peace that flows

Summer's End [English]

"Not Our War" is a powerful anthem of peace and unity in the face of global conflict. The song merges diverse musical styles, from the earnest strumming of folk rock and the rise of the progressive rock, to the soul-stirring harmonies of gospel and the broad appeal of pop rock, culminating in a reflective acoustic ballad. This dynamic blend underscores a message that is both urgent and hopeful, calling on listeners to reject the divisive wars of the elite and embrace a life lived in harmony. With its compelling lyrics and resonant themes, "Not Our War" is a clarion call for change, encouraging all to stand together for a peaceful future. It's a song that doesn't just speak to the moment but cries out for justice and unity in a world too often torn apart by needless strife.

Not Our War

C’était tout à cause de l’amour (feat. Léo)

The Eternal Echo

For those who say AI kills art, this song is about that.
I made this song to inspire those who have music in their hearts but never had the tools to bring it to life. The lyrics are 100% mine, and while the music was generated with Suno, I spent hours refining it, experimenting, and using up $20 of credits to shape it into exactly what I wanted. It wasn’t just a one-click process, I worked on this like any artist shaping their vision.
In a way, I stepped into the shoes of the character in the song, a dreamer with nothing but words on a page, finally given the power to create. After generating the music, I took it into my DAW and re-mastered it to get it just right, proving that AI isn’t about replacing musicians, it’s about enabling creativity.
And for those who feel unheard, keep creating. Your voice matters.

Falling Without You

Love is Real

Dead Ends and Detours by Hot Cookie

[Verse 1]
I found an old map in the drawer, creased and worn thin,
Highways like scars where we’d both let the world in.
You said, “Follow the lines, they’ll lead you somewhere true,”
But the roads only led me back to you.

[Chorus]
There are maps for the mountains, the rivers, the stars above,
But no compass points to the mess we call love.
We tried to navigate, but the roads never led,
Just dead ends and detours, and words left unsaid.
[music hook]
[Verse 2]
The coffee shop booth where we sat feels like a ghost town now,
Your laugh was a melody I can’t remember how.
I trace the cracks in the table, the ones we used to ignore,
Like the fractures in us we never learned to restore.

[Chorus]
There are maps for the mountains, the rivers, the stars above,
But no compass points to the mess we call love.
We tried to navigate, but the roads never led,
Just dead ends and detours, and words left unsaid.

[Bridge]
I keep the map folded, though it’s useless and torn,
A relic of the places we were never sworn.
The ink’s fading fast, like the promises we made,
But I can’t let go of the roads we never paved.

[Outro]
There are maps for the mountains, the rivers, the skies above,
But no chart can guide me through the wreckage of love.
I’ll keep moving forward, though the road’s unclear,
Maybe the destination’s not why I’m here.
And maybe the beauty’s in the trying, not the rhyme,
In the way we keep searching for what we left behind.

Dead Ends and Detours by Hot Cookie

Text:
(Verse 1) 
Born to rule, a kingdom vast, A wealth so great, the legends last. Gold like rivers, shining bright, A king who bathed the world in light.

(Pre-Chorus)
They call them billionaires today, Thinking fortune fades away. But Musa’s name, it still remains, Through golden lands and ancient reigns.

(Chorus – Sing Along Line)
Ohhh Mansa Musa, King of Gold, Rich in wisdom, strong and bold! Built up knowledge, left his mark, A king of wisdom, strong and stark.

(Verse 2)
Through deserts wide, his caravans, Bringing fortune to the lands. Gave away so much in grace, He changed economies in his place.

(Verse 3 – The End of Musa)
But time will take its final toll, Even kings must lose control. Musa left with nothing grand, No gold could save his mortal hand.

(Bridge – Epic Chanting)
Mali rises, hear the sound, Timbuktu, the knowledge crown. Empires fade, but he remains, A king beyond the mortal gains.

(solo)

(Chorus – Repeat with Sing Along Line)
Ohhh Mansa Musa, King of Gold, Rich in wisdom, strong and bold! Built up knowledge, left his mark, A king of wisdom, strong and stark.

(Outro – Soft & Powerful, Message to Elon)
Not just riches, not just might, But a legacy shining bright. Billionaires will come and go, But Musa’s name will always glow... And when the end of days is near, Gold won’t buy you freedom here...

Mansa Musa – The True King of Gold

A TREASURE AND A HANDFUL by NOVA J

I’ll never forget when we met
Told you not to take me seriously
Isn’t that sad?
Now here we are, we’ve come so far
Still together after all this time
And I’m so glad

I had a lot of healing to do
I was in pieces, you were the glue

You saw what nobody else could see
Beyond my broken personality
You gave me all your love for free
You saw the hidden treasure in me

I’m a treasure and a handful
Poison pleasure, it was painful
But you never called me shameful
You’re a treasure and a handful

High beams in a taxi cab
Scanning sidewalks for someone to grab
Me and a stranger sharing a room
Fighting off the impending doom
But you found me there
No judgment, just care

All the others held a grudge
But you never held back love

You saw what nobody else could see
Beyond my broken personality
You gave me all your love for free
You saw the hidden treasure in me

I’m a treasure and a handful
Poison pleasure, it was painful
But you never called me shameful
You’re a treasure and a handful

Oh, the world is breaking, creating
Oh, the tides are rising, cascading
Oh, the earth is shaking, rearranging
But through it all, you’re the one I call

Helping break my fall
Standing strong and tall

You saw what nobody else could see
Beyond my broken personality
You gave me all your love for free
You saw the hidden treasure in me

I’m a treasure and a handful
Poison pleasure, it was painful
But you never called me shameful
You’re a treasure and a handful

A TREASURE AND A HANDFUL

Slips in silent, velvet steps  
Cigarette lips, secrets kept  
Half in shadow, half in grace  
A thousand lives behind that face  
Not quite hers, not quite his  
Something deeper in the mist  
Turns the world with just one glance  
A quiet storm, a midnight dance

Lady Boy… eyes like smoke, voice like wine  
Lady Boy… walks the edge, breaks the line

Mirror fog and restless hands  
A stranger in both promised lands  
Hearts don’t lie, but names can bend  
And stories change from end to end  
No apologies, no disguise  
Just truth beneath those painted eyes  
They don’t get it, but that’s the point  
Born to blaze, not to appoint

Call it wild, call it wrong  
Call it a hymn in a forbidden song  
But Lady Boy don’t need your praise  
They live in fire, they set the blaze

Lady Boy… eyes like smoke, voice like wine  
Lady Boy… walks the edge, breaks the line  
Lady Boy…
