we all get the blues, but some of us get a special kind of blues ...

Bar blues

Way hey remember the smell 
It's 20 years since the towers fell
and we were all sent straight to hell
Where are the Dorsai bound?

Where are the Dorsai bound?

Bystander

This song was born out of an improvisational piece by our dear friend Emma Day: she simply played a progression of chords on her harp, that we fell in love with instantly. 

Let yourself be blessed by our song and let the light within your heart grow. May peace descend upon all human beings this season and for the year to come. Happy Holidays wherever you are.  

Text:

The Light Within Your Heart

Hoping for the light 
And praying for all weary hearts
To know the peace 
Inside them. May they be Free!  

Praying for the fight 
To end and for all wounded hearts 
To know the peace 
Inside them. May they be Free!  

All will be alright 
I hope and pray for light within your heart! 
For light within your heart!

Hoping for the light 
And praying for my weary heart
To know the peace 
Inside her. May I be 
Free!

The Light Within Your Heart (feat. Kirine)

INDIGO CHILD


Verse 1 
In the schoolyard so vast,
he wanders out of rhythm,
Looking for truths that last
not bound by play or schism.
Verse 2 
He watches clouds above,
while others play and kick balls,
seeking a world of love,
he hears a so distant call.
Verse 3 
They trade their marbles round,
he holds a small pebble tight,
in silence he is found,
His thoughts take flight through the night.
Verse 4 
All alone by the old tree,
he draws in dirt, shifting sand,
his eyes, so wild and free,
grasp things that we can't withstand.
Verse 5 
While others chase and shout,
he listens to the cold breeze,
there’s no room for doubt,
His mind is at gentle ease.
Verse 6 
They laugh and play their games,
he hums a secret cool song,
he's not bound by their frames,
His heart is where he belongs.

Verse 7 
He sees the shadows shift,
beneath the bright midday sun,
he finds a deeper rift,
In silence he has more fun.
Verse 8 
The playground full of cheer,
he ponders some Myths and Lore,
to him it’s all so clear,
There is  more in store.
Verse 9 
As they all gather round,
he steps aside to rethink,
he’s never lost, nor found,
He sees the real cosmic link.
Verse 10 
In the schoolyard so wide,
he sees how all the world turns,
with each game they confide,
He grasps what we all must learn.

Scruff Song 11th Feb Sandpit

I hope this song reaches your heart. 
Thank you so much for listening.

This is an original track.
I recorded the guitar, bass, piano and drums myself.Some elements like certain string parts, ambient sounds, and subtle adjustments were programmed using MIDI — although some of the string sounds were also played and recorded using an electric piano.
This track features vocals by Koharu Rikka (小春六花) using Synthesizer V.


The lyrics are as follows:

I keep moving on
No matter what comes
As long as life shines
Clinging to the dawn

Hear my silent voice
To the edge of world
Beyond the endless stars
Clinging to the dawn

Holding love so tight
Keep believing in dreams
I keep moving on
Clinging to the dawn

Shine bright 
Shine bright
Shine bright
for as long as life remains

My silent voice
To the edge of world
Beyond the endless stars
Clinging to the dawn


I keep moving on
いま愛を抱きしめて
No matter what comes
この夢を抱きしめて
As long as life shines
世界が続く限り
Clinging to the dawn
輝け　輝け


Shine bright 
いま愛を抱きしめて
Shine bright
この夢を抱きしめて
Shine bright
未来が続く限り
for as long as 
輝け

LIFE REMAINS

"Who Do You Think You Are?" is a song about peeling away all the labels, roles, and expectations we’re taught to identify with — family, work, possessions, ego, even the body itself. At its core, the message is simple: you are not what the world says you are. Beyond names, titles, and illusions, you are love, light, truth, and freedom. This track is a reminder to look deeper, to remember your true essence, and to shine as the star you already are.

Lyrics:

Who Do You Think You Are?

[Verse 1] 
You’re not your past, not your family name 
Not your street, your roots, or your claim to fame 
Not your skin, your flag, or the place you pray 
Not the rules you were taught, or the prices you pay 

[Verse 2] 
You’re not your title, not your nine-to-five 
Not your resume or the car you drive 
Not the clothes you wear or the house where you sleep 
Not the gold on your wrist or the secrets you keep 

[Pre-Chorus] 
You are not what you think you are 
You are not what others think 

[Refrain] 
You are love, eternity 
You are light, infinity 
You are truth, original flame 
Joy, peace, soul — you have no name 
You are real, you are free, 
You’re exactly who you’re meant to be 

[Verse 3] 
You’re not your body, not your highs or lows 
Not your sickness or the pain that grows 
Not your failures or the fears you hide 
Not the voice of your ego pulling you aside 

[Verse 4] 
You’re not your timeline or your ticking age 
Not the numbers written on a worldly page 
You’re not the trends, not the masks you wear 
You’re not the silence when no one cares 

[Pre-Chorus] 

[Refrain] 

[Bridge] 
You are the witness, the spark, the fire 
The breath behind every deep desire 
You are the stillness behind the storm 
The endless sky, the unborn form 

[Refrain] 

[Outro] 
So who do you think you are? Look again — you are the star

Feed the Darkness - A hymn for the shadow within.
This song dives into the parts of ourselves we’re taught to hide — the chaos, the pain, the mystery — and finds beauty there. It’s not about fear. It’s about integration. Because even the shadows deserve to be heard.
A sad-girl-meets-Goth reflection on the beauty of darkness. We embraces the ache, the mystery, and the quiet strength that lives in the dark. It’s about becoming whole. Let the night sing back to you. 
Can you tell which horror show inspired the intro vocalization?

Feed the darkness

[Verse 1]
Oh my darling
I like the pretty little dark things
It‘s something I have always quite enjoyed
I‘m wondering what moves and drives them
And is there light behind it all?

[Bridge]
I need to see the darkness, feel it
It’s almost like I need my darkness fix
It calms me down and soothes my feelings
When I'm lost in my mind’s old tricks

[Chorus]
And you must always feed your darkness
Or it will surely feed on you
I know it very  well, my darling
For there is darkness in me, too.

Feed the darkness
Or it will feed on you

[Verse 2]
Oh my darling,
You're such a pretty little dark thing
You make my withered heart just skip a beat
Been staring at the sun too long now
So I deserve a little treat

[Bridge]
Now let me feel the darkness, taste it
Come over here, my little darkness fix 
You calm me down and sooth my feelings
With just one look I am transfixed

[Chorus]
And you must always feed your darkness
Or it will surely feed on you
I know it very well, my darling
For there is darkness in me, too.

[Outro]
Feed the darkness
Or it will feed on you

Feed the darkness
Or it will feed on you

Feed the Darkness
