A Ballad of Scottish Banter

Masterpiece of Heartbreak.mp3

Lyrics By: Paulo Sergio Carvalho

[Verse 1]
As I think back on my life,
The days with you cut like a knife.
We laughed, we danced, we had it all,
But now I'm left to watch it fall.

[Verse 2]
We had it good for so long,
How did it all turn so wrong?
What changed in me, what did I do,
That made you leave, that lost us too?

[Chorus]
Now I walk where we once stood,
Lost inside the way I should.
The love we swore would never fade,
Gone like whispers in the rain.

[Verse 3]
I see your face in every place,
Feel your touch I can’t erase.
If I could turn back just one night,
Would you stay, would it be right?

[Bridge]
Tell me, do you miss me too?
Or did you find someone new?
I was blind, now I can see,
But love is lost, it won’t come free.

[Final Chorus]
Now I walk where we once stood,
Lost inside the way I should.
The love we swore would never fade,
Fell apart and slipped away.

[Outro]
If fate is cruel and won’t rewind,
Then I must leave it all behind.
But every night, I say your name,
And wonder if you do the same.

[Final Verse]
I should have held you, should have stayed,
Should've fought the storms we made.
Now I stand where love once grew,
Knowing I have lost you too.

Whispers in the Rain

Jackmeet is a searing Canadian folk rock anthem that confronts the fall of a once-promising political figure who betrayed the spirit of the NDP. 

With haunting verses and a thunderous chorus, the song mourns the death of a political dream and channels the voice of a disillusioned nation. 

Echoing the legacy of Jack Layton, it pulls no punches — naming the betrayal, mourning the fallout, and etching a legacy of loss. It’s a raw, emotional reckoning with power, loyalty, and the cost of forgetting who you serve.

An A.I. of my original country song. 

It's Easy Doing Country (when your wife's not at home)

Lyrics

Now a man started a country song,
And sang it out all strong,
And he played it at the honky-tonks,
And he hummed it all night long,
But nine months later,
His song became undone,
When someone knocked at his door
And handed him a son.

Oh, it was easy (for him) to do country,
And sing it for all to hear,
Then forget all about it,
And keep it in arrears,
But the woman he’d composed with,
wouldn’t let it disappear.
And she added a boy to his chorus,
And that at sixty years!

And she told him flat out:
I really wanted to love you,
Until I found it was a sham
Your country song went out of tune
When I found you were a married man.
You made me think you were solo,
When your duet was at home,
So good luck at being trio,
You, your wife, and son.

Oh, a man started a country song,
And sang it out all strong,
Until he got a baby boy,
And the tune went out all wrong,
Then the whole town got involved,
And sung the parts unsung.
And his wife joined the chorus
And even brought her gun.

It’s easy doing country
When your wife’s not a home
Going down to the honky-tonks
Pretending to be alone
But nine months later
When presented with a son
It’s really hard explaining
 exactly what you’ve done.

[Verse 1]
You said forever with a trembling smile
But forever only lasted just a little while
I built a world on every word you said
Now I lie alone in an empty bed

[Pre-Chorus]
I saw the signs, I heard the doubt
But I tried to keep the dream alive somehow
Told myself lies just to make it through
'Cause love even makes the wise forget what's true

[Chorus]
Only a fool believes
That hearts don't change, that lovers never leave
That promises are made to never break
That every risk is worth the pain it takes
I gave my all, but it wasn't enough
Held on to shadows, called it love
Now I see
Only a fool believes

[Verse 2]
I watched you slipping, inch by inch
But hope can be a deadly itch
I closed my eyes to all the cracks
And painted gold where it all turned black

[Pre-Chorus]
I chased the ghost of who we were
Thinking time alone could heal the hurt
But silence speaks when words are gone
And love won’t stay where it don’t belong

[Chorus]
Only a fool believes
That hearts don't change, that lovers never leave
That promises are made to never break
That every risk is worth the pain it takes
I gave my all, but it wasn't enough
Held on to shadows, called it love
Now I see
Only a fool believes

[Bridge]
There's wisdom in the wounds we wear
And peace in knowing you once cared
But truth cuts deeper than goodbye
When you’re the only one who lived the lie

[Final Chorus]
Only a fool believes
In fairy tales and sweet make-believes
That you could stay when you were already gone
That love alone could right the wrong
I gave my heart, you walked away
And left me with the price to pay
Now I see
Only a fool…
Only a fool believes
Only a fool believes

[Outro]
Yeah
Only A Fool Believes
Yeah
Only A Fool Believes

ONLY A FOOL BELIEVES
