Good evening, Love
Everything's not well
What I mean to say is,
I've found somebody else.

Someone who just wants me
for myself. She's in pursuit of
happiness - you're in pursuit of wealth,
so, here's my proposal:  (chorus)

CHORUS: Take the money
Take the car
because it's who you 
really are - and - I just want to
be so far away from that (take the cash)
It's the yacht, the country club
and the mansion that you love
and all I need is someone (take the car)
who loves me(take it all)…

Goodbye my wife,
my life with you is done
It's time for love and romance
and picnics in the sun
and when the sun sets 
I'll play her some chords
and if she feels the love is gone
we'll just make some more
Now, let me show you to the door...(chorus)

This song started as an idea David and I came up with to do an afrobeat song together.  So David came up with this banger of a bass line and drums track and sent it to me. I added some guitars, electric piano, and organ. I then excitedly sent it to Mikey to add the sax, which I consider to be a key element of afrobeat music, and which he always does so well. David's version is much more drum and bass heavy. Please have a listen to both so you can hear how they both sound. I really had a good time making this song. David produced and mixed both versions, and what a fun thing it is to hear my instruments integrated into an elrctronica song by such able hands.

Under the Baobab Tree (with David K. A. Spencer and Mikey McFaffington)

it's just going to "add mystery" too it? 
electronic music, guitars and vocals 
as art work, an old  watercolour painting!

Always Mystery

Add Mystery

( for Nadine )

jesus: rhythm, lyrics, vocals
Scotty: lead, harmonica, tambourine 

if i broke your heart
i'd break it slow and sure
i'd send flowers filled with bees
and i'd break it tenderly
i'd send you letters, long
full of tender poetry
if i broke your heart, maybe
you would see

i loved you all along
the seaside and the shore,
like the waves that break upon the love 
that you endure
like autumn leaves that fall
on the grass , no longer sweet
i'd keep you all alone
to wonder, how to sleep

your dreams all full of hope
that we would meet again
up on that road, down by the riverbend
we'd never ever awake
and i would sing to you
if i broke your heart
i'd keep it with me too

If I Broke Your Heart (jesus vegas/QB Bills)

Your Move

Lil Peep x Poshlaya Molly - Favourite dress

Ashes of Reverie drifts through the fragile borderlands between memory and dream. 
Across six tracks, Nightsorrow traces the dissolution of light into shadow, 
of certainty into echo. Each song feels like a room slowly fading from view: 
thresholds where sleep overtakes thought, fragments where identity shatters,
 currents where even light drowns.

What remains are reveries turned to ash — delicate, spectral, and unrelenting.
The voice does not narrate but haunts, guiding the listener deeper into a 
landscape where time folds and dissolves. Ashes of Reverie is not an arrival 
but a vanishing, an invitation to linger at the edge of forgetting.

Glass veins

Tomorrow will be a better day
A brighter day
Your sorrows will melt away
Be swept away
Together we will stand
Hand in hand
Looking towards our better days

I have been experimenting with sounds since I was really young , when I was about 6 or 7 years old, after lots of pleading, from me, I managed to get my hands on a very old reel to reel tape machine, that everyone thought I was too young to have, and I discovered and loved recording. 
I played guitar and wrote songs in a indie punky band ,toured, made albums and worked in Studios. Now I work from my home studio in SW Germany,  using synths, groove boxes, guitars and vocals to produce electronic music. I also produce images through photography and  make ceramic sculpture.
