Lonely Day Lullaby

The writing was on the wall, it was there for all to see
I saw it and kept  walkin, didn't think the wall was  talkin to me 
Fallin for you was a bad idea, I knew it from the start
But there's no  talkin  sense, to a mind made up 
or a crazy reckless heart      
 
That boy tried his best, to keep me in that pew 
Just like any good southern Christian boy would do 
As the choir finished "Amazing Grace" 
I whispered baby, let's get out of this place

Let's head on out to the Tugaloo River, skinny dippin till you shiver
where the weeping willows are slowly swaying
boy, I’m  gonna take you to heaven 
if you know what I'm sayin ...
 
It’s a bad idea, to leave the scene of a crime
Getting busted if you can’t do the time
It's a bad idea,  mixin oil and water 
A preacher man's son and a  hell raiser's daughter
a bad idea, never ends well
come on- you know, you know
those are the best stories...to tell 
 
 
Headed out of this tiny little town 
we have the music turned up and the windows rolled down 
just rolling away, from the gossip and stares, 
he says where  ya wanna go?, I said anywhere

Sipping Crown from Grandpa's old silver flask
If we run out, we got more in the back 
Trackin an old memory
It's the only thing, my Grandpa ever gave to me


"Kick it in the Sticks " starts ba -ba-bumpin on the radio 
He winks and says “ you like that  cut” 
I said  hell  yeah baby!  crank it up 
He looks at me and cracks a slow smile
and says there's somethin beautiful 
about somethin' so wild. 
 
I'm rockin the seat and rockin' your world
I'm just happy being your girl, 
taking the back roads,  hittin the gas
not sure if we're running from yours or my past
Baby let's go, Baby lets go 
Forbidden love, is the wildest ride
but everybody knows it burns out in time


I said Baby, you're never gonna tame this wild heart, 
so stop where you are, don't even start 
He says, I ain’t Jesus , But I'm gonna save you 
I said, I don't need  savin, I just need you 
he said , you already have me stealin your kiss
I'll probably go to hell for this 
 
They say you make your bed, you gotta lay in it 
that don't mean you gotta, stay in it 
sometimes the music ends, and  you gotta move on, 
no matter how much, you loved that song
sometimes things, just are what they are 
whatcha gonna do ? 
I look into your beautiful eyes and see you know it too 

Tears are washing the stars from my eyes 
like a windshield wiper
We danced the dance , gotta pay the piper
it ain't what it ain't and it is what it is 
I'll always feel your kiss on my lips
but there ain't no way to run from this 

Staring out the kitchen window, into the front yard
shaking my head,  holdin back tears , 
never thought this would be so hard 
You, leanin  up against your truck, hands in your front pockets
You hear the train  comin
You know that you can’t stop it 
cussin at the wind, kickin at the dirt 
ain’t no use pretending, like none of  this don't hurt

Bad Idea

Billie Eilish's song "What was i made for" Darkified!
Vocals by Astrid Solvrid

Lyrics:
I used to float, now I just fall down
I used to know, but I'm not sure now
What I was made for
What was I made for?

Takin' a drive, I was an ideal
Looked so alive, turns out I'm not real
Just somethin' you paid for
What was I made for?

'Cause I, I
I don't know how to feel
But I wanna try
I don't know how to feel
But someday, I might
Someday, I might

Mm, mm, ah
Mm, mm, mm

When did it end? All the enjoyment
I'm sad again, don't tell my boyfriend
It's not what he's made for
What was I made for?

'Cause I, 'cause I
I don't know how to feel
But I wanna try
I don't know how to feel
But someday, I might
Someday, I might

Think I forgot how to be happy
Somethin' I'm not, but somethin' I can be
Somethin' I wait for
Somethin' I'm made for
Somethin' I'm made for

I Used To Float 2024

Blake Hollow - (2025) No Saint - X - A Secret Song for You (feat Demetrius Sage) [S01]

[Verse]
The sand is cool beneath our toes tonight
The moon's a silver lantern in the sky's light
Your laughter dances with the ocean's sigh
The stars are jealous but they'll never try

[Chorus]
To shine like this moment with you alone
The waves hum a tune I've never known
Our hearts beat steady with the ocean's tone
On this summer night where love has grown

[Verse 2]
You trace the water with your careful stride
The tide retreats just to hold you inside
The breeze whispers secrets that it can't confide
Yet here we are with nothing left to hide

[Chorus]
To shine like this moment with you alone
The waves hum a tune I've never known
Our hearts beat steady with the ocean's tone
On this summer night where love has grown

[Bridge]
The moon leans close as it watches us sway
The world slows down wanting us to stay
Salt and sand are the promises we lay
But the dawn will steal this night away

[Chorus]
To shine like this moment with you alone
The waves hum a tune I've never known
Our hearts beat steady with the ocean's tone
On this summer night where love has grown

A TREASURE AND A HANDFUL by NOVA J

I’ll never forget when we met
Told you not to take me seriously
Isn’t that sad?
Now here we are, we’ve come so far
Still together after all this time
And I’m so glad

I had a lot of healing to do
I was in pieces, you were the glue

You saw what nobody else could see
Beyond my broken personality
You gave me all your love for free
You saw the hidden treasure in me

I’m a treasure and a handful
Poison pleasure, it was painful
But you never called me shameful
You’re a treasure and a handful

High beams in a taxi cab
Scanning sidewalks for someone to grab
Me and a stranger sharing a room
Fighting off the impending doom
But you found me there
No judgment, just care

All the others held a grudge
But you never held back love

You saw what nobody else could see
Beyond my broken personality
You gave me all your love for free
You saw the hidden treasure in me

I’m a treasure and a handful
Poison pleasure, it was painful
But you never called me shameful
You’re a treasure and a handful

Oh, the world is breaking, creating
Oh, the tides are rising, cascading
Oh, the earth is shaking, rearranging
But through it all, you’re the one I call

Helping break my fall
Standing strong and tall

You saw what nobody else could see
Beyond my broken personality
You gave me all your love for free
You saw the hidden treasure in me

I’m a treasure and a handful
Poison pleasure, it was painful
But you never called me shameful
You’re a treasure and a handful

A TREASURE AND A HANDFUL

We wait and see how it goes by Nova J

(Ooh-ooh, ahhh, ahhh, ahhh)

How do kids connect these days?
When screens are always in the way?
What’s the point of outdoor play
When you swipe the sun away?

Glad I grew up without the net
Millennial child with some regrets 
I was young n’ dumb without SnapChat
Nude selfies, there was none of that!

(Ooh-ooh, la-la, ohhh)
We wait and see how it goes
(Ooh-ooh, la-la, ohhh)
Soak up the sun, roll down the windows 
(Ooh-ooh, la-la, ohhh)
You never really know
(Ooh-ooh, la-la, ohhh)
So we wait and see how it goes

Library cards and DVDs
Monty Python, midnight cheese
Pizza’s hot, ice cream pops
Two-for-one at the local shop

Nostalgia, yes. I messed up too.
When it comes to regrets I’ve paid my dues.
Demons came, I shared my room
20 years of impending doom

(Ooh-ooh, la-la, ohhh)
We wait and see how it goes
(Ooh-ooh, la-la, ohhh)
Chasing highs, crashing lows
(Ooh-ooh, la-la, ohhh)
You never really know
(Ooh-ooh, la-la, ohhh)
So we wait and see how it goes

I used to stay up high all nights 
Now I sleep and wake up nice
Used to play with thieves and tricks
Now I crave my baby’s kiss

I’ve been a mess, I’ve played the fool
But all my scars became my tools
Every failure, every mistake
Built the life I have today

(Oh today)
Today is a gift 
(Oh today)
That’s why they call it
(Oh today)
The present 
I live in the now
(Oh today)
Oh, who knows what tomorrow will bring?
(Oh today)
But today it’s time to sing!

(Laaaa la la laaaaa la la laaaa la la laaaa la la laaaa la la laaaaa Laaaa la la laaaaa la la laaaa la la laaaa la la laaaa la la laaaaa
Laaaa la la laaaaa la la laaaa la la laaaa la la laaaa la la laaaaa)

I built a home
(Don’t wanna burn it down)
I found some peace
(Don’t wanna lose it now)
I rebuilt me
(Don’t wanna fade away)
So I keep trying today
(Yeah, I keep trying today)

(Ooh-ooh, la-la, ohhh)
We wait and see how it goes
(Ooh-ooh, la-la, ohhh)
Yeah, we wait and see how it goes
(Ooh-ooh, la-la, ohhh)
You never really know
(Ooh-ooh, la-la, ohhh)
So we wait and see how it goes
(Ooh-ooh, la-la, ohhh)
We wait and see how it goes
(Ooh-ooh, la-la, ohhh)
Yeah, we wait and see how it goes

We wait and see how it goes

🌿 A soft voice for the ones who go unnoticed.
Not everyone gets thanked. Not everyone gets seen.
But this piece is for the servers, the caregivers, the quiet givers,
the ones holding everything together without asking for credit.
If that’s you… this is your thank you. 💸💚
You matter more than they say.
And someone out there does see you.

#ThankYouForShowingUp #EverydayGrace #InvisibleKindness #QuietStrength #SpokenWordHealing #HumanMoments #SmallActsBigHeart #SpokenTruth #EmpathyInMotion #YouMatter #GentleSongs #TipTheOnesWhoHoldUs

****Lyrics****

If no one’s said it lately…
I see you.
I hear you.
You matter.

You move through days like background noise,
Helping, holding, holding back,
Brushing crumbs from someone else’s table
Just to feel like you still belong at one.

You’ve learned to shrink in public,
Speak softly, smile quickly,
Nod instead of shout.
You’ve spent so long being strong,
You forgot what it feels like
To be held.

You are not invisible to me.
I see the kindness in your tired hands,
The effort behind your half-smiles.
I see the way you show up anyway,
Even when you’re unraveling.

You apologize for existing
Like it’s a crime to feel.
But I’d rather hear your truth
Than another silence performed as survival.

The world overlooks the steady ones.
It rewards the loud, the fast, the sure.
But you,
You are a quiet kind of brave.
You’ve been carrying things
No one even knows exist.
And you do it
Without applause.

Some nights, you wonder if anyone sees you.
If anyone could.
You’ve been so small for so long,
You’re not sure what it means to take up space.
So let me say it, clearly

You are not too much.
You are not a burden.
You are not forgettable.
You are not alone.

If all you did today was survive,
That’s enough.
If no one thanked you,
Let me be the first.
You are seen.
You are real.
You are worthy.
And I’m with you.

For the Ones Who Feel Invisible

A haunting exploration of memory, loss, and the eternal echo of love that transcends time. This atmospheric piece weaves together delicate piano melodies, sweeping strings, and intimate vocals to create a sonic landscape where grief transforms into gentle acceptance.

The song speaks to the universal experience of carrying someone's memory through simply speaking their name. It suggests that while time may separate us from those we've lost, their essence lives on in the very syllables we once spoke with love.

Inspired by a poem of Alexander Pushkin

Say my name in silence

Dedicated to my Dad, who by example, was always "showing me the ropes".  He said if you want something... go get it. No one is going to hand it to you.  I miss you Dad...thank you for all you taught me. 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


[Verse]
The current pulls me far and wide
No anchor to hold me down
But I don't mind
What I can't yet see
The ocean whispers
come explore the deep with me

[Verse]
Under the glow of the
 disco ball moon
The waves dance
They call my name
They say, luv take a chance
On life's great unknowns
I said, Okay...
The Great Unknown 
Is where I'll stake my claim

[Chorus]
How can I be lost, when I feel so free?
I cast-away all the things, I don't wanna be 
I'll go wherever the compass leads
Just like my Daddy did, when he sailed the 7 seas, before me 

He told me
my sails were always rigged for chasing dreams
my sails were always rigged for chasing dreams

( chasing, chasing, chasing dreams ) 
( chasing, chasing, chasing dreams ) 

[Bridge]
Sometimes the bitter cold, sea winds blow 
How I'll survive, I really don't know
 my blue skies, turn inky black from angry storms
when my hull is tossed and battered
and all my sails are ripped and torn 

[Bridge]
But I survived 
Why is it, that's when I feel the most alive???
I feel alive !

My sea legs are steady
I raise mended sails with my bare hands  
I have known since
I was a little girl 
my feet were never meant for sand
They were never meant for sand

[Chorus]
How can I be lost, when I feel so free?
I cast away all the things, I don't wanna be 
I'll go wherever the compass leads
Just like my Daddy did, when he sailed the 7 seas, before me

He told me 

my sails were always rigged for chasing dreams
my sails were always rigged for chasing dreams

( chasing, chasing, chasing dreams ) 
( chasing, chasing, chasing dreams ) 

The current pulls me far and wide
No anchor to hold me down
But I don't mind

because I know what it means ...
 I'll always be chasing dreams

RIGGED

[Verse 1]
Pages turned, but ink keeps bleeding,
stories etched in fingerprints.
Every silence has a meaning,
I taste the past on my lips.

[Chorus 1]
What remains when the fire forgets?
Only embers that never decay.
I keep holding smoke in my hands,
from the ashes of yesterday.

[Verse 2]
Photographs dissolve to static,
faces blur, but eyes still stay.
Every promise feels elastic,
stretching thin, then fading away.

[Chorus 2]
What survives when the night moves on?
Only whispers the daylight betrays.
I keep building worlds out of dust,
from the ashes of yesterday.

[Bridge]
Maybe time is just a thief in disguise,
stealing light, leaving echoes behind.
I can’t tell if I’m chasing ghosts,
or if they’re the ones chasing me tonight.

[Final Chorus]
What remains when the heart won’t heal?
Only shadows that won’t fade away.
Still I cradle the silence I chose,
and the ashes of yesterday.

Ashes… of yesterday…
Still burning, still burning…

Still burning...
Still... I'm burning!

Ashes of Yesterday

I'm a guitarist, a composer and a digital artist. Open your mind, my music tells stories.
