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

Verse]
She's got a sparkle in her step today
Wears the world in a curious array
Messy hair like the winds took a twirl
She's the everyday beauty of an unordinary girl

[Verse 2]
Paint-stained jeans and a secondhand coat
She writes her own story on a wrinkled note
Eyes like secrets that light up the sky
She laughs like she doesn't need a reason why

[Chorus]
Oh unordinary girl you're a masterpiece
Turning little moments into symphonies
Every glance is like a shooting star's pearl
Oh the simple magic of an unordinary girl

[Verse 3]
She hums a tune only she understands
While the whole world trips trying to make plans
She's not a puzzle she's a whole new world
Perfect imperfection unordinary girl

[Bridge]
While others chase diamonds she stops for the rain
Finds art in the chaos beauty in pain
She's a world of her own a meteor's swirl
A fleeting wonder unordinary girl

[Verse 4]
She never walks she dances the street
Her melody plays in her shuffle of feet
She's not in the crowd she's her own swirl
Wondrous and wild unordinary girl

Unordinary girl.   Lyrics in description

I played two versions of this song, which is my personal story between the ages of two and four, at the Basel Zoo in Switzerland.Version 1 has my voice pushed to the extreme thanks to a device I won't advertise.In this version, it's the voice of the 4-year-old child, so happy among his animal friends.
Version 2 is more in line with my usual interpretations.Which one do you like better?The winner will receive a plush meerkat. 


V In the hush before the morning’s call,
where iron gates loom wide and tall,
a child was cradled in the quiet roar,
where beasts and winds forever soar.

(Verse 2)
Meerkats whispered secrets in the sand,
tiny sentinels with knowing hands.
Chimpanzees laughed in the dying light,
taught him wonder, taught him flight.

(Chorus)
He walks where the wild ones dream,
a heartbeat lost in the rushing stream.
Not caged, not tamed, forever free,
a child of the earth, of sky, of sea.

(Verse 3)
Arias sang from feathered throats,
a symphony on air afloat.
Sea lions danced on silver waves,
called his name through ocean caves.

(Chorus)
He walks where the wild ones dream,
a heartbeat lost in the rushing stream.
Not caged, not tamed, forever free,
a child of the earth, of sky, of sea.

(Outro)
And when the stars begin to rise,
he walks the paths with knowing eyes.
Not lost, not found—just running free,
a child of wild eternity. erse 1)
In the hush before the morning’s call,
where iron gates loom wide and tall,
a child was cradled in the quiet roar,
where beasts and winds forever soar.

(Verse 2)
Meerkats whispered secrets in the sand,
tiny sentinels with knowing hands.
Chimpanzees laughed in the dying light,
taught him wonder, taught him flight.

(Verse 3)
Arias sang from feathered throats,
a symphony on air afloat.
Sea lions danced on silver waves,
called his name through ocean caves.

(Bridge)
Not of cage, nor of the street,
his soul was wild, his heart complete.
Between the worlds, yet one the same,
beast and boy, no need for names.

(Outro)
And when the stars begin to rise,
he walks the paths with knowing eyes.
Not lost, not found—just running free,
a child of wild eternity.

Verse 1

Sometimes you feel like there’s no way out
A world too big and filled with doubt
But there’s a spark inside you, bright as the sun
You’re stronger than you know, and you’ve just begun

Pre-Chorus

You can write the story, you can change the rules
Open up your vision, the future’s up to you

Chorus

Cause it’s your reality, no one can take it from you
Every dream’s within your reach, if you believe it’s true
You decide your destiny, the power’s in your hands
No matter where you start, you choose where you’ll land
It’s your reality—go claim what you can do

Verse 2

When fear knocks on your door, don’t let it in
You’ve got the heart to fight and the will to win
The voice inside that says “You’ve got this” is right
Take one step forward, step into the light

Pre-Chorus

No mountain too tall, no vision too grand
When you feel the call, that’s where you’ll stand

Chorus (repeat)

Cause it’s your reality, no one can take it from you
Every dream’s within your reach, if you believe it’s true
You decide your destiny, the power’s in your hands
No matter where you start, you choose where you’ll land
It’s your reality—go claim what you can do

Bridge

Don’t let the outside noise drown out your inner flame
You’re the one who writes your script—no two stories are the same
Focus on the horizon, let hope guide your way
Stand tall in your purpose, tomorrow starts today

Final Chorus

It’s your reality, no one can take it from you
Every dream’s within your reach, if you believe it’s true
You decide your destiny, the power’s in your hands
No matter where you start, you choose where you’ll land
It’s your reality—so go on and shine through

Outro

Yes, it’s your reality—go claim what you can do
Stand up and make it real—‘cause it all begins with you

It’s your reality

#codie # lumière #beauté #Mellotron flute and choir. Une chanson,qui j’espère mettra joie et rires en cette fin d’année merdique.  I hope this song brings joy, laughter, and well-being to everyone with its joyful bunch of sounds at the end of this shitty year.

Stay with the sound, Ma Codie,
reste avec moi dans la nuit.
Nothing fades when the heart still hears,
même le silence retient tes pas.

And if this moment is all we keep,
je t’écrirai dans chaque note,
the world asleep, the soul awake,
là où la musique me dévôte.

Ma Codie…

éternelle dans la lumière qui to
Ma Codie
melody…
que je porte, même quand tout succombe.

I’m rusted out on the edge of town
Paint peeled off and the seats torn down
No one looks twice I’m just a ghost on wheels

[Prechorus]
But I once roared like thunder
I once burned the sky
Now I’m left to wonder
Why did I run dry

[Chorus]
I’m just a scrap car
Left in the yard
Dreams in my engine
But they don’t go far
I’m just a scrap car
Falling apart

[Verse 2]
The weeds grow tall through my broken frame
License plate hangs like a forgotten name
Rain taps a rhythm but it feels like shame

[Bridge]
They stripped my heart my chrome my pride
Left me hollow on the inside
But every dent tells a tale
Of roads I chased of winds I sailed

[Chorus]
I’m just a scrap car
Left in the yard
Dreams in my engine
But they don’t go far
I’m just a scrap car
Falling apart

All the usual team

[Verse]
Two snowmen at my door last night
One was crooked the other upright
They whispered secrets I couldn’t hear
Melted fears froze crystal clear

[Chorus]
Two snowmen at my door
What are you waiting for
Knocking with their icy hands
Like they had some winter plans

[Verse 2]
The moonlight made their shadows bend
A snowy chill became my friend
They stared at me with coal-black eyes
As if they knew my frozen lies

[Prechorus]
I laughed but they didn’t move
What’s the deal what’s the groove

[Chorus]
Two snowmen at my door
What are you waiting for
Knocking with their icy hands
Like they had some winter plans

[Bridge]
One had a hat with a tilted brim
The other wore a scarf so grim
I asked them what they came to see
They just stood there haunting me

Two Snowmen at the Door

FIRST OF ALL, No Promoters or so-called VIDEOS experts.

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