HIGH SCHOOL  (c) JunkHeap Nov 03 2021 / Remixed-Remastered May 2025

Do you remember the high school halls,
the intercom would tell us the deal; 
like that book 1984.

Fumbling with my books, I look up, 
and see this girl, 
as she's walking by,
with her friends.  
Oh man she was something else.

High school.

Soccer fields on an early Fall day.
Smell of fresh grass, white lines across the green.
Looking back I would never want to get away.

High school.

Janitors polishing the floor in the night,
started before basketball practice ended.

Next day, 
getting together with your friends.
The smell of food in the cafeteria. 

Variety night in the gym on a special eve. 
Crickets chiming on a summers night.
We all felt so alive.

High School

Quiet Rest

Love Through the Hard Times

So this is a cover of a song by Wendir and he asked if I would do a version in my own unique style... back handed compliment maybe hahahahaha!!!

First of all I was surprised anyone would want me to cover their music. So may I thank Wendir for the opportunity!!! 👏 I had fun with this i wont lie, its a great song and I love the lyrics and structure. ❤ 

I made some minor tweaks to chords
and structure to fit my style to make sure it was authentically from the heart and souls as possible. 

I felt it in my soul whilst paying the various guitar parts 🎸🎸🎸. and singing.  I hope I have done your song justice @wendir and I hope you hear my sincerity in my playing and singing. 🔥 

You may hear my zakk Wylde influences on the vocals and mark knopfler on the cleaner question and answer lead. and some others I wasn't aware if (outro verse randy Rhodes attempt)..Either way I bloody loved recording this and I hope you all out there on scoundcloud enjoy it too... please do listen, like, repost and repeat!!!!!! 👍 ✌💘 

I am always up for a colab, just ask my good friend @Somewhere77'.

***LYRICS***

Woke up this mornin’ with a war in my head,
Battles still ragin’ from the things I never said.
Mirror’s starin’ like it knows my shame,
Tryin’ to outrun what I can’t even name.... 

Clock keeps tickin’, drawin’ lines in the sand,
Life throws punches I don’t always withstand,
Voices in the shadows whisper doubt,
But I fight like hell to drown ’em out.
Fight like hell to drown them out... 

It’s the duel, every night, every dream I chase,
A thousand masks, one haunted face.
Truth cuts deep, but I never kneel,
Wounds may bleed, but they help me feel.
Yeah, it’s the duel this war is real..... 

No white flag, no retreat in sight,
Just broken wings still learnin’ flight,
Each scar’s a story carved in bone,
In the ring of fire, I stand alone... 

It’s the duel, in the dark, in the blinding light,
The endless fight to make wrong feel right.
I stumble, I burn, but I rise anew,
’Cause losing ain’t an option when you’re true.
Yeah, it’s the duel—me against the truth. 

So bring the storm, let the thunder roll,
This battlefield is carved in my soul.
Day by day, I play the fool—
But I never walk away… from the duel!!!!!!

The Duel (cover of Wendir original)

Let the music take you in and drive to another dimension

Fall

Jump Up (Prod.by H.Gee)

This song was written by Gaz Brownie as a tribute to Mike Peters from The Alarm who sadly died recently . As soon as I heard the rough demo I said " give it 'ere ! " We got Ken from K2 and the Three to provide brilliant drums to give the whole song a real live feel , we do hope you like it !

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.
