Beautiful track. Very personal and well written. I like it.

Great story telling through this song of courage.

I really dig the horns in this.  Is this a live instrument or Native Instruments or another software?  Either way it sounds great

Nice song mi amigo! Good singing and I like the trumpets you don't hear that enough these days

The vocals are great exquisite clarity throughout nice

Dirty acoustic, finger-picking blues. Some dark themes on oppression with a hint of hope at the end. Lyrics below - get in touch if you are interested in licensing any lyrics …

I hold it in
Your holding out
I’m holding up
But I don’t know how

You hold me under
I hold my breath 
I’m holding on
By a single thread

You hold me down
hold me down
You hold, hold, hold me down

No holding back
No holds barred
You look down on me
With your head held high

I hold my tongue
And swallow my pride
You hold all the cards
And you still want mine

Don’t hold me down
Don’t hold me down
Don’t hold, hold, hold me down

Block up the windows
Lock up the doors
Black out the lights
Block out all the noise

Lock down the borders
Lock out the press
Lock up the children
That wash up on our shores

You won’t hold me 
You won’t hold me 
You won’t hold me down
You won’t hold me down
You won’t hold me down
You won’t hold me down
You won’t hold me down
You won’t hold me down
You won’t hold me down
You won’t hold me down

Hold me down

A heartfelt song of heartbreak and lost love. Performed live at The Oxford Poetry Circle on 30.10.24, the song explores what happens when two people in love grow apart and change as individuals - sometimes irreversibly

HELIODORA´S SONG

She wakes with the sun but forgets where it rose
Her hands tell the story of the life that she chose
Fingers worn down like the stones in a stream
She built her own world from a broken dream

[Verse 2]
Heliodora fought with a heart full of fire
Through storms and through shadows her strength wouldn’t tire
She held up her home with no luck on her side
Her spirit unbroken though time tried to hide

[Chorus]
Oh Heliodora your name rings so true
A fighter a dreamer the world’s still in you
Though memories fade and the moments seem small
Your story still echoes it’s heard by us all

[Verse 3]
She worked with her hands till the years took their toll
A soldier of love with an unyielding soul
Her choices were heavy but her heart was light
She carried her family through the darkest of nights

[Bridge]
Now the past it gets blurry like a watercolor sky
But her laughter still lingers it refuses to die
The wrinkles she wears are her medals of grace
Heliodora still shines through time’s quiet embrace

[Chorus]
Oh Heliodora your name rings so true
A fighter a dreamer the world’s still in you
Though memories fade and the moments seem small
Your story still echoes it’s heard by us all


HELIODORA

Despierta con el sol, pero olvida dónde salió.
Sus manos cuentan la historia de la vida que eligió.
Dedos desgastados como piedras en un arroyo.
Construyó su propio mundo a partir de un sueño roto.

[Verso 2]
Heliodora luchó con un corazón lleno de fuego.
A través de tormentas y sombras, su fuerza no se cansó.
Mantuvo su hogar sin la suerte de su lado.
Su espíritu inquebrantable, aunque el tiempo intentó ocultarlo.

[Estribillo]
Oh, Heliodora, tu nombre suena tan verdadero.
Una luchadora, una soñadora, el mundo aún está en ti.
Aunque los recuerdos se desvanezcan y los momentos parezcan pequeños.
Tu historia aún resuena, todos la escuchamos.

[Verso 3]
Trabajó con sus manos hasta que los años le pasaron factura.
Una soldado del amor con un alma inquebrantable.
Sus decisiones fueron pesadas, pero su corazón era ligero.
Llevó a su familia a través de las noches más oscuras.

[Puente]
Ahora el pasado se vuelve borroso como un cielo de acuarela.
Pero su risa aún... Perdura, se niega a morir.
Las arrugas que lleva son sus medallas de gracia.
Heliodora aún brilla a través del abrazo silencioso del tiempo.

[Estribillo]
Oh, Heliodora, tu nombre suena tan cierto.
Una luchadora, una soñadora, el mundo aún está en ti.
Aunque los recuerdos se desvanezcan y los momentos parezcan pequeños.
Tu historia aún resuena, todos la escuchamos.

Heliodora´s song (Feat. Stewart MacLean)

Raindrops

Submarine

I thought I’d build a submarine to travel deep under the sea
My computer drew some custom blueprints just – for - me
It will have a viewing port below and a periscopic view above
And a captain’s chair in calfskin leather that will fit me like - a – glove

My submarine is sleek and gold a fantastic sight to behold
Passersby who saw it couldn’t help - but – gawk
I put it on my old trailer and hitched it to my new volvo
And headed out for its maiden launch from the public City dock

I’m gonna see this world like I have never seen before
I’m gonna see this world like I have never seen before

I don’t have any deep sea knowledge as I head into the blue
But I have a clever chatbot that can tell me what – to – do
My friends seem somewhat skeptical; they’re clearly jealous I can tell
that none of them has thought of such a great idea too

When I return, if you’re lucky I will tell you all the things I saw
Cuz surely I’ll have stories that will fascinate and awe
Before I go let me tell you one thing you can know
You’ll never see what’s outside if you don’t open up the door

I’m gonna see this world like I have never seen before
I’m gonna be in this world like I have never been before


Submarine

This instrumental track is an adaptation of an earlier song I wrote and recorded called “Age of Humans”. Unfortunately for that song, the arrangement was too uplifting and did not suit the content, which was a warning about global warming and its consequences.

So “Hope for Humanity” tries to convey a more pleasant listening experience!


Hope for Humanity

Centipede Scars

The third composition of the AEON album.
For all dreamers wandering through the deserts of their minds.
Time slows, colors soften, and every breath feels like a quiet renewal.

[Verse 1]
土曜の朝、かすんだ瞳で
そっと近づく君の歩幅
触れた瞬間に指先へ染みた
かすかな温度が胸を震わせた

言葉じゃ描けない静かな震えが
胸の奥の不安をそっと止めて
小さな光だけが
僕を前へ押した

[Chorus]
強くなくても　君を守りたい
曖昧な心も　君が照らすから
小さな影でも　君へ伸びていく
今日の僕は
君を照らしていたい
君を照らしていたい

[Verse 2]
眠る君の息はランプのように揺れて
胸の奥の重たい影をゆっくり溶かした
君の手を初めて握ったあの日から
隠れていた勇気が静かに芽を出した

曇り空のような孤独な日でも
その小さな呼吸だけで
前へ歩ける気がした
僕は変われる気がした

[Chorus]
頼りない僕でも　君を守りたい
曇った心も　君が変えるから
曇った心に降り積もった
無数の欠片さえ
君の指先で
そっと光へ変わっていった

小さな影でも　君のそばにいられるなら
僕は君に流れる
一筋の光でいたい
一筋の光でいたい 

[Bridge]
いつの日か君は遠くへ歩き出すだろう
その時　小さな記憶の片隅でいいから
「背中を照らす影がいた」と
思い出してくれたらそれでいい

[Chorus - Final]
大きなヒーローになれなくてもいい
揺れる君の歩みに灯りをともせるなら
倒れそうな僕を立たせたのは
いつだって君のぬくもりで

小さな影でも　君へ向かい続けるなら
今も静かに　
君を照らしている
君を照らしている

[Outro]
静かな夜にそっと思う
君の未来が　優しく輝きますように
僕の影が消える日が来ても
光はきっと　君の中で続いていく

君を照らす影 (Echoes of You)

About trying not to complicate or over think things....today it would probably be called "mindfullness" ... although  "carpe diem" says it better :)
