In his final days,my father vividly saw things which obviously weren't there. He was otherwise sound of mind,so this was very odd. That's when I found out about Charles Bonnet syndrome.

Charles Bonnet syndrome causes a person whose vision has started to deteriorate to see things that aren't real.

The hallucinations may be simple patterns, or detailed images of events, people or places.

They're only visual and don't involve hearing things or any other sensations.

It's important to be aware that hallucinations associated with Charles Bonnet syndrome are caused by failing eyesight. They're not caused by a mental health problem or dementia.

People with Charles Bonnet syndrome are usually aware that the visions aren't real, even if they're vivid.
There are 2 main types of hallucination that people with Charles Bonnet syndrome tend to experience.

They may see:

simple repeated patterns
complex images of people, objects or landscapes
Simple repeated patterns can take the form of grids, shapes or lines, which can appear in bright or vivid colours. The patterns may lay across or cover everything the person sees.

More complex hallucinations can involve people, places, animals and insects.


There's a great big dog
Outside my window
Why he's alone,I really don't know
I can see him there
Plain as the day

There's a small bird there
On my windowsill
If you look really hard
He's there still
I can see him there
Plain as the day

I think they're trying to kill me
But I don't really mind
I long to be free
To be unconfined
I can see it now
Plain as the day

I see myself with your mother
On a golden afternoon
No wheelchair to roll me
My legs still below me
I hope it happens soon

Charles Bonnet

Peaceful Days

This is a song inspired by current events not about a current war but all wars ..the only way for the human race to survive is to try and live in peace and harmony and respect all living creatures..
lyrics
I dont want to live in a world like this
everyday on the outside getting hard to exist
running out of fuel ..they keep raising the prices
theres a war down in europe and i know we are in crisis
we need a solution/to put an end to all wars 
dont need these dictators or what they are fighting for
telling you and the others/how to live your lifes
all there dirty agenders on the edge of a knife

What if your country changed and lost its peace took center stage
and all the guns and arms were gone to love you all and sing some songs
WHAT IF ? there was no police and protests to take belief
surrender all ye fellow men lay down your arms and start again
dont let the weight of this world
rest on your fate or what you been sold

I dont want to see all this pointless suffering
dropping bombs and killing and nobodys gonna win
tell all the people its for freedom of the land
and the media machines are there to take your hands
Dont need these intruders/invasion of the skys
guns and blood and tears now /open up your eyes 
no care for environment. no fear takes the blame
all for gas and religion we dont think the same 

live together in harmony rest together in peace
respect every living creature try and find a release
lay down your arms my friend what you fighting for
theres no winners on the edge of abyss of a stupid war

Lofty Castle
A lofty castle of my own
Like Crusoe pulls up the ladder to be alone
Steerforth, he is our guiding star
Inns of molten blue; that’s our repertoire
“Fill full your cups”

I hear the squawk of corkscrew sound
Long before it’s needed for the next maroon round
I’ve laughed at my own jokes all night
How town sharpens an appetite

Trickling trust divine
“Crackling fever” free
“Unaccustomed wine”
What deceiver it could be

“Vast truths that mortals seldom” found

I heard someone fall down the stairs
False reports the tumbler was in fact truly yours
Perhaps there’s foundation after all
I’m on my back on the passage floor

Trickling trust divine
“Crackling fever” free
“Unaccustomed wine”
What deceiver it could be

“But still we held as time flew by”

Who’s that smoking right by the fireplace? It was me!
Who’s that leaning out of the window? It was me!
Contemplate one self in the mirror? That was me too!

Trickling trust divine
“Crackling fever” free
“Unaccustomed wine”
What deceiver it could be

“Drink to me only with your eyes”

Lofty Castle

Good mouth feel, aromatic bouquet. Contains the essence of everything.

LYRICS
===========================
it's in the air it's in the seed
it's in the want it's in the need
it's in the bottle

it's in the breath it's in the word
it's in the mouse it's in the bird
it's in the bottle

All we sow
All we grow
Everything which ripens in the sun

All who bleed
All with seed
Everything is soil when it comes undone

it's in the soil it's in the root
it's in the stem it's in the fruit
it's in the bottle

it's in the stars it's in the sky
it's in the truth it's in the lie
it's in the bottle

All we sow
All we grow
Everything which ripens in the sun

All who bleed
All with seed
Everything is soil when it comes undone

it's in the will it's in the feral
it's in the still it's in the barrel
it's in the bottle

it's in the heart it's in the mind
it's in the stomach it's in the spine
it's in the bottle

it's in the thorn it's in the rose
it's on your tongue it's in your nose
it's in the bottle

it's in the book it's on the wall
it's in the jump it's in the fall
it's in the bottle

Lyrics:
Baby, the world is going down
Baby, the world will sink and drown
War and destruction all around
Let´s play our favorite music loud

Save the last dance, save the last dance for me

Baby, The world is in a mess
Warlords are playing bloody chess
Split and reign and suppress
Babe, I put on my finest dress

Save the last dance, save the last dance for me

Baby, we have a wild romance
Baby, you give my life a chance
Maybe the world comes to an end
Let´s put on the dancing shoes and dance

Save the last dance, save the last dance for me

Baby, the whole world´s got the blues
Baby, there´s nothing left to lose
Baby, you know that I love you
Kiss me, let´s dance the whole night through

Save The Last Dance For Me

The Turtle Project and me have collaborated on a new tune , Turtle sent me the track and i toplined on it , go hear his work :-https://soundcloud.com/turtle-project
LYRICS:-
Have you been away so long
And don't know how
To pick the phone up
And utter that word "HI"
Have you sat on lonely street
And don't know why
You torture yourself
All the days and nights

I have , I do , 
My thoughts
Get in the way
I've been thinking
Too much
My thoughts
Get in the way

Letting everything pile up
Is my forte
Procrastination
I can do so well
Desire to change is something
I can't find inside
I want the world to change
How can I help ?

So I , I write
My thoughts
Get in the way
I've been thinking
Too much
My thoughts 
Get in the way

Never thought that my fears
Would ever take over again
Even after the things
That I've learned
I'm here again
But I know I can stop
The spinning of this damn
Merry-go-round
Jumping off the ferris wheel
I can land on the ground

I have , I do 
My thoughts
Get in the way
I've been thinking
Too much
My thoughts
Get in the way

Electric piano is the Logic Pro X Classic Suitcase MkI. 

Sometimes a lost suitcase has a more interesting journey than the traveler. I remember flying domestically in Spain and my suitcase going on an extended  journey. It was only found because I remembered my flight from Madrid to Barcelona actually continued to Cairo. After a few missteps I convinced the airline to search at Cairo International and it all ended well, but only one day before I had to leave for home. This track could easily be modified if anybody wants to divert the suitcase to a different pair of countries. Just let me know and I'll send the stems.

Babe, wake up it's a beautiful day
Feel the sun bring a smile to your face
I've been alone for so long
Can't get a hold of you
Screaming but nobody's home
Calling but I'm getting nothing from you
time made us older still fight like a soldier I'm not giving up on the truth
I'm getting nothing from you
Head full of dreams we'll have all that we need I am not gonna stop until we do
wasn't thunder was a bomb just a bomb there's
No time to wonder what went wrong it went wrong move on, move on, move on move on
That wasn't thunder just a bomb just a bomb baby
No time to wonder what went wrong it went wrong move on, move on, move on move on
Babe, wake up it's a beautiful day
Feel the sun bring a smile to your face
I've been alone for so long
Can't get a hold of you
Screaming but nobody's home
Calling but I'm getting nothing from you
time made us older still fight like a soldier I'm not giving up on the truth
I'm getting nothing from you
Head full of dreams we'll have all that we need I am not gonna stop until we do
Babe, wake up it's a beautiful day
Feel the sun put a smile on your face
I've been alone so long
Can't get a hold of you
Screaming but nobody's home
Calling but I'm getting nothing from you
time made us older still fight like a soldier I'm not giving up on the truth
I'm getting nothing from you
Head full of dreams we'll have all that we need I am not gonna stop until we do
Not gonna stop until we do
Not giving up on the truth
Not gonna give up on you
Not giving up on the truth never give up on you
Original 3/3 chord progression written by Dave Ferrairo
Mike Molino vocals, piano, drums, bass, guitar, synth, lyrics 
Mike: Dave sent me this 3/3 chord progression that he came up with on acoustic guitar. I had it in my playlist for about a year. One day while sitting in my car waiting for my daughter to come out of Lacrosse practice it came on and I started singing "Calling but I'm getting nothing from you". I went home and played it on the piano. Had to add the D G C part at the end of the chorus to fit the vocal melody. And if you want to really get musician nerdy I had to go to the F# a measure early for "I've been alone for so long" for it to land on "long". I didn't want it to stay slow throughout the entire song so I added the 4/4 part after the first chorus "wasn't thunder was a bomb...." and that brought me back to the verse but more up tempo and still 4/4. I had to cut that off to get back to 3/3 chorus so I created "screaming but nobody's home" which allowed me to stop making it easy to pick up with the 3/3 chorus

Camouflage Pattern

A Journal of Nonsense by Clay Young & Becky Coleman

Outlaw Biker Dude

I opened one of my poetry anthologies randomly and stumbled on this short, heartfelt verse by Anne Brontë. I kept the singing quite simplistic as it seemed more important to sing/read it accurately than with any stylistic flare, and Andy accompanied me, and did all the technical stuff. We hope you enjoy our rendition of it.

“My soul is awakened, my spirit is soaring
And carried aloft on the wings of the breeze;
For above and around me the wild wind is roaring,
Arousing to rapture the earth and the seas.
The long withered grass in the sunshine is glancing,
The bare trees are tossing their branches on high;
The dead leaves, beneath them, are merrily dancing,
The white clouds are scudding across the blue sky.
I wish I could see how the ocean is lashing
The foam of its billows to whirlwinds of spray;
I wish I could see how its proud waves are dashing,
And hear the wild roar of their thunder today!”

Lines Composed in a Wood on a Windy Day (Anne Brontë)

cold shivers have bitten the flowers in the garden's mind
and the fever trees try to lighten the hall of the blind
the blind faith in progress decided on how the world runs
and sooner or later the killing of eden is done
 
it's no time for butterflies
when the whore of babylon is on the way to the sky
no time for butterflies
anymore

the trees are sending s.o.s. from the roots into the crown
and the creation's crown explains it was all the time the same, an up and down
but this time maybe it's a little bit different
when the sea breathes plastic we're close to the start of the bitter end

it's no time for butterflies
when the whore of babylon is on the way to the sky
no time for butterflies
anymore
