Grunge In A Barn

The Loneliest[cover by dona]

MARO - can you see me?

The Don BAZIGAR (covered by DONA & SHUN)

In a cozy nest, hidden under the leaves,
Four little fledglings see the light, tender images.
Their open beaks call out, in a soft chirping,
For mom and dad birds, to share their first meal.

Curious children approach on tiptoe,
Listen to the peeping, their hearts filled with secrets.
They smile, amazed, by this pure spectacle,
Life hatching, fragile, in a nest of greenery.

Proud parent birds bring worms and seeds,
Feed their little ones, under the watchful eyes of girls and boys in a chain.
The laughter of children blends with the songs of birds,
In this perfect scene, where nature echoes.

Every day, they return, to see the fledglings grow,
Their feathers form, their wings learn to open.
And when the time comes for them to take flight,
The children applaud, their hearts light, full of symbols.

So goes life, in this enchanted garden,
Where fledglings and children have learned to love.
A poem of joy, tenderness, and sharing,
That celebrates birth, and happiness as a legacy.

“By the Window” is an acoustic folk ballad infused with baroque elegance and quiet introspection.
Fingerpicked guitar, soft string layers, and delicate piano create a gently flowing soundscape,
as the lyrics reflect on time passing quietly outside the window.
Melancholic but warm, the song captures the feeling of stillness, memory, and the beauty of simply existing between moments.

By the Window

[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?

Lyrics

Intro – Spoken/half-sung, atmospheric]
Yeah, they trim the trees,
They rake the fire away.
Build fences strong,
But can’t outrun the laws today.

[Verse 1]
Juan’s got a scar that runs ear to chin,
Said it came from Sonora, not from sin.
He brings his boy on Sundays, just to play
Near the pool he’ll never swim in anyway.

[Verse 2]
Mowin’ lawns under redwood shade,
Hands in dirt while the rich get paid.
Sings to the birds in broken slang—
Every word feels like a chain that hangs.

[Verse 3]
They came last night in unmarked vans,
Took three men like they weren’t even men.
Left their tools in the morning dew,
Leaf blowers still, boots filled with truth.

Verse – Chicano’s Voice]
I send my pay to a border town,
Where mamá lights candles when the sun goes down.
My name’s not ‘hey’ or ‘you in the hat
I got stories, but no time for that.


[Bridge – whispered, rising tension]
Is this freedom, is this fear?
Do we only welcome those we mirror?
My friend cries but hides his face—
Guilt’s a shadow you can’t erase.

[Final Chorus – crescendo, all-out delivery]
They build your world and vanish in the smoke,
Names unspoken, dreams that broke.
You walk on marble, they crawl through flames,
Still you can’t even learn their names.
No green card, no last call—
But they stood taller than us all.

Lyrics

I walk the streets but no one sees
The face behind the flashbulb freeze
They cheer my name it cuts like glass
A fragile mask I can't surpass

[Chorus]
The spotlight burns it blinds my soul
A shining weight that takes its toll
I scream for peace it echoes thin
Fame's a game you never win

[Verse 2]
The mirror shows a stranger's eyes
A haunted glare beneath the guise
The crowd adores but they don't know
The cracks beneath the golden glow

[Chorus]
The spotlight burns it blinds my soul
A shining weight that takes its toll
I scream for peace it echoes thin
Fame's a game you never win

[Bridge]
I traded dreams for fleeting fame
But lost myself inside the flame
The echoes fade the crowd moves on
But I remain when they are gone

[Chorus]
The spotlight burns it blinds my soul
A shining weight that takes its toll
I scream for peace it echoes thin
Fame's a game you never win

#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!

Lyrics By: Graciana and Paulo Sergio Carvalho

Send Me Lord, take me — I’m ready
Hands wide open, heart unsteady
My work is done, the seeds are sown
I’m coming home, no fear of the unknown
Send Me Lord, take me — I’m ready

I hear Your call, loud and clear
Through the noise, it pulls me near
You gave me strength to run my race
Now I long to see Your face
Even though I’ll miss this place
I know it’s time — I’m not afraid

Send Me Lord, take me — I’m ready
Hands wide open, heart unsteady
My work is done, the seeds are sown
I’m coming home, no fear of the unknown
Send Me Lord, take me — I’m ready

Then I heard the voice of the Lord say,
"Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?"
And I said, “Here I am — send me.”
Here I am — send me.

The battle’s fought, the fight is won
You’ve been my light, my only sun
I’ll keep the faith ‘til my last breath
‘Cause I know there’s life beyond this death
Call my name, Lord, I’ll respond
I’m Yours forever, I belong

Send Me Lord, take me — I’m ready
Hands wide open, heart unsteady
My work is done, the seeds are sown
I’m coming home, no fear of the unknown
Send Me Lord, take me — I’m ready
Yes, Lord, I’m ready — send me.

Where Have All the Dark Horses Gone? (Songwriters Version)

All songs, -music and lyrics - are copyrighted..
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..

Just a few steps down. Requiem
