I'll be releasing this with my vocals in another week or so.  I'm still unable to sing from the really bad cold I had.  Music instrumental by KDLV.

The First Light

This song comes from a place of heartbreak, not hate. It’s me speaking as someone who still loves this country deeply, even with all the damage that’s been done. My grandfather was actually a big fan of Trump back in the day—long before he ever ran for office. I remember him watching that old Oprah interview where Trump said he might run someday, and my granddad said he thought he’d make a good President. If he were alive now, I know he’d be heartbroken and appalled to see what Trump has done to our country—to our people, our values, our sense of decency. This song is like a letter I wish I could read to him, and maybe to America itself. It’s slow, dark, and honest—part protest, part mourning. It’s about loving your country enough to call out the ones destroying it, even when it hurts to say the words: I never knew you.


LYRICS: 

[Intro]
This isn’t hate.
This is heartbreak.
The kind that burns slow.
The kind that makes you write a letter you’ll never send. 

[Verse 1]
I'm still glad to be an American
Even with the mess we're in
But I'm writing you to say you suck
'Cause you're just a nasty fuck 

[Verse 2]
It don't matter what your policy is
You're tearing down what we've always been
If I could see my granddaddy now
I wonder what he'd say to him 

[Pre-Chorus]
I can hear him now—
Voice cracking through the years—
Saying the words I never wanted to believe. 

[Chorus]
“I never knew you
I'm ashamed to have ever shook your hand”
You can't claim to be a patriot
While you're burnin' down this sacred land
This hateful letter's to you
I'm just speakin' the truth
I'm just speakin' the truth
We never knew you 

[Verse 3]
I don't care how much you paid in taxes
It ain't about what you owe
What you're takin' from us
Is worth a whole hell of a lot more 

[Verse 4]
And now you got folks hatin' on each other
We're more divided than we've ever been
It's time to pack up and go back to Mar-a-Lago
Or maybe we can build a wall around it 

[Final Chorus] 

I can hear 'em now,
“I never knew you
I'm ashamed to have ever shook your hand”
You can't claim to be a patriot
While you're burnin' down this sacred land
This hateful letter's to you
I'm just speakin' the truth
I'm just speakin' the truth
We never knew you 

Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh 

[Outro]
Maybe someday…
We’ll find our way back home.
But not like this.
Not like this. 

Not like this.

Letter to President Trump

Statement 99 is my emotional response to all the bloody violence, power games and world-wide arson that is currently being perpetrated across the globe. Unbearable suffering torments people, regardless of their skin colour, religion or political beliefs. A few puppet masters are playing with world peace and, out of greed for money and obsession with power, are conjuring up a world war. How crazy do you have to be to believe that you can hide in a bunker and then everything will be fine again? 
Statement 99 is my cry for change with all my might.

I started making electronic music in August 2025 for the first time. I arrange and compose my music by mixing and altering loops on a DAW.  I don't use AI. I only mention that cos I've been asked many times if I'm using AI to create my songs.  I was like seriously?  Why would I do that? The point of creating music is to compose it yourself.  I write and I sing my songs and harmonies.  I only use Soundtrap DAW and a $50 mic with a $10 filter from Amazon.  I don't use plugins or vocal enhancing software.  It's not fancy equipment but it gets the job done.  It's a lot of work but I enjoy it.  Anyway, I call my music style Nueva Electronica. Thank you for your support on this musical journey.
