Despite it happening over a hundred years ago, the sinking of The Titanic is a subject which continues to fascinate.  Many may believe the ship’s misfortune in striking an iceberg was the simple reason for her demise but the true story is a catalogue of human error.  Investigation of the circumstances have unearthed a plethora of  mistakes that in their own way, all contributed to the disaster.  

In 1985, a secret mission to find the wrecks of two nuclear submarines unwittingly discovered that of The Titanic and since that time, ongoing scientific expeditions have discovered that the metal structure has created a species of bacteria that will eventually consume the entire ship, recycling the nutrients into the ocean ecosystem.  You can’t fight Mother Nature.  And you can’t fight those who'll always spot a way of making huge amounts of profit, no matter the grisly events from which they evolve. 

By 1998, tickets were put on sale at $32,500 each for tourists to view the remains and since then, fewer than 250 people have visited the site.  By 2021, OceanGate, who owned the Titan submarine, were offering tours to view said remains at a cost of up to $250,000 per person.  

Whilst understanding the continued scientific interest, I do find it macabre that the graves of those killed aboard Titanic, many from poor backgrounds, should become a tourist playground for the rich and privileged. That isn't to say I wasn’t glued to the news, hoping for a positive outcome in the rescue bid for those aboard the Titan sub.  It was deeply upsetting to discover that they had perished.  Some five years before the fatal implosion, specialists had warned OceanGate that the venture could very possibly end in such a disaster, yet I very much doubt the occupants, who had paid so much, were made aware of the fact.

I wanted to write a song that reflected how little we have learned in the century or so between Titanic and Titan.  It seems that, for rich and poor alike, the arrogance of greed will always be with us. (Terry Reeves)

(For those wondering what ‘CQD’ means, it was the first signal the wireless operator aboard Titanic used to call for assistance and means “All Stations.  Distress!” Later though, he did also transmit the more universally used code, ’SOS’). 
 
Underwater tour, down in deep watery waves
Two hundred and fifty thousand to visit the graves
The ghosts of 3rd class continue to descend 
Death has no pleasure, haunting message to send

Can’t believe 
No I can’t believe it’s happened again
It’s happened again ( x4)

Sad moments of time forgotten names of the past
Imagine the screaming ending in silent broadcast 
Locking caged doors using padlocks and chains
No consideration given to lower class remains

Can’t believe 
No I can’t believe it’s happened again
It’s happened again ( x4)

CQD, CQD, CQD, CQD….

Can’t believe 
No I can’t believe it’s happened again
It’s happened again ( x4)
 
The rich need to own hold what no one else has
A brief chance to look down on the poor and the sad?
Excepting the science knowing lessons to learn
But not for amusement boasting others to yearn

Can’t believe 
No I can’t believe it’s happened again
It’s happened again ( x4)

Arrogance sank ‘Titanic’ built for luxury and speed
Now laying very static on the bottom of the sea
Arrogance imploded the ‘Titan’ Carbon submarine 
Sadly reminding too much money can be obscene

Can’t believe,  No I can’t believe 
Can’t believe,  No I can’t believe it’s happened again
It’s happened again ( x12) 

Can’t believe, Can’t believe 

CQD, CQD, CQD, CQD….

Haunted Memories (Richsoundz, John Stone)

Performed & Produced by John Stone
Music John Stone
Lyrics Richsoundz, John Stone


All my thoughts, they're still bearing traces
Your face  imprinted deep upon my mind
And your melodic, lilting voice
Like I ain't really got no choice
They're staying here inside me for all time

Even when I lay me down to sleep
You're stalking all my dreams
I  can't leave you behind
Everywhere I  see the signs
You're always present and won't let me be
Your spirit follows me
Through the halls of haunted memories

All my thoughts past events they're chasing
With you beside me everywhere I go
Your perfume always trailing me
And everywhere your face I see
There’s nowhere I can go that you don’t show

Even when…


I never saw it come to this:
What started with a simple kiss
Then love grew and we thought we knew
That life was long if love was true
But that was never meant to be 
When fate took you away from me
Till death us part our sacred vow 
But though you’re gone I see you now

Your spirit  follows  me
Through the halls of haunted memories 
Your spirit follows me
Through the halls of haunted memories 
Your spirit …

New 6 track ambient EP inspired by all things ambient

The Album Ends

I exercise every day and I watch what I eat
I count my calories on myfitness pal and I try not to cheat
I apply my sunscreen diligently, so I don’t get sunburn on my head
I try to sleep for eight hours each night when I go to bed

Every time I look in the mirror, I try to squint my eyes
Cause every time I look in the mirror, it makes realize
That all the things I’m doing, to try to stop the decline
Maybe I should just take it easy and have a good time

There’s a 45-year-old tech tycoon getting transfusions from his teenage son
He’s a modern-day vampire, trying to stay young
He spends two million dollars a year trying to reduce his age
He’s like a chimpanzee in a lab, experimenting on himself in a cage

They say that you’re only as old as you feel and that may be true
But if you’re a hundred  and you hit on a 20 year old 
people are goanna judge you
I think that guy should try to get a blood transfusion from Keith Richards
Cause that guy’s done everything wrong and he’s still going strong

Every time I look in the mirror, I try to squint my eyes
Cause every time I look in the mirror, it makes realize
That all the things I’m doing, to try to stop the decline
Maybe I should just take it easy and have a good time

All the things I’m doing, to try to stop the decline
Maybe I should just take it easy and have a good time

Stop The Decline

lyrics-
you give me chills -you give me fever
you make me ill- you make me quiver
i know i gotta break this cycle of woe
how can i when youre in my head everywhere i go?
so i slip down deeper - nowhere else to go
getting weaker - i just cant say no

you make me sweat you make me rage
you make me rust you make me smaller and amaller and smaller and smaller and small

i know i gotta stop this spiral
i know i gotta break this cycke of woe
just cant seem to find the right road - keep my feet upon the right road

you give me thrills you give me the fear
you make me blind you make me hear things- louder and louder and louder and loud

i know i gotta stop this spiral i know i gotta break this cycle of woe
just cant seem to find the right road - keep my feet upon the right road

what would i be? who would i be ? without you
