Great lyrics. At some point there will HAVE to be massive systemic change. These effects are cumulative over generations. Even the super-rich who have all the power will surely realise that even their gigantic wealth can't protect them.

Another great song Joe! We can all use a drink! I feel like we're on the Titanic! Great lyrics as usual! You're a poet and don't know it!👍😎✌🏼

Great beat👏👏 Great work👏👏👏

great sound, truth in the words, catchy tune!

serious message but with a certain humour

I love the background vocals and piano Joe. Your humor is much appreciated too!

Love the harmony vocals! Another great track Joe.

Our tribute to the Australian Gothic Metal band of the same name Virgin Black! Amazing combination of orchestras, vocals and gothic metal.👍

This song is about being stuck in an endless loop of working life, the realisation of never ending monotony, to finally working out how to handle it and the hope of escaping it.

Ran to the mountain top but still not high or far enough away 
I still could hear them call my name 
Chocking on soda pop it fizzled to my tired and worried brain 
For a moment I forgot their pain 
Love, Used to hold each other when the day was done
Love, Now we duck and cover cause we can’t outrun 
My girl is beautiful sharp mind hot body personality 
She brings to life my wildest dreams 
My mind is hijacked thinking real is fake 
now true and fantasy is on a collision course full steam 
Love, Acting like a stranger but I know you well
Love, Waving to each other from across the cell 
deja vu  I lose my mind just thinking bout you
But then it’s 
Holy smokes when you come around here 
Oh yeah 
Believe in me like I believe in you 
She has a softer side when showcased on the full sized movie screen
But when the lights go down oh no
From far away the hurricane looks like a pillow in the blue 
The silver lining hides the truth 
Love, Used to hold each other when the day was done
Love, Now we duck and cover cause we can’t outrun 
Love, Acting like a stranger but I know you well
Love, waving to each other from across the cell
I used to get real scared just thinking bout it WWIII 
now psychopathic thugs have got nothing on me
But still it’s 
Holy smokes when you come around here

come around here

Lyrics:
.
When you need me - far away
Say my name I'll be there today
I hope you know it's with Gods I play
Open your eyes it's a blissful game
. 
(oh)
.
Time together, time we share
Nothing to do but be aware
Hope you see how much I care
Open you eyes and take me there. 
. 
(oh)
.
Focus! Focus!
Focus! Focus! 
Focus! Focus! 
Love is in the air! 
.
Focus! Focus!
Focus! Focus! 
Focus! Focus! 
Love is in the air!
.

lyrics:
We've been through a lot, a lot of shit
now it's time to fight, fight against
against this depression and evil vibe
this is the time we will take over our lives

We've been submersed deep deep down
we've lost our faith into this evil town
we have to get back, get back to our own feet
we had enough, enough with this shit!

and now we have our head up high
we know what it's true and never dies
and now we step up with god's command
we won't take it anymore, not get stuck into the sand

It won't take forever just to reach our dream
it won't take forever to delete the bad scene
it won't take forever to hold your hand
it won't take forever to the promised land

it won't take forever to live again
it won't take forever to face the sun
it won't take forever, it won't take forever!

The road to happiness is difficult to find
You can get lost along the way..
You have to make an effort
Keep an open mind
And happiness will come to you one day..

If there is lightning and thunder
And the rain pours down
You can still smile through your tears..
Roar like a lion
Dance in the rain
Let joy be your outfit to wear..

If you only demand
With nothing to give
Unable to find pleasures in small things..
You will never feel happy
It will only get dark
And you will miss out what life can bring..

If there is lightning and thunder
And the rain pours down
You can still smile through your tears..
Roar like an lion
Dance in the rain
Let joy be your outfit to wear..

Road To Happiness W/ Janne Hennie

We’re teetering on the brink
I could really use a drink
I can’t help but think
That the ship is starting to sink

They that we’re running out of natural resources
We gotta go out and find ourselves some brand new sources
They say that we’re not goanna find them here on good old planet earth
We gotta go out in to the solar system and dig for all it’s worth

People out there living their lives 
They’re not worried at all
They think you’re just a chicken little 
saying that the sky’s goanna fall

We’re teetering on the brink
I could really use a drink
I can’t help but think
That the ship is starting to sink

Elon Musk wants to colonize Mars and make the human race multiplanetary
But the way those rockets keep blowing up makes that trip seem pretty scary

We feed our cow’s chicken poop and we’re  surprised when they catch bird flu
And when there’s virus in the milk they say that shouldn’t worry you
They say that steak tastes better if you feed the cattle a corn or grass diet
But they don’t advertise  poop fed beef they keep that part very quiet

Too much atmospheric CO2
Pesticides in everything we chew
Forever chemicals in H20
We need to make changes but 
We move too slow

We’re teetering on the brink
I could really use a drink
It feels like we’re on the Titanic
But we’re all to busy to panic
We’re teetering on the brink
I could really use a drink
I can’t help but think
That The ship is starting to sink

Teetering On The Brink

Misk - 108

Many thanks to Frank Mehl, who worked over my AI generated version of this song, so it got even more beauty.
Lyrics:
[Verse] In a land of dreams Where the moonlight gleams There's a fairy creature With mystical themes With a voice so pure And a heart so bright She sings her song To create a new light [Verse 2] With every note The stars align As she weaves her magic In a rhythm divine Her melody floats In the soft night air Creating a world Beyond compare [Chorus] Her song soars Like a gentle breeze Unveiling a realm Where dreams find peace With each sweet word Her power unfurls The fairy creature Who creates new worlds

Magical Melodies II (feat. Frank Mehl)

Electus Grandus (2018) Anthology CD1 Track 08

“Now, I think we’ve all been there you’re out on a date, maybe at a bar, maybe at a dance, and instead of looking at you, that special someone is glued to their phone. You’re sitting there thinking, ‘Hey, I dressed up for this, I showed up for this, and you’re texting somebody else?’
Well, this song is about that moment when you just wanna say, ‘Put that thing down, look me in the eyes, and dance with me instead.’
So if you’ve ever wanted to grab somebody’s phone and toss it across the room, this one’s for you. It’s called ‘Get Off That Phone.’”


Get Off That Phone

Wrong Fence

Country Album Version. Vocals and music generated by AI but I 100% write my own songs, handle all composition, production and post production for my music.  By around the end of October-November of this year(2025) I will be getting the equipment I need to record my own quality vocals and then voice clone them and have AI train my vocal clone.  If that is successful my plan is to voice swap my cloned vocals with the AI vocals on some or all of my tracks listed as 'Album Version'
