Truly like this melody and soothing vibe. Great, great song.

I was just about to write that this has the feel and vibe of a "This is the kit" track, then I read your bio and see that youve supported Rozi Plain. I can see that working. Fab song, super vocal and I just love the brass and kit.

Wonderful writing and composition, and a fantastic vocal!

Wonderful song, great lyrics, bravo my friend !

What an incredible mix and original piece, gets one thinking!

This Machine Builds Fascists is about how I feel capitalism has led to a sense of global insecurity which has resulted in a surge of right wing populist thought which verges on fascism.

We made a machine, made a machine
A marvellous modern machine
It roars and it screams, roars and it screams
Gobbling oil and spitting out steam
What does it do? What does it do?
Tell us all, what does it do?
It strikes a spark that lights a fuse

All you gathered in this place
Lift your gaze towards the light
All you gathered in this place
Lift your gaze towards the light
And we need never live in darkness
While our engines make their mark upon the night


The smoke and the sigh, the screech and the sound
The grind of the gears spinning round
The gnashing of teeth, the rumbling ground
The echoes resound and resound
Rattling nerves, rattling bone
A treacherous shaking of stone
To bring down everything you’ve known

All you gathered in this place
Raise your hands to feel the heat
All you gathered in this place
Raise your hands to feel the heat
And you can dream about the feeling
While you’re shivering and reeling in the street


We made a machine, made a machine
A marvellous modern machine
It roars and it screams, roars and it screams
Gobbling oil and spitting out steam
What does it do? What does it do?
Tell us all, what does it do?
It strikes a spark that lights a fuse

Lyrics:
.
When you need me - far away
Say my name I'll be there today
I hope you know it's with Gods I play
Open your eyes it's a blissful game
. 
(oh)
.
Time together, time we share
Nothing to do but be aware
Hope you see how much I care
Open you eyes and take me there. 
. 
(oh)
.
Focus! Focus!
Focus! Focus! 
Focus! Focus! 
Love is in the air! 
.
Focus! Focus!
Focus! Focus! 
Focus! Focus! 
Love is in the air!
.

Blissful Game (2023)

I jump out of bed every morning eager to continue the fight.
There’s so many wrongs in the world today.
I want to try make them right.
All those negative people out there, I pretend they don’t exist
The more times they tell me no, the harder I persist.

Life keeps trying to knock me down.
But as soon as my body hits the ground.
I bounce back up with a grim smile on my face.
And I lurch on forward slightly dazed with a sense of purpose only I can see.

I’m gonna focus on what’s important, I’m gonna stay above the fray.
Every obstacle I encounter, I’ll push it out of my way.
If anybody tries to stop me, like a steamroller I’ll run them flat.
Like a boxer facing a TKO I’m goanna to jump up from the mat

I’m gonna put one foot in front of the other.
I’m gonna keep right on going.
I’m trying as hard as I can. 
I’ve got no intention of slowing.

I’m gonna to be as relentless as one of those zombies in the walking dead.
I’m not goanna let any negative thoughts creep into my head.

I’m gonna  make up for lost time. 
I’m gonna  squeeze the most out of every day.
And if I head down the wrong path,
I’m gonna a turn around and find a better way.

All those sacrifices I’ve been making.
Its goanna be worth the time I spent.
I’m goanna flap my wings as hard as I can.
I’ll continue my ascent.
They say the darkest hour is just before the dawn.
And if I hit a rough patch I’ll continue to push on


Life keeps trying to knock me down.
But as soon as my body hits the ground.
I bounce back up with a grim smile on my face.
And I lurch on forward slightly dazed with a sense of purpose only I can see.

I’m gonna unlock the door to my cage and set myself free.

Bounce Back Up

I DONT KNOW WHAT TO SAY  By The Bluez Dogz eddyoffline Geronnimo & The Junez

9 - 5 - 2024

If your love should end today
Just dry up & blow away
I want to be the last to know

If your smiles aren’t all they seem
If I’m living in a dream
I want to be the last to know

Go tell your Mother first
Go tell your Father first
Go tell your Sister first
Go tell your Brother first
Go tell your best friend first
Go tell your hairdresser first

Take your time & make the rounds
Cos every stolen moment counts
I want to be the last to know

The Fool

Many thanks to Frank Mehl, who worked over my AI generated version of this song, so it got even more beauty.
Lyrics:
[Verse] In a land of dreams Where the moonlight gleams There's a fairy creature With mystical themes With a voice so pure And a heart so bright She sings her song To create a new light [Verse 2] With every note The stars align As she weaves her magic In a rhythm divine Her melody floats In the soft night air Creating a world Beyond compare [Chorus] Her song soars Like a gentle breeze Unveiling a realm Where dreams find peace With each sweet word Her power unfurls The fairy creature Who creates new worlds

Secret Garden (2018) Anthology CD1 Track 11

If blood will flow when flesh and steel are one
Drying in the colour of the evening sun
Tomorrow′s rain will wash the stains away
But something in our minds will always stay
Perhaps this final act was meant

To clinch a lifetime's argument
That nothing comes from violence and nothing ever could
For all those born beneath an angry star
Lest we forget how fragile we are

On and on the rain will fall like tears from a star, like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say how fragile we are, how fragile we are

On and on the rain will fall like tears from a star, like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say how fragile we are, how fragile we are
How fragile we are, how fragile we are
