Cool mix of big beat dance rock and some smashmouth! Love your heavy vocals on this Dave.

"feel" is a smooth and soulful track that blends lush melodies with a laid-back rhythm, creating a deeply emotive and immersive listening experience. Rooted in neo-soul and R&B influences, the song incorporates ambient textures and intricate electronic beats to craft a soundscape that feels both intimate and expansive. Its flowing structure and groovy undertones evoke a sense of reflection and tranquility, making it perfect for a late-night drive, relaxing moments, or simply vibing to its rich atmosphere.

Dreaming in Colour

Addiction will take you down a deep dark hole; make a choice never to let it win.  Leave it behind.  Take control.

(CAN'T) LIVE WITHOUT IT
(c) JunkHeap Jul 20 2021 / Remixed-Remastered May 2025

A song about addiction in the everyday world, 
and trying to say goodbye to it... but it's not so easy.  
It can last a lifetime.  all of the pain and pleasure 
along the way.

---

Where does the money come from?   Her body.
It'll only last for a few years.
The alley ways; the drug houses, 
and then see ya, heavens gate.

The Wall St. businessman, high finance, 
has been diving into the cocaine gunpowder.
It makes him feel in control, 
his life feels like it's so much more. 

Can't live without it.
Live without it.

Can't decide.

Can't live without it.
Live without it.

And so she's feeling great,
leaving the social scene this evening,
a bit too much merlot; daughter in tow.

Driving home, mother crossed the middle line.
On-coming headlights, no time, too slow.
Too slow.
  
Next thing she knows 
she's lying on the side of the road.
Emergency lights.
Her daughter's body's covered.  
Why did I drink tonight? 
her mother cursed herself.

Can't live without it.
Live without it.

Feel that pain it happens when you care
Lean right in, embrace it if you dare
Dangerous days, perilous nights
I’ll take the reins, hold on tight

Life has taught you to protect yourself
To not take the fall, stay back from the edge
But love might be right within your reach
If you risk falling for me
Risk the fall for me

One step first, my love is all you need
Soon your thirst for more will set you free
Joyful days, blissful nights  
 Sit with me, hold me tight

Life has taught you to protect yourself
To not take the fall, stay back from the edge
But love might be right within your reach
If you risk falling for me
Risk the fall for me
  
Nothing ventured, nothing gained
Don’t hold back cos life won’t wait
If there’s never love, there’ll never be loss              
We’ll all be shielded but at what cost

Life has taught you to protect yourself
To not take the fall, stay back from the edge
But love might be right within your reach
If you risk falling for me
Risk the fall for me

Risk the Fall

Un peu de poésie pour mes amis musiciens et musiciennes

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CAZpfC6K4p8

[Verse] 
Je marche au bord d'un rêve oublié 
Le vent murmure des mots enchantés 
Les étoiles brillent mais je suis perdu 
Un chemin flou dans l'inconnu 
[Verse 2] 
Sous la lune je cherche une lumière 
Un écho doux d'un amour sincère 
Les feuilles dansent au son du passé 
Chaque pas me fait vibrer 
[Chorus] 
Mon âme danse au rythme du silence 
Chaque note porte mon espérance 
Les ombres jouent une mélodie 
Dans ce chaos je trouve ma vie 
[Bridge] 
Un saxophone pleure dans la nuit 
Un cor résonne et apaise l'ennui 
Les cordes vibrantes comme un cœur battant 
Tout s'accorde dans ce doux instant 
[Verse 3] 
Le clavier chante une histoire d'hier 
La harpe tisse des rêves éphémères 
Les tambours grondent comme des secrets 
Et mon âme s'envole en liberté 
[Chorus] 
Mon âme danse au rythme du silence 
Chaque note porte mon espérance 
Les ombres jouent une mélodie 
Dans ce chaos je trouve ma vie

Un rêve oublié

Find alternatives to Soundcloud for your music.  If you don't get much response to your music, don't give up.  Soundcloud doesn't have respect for musicians, it's all about profit.  Saddens me.  It used to be different.  [Jul282025] Slowly working on the next album - Dreaming of Better.  I use SC because it's a good platform to organize my songs and prep for the next release to streaming sites.

The name JunkHeap came from creating song ideas and leaving them for later, and then picking through the junk heap of ideas to enhance a new song idea.  Explore my discography, find something you like.  

All of my albums on Soundcloud have been reduced to a sampling of a few songs.  The complete albums are available on all streaming sites.

JunkHeap is a solo, alternative rock music project.  Unapologetic, thought-provoking, emotionally raw music for the masses...

It's about you, the listeners.  I hope you get something out of my songs.  The lyrics are in the song name link.
