This track was produced by the really talented Adam4le who created all the music himself. He asked me to write lyrics and provide vocals for this song and It clicked for me straight away. I had such a good time with this track and It's probably one of the quickest times I've completed lyrics for a song.

I've been gone
Pulled into the other side
In the smoke again
Caught in the dead of night

I feel lost 
Falling out of paradise
I let my soul descend
And soar through the dead of night

And i'm slipping in, 
Past the point of no return
I can't defy this hold 
Struggling to pull myself away
I can't survive below 

But I can't prevent it from happening
It's inevitable, I know

And i'm slipping in, 
Past the point of no return
I take the ride alone 
Spinning into darkness and decay
A place no light follows

But I can't prevent it from happening
It's inevitable

I've been caught in flight
Taken to the other side
I feel my soul descend
Lost in the dead of night

I invoked this fight 
Drawn in where the shadows lie
Fading as I wandered off the edge
Caught in the dead of night

And i'm slipping in, 
Past the point of no return
I can't defy this hold 
Struggling to pull myself away
I can't survive below 

But I can't prevent it from happening
It's inevitable, I know

And i'm slipping in, 
Past the point of no return
I take the ride alone 
Spinning into darkness and decay
A place no light follows

But I can't prevent it from happening
It's inevitable

Dead of Night

'Headlines and Other Distractions' a bright Jazz Fusion track inspired by the ceaseless noise and distraction on what is presented to us as "news". Lies, propaganda and spin.

Headlines and Other Distractions

A smaller bonus track, nothing too big, but very much fun playing it! I was wondering if to upload it or not, but hey, internet can take anything, right? Besides, Two Steps From Hell is THE BEST thing that happened to music in this century so far, so why not to pay this little tribute to those guys! And to Mark Fowler, who wrote this cover (with few changes of mine)...

i’m comin’ around
i won’t back down
got a posy
i’m after you

i’m bringin’ a ring
forget everything
that i told you 
i am ready

god dammit if i have to
climb a mountain
i’ll man it with abandon
racing for you

you’re shootin’ me down
way down to the ground
still i saw you 
Seraphina

god dammit it if i have to
down a dragon
i’ll plan it for your pleasure
send it to me

has anybody
seen my baby
engine’s runnin’
get in

i’m down on my knees
cohabitees
for the weekend
will have to do

god dammit do you have to
always play me
god dammit do you have to
stove me in
god dammit it if i have to
slay a dragon

damn Phina

Track 5 from Wigmore Allen Gibbons 2025 release called FRINGE - available at www.terrywigmore.com/wigmore-allen-gibbons

*Keith makes observations everywhere he goes, and in this instance, his tours of local castles led to this idea - those great, huge, thickly-hewn doors are actually hung on very small hinges. Of course, Terry sees the image as a metaphor -great change often begins with small starts. Literal or metaphorical? We 'll leave that up to the listener.

Great Doors Open

    I walked along a beach…soft sand at my feet
    I travelled past a man…his chin down on his chest
    This man is not asleep…He’s too long past all that I guess
    It may sound pretty stupid, yet…there it is
    Great doors open on small hinges
    I don’t care no more…I don’t care
    I don’t care no more…I don’t care… 
    Great doors open on small hinges
    On this unmitigated nightmare
    No one walks the lonely path I trod
    More disasters left by the wayside
    At the time, didn’t look so bad

    1.47 (Instrumental Break)
    
    He joined in halfway through the movie
    He ain’t gunna chew this cabbage twice
    That dozy man out on the causeway
    Awoke upon his own advice
    Great doors open on small hinges 
    He don’t care no more…he just don’t care
    He don’t care no more…he just don’t care
    Great doors open on small hinges

Great Doors

Super impressed by my buddy @dough-factory 's rhyming skills on here! This one started out as a beat from Ryan, I added trippy synth, organ and guitar noodling then sent back to him. He mixed, arranged and added the killer vocals as well as some record skips that add a nice touch.

Faded (What a Day)

Fired up to be recording again with Lou Taverna.  Always a favorite, Lou's guitar work is fire and on display once again.  We've recorded almost 20 tunes together on Soundcloud and always a thrill.  Spend a little quality time and check out Lou's superb playing and compositions:

Music is the greatest human invention, the only language that speaks to us all. It would be a shame not to share my share. Just for fun, just for mere survival of one man's mind. Thank you for listening!
