Well it has been a dull few months, hence the need for surprises. I'll leave it up you as to what the surprise might be.

Lyrics

I’ve got a surprise for you  
Like Miles you’ve been feeling ‘kinda blue’
Missin’ Valentine’s was hateful 
Now we’re here in April
But I’ve got a surprise for you

First thought about getting a tat-too
An arrow through the heart, that’s cut in two
Or something from your wish list
We don’t have to wait till Christmas
I’ve got a surprise for you
 
I’ve got a surprise for you
So what if we’re financial-la-ly screwed
No compromises
When it comes to surprises 
I’ve got a surprise for you   

I’ve got a surprise for you
I’ve got a surprise for you
Open up your eye-ziz
I know you like surprise-ziz
I’ve got a surprise for YOoooooooouuuuuuu xxx

I've Got A Surprise For You!

Blink Twice / P a b l o - Adrift

ephemeral

I like many am shocked and appalled at what is unfolding before us. In the midst of this darkness I salute the people who are opening their hearts and offering assistance to the refugees from this disastrous conflict.

Here are some UK links to appeals providing humanitarian aid. I'm sure each country has equivalent appeals happening now.

Empathy For The Agony

Beautiful Girl

46.6 bpm


Talking to myself outloud about time and a reality that cannot be quantified.


This moment

The moment this moment 
is the only moment that exists
the moment this moment 
is not a measurement of time
it takes no time at all
there is no measurement that small
the moment when the moment 
passes from the future to the past
is not a measurement of time at all
but a place in space
like a string of pearls in a void.

This Moment

This is not a song about Marilyn Monroe.
It’s about a fiery relationship they came to an end between two people in which she screams in a melt down  and quotes a famous line from Marilyn Monroe.

If you can’t handle me at my worst then you don’t deserve me at my best !

Marilyn’s Quote ~ Conscience of Kings with Jeff Roberts

“At Kenny and Laura’s” is a joyful celebration of friendship, laughter, and the little chaos that makes gatherings unforgettable. Packed with mischievous stories, harmonica jams, and the warmth of familiar faces, it captures the magic of nights spent with friends who feel like family. Every verse is a snapshot of fun, connection, and the kind of memories that make you smile long after the night ends.

Kenny's and Laura's

A rambling guitar fest,an overindulgent lyrical example of cereal box religion and home grown philosophy. Still,it's pretty short!

We've been here a million times
The wheel will turn again

Don't think of life in absolutes
To succeed or fail
We are merely players
In a futile tale

I have no pretence of honour
I won't be falling on my sword
Principles are fine you see
If it's what you can afford

I'll tell you my stories
Solemn tales and grave
It took me years to teach
My mind to misbehave

No Principles-The Storyteller

Some live looping acoustic music for a lovely day! 🙂 I wrote this song after I was stuck for many hours in a heavy rain in South Europe while hitchhiking to Morocco and West Sahara. Song is in my mother tongue - Latvian. This isn't my most latest song but this is brand new arrangement. Hope you will enjoy!
