What you can listen here on soundcloud  is a very low-fi first draft, often made in a  creative rush in my basement, a home recording studio called The Lighthouse Keeper. I used to play all instruments and vox except drums and my main goal now is to fully understand how Logic Pro X works. It's a fascinating, time consuming and therefore addictive piece of software. More to come.

After Dark

Save My Soul

The song "Disappear in You" explores themes of longing, loss, and emotional connection. It paints a picture of someone searching for traces of a past love, haunted by memories and the absence of the person they once held close. The lyrics delve into the emotional weight of separation, the bittersweet desire to merge completely with the other, and the lingering echoes of a love that remains unresolved. Through its melancholic tone and vivid imagery, the song conveys a deep yearning to dissolve into the memory of someone and escape the ache of their absence.



Disappear in You

wake up in the morning with the sun
light shines upon night is done
birds singing come on everyone
today the dream has only just begun

the song of the birds and the leaves
stirring something inside of me
the voice of nature and of spirit
sing to the world and everyone in it

oh música canta seu axé
oh música em dentro de você

comes the sunset comes to everyone
reflecting on the silver ocean
endless stars across a southern sky
spirit soar up as we fly

oh música canta seu axé
oh música em dentro de você

meu coração abrindo esta flor
meu coração saravá aué

Best Guess

Upon a Spark

Chasing Dreams

Coffee Time

I lost my wheels, I lost my pay.
Home is just a memory now.
My wife's left, turned her back on me.
I'm left with all this slack.

[Verse 2]
Streetlights singing lullabies.
Junkies now my alibis.
People with mental health issues 
are sharing their green pills
The city's heart beats so dead.

[Chorus]
Under the porch where I lay.
Dreams fade in the night.
Holding onto the grey.
Hoping for a spark of light.

[Verse 3]
Emergency hospital ain't no fate.
The tent is too small for us
The sky's the limit.
In this life, I've woken up.

Verse 4
Concrete pillow by my side.
Lonely heart, no place to hide
Cold winds blow but I stand still.
No need now for fentanyl

OUTRO
Whispers of a better day.
Waiting for dawn to find the way.
Even shadows have their call
I'm sure one day a door might just swing.
Bring back the man who'll be king

Mind the Gap       Lyrics in description

A Full Moon and the Dragon .mp3

The Darien jungle is a dangerous place for migrants looking for a better life. It's a narrow path from Colombia to Panama with no road. There are jaguars, pythons, and crocodiles, not to mention drug traffickers, humidity and mosquitoes

Darien Gap. Lyrics in the comments

Sometimes, you married a phantom



[Verse]
She’s gone before the morning light
Chasing dreams in frames so tight
I make the bed I brew the tea
While her bright world spins far from me

[Verse 2]
Her laughter echoes in my mind
A fleeting star I’ll never bind
She’s a comet racing through the night
And I’m her ground I hold her flight

[Chorus]
I’m married to the girl who’s never still
Her heart’s a map her soul’s a thrill
Through all her highs through every whirl
I’m married to the girl who shapes the world

[Bridge]
She wears the moon like it’s her crown
Lights up the town then melts it down
She’s the summer breeze I cannot hold
A story written brave and bold

[Verse 3]
The house stays quiet while she roams
It’s filled with echoes when she phones
But I know love’s not tied to place
It’s tethered in the softest space

[Chorus]
I’m married to the girl who loves to run
Her spirit burns just like the sun
And even when she’s oceans away
My heart is where she’ll always stay

The Girl in the Frame.    vox : Suzie Van der Meulen  Lyrics in description

Verse 1)
On a bench that’s seen better days,
Cracked wood and city haze.
People pass like streams of thought,
In outfits carefully—or carelessly—bought.
That guy wears pressure like a suit,
That girl, a storm in leather boots.
I watch them drift, not one looks back,
I blend into the sidewalk cracks.

(Verse 2)
I make up stories just for fun,
Where they work, who they might run from.
One’s an actor, faking fame,
One’s in love but won’t say the name.
No one notices the man in grey,
They scroll, they shout, they walk away.
Then a dog appears, tongue out, half wild—
The only one who sees the child.

(Chorus)
I’m the stillness in their race,
A quiet thought they can’t replace.
Not lost, not loud, not one of them,
I write in air what they condemn.
The world walks on, a tidal wave—
But I won’t beg and I won’t cave.
Just a bark, a smile, a seagull’s curse—
In this small scene, it could be worse.

(Bridge)
I laugh beneath the smear of white,
Like fate just had to dim my light.
The dog wags on with hungry grace,
The only welcome on this face.
He doesn’t care what I have done,
He just wants half of sandwich one.

(Verse 3)
They never see the things I catch—
The life that lives beneath the patch.
I’m just a man, but not asleep—
These sidewalks know the thoughts I keep.
They don’t look up, they never will—
But I’ve learned more from sitting still.

(Strong Outro)
But I am here—I am alive,
Not just waiting to survive.
Let them scroll and pass me by,
I’ve seen the truth in a dog’s eye.
I’m not their ghost, I’m not their shame,
I’ve got no label, mask, or name.
While they forget what life is for—
I’ll stand alone and feel it more

The Watching Game.   Lyrics in description

Woman who is struggling with internal shortcomings and feelings of self-doubt

Lost in my Own Life - Seeds of my own Destruction

A hush fell over sunflower fields,
The sky wept ash where doves once wheeled.
The earth still breathes their silent tread—
The living walk among the dead.
(Verse 1)
They came for us in smoke and steel,
In the dark before the meal,
Mothers torn from each cradle song
With dust of home still in their eyes.
(Verse 2)
A train of ghosts, a thread unspooled,
Each station colder, barely ruled.
But hearts held tight to songs they knew,
And stitched their dreams in exile’s hue.
(Verse 3)
Now in cafés far from Kyiv snow,
She sets her bread, she lets tears flow.
A shawl of rye, a laugh half-spoken—
A soul too proud to stay broken.
(Chorus)
O daughters of the wind, you roam,
With stolen roots and borrowed home.
But every word, each cradle song,
Keeps Ukraine burning, brave and strong.
(Bridge)
She writes in journals folded tight,
By candle’s breath, by winter’s light.
She plants a seed in foreign land—
And sings in tones they’ll understand.
(Second Chorus)
O daughters of the wind, you roam,
With stolen roots and borrowed home.
But every stitch, each evening hymn,
Keeps Ukraine from falling dim.

Slava Ukraini feat.Oksanna Kopenko,vox lyrics indescription

In the shadows of Madrid, they came together—
the lost, the bruised, the brilliant misfits.
Not born criminals, but made by a world
that built walls too high and gave no ladders.

Verse 1

A man with glasses and a mind of fire—
El Profesor—he dreamed a revolution,
not with bullets, but with time, precision,
and a plan twenty years in the making.
To print hope, to mint resistance.
To make noise loud enough
for the forgotten to hear.

Verse 2

Berlin, dressed in fatal elegance,
dancing with death but always in rhythm.
Tokyo, a storm in red,
heartbroken and reckless, born to burn.

MainBridge

Nairobi, fierce and free,
her laughter carrying the dream.
Helsinki, gentle giant,
his heart stitched to a soldier’s frame.
Rio, still chasing the innocence he lost.
Denver, wild laugh masking old scars.
And Stockholm—proof that love
can bloom even in captivity.

Verse 3
Lisbon, the cop turned rebel,
drawn by truth, not lies—
falling not just for the man,
but for the cause,
for Sergio, the Robin Hood of Spain.

Verse 4

They wore masks, not to hide,
but to reveal the face of every soul
the world cast aside.
Dali grinned, red suits burned bright,
and Plan B was always ready.
They weren’t just stealing money—
they were stealing back time,
freedom, and the right to dream.

Outro

For every no one.
For every never.
For every rebel who’s still waiting
for their moment to rise.

“The Plan” (Inspired by La Casa de Papel/ Money Heist).     Lyrics in description

Verse 1
In the dust of broken silence, Gaza breathes a prayer,
From a rooftop under twilight, he finds his station there.
Steel and shadow in his fingers, mission cold and clear,
But the scope reveals a cradle, and a child drawing near.

Verse 2
He remembers little sandals by the front door back at home,
Five young voices on the staircase, where his spirit used to roam.
He left kisses on their foreheads, said he’d guard them through the storm,
But no briefing trains the heartbeat when the target looks so warm.

Chorus
And he sees her—
Running, laughing, hands like wings against the wind,
Not a threat, not a fighter, just a life that might have been.
In his eye, the glass goes misty, in his soul, the trigger stays—
He’s a sniper bound by orders, but a father walks away.

Verse 3
Midnight echoes from the radios, ghosts in every frame,
Coordinates and consequence, but none can speak her name.
He counts no glory in the silence, no honor in the aim,
When the line between the hunter and the hunted feels the same.

Bridge
His scope becomes a mirror—he sees his daughter’s face,
She could be beneath that keffiyeh, lost in some wrong place.
And no war cry, no command chain, no banner in the sky
Can harden what’s been softened by the lullabies gone by.

Final Chorus
So he sees her—
Not an enemy, not a number on a screen,
But a future that might flicker out for someone’s shattered dream.
He won’t speak of it in Tel Aviv, won’t say what he betrayed,
But tonight, a sniper faltered…
And a father walked away.

Through the crosshairs.   Lyrics in description

Intro
Midnight murmurs on the platform floor,
Keys in my case, heart wanting more.
She walked in like a whispered flame—
A ghost I never could name.

Verse 1
Fringe in her eyes, frost in her smile,
A German girl with Geneva style.
White skin like porcelain kissed by snow,
She spoke in silences only I know.

Verse 2
Every month, the sleeper swayed,
Through dusk and dawn, we gently played.
Hands like maps, we traced the night,
Learning bodies by candlelight.

Chorus
Where did you go, my northern star?
You vanished like steam from a windowed car.
No goodbye, no shattered cry,
Just a silence I can’t outdrive.

Verse 3
I waited, watched the numbers roll,
Each carriage passing stole my soul.
No footsteps, no flicker, no flare—
Just the ghost of you not there.

Bridge
Then came your letter, cold as glass:
Don’t come searching, let it pass.
But how do I forget your flame,
When every dream still speaks your name?

Outro
Now the train runs without a sound,
But in my mind, you’re always found.
A girl with eyes of Baltic blue—
The love I lost but never knew.

Sleeper to Hamburg.        Lyrics in description

Verse]
In the desert's hush where shadows creep
A cactus stands tall no need to weep
With spines like armor it guards its soul
Underneath the stars it feels whole

[Chorus]
Oh cactus king of the barren land
You thrive where no one understands
Through scorching sun and freezing night
You hold your ground in the fight

[Verse 2]
A lizard darts by to steal some shade
Beneath your arms a haven made
Your roots run deep in the sandy sea
A lesson in strength for you and me

[Chorus]
Oh cactus king of the barren land
You thrive where no one understands
Through scorching sun and freezing night
You hold your ground in the fight

[Bridge]
When rain does fall your flowers bloom
A splash of color in endless gloom
Your thorns they speak of trials endured
A silent story raw and pure

[Chorus]
Oh cactus king of the barren land
You thrive where no one understands
Through scorching sun and freezing night
You hold your ground in the fight

Cactus King (feat. Lenny O’Connor). Lyrics in description

[Verse 1]
First met you on the courthouse steps
You had a ticket for a car that was borrowed
You said "Take me to the firemen's ball
They'll forget about it by tomorrow"

[Verse 2]
We danced and you introduced me as your husband
It was just a little white lie
But I loved it
You said
"Let's go make it a little more true"
And we took off in a hurry
We got hitched and got it over
While the wedding bells were still ringin' in my ears

[Chorus]
Tell me
Girl
What was wrong with me?
Was it my taste in music or the way I kissed you?
Or the hours and hours that I spent with you in bed?
Was it something that I said?
Was it the way I held your hand
When you introduced me as your husband?
Why a girl wanna leave such a smart and gentle man?

[Verse 3]
You brought me to your parents' house
You said
"Just play along for the weekend"
They had their questions and their doubts
But by the end
They were believing

[Verse 4]
We had fun
We put on a good show
I guess some people just get off on pretending
I could tell that your daddy didn't like me much
So I left
'cause it seemed like the right thing
It was just the one time
But I know how much it meant to you
And I hope I didn't mess it up too bad

[Chorus]
Tell me
Girl
What was wrong with me?
Was it my taste in music or the way I kissed you?
Or the hours and hours that I spent with you in bed?
Was it something that I said?
Was it the way I held your hand
When you introduced me as your husband?
Why a girl wanna leave such a smart and gentle man?

Why me ?  Lyrics in description

#lost job #lost home #lost wife #lost children #new home on the street #fentanyl #in the subway ´s hum


Copyright Vesuvius 2025

Cold on the concrete, boots worn thin
Eyes like glass, soaked in gin
No name, no plan, no fight left to win
But he used to drive freight through the Oregon wind
Verse 1
He lost his job in a company slide
They said, "we’re downsizing," and smiled while he died
Mortgage unpaid, then she walked out the door
Now he sleeps with the rats near the grocery store
Verse 2
There’s a girl in the alley with eyes like fire
Numbed out on fentanyl, dressed in barbed wire
She talks to ghosts and sings in the rain
Used to dance ballet before the veins gave way
Verse 3
And the suits pass by with their collars tight
Averted gazes in the neon light
They clutch their phones like holy charms
Afraid to see themselves without their arms
Chorus
We’re just a few steps down,
From the edge of town
Where the cold don’t care
And the snow comes down
When your world caves in
And there’s no way out
You’re just a face in the crowd
Just a few steps down
Bridge
What do you do when the fire’s gone black
When the world don’t wait and it won’t look back
Do you shiver alone in the subway’s hum
Or curse the sun when the morning comes
Chorus
We’re just a few steps down,
From the edge of town
Where the cold don’t care
And the snow comes down
When your pride gives way
To a cardboard crown
Outro
And the Strat still wails like a midnight train
While he fades like steam in the winter rain
One more name that no one says aloud
Just a few steps down…
Just a few steps down…
Just a few steps down…
Just a few steps down…
Just a few steps down
Just a few steps down…
Just a few steps down…

Just a few steps down. Requiem

Song and lyrics Intro . Heavily copyrighted

She had a laugh that lit the morning.
Now there’s silence in her room.
They say love can turn to madness…
But this — this was doom.

⸻

Verse 1

She covered bruises with a smile
Said, “He just drinks too much sometimes”
The neighbors turned their eyes away
As she rehearsed her careful lines

⸻

Verse 2

He said, “If I can’t have you, then no one will”
Possession twisted into pain
She ran, but shadows always chase
Now her name’s a candle in the rain

⸻

Chorus (powerful, rising with full grunge band)

Dark days, dark hearts
No more silence, no more scars
She was light, she was fire
Now she’s ashes and a choir
Dark days… and we’re still blind.

Bridge

Raised with sisters, taught to care
How did we end up drowning here?
Where men confuse love with control
And no one fights to save her soul 

Outro

We rage, we scream, we burn the night
This ends today, we rise, we fight!

#Haïti #US TPS #deportation #overstay #panic #ICE


A song for all Haitian who they « overstayed » in the US.
Lyrics
Verse 1
They came in dreams from Port-au-Prince
With echoes in their blood
Salt and sugar in their skin
And fire under the mud
They crossed the waters long ago
To seek a place to grow
But now the tide has turned around
With nowhere left to go

Verse 2
They say you’ve had your time up north
“Back to the island dust”
As if the gangs don’t own the ports
And hope is built on rust
The land is broken, hearts are too
Each street a loaded gun
You send them back to burning roofs
As if the past is done

Verse 3
They whisper now in laundromats
In kitchens, schools, salons
Mothers braid the fear in hair
And hide it from their sons
The papers call them “overstayed”
Like luggage left too long
But you don’t deport a beating heart
And still pretend it’s wrong

Bridge
How do you pack a life like thread
Back into a storm?
Where ransom is a daily tax
And grief becomes the norm
You’re not returning “citizens”—
You’re sending lambs to flame
And every name you fly back home
Is one more silent name

Chorus
There’s no safe shore, no promised land
When justice folds its hand
No torch, no song, no open gate
Just fear you can’t withstand
The sky is loud, the sea is cold
The flight is final, fast
And what they built with trembling hands
Is buried in the past

Outro
So count them out, then fly them in
To hell they did not choose
But you can’t send a soul to die
And say you didn’t lose

⸻

[Verse]
Ormuz whispers in the night
City glows but never bright
Broken alleys
Neon veins
Rusty trains 

[Verse 2]
Factory ghosts hum their tune
Under a tired
Cold-blooded moon
Chimneys cough
Streets don’t sleep
Secrets buried
Promises deep

[Prechorus]
Echoes of engines
Lives collide
Steel and soul
Nowhere to hide

[Bridge]
Hands are calloused
Hearts are tough
Every corner’s got its bluff
Dreams get dented
Roads stay rough
But somehow here
It’s just enough

White villages climb  
the mountain side  
Whispers of jasmine  
the night is wide  

Cobblestones glowing  
in fading light  
Echoes of guitars  
through falling night  

Verse 2  
Ronda stands bold  
where eagles fly  
Stone bridges crossing  
the endless sky  

Mijas in silence  
with candles that gleam  
Holds every secret  
holds every dream

Shadows dancing  
fire’s embrace  
Footsteps striking  
timeless grace

As an author - composer, I like to sing, with my natural voice or slightly transformed with different devices, according to my mood. I also play all kinds of keyboards and a little bit of 6-string guitars, both acoustic and electric.I'm pretty old, but I've still got a fairly wide vocal range, though it's getting lower and lower.
I also have a small home studio called Vesuvius( thx Sufjan Stevens! )
I like to work alone, or with two or three partners, male or female, highly qualified.
And I get some much fun to discover amazing new talents on Soudcloud. That's why I follow more people than I'm followed by. I'm just too curious..
