This song is about the space between performer and audience. And about the spaces between all of us.

-----------------------------

Here I am on the stage tonight
Trying to make them laugh
Like a priest in the darkness 
Trying to keep my faith

Oh, help me, Jesus
The faraway eyes

Words that fail to reach
As thin as the air
Faith is not thunder
I wonder if they care

I’m standing on the edge tonight
Staring into the void
Waiting for the whisper 
To find me as I stand

Oh, help me, Jesus
Will one heart be moved?

Outside, the wind rattles 
The glass in its frame
It beats me every time I
Try to play the game
I try to play the game

The dust floats through the spotlight
And settles on red velvet
I tried to write the perfect line
One you will adore
You’ll cry for more
Or have you heard this one before?

I shape my words into 
Little wooden boats
I push them out to sea
They sink without a trace

Oh, help me, Jesus
The bodies in the chairs

They put their hands together
To signify my worth
Or is it just the sound of rain
Against the hollow earth?

Or is it just the sound of rain
Against the hollow earth?

On The Stage

IPG 1 is one of my favorite artists on soundcloud. He offered  in an open collab his lyrics and vocals.

I made the music and added vocals, samples and did the production.
“Sometimes life brings us to the edge — where the body is exhausted, the heart carries old wounds, and hope feels out of reach.”

And than the wonderfull lyrics and hip hop voice ever thx Ian
Living On The Edge

(Verse 1)
Living on the edge, where the city never sleeps
Hustling in the streets where the hunger runs deep
Concrete jungle a playground for the brave
All the hustle and grind-find the strength that you crave

(Chorus)
On the edge of a dreams where -the hustle is the game
Life's a gamble but we rise all the same
In the shadows we dance walk that narrow ledge
Gotta stay sharp -like a razor’s edge
that’s the hustlers pledge the hustlers pledge

(Verse 2)
In the Streets that’s the canvas,-where we paint our tale
From the struggle we rise like a phoenix we prevail
Hustling hard like a lion without fail
Every move strategic in this urban maze.
Doing your best just to avoid going to jail
Time is money and money pays
You can count your riches never your days

(Chorus)

(Bridge)
Clock's ticking but the hustle just don't rest
Every challenge faced just to put you to the test
Living on the edge it's a risky ride
In the hustle we trust let the dreams collide

(Verse 3)
Concrete ambitions rising like the skyline
From the streets to the penthouse we make our climb
Living on the edge with a heart of a lion
In the hustle we trust time is money money is time

Living on the Edge-hope is out of reach (collab IPG1)

Remix and re-invention of an earlier track from many years ago. Messier 83 (see the image), also known as the Southern Pinwheel Galaxy, contains structures within structures. The images are stunning. This track has interlocking aspects, hence the title.

The Ferns of M83

Big Chorus, big ending, nice bits in the verses. What else is there to say? Enjoy...

Our Time

give up the lie

A new song for immigrants in all countries......  "I was a stranger and you welcomed me," in the Parable of the Sheep and the Goats (Matthew 25:35)

Lyrics:

Welcome the stranger
From immigrant lands
Seeking freedom from oppression 
In this land of dreams and opportunities 
Do you remember that time?

Welcome the stranger
Who does not look like you
But on the inside, we’re all just the same
Breathing and existing searching for a cause
That they can believe in

Welcome the stranger
Looking for a new home
To call their own
Complete with family and friends 
And of course, some children too

Welcome the stranger
With a language they call their own
Beautiful in every word 
They speak of their dreams 
In this strange but free land which once was

Welcome the stranger 
For they are in need
Of your compassion and understanding 
As they try to navigate 
In this land now filled with hate and anger

FUNNY DAYS FUNNY WAYS
PERDU DANS LE PURPLE HAZE
DANS LA VALLÉE DES SYCOMORES
UN PARADIS ARTIFICIEL
A L’AUTRE BOUT DE L’ARC EN CIEL
ET TANT ET TANT DE TEMPS DEVANT
QU’ON EN VOIT PAS VRAIMENT LA FIN

FUNNY DAYS FUNNY WAYS
PERDU DANS LES CHAMPS DE FRAISES
DANS LES BRUMES DU NEVERMORE

UN PARADIS CONSENSUEL
PEUPLÉ DE FORMES SENSUELLES
AVANT D’ALLER SE FAIRE AVOIR DE L’AUTRE CÔTÉ DU MIROIR

FUNNY DAYS FUNNY WAYS
JUSTE FILER À L’ANGLAISE
ET RESSUSCITER LE MATAMORE

FUNNY DAYS FUNNY WAYS
YELLOW SUNSHINE PURPLE HAZE
ET NO FUTUR DANS L’ANGLE MORT

FUNNY DAYS (Lyrics + notes)

Journey To Phobos (432Hz)

Lost in the Shadows

It will get easier I guess
I get the questions but fail the test
It will get easier I guess
Just give it time
But I'm not feeling fine

I see your name in someone else's frame
The words that I want next to my name
No-one would guess that I'm in pain
What's that about?
I want to shout our love out

I have a true love
That nobody knows
The pain of the secret clearly shows
I want to call out her name in the air
It matters to me whether anyone else cares

It will get easier I guess
But in my mind I'm just a mess
It will get easier I guess
I shouldn't care
Just so long as you are here

It will get easier with time
It's just that I'm proud that you are mine
It will get easier with time
If people see
That I'm down on one knee

I have a true love
That nobody knows
Does it really matter I suppose?
But if I died tomorrow the memories are just ours
And I want to talk of our love for hours
And I'm denied

It Will Get Easier I Guess
