The Music Video for Mr. J is out now: https://youtu.be/HWQ-U_8Aen8

In her new song Inyha takes us on a journey to the 7th heaven of love on the wings of Mr. J. But even if love can give us wings, it cannot free us from our own chains, it can only give us the will and energy to do so for ourselves. This is the image Inyha paints with her handmade sounds and arrangements in melancholic, nostalgic colors and a dreamy 90ies touch.

Mr. J

VOID
IN THE SILENCE OF THE NIGHT
I FEEL THE EMPTINESS INSIDE
A VOID THAT WON'T BE FILLED
WITH NOTHING, NOT EVEN WITH LOVE

(CHORUS)
THE EMPTINESS CONSUMES ME
LIKE A NEVER-ENDING HOLE
I SEEK SOMETHING TO FILL ME
BUT I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO GO

IN THE CITY FULL OF LIGHTS
I FEEL MORE ALONE THAN EVER
LOST IN THE CROWD

(CHORUS)

I TRY TO FILL THIS EMPTINESS
WITH THINGS THAT DON'T SATISFY ME
AND I CANT ESCAPE FROM THIS

(CHORUS)

Hank Rusch goes for the throat with this stripped down raucous rocker about a fugitive from injustice called The Innocent.  Hank creates a raw precision with his spare but loud use of only drums, bass, guitar. Sweet but grinding like frosting on a cake with a file inside Hank give us just desserts with his slide guitar work. Hank's voice brings an authentic dimension to the song as he recounts the first person story of a man wrongly convicted, escaped, on the run.  Hank's screaming falsetto in tandem with his high slide guitar ends the song like a war cry... as if to say, Today is a good day to die, but I will fight for one more.

The Innocent
I went down to the River
I saw somethin' no one ever should see
The law did somethin' bad
They pinned it all on me

On my way to Leavenworth
the train it left the tracks
Everybody broke their backs
But I walked out without a scratch

So they put me in Joliet
on a back to back 30 stretch
But me and a road dog found a way
to put a hole in the fence

We ran and ran in our prison stripes
til' we found a old garage
We put on mechanics uniforms
and hot wired the owner's Dodge

We put some miles between Joliet
We drove without the lights
I wished the darkness would never end
It started gettin' light

They caught my partner and they made the Dodge
he went down in a blaze of bullets
I watched it all from the café
as I stuffed my hungry gullet

I slipped out of town on a mail truck
your letters might be a little late
'cause they shot it full of lead
I crawled into a sewer grate

I met a woman in St. Paul
She liked me and she took me in
She believed I was innocent
as long as I gave her good lovin'

But I saw her sittin' in a G man's car
I could tell from the government plates
They had the goods on her for somethin' else
She gave me up and turned states

I've been runnin' for five year now
I've used every alias
What I saw the law do that night
they'd hang if I was to witness

Listen to my story
I got to tell it before I'm gone
I swear to you I'm the innocent
There's more where I came from

I'm The Innocent, I'm The Innocent
Lord have mercy on my soul
I'm The Innocent, I'm The innocent
Don't try to give me your back door parole
I'm The Innocent, I'm The Innocent,
If I stop runnin' I'll never get old
I'm The Innocent, I'm The Innocent
Lord have mercy on my soul

The Innocent

Snow Moon is the name of the full moon for February, and so this is the next track in our (as yet, unanamed) album that @APi_ZZ and I are making to honour each of the 12 moons of the year. We hope you enjoy it!

WORDS: 

Snow Moon came sailing in on a black anvil cloud
And gazed down at the red roofs in the hushed vale below.
The people were fatigued, that much she knew. 
They felt it had been a long time since Yule, 
The grey-skied days were taking their toll. 
She could hear them as they slumbered on.
Their dreams and prayers stole through her heart 
On their way up the silver stairway to the stars. 

She waved to Aquarius, the Water Bearer,
In no time, sparkling crystals filled his pails,
And he tipped them down towards the vale. 
White lace fractal flakes fell in silent veils, 
Each one complete in itself; unique in shape,
Swaying in murmurations, in soundless accord, 
Whispering into swansdown drifts and banks
And turning the valley into a winter wonderland. 

Snow Moon shone in pleasure at her twinkling boon
Until dawn, when the Sun rose to light the scene 
With an iridescent pink and coral sheen. 
Then two small boys pulled back their blinds, 
Rubbing the sleep from their eyes in delight 
And wonder that their whole world was now white. 
They ran downstairs: “Dad! It’s snow! It’s snow! 
“Do you think the schools will be closed?” 

Dad smiled at the memory of his first Snow Day. 
No trains could run; black ice covered the lanes
It was days before the snow ploughs got through. 
So he knew that there was only one thing to do. 
He went out to his shed, the boys jumping in tow, 
And he reached up to bring down an odd-looking gizmo, 
“What’s that, Dad?” his sons wanted to know,
“It’s a toboggan,” he replied with eyes alight. “Let’s go!”

Snow Moon

The Story

Submission for Weekly Note Composing Jam #6 hosted by emscottish for Itch.IO February 2025

combining works of (Faridoddin Abu Hamed Mohammad Attar Nishapuri) Sufi poet aka Attar ('apothecary') of Nishapur c.1145-1121 AD
and Scottish poet and lyricist Robert Burns 1759-1796 AD

lyrics:

The sea will be the sea,
No matter the drop's philosophy.
(Attar of Nishapur)

We are busy with the luxury of things
Their number and multiple faces bring
To us confusion we call knowledge Say:
God created the world, pinned night to day
Made mountains to weigh it down 
seas To wash its face 
living creatures with pleas
The ancestors of prayers seeking a place
In this mystery that floats in endless space.
(Attar of Nishapur)


Talk not of love, it gives me pain,
For love has been my foe;
He bound me in an iron chain,
And plunged me deep in woe.  
(Robert Burns)

From each, Love demands a mystic silence.
What do all seek so earnestly? 
Place not so firm a value on self-reliance,
Love’s tide erodes what we grasp so thirstily.
Love is the subject of their inmost thoughts,
In Love no longer 'Thou' and 'I' exist,
No musing upon what effort brought, (me)
For self has passed away in the Beloved.
A form which vanishes into mist.
Now will I draw aside the veil from Love,
And in the temple of mine inmost soul
Gaze on the void’s eternal bowl.
Behold the Friend, Incomparable Love.
He who would know the secret of both worlds
And has the opaque pall unfurled, (me)
Will find that the secret of them both is Love.
(Attar of Nishapur)

Cold, alter'd friendship's cruel part,
Open wounds stung by brine, Love. (me)
To poison Fortune's ruthless dart
Let me not break thy faithful heart,
And say that fate is mine, Love. 
(Robert Burns)

Chasing The Next

Short, sharp, punchy punk-edged toe-tapping rock. Enjoy...

I’m the art. I’m the heart. With every step, I break apart
From catwalks to streets, I roamed. A body inked in a world unknown

Latex noir, my rebel guide. Captured moments, no compromise
In a fish tank, I lose my head. To catch the perfect shot, I’ve bled

Like every brushstroke, bold and bright, I dive into the dark, take flight
I get higher than I thought, then I rise again. Then I rise again
 
A string snaps, lovers break. In every move, I recreate
In every move, I recreate. In every move, I recreate
I’m the art, I’m the heart with my recreation
 
Chew on my dreams, swallow my thrill. Painting trees, bending my will
Fashion’s calling, take control. With my friends, we’re on a roll
 
I’m the art, I’m the heart. With every step, I break apart
Latex noir, my rebel guide. Captured moments, no compromise
Keep me reinvented

Turned around and did it again. more upbeat track. Thanks for listening, and I hope you enjoy 🤩🙌🏾💯👊🏾🫵🏾

Million Songs To Get You Off My Mind

Inyha is a Paris based singer-songwriter of Austrian origin. Passionate about music since her childhood, Inyha sings, writes, plays guitar and piano and produces her songs from beginning till end. Authenticity and emotions is what counts most for her in music; this is why she often uses a rather minimal style in her productions, where even silence has its part to play, where classical influences and cinematic sounds can meet with pop music and dreamy soundscapes.

In her lyrics, she uses a lot of imagery of nature, a nature she deeply feels connected with and regularly ventures out to in her leisure time. Her artist name, which is made up of syllabus of her “real” name, refers to a character in a fiction novel about a Native American community. It’s the spirit of the Native American community, the love of nature, freedom and independence, which made Inyha decide for this name.
