SONG NOTES AND LYRICS:
Let the rain come down 
Take this river to the sea
Let the rain come down
Take this river to the sea
Way out here
Just the rain and the river and me

Let the rain come down 
The things this old river has seen 
Let the rain come down 
The things this old river has seen
Way out here
It’s just the rain and the river me

From the top of this hill 
How this river flows
Doing what a river does 
What a river knows 
Let the rain come down 
Take the river where the river goes 

Let the rain come down 
What will be will be 
Let the rain come down 
What will be will be 
Way out here
Just the rain and the river and me

The Rain and The River and Me

Lyrics
When we were young, we were able to fly
No fear no doubt, pain just passed by

Remember The Magic

The world was big, a space for dreams
It was crowded by possibilities

Remember The Magic

We made some miracles come true
What you desire and what you dream is up to you

Remember The Magic - Neli CoKo

Before the Storm

Crossroads

GOODBYE OLD WORLD
WHEN THE TIMES THERE WERE A CHANGIN’
BUT THE SHIP SHE NEVER CAME IN  

BAD NEWS BLOWING IN THE WIND
SWEET LORD WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN

WHAT CAN I DO?
WHERE CAN I GO?
BAM BAM BAM BAM 

GOO DAY NEW WORLD
SUNSHINE TURNING GREEN
SUNK THE YELLOW SUBMARINE

CASTLES OF SAND A’ CRUMBLING
BANG BANG SISTER MORPHINE

WHAT CAN WE DO?
WHERE CAN WE  GO?
BAM BAM BAM BAM

WHAT CAN WE DO?

SHOW MUST GO ON

WHAT CAN I DO?

Who wants to Dance & who want to Rock & Roll

L’observateur observé. Un genre de méditation sonore où J’ai voulu mélanger différents genres musicaux avec vers la fin une intervention de Taf, mon ami Sénégalais qui a posé sa très belle voix, c’est un voyage « Inside » car il se passe beaucoup de choses à l’intérieur de notre cerveau humain, entre le conscient le subconscient, le supra conscient, à la fin ça fait beaucoup de monde et ils ne sont pas toujours tous d’accord, on dirait même que des fois il se prennent la tête l’un dit quelque chose, l’autre dit autre chose.
Mais puisqu’en nous subsiste un infini espace d’une grande profondeur où règne la paix, le calme, le silence parfois comme un guide qui nous emmène ailleurs, vers l’invisible, peut être vers cette énergie cosmique, vers les étoiles, vers la lumière, plus haut, plus loin….

voix Sénégalaise à la fin du morceau : Taf

Une initiative, émotive, passive
Un rêve éveillé
Une bouée qui dérive
au flux et courant des marrées
Sans jamais s’échouer

Croire à son étoile
Connecté à ses pensées
La main posée sur la toile
Libre et se laisser guider
Retrouver un peu d’espoir
De magie de coté

C’est vrai, tu as raison
Je vais maintenant, t’écouter
Si mes tourments te gênent
Je les enverrai en recommandé

Tous ces déserts, amers
N’auront plus aucun effet
Dérision d’éther
Etrange et sur mon caractère

I first sang this about a year ago. But it was with a little bad English and bad sound, so I tried again :)

Lyrics:

1
They said she was a temptress
That she would seduce all men
She had a bad reputation
And not a single friend...

2
She had a perfect body
Nice make up on her face
Always so stylishly dressed
But the women called her trash...

Chorus:
She was exposed to jealousy
Was never taken seriously
She was way to pretty
In a world full of jealousy

3
All the men loved her
The way she moved and looked
But the women hated her
Was afraid their men would get hooked...

4
She tried to tone it down
The nice clothes and make up were thrown
But no matter what she did
She was still way to pretty...

Chorus x 2:
She was exposed to jealousy
Was never taken seriously
She was way to pretty
In a world full of jealousy

In a world full of jealousy...

In a world full of jealousy...

Jealousy   (Original ,Remix)

“The Cold Don’t Lie” is a dust-covered journey through backroads, motel rooms, and quiet regrets. With razor-sharp lines like “Steerin’ by feel, not direction” and “The cold don’t lie like the heat you gave,” this song captures the raw honesty of running from a past that still burns. It’s not a love song—it’s what comes after. A soundtrack for anyone who’s ever driven just to forget.

„The Cold Don’t Lie“ ist ein staubiger Trip durch Hinterland, Motels und unausgesprochene Abschiede. Mit Zeilen wie „Steerin’ by feel, not direction“ und „The cold don’t lie like the heat you gave“ erzählt der Song von der Klarheit nach dem Sturm – wenn man weiterzieht, nicht aus Freiheit, sondern weil es keine Wahrheit mehr gibt, die bleibt. Kein Liebeslied – sondern das, was danach kommt.

Keep Up The Vibe "Spécial Cecilia & Steph Ouna"

Hi, My name is Johnny Mc Farlane, I am an Indie songwriter from Ireland. I write, play, produce and distribute my own music. I try to write songs that will mean something to whoever may be listening. I try to express feeling and emotions through my music, I try to hit the heart and soul of whoever may be listening and to pass on my feelings through my lyrics and my music. A lot of the songs I write come from Personal experiences, some are pure imagination, but all try to carry a message of Hope, Fait, understanding and a spiritual message of love. I am just one voice in the wilderness but together we are stronger. Thank you so much for listening to my music. It’s a real honour.
