Every Anniversary Featuring Perry Coleman

Ashtray Mouth is the sound of queer desire scraped raw — a smoky confession whispered between motel sheets and ash-stained prayers.
Ellis Wilder croons through heartbreak and hunger in this aching indie-folk ballad, where bruises tell stories and the Bible stays shut.
With stripped vocals, cracked harmonies, and lyrics that burn slow, “Ashtray Mouth” is a hymn for the damned and tender — for the boys who kiss like they’re forgetting, and the ones who let them.
This is folk music with a pulse and a scar.

What are you doing to me

### The Best for Her
(c) J. Murdock McInnes Vasey

[intro]

I always want the best for her
I can't believe that means to quit
There must be something I can do
To make the pieces fit

It wears me out to keep on trying
It eats away to keep on lying
Day by day we all are dying
And time is going away

Every day I tell myself
I must find another way
Another way to help, and change her fate
Or am I much too late

I don't need so very much
Or am I lying to myself
Is it me that needs some more
But I cannot close the door

[chorus]
She can't do what she can't do
Some things she can't no more
Some thoughts are now long gone
Nothing's ever like before

[instrumental]

I always want the best for her  
I can't believe that means to quit  
There must be something I can do  
To make the pieces fit

She can't see me anymore
She sees my shape but it ain't me
She can't hear my voice
Just someone making noise

I can only stay a bit
After a while I have to quit
Seeing her I feel remorse
But for what? That is the curse

This could have ended long ago
But it keeps on going on
No one's being helped
Where's the ending to this song

[chorus]  
She can't do what she can't do
Some things she can't no more
Some thoughts are now long gone
Nothing's ever like before

[instrumental]

This could have ended long ago
But it keeps on going on
No one's being helped
Where's the ending to this song

[chorus]  
She can't do what she can't do
Some things she can't no more
Some thoughts are now long gone
Nothing's ever like before

[outro]




The Best for Her (C)

A silent rain falls as Merlin Mirage stands with closed eyes in the tropical light. His voice carries the longing for closeness, yet it remains unfulfilled—transformed into a melancholic echo. This song is a confession of solitude, an intimate testimony that breathes through the falling drops.
Every chord resounds like a heartbeat, every verse unveils another layer of silence. “I Was Always Alone” is not just a song—it is a state of being, an inner tremor, an unveiled mirror.

Lonely Night

“I’d Move Heaven & Earth”
This track dives into the kind of love that refuses to die, even when lifetimes get in the way. It follows Alexander and Astra — two souls who keep finding each other across centuries. In this life, they collide again in modern-day London, but the weight of their past lives hits Astra like a storm she isn’t ready to face. Every flashback, every echo of who they were, shakes her to the core.

Alexander feels it too. The familiarity. The truth. The ache of losing her before — more than once. But this time he’s determined not to let history repeat itself. The song is the cry of a man who would literally challenge gods, storms, fate… anything… just to keep their souls connected.

The lightning, the runes, the presence of Odin — they’re symbolic of the forces that have shaped their story through time. Old gods watching. Destiny circling like ravens above them. A love bigger than one life, trying to break through the chaos of another.

At its heart, this song is about recognising someone your soul already knows… and fighting like hell not to lose them again.

I'D MOVE HEAVEN AND EARTH

[Verse 1]
When I first saw your face here
Something deep inside me had to really know
If you felt the same as I did
Or if I’d walk this road alone

[Verse 2]
The days rolled by I doubt you noticed 
You were living out a life already planned
Until the day your storm came calling
Then saw the love within my hands

[Pre-Chorus]
Time has passed, the storm has died
And now I’m shattered here to find
That every dream I held for us
Was broken in my mind
The night you said, goodbye, goodbye!

[Chorus]
I’d move Heaven and Earth
Just to keep you close
I’d challenge the Gods
So you’d never go
Oh…
I’m lost in the dark
As I walk alone

[Verse 3]
Now I’m replaying every moment
Every word you whispered through those sacred nights
Oh…
Your beauty cut right through me
Just like it shone beneath the crimson raven skies

[Chorus]
I’d move Heaven and Earth
Just to keep you close
Challenge old northern Gods
So you’d stay at home
Oh…Oh…
I’m lost in the dark
Can't find my way home

[Bridge]
We could’ve had forever
In another life.
Maybe in the future
Our love will reignite
Oh…
With you by my side 

[Chorus – Final]
I’d move Heaven and Earth
Just to keep you close
Challenge old northern Gods
So you’d never go
Oh…
I’m lost in the dark
Can’t find my way home
As I walk alone.
Can’t find my way home
As I walk alone
Alone

I write the lyrics; Mr. Alfonso Suno composes the music.  Working with the lovely Ms. Ai Ongaku, they create the arrangements.  Ms. Ongaku and her crowd are responsible for the performances.  My part in creating these tracks is very small. Nonetheless, I am to blame.  Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa.
