Ghosted

I think I just missed a turn 
I shouldn’t have made
I just paid a toll I shouldn’t have paid.
Life has dreams that never come true, 
He said, “take a chance on me, I took a chance with you.”

And I got ghosted
Yeah, I got ghosted
He turned every fear I had against me,
Now I’m standing alone in my shame
Yeah, I got ghosted.

Some carry grievances
They refuse to evaluate.
I think it’s time I say
I was one of those who wanted to retaliate!
I let you lead me astray.
I let you lead me into hate.
I guess it’s on me to accept the cause of my fate.

I got ghosted
Yeah you ghosted me
You turned every friend I had against me,
Now I’m standing alone in my shame
Yeah, I got ghosted.

I think I missed the adrenaline rush
I shouldn’t have been so inhuman
that’s the drug we all been dealt
It’s the drug that you been pushin’
My life had dreams that never came true, 
So, I took a chance, I took a chance, and I was a fool. 

And then I got ghosted. 
Yeah, you ghosted me.

You turned every friend I had against me,
Now I’m standing here in my shame
Yeah, I got ghosted.

HCR 08172025:

Trump has misunderstood the nature of power in a democracy at home, too. Rather than building domestic coalitions to support the government, he is overseeing the takeover of the government by a radical minority that seems to think the way to build power is for the government to attack its own people.

The administration’s defunding of scientific research, medical care, environmental protection, food safety and security, and emergency management all threaten Americans’ health, safety, and security. Its attacks on history and education, as well as its firing of women and racial and gender minorities, seem designed to drive wedges among Americans. Its incarceration and disappearing of undocumented migrants both creates an “other” for Trump loyalists to hate and provides a warning of what could happen to the regime’s opponents.

Now, under the guise of fighting crime, the administration has quite literally turned guns on the American people.

We wait and see how it goes by Nova J

(Ooh-ooh, ahhh, ahhh, ahhh)

How do kids connect these days?
When screens are always in the way?
What’s the point of outdoor play
When you swipe the sun away?

Glad I grew up without the net
Millennial child with some regrets 
I was young n’ dumb without SnapChat
Nude selfies, there was none of that!

(Ooh-ooh, la-la, ohhh)
We wait and see how it goes
(Ooh-ooh, la-la, ohhh)
Soak up the sun, roll down the windows 
(Ooh-ooh, la-la, ohhh)
You never really know
(Ooh-ooh, la-la, ohhh)
So we wait and see how it goes

Library cards and DVDs
Monty Python, midnight cheese
Pizza’s hot, ice cream pops
Two-for-one at the local shop

Nostalgia, yes. I messed up too.
When it comes to regrets I’ve paid my dues.
Demons came, I shared my room
20 years of impending doom

(Ooh-ooh, la-la, ohhh)
We wait and see how it goes
(Ooh-ooh, la-la, ohhh)
Chasing highs, crashing lows
(Ooh-ooh, la-la, ohhh)
You never really know
(Ooh-ooh, la-la, ohhh)
So we wait and see how it goes

I used to stay up high all nights 
Now I sleep and wake up nice
Used to play with thieves and tricks
Now I crave my baby’s kiss

I’ve been a mess, I’ve played the fool
But all my scars became my tools
Every failure, every mistake
Built the life I have today

(Oh today)
Today is a gift 
(Oh today)
That’s why they call it
(Oh today)
The present 
I live in the now
(Oh today)
Oh, who knows what tomorrow will bring?
(Oh today)
But today it’s time to sing!

(Laaaa la la laaaaa la la laaaa la la laaaa la la laaaa la la laaaaa Laaaa la la laaaaa la la laaaa la la laaaa la la laaaa la la laaaaa
Laaaa la la laaaaa la la laaaa la la laaaa la la laaaa la la laaaaa)

I built a home
(Don’t wanna burn it down)
I found some peace
(Don’t wanna lose it now)
I rebuilt me
(Don’t wanna fade away)
So I keep trying today
(Yeah, I keep trying today)

(Ooh-ooh, la-la, ohhh)
We wait and see how it goes
(Ooh-ooh, la-la, ohhh)
Yeah, we wait and see how it goes
(Ooh-ooh, la-la, ohhh)
You never really know
(Ooh-ooh, la-la, ohhh)
So we wait and see how it goes
(Ooh-ooh, la-la, ohhh)
We wait and see how it goes
(Ooh-ooh, la-la, ohhh)
Yeah, we wait and see how it goes

We wait and see how it goes

Who Am I ?

This track was commissioned for primary school students to sing/ listen to during their class about Buddhism.

It uses a simple phrase from the Enmei Jukku Kannon Gyo, or "Ten-Line Kannon Sutra", translated from the Japanese by the late Zen Master Maezumi Roshi.

Morning Mind is Kanzeon, 
Evening Mind is Kanzeon!

At the Zen River temple, the chant is often followed by a dedication to help those in need due to illness or problems, or as a memorial to those who have passed away.


"This phrase encourages practitioners to focus their minds on Kanzeon, the Bodhisattva of Compassion, in the morning and evening. It emphasises the importance of aligning one's thoughts and consciousness with this figure of compassion at both the beginning and end of the day.

The chant serves not just as a statement but as an invitation to cultivate a compassionate and mindful state of being from the start of each day. It encourages individuals to connect with the essence of Kanzeon and her boundless compassion, helping to initiate the day with intention and focus. The complete sutra, especially this phrase, is commonly used in Zen Buddhist practices, including chanting during zazen (seated meditation) and other ceremonies."

"Fall to the Inferno" is a raw descent into the burning heart of inner collapse.
Produced by EileenNoise, this track blends grunge grit with haunting melody.
With Sophie Ellison on vocals and guitar, her voice bleeds emotion — fierce, broken, unforgettable.

Distorted guitars, infernal imagery, and lyrics like ash on skin:
for those who’ve touched the darkness… and stayed a while.

🎧 Turn it up. Feel the fall.

Produced by EileenNoise

[Verse]
I climbed the ladder it burned my hands
Ashes rained like a blackened sand
The air was thick it cut my throat
Choking on the fire that hope once wrote

[Chorus]
Fall fall to the inferno
No escape no tomorrow
Fall fall to the inferno
Where the flames swallow sorrow

[Verse 2]
The ground it split a molten grin
Pulled me down to the depths within
Screams like echoes in a broken shell
Heaven slammed its door welcome to hell

[Prechorus]
The shadows laughed they know my name
No one left to share the blame

[Chorus]
Fall fall to the inferno
No escape no tomorrow
Fall fall to the inferno
Where the flames swallow sorrow

[Bridge]
Red rivers run where dreams decay
Time melts like wax drips away
The devil hums a lullaby
And I can't scream I can't cry

Fall to the inferno

run Rabbit run

When The Rain Washes Us Away

Thank you for listening to my music, I think I have found the right sound and I needed so much more practice.  The feedback has been amazing and helpful, we all need guidance and I need more than most. For me music is about self expression and I focus more on the emotion than been a Diva. What is fame?  A concept and for some it is important but for me my music is to bring solace to those who listen.  That is what years of music has done for me, helped me understand myself and fight my demons. The amount of tears I shed listening to music and how it helped me heal, that was the most important thing music helped me do, heal! Writing my own songs was cathartic and I released years of suppressed trauma and pain. Beautiful!
My timing is all over the place as I cannot do maths and my dyspraxia means my motor skills are rubbish and my guitar playing limited. Thank you for your support.  Keep on playing and singing! These tracks are my unplugged versions, as I am a musician but not a performer, so this is as close as I get to performing live! Thank you again for taking the time to listen!

(FR) IS BACK! est une incantation rythmique, un retour de l’étrange, du grinçant et du fantasmagorique. Place à une ambiance cinématographique, organique, et délicatement tordue.
Orgue gothique, rires hantés, textures granuleuses… chaque élément évoque un carnaval spectral au clair de lune.
Un groove bancal, possédé, irrésistible. 🎃

(EN) IS BACK! is a rhythmic incantation, a twisted carnival of haunted textures and spectral grooves.
Welcome to the realm of cinematic weirdness, gothic organs, and possessed breaks.
Ghostly laughs, dusty drums, and moonlit shadows weave a tale that’s equal parts playful and eerie.
The pumpkin doesn’t dance. It stalks the beat. 🕷️

IS BACK

What Do They Eat

Electronic, song. "Invincible"  
Longtime ago I had this recurring nightmare, a typical scene of being chased,  by something very frightening... 
I was running away from something very scary, down lanes, roads and passageways. In one of these dreams I ran so fast I had to jump over a fence that suddenly appeared in front of me,
 as I leapt over it I took off!  , I was flying!... flying through this city, 
 anyways, back to the point. Years later I had the nightmare again, but this time I was frightened so much I woke up ! 
 at that point I realised this was that old recurring nightmare, 
so I decided to go straight back to sleep and try to bring that nightmare back and go looking for what ever was chasing me remembering it was just a dream. And I did just that!
...in dreams you can be invincible :)

Invincible

(✍ LYRICS TRANSLATION BELOW)A song written and composed in tribute to all the people who suffer from confinement, hospitalization, isolation, loneliness, to families who have lost a loved one, to our elders who we cannot visit and who are leaving alone ...

"DANS LE CREUX DE TES REINS"
"IN THE HOLLOWS OF YOUR LOINS"
*Lyrics, vocal, mix KidofEarth*

Enclosed between 4 white walls,
I was however well nestled between your breasts.
Locked up, still for how long?
How gray the weather is! I don't see anything anymore.

I want to find you at the bottom of the bed
of our endless love.
Breathe, run away from here
and feel the warmth of your hands.
Kneeling on the floor of my room
with empty walls that speak only of boredom,
I pray that it will be returned to me,
my freedom, my darling freedom ...

I was however well, in the hollow of your loins...

Sprawled on this damn white bed,
I dream of a new spring.
Still taste these divine moments
passed in the hollow of your loins ...

:music is art:

:music is my drug:

:beautifully imperfect:

:music is my medicine:

- I see silence as a blank slate | a fresh canvas | an empty sky - 

- sometimes you can say more with music than you can say with words - 

- I typically use my first takes while recording unless I royally mess up -

- I believe in performance & emotion over overproduction & perfection - 

- I probably shouldn’t be telling you all this but then I guess I wouldn’t be staying true to myself if I didn’t - and what’s the point in that -

- the truth is in the flaws -

!STAY BEAUTIFUL!

!STAY SAFE!

!STAY ALIVE!
