“You Want It Darker” is solemn and chilling from the moment the song starts, the sound of a choir and organ contrast against a grooving electric bass line, carrying the same gravitas as David Bowie’s posthumous release, Blackstar. Cohen delivers haunting lyrics in his raspy baritone, talking yet almost singing, singing yet almost talking, in his trademark performance style.
Though “You Want It Darker” is a somber tune, it effectively tackles an enormous moral and philosophic dilemma without being presumptuous, a feat that only a master such as Leonard Cohen could manage. "             Medium

In my soul

“In My Soul” is a heartfelt and poetic journey exploring passion, purpose, and creative expression. This song reflects on overcoming doubt and fear, finding connection, and embracing the beauty of life’s canvas. With uplifting lyrics and soulful melodies, it serves as a celebration of gratitude, inspiration, and the dreams that ignite our spirits. Perfect for moments of reflection and creative inspiration.

Lyrics:
[verse 1]
In my soul, 
a longing burned,
A dream, a passion, 
my heart yearned.
To weave words, 
to paint with my pen,
A poet's journey, 
no end.

[chorus]
Reflecting on this path I've trod,
Filled with gratitude, 
blessed by God.
Dreams fuel our desires,
Ignite our souls, 
set us on fire.

[verse 2]
Through doubt and fear, 
I found my way,
With each verse, 
my soul would say.
Seeking connection, 
making whole,
Pouring out 
from deep within my soul.

[chorus]
Reflecting on this path I've trod,
Filled with gratitude, 
blessed by God.
Dreams fuel our desires,
Ignite our souls, 
set us on fire.

[reprise-verse 2]
Through doubt and fear, 
I found my way,
With each verse, 
my soul would say.
Seeking connection, 
making whole,
Pouring out 
from deep within my soul.

[chorus]
Reflecting on this path I've trod,
Filled with gratitude, 
blessed by God.
Dreams fuel our desires,
Ignite our souls, 
set us on fire.

[Bridge]
Wandering, 
seeking a new muse,
Finding solace 
where nature infused.
At the edge, 
where land meets sea,
Cosmos whispers, 
inspiring me.

[verse 3]
I gazed at the stars, 
in their timeless embrace,
And realized my purpose, 
my unique place.
A single note 
in the symphony of life,
Contributing beauty, 
amid struggle and strife.

[chorus]
Reflecting on this path I've trod,
Filled with gratitude, 
blessed by God.
Dreams fuel our desires,
Ignite our souls, 
set us on fire.

[outro]
Embrace passions, 
embrace dreams,
Dance in moonlight, 
where magic gleams.
Life's a canvas, 
awaiting art,
Dreams are whispers, 
igniting the heart.

In "Noah's Going to Bring the Flood," Bobby Clayton weaves a compelling narrative that explores themes of turmoil, hope, and rebirth through the lens of a modern-day flood allegory. The song opens with an introspective verse that captures the pain and struggles of the human experience. Clayton's lyrics evoke a sense of urgency, as he implores listeners to stop the cycle of hurt and conflict, highlighting the need for healing in a world fraught with division. 

As the song progresses, the chorus serves as a powerful and anthemic rallying cry, repeating the assertion that "Noah's going to bring the flood." This phrase symbolises a cleansing force, suggesting that change is inevitable and perhaps even necessary for growth and renewal. The imagery of Noah, a figure synonymous with survival and new beginnings, resonates deeply, inviting listeners to reflect on their own journeys toward freedom and redemption. 

In the second verse, Clayton juxtaposes the choices we face—whether to build a mansion or an ark—calling attention to the paths we can take in the face of adversity. The lyrics delve into the idea of divine creation and the consequences of living in doubt, emphasising that we must confront our fears and embrace the unknown. The notion of swimming until the end reinforces the importance of resilience and hope, encouraging listeners to hold onto their dreams even in challenging times. 

Musically, the song blends elements of folk and rock, featuring an upbeat rhythm that complements the hopeful message of the lyrics. Clayton's passionate vocals and evocative storytelling create an engaging listening experience, leaving audiences inspired and reflective. "Noah's Going to Bring the Flood" is not just a song; it's a call to action, urging us to rise above our struggles and prepare for the transformative tides ahead.

Noahs Going to Bring the Flood

A guru teaches a seeker how to discover a person's true nature

The Heart's True Nature

Stayed is an album about the kinds of love that don’t shout, but linger. Built on quiet moments, half-closed doors, and the echoes of words never said, each track traces the soft ache of connection—how it forms, how it frays, and how it somehow endures. These aren’t grand declarations. They’re confessions left on voice memos. Glances held too long. Goodbyes that felt like maybe.

With textures ranging from ambient folk to cinematic indie, Stayed drifts through longing, memory, and stillness. Some songs ask to be heard in headphones at midnight. Others belong to empty roads or rooms that still hold someone’s scent.

This is not an album about falling in love.
It’s an album about the people who never left you—
even when they did.

This Wasn't the Plan

I got my Porcelain stitches in
Of course the wind itches em 
All the time 
Packing my bags again
Travel high dragging in
All new signs 

Stop all the press
My friend soda pressed
He’s not with his sugar no more 

Count it on ur chest 
Feel the weight beneath your neck 
Inside your every pore 

Oh this is something that I’ve
Never seen before 
Oh I’ve been wandering and I’m 
Farther than before 

stars on her back
heart in her chest
Eyes like the cosmos
In my mind where she rests 

Come Float with me 
Let’s leave this all behind 
over the sea 
All Thru the sky 

Any place you imagine
And thats where we’ll be
One day I’ll make it happen
Stick around and you’ll see

porcelain stitches .

“What makes a song is the singer, while what makes a singer is their dedication to music and their inner feelings.”   Dimash Qudaibergen

I have enjoyed music for as long as I can remember and cannot remember a day of not either singing or listening to music. I am self-taught when it comes to playing guitar but what I most enjoy is singing which I have been doing since around age 18. Now retired singing and playing the guitar is now just a hobby and something I do to help pass the time. Have always  loved the sound of a Martin guitar. Currently been playing a Road Series DR S2 for about 6 years. Thanks for listening. I also enjoy discovering the sounds of other talented musicians and singers here on SoundCloud.
