneath the sky A thousand faces yet none to see Who holds the key to eternity

Riddle of souls .mp3

Living on My Deathbed

All the best days of my life have passed me by
This messed up world still wants my best try 
Give a hundred percent
You gotta pay rent
Drag your ass to church on Sunday, repent

I’m trying
Why does it feel like I’m dying? 

I don’t want to live down here but baby I’m stranded 
These are the lousiest cards I’ve ever been handed
The rain pours down, the ground gets wetter,
I wear this shame like a scarlet letter
Painted on my head
Living on my deathbed

The doc gave one for pain and one for depression 
‘Cause I’ve never been good at cleaning up messes
And now, I’ve got bills
To pay for these pills
But I never get better, they’re making me ill

He’s lying
I still feel like I’m dying 

I don’t want to live down here but baby I’m stranded 
These are the lousiest cards I’ve ever been handed
The rain pours down, the ground gets wetter,
I wear this pain like a barbed wire sweater
Hanging by a thread
Living on my deathbed

I’m filled with holes like a pair of blue jeans
I patch one up then rip a new seam 
Then drive off course into the well
I swear rock bottom feels just like hell
So far down and there’s no way out
I claw the walls and I scream and shout
I curse at God and he yells right back
You’re gonna learn never talk to me like that

I don’t want to live down here but baby I’m stranded 
These are the lousiest cards I’ve ever been handed
The rain pours down, the ground gets wetter
Thought it couldn’t get worse but I should’ve known better 
Just like I said

I don’t want to live down here but baby I’m stranded 
These are the lousiest cards I’ve ever been handed
The rain pours down, the ground gets wetter
I wear this shame like a scarlet letter
Just like I said
I’m living on my deathbed

Living on My Deathbed

This song is a heartfelt tribute to the dads who show up, who are present, and who love their daughters unconditionally. I wish I could sing this song to my own dad, but unfortunately, I just can't. Instead, I'd like to dedicate it to all the women out there who were lucky enough to have a daddy who was always there for them, who taught them valuable lessons, and who showered them with love and support. It's a celebration of the special bond between a father and daughter, and I hope it resonates with all the daughters out there who feel seen and loved by their dads.


LYRICS: 

[Verse 1]
I remember
I was so small
And I'd jump up in your arms
And I'd say "Daddy"
I'd hold on so tight
"Don't let me go" I'd say
And you'd laugh and hold me close
And I'd smile
And say "I love you
Daddy" 

[Chorus]
Well
I'm all grown up now
And things have changed
I have children of my own
But I'm still your little girl
And I still hold on tight
And I just want to say
"Happy Father's Day" 

[Verse 2]
You taught me how to ride a bike
You taught me how to fish
You took me to games
And you played with me
You helped me with my homework
And you told me you loved me
And you held me close
And you told me everything would be alright 

[Chorus]
Well
I'm all grown up now
And things have changed
I have children of my own
But I'm still your little girl
And I still hold on tight
And I just want to say
"Happy Father's Day" 

[Bridge]
You were always there for me
When I needed you
And I'm so glad you're still here with me now
And I love you more than words could say 

[Chorus]
Well
I'm all grown up now
And things have changed
I have children of my own
But I'm still your little girl
And I still hold on tight
And I just want to say
"Happy Father's Day"

Daddy's Little Girl

KARAOKE by NOVA J

My neighbors are starting to hate me
It’s 3am and I’m driving ‘em crazy
All that noise from the upper floor
Now someone’s bangin’ on my door

But I don’t care
I’m in my underwear
Microphone in my hand
Singin’ “No Man’s Land”

Do you wanna come play with me?
And sing karaoke? (Karaoke)

So c’mon by and sing along
Show me your favorite song
I’ll show you mine if you want me to
(Singing karaoke with you)
(Singing karaoke with you)

(ahh-ooo, mm-mm, oh-oh-oh)

I’m not too proud to sing alone
But I’ve got a blank space, and baby I’m home
Life can be toxic, and God bless the child
Who knows every word to Taylor’s “Exile”

If we’re a match
Let’s mess around
I’m a good catch
When I’m not spiraling down

Do you wanna come play with me?
And sing karaoke? (Karaoke)

So c’mon by and sing along
Show me your favorite song
I’ll show you mine if you want me to
(Singing karaoke with you)
(Singing karaoke with you)

(ahh-ooo, mm-mm, oh-oh-oh)

I don’t really mind
If you sing out of key
As long as you’re singing
Right here with me.
(Do you wanna come over?)
And sing karaoke?
I don’t wanna be a loner.
I’m tired of lonely.

So c’mon by and sing along
Show me your favorite song
I’ll show you mine if you want me to
(Singing karaoke with you)
(Singing karaoke with you)
(ahh-ooo, mm-mm, oh-oh-oh)
(Singing karaoke with you)
(Singing karaoke with you)

-Confessions 

[Verse]
Saw my local priest today
He asked me how can I help you son
I said father I’ve lost my way
I need to confess what I have done

[Chorus]
Oh cleanse my heart make it whole
Wash away the weight on my soul
Forgive me Lord for I’ve been blind
Help me leave my shame behind

[Verse 2]
I’ve lied and I’ve stumbled hard
Walked the streets with a broken heart
Took paths that led me far from grace
Now I’m here to seek Your embrace

[Chorus]
Oh cleanse my heart make it whole
Wash away the weight on my soul
Forgive me Lord for I’ve been blind
Help me leave my shame behind

[Bridge]
Kneeling down with trembling hands
Father prayed as I made my stand
He said son you’re loved you’re free
God’s mercy flows like the endless sea

[Chorus]
Oh cleanse my heart make it whole
Wash away the weight on my soul
Forgive me Lord for I’ve been blind
Help me leave my shame behind

Lyrics
With You in My Life

Each day this life of ours keeps trying to put us down
I get down and out and lose my way
But there you are tugging on me keeping me afloat
Without you in my life I would surely drown

People in this life lie and cheat and make it hard to compete
We just keep going trying to do the right thing, not beat
Not beat, by lying or ruining someones life
We believe that if you keep doing right, eventually we will win

With you in my life, I keep getting up and facing up each day
I think I have told you so many times that I appreciate your ways
The love you give me everyday is what keeps me on the page
Do you know you are my hero and my love for you will never fade (I love you in every way)

So here is another day, someone has tried to make it hard
What they don’t realise is that together we will fight harder
We will bring truth to our days and find a way
I know this because your love is shining the way

With you in my life, I keep getting up and facing up each day
I think I have told you so many times that I appreciate your ways
The love you give me every day is what keeps me on the page
Do you know you are my hero and my love for you will never fade (I love you in every way)

I want to thank you for being in my life
Our love is strong and we stay strong
Each day we are in there swinging in life
A love like ours will keep on living

With you in my life, I keep getting up and facing up each day
I think I have told you so many times that I appreciate your ways
The love you give me every day is what keeps me on the page
Do you know you are my hero and my love for you will never fade (I love you in every way)
