You’ve never heard folk like this before — raw, honest, and wrapped in soul. One man stands exposed, asking for forever.
This is I Stand in Front of You (My Heart, My Soul, My Forever) — a heartfelt folk ballad blending acoustic intimacy with deep gospel warmth.
Inspired by the vocal stylings of Myles Smith and the emotional grit of old southern soul, this track captures what it means to truly lay your heart on the line.
With stripped-back instrumentation and lyrical honesty, it’s a love story told the way folk was meant to be: real, vulnerable, and unforgettable.
If you’ve ever loved someone so deeply it changed your soul — this one’s for you.

Lyrics
I Stand in Front of You

Yeah-yeah, oh, oh-oh, oh
I have been told you will know, go with the flow
Yeah-yeah, oh, oh-oh, oh
I need to know that you will never go, you will stay

When I am with you I feel the real
You make me believe it is for a lifetime
I can see my future in your eyes
Tell me this is for life

I stand in front of you just a man
This man is in love with you, heart exposed
I am asking you to love me a lifetime long
My heart and soul is wrapped up in you
Our souls wrapped together through and through
Nothing surer I belong to you
I can see all our life in your eyes so blue

Yeah-yeah, oh, oh-oh, oh
I have been told you will know, go with the flow
Yeah-yeah, oh, oh-oh, oh
I need to know that you will never go, you will stay

I stand in front of you just a man
This man is in love with you, heart exposed
I am asking you to love me a lifetime long
My heart and soul is wrapped up in you
Our souls wrapped together through and through
Nothing surer I belong to you
I can see all our life in your eyes so blue

I have never felt a love like this
My heart is in your hands take care of it
It beats for you and always will
This is a love my heart and soul will fill

I stand in front of you just a man
This man is in love with you, heart exposed
I am asking you to love me a lifetime long
My heart and soul is wrapped up in you
Our souls wrapped together through and through
Nothing surer I belong to you
I can see all our life in your eyes so blue

Yeah-yeah, oh, oh-oh, oh
I have been told you will know, go with the flow
Yeah-yeah, oh, oh-oh, oh
I need to know that you will never go, you will stay
Tell me it is so, I love you

I Stand in Front of You

I Stand in Front of You - My Heart, My Soul, My Forever

This song is a haunting reflection on the suffocating grip of depression in a hyper-connected world. The lyrics navigate the paradox of feeling isolated despite being constantly online, where the ease of ordering everything can become a coping mechanism that further exacerbates feelings of emptiness. The song also shines a light on the harsh realities of mental health care, where the cost of seeking help can be prohibitively expensive, leaving those who need it most to suffer in silence. Through the lens of personal struggle, the song critiques a society that prioritizes consumerism over genuine human connection, highlighting the tension between seeking comfort and being confined by our own devices and societal expectations. Ultimately, it's a powerful exploration of the human desire to break free from the stigma surrounding mental health and to reclaim a sense of purpose and meaning in a world that often seems to value neither.


LYRICS: 

[Verse 1]
I'm sinking deep, the covers hold me tight,
Outside the world is shining, I'm blind to the light.
Scrolling through the days, lost in a screen,
They say I'm connected, but I feel so unseen.
Is it comfort or a cage I built so high? 

[Chorus]
Awake but I'm dreaming, lost in my head,
With every new order, I’m further misled.
They say I should seek help, but the price is too steep,
So I bury my sorrow beneath layers of sleep. 

[Verse 2]
Packages arrive, but the emptiness stays,
Every click I make just fades me away.
Mental health whispers in a money-driven game,
But the ones who need help can’t afford the shame.
I wish they'd listen, find ways to heal, 

[Chorus]
Awake but I'm dreaming, lost in my head,
With every new order, I’m further misled.
They say I should seek help, but the price is too steep,
So I bury my sorrow beneath layers of sleep. 

[Outro]
In this silent battle, I wish to reclaim,
The hope that I'm seeking, the courage to change.

Behind Closed Eyes

In 1986 I was 17 , My big brother Scott was 19;.  He was killed and left at the side of a road by a drink driver who didn’t stop. They drove off and were eventually caught. This song is a dedication in music and words for my brother and for others who have lost a loved one to crime.

Cerco una band

Oh yeah
Oh si! Ciao fratello Vorrei tanto una band, un'orchestra che mi dia, che mi faccia qualche melodia  
E far uscire quello che ho dentro dandogli un vestito da sera che non voli via  

Fatti avanti fratello. Fatti avanti musicista, ti sto cercando. ti do in mano il mio cuore,l’arte e il lavoro  
Uniamo le nostre forze, in sinergia, mettiamoci insieme come un bellissimo coro.  

Qualcuno mi ha detto che non è musica é una fake e che non si può ascoltare
Ma che ne sai fratello tu di ciò che ho dentro che voglio partorire , voglio liberare liberare liberare
Scrivo testi da una vita per canzoni a volte anche belle poesie
Forse non piaceranno a tutti ma non c’è bisogno di scortesie. E sono mie. 

Ma nel frattempo io uso la IA  
Che mi mette in mano la sua esperienza, oh yeah, è magia  
Un algoritmo che danza, che crea e che ispira  
Mi guida nei ritmi, come un maestro che respira.  

Senti il groove che sale, vibrazioni nell'aria,  
La tecnologia abbraccia l'arte, è una nuova storia da scrivere,  
Non è solo un codice, è un'anima che vibra,  
In questo mondo digitale, la musica si libra.  

Ritmi sincopati, melodie che si intrecciano,  
Con l'IA al mio fianco, i confini si allargano,  
Dalla penna al beat, ogni nota è un viaggio,  
Insieme creiamo un suono che non ha mai un freno.  Mai, mai, mai. 

Ma nel frattempo io uso la IA  
Che mi mette in mano la sua esperienza, oh yeah, è magia  
Un algoritmo che danza, che crea e che ispira  
Mi guida nei ritmi, come un maestro che respira.

Quindi alza il volume, lascia che il mondo ascolti,  
Questa fusione di stili, non ci fermeremo mai,  
Jazz e rap si incontrano, in un ballo senza fine,  
Con l'IA come musa, la musica è divina.  

Siamo pionieri di un'era, dove il futuro è qui,  
Con un click e un sogno, possiamo volare via,  
Non è solo tecnologia, è un ponte tra le menti,  
In questo ritmo sincero, siamo tutti presenti.

Quindi alza il volume, lascia che il mondo ascolti,  
Questa fusione di stili, non ci fermeremo mai,

Con l'IA come musa, la musica è divina.  

Siamo pionieri di un'era, dove il futuro è qui,  
Con un click e un sogno, possiamo volare via,  
Non è solo tecnologia, è un ponte tra le menti,  
In questo ritmo sincero, siamo tutti presenti.

Vorrei una band

This is an old band recording I never planned on sharing. We were practicing in a hall, and one of the guys used to record our sessions, this is one of those takes.

It was many years ago, before I lost the ability to lift my arms. But when I listen, I’m right back there, breathing music into the room with people I cared about. It brings me back so vividly it hurts a little, a lot actually, bittersweet doesn’t quite cover it

The whole thing was improvised. I used to be able to play the saxophone like some people whistle, hearing the tune and responding without thinking. It just flowed, it was the one thing I really excelled at.

The quality’s terrible, I know. This was never meant for anyone else, just a moment captured for us, for joy, for memory, for connection. But I’ve been sharing more of myself lately, and this was, or is, a big part of me.

It’s not perfect. It’s not clean. But it’s real

💜 For anyone who’s had to let go of something they love, this is a piece I got to keep.

🎷 Unscripted Breath (Live Rehearsal Room Take)

There are people who believe you should love your neighbor as yourself
There are people who believe you should share some of your wealth
There are people who believe that only the fittest should survive
And if you’re poor and you’re weak it’s up to you to stay alive
There are people who believe you should teach a man to fish
Instead of giving him all his food in an already cooked dish
There are people who have an empathy deficit
They see people suffering and they don’t care one bit
They wear religion on their sleeves but if you’re in the wrong denomination.  They look at you like you’re an abomination.
People who treat politics the same as a religion and if presented with a new set of facts they don’t even budge a little smidgeon
Billionaires who have enough money where they could end world hunger in one day
Do they see people starving and think it is okay. We’re stronger together than if we are apart
If we could see ourselves as passengers on the same boat that would be a good start
We all share this this tiny rock as it floats through outer space
This planet is the lifeboat for the entire human race
Billionaires who what to create a colony on Mars. Let’s fix things here on earth before we travel to the stars
The world used to be full of undiscovered places but now humans have put footprints everywhere.
The continents touch the same oceans, and we all breathe the same air We live on one planet that we have to share
We’re stronger together than if we are apart
If we could see ourselves as passengers on the same boat that would be a good start
We all share this this tiny rock as it floats through outer space
This planet is the lifeboat for the entire human race. Billionaires who what to create a colony on Mars.   Let’s fix things here on earth before we travel to the stars
