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

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

Some blues for the afterlife...
From the album "Röckers" (2024)
Lyrics:
I've been drinking lightning caught in a bottle
Smoking smokestack lightning and tar
Tasting poisoned honey from the apiary
Watching documentaries
On the sex lives of Czars

I've been promised enlightenment along my path
Reading ancient manuscripts
The demise of empires
Stepping over the bodies of my rivals

If you're going to the afterlife
Yeah, you need to be tough
You need more guts
If you want to go far
I've got mine pickled in my canopic jar

Friends, never take the lowest asking price
When the subject is your human sacrifice
"Spirits, make yourselves seen!"

If you're going to the afterlife
You know that you need to be tough
You need more guts
If you want to go far
I've got mine pickled in my canopic jar

Canopic Jar

Blots is a mesmerizing trail to explore, a hollow lead, an energizing escape.
The track is from my EP called INK: It is completely instrumental, a soundtrack of a sort, an experiment with distortion and a return to dark electronica.

Illusions

An old track, recorded in the beginning of the nineties, singing one of my father's many poems.

Este estranho poder, de que disponho,
de em imaginação vencer o espaço
e mergulhar no tempo, é como um braço
que me pusesse apenas onde me sonho.
Ele me leva atrás, depõe adiante,
em pretéritos tempos e futuros,
cruzando mares, rompendo muros,
como se nada houvesse de distante.
Na penumbra da sala, onde sentado 
numa cadeira quedo, só eu sei
as vezes que parti, e quanto andei
perdido no futuro e no passado.

Estranho Poder

Sometimes when I feel lonely
I find my picture of you
Put on some happy music
And sing along the whole night through

I'm singing Nananananana......

If I am a little unhappy
I find some songs that I love
Play them loud on the speaker
And have my own little singing show

I'm singing nananananana....

When I have to do some cleaning
But my energy is low
I play some good music
And sing along while the dirt has to go

I'm singing nananananana...

So if you feel a bit lonely
And your energy is low
Put on some good music
And have your own little singing show

You're singing nananananana.....

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.

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.
