Amazing song, great lyrics and vocals 👌

Grunge In A Barn

[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

Infamous Fame.   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!

Our paths would cross 
From time to time. 
This is a story 
Of an old friend of mine. 
A tale deep in our minds. 
The choices we make 
Seem like glimpses 
Of a picture that shines 
Becoming shadowed 
By the choices we find. 
Woven in the truth 
Shadowed by my friend 
This becomes a story 
That attempts to amend. 
I can only feel 
The sorrow of my heart 
Reaching back 
To what once was 
And the complication, 
The entrapment 
Of the shadow’s attachment. 
But, the freedom of choice 
Combined with 
Life’s gentleness 
Of a coin toss. 
It did not allow 
My mind to see 
What in fat 
Ad captured me. 
As the universe does speak, 
A message to seek 
As the mind begins 
To peak 
To the peripheral  
Of a vision 
Begging for this 
Divine recission. 
Still, not understanding 
It’s always 
Our simple decision 
Yes, the shadow 
Comes invited 
By something 
We may feel excited 
The choice is everywhere 
To live in love 
Or, to sit  
And breathe my air. 
To embrace the choice 
That brought fear 
Propagating my actions 
Pushing away 
What I held very dear 
I wish you were here –  
My friend. 
We once laughed 
And dreamed. 
But the shadowing future 
Was not clear. 
As I sit here 
With the courage to care. 
I have the power 
To free love 
From there to here 
And beyond 
The shadow’s sneer. 
A heart with no fear –  
Love that can care. 
A soul, timeless 
With the ability 
To make illusions disappear.

Old Friend of Mine

I can vividly remember riding the Southern Shore highway in Newfoundland on the bench seat of my uncle’s Buick - the feel of the fabric, the colour, and those sounds from the stereo. There was a cassette with a red cover and the black silhouette of a man on it: Gunfighter Ballads and Trail Songs by Marty Robbins. That record stuck with me, and it is what brought "The Many Deaths of Rose Murphy" to life…and death, I suppose. There’s nothing quite like a good murder ballad, and I needed to write one of my own. 

This one was recorded live in one take, with only the pedal steel added afterwards - sung around a couple of mics, just like it would have been done years ago. So sit back, let your mind wander to 1909, and enjoy one of "The Many Deaths of Rose Murphy".

Can I pay for your coffee?
I say I left my wallet in the car
I don't have a car
The way you move and the way you are
You look so sweet and the boys at the bar
Get nervous when you ask
"Can I pay for your beer?"
Well
You could have
But my demons already paid for it
You could have
But my demons already paid for it

[Prechorus]
And my best friend died
And my girlfriend cries

[Chorus]
When the whiskey takes over
And I do what I'm told
I am not that strong
And when I get older
I wanna see you there
My demons pay 4 the beer
My demons pay 4 the beer
My demons pay 4 the beer

[Bridge]
You know what I mean
You know what I mean
You know what I mean

[Chorus]
When the whiskey takes over
And I do what I'm told
I am not that strong
And when I get older
I wanna see you there
My demons pay 4 the beer
My demons pay 4 the beer
My demons pay 4 the beer

Disillusioned by you

You Promised Her a Ring (story of Ejae and her hit song Golden)
Reidmoto:  ALL.   Tunee.ai:  Used for producing the song

[Verse 1]
Eleven years folded in a hallway file
Where your name was just a number for a while
“Too old,” they said, between sips of cold brew
While your childhood rusted out of view

You zipped your bag but left your shadow there
A quiet ghost who learned to disappear

[Verse 2]
For months you walked like someone underwater
Nodding through days that wouldn’t bend or shatter
“Queen Dunce,” they smirked behind glass doors
While you traced cracks along rehearsal floors

No fanfare when the paper tore
Just dial tone—and something more

[Pre-Chorus]
But silence has a shape when it’s yours alone
And yours was carved in bone, not stone

[Chorus]
YOU PROMISED HER A RING!
Not spun from luck—but sweat and stubborn grace
YOU PROMISED HER A RING!
To give back time they stole from that small face

No crown was handed—you laid each plank by hand
With calloused palms and kindness no one asked you to keep
Now every note you sing is armor, every step a vow
And the world sees GOLD—but you know how

[Verse 3]
No grand design—just bus rides, laundry, dawn
A clan who knew your silence wasn’t gone
Just waiting for the right kind of rain
To melt the frost inside your veins

[Verse 4]
You trained while others scrolled or slept
Kept your fire banked, your promise kept
Only to the mirror, soft and low
“I won’t let you go.”

[Pre-Chorus]
The ring’s not metal—it’s the way you stand
When every door says “never,” but you raise your hand

[Chorus]
YOU PROMISED HER A RING!
Not spun from luck—but sweat and stubborn grace
YOU PROMISED HER A RING!
To give back time they stole from that small face

No crown was handed—you laid each plank by hand
With calloused palms and kindness no one asked you to keep
Now every note you sing is armor, every step a vow
And the world sees GOLD—but you know how

[Bridge]
First shots fired before the trades went wide
No parade—just your own quiet stride
They thought indifference would be your end
But tenderness was your rebellion, friend

[Chorus]
YOU PROMISED HER A RING!
Not spun from luck—but sweat and stubborn grace
YOU PROMISED HER A RING!
To give back time they stole from that small face

No crown was handed—you laid each plank by hand
With calloused palms and kindness no one asked you to keep
Now every note you sing is armor, every step a vow
And the world sees GOLD—but you know how

[Outro: Piano fades, single high string lingers]
(whispered)
I kept my word… I kept my word…



You Promised Her a Ring v. Pop Ballad (Ejae Kim writer of "Golden"  promised her kid self a ring

Love the Feeling Getting Kissed by You

Verse 1
Your mouth hits mine like a slow collision,
Sweet on the surface with a buried intention.
You taste like you know exactly what you do —
Set me on fire getting kissed by you.
Your fingers grip my waist like you own the night,
Pulling me closer than I meant to invite.
I try to breathe, but you steal that too —
One little kiss and I’m déjà-vu.

Pre-Chorus
Damn, you know the switch to flip,
The way you bite before you kiss.
Every rule I made slips straight through —
My body betrays me… right to you.

Chorus
I love the feeling getting kissed by you,
Hot like danger, soft like taboo.
You turn my heartbeat into something rude —
Nothing hits harder than a kiss from you.
I fall, I melt, I lose my cool…
God, I love the feeling getting kissed by you.

Verse 2
You press me back like you’ve planned the scene,
Whisper my name like you’re tasting it clean.
Your hands say stay while your breath says move —
Baby, I break in the shape of you.
One more kiss and I’m past control,
You draw the sin right out of my soul.
I should stop — but you know I won’t.
Not when your lips say don’t you go.

Pre-Chorus
Heat on my neck, low on my spine,
You blur the line between “yours” and “mine.”
Whatever this is, it’s overdue —
I want every part that belongs to you.

[Bridge: Tension rising, layered moans, vocal push]
Take the lead…
Make it slow…
Let me feel exactly what you know.
Pull me under…
Make me choose…
Every kiss burns straight through.

Final Chorus
I love the feeling getting kissed by you,
You make surrender feel brand new.
If this is danger, then take me too —
I’d risk my name for a night with you.
I melt, I break, I come unglued…
Yeah, I love the feeling getting kissed by you.

[Outro: Heavy breaths, fading hum, soft kiss sounds]

As a 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..
