This is a laid back, acoustic track with harmony vocals. Beneath the quieter vibes there are some hidden edges to the lyrics which focus on maintaining your identity in the age of social media. Written for my daughters. If you are interested in licensing any lyrics, get in touch. Lyrics for this one are: 

Stop with the filtration 
Stop with the curation 
Stop all this rose tint lens
And the good time friends

Cut out the whitening 
Tone down the brightening 
Cut out the light ring
And the bling, bling, bling 

Turn off the cheap shots
Turn off the chat bots
Turn down the non-stop,
What’s hot, jack pots

Too much blah, blah, blah
So much nah, nah, nah
Bit much ooh, la, la
And the uh, uh, ah

No more buying all the glam 
I’m not falling for the same old scam
You don’t 
Make me
Who l am
Who I am
Who I am 

Enough with the click bait 
Enough of the deep fakes
Enough with the high stakes
And the toxic hate

Stop with the gaslight
Stop with the late night
Stop with this half life
All out of sight 

I see clearly through the sham 
No more falling for the same old scam
You don’t 
Make me 
Who I am
Who l am
Who I am

Start with the human touch 
Start with the positive
Starting to rise above
With the simple love

Bring up community
Bring up the listening
Bring on humility 
And some honesty 

I see clearly through the sham 
No more falling for the same old scam
You don’t 
Make me 
Who I am
Who l am
Who I am

Who I am (you don’t make me)

Alt pop / rock song about flying on a magic carpet.

I was kicking up the sand in a crowded town, I never knew anyone
I took a plane from Iraq and I ended up right here, in I don't know where
A man with no shoes stepped in front of me
He wouldn't let me go
He pulled a rolled-up rug from under his arm
Said it's a gift for you my Western friend

"It's a special kind of rug that'll take you to the sky"

All we need is magic for a magic carpet
We can fly together on our magic carpet
It's a sky-high party flying on a carpet
We just wanna party riding on a carpet

See the carpet float across the desert sand, a hundred people were cheering
Excitement quickly developed to a carnival air, soon everyone was there
I felt a little lonely being here by myself, I couldn't fly this alone
'Sir we wanna fly too, can we climb on with you?"
Yeah yeah yeah we can fly anywhere!

We're getting down on a carpet in the sky 

All we need is magic for a magic carpet
We can fly together on our magic carpet
It's a sky-high party flying on a carpet
We just wanna party riding on a carpet

Fly fly fly it's a magical ride
Fly fly fly with the birds in the sky
Fly fly fly see the stars up high
We wanna fly fly fly fly fly fly high

The warm breeze of the Summer
The bright blue sky
This carpet's got a rhythm
Feel the groove inside
See the people down below watch our magic carpet fly

We're getting down on a carpet in the sky

Riding a magic carpet through the desert sky
What a mystical feeling
I was a stranger on the ground but I've got new friends with me
Just dancing and living our best life
Our western eyes could never see that eastern minds can set you free
This feeling is cleansing my soul
If you feel a little blue this will make you feel cool
Do you wanna fly with the Sultans in the sky?

We're getting down on a carpet in the sky

All we need is magic for a magic carpet
We can fly together on our magic carpet
It's a sky-high party flying on a carpet
We just wanna party riding on a carpet

All we need is magic for a magic carpet
We can fly together on our magic carpet
It's a sky-high party flying on a carpet
We just wanna party riding on a carpet 

Oi! What you kids doing with my flaming rug?

This Morning [05.05.25]

This song is about the struggle to find happiness. It came out of a time when I was really struggling to stay hopeful. A time when I felt heavy, stuck, and unsure how to move forward.

Writing “Drowning” helped me realize and deal with those feelings - and start fighting to come up for air.

It’s not really a song about giving up. It’s about realizing how easy it is to slip under... and how important it is to have something, or someone, that pulls you back up.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re barely holding it together, this is for you.

Thanks for listening.

Done With This Fight

My new piece based on a theme that surfaced when I was writting my resigned and dark Intermezzo, which in contrast, turned out to be one of the brighest and joyfull of my creations, very lively and bursting with vitality, almost reminding me of a spring flower that ascended from a damp graveyard.
This piece was probably the one I've written in the shortest amount of time,  majority of it written in a mere several hours.

Moment Musicaux for Piano, F Major, No. 2

See Through Me
I’ve been through nights so long they felt like whole lifetimes. The kind where silence presses against your chest and the dark makes you feel like you’re the only person left in the world. I thought I’d learned to live with it. I thought I had to.
Then there was you. You saw straight through the version of me I’d built to survive. You didn’t flinch at the cracks — you traced them like they were part of the design. I didn’t know it was possible to feel seen and safe at the same time.
I don’t pretend this will last forever. Nothing ever does. But maybe that’s why every moment with you feels heavy and light all at once — like I’m holding something too precious to set down, even for a second. If this is only now, then I’ll take now over nothing. I’ll take every second you’ll give me.
I want you to know that I’ve been through hell, and you’ve been the first person to make me believe I wasn’t supposed to stay there. You’ve been the light in nights I thought would never end. And if all I have is this moment, I’ll still give you everything.

SEE THROUGH ME

Take 3

Jay Olivine is Ziggy Stardust’s fourth favourite lyricist in Northeast Brisbane. 

He is a hitless wonder who scratches out demos in a dark booth beneath his kitchen. 

Sometimes he adds distortion to cover the snores of his dog. Sometimes he gets away with an acoustic number. 

His dream (not his dog’s dream) would be to license his lyrics to someone who would take them somewhere beautiful. He keeps dreaming. 

Olivine is a common green rock. Jay Olivine is not.
