The Job
(c) J. Murdock McInnes Vasey

This job is not for me
The bright lights 
on plastic faces
The false cheer 
and hopeless hopes
while inside we try to cope


We stare at screens
real life unseen
we look for one last trick
the one last phrase
to make things stick
to win the race

what harm we do not care
though mostly unaware
what we do is not for us
for others rarely seen
we have no purpose of our own
we are part of the machine

today I walked away
I couldn't do it anymore

today I walked away
I couldn't do it anymore

today I took my pay
I was looking at the door
In my head, I heard the line
"you won't, see me, no more"

Outside I saw the sun
and I felt that I could run
I would have laid down on the ground
Just relaxed and heard the sounds
Life was waiting to begin

[instrumental]

Music & Lyrics ‘The Mirror of Love’ by ARGYTACT 

My dearest, these are the words
I found in the silence, far from the loudest chords.
No judgment hides within these notes, only the light,
Of a love that sees you whole, stripped of all right.
I've come to know my own shadow, the darkest of parts,
And thus I dare, without fear, to lay open my heart.
I share this not to accuse, but because truth offers a path—
A freedom to love without the constant aftermath.

Through a thousand rooms of my past I once did roam,
A soul in search of worth, on unstable ground far from home.
My heart an open wound, susceptible to every pain,
The Redeemer in me watched, silent and subtle, fueled by strain.
I learned my value lay in every storm that I subdued,
And in that chaos, I knew who I was, my self-worth imbued.

For I was, my dearest, addicted to the struggle and the fray,
The adrenaline was my comfort, my constant stay.
It was the only language my formative years had taught,
A chemical yearning, for stillness and rest was sought.
I looked for external chaos, to distract from the void,
An invisible force that my life consistently employed.

And in your eyes, I found the echo of my deepest strife,
An invitation to rewrite the past, to fix my former life.
But now I see that my mission sustained your pain and fear,
My love for you made you strong enough to stand, yet kept you near.
I realize that my striving inadvertently fed the storm,
Allowing the trauma to persist, keeping your spirit warm.

My own path traversed through mist and through deep regret,
Through introspection, I learned the quiet voice to let.
And every lyric I now write is pure, honest, and plain,
The truth is the only boundary I allow to remain.
Your love is my true anchor, the melody that feeds my soul,
But the chaos, residing within, seeks to take its toll.

The mirror of my love reflects the shadow and the light,
No judgment in my eyes, only a vision clear and bright.
For true love overcomes, so profound and deeply pure,
That even the greatest dream, for peace we must endure.
I accept you, my dearest, till the very end of time,
But at the edge of chaos, I halt this inner paradigm.

And I see now, my love, why you cannot fully hear my song,
For the truth of your own sorrow is where your pain belongs.
I accept that your trauma holds you closed, keeping fear in sight,
And that you cannot grant me the listener's perfect, full light.
But I will never again permit the aggression or the lies to remain,
For my love for you must never invalidate my self-sovereign reign.

The desire for a child, a heavy burden we both bear,
But love is responsibility, and safety we must share.
I set that cherished dream aside, for the sake of our peace,
Refusing to burden your health, seeking our own release.
We are already whole, my dearest, in the love that is here,
And our worth stands complete, unmarred by this sorrowful fear.

My heart chooses you, the person whom I clearly see,
But my soul, my spirit, chooses safety and stability.
I stay, but I lay down the exhausting role of the Redeemer, forevermore.
I am your partner, not your therapist; that is the oath I now swear.
This is not fleeing the battle, but embracing the higher cause,
For in this clarity, our truest love blossoms beyond all flaws.

The mirror of my love reflects the shadow and the light,
No judgment in my eyes, only a vision clear and bright.
For true love overcomes, so profound and deeply pure,
That even the greatest dream, for peace we must endure.
I accept you, my dearest, till the very end of time,
But at the edge of chaos, I halt this inner paradigm.

Dearest, our journey continues, guided by new rules of respect and calm.
I faced my own trauma addiction; now it is time to lay down your alarm.
Your healing is your path alone, and my love will be the guiding flame,
Not to change you, but to help you find the way, far from shame.
In love, forever, with all the strength that within me dwells.
I remain, but I demand peace.

PSALMS – VOL. I: ROOTED BY THE RIVER – The Shaken Remnant

Synopsis:
Volume I walks through Psalms 1–15 as a modern song cycle, each track paraphrasing a psalm into its own fully formed song. The set moves from the rooted calm of Psalm 1 to the roar of Psalm 2, the soul and gospel of trust and rescue, through laments that wrestle with hidden enemies, doubt, and delay. Along the way it spotlights wonder at creation, the tension between corrupt voices and solid words, and the question of who can stand in God’s presence. Musically it’s a multi-genre anthology: indie folk, cinematic rock, gospel soul, neo-soul, dark pop, punk-leaning grit and modern hymn—all under The Shaken Remnant’s banner, keeping the lyrics scripture-faithful but written to live as real songs.

Lyrics by Jef and Mattheo

Stay with the sound, Ma Codie,
reste avec moi dans la nuit.
Nothing fades when the heart still hears,
même le silence retient tes pas.

And if this moment is all we keep,
je t’écrirai dans chaque note,
the world asleep, the soul awake,
là où la musique me dévore

Ma Codie…

éternelle dans la lumière qui to
Ma Codie
melody…
que je porte, même quand tout succombe. 
Tears light 
Ma Codie , 1

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.
