As the title says these are thoughts for a summer day (btw, I'm not religious, but I appreciate people who practice their faith):  
- Take a break from technology here and there;
- Have some hope in humanity;
- Do what you can to make it a better world; 
- Try hard to find people who you vibe with and enjoy their company.

SUMMER SUNDAY
(c) JunkHeap Mar 01 2024

Looking at the sunrise, 
flowing through the dusty blinds,
bleary-eyed, not really wanting to wake.  
Taking a deep breath and stretching away the sleep. 
I know it's gonna be a good day.
I Hope!  it's gonna to be a good day.

Skip the 'get ready' lyrics, hit the street, 
knowing it's for sure cold out there.

I hear the sounds, and the smells of my main street,
climate change giving a bit of repreive, 
from the usual deep freeze.
I know I shouldn't say it, but I like the warmth.

The familiar people I see in the hood, 
wishing the trees were green and the sun
bathing us with its warmth, 
as the winter concludes.
We're wishing for an end to the cold,
careful what you wish for!

I think we've forgotten some of the simple,
need  to get back to what matters.
Leave the tech, 
not a substitute for human interaction.
There's nothing that we need to argue about.
There's nothing to go on about.
Just take that day off and relax...
on a Summer Sunday.

Ya... turn on the TV and it's the same-same.
Smartphone, computer... the same-same.
Everyone trying to yell louder than everyone else.

Hearing the bell on the steeple a block away,
being a non-church type, I say hey...
Hard to say anything without sounding like a preacher,
but sometimes we need a little faith, in hard times,
a little faith, in ourselves, a little faith, in hard times,
find the strength, in these hard times, 
we want the same.

Ch. 
I think we've forgotten some of the simple,
need  to get back to what matters.
Leave the tech, 
not a substitute for human interaction.
There's nothing that we need to argue about. 
There's nothing to go on about.
Just take that day off and relax...
on a Summer Sunday.

Guit solo.

Salt into, to my wounds
Breaking all your rules
I’m not here to lose

Obtuse, abstract, complicated
The fear inside wants me to play dead…
Vanish to thin air….
This I swear

Two arrows split my ribcage
The air left my lungs in haste
Blood drained, pale, lifeless
Don’t know how I survived again

Stood up, buried my sword in his heart
Somehow, I found the strength
Push on everything you have
Use it for everything you’ll gain

Up, up, never give up, up
Don’t you give up
The world is yours

Salt into, to my wounds
Breaking all your rules
I’m not here to lose

Nothing in life comes easy
Paying the price costs more than you know
In tragedy we must stay the course
There’s no running away

Nemean Lion - Το Λιοντάρι Της Νεμέας

Screaming out softly

You build yourself up while the world breaks you down 
Feeling untouchable till the walls are crashing down 
All the strength you gather be gone in a second 
Everything forgotten can come back and fucking wreck it

One day you're standing tall
The next day you’re going to fall 
Everything’s going, going away
Everything's going, going away 

One day you’re standing tall
The next you’re on the floor
Contemplating how the fuck you can take anymore
Your resolve will be tested by the limits of your soul
You dissolve every method it begins to take its toll

So many white walls that need a big hole from my fist 
So much of this fighting is over all of this shit 
I conquer conquer conquer but the fight still rages on 
I wonder wonder wonder if I can go on at all

But my mind is there to save me and to gather up my will 
My mind is there to save me and repeat I fucking will 
The torment will keep rising but the dog in me bites back 
The universe is winning until I am fighting back 
My heart is beating loudly but my chest gathers the air
The start was so profound but the enemies still there
My energy is binding and its blinding to the hurt
I will not be defeated this was needed for me to learn 
This was needed for me to learn
This was needed for me to learn

Fall

Just one step further and Amenhotep will save me, or will he yet 
The guardians are grounded, and sleep in the silence of the potion to forget
we all forget 
All the hounds howling in the distance, a dread quartet
Unlock the espagnolette 

Moving windward through the suburbs
Wild flight is my name, the interdictal bane
My weapons here are useless, in this consequence of rumours
As a conjurers legerdemain

With wild crowds throwing missiles, to bring down the government
Tendentious armies take positions in our now encumbered state
Sending messages to morons, 
In the endless dead debate

Amenhotep Will Save Me

Hide In The Dark Chapter II * Instrumental

Mist Covers The Mountains

Joy Addition - Rust and Gasoline

An original song that I played with a professional drummer. I loaded the recording into Suno and it did a remix. It's  blues rock vibe. Suno plays better guitar than I do.
