Lyrics:
Modern Times

Verse 1

Am I playing the wrong game —- where losing’s a crime
Time’s just not the same—-and there’s no one here to blame
In these modern times——where machines reigns supreme 
breaking all the chains——-to fulfill my dreams
————And that’s a solid —because—- yeah—— I’m back————-
Metaphors and rhymes——-my weapons on this track
Modulating -from the underground ——one culture one voice
And we’re —-wired in like teeth—-like we—-ever—-had a choice

Chorus

Modern times---- a difficult maze
Where screens captivate —— the Information Age
And—-We're all connected——yet we’re—also——-alone
Lost in a sea of pixels----hearts ———-—cold as stone
Modern times————Modern times ——-Modern times

Verse 2

Smartphones--at our side—-our constant companions
That double-edged sword—-has become ——-part of the norm
buzzing Notifications——like a relentless swarm
Distracting —us ——-from moments —-another task ——to perform 
Just another monster ———taking physical form

**Chorus**

Bridge

Artificial intelligence--- a marvel and a threat
Replacing human minds--- leaving us —-deep in debt
Algorithms —-determine our fate—without regret—-
Like marionettes ———or puppets on a strings
Manipulating our thoughts——damn—we are feeding these things

Verse 3

Social media——-a stage ——for the soul to bare
Beneath the surface——lies ——and deceptions —-are clear
We curate our lives——-like a perfect facade
our true selves———pushed aside ——in total disregard

**Chorus**

Outro

In this digital age---we must find our way
Embracing the power——with a huge price to pay
There’s a balance for the screens —-in real life
With the key to our future——a new vision insight

1980's inspired nostalgia. 
Co produced with my wife, Olivia Grant, as she recommended for me to change the original lead guitar part so it is more melodic and not loads of notes played in your face. I think it worked for the better.
Hope you all enjoy listening 🎧

Summer Romance

This song I wrote in 2009 and it's just an old time 1970-1980 power pop rock song, Charlie did a great job singing it and I think we rocked it pretty good! Think of The Cars! Sometimes you just have to say "Damn, look what she's doin' to me!" The video is new, I finished it last month, I think it enhances the song pretty well.

My wife likes it so if she likes it, it's gotta be good, right? It's sassy and at times funny and it's full of cliche's but hell, so is life! I hope you guys like it! Dance if you feel like it, why not? You only live once! Cheers! 🥂

State of confusion  lyrics

I went to a doctor because i hear things  that aren’t there
My mind wanders mentally
I hope you take this seriously

Perception deceiving
Perception  Not believing

I’m hearing voices
That no one else hears
The sound ’s so frightening me
Because   i know they aren’t real

Perception deceiving
Perception  Not believing

So doctor you must help me
To chase this voices and visions away

Tell me this hallucinations are only  temporarally

I  feel things moving under my skin
Imagine the state wher” I’m in
State of confusion, depression hallucination
confusion, depression hallucination

(In layers: lyrics all together)

State Of Confusion (collab Paploviante)

Transition

I made an improvised performance in the image of the TV drama “The Fugitive” that I was crazy about in the 1960s
