If you believe there's something there to guide you but you cannot tell if it's there beside you, open your heart and you will see the powers of righteous alchemy...

Blind faith (Lyrics and Vocals by Jess Johnson music by Xavier)

No place for you to sleep
No comfort in the street
They steal all you own
You beg to go home

Every day is a trial
Fighting for your life
No cake with a file
Inside there is a knife

Stand up and fight
To the death
Stand up and fight
Your last breath
Make them fear you

Harness fury trapped inside
Harmless barely kept alive
Smile hidden deep inside
While contemplating suicide

Stand up and fight
To the death
Stand up and fight
Your last breath
Make them mourn you

Stand up and fight
Stand up and fight
Stand up and fight
Fight
Fight
Fight




Stand up and fight (Lyrics and Vocals by Jess Johnson music by Epic Free Sounds)

we had a choice(didn't know) by Jess Johnson

Lyrics:
I tried to find out what was going on
I didn't find a thing, it was already long gone

I could tell you why I do the things I do
but that would mean that I would need
to understand them too 

But I haven't got a clue
and I never have
I don't know what to do
but I never meant to make you sad

I could tell you why
I do the things I do
but that would mean
I would need
to understand them too 

it's been awhile now
I was kinda hoping you could read my mind
if I could show you how
baby maybe you could find

find out why I do the things i do
but that would mean
that I would need
to understand them too.

We started out 15 years ago,  We had our doubts you and I both know,  We hit some Rocky ground

So we just held on tight, to each other till we could see the light and we knew we'd be alright

Don't be afraid, afraid of the dark
you don't need your eyes you can see with your heart

baby please never be scared, the love that we shared, you know that i cared, baby never be scared, baby never be scared, know that i care, i care!

When the cold wind blows in from the north, I will build is the biggest, the brightest, the warmest, the highest fire! 

Unbreakable for Angel (Lyrics and Vocals by Jess Johnson music by Lick Rodrigo)

Heeding your fear(Lyrics and Vocals by Jess Johnson Music by Madatracker)

For me nothing evokes feelings of melancholic nostalgia and deep sadness than an empty abandoned playground.  Maybe a little terror too...

Wasted time (Lyrics and Vocals by Jess Johnson Music by VELVET)

As I am still fighting the last vestiges of covid19, smell, taste, stamina, ptsd, etc. I still think about it constantly. If you've had it you understand.  I still get head and neck aches along with stuffed sinuses and dry scratchy throat, which is not very conducive to singing so I did what I could but there is no way to sing smoothly and I have no idea how long it's going to last so I just said screw it iff this is going to be my new voice then i may as well embrace it.  Nobody is going to care or notice I'm sure.  I'm uploading this new song right now at 2:30am because i am curious how people are going to react to my new and improved covid gravel voice.  Should be interesting either way so i hope you enjoy!

Four years ago we had our first child together. While in labor I watched the nurses and doctors force my wife to push for hours when it was clear to everyone she needed a cesarean. When the alarm started going off every time she pushed I thought they would finally do the right thing.  They called in the MD and I heard the Dr ask the midwife, "what kind of coverage does she have?" The midwife said "none" (I'll explain at the end). The Dr told her to have her keep pushing and give her a shot of pletosin. Another hour went by with the alarm going off so many times that the midwife shut it off and that's when I freaked out. Eventually she was taken into surgery where they performed a c section. My sons head was cone shaped of course and that went back to normal. We learned that every time the alarm was going off he was not getting oxygen so whenever mom pushed he would not be able to breathe he wasn't getting oxygen and that happened so many times I can't even count.  Fast forward 3 years and it wasn't really obvious at first until he was three that he was on the Spectrum. My wife worked for a big medical device manufacturer called Stryker and when she went on fmla to have the baby their computer system listed her as no longer employed instead of being on fmla so the system canceled her health insurance which we didn't know until we went to the hospital to have the baby.  The entire time we were there we were treated horribly, given subpar treatment and watched them almost kill our child but definitely changed his and our lives forever.  And yes we do have a lawsuit against them. I almost didn't sue but thank God my woman stopped me and straightened out my head one day when I was all loaded up in my truck with my buddies AR and 9 and plenty of popcorn for the event. It scares me to this day that I was in my truck pulling out of the driveway when she ran out and stood in front of my truck. I hope those responsible felt a chill that day and found Jesus. My biggest hope is that they didn't do that to any other families, unfortunately I don't think they care because they will lie under oath with a smile on their faces. Pure evil.
I don't think I have enough space left on here to add the lyrics but I'll try: 

I've been bad,  I've been good
Up until this point I feel
I've done what I could

Sometimes life throws a curveball
When you're not expecting it at all

Now you got to be a man and take it
Don't listen to the voice tells you to quit
Don't listen to it don't listen to it no don't you listen to it

There have been some good days
There have been some bad
Thoughts of justice and revenge
 running through my head

Honestly it's a lot harder than I thought it'd be
Taking its toll on my wife and me
Harder than I thought it'd be
But don't listen to it

I know I'm not supposed to think that way
But it's so hard when I have to see 
what they did to him every single day

Now I got to be a man and take it
I didn't listen to The Voice and I didn't quit
No I didn't listen to it I didn't give in to it I didn't listen to it
I didn't quit. 

don't listen to it (Lyrics and Vocals by Jess Johnson Music by Xavier) _1

何も考えるな
別の世界を作るんだ
あなたの音に包まれていたい

Maybe it's a survival mechanism that only allows us to remember the good things in our past, but then as we get older our subconscious and need for resolve actually breaks down that wall that has protected our minds while they were immature, weak and prone to disillusion. What we end up with is clear memories of all the things our subconscious was hiding from us all those years. At this point in life we no longer have anyone to focus on as the perpetrator of the crimes committed against us because, either they are too old or are gone, which leaves us alone to deal with by ourselves, or wonder if it's all in our heads. After years of research and self analysis I am leaning towards the power of our minds that protected us for years theory,  at least for myself,  you must complete your own quest for the truth. 

Lyrics:

Well everybody has a story to tell
Time when things didn't go so well
Best thing we can do is never forget never forget

Don't forget about the time when you were two
And caught your mom and dad up in their room
You learned a lot about life that night
Now let's move on and try to forget try to forget
Hahaha

Remember when you were four
Freezing cold in a winter storm
Parents put a heater in your room
Said don't touch just leave it alone

Why is it we can only recall
The worst that happens to us all
There's got to be good times in between
Bad memories and what we've seen
Let's move on let's move on let's move on let's move on

It can't be this cold at the end of the road
After all we've suffered
We deserve a big fat pile of gold
Let's move on let's move on

Everybody has a story to tell
Time when things didn't go so well
The best thing we can do is never forget never forget

Don't forget about the time when you were two
Caught your mom and dad in their room
You learned a lot about life that night now let's move on
And try to forget try to forget
Hahaha

Reflection in music can evoke different colorful emotions and feelings.

Reflection

🎧 *Epic Journey – The Return of the Fearless Warriors* by Inoxx (2025 Remaster) This piece began with a single chord — F augmented with a B — after watching the train scene in *Spirited Away*. Its rhythm builds like *Tonight We Fly* by The Divine Comedy, and its strings echo the fragility of *Rain* by Ryuichi Sakamoto.


 Composed in the late 2000s on Reason 3.5 or 4.0, it lived quietly online… until I discovered it had been licensed under a different name — with a credit that no longer belongs to me. This version gives it back its original voice. 🎹 *Cinematic. Melancholic. Untamed.* 💬 *If it sounds familiar, or you’ve heard it elsewhere — feel free to reach out.*
