This is a song about those you depend on.

I LOOK FOR YOU
(c) JunkHeap Apr 06 2022 / Remixed-Remastered May 2025

Sometimes the days wear me down.  
I'm looking outside,
see my reflection in the window.
Furrowed brow and worrying  
etching its lines.
   
The world it turns and burns,
seems like it'll always be this way.
Hope shines bright through the clouds, 
as we wish for a better day.

I look for you.
I see your face in the crowd. 
Her eyes call to me, 
and we meet and 
hold each other so close. 
I feel your warmth.
See the throngs of people
moving like a wake around us;
in the ordered chaos, 
we save each other from it all.

ch. / break

My pillar of sanity, is you.
I look for you 
to whittle away the time 
on this insane ride.
Laughter and I get you.
We're past the pleasantries.
So many great days behind,
so many ahead.
So many great days ahead.

I look for you.

I Look For You

Keyboard: Roland E-X20 
Mic: Rhode USB Mini

LYRICS: 

I used to think
That I would be someone
If you called my name
I used to think that
Every day

I used to think 
That I would feel something
If you held my hand
It was perfect 
In my mind

You were the melody
And I was the harmony
You were a symphony
And I was the leading beat

You were the band
And I was a fan
Then you walked walked away
From my open hand

Cos this is a song
For the artist's way
This is a song
To know it will be okay
We are the art
And the road on which art is made

This is a song for the girl
Who turned my head
Caught my eye
Now she's all alone
In the spotlight

I used to think
That I would be someone
If you called my name
I used to think that
Every day

I used to think 
That I would feel something
If you held my hand
It was perfect 
In my mind

SONG NOTES and LYRICS:
I wrote this song about an imaginary character born and raised on the Mississippi, growing up to be a music man. It's not based on anybody real, but is a kind of tribute to all (blues) musicians down the ages, who have developed their own style of playing and have become admired by future generations. I was inspired to learn to play the guitar listening to great guitar players and fascinated by their ability to simultaneously play a bass line, percussive rhythm and melody, while singing at the same time. (For guitar players interested in how this song is played, it is capo'd at the first fret and played in Bflat, using the thumb on the left hand to play bass notes while stretching fingers 3 and 4 for hammer-ons.). Hope you like it!

They named him Mississippi
That’s where he was born and found
Raised by the crew of a steamboat
Never did like his feet on solid ground 
Could have grown up to be a gambler
But he’d seen where the money goes
So he just played the blues
And watched the river flow

So Mississippi he became a music man
His hat tilted to one side
He wore a watch chain in his waistcoat 
And a twinkle in his eye 
Those gamblers liked to buy him a whiskey
So he’d smile on the dice they’d throw
As he’d play them the blues
And watch the river flow

Now they say down in Mississippi
When you’re riding on the river at night
That if you raise up your glass of whisky
There’s a chance that you just might
Hear the sound across the water 
From the deck of that old paddle boat 
As he plays the blues 
And watches the river flow

RiZLiX Ft. IPG1 - No Limits

This song was inspired from the movie 'Fight Club'.  When the buildings were falling.  I get the feeling some ppl who listen to this will think it's about destroying society.  No.

This is a song about doing something about improving the world,  each in our own way.  EACH of us has to do something.  With that belief, nothing will stand in our way.

NOTHING'S GONNA STAND IN OUR WAY
JunkHeap (c) (Dec 2022 / Remixed/Fixed Aug 2023)

Where were you,
when it was all coming down?
Where were you,
why did you run away?

All night we watched the city burn.
The world crumbling down into ashes,
down on the ground.

Through the screams, we see the people running.
Through the smoke we see how people really behave.
No way to stop the crossfire as hope gives away.
We have to take it all down, and start from the ground, 
yes we do.

I don't know what else we're supposed to do.
Another year of the same.
Time to take it down, 
time to turn it around.

Let's start over, it's such a dream. 
Now all is clean.
Nothing's gonna stand in our way.
We watch, helpless; the endless scene.
Take it into our own hands,
now!
Nothing's gonna stand in our way.

Let's start over, it's such a dream. 
Now, all is clean.
Nothing's gonna stand in our way.
We watch, helpless; the endless scene.
Take it into our own hands,
now!
Nothing's gonna stand in our way.

Nothing's Gonna Stand In Our Way

Lyrics:: „I miss the days“

Verse One
Sunday turned into Friday 
I spent 5 days
Hiding
Trying everything to forget you
Trying to get back to my youth

Pre - Chorus
Oh, 
how things have changed
I’ve fallen from grace
I miss the days
When it was just me
Before I met you
Before I got all these wounds

Chorus
you said
I’ll love you always
But always is a promise
That no one can keep
Thought you were the one in my dreams
Guess I’ll just keep fantasizing

Verse Two
Im awake at 2am
In a cold sweat
Cause the bed 
Gets colder and colder 
Dont know what I’m doing
It’s so confusing
Can’t find my footing

I Miss The Days - Paploviante
