On the starship’s bridge, a mesmerizing, ethereal projection of the galaxy map floated above the navigation console, its constellations shimmering.

Walk on By (Demo)

An impromptu virtual jam with my American brothers and #blabbuds from the past long weekend.   Soundmind brought us a simple progression, some lyrics along with a cool melody and we all added a little of this and a pinch of that and a dab or two of the other thing and here's what we concocted. 

Check it out and.... ENJOY!!!!

APRIL CRIES BLACK RAIN

Time

This song is my response to the way Dr. King’s words are so often softened, selectively quoted, or made comfortable long after his warnings were ignored. “Not the Dream” is about the tension between the dream people love to celebrate and the hard truth they still resist living out. It speaks to the silence, the complacency, and the false peace that values order over justice, especially in moments when speaking up feels risky or inconvenient. I wrote this as a reminder that Dr. King’s legacy wasn’t just about hope — it was about courage, action, and moral discomfort. This song isn’t meant to accuse for the sake of anger, but to call us back to responsibility, honesty, and the kind of love that refuses to look away.


LYRICS:

[Verse 1]
They hang his words on marble walls
Polish the parts that don’t offend
They love the dream they learned to quote
They hate the warning at the end

They wave the flag, they sing it loud
Call it peace if it stays neat
But justice whispered in a jail
Still rattles cages in the street

[Pre-Chorus]
You say the past is settled now
That time has done the work for us
But time doesn’t bend on its own
It bends when someone pushes back

[Chorus]
This is not the dream he died for
Not the promise dressed in red and blue
They’re pulling the arc with bloody hands
Trying to snap it in two
But history remembers who stood
And who the silence belonged to

[Verse 2]
They preach restraint to the broken ones
While fury eats the truth alive
They call it order, call it law
As if obedience means survive

You quote his dream, you block the road
When living truth walks into view
You light a candle once a year
Then curse the fire when it’s you

[Pre-Chorus 2]
He warned you of the quiet ones
Who choose their comfort over right
Who fear the noise of justice more
Than the violence of polite

[Chorus]
This is not the dream he died for
Not the promise dressed in red and blue
They’re pulling the arc with bloody hands
Trying to snap it in two
But history remembers who stood
And who the silence belonged to

[Bridge]
If peace means keep your head down low
And justice waits its turn
Then peace is just another lie
We’re finally meant to learn

Love without truth is empty noise
Hope without action fades
He didn’t dream so you could sleep
While the world stayed chained

[Final Chorus]
This is not the dream he died for
But it’s the fight he warned us through
They’re pulling the arc with bloody hands
Trying to snap it in two
But history remembers who stood
And who the silence belonged to

[Outro]
You can quote the dream forever
But the warning still speaks to you

Not the Dream

Another tale from the great AI debate

Lyrics:

One day you will understand 
That shipping and pdt market fit
Is more important than anything else. 
AI is for failing a million times at minimal cost
That's what big companies could do.
It just increases hit rate 
You can push a perfectly coded 
Safety critical application
For healthcare but you can still fail 
In the market from unpredictable issues 
And you would have wasted ten years building it

A devastating female actuary
Was emulating the tooth fairy
And proceeded to tell me that
Human thinking is costly
Egoistic time consuming
Delay dependent and unnecessary 
For something cheap almost accurate 
Infinitely patient and on time
To save yourself a dime
You should use mind in head

And here is what i said

A mind in head 
Is worth two in the facepalm
And as she was applying her lip balm
I spoke of what i had read
And without further aplomb
Went back to using Claude instead

See this is exactly why 
Verification matters 
Automating without ownership
Only compounds problems

Lyrics 

Chase your dreams 

A heart full of fire, a spirit bold.
Hears the call of heroes, stories untold.
Quirks in his hands and friends by his side.
Izuku’s ready, he won’t run or hide.

Training hard every day, All Might's strong guide.
Feels weight of the world but won't turn aside.
Facing down villains, the darkness inside.
He's not perfect, but he'll take it in stride.

Rise up! Rise up!
Power ignite.
Ultra Rumble. 
Stand up and fight!
Trials and battles. 
Learn what it means.
Better each day.
Chase all your dreams!

Midoriya’s heart, a will made of steel.
No matter the struggle, never conceal.
Fights for his comrades, for justice, for light.
Courage ablaze, he’ll embrace every fight.

Rise up! Rise up!
Power ignite.
Ultra Rumble. 
Stand up and fight!
Trials and battles. 
Learn what it means.
Better each day.
Chase all your dreams!   

Enemies lurking, but fear has no place.
Spirit of heroes runs deep in his veins.
In the face of danger, never back down.
The hero within wears victory’s crown.

Rise up! Rise up!
Power ignite.
Ultra Rumble. 
Stand up and fight!
Trials and battles. 
Learn what it means.
Better each day.
Chase all your dreams!

Chase your dreams

The Ocean ( to a poem by Nathaniel Hawthorne)
Music by Klaas Versteeg, guest vocals by Nico Roos, drums by Rob Held.

Part One: (sung by Klaas)
Listen! You hear the grating roar of pebbles
Which the waves draw back
And fling, at their return up the high strand
Begin and cease and then begin again

Come to the window, sweet is the night air
Come smell the ocean 
It’s here and everywhere Come to the window, sweet is the night air
Come smell the ocean 
It’s here and everywhere

Part Two: (sung by Nico)
The Ocean has its silent caves,
Deep, quiet, and alone;
Though there be fury on the waves,
Beneath them there is none.

All the spirits of the deep
Hold their communion there;
And there are those for whom we weep,
The young, the bright, the fair.

Calmly the wearied seamen rest
Beneath their own blue sea.
The ocean solitudes are blest,
For there is purity.

The earth has guilt, the earth has care,
Unquiet are its graves;
But peaceful sleep is ever there,
Beneath the dark blue waves.

The Ocean - Nicolas Project Featuring Nico Roos & Rob Held

I like music of the seventies and eighties a lot. I took my favorite weapon and composed and played this instrumental as a peaceful guitar warrior.

"One doesn’t need to become a peaceful warrior. By virtue of living here, on planet Earth, each and every one of us is a peaceful warrior in training — to the degree that we strive to live with a more peaceful heart… but also recognize that there are times we need to live with a warrior spirit." --Dan Millman

Peaceful Warrior - Nicolas Project

I combined hammond organ, guitars and flute. 
I love playing real instruments. 

On Love Lock Bridge, you can seal your love and throw away the key.
After a few years most of the locks are removed, but real love and hope always survive.

Love is the key

Love Lock Bridge - Nicolas Project

Inspired by the  Shwedagon Pagoda in Myanmar. 
One of the world wonders for sure, this Pagoda shows only marvelous beauty.
We re-recorded this instrumental piece with a full band.

The flute is a fantastic instrument for rock?
I think it is.

Aqua Longing - Nicolas Project

A funky song about how the quirky rambles of life and love are more important in the end than the bright dazzling beginnings.
Music by Klaas Versteeg / lyrics by Sheena Hope

The Fire - Nicolas Project

A forgotten dream that began a long time ago traveling in the metro in Mexico City and recently remembered again on the Paris subway in a  Deja Vu experience.

06 - Flashbacks Of The Future

Nick McAlley is a singer-songwriter , multi-instrumentalist and music teacher. He records and produces his own music in his little studio in Belgium. He plays the guitars, bass, drums, sax, flute, keyboard, harmonica, mandolin. 
He is on tour with his music in Holland, Belgium and Germany, entertaining listeners and linedancers at every concert. 
He is influenced by many styles, but country music is one of his favorites. In the seventies he was a member of Dizzy Man's Band, in the eighties he played in theatres in in 3 musical productions. 
In this millennium he started his own act as a solo-performer. He recorded 4 albums and 1 single so far. 
Being an optimist he knows that you will take some time to listen to his heartfelt music. Better an optimist who is wrong , than a pessimist who is right....

I am a pro musician and multi-instrumentalist and singer. 
My main instrument is the tenor sax though. 
I was a member of a famous Dutch band, the Dizzy Man's Band. 
I played in big theatre shows and musicals and later on had a solo career as Nick McAlley.
 I still feel the urge to write and record my own music.  
 I thank you for taking the time to listen!  Especially if you're an old soul with a young heart.
