Heavy Heart (ft. Stochastos)

Slowed down version of old song from the archive

The Way I Feel - Deep Down

Sinister Serenade begins with a haunting minor feel, immediately setting a tone of melancholy and quiet despair. The track features a combination of electric guitar, ukulele, subbass, claps, choral pads, Rhodes piano, and additional piano layers, creating a rich but sorrowful soundscape.

At a tempo of 105.63 BPM and in 4/4 time, the track moves steadily, evoking the image of walking through cold, rain-soaked streets of New York on an autumn night. The third section of the piece introduces a cool arpeggiated guitar figure, panned to create a sense of movement and depth. Although the track maintains a single, melancholy emotion throughout, a shift in the middle introduces a hint of something more sinister, with subtle magical harmonies lifting the mood before returning to the somber melody.

The longing melody, which bookends the track, reinforces the feeling of solitude and contemplation, making Sinister Serenade an ideal choice for cinematic scenes that require a blend of sadness, quiet tension, and a touch of the supernatural.

Lyrics:

This day started like any other
Till Zillow hit me in the face
My mind was jumping all around
Is it time that we leave this place?
I’ve kept busy doing what I do
Trying to finish what I start
thing’s change and move so fast
It’s not right to be so far apart

It’s time we groove this thing
It’s time we move this thing

If the humming birds fly in our backyard
and the cool breeze blows real nice
All will be the way it was 
Before we rolled the dice
Ever changing as each day comes
taking count of what it’s all about
Not always easy to navigate though
but making sure there is no doubt

It’s time we groove this thing
It’s time we move this thing
It’s time we groove this thing
It’s time we move this thing
It’s time we groove this thing
It’s time we move this thing

Lyrics: Till It's Gone

I was young and full of fire, 
never thought I'd ever tire
Didn’t know the time would fly
and leave me wondering why
Now that I’m old and all alone
you don’t know what you have till it’s gone 

I chased the dollar every day
didn’t take the time to play
With my kids, my wife, my kin
now I see where I’ve been
They’re all grown and far away
you don’t know what you have till it’s gone

I’ve lived life through highs and lows
Seen love and loss in equal rows
Don’t let regret become your song
Hold tight to joy before it’s done
But now I know what matters most 
You don’t know what you have till it’s gone

So hear me now while you’re young
don’t let your life be unsung
Cherish every moment bright
hold your loved ones really tight
For one day you’ll look back and see
you don’t know what you have till it’s gone, Yeah


Till it's Gone

New Flamenco Improvisation III (For two guitar)

I have Eq-ed this tune and shortened the Intro. This tune is one I love!!!

Silver Clouds (slightly shorter Intro)

This is a song about the nest around you - your mind; the people close to you;  
the neighbourhood you live in.

NEST
(c) JunkHeap June 04 2021 / Remixed-Remastered Jun 2025

Lights above a corner shop flicker on.
Insects buzz, signalling.
People linger in the evening,
in the summer heat after the sun 
has beat us down. 
Hey the earth has turned away
and gives us shade,
only for a time,
only for a time.
Indifferent to you and I.
So we all rest for another day.

This is what happens everyday.
We spin around in the Milky Way.
Nice to settle in for the duration.
It's not a contest.
Build your nest.
Build your nest. 

Ornate silver cup of time,
reminds me of another day. 
So hard sometimes to stay
here in the present.
Sometimes I feel I'm going insane.

A buzzing menace intrudes
in my thinking, wait for it to go.
Dark clouds split open.
Green lights all the way down the road.
Sleep in late, 
I don't want you to go. 

Collect some straw to build my nest,
imperfection at its best, 
but it's ok, it'll do, 
we're all here together; 
stop and marvel,
on the blue marble.

Nest
