ACID BREATHING

Begin now to breathe,
Handmade by yourself,
Reality lives,
Time from your Breath.

Begin now to live,
Thoughtmade by your will,
Dimension denies,
What messages mean.

Yourself is the will,
Direct to a cell,
Universe lives,
God Knows Your Breath,

Begin now to breathe - Begin now to live,
Handmade by yourself - Thoughtmade by your will,
Reality lives time from your breath,
Dimension denies what messages mean.

Acid Breathing (Lyrics on Description)

EDIT 23 April 2025 - I will not use any AI technology that interferes with the realm of creativity in human culture. And I will not support people who use such technology to deceive others by claiming authorship of compositions/songs/images created by generative AI.

WARNING - This is ENTIRELY A.I. generated song!!!

So... this is my first attempt at A.I. generated music. I tried this on www.udio.com. However, it is not completely created by me from scratch, but for this first time I've used it, I took a fragment of someone else's song, which stuck in my heart with its mood (I am an incurable romantic). I really regretted that it didn't have a beginning and an end, so... I generated my own. The track came out really awesome, so I've decided to share it with You. It really resonate with me... And now someone say that this A.I. generated music does not evoke emotions...

Here is the original from I've made my extension. 
https://www.udio.com/songs/qg79XfYiiHp2x8kgSyBkGa
Here is my extension on Udio, where You can see how in text field I've prompted A.I. to do what I wanted: 
https://www.udio.com/songs/smVu17fJngJTLVjdJLuUjf
And link to my alternative version which have I think really awesome ending: https://www.udio.com/songs/k6RtJUvcLzPtsNUcTUnTVi

Here is the list of songs I've found on Udio that are really great. It's worth to check out to have an idea, how good can be A.I. (guided by talented people) in music generation! 
https://www.udio.com/playlists/exHSspXpwQHSdce2rfA1QF

However, I still don't know what to do with this technology. There is no return to the state before it appeared, so we will have to live with it. But will I use it... I don't think so, at least not yet. For now I can't say its human influenced creation. Until they turn it into something like Crea or Leonardo, where a human influences every aspect of the work being created, or even gives A.I. directives on what it should look like, feeding it with your ideas, this is not the technology for me... Or maybe I don't know how to use it...

But time passes and sooner or later such technology will appear. Then we will be able to put aside our plugins and DAWs and create/generate whatever we dream of at the speed of thought  :)

THE LADY BY THE SIDE OF THE ROAD
(c) JunkHeap Jun 27 2024

Video available at:  https://youtu.be/Y2Pm7CLIXdg?si=PVwoVMy9ZIYJXAh6

This is a tune that I put together based on snippets of ghost stories I remembered from the past.  

Artistry by nelsondesigns:  https://fiverr.com/s/jjexr8w

---

Some time not too long ago, dashboard panel aglow, 
lonely road, he’s thinking about life and the everyday,
hands on the wheel...

In a time a few centuries ago, 
she worked selling flowers to feed her children, 
and provide a warm home.
Those were good memories she's keepin'...  

She was walking across the street, 
an out-of-control horse carriage 
came around the bend.
They did meet;
didn’t have time to run out of the way.  

She said she’d be home in a little while, 
but she never arrived to kiss her child. 
Her crumpled body lying beside the road, 
people surrounded her but there was no hope. 

Her flowers spoiled in the dirt. 
The day went on without her. 

ch.
The lady by the side of the road, 
never did she make it home.

Each mile turned into the next, 
until he couldn’t believe what he saw
at the edge of his headlights.
A lady in a flowing white dress off of the tarmac. 

Dandelions pushing up on the hem of her dress.
Why she was there was anyone’s guess.  
He stopped and got out of the car, 
and opened the back door, 
while asking her if she needed a lift. 

She didn’t say a word but got in.
He closed the door, 
and asked the obvious questions as they drove, 
and she never answered. 
The air became oddly cold. 

As they came into town he asked,
Where do you want to go?
She didn't reply, and pointed out her window.
So he started to pull to the side, but
in the rear view mirror, she was gone. 

He slammed on the brakes and jumped out of the car. 
Seems she finally made it home.  
He felt a soft kiss on his cheek, 
and could see his exhale turn into cold breath.  

The lady by the side of the road.

The Lady By The Side Of The Road

AND SO IT GOES
LIKE JAZZ IN THE PAST WHEN
PEOPLE IN THE STREET
WOULD PASS THEM
CLICK OF THE FINGERS#
SET THE RHTHYM
AVAST IN  PRE TENSE
 EPIC CCOMMENCE
OPEN WINDOWS
TO VENT
THE HEAVYNESS
THE PENNILESS
BROKE VENDORS
CLOUD OF SMOKE
AHEAD OF US/
DESCENDANTS/
OF ANY OF US/
WHAT
HAWKING WARES
PAUSE AND STARES
LIKE OLD MEN
THAT PAUSE AT STAIRS 
CLUTCHING THE HEART WHEN
LIKE PENS
ANIMATE 
AND INCREASE GAIT
OF IMAGINATION
DROPPING SHIT
OPEN THE SLUECE GATE
ANOTHER BREATH
TRIANGULATES
THE MUSCLES IN COMBINATION
TO CREATE 
LIFT
AND INNOVATE
TOES TOUCH THE FIRST STEP
ALMOST THERE
LIKE PROSE
PROPIGATES
PURPOSE
CRUSH
SUFFOCATE WORTHLESS
'TILL IT GOES LIMP
AND DROOLS
 WATER THE FLOWERS
OF POSSIBILTIES
USE AS TOOLS
THAT'RE NATURAL SOLIQUIES
THAT SQUEEZE
LIKE GALLESPIE
FROM THE CHEEKS
BUT A MOUTH
TO NOTE
THE BREAK THAT BROKE
START TO SMOKE
WITH A FIRE DANCE
HOPE
IS A FINE CHANCE
WHEN THE JAZZ STARTS

Jazz jazz jazz

I'M A MISADVENTURE
TURN
 MENT IT
FROM THE NORM
TORMENTED
TOURNQUE
TORN AWAY
SO NO STOPPED FLOWS
MUSICAL PROPPED FOES
SHADOWS OF
WHAT BEFORE THIS
WAS CLASSED AS
'WHAT GOES '
IGNORED ABORTED
FROM MODERN THOUGHTS
NO TIME
TO AFFORD IT
AWKWARD ORBITS
ROUND
HEADS IN THE BACKGROUND
OCCASIONAL SAMPLES
TO MAKE THIS SOUND
SOUND LIKE
DAYS OF OLD
A BETTER MOLD
A BETTER MODE
OF TRANSLATING
THE ART OF SEDUCTION
MAKING MATING EASIER
NOW MATE
IT MAKES IT QUESIER
LACKS THE SUBTLE ATTACK
OF BRUSHED DRUMS
AS THE TROMBONE
ATTACH THE SLEAZIER
ELEMENTS
FEASIBLE
YOU'LL NEVER LEAVE A LOOSER
A CHOICE TO CHOOSE
AS A USER
THE MUSIC FOR YOU SIR
AN AIDE OF TECHNIQUE
FOR THE GENTLEMAN SEDUCERS
AT BREAKFAST
YOU MAY SEE HER
AS SHE IS
UNDRESSED FROM THE NIGHT BEFORE
WITH JAZZ TICKETS
IN HER CLEVEAGE

I GET JAZZY
WHO GOT THE THE JAZZ
LIKE J
TALKING ALL THAT JAZZ
LIKE WE GOT ALL DAY

Just the plain text of Isaiah chapter 9 verse 6, announcing the birth of the promised Messiah. It's also part of my Isaiah full project.

Porque um menino nos nasceu, um filho se nos deu, e o principado está sobre os seus ombros. E o seu nome será Maravilhoso, Conselheiro, Deus Forte, Pai da Eternidade, Príncipe da Paz.

Isaías 9:6

An acoustic guitar, a bass guitar, a synth and a sense of wonder......

Oh! Wondrous Things

Autumn Leaves

when your blue sky turns to grey
and the wind blows your dreams away
never mind
things will work out
the wind will change
there's no doubt

just remember
to thank your lucky stars
up there shining
your lucky stars

when your grey sky turns to blue
and the sun shines down on you
that's OK
it's just another day

say hello
to your lucky stars
just remember
to thank your lucky stars

are you lucky?
are you unlucky?
either way
you are always right
heads or tails?
you decide
before the coin falls
you decide
are you lucky?
are you unlucky?
as the coins spin 
thank your lucky stars
before the coins falls
thank your lucky stars
and you might just be surprised
as the coins spin
before the coins fall
you decide
heads or tails?
you decide
you decide
are you lucky?
you decide

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.
