Has a wonderful sence of time quietly passing by !! nice work man!! :))

I get a cool feeling from this one in August

Lovely man...this makes me feel good. Thank you!!

really really gorgeous piece of music J.J.. There's nobody in the EC gang that could pull this off as well as you (not a complaint about us, nut a compliment about you!). Reminds me a bit of Brian Eno, whom I really only got into in the last few years believe it or not. So relaxing and opens up the mind...

Summer Breeze

Lost In Space

I went to the movies twice this summer, after not having been there since well before the pandemic. This music came out of that experience, as I was reminded of how much I love the cinema.

Roll The Credits

This improvisation started out as a holiday song.  "Musings" are my sketch journal like a painter.  Most are complete songs with some interesting twists.  Thank you for listening!

A Musing #8

In this track I used strings, piano, clarinet, flute, lyre and glockenspiel.
Thank you for listening !

Sentenced without Trial (A poem by Bill Stapleton)

The executioner has come to cut thee down.
I know not for what crime.
The human race needs living space
And you have little time.

No counsel for your defence
No witness to your beauty
No guardian of your civil rights
It matters not - you're guilty!

Where are the lovers you shaded
When summer hearts were wed
Speak now for your leafy friend
Before his life is shed

Did no one see you in Springtime
When your buds were awake in bloom
Did no one pass last Autumn
On your golden carpet, strewn

Why don't you run away?
The humans are coming fast
Don't just stand there and be acquired
Your security is past

Dumb innocence give me your seed
And let me away to sow
In some undeveloped land
Where the crocuses can grow.
......
Where are the lovers you shaded
When summer hearts were wed
Speak now for your leafy friend
Before his life is shed

Bill says, " A considerable time had lapsed since I had written any poetry probably due to the shock of my heart attack. In fact I was not sure whether I could still do so. It was a great comfort to me therefore to achieve this poem after an elapse of nearly five years.
The theme of civil rights comes from the northern troubles. I got the idea while out for a walk around Silverpine, the lovely little roads now sadly changed by housing development. Many lovely old trees cut down while others await their fate with 'Security' and 'Acquired' boards ignominiously nailed to them.
The last verse is a lesson on how we can co-operate to save the situation by planting a new tree"

Bill lived for nine more years after writing those words. It's interesting how the health shock effected his creativity and so nice he re-found it. Maybe a nice reminder to use our time well 🔆


I really love the third stanza. "Where are the lovers you shaded?..." Bill is looking at these condemned trees and wondering about the beautiful unconditional love it showed to people who are now no where to be seen when the trees need them. For me this wraps up what I've learned and had confirmed from Papa's poetry. Humans use the planet but get lost in our own pleasure and forget about what actually keeps us alive and what makes this such a wonderful planet to be on and that we do get to share. We share it with all the trees and eachother. We are however the only ones with either the intelligence to save it from ourselves or stay blinded and condemn it like these trees were condemned to their doom. Thanks Papa


This in my opinion is why laws against single use plastics and similar environmental saviours are so important. When idiosy decides to reverse them on a whim and because of only economics the indifference grows collectively and we lose our focus on the tree and the system as a whole. We then also forget that in focusing on the welfare of the tree, we focus on our own welfare. It's easy to forget this when we don't experience a direct relatable suffering however compassion towards the system still has our answers to a smoother future along side our dear tree friends 🫛

Since 2019 I have been producing music using the wonderful vocals from Junior Paes.  By doing this I have developed my skills I have today which I am truly grateful for.

Thank you so much, Junior Paes, for the incredible vocals and lyrics. I truly enjoyed the chance to work with them and produce my own version.

I Still Remember by djoctx

Uploaded : 3rd Nov 2025 22:30
VERSE - 1
boy, I still remember when I saw your face
I was blushing all the way home that night
I thought no one would take your place
but now you're gone

boy, I still remember when I saw your smile
I liked your shirt and I liked your style
I thought no one else could call you "mine"
but now I'm done

Please, don't say "I'm wrong"
Cuz' I know I'm right
Baby, I'm home alone
but I'm feeling alright

(Pre - Chorus)
Please, so please, don't get me wrong
I will keep just singing my song
so please, don't call me "bad"
Cuz' I'm done!

(Chorus)
I'm not okay, I'm not okay
with you I think I'm done
I'm not okay, I'm not okay
with you, God bless you're gone

I'm not okay, I'm not okay
with you I think I'm done
I'm not okay, I'm not okay
with you, God bless you're gone

I think I'm done, done
I'm done, I'm done
I'm done with you
God bless you're gone

I think I'm done, done
I'm done, I'm done
I'm done with you
God bless you're gone

VERSE - 2
boy, I still remember when I felt your touch
I was falling in love for you that night
I thought no one would take you from me
now I can see...

boy, I still remember when I held your hands
listening to that song that made us dance
I thought no one else could break my heart
You let me falling apart

Please, don't say "I'm wrong"
Cuz' I know I'm right
Baby, I'm home alone
but I'm feeling alright

(Pre - Chorus)
Please, so please, don't get me wrong
I will keep just singing my song
so please, don't call me "bad"
Cuz' I'm done!

(Chorus)
I'm not okay, I'm not okay
with you I think I'm done
I'm not okay, I'm not okay
with you, God bless you're gone

I'm not okay, I'm not okay
with you I think I'm done
I'm not okay, I'm not okay
with you, God bless you're gone

I think I'm done, done
I'm done, I'm done
I'm done with you
God bless you're gone

I think I'm done, done
I'm done, I'm done
I'm done with you
God bless you're gone
I think I'm done, done

I'm done with you
I think I'm done, done
I'm done with you
