Description: One of my older songs I rediscovered. Although my vocals are affected by my infection, I still enjoyed recording it quickly to put out. Hope you enjoy 😊

love the song. I do so agree with your words, about leaving your music behind means I leave a voice that can always be heard.

Listening to Saku by Susumu Yokota at Gors Fawr in Pembrokeshire led me to this.

Life ain’t easy

RABBIT HOLES by NOVA J

I know it’s an unhealthy obsession
Afraid of things that haven’t happened
I’ve never been this happy in my whole life
May I introduce… my sappy crazy side

(Down I go — down I go)
Into rabbit holes
In my head
I picture the end
(Down I go — down I go)
Into rabbit holes

I try
To live my life
But I love you too much
(Not to worry)
I pray
That you will stay
But I love you too much
(Not to worry)

I know I have a tendency to overanalyze
Decode the mystery behind your amber eyes
You say you’re not the type to leave
But that’s what the last one said to me

(Down I go — down I go)
Into rabbit holes
Every look
I read like a book
(Down I go — down I go)
Into rabbit holes

I try
To live my life
But I love you too much
(Not to worry)
I pray
That you will stay
But I love you too much
(Not to worry)

Tell me it’s safe
Tell me it’s real
Don’t make me hurt
Help me to heal
Is this a trap?
Is this a test?
Are you a rat…
Just like the rest?

I try
To live my life
But I love you too much
(Not to worry)
I breathe
I believe
But I love you too much
(Not to worry)

(Down I go — into rabbit holes)
In my head
I picture the end
(Down I go — into rabbit holes)
Every look
I read like a book

This song was written by Billy Goodman, and it is our first Vocal collaboration. Performed as a live track.. It is a thrill and honor for me to work with this insanely talented guy, and I fell in love with the song the moment I heard it. Beautifully crafted lyrics and melody, it was a joy to add piano, cello and vocals to this gorgeous song. Thank you for allowing me to tag along on this awesome ride Billy!! Here's to many more.

Makes Me Wanna Cry

(Verse)
All the things I see, should I be afraid 
It's never safe to love someone, what became of the plans I made
Just a tired cliche like thoughts and prayers
When a dignified silence is the only thing we ever shared

(Chorus) 
Oh It makes me wanna cry
I've turned away and lost touch with the sky
I can hear the voices carried on the wind
Just waiting for the silence to begin
It makes me, makes me wanna cry…

(Verse)
I hate where my thoughts go they take me to the pain
We always stayed in character even when we were to blame
Love and things that meant the world just vanished away
I found refuge in your heart but I couldn't stay

(Chorus) 
Oh It makes me wanna cry
I've turned away and lost touch with the sky
I can hear the voices carried on the wind
Just waiting for the silence to begin
It makes me, makes me wanna cry…

(Bridge)

Dead inside this echo chamber and it feels so much like home
Not a soul can touch me here but I don't believe I'm really all alone
The sun won't rise and the sun won't set but I'm nestled in this soft shade of grey
As the following sea surrounds me and slowly washes everything away

(Chorus) 
Oh It makes me wanna cry
I've turned away and lost touch with the sky
I can hear the voices carried on the wind
Just waiting for the silence to begin
It makes me, makes me wanna cry…

I had the privilege to have a few brief encounters over the years with the great poet, educator and activist Nikki Giovanni. She passed away last December. If interested there are many videos on YouTube about her. 

“Mothers” passage sung by Joliz going into the break, Copyright © 1972 by Nikki Giovanni.

I saw Nikki Giovanni outside the A train
She was reading a book by Baldwin and whispering the quotes
She had that Harlem quiet
The kind that makes you feel loud, even if you haven’t said a word all day
She looked up at me once
Like she already knew the next ten things I would say
And of course none of that mattered

She wrote poems like switchblades
And carved song verses on subway tiles
With truth tucked in the chorus
Love poems for the revolution and letters to the dead
All written in lipstick and ink
Some folks talk about hope
She talked about survival
Anyone knows there's a difference

“I see the moon
The moon sees me
God bless the moon
And god bless me”

I asked her once, I said Nikki, do you still believe in change
She half smiled and said, “Man, I believe in kids, I believe in rage,
I believe in writing it down so they don’t forget our names.”
“You either speak up or get buried under someone else's story.”
Then she walked into that bookstore on 125th like it was a church 
In a way I guess it was a church

I ran into her much later at a reading downtown
Tiny room, bad mic, nobody listening but the ghosts
She read a line about her grandmother’s hands
The room went quiet like it finally remembered what hands are for
The words, not angry, not loud, but like a bullet that only hits the guilty
Truth is a loaded pistol

But Nikki
She’s in the cracks
She’s in the ink smudge
The subway echo
The line you wake up hearing but don’t remember writing
Nikki
She’s still walking this city
Just quiet enough to make the truth sound loud

TITLE: The Final Quake
_____________________________________________________________
LYRICS:

(Verse 1)
The ground is tired it sighs at last
No more futures no more past
A jagged line splits open wide
Swallowing whispers nowhere to hide

(Pre-chorus)
Ashes fall like broken rain
Memories crumble into pain

(Chorus)
The earth shakes the sky screams
The end of all the fractured dreams
One last tremor one last breath
We dance on the edge of death

(Verse 2)
The trees collapse the rivers boil
No use running no more toil
The stars above blink and fade
Shadows stretch where hope decayed

(Pre-chorus)
The winds howl like a beast set free
A requiem for eternity

(Chorus)
The earth shakes the sky screams
The end of all the fractured dreams
One last tremor one last breath
We dance on the edge of death

(Outro)
Riots laid to rest in the kiss of death. Can't sleep anymore because the ground is split from shore to shore. Reality has wiped away religion, myths & speculative folklore. Now there's just gore.

We all do things for the reason of our own beliefs. By leaving my music behind means I leave a voice that can always be heard.
I hope you enjoy my songs 😊
