How can you feel Joy when the US has immigrants eating all the pets hahah and the country is awash in fire and brimstone without a saviour, a most handsome genius, in the White House who can solve all problems in 1 day? Hahah - this is classic Mark Magram track - love it! (This is Don BTW)

Great vocals Mark - I love the touch of air and cool texture in your tone.  Love the pre-chorus going into that "joyful" chorus!  Jacob would be proud of the chorus of Mark's that gave this chorus such polish and shine.  Really lovely lift also Mark.  Oh the Mark's are still working hard - nice background to the verses.  Gorgeous full sound - great writing, recording and production Mark.  I really enjoyed listening to your song.

Fantastic production, Mark.  Super tight mastering.  I'm enamored with your progressions on this one.  Yes, it's very R&B, but it's also very you.  There's something special about this one.  I'd love to hear one thing fleshed out, and that would be to get someone like Brannen Temple or Phil Bass playing on the track.  I think they would complete the organic nature that you have with the keys & vocals (and would probably necessitate some small changes in the bassline to match what they'd do), but they'd totally respect the song & arrangement while injecting that nth element in.

Sick movement, reminiscent of Stevie, just a cool chorus progression. Super jealous of guys like you and Rog that hear outside the typical next chord, and find those progressions that move and grow, create that tension and build to the resolve. Hooky as hell.

Love where you voice is these days. Beautiful production! Love it.

Soulful & elegantly groovy

Song composed (and completed in June 25, 2022) for our sick blue planet, not without residual hope. There is a waste of not fully expressed melodies, as opposed to the waste of resources we make every day.
There is also a piece of musical fugue, the theme of which is continually interrupted, without amusements, without a strict ending and without an adequate conclusion, to express my pain for our planet!

RACCAPRICCIO (Painful Cry For The Earth)

Here's a song I wrote and played.

No I can't even walk 
Down the avenue
Without seeing you 
With someone new

I can't even go 
To the club no more
Oh they'll play our song
You'll be right there on the floor

Yes you're everywhere I go
In everything I do
And every memory
Is tryin to hold on to you

I'm caught up in this all alone
And every day you're gone
You're everywhere I go

Yeah, I'm losing my grip on this
Reality, love, I miss
The way that you call my name
I hear you in everything

And every song that DJ plays
I can hear your sweet harmony
Desire has got me out of my mind
My love it's just a matter on time


And you're everywhere I go
In everything I do
And every memory
Is tryin to hold on to you

I'm caught up in this all alone
And every day you're gone
You're everywhere I go

Joy
Music and Words by Mark Magram (2024)

I was drowning in my tears at my lowest point
Couldn't see a my way out
I never thought I'd see another sunny day
My world was filled with nothing but doubt

I kept on going through the pouring rain
Hoping to outrun the storm
I held on to a vision of a better place
Where everything was peaceful and warm

In the distance I saw your face
And everything imagined was real
You brought me

Joy
Beyond my wildest dreams
And a love I've never seen
So much more than I expected
But always believed I could find
You bring me
Joy
In every single way
To every single day
This is everything I wanted
I'm leaving my dark days behind
...

I was lead around by passion and desire
Always ending up lost
Time and time again I gambled with my heart
Never thought about the cost

You showed me there was another way
Where love is just expected and real
And you don't ever have to fill your head with doubt
Wondering if they feel what you feel

Girl you turned my whole world right side up
Took me from the darkness to light
You brought me

(ch)

This is my new reality
Where everything I need
Is well within my reach

We are going nowhere...
Composed, written, played and mixed by Guglielmo Allegro aka WillyKuma

Nowhere

Your play is hard to see
A curiosity
I get this feeling that you’ve only started
I wasn’t asking for
Some kind of all out war
That ain’t the way to treat the tender hearted
Oh, baby, baby, baby
Why you always taking me down

I know it’s one and done
A dark and setting sun
And I’m okay if that’s the page we’re turning
But, baby, let it be
I’m not your enemy
You may be testing me, but girl I’m learning
Oh, baby, baby
Why you always taking me down

I opened up my heart
You tore it all apart
And then you walked away
Just when I’m good to go
You’re back to let me know
That I’m the one to blame
Why you always taking me down

You tell our friends to no end I’m a lost cause
How you can’t stand I’m not the man you thought I was
I never gave you what you say was ever good love
How you feel so betrayed 
All this time 
Was I so blind to think you’d ever change

Why You Always Taking Me Down

Uplift in the Rain carries the spirit of resilience—an R&B slow-burn that turns sorrow into a quiet anthem of endurance. The track opens with a husky, low vocal that feels weary but alive, like the sound of someone singing through the weight of memory. As the song unfolds, the delivery grows brighter, not in spectacle but in conviction, as though each note steps closer to freedom. The production is warm and analog, with a subtle groove that mirrors the rhythm of rain against glass: steady, reflective, grounding. It’s a song about finding light without waiting for the storm to end, about learning that strength isn’t the absence of pain but the ability to carry it forward. Uplift in the Rain feels at once melancholic and hopeful, a soul-blues confession that blooms into quiet strength.
