Lyrics

It’s a dark cave, and it swallows you up
Carribean waves, bold and seductive
Majestically they try to lure you
You’d like to go but they’d engulf you

“I want my peace”, is what he says with a grimace and frown 
His head bows down
“If it wouldn’t have been for you bastards I’d be long gone”

The sunlight can seem so cynical
It’s kindness you take as hypocritical 
Personally I’d like to avoid strife
But go ahead and make an opera of your life

Cave

Lyrics

Make a palace out of this dreary room
Harsh electric lights reveal a hidden allure 
Come, take your glass, let the grimness go
Fragile, unlikely charm at moments so rare
Old coat, a smoke, you say: “Let’s have one more”
“Good night” on the street, I make my way home
Lonely night, your image clear
The fog will lift by morning light

Dreary

Seq32 L L L L L L L L   Unleashed and indomitable Ballad    (short version)

“Please remember the real me when I cannot remember you.” 
This is a true story of a daughter and her mother who has been captured by dementia. 
The disease might hide the person underneath, but there is still a person in there who needs love and attention. In those challenging and uncertain moments, the compassionate caregiver is a hero who needs to have infinite understanding and courage without any expectations. 

Those with dementia might forget us but we must remember and celebrate them through their journey. There’s no time to waste. We all know the last chapter in the book.

She Doesn't Know Me Anymore

The sun goes down on everyone 
© Andrew Dolphin

Do you feel you’re alive
That your soul is aligned 
With the life you’ve assigned yourself
Throw a coin in the wishing well
Hang your hat upon a fortune tellers spell
Left to chance and not to choice

The sun goes down on everyone 
Grab those chances when they come
We can’t look back at a life of regrets
When the sun goes down on us
When the sun goes down on us

Always busy with life 
As those days pass us by 
We can do when tomorrow comes
Comfort is a safety net
Waiting for the day we’ll win a safe odds bet
Left to chance not to choice

The sun goes down on everyone 
Grab those chances when they come
We can’t look back at a life of regrets
When the sun goes down on us
When the sun goes down on us

We don’t know where we’re heading
But we can choose which path to walk
And even though we walk it blindside
Only we can light it up 
Light it up

The sun goes down on everyone 
Grab those chances when they come
We can’t look back at a life of regrets
When the sun goes down on us
When the sun goes down on us

The Sun Goes Down On Everyone

Relax

It’s all going to go away
so use up all you can today
Hoard all the manna of progress you find,
suck it all down ‘til it makes you go blind

You were drinking your ambrosia and feeding on the fat
as the dinner bell of plenty started ringing flat.
You were basking in the sweetness of luxury and leisure,
wading in the excrement of unconscionable pleasure

Buy a thing, another thing, and then some things to house them,
eat the leaves and gnaw the roots and suck the juicy stems.
Frivolous and carefree, living second to second…
(the skeletal hand of the future now beckons).

Spend your way to nowhere with debts you’ll never manage
Soulless and rapacious and mindless of the damage
Driving towards the better life (always one purchase farther)
down a road paved with all the lives our countries bartered

Driving by in my SUV.

The worlds is a playground for your appetites,
as long as it feels good it must be right.
And little dark people are working so hard
so you can max out your fat credit card.

You have hungers and desires the past could not imagine
and you don’t see how your consumption fans the fires of famine.
Images flicker on the screen that speak of desperation
caused by the sick desires of a fat decadent nation.

Watch them die on my big TV.

The inner melodies that overcome my mind during Summer 2025 🫠

Verano

Music for everyone, music for others. A life against the current. No genre in music! It is too simplistic to give a genre to everything!! Music is an expression of human emotions and it is necessary to learn to understand humanity in its complexity.
