Youre on my playlist "Soundcloud Favourites"...love it!

This tune rocks with its catchy vocal riffs and groovy guitar beats, delivering an energizing vibe that feels like a burst of freedom and a call to carve out your own space.❤️

Cool song with high level production...the vocal layers plus the punch of the guitars...and the cool outro! On technology...it is indeed a double-edged sword.

punchy gt/bass combo! nice track, enjoying the vibe and the songwriting

Technology isn't all bad, this song just points out the dangers of it, but it also points out how technology is overtaking being human.

DISCONNECT 
(c) JunkHeap Jun 08 2021 / Remixed-Remastered May 2025

I spy with my little eye, impatience.
Right there, out of the corner, it's waiting.
Blood runs through our veins cold
when we have to slow our pace.

Standing in line...
when someones card declines the payment.
Traffic stopped bumper in my face.
Watching people lose it 
when their order isn't just right. 

Speeding bullet train called 'Progress'.
Human beings we stand motionless,
against the onslaught, 
we're losing our hearts.
Like a blood clot jammed in our brains.
It's such a god-damn shame.
It'll lead us down a path of no return.

Disconnect.  
I know you're listening.
Disconnect.  
What do you want me to say?

Something disconcerting in the theme here.
Techno-savvy CEOs with their dreams in
technicolour for you to believe in.
They say it so convincingly.

The poison fed to you, 
through their intravenous tube.

Speeding bullet train called 'Progress'.
Human beings we stand motionless,
against the onslaught, 
we're losing our hearts.
Like a blood clot jammed in our brains.
It's such a god-damn shame.
It'll lead us down a path of no return.

Disconnect.  
I know you're listening.
Disconnect.  
What do you want me to say?

Speeding bullet train called 'Progress'.
Human beings we stand motionless,
against the onslaught, 
we're losing our hearts.
Like a blood clot jammed in our brains.
It's such a god-damn shame.
It'll lead us down a path of no return.

Disconnect

Please don't use long words, it leaves me discombobulated

An Easter message? Music against war?All wars are wrought with inhuman threads of unwarranted violence and destruction whether in Libya, Yemen, Lebanon, Afghanistan, Congo or... (place any name of any war at any time in history).
In this one, a special military pox upon Putin and his house and all those who abuse and terrorize innocents and rain destruction upon all those who simply want to live and to exist. Justice? Where? ICC - we hope you're leading the charge for justice, and NATO, EU, UN - don't look away!

 (Don't)Look Away

1)Another day, another day in this war. 
A family man asks - What’s it all for?
Have we forgotten what we came here for? Don’t run away.   

To kill a man, a woman or a child. 
There’s something wrong, wrong in their minds.   
They look to God, but he does what He does best. He looks away. Hey?   

There’s always war in a far distant land
and civilised man goes out to lend a hand.
Holy Lands? Are you having a laugh? 
Laugh away, hey…  laugh away….hey…

(CHORUS)
I CAN SEE THEM ALL - LAGGING BEHIND. 
THEY’RE NOT PART OF THIS - HUMAN KIND
THINGS GOT SLOW, SLOW IN THE HEAD. 
WHY DON’T YOU GO SHOOT YOURSELF INSTEAD?
WE’D LOOK AWAY…HEY…WE’D LOOK AWAY…HEY…YAAH

2) Armies are led by those who think they’re right. 
Tell us they want peace.    
To get it they must fight for… the love of God pray how is this right? 
Pray away. 
They say destruction is their means to an end. 
Aim their gun at what once was their friend.
Turn their back on humanitarian trends. Then look away, 
hey… they look away…

(CHORUS)     

(MID BREAK)   
Lay down on your pillow…sleep tight with your greed 
because your safe… you’ll dream… while others bleed…
and you tell me…that God is on your side…you don’t believe it…
and that’s what I despise….
then you look away…
nd then you look away…

3) They shake a fist with a gun in their hand. 
It’s an action only they understand. 
One step away… from a hellish end. 
Shake away… shake - away…  

If there’s a place I could send them all. 
Be deep space, on a hot fiery ball  
Where you can all…Happily annihilate yourselves!                                                                        Then fire away…fire away, fire away…hey…

(CHORUS)

4) One more day is too much in this war. 
The family man asks - What’s it all been for? 
His loved one’s buried with his heart in the floor. 
Please look away…

Look Away

Ghostly castles.mp3

Without patience without time
Can't sustain this can't unwind
One last time for old withdrawal 
Lash the mast it’s curtain call

How do I change?

Curse the failure curse the past
Curse the dirt that holds you back
It clings on tight the more you run
You are now your father’s son

How do I change?

Build my bridge of steal and stone
Childproof matches impulse prone
Antifreeze in something sweet
Pass the night in blissful sleep

How do I change?

How Do I Change?

I have a place, a special place
down by the river, on a sunny bend

That is where I saw her, that day that we met
A bounce in her walk, so light on her step

I have a place, a special place
down by the river, on a sunny bend

Here comes my girl
Oh, she looks so cool i can hardly wait
Oh ya, i can hardly wait

I can hardly wait
Oh ya, i can hardly wait

I have a place, a special place
Down by the river, on a sunny bend

That is where I saw her, that day that we met
A bounce in her walk, so light on her step

Here comes my girl
Oh, she looks so cool i can hardly wait
Oh ya, i can hardly wait

A trans-Pacific cooperation at it's best. Josh (Entheogenic Psychonaught) asked me if I was interested in working on a project together. I had a basic idea that he transformed with his amazing drum, bass, organ and guitar wizardry into what you can hear. Many thanks to Josh for giving me this opportunity and for all of his time spent on this. 
It's quite amazing what can be achieved through modern technology. I never imagined being able to work with someone on the other side of the world on a music project and that someone other than my family might hear the result (showing my age here).

Where is The Way To Be Free?

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.
