We need to save music with passion (maybe a little more controlled then I was here but sure... Own your moments and don't allow shame to stop you learning from the harder moments...)

The first letter made a page at 09:01 and the raw song got uploaded at 09:35. USE your instinct! Don't have a guess handed to you by the digital devil or evolution will take your sorry filled weak  ass genetics!

I don't know about you but it hurts me very deeply to see the indifference people are starting to show music with thoughtlessness. It is the job of true artists to passionately defend and spell out what makes musical character and how it moulds our culture and our individuality. Otherwise we are complicit in allowing a dystopian future unfold. FUCK THAT

I'll only start making more and more powerful passionate songs about this until people realise what stands to be killed! Enjoy your honey moon period I have more musical bombs then any program can ever manufacture. This is RAW.... Let's judge it post DAW.

FUCK INDIFFERENCE. Be real and be LOVE and we are all going to be fine

I cried right through writing these words. I cried through playing the song. Some might look at that and think I should head for a looney bin. Here's the new normal....That's called real emotion and that's called showing people it's ok to feel it deeply and that's called not giving a shit about showing people that because we should not be afraid of our emotion. When we don't fear to feel then we find new power and music or new music we need to teach children to feel themselves and be honest with those feelings as they will find their true selves younger and EVOLVE


The Poem

So, you've invaded my world
You started this fight
Meet adamantium pearl
You won't crush me and music will win
Kids get inspired by character from within
This you can't clone even by force
'Cause this light will shine brighter everyone's course
Meet musical passion
Tears from the sun
Meet love you can't make with one/zero fun
Meet musical heart with wonderous words
Meet the deepest soul ahead of the curve
These tears are floods
Tanks of infinite force
To spell out this world giving spirit as source
I'll NEVER give up this musical WAR
You'll need to end me to allow you score
You can keep trying
I'll just always upgrade
The newer the kids...
The stronger I'll save
I pledge my life to fight for music
True character teaches evolution
We've fused it
Survival of fittest artists today
Will pave the way for creators to have more new say
Save the day and save yourselves
Grind those years to betterment elves
I am Thor for your digital drivel
You insult our culture so watch new civil
This hammer will beat it into your souls
We deliver this light by musical scroll
This is no dead sea
Love from me to you
Declare WAR for the soul of music!
I do!

Who's there? It's WAR

It's Peace (Jam #1)

Track 6 – Profit in the Ashes💧

(Corporate Greed and the Epic Finale)

“Profit in the Ashes” is the devastating finale of the Water Wars EP, weaving together the threads of industrial, technological, and corporate water exploitation explored in the previous tracks. From rivers stolen for data centers and EV factories, to copper, lithium, and agricultural extraction, this track confronts the full scale of humanity’s environmental recklessness.

The lyrics are both mournful and furious, portraying a world where boardrooms profit while valleys, forests, and oceans suffer. Every dam, every pipeline, and every contract becomes a testament to greed, leaving communities abandoned and ecosystems shattered. Musically, the song builds from haunting whispers to sweeping, cathartic choruses, giving the listener a sense of both the enormity of the destruction and the emotional weight of its consequences.

As the closing track of the EP, “Profit in the Ashes” serves as both a warning and a call to action: a reminder that unchecked greed and exploitation come at a cost that no empire can repay, and that the ashes left behind are ours to inherit.


LYRICS:

[Verse 1]
The rivers whisper softly, their voices growing thin
The trees lean in to listen, as the drought pulls from within
A billion drops were stolen, for mansions on the hill
The fountains dance for no one, while the valley’s standing still

[Verse 2]
Boardrooms count their silver as the desert claims the fields
The earth is sold for pennies, every harvest now concealed
They pave the sacred meadows, they bottle what remains
And call it innovation while the planet writhes in chains

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Every promise carved in stone, every contract signed in greed
Can’t erase the dying soil or the thirst that we still bleed

[Chorus 1]
They profit in the ashes, they drink the rivers dry
They gamble with forever, and no one asks them why
They trade our children’s laughter for an empire built on lies
They profit in the ashes… while the living planet dies

[Verse 3]
From silicon and server farms to fields of shattered grain
The engines never falter, they demand and they drain
From copper veins to lithium tears, the price is always paid
By the oceans turned to deserts, by the forests set to fade

[Verse 4]
The water runs to data, to Teslas, tanks, and mines
To every glittering cityscape that leaves the rest behind
They hoard the rain in hidden lakes, they steal the mountain snow
And leave the world to hunger in a future we won’t know

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Every dam becomes a tomb, every pipe a shallow grave
No boardroom saves the rivers when there’s nothing left to save

[Chorus 2]
They profit in the ashes, they drink the rivers dry
They gamble with forever, and no one asks them why
They trade our children’s laughter for an empire built on lies
They profit in the ashes… while the living planet dies

[Bridge 1]
Whose hands will break the silence?
Whose voice will light the flame?
Or will we watch in quiet as they carve another name?
The desert takes the meadow, the wind devours the sea
They’ll own the final raindrop, but they’ll never own the key

[Verse 5]
A thousand towns abandoned, their wells and orchards gone
The earth becomes a memory, a ghost that we’ve drawn on
Their golden towers tremble, the sky begins to burn
And still they drink the silence, with no thought to return

[Bridge 2]
All the kings and all their crowns
Cannot buy a river back
When the last blue drop is gone
Only ash will mark the track

[Chorus 3]
They profit in the ashes, they drink the rivers dry
They gamble with forever, and no one asks them why
They trade our children’s laughter for an empire built on lies
They profit in the ashes… while the living planet dies

[Outro]
The rivers whisper softly, the echoes start to fade
No one left to answer for the choices that were made
A kingdom made of silver, a throne of dust and stone
They profited in ashes… and left the world alone


Profit in the Ashes

Written by James Geer

 I wish that I had
A vodka and ginger ale
But I’m glad that I have
The vodka anyway

I wish that I had
A little bit of cocaine
But I’m glad that I have
A love who sustains

I wish that I had
An elbow of weed
But I’m glad that I have
Everything else I need

I wish that I had
At my behest.  
The things I’ve confessed
A round of Sussex‘s best
For the Grey Hounds and all the rest

Vodka and ginger ale

Lyrics

Take a step back
look at the whole thing
see the whole view
Dont you loose track
Look at the whole scene
Its not about you

Dont fall by the way side
Can you hear the word
Dont fall by the way side
Can you hear the word

And it feels so right

The Way Side - Katrina Barr & OMCB

Ocean vibes. Enjoy the music!

Another song from my band .
This song was used along with Window On The Universe as a promo single for the release of the album Magino Line.
The promo was called World v The Universe on Quicksilver  Records and I recently seen it being sold on a record shop site. I don’t even have a copy myself of the promo.
It was originally released in 1999.  The song refers to Richard Ashcroft who wouldn’t get up to receive an award for his work and the presenter Eddie Izzard said well that’s like going to a disco and not getting up to dance. And I thought what a pretentious twat. 
A brief history about the band.
The band were formed  in 1997 by Simon Bayliss and myself .
Simon a bassist and me a vocalist we had a handful of songs that needed a band of seasoned musicians to bring them alive. I recruited former band members of previous projects Lee Hughes & Rob Adams (guitarists) and Dave Robins (drums). 
Within months the band were recording and playing live with several labels showing an interest. 
Our first deal was with Holier than Thou Records but we left without releasing anything due to financial reasons. 
Our first release was a  7 Track 
EP “Hello Thane” on Quicksilver Records, quickly followed by our  debut album Virtue Circle released on Underground label Music & Elsewhere, which became a best seller for the  label. 
The album was then remastered and re-released back on Quicksilver Records in cd format, re-intitled “Virtue Circle Revisted”, M&E dealing with distribution.
Probably the best work to date was the final album Magino Line also released on Quicksilver Records. Unfortunately Simon had to leave before the second album due to work commitments with Artist Naomi of Gut Records. This lead to ‘Sarge’ Mark Sargent taking over bass duties. 
This Elegant Chaos bowed out in 2001 after the previous years sell out gig at Ronnie Scott’s. It was a wonderful time to be in a band with such talented musicians. 
Early 2020 we were released again on Music & Elsewhere to celebrate the labels 30th anniversary. This was a collection of the labels favourite songs in a download format.
This Elegant Chaos give you ……

YourWorld  (This Elegant Chaos ~ Magino Line Album)

V1
Some may recall a certain fall
And the up-and-coming, who stand so tall 
There was a man who would not walk 
But he made some sense in all his mumble talk 
There’s many that were ignored which left a view to be adored The toilet jokes came thick and fast. They’re not funny they don’t make me laugh

Bridge 
It’s like going to a disco and not getting up to dance  x2

Chorus 

Cause this is your world and we just live in it 
Your world and we just give it you 
Cause this is your world and we just live in it 
And l……………want it back tonight 

V2
Where do we go Where have we been 
When  we are travelling into this newfound scene
Time is demanding when you’re being stifled 
Another bullet in your rack of rifles 
It only took an hour of my time 
To see how much we shine 
The lightning strikes a direct shot 
Doesn’t take long and you are forgot 

Bridge 
It’s like going to a disco and not getting up to dance  x2

Chorus 

Cause this is your world and we just live in it 
Your world and we just give it you 
Cause this is your world and we just live in it 
And l……………want it back tonight 

Middle8
When a genius babes in a bath and horses and all we can do is ride different courses
When you’re so far up your own fucking arse
And what you create is a total farce

Bridge 
It’s like going to a disco and not getting up to dance  x2

Chorus 
Cause this is your world and we just live in it 
Your world and we just give it you 
Cause this is your world and we just live in it 
And l……………want it back tonight 
I wanna back tonight 
Wanna back it back tonight

Rückblickend is die Kindheit die beste Zeit

Peanuts Never In My Mouth

I'm a singer songwriter of travelling years with a little to say both emotionally and musically. 
I'm inspired by hope and the fight though the struggle in life ....
I found a home in Cornwall UK , where the creation of music is easy going...
May you find peace where you are too.
