I Wont Ask You To Stay

Hope to Help PROMO

Song about moving on, reinventing yourself, letting go 

Train song

I had the very good fortune to connect with Andy H aka “Noobly” a few months ago over music that we mutually admired and we agreed to find a future opportunity to collaborate. This is the result. Noobly’s beautifully rich track, propelled by his soaring guitar work, felt like a kind of call to prayer to my ear. I tried to echo this somewhat in singing the bridge. Lyrically, just for kicks I used the Socratic Method to construct the verses (persuasion through Q&A) so that this song’s meaning becomes self-evident and hopefully more of a personal experience for each listener. Thanks for checking it out!

Prideful Pride

Do you remember the day when pride took you for its own
When a thief stole something precious in you

Do you remember the day when pride took you for its own
When a thief stole something precious in you
Did it happen when all of your friends cut you out
Was your heart set on winning something, but you lost instead
And when you were maimed did the anger in you surge
Can you mark the moment when you became someone else
Is your truth under layers of scar and combat
Are you the new thief, looting joy from everywhere

Prideful pride keeps piling on, on, on
Building your walls, can’t go wrong, wrong, wrong
Finding it hard to get along, along, along
Your pride is killing you, long before you’re gone, gone, gone

And in the end you’ll be left with nothing
A bright light that’s gone too dim
I have been in a prison of my own before, just like you
Until I let the facade fall
And was set free, free

Are things more difficult now that you are going it alone
And do you leave enough room for both your sadness and your anger
Does that wall keep scary things in, and the invaders out
Are you winning this imaginary war you think you’re fighting

Prideful pride keeps piling on, on, on
Building your walls, ’can’t go wrong, wrong, wrong
Finding it hard to get along, along, along
Your pride is killing you, long before you’re gone, gone, gone

Prideful Pride

Lately I've been working on a piano version to this song, I love it on guitar but had to give it the feelings from those eighty eight keys. It's similar to the other version but has some different flares and melody from the keys, which I liked. Also, I sang it a bit different too, it's just what the keys do.  I did this live recording way late last night close to 3am. I thank a beauty that wishes to remain unknown, for the really incredible heartfelt lyrics.  Gave it my all, and gave it the best melody I could, cause where the lyrics came from just means the world to me...Her sweet heart, and this song will forever be incredibly special to me. Thanks to all who listens!:) 

My Escape

The world fades to silence
The night pulls me in 
Close my eyes
And I find you again
No time no distance
No walls in between
Only the place
You're waiting for me 
In the daylight
You're a memory 
But in the dark
Your're right here with me 
Ooo Ooo 
Oh Oh 
Oh Ohhhhhh!

You're my escape
When the stars start to shine
Where the past and forever 
Collide in my mind
No goodbyes no heartbreak
Just you next to me
In the place where we love
Endlessly
Ooo Ooo

You're touch feels so real
Your whisper so clear
I swear you can hold me 
Like you are really here
But the morning keeps stealing 
What the night lets me keep
And I wake up
Alone from the dream
In the daylight 
You're a memory 
But in the dark
You're right here with me
Ooo Ooo
Oh Oh 
Oh Ohhhhhh!

You're my escape
When the stars start to shine
Where the past and forever 
Collide in my mind
No goodbyes no heartbreak
Just you next to me
In the place where we love
Endlessly
Ooo Ooo

Maybe someday 
I won't have to wake
Maybe one night
You'll ask me to stay
Until then I'll be waiting 
Eyes closed heart awake
For the moment 
I find you...
My escape
Ooo Ooo Ooo

Lyrics: 

Our bodies are enslaved, but our minds and our spirits do not have to be. Do not fear thinking outside what is considered normal, do not fear to think unlike your peers. If they judge you, let them; their opinions are of ill importance; what matters is your heart, what matters is the truth. This physical existence is but only a short chapter in the epic tale of you and I; a tale that connects us all and stretches throughout eternity.

As your lives are spent working day in and day out to reach the a-typical material goals, ask yourself in a deeper sense: are you happy? Do you know true happiness? Or do you merely find comfort within the confines of societal boundaries because it is safer to follow the majority?

Liberate your spirit; even if it means being criticised, even if it means being considered abnormal;

 everyone has the right and/or power to be themselves, we just need to break free from the shackles of fear which hold us back from revealing what is behind the mask.

LIBERATION. 🎧


Verse 1 

How many tears I cried for you Remembering how you betrayed me You left me in bitter loneliness And for that friend you abandoned me 

Verse 2 

I begged for your compassion But nothing bent your heart You turned into a monster of evil You turned into a monster

 Pre-chorus 

And you didn't care about what you did

Chorus 

You think you're so pure and so blameless And you make me look like a bad fruit You tell everyone you're ripe And that I don't matter to you anymore I'm the bad guy in what you tell me You're the victim of my antics. You pray that I don't see you My insides are already rotten. 

Verse 3 

From all this I learned To no longer depend on anyone Nor do I want to believe anymore You eliminated my feelings. Bridge I think I'll never be able to love you again 

Chorus 

You think you're so pure and so blameless And you make me look like a bad fruit You tell everyone that you're mature And that I don't matter to you anymore I'm the bad guy in what you're telling You're the victim of my antics. You pray that I don't see you. 

Outro 

My insides are already rotten.




ESPAÑOL 

Verso 1


Cuántas lágrimas lloré, por ti 
Recordando cómo tú me traicionaste
En amarga soledad tú me dejaste 
Y por aquel amigo tú me abandonaste

Verso 2

Suplicaba que tuvieras compasión
Pero nada doblegó tu corazón
En monstruo de maldad 
Te convertiste

Pre chorus 

Y nada te importó lo que tú hiciste

Coro

Te crees tan pura y tan libre de culpa
Y me haces ver como una fruta mala
A todos dices que tú eres madura
Y que yonó  te importo a ti ya nada

Yo soy el malo de lo que tú cuentas
eres la víctima de mis andadas.
Tú rezas para que yo no te vea 
Yo tengo ya podridas las entrañas.


Verso 3

De tódo esto yo aprendí
A ya no depender de nadie
Tampoco quiero ya creer 
mi sentimiento eliminaste. 


Puente 

Creo que jamás podré
volver a amarte

Coro

Te crees tan pura y tan libre de culpa
Y me haces ver como una fruta mala
A todos dices que tú eres madura
Y que yonó te importo a ti ya nada

Yo soy el malo de lo que tú cuentas
eres la víctima de mis andadas.
Tú rezas para que yo no te vea. 

Outro

Yo tengo ya podridas las entrañas.

Heart and Soul

Mistletoe love

Risen is a worship album that celebrates the victory, hope, and new life found in the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Each song reflects the power of the empty tomb, the fulfillment of God’s promise, and the assurance that death has been overcome.

Rooted in reverent worship and uplifting melodies, the album is designed to inspire faith, gratitude, and confidence in Christ’s finished work. The songs move from reflection on the cross to joy in the resurrection, creating a meaningful journey of praise and renewal.

Risen is music for worship, celebration, and quiet reflection. It invites listeners to rejoice in the truth that Christ is alive, hope is secure, and new life is available to all who believe.

Garden of Surrender

Love music as much as air. I am writing & creating  my own music with the help of Ai tools. Hope you will listen to some of them.
I write from my heart and from my gut, trying to figure out what it means to be me, this human, in a world that is fighting against itself. And a brain that is doing the same.
