GRIEVING HEART


Grieving heart – I took the part of a dog lost in the woods
Grieving heart – tethered to the bushes and crying out all I could
I shed the pain, sheltered the shame and moved from where I stoodTo where suffering is just a word, to fly is for the birds and what I understood
My grieving heart wasn’t doing me any good



Grieving heart – it’s time to start beating like you should
Grieving heart – pounded into submission by making it on foot
I took the blame, got rid of the chains that kept me from living right
I took stock of it all, stopped it from a fall and saw within my sight, my grieving heart said enough with this fight


Grieving heart, grieving heart, grieving heart, grieving heart


You’ve got a lot of nerve, to put me on that curve and take me so off course
Now I’m back with a plan, you’re not gonna stand in the way of my force
My grieving heart said to feel no remorse
Grieving heart, grieving heart, grieving heart, grieving heart

Grieving Heart

I'm slipping away 

I'm slipping away

I'm slipping away

To the dark....

The voices whisper

The shadows... they play

I'm trapped in a world that's fading away

I try to remember of what then

I used to be

But the memory's blurred

Like a distant melody

Uh huh!

Cause I'm slipping away

Into the dark

My mind's a maze and I'm loosing my spark

I'm chasing the highs but the lows are so real I'm loosing my grip and I'm starting 

To feel low...

Oh no!

Maybe someday I'll find my way back

To the world that's real

And to a mind... that's... intact

But until then I'm lost in space

A prisoner of my own addictive ways

I'm slipping away... into the dark

My mind's a maze and

I'm loosing my way to my

Addictive ways 



Slipping Away to Addictive Ways

Slipping Away

"Seeker's Frustration" is an ambient electronic track inspired by a vivid dream, capturing the frustration of an endless quest and elusive desires. This personal piece reflects inner conflicts and themes from Carl Jung's theories, such as the clash between desires and practicality. Initially hesitant to share, I released it to see how it resonates with others. Explore the surreal depths of this dream

The Seeker's Frustration

This is a love song. A song that was brought to life from a broken heart. We've all been there...no?
I hope you enjoy! ;)

LYRICS(SPANISH) 
Que de malo en mi, no siento nada, 
no siento nada desde que te fuiste, no siento nada

Dos querpos en uno, tu piel tus ohos tus lavios, 
mi alma sangra, mia alma sangra cada vez que te requerda
extraño, la intimidad, extraño la intimidad

Mi alma sangra mi alma sangra cada vez que te requerda
extraño, extraño lo que tuvimos huntos 
Dos querpos en uno, tu piel tus ohos tus lavios 
Lo que tuvimos huntos,
No siento nada…

ENGLISH TRANSLATION

What's wrong with me, I don't feel anything, 
I haven't felt since you left, I haven't felt anything

Two bodies in one, your skin, your eyes, your lips, 
my soul bleeds, my soul bleeds every time I remember you
I miss the intimacy, I miss the intimacy

My soul bleeds, my soul bleeds every time I remember you
I miss, I miss being together with you
Two bodies in one, your skin, your eyes, your lips 
What we had together,
I don't feel anything...

Nada

When your the only one who can truly hold you back
no one has that power over you, they my try to break you down
but knowing your unbreakable is your strength   
and being able to bounce back from a bad situation means you have the strength to move forward, always bounce back.

Bounce Back

🐺 whole lotta howlin 🐺

I cry for the world

I'm not sleeping so well these days

This world's on fire

And it's got me so worried


I see.... Burning Homes

Burning Trees

Burning Lies

And our Burning Fate


Is it possible...possible

Is it possible...Is it possible

Come On!


Fight as a human race

To find solutions that respect 

And embrase our differences


Build Bridges Not Walls

Make Love and Not War


Is is is is is it possible


It is possible

If you stand for what's right

It is possible

If we challenge the greedy

New order reiche

It is possible

If we do the right thing

Stand Strong

Oppose who's strings are being pulled

When everything is going wrong


I'm tired of being their puppet

Aren't you!


Make love and not war

We can all be one

Knowing this enlightenment

Enjoy life and come in pure consciousness

Unified field of all matter


Everything is possible

If you just decide you want to do it

Everything is possible

Come and join the fight

Everything is possible

Come on my friend

Consciousness unite

To become one tonight

I need to put my headphones on

The voices are so loud...

I feel so much safer when I'm locked in my     closet 'cause I'm never good...

It's a real pain to be lost in my brain

I'm suddenly gone but then I'm back 

But not the same


They said there is something wrong with me

I'm suddenely gone then I come back but I'm not the same,oh my lord

They tell me I want to be a good girl

But I don't know how


They tell me I'm bad 'n to take my pills

But I don't

Cause I wanna be wild and go to hell

...Oh yeah


The voices tell me what to think

But it's sending chills down my spine


You know I'm not like everybody else

Peuh, Too bad for them


But mama you're so so sillIy 

I'm gonna have to make you pay

Keep the lights off and try to find me

But be quiet

Cause the voices are listening to us

Sssh....very quiet


It's really a pain

To be lost in my brain

Then I'm suddenly gone

Then even sooner back again

What is my name

What do you think

You can call me whatever you want

But I won't answer or obey

Cause it's fun

To be hiding away

To glide down on the rails

Leadin' to hell

Then there before

And I'll come up for air

The demon is watching me pull the hair out of my head and you can sit and watch and sit there and stare at the shadows on the walls

And danse to my beat and pass through the walls and go into your room and take out my knife...

And cut you up because

 'cause you're a bad mother

And now you will pay



So Skit So

Rough and ready lo-fi troubadour blues. More off-key and forlorn than usual.

Lyrics:
Oh, that bartender
He moved to his own
Sweet slow ass time
In getting back those drinks 
To feed my mainline
You asked me about my guitar
I've been far
But tonight
I am playing this bar

I could be gone soon
Maybe I could explain it to you
a little later
In my motel room?
There's a Gideon Bible
Right there in the drawer 
It's revelation about our sin
They're always gonna try to change ya
I think you're forgiven
You're  just
Welcoming a stranger

I've been far
But tonight, I am
I am playing this bar

All this joyful noise
I sing it for you
All the loneliness
And the  cacophony, too
It's my troubadour blues

My melancholy
The useless beauty
I feel like I'm  living life in another man's shoes
You asked me about my guitar
I've been far
But tonight, I am
I am playing this bar...

All This Useless Beauty (Troubadour Blues)

I got my first hate mail the other day
I guess that must mean I'm doing okay.
I'm in the forge but I'm no forgery
Being made like a blade
Come and play with me.
People like to call themselves by all kinds of pretty names
But they're just labels to help them play the game.
It's time to say goodbye. I gotta go
And I won't see you again
I think you know.
I'll keep on walking the way I like to walk
And I'll keep on talking the way I like to talk
And If I meet somebody who sees the light in me
This time I'll double check the truth in what I see.

Brand NEW track "Thought I Was Dreaming", taken from the "Ultraviolet Cosmos" upcoming full length STA album (2025). Enjoy y'all #share, #like, #follow and comment of course. :D

lyrics:
I've been dreaming for so long
and never woke up back to reality
i never thought it could take so long
to learn such a solid morality

Thought i was screaming, nightmares dreaming
and it's time not to hide away
It's time for breathing, 
forget about those golden years so fly away

And then i opened my eyes and realize
that neon lights blinded my side
and it's time to get up my feet again
and regain what's mine and never let it again.

(p) & (c) STA, 2025.

Thought I Was Dreaming

Copyright 2025 Joe Stroffolino
Lyrics:
Some people say these are the best of times, Other people say times are bad.  But don’t you know it’s always a good time when you’re around.
You always have something good to say, even on the most miserable day.

All it take is a smile from you and they sky turns from grey to blue
You’re a ray of sunshine, busting  through the clouds.
You make me turn up the music play it loud


Play it loud, you make me turn up the music play it loud.
Play it loud, you make me turn up the music play it loud.
You make me turn up the music play it loud.

Some people say this town has seen better days
 but everything looks good to me
Cause don’t you know that when you’re by my side, that’s the only place I want to be.  
Every time I see your beautiful face, I know I’m living in the right place

All it take is a smile from you and they sky turns from grey to blue
You’re a ray of sunshine, busting  through the clouds.
You make me turn up the music play it loud

Play it loud, you make me turn up the music play it loud.
Play it loud, you make me turn up the music play it loud.
You make me turn up the music play it loud.

All it take is a smile from you and they sky turns from grey to blue
You’re a ray of sunshine, busting  through the clouds.
You make me turn up the music play it loud
You make me turn up the music, Turn up the music, Turn up the music play it loud.

Don't Mess With The Lemonade Man 🍋

Cast of Characters:
Joe Stroffolino-- @joseph-stroffolino -- Taylor 114ce acoustic guitar, main vocals, harmony vocals, lyrics, composition
Llanpsych -- @llanpsych -- Tez – Fender HSS Telecaster electric guitar
TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman –Stephen– Tom Anderson Custom T electric guitar, mix, mastering, and production
Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark – piano
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara -–Ken–drums
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1 –- four string Fender Precision Bass with a plectrum

This song began as one of Joe's catchy, lyrically centered songs, which he wrote on his acoustic guitar, and filled in with VST instruments. He came up with the lyrics by sharing ideas with fellow SoundCloud musician Michele Ansani, who began the thought process of a song about becoming a musician.
Knowing that Josh is a fan of his work, Joe offered this song to him in hopes that he'd share it with the rest of the band. Of course, Josh jumped at the opportunity to work on his song, and immediately shared it with the rest of the group.
Ken went to work first, adding his driving, excting drums. Josh was having a hard time coming up with a good bass line for it, until Ken suggested that he use the power of the 1/8 note to propel it. Tez was up next with his clever fills you hear throughout the first half of the song. Stephen came along right after and matched Tez's energy for the guitar fills in the second half of the song.
It was still missing a solo in the designated spot, though, so Mark stepped up with his innovative piano solo you hear in the middle. If it sounds a little mechanical, that's because he's using an arpeggiator to achieve the effect. We thought it sounded good in a song about AI, though.
Once all the parts were dialed in, and Joe had gotten all his vocals tuned up, we asked one of our resident pros, Stephen, to mix it for us. He did that and mastered it, too, expertly, as always.
This is the first song we've ever done with Joe, and don't expect it to be the last. We all really enjoyed putting together, in no small part because Joe is such a competent, receptive, and gracious collaborator. We all hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Lyrics by Michele Ansani and Joe Stroffolino
Music by Joe Stroffolino (@joseph-stroffolino)

When I was thirteen I picked up my first guitar
it was my mother's, it only had one nylon string
I tried to play it like a rock star
I learned to play the Coca-Cola jingle
So I could teach the world to sing
When I was fourteen, I put on six new strings
I learned to play Beatles, I learned a Bob Dylan song
I sounded out of tune but I tried to carry on
At fifteen I wrote my first original tune
So bad it sounded like it might have been written by a baboon
When I was sixteen, I got a new guitar for my birthday
The metal strings sawed through my fingers
But I continued to play
And the calluses formed and every day I learned a brand new chord
I was obsessed with that guitar and I never grew bored.
I wrote songs every day and most of them were a mess
But I believed that through hard work, I could achieve success
Malcom Gladwell wrote a book that said it takes ten thousand hours
To become and expert at your craft
But now all it takes is two commands and an enter
And in two minutes you have ten versions of the same damn new song,
You just have to choose the type
folk, rock, rap, pop, metal, jazz, trap or blues.
You don't even need to write the lyrics,
your push a few buttons let the AI choose.

And people will think your songs are great even though you didn’t write or play a single note.
When I was 20, I did my first concert, it was time
it occurred in a village square
there were four cats all friends of mine
I was still using the plectrum and sometimes I got the chords wrong
at thirty I finally wrote what I thought was a decent song
It had a very well thought out structure

For the people who don't know, in Greece 2 years ago today 2 trains crashed into each other, one with passengers, and 57 people tragically died. (some sources say even more). For anyone who wants to know more about this search "Tempi Greece". I made this song with an aim to have more people know about this, since a lot of protesting will be taking place in Greece today. I usually don't put out the lyrics of my music but for this song  i did.
Lyrics:

for the ones who never got a final chance to say goodbye
for the ones who lost their mothers, or their fathers in that night
for the children that are resting in the afterlife, and cry
cause some fucking politician didn't pay enough to fight
for the students traveling to broaden their horizons
for the 57 lives and more allegedly we standing
and if you're not going to protest for the better of the world,
you contribute to the fight by turning up this fucking song


mom I'm sorry i aint show how much i loved you enough
took every moment for granted and now i rest from above
and now i wish that all the things i didn't do I'd have done
instead of saying " do it later" to myself every  time

i wish i could have survived, and everyone on that day
and if they didn't, wish i did so i could fight for their name
and be along all of the people who are fighting for me
but now a name i am in a list from the deaths from a train

sister, brother, mother, father, cousin, uncle, aunt, and friends
sorry that i never did enough for you, i make amends
and i hope that nothing ever happens to you like to me
none deserve to have to go through, that tragic fate like i did


when i was struggling to breathe and suffocating in tears,
all of the screams and cries were heard i wished i could cut my ears
the man in contact with the services was struggling to talk
and suddenly everything around me just into black 


for the ones who never got a final chance to say goodbye
for the ones who lost their mothers, or their fathers in that night
for the children that are resting in the afterlife, and cry
cause some fucking politician didn't pay enough to fight
for the students traveling to broaden their horizons
for the 57 lives and more allegedly we standing
and if you're not going to protest for the better of the world,
you contribute to the fight by turning up this fucking song


δεν εχω οξυγονο, δεν εχω οξυγονο
γιαυτο κυκλοφορούνε σημερα με καπνογονο
100 χιλιαδες ανθρωποι μιλανε για 100
ισως πρεπει ο πολιτης να γινει πολιτικος


take a breath and leave it know that's what that person needed then
everything we take for granted is ungranted with our death
so be happy while you have everything given by default
cause  the families that lost their children, it wasn't their fault


3 times in the same spot as far as we know
it was about time we did something about it
and I'm glad the younger generation is in the mature spot
while some older people  tell you not to worry about it


now lets show that it is time to get away from the past
set examples for a future with no suffering inside it

but for now we honor the people we lost inside that train
rest in peace, cause ugh peace, what would we do without it


for the ones who never got a final chance to say goodbye
for the ones who lost their mothers, or their fathers in that night
for the children that are resting in the afterlife, and cry
cause some fucking politician didn't pay enough to fight
for the students traveling to broaden their horizons
for the 57 lives and more allegedly we standing
and if you're not going to protest for the better of the world,
you contribute to the fight by turning up this fucking song

Sorry, I won't come home today

All these people who claim they were abducted by alien UFO’s
They say they took them up onto the spaceship and examined them from head to toe.
Most people think those stories are made up, but what if they’re actually true
It kind of makes you wonder what motivates those aliens to do the things they do
If I ever get abducted by aliens from outer space, I think I might ask if I could hitch a ride off this crazy place. 
People who believe we couldn’t have built the pyramids without alien assistance
There’s days when I can’t find my car keys without lots of searching and persistence. 
Maybe we’re just 2 legged creatures and the earth’s an exotic alien zoo. 
And they come here on safari to see what we’re up to
If I ever get abducted by aliens from outer space, I think I might ask if I could hitch a ride off this crazy place. 
Even if they don’t consider me to be much better than a trained monkey
I could play my guitar to cheer them up whenever they feel grumpy.
They say the speed of light is as fast as you can possibly go
Maybe those aliens have access to information we don’t know
Maybe they just look at us in the same way scientists study bugs
They read the work of our most brilliant minds and they just shrug
Maybe someday if we start World War three, they’ll stop the missiles from firing
Or maybe they’ll just let us blow ourselves up because they find our behavior so tiring
Maybe someday if they think we’re ready, they’ll land a spaceship in times square
And although they’re usually naked, they’ll put on some underwear
If I ever get abducted by aliens from outer space, I think I might ask if I could hitch a ride off this crazy place. 
Even if they don’t consider me to be much better than a trained monkey
I could play my guitar to cheer them up whenever they feel grumpy.
There's days on earth when it feels like it might be kind of nice to get away
And getting abducted by aliens just might be okay.

If I Ever Get Abducted

RIP Eddie Jordan.

What an absolute legend you are.

You slayed the dragon man...


https://youtu.be/R22nxVYLaBQ?si=f6703K1jBvuIrr8B
This is the 1998 Belgian GP. Absolute carnage at the start. The Jordan boys survived it and we won and got second. I remember Eddie's side on camera shot like a video. No expression. Stunned. No other human being had done this before and will ever do it again. A private team beating all the money! Pure heart! and a bit of luck ☘️ (Brawn GP doesn't count... they developed that car with Hondas money)

https://youtu.be/93QKt44OsIU?si=E_hvp81hKf89WEIE
This is the 2003 Brazilian GP. We won it again. However Ron Dennis the snake he is tried to bend the rules because of the unsual finish so, wrongly McLaren got presented the trophy... Dennis was a dick! We got the trophy next week when they read the rules on lap count back and finishing the race early because of an accident

https://youtu.be/_KLjvuNCD3U?si=ZASzEErF79FzkCtY
This was EJ's third win and in my opinion the most satisfying. This race we won on pace. This race the universe said an Irish man lead a team that built the fastest racing car in the world for that day. That's different to winning with 7 cars left and solidified EJ as man myth legend forever ♾️


After retiring as a team boss... Eddie became the best F1 pundit around. Famous for his inside knowledge he was always the one with the saucy stories haha... Add to that one of the best sense of humours you can get...

Eddie was also a fine drummer and loved his music.

 I remember reading the headline when Senna got taken on teletext... "Senna clinically dead... " I ran to my room and cried on my own thinking I shouldn't be upset about this I didn't know him... Today are my next tears for an F1 legend and I knew enough about him for this to hurt too.

You will be sorely missed Eddie

Rest in Peace you absolute incredible human

A chuga- chuga good time blues song (ZZ Top meets Chuck Berry) about not indulging in vices. Also, race car driving.

Lyrics:
Hey friends, you know I need to give up drinking
It's tearing up my guts
But still, I'm over eating
It leaves me so perplexed
I've got to give up that 
Marijuana
It makes me malleable
Lackadaisical
Like a slow-motion hex
I've got to give up this pornography
Because it's fucking up my sex

(chorus) Oh, you've got to give up a little something
To get yourself a little bit more(2X)

Take that race car around the bend
Put the hammer down
This could be the end?
Or maybe it could be good fortune shining on your door!

I've got to stop spending so much time on the internet
It makes my attention small
I never, ever finish what I start
I've got to give up these perfumed flavored vapes
The smell reminds me
Of the woman who were 
'In love' 
With me
But now they are
'In hate'
I've got to give up the women with dark circles under their eyes
The nighttime lies
That I take
And I paint
In my darkest arts

I've got an extremely high tolerance for risk
It's more than I can take
(yeah)
Tell my friends and family
To book me a heavy metal band
For my wake
I'm gonna say to everybody
Hey, do you see that coming?
That's my Mojo rising
On the horizon
Stop criticizing
I'm just waiting for my big break
(chorus)

Take that race car around the bend
Drop the hammer down
It could be the end?
With self control
You could get the win!
You've got to give up a little something
To get yourself a little bit more...

More! (or) How I learned To Get Ahead

What to say about Maximilian?
There are so many things to be told: a lifetime of 24 years, full of special moments, joys, fears, sorrows, worries, hopes, dreams, ups, downs, progress, regress, searching, finding, winning, losing, restlessness, peace...
His life had begun with an extremely difficult birth, almost as if the world didn’t want him. They told us he had a life-threatening infection, there were probably holes in his lungs and he obviously had no kidneys. In total, his chances of surviving were exceedingly slim. However, after endless weeks of both despair and hope, he overcame the infection, the diagnosis of holes in his lungs turned out to be totally wrong and they even discovered a kidney.  Just one maybe but at least it worked perfectly.  His journey into existence had begun.
As he grew, so did the never-ending nightmare of problems, challenges and battles, until we began to wonder what could possibly happen next.  Through it all, Max took every opportunity to accumulate extreme experiences - never hiding, always   seeking.  For that, we loved him even more…and even more it broke our hearts that we couldn’t help him find what he was looking for.
But suddenly, as the Summer of 2011 dawned, his troubles seemed to merely fade away.  Was he just arriving in life, coming of age, finding his place in society?  To be honest, we hadn’t the faintest idea.  But it was abundantly clear that, having always been an underdog, that same unwelcoming world had simply started to like and respect him.  He began to realise his many talents, enjoying his job as never before, finally becoming something he had never been - happy.
Fast forward to the gorgeous Summer evening of June 28th, the eve of a 4-week vacation to which he had been looking forward so very much.  A smile on his face, he said he was in the mood to go jogging, something he loved. Sometimes, he ran and ran for ages.  He’d been gone about 3 hours, quite a long time even for him, so Carina called his phone and he answered, cheerfully telling her not to worry and assuring her he’d be home very soon.  Seconds after the call, out of the blue, he collapsed.  A pulmonary embolism.  They told us he died instantly. 
Max, we have no words for what happened, nor for the eternal gratitude we feel for every single second of your life.  We do know we will never stop loving you.”
(Hans & Carina Albers)

Small chance of survival, words from the first day
Stretching all emotions not a single which way
Asking whys and reasons, a chance to breathe long
Heartbreaking moments, hopes remained strong

Such a short distance, but a life running miles
Bring every sensation, fear to a million smiles
Experience not forgotten, continuous hug of care      
Born with fighting spirit, giving back more to share

24 years of love, no single regret
24 years of love, never to forget

Every challenge building, inner muscles to be felt
Secret ways to be happy, never question hand dealt         
Complication of thinking to find a new sentence 
Pathways to friendships, dreams of acceptance

24 years of love, no single regret
24 years of love, never to forget

A vision full of truth with strength to admire
Finding a hidden talent, past helping to aspire 
No journey of distance could prevent direction
A phone call assurance became last connection

It’s hard to find words, express feelings remaining 
Deep down inside shell, empty, sad, self-complaining 
But we will never forget our boy hero from birth
Brought love and kindness, past and future unblurred

24 years of love, no single regret
24 years of love, will never forget
24 years of love…

J'ai Perdu Mon Temps - IGO

Songs with a twinge of humor (and some a bit more serious).  
I do not use AI to create my songs. 
Recently I have had the urge to pick up my guitars (Taylor 114ce and Fender Squire) and I have been trying to use more guitar in my songs.  
My go to .vst plug ins are  EZkeys 2, EZ Bass and  EZ drummer 3) and my DAW is Logic Pro 11. 
I welcome your comments and enjoy listening to all the great music on SoundCloud.
