Humans are the only species who preserve a lasting relationship from parents to children and vice versa after the offspring has reached adolescence. This can be curse and blessing at the same time in some cases, but overall it is a gift in my view. We will stay the children of our parents for a lifetime obviously. Once you have realized this and don't consider it a threat anymore you are given the chance to close the circle in a peace- and beautiful way.

One Day When it was Time to Come Home

With deep sub-bass, haunting ambient layers, and a chant-style hook that lingers like a secret, this track captures the aching need for truth in a world of emotional half-measures. It's intimate. It's raw. It's beautifully wrecked. Perfect for late-night drives, memory spirals, and anyone who’s ever begged a moment not to fade. Hit repeat. Say it again.

Lyrics:

You said, “Let’s not fall—let’s float.”
But I was already sinking.
You lit the match, I held the smoke.
Now I’m thinking…

You trace circles on my wrist,
Like you’re reading some old myth.
Every scar a little wish
You never asked for, but still kissed.

I tried to be still, but I break too loud,
Like thunder in rooms where quiet’s allowed.
And when I laughed, you held your breath—
Like joy could burn us both to death.

We’re a maybe dressed in yesterdays,
Two souls with nowhere safe to stay.

Say it again like you mean it this time,
That I’m more than a place you survived.
Say it again—yeah, lie if you must—
I just need one word I can trust.
Say it again.
Say it again.
Say it again… before it fades.

I kept your note inside my shoe,
So I’d always walk a little like you.
You keep your past under your tongue—
Bitter, but it helps you run.

We built a house on borrowed ground,
Called it love, but never stuck around.
Still, you haunt me sweet and low,
Like a song I swear I used to know.

We’re a maybe dressed in yesterdays,
Too close to stay, too real to fade.

Say it again like you mean it this time,
That I’m more than a place you survived.
Say it again—yeah, lie if you must—
I just need one word I can trust.
Say it again.
Say it again.
Say it again…

Were we truth, or just a ghost with hands?
Did we ever stand a chance?
If you can’t stay, then leave a sound—
Just don’t let silence take me down.

Say it again like you never let go,
Like the night still wants to know.
Say it again while I’m still here,
Make it love or make it clear.
Say it again.
Say it again.
Say it again…

…before it fades.



Say It Again

I had a dream, and I wrote this song not to forget it. 

Technical highlights: hand played bass, slightly odd riff on chorus (15/2) & some extra psychedelia.

Pic & sounds taken with my phone during a recent experience which could help me understand the dream, maybe…

Letra  /  Lyrics:

NÍMOR (No sé dónde estoy)  /  NÍMOR (I don’t know where I am)

Entré en la sala sin hacer ruido,  /  I entered the room making no noise,
los pocos que vi eran desconocidos,  /  the few ones I saw were strangers,
busqué una cama que estuviera libre y dormí.  /  I looked for a spare bed and slept.

Al día siguiente no encontré mi sitio,   /  The following day I didn’t find my place,
todo estaba lleno de desconocidos,  /  the whole room was full of strangers,
me di la vuelta para salir y te vi.  /  I turned around to leave and I saw you.

Nímor, no sé dónde estoy...  /  Nímor, I don’t know where I am...
Nímor, no sé quién eres…  /  Nímor, I don’t know who you are …

La cama de al lado estaba vacía,  /  The bed at your side was empty,
y me preguntaste si la quería,  /  and you asked if I wanted it,
la quise y pronto nos hicimos amigos,  /  I did and soon we became friends,
desconocidos.  /  strangers.

Nímor, no sé dónde estoy...  /  Nímor, I don’t know where I am...
Nímor, no sé quién eres…  /  Nímor, I don’t know who you are …
Nímor, no sé qué pasa…  /  Nímor, I don’t know what’s going on...
Nímor, no sé dónde estoy...  /  Nímor, I don’t know where I am...

Te pregunté “¿cómo se llama este sitio?”  /  I asked you "what’s the name of this place?"
y me contestaste que estaba contigo,  /  and you answered that I was with you,
y sin darme cuenta te quise mucho y dormí.  /  and unconsciously I loved you so and slept.

Ahora del sueño ya me he despertado,  /  Now from the dream I’ve already woken,
tu nombre lamento no haber preguntado,  /  your name I regret not having asked,
te llamaré como el sitio en que te conocí.  /  I’ll call you like the place where I met you.

Nímor (…)  /  Nímor (…)

Lyrics :
Baby no me pidas que me aparte
Yo ya te he buscado en todas partes
Solamente vengo a recordarte que estoy
Imaginandote
Una y otra vez
Que tu estas aqui conmigo
Acariciandome
No seas timido
Dejate querer
Que si dudas te prometo
Que vas a volver

No tengo miedo
Soy un kamikaze
Mi imaginacion se prende con lo que me haces
Diario yo te pienso
Te tengo en mis suenos
Eres el motor para escribir todos mis versos
No te voy a mentir te quiero todo pa mi

Lyrics
Lost in the night, under silver beams, Drifting through cosmic, endless dreams. 
A thousand lights whisper my name, Guiding me home through time and flame.

Stars above, shining so bright, Lighting up the lonely night. Tell me tales of space and time, Sing me songs, make the world divine.

Fullness

we can get distracted by flashing lights,spectacular presentations,glitz and glamor ...It is important to seek out things/people/leaders with real qualities not false promises and slick pandering
lyrics

giant rosebush blood red bright
lilac tree deep purple delight
spectacular to see for sure
but what interests me the more
are the tiny flowers that you see
growing in the grass singly
not loud not bold not flashy not sassy
It doesn't take much to make them happy

flashy dresser latest styles
manicured nails and botox  smile
glitters in the dim daylight
attracting many to his site
but what I want, what I seek
is not someone that just throws off heat
but instead is simply warm inside
who doesn't need glitz and glitter
to be satisfied

like a moth drawn to a light
we often seek the cheap delight
and gather around in mindless worship
of something that it truly worthless
so when you choose a light to follow
be sure its source is not bare and hollow

choose wisely

Bid me to live, and I will live
Thy protestant to be;
Or bid me love, and I will give
A loving heart to thee.

A heart as soft, a heart as kind,
A heart as sound and free,
As in the whole world thou canst find,
That heart I'll give to thee.

Bid that heart stay, and it will stay,
To honour thy decree;
Or bid it languish quite away,
And 't shall do so for thee.

Bid me to weep, and I will weep,
While I have eyes to see;
And having none, yet I will keep
A heart to weep for thee.

Bid me despair, and I'll despair,
Under that cypress tree;
Or bid me die, and I will dare
E'en death, to die for thee.

Thou art my life, my love, my heart,
The very eyes of me;
And hast command of every part,
To live and die for thee.



To Anthea , who may Command him Anything (A poem by Robert Herrick)

A dear friend asked me if I wanted to set one of his poems to music. Well, I did. And this is what came out of it...

The title of the poem is “Augenblick”, which means "moment", but literally “blink of an eye”.

Augenblick (by Hans H. Hiebel)

Tender day
The eye-lid of the night
Has opened
Time
Is twinkling at us
And because everything is divided
And must be divided
We twinkle back
And death
Closes the lid


Composition, vocal, guitar and piano by Joliz.

The track wouldn't be the same without Robert S. Dean... Thank you!

Take me away so I can be free
Sweet melody won’t you take hold of me

Turn me around
And show me the door
I don’t hear that sound 
It’s hard to ignore

Years disappear
into the darkened skies
there’ll come a day
That we rise

Take me away so I can be free
Sweet fantasy won’t you take hold of me

I’m Taking the wheel
And closing the gate
Make me believe
Before it’s too late

All in a day
The senses just wanna feel
No more to say
it’s unreal…

Take me away so I can be free
Sweet melody won’t you take hold of me

Take Me Away

Time to get satirical with the US political dystopia, or maybe I'm just a  little touchy after all the threats to Canada, both political and economic (not pondering the military  threat to allies)
Sorry if this is offensive to any US-based listeners. Sorry, not sorry ;)

 Lyrics:
They've all come around on bended knee
Kissing the a-a-a-ass of a once and future king
They fought a war to get rid of a crown
Only to give it away to an autocratic clown
(how come you misjudge me so...

Pick on immigrants, round them all up
Doesn't matter if they're the ones who fill your shops
With all the merchandise and food that you just can't ignore
So you haul them off to a foreign shore - a foreign shore -a foreign
(how come you misjudge me x2   ...so...)

I take a little salt, not on the tail
I like my golden jets, like my foreign jails
I talk of the land, the land of the "free"
Whatever you've got, just give it to me


How did you misjudge me (x3)
I am the claw, in the white flabby hand
(how could you misjudge me (x2)
Autocratic clown (x3)

* samples... "I am Oz, the great and powerful, who are you?", "I could shoot somebody on Fifth Ave..", "China has total respect for Donald Trump and  for Donald Trump's very, very large uh, brain"

L'été est de retour et vient de m'inspirer pour les paroles de cette chanson.
Bonne vacances à vous les amis et amies.
Un grand merci pour vos écoutes et commentaires.

Voyages au bout du monde
[Verse]
Youpih le soleil brille fort et haut
Les rires éclatent comme un cadeau
Main dans la main sur ce chemin
Des rêves naissent sous le destin

[Chorus]
Voyages au bout du monde en couleurs
Des cœurs battants pleins de bonheur
Belle nature éclaire nos jours
Un éternel et doux retour

[Verse 2]
Les montagnes chantent leur mélodie
La mer danse avec son harmonie
L'air frais caresse nos visages
Chaque instant devient un mirage

[Chorus]
Voyages au bout du monde en couleurs
Des cœurs battants pleins de bonheur
Belle nature éclaire nos jours
Un éternel et doux retour

[Bridge]
Lumière tard le soir jusqu'au coucher
Un tableau peint d'un ciel embrasé
Les étoiles guident nos pensées
Vers un avenir doux et enflammé

[Chorus]
Voyages au bout du monde en couleurs
Des cœurs battants pleins de bonheur
Belle nature éclaire nos jours
Un éternel et doux retour

Voyages au bout du monde

I have always been fascinated by the first Planet of the Apes movies so I thought I'd write a song about it. Special thanks to David (Hand on the Rock) for inspiring me to write this song and for helping me with the chorus lyrics.
***
In the planet of the ape’s movie in 1968
Astronauts crash landed on a planet that was in a sorry state
They stumbled across a society intelligent of apes who could speak
And there were humans, but they were mute and weak
They’d been asleep in their hibernation pods and 2006 years had elapsed
And somewhere during that time humanity had collapsed
And the astronauts didn’t realize they were on the planet where they’d been born as the apes hunted them and they hid in a field of corn
Just like Charlton Heston, we could be walking on that beach
To late to save our Lady Liberty, she’s been toppled sunk and breached
You maniacs you blew it up will we rant and rave like Chuck
Hope it’s not too late, who wants that monkey fate, hope we smarten up
I wonder what those apes are thinking as they’re sitting in their cages at the zoo
Are they biding their time, making plans for what they’re goanna do
Are they dreaming of the day when they’re on the other side of that glass wall
Are they patiently counting the minutes, waiting for humanities downfall
The apes killed one of the astronauts and they stuffed him and put him on display j
Just like trophy hunters do with animals today
The Astronaut named Taylor, he got shot in the throat
He was unable to talk, so he got a pen and showed the apes what he wrote
The apes realized he was intelligent, and it shook them to their core
And the forbidden zone was a place they weren’t supposed to explore
Taylor met a girl he named Nova, she couldn’t talk but she was pretty.
A couple of apes helped them escape to what used to be New York city
And they rode together on a horse on a beach that looked like the west coast
Until they found that statue and realized humanity was toast
Just like Charlton Heston, we could be walking on that beach
To late to save our Lady Liberty, she’s been toppled sunk and breached
You maniacs you blew it up will we rant and rave like Chuck
Hope it’s not too late, who wants that Monkey Fate, hope we smarten up
The planet of the ape’s is supposed to be science fiction
Let’s hope it doesn’t turn out to be an accurate depiction

Mark says - 
In the 5 years I have been working with Rod, I have been encouraged to reach as far as my experience allows me to, with complete support at all times. So far we have completed 11 songs and have experimented with several others that made for a great learning curve for me, with several more at other stages of development... Watch this space, however as we are methodical and patient, therefore it may take some time to get them off the ground.

The subject matter of this song may be based on a different scenario but it is also a token of my gratitude to my inspirational collaborator and friend Rod, who has given me much confidence to rise to the ambition of his musical creativity and meticulous arrangements. Thank you all for giving this song your time.

Rod says - 
This song was conceived a long time ago to be sung in Spanish, but Mark did a magnificent adaptation with his English lyrics, and the meaning is 100% faithful to the original spirit, even though he hadn't heard the original song in Spanish. Technically, there are three voices together, consolidating a multi-vocal performance. The synth sounds emulate my old analog and FM synths, and the guitars were routed through an old console to achieve the vintage sound I was looking for.

Thank You (Rodolfo Planes/Mark J Bennett)

I would like to tell you just how grateful I am,
And also how important you’ve been here in my life.
I know I don’t need to draw you a diagram,
Thank you for being there all this time as my wife.
I have to tell you just how good you’ve been for me,
And I hope that I have also been there for you,
When you needed me through all this trouble and strife.
 
No need to show me all of your gratitude,
I already know how much you show that you care,
When you were prepared to move to my latitude,
Then I was convinced I was ready to share,
My life with you whatever it threw at the both of us.
I know that it’s true, no matter what you care to say.
I’ll always need to express all of my thanks to you 
This will always be true on that I swear.
 
I would like to tell you just how grateful I am,
And also how important you’ve been in, in my life.
I have to tell you just how good you’ve been for me,
And I hope that I have also been there for you,
When you needed me through all this trouble and strife.
Then I was sure that I was ready to share,
My whole life with you, whatever that meant for the both of us.
I know that it’s true, whatever you say.

Verse]
My foreign feet in a foreign land
I’ve never walked these streets before
But they speak of tales from long ago 
The sun paints gold on cobblestones
Oh, the stories they could tell
In Akrotiri

[Verse]
The ruins speak of ancient dreams
Lives cut down in a hot rush 
from burning lava streams
The legends say 
Lost souls still dance on the floor of the Aegean Sea
In Akrotiri

[Chorus]

With your history and your mysteries 
Red beaches and azure-blue seas
gray volcanic ash and sapphire streams
The people are warm and gracious
You can lose and find yourself in the beauty 
Of Akrotiri

[Verse]
The food’s a symphony on my tongue
 olive oil, fresh herbs, and feta bread 
Souvlaki sizzles on the grill and the wine runs red
They celebrate the living
They celebrate the dead

[Verse]

They speak of gods and battles fought
Of wisdom learned and lessons taught
The old men's misty eyes shine
As the young men recite 
chapters read and memorized from the Iliad
In Akrotiri

[Bridge]
Strings of a bouzouki hum through the night
The moon glows and the stars shine bright
I inhale the scent of Jasmine
I dance with strangers who feel like kin 
In Akrotiri

[Chorus]

With your history and your mysteries 
Red beaches and azure, blue seas
gray volcanic ash and sapphire streams
The people are warm and gracious
You can lose and find yourself in the beauty 
In Akrotiri

I’ve come a stranger to this sacred land
I leave...a friend
 I leave a part of my heart beating
In Akrotiri

Akrotiri

Made by us

Let Lovers Rule!
Let all lovers rule the world
so that we will get a world without hate and war
and only sympathy is the law
that's my dream of a love regime

In my fantasy a world of love is what we need

Hate, violence, fear, guilt it all will be banned
no leaders who have the country in their bloody hand
with tolerance we respect gender, age, nation
with love as guide money looses its station

It's my dream you know what I mean

Let all lovers rule the world
no more alpha males with their evil will
no tyrants who let kill
with a thirst they can never fill
but churches for all or none at all
teach love, compassion and to forgive

In my dream you know what I mean

It's my fantasy, no me but we
take my hand

In a world filled with hope there's no need to fight
replace hate with understanding, all unite
guided by love, we don't let each other fall
offering kindness and support for and from all

It's my dream come on and help me!

Let all lovers rule the world
so that we will get a world without hate and war
and only sympathy is the law
that's my dream of a love regime

Let Lovers Rule

[Verse]
 I gave my honey, a honey-do-list
Honey said "no-can-do, did you, forget about my fishing trip?
 I'll do it when I get back, you can count on that
I'll be back in a week, baby you sure look sweet"

[Verse]

I woke up this morning, made my coffee with Bailey's Irish cream
I have the house to myself for a week, every married woman's dream
I'm planning my day, full of nothing but me 
Maybe tidy up the house a little, maybe do some light laundry

[Bridge]

I’m thinking bubble baths, a little day drinkin'
Clear my head, with a little less thinkin'
Got my bunny slippers on and a book in my hand
But the universe
Oooh She had other plans

[Chorus]
When life gives you lemons you squeeze ‘em real tight
Add a little sugar and you’ll be alright
I bet you a fiver, I can fix this like MacGyver
 I can be a "fix- it" chick
I can get it get it fixed quick 


[Verse]
Oh No! The washer’s spinning like it’s ready to launch
I try to open the damn lid, but the lid is locked 
It might help if I set down my glass of Merlot
Let's see how this is gonna go 
 I'll watch a washer repair You-Tube video

I got this
(ay, ay, ay,)
I got this 
(ay, ay, ay)

[Verse]

I sit down to relax with a rum and coke
Oh no! The dog ate the remote
I poke her belly, to turn the TV on 
She looks at me like, Dog Mom? seriously?
 Thank God the last channel I was watchin'
was Crime TV

I got this
I got this

The garbage disposal is on the fritz
Honestly, I don't need any of this, 
I grab the broom handle, lodge it against the blades 
 I grind in a circular motion, with a firm hold
Just like a stripper on a stripper pole

(I'm just kidding) 

I got this
I got this

[Chorus]
When life gives you lemons you squeeze ‘em real tight
Add a little sugar and you’ll be alright
I bet you a fiver, I can fix this like MacGyver
I can be a "fix- it" chick
I can get it get it fixed quick 

I got this
I got this 
I got this

I Got This
