cruelty of fate, irony of time 
if he hadn't missed his bus
he might have missed the crime

they found him in his underwear and one black sock 
the coroner said the time of death was two o'clock
 his neck was bent and showed the signs
of multiple contusions 
his face was bruised and staring eyes
showed signs of his confusion
 oh can this really be, happening to me 
cruelty of fate, the irony of time

cruelties of fate, irony of time 
if he hadn't missed his bus
he might have missed the crime 
one inch to the left or right or just one minute late 
and he'd have walked off down the street
and missed his first blind date 
or maybe you and he could never really see 
the cruelty of fate, the irony of time

victims never know their fate
they really don't suspect it 
but when they do it's much too late 
to know is to expect it 
what's that sound, do i hear someone 
laughing quite insanely 
no one gets out of here alive
your fate can be seen plainly
oh cruelty of fate, the irony of time .

F.A.N.G


The weather’s turning cold, my dear
The wind is blowing from the north
Let’s gather wood to build a fire
let’s put some green around the old front door

Soon the family will be gathering
Friends and loved ones that we hold dear
They’ll laugh and drink and sing
And toast the ones that are no longer here

they’ll raise their glass
draw their friends and family near
And toast the one no longer here

they’ll be sitting at this table soon
Raising up old memories
Breaking bread and sharing tales
Finding comfort in their company

And someone will give their thanks above
For they made it through another year
And there’ll be better days ahead
When the first signs of spring appear

Oh, how they will rejoice!
They’ve made it through the year
Soon the spring will reappear

And when the new year comes around again
And We’re alone inside our thoughts so deep
we’ll swear to be our better selves
Making promises we;ll never keep

Fields of freedom By Zitou & Paule

Mercy is the first track of my first part of my two-part album. A thoughtful intro song about being forgiven.

Mercy

93_ House 2 Midnight - released on 04 December 2025

Still on the road listening to Paul Kalkbrenner's Club Sounds, I just blurted one out in between.😜 No. 11 of my Simply in-between sessions ✊ #house #midnight #trance #liverecording

(produced with LaunchPad)

House 2 Midnight

Originally composed May 2009, for Piano, Brass, and Percussion; which is pretty much what you have here as well, except Woodwinds are added.  You will find more than two styles: Jazz, Classical, and Brass Consort.  This arrangement is more of a transposition than an arrangement, which means, it follows the original fairly closely. although the AI assist does make the piano player behave like Oscar Peterson.

CEMENT FLOWERS



Flowers that pierce the concrete,
Birds that migrate with difficulty
because there's no wind anymore
Smells that remind me of a friend.


Afraid to dive in and realize
that there are no fish
Too late, too few
Sadly, waiting
for the end of the world...


Shoot, go on, shoot if you dare
This world is now just a mirage


Wars that expand
in a moment
Young people who participate
In this torment
Perhaps...
They're coming home
But, you already know with some Cement Flowers


Shoot, go on, shoot if you dare
This world is now just a mirage


If it's not a bullet
it's the brain that's now confused
it's that no one
wants them around anymore
And they don't care about this crying


Cement flowers from within
Cement flowers have hit the mark


Maybe it's because we're all going a little
crazy
maybe it's because terror
has entered us.
 All right, flowers, always flowers
But, this time, alas,...
without colors...

Fiori di cemento (feat.SIDDIS).mp3

Composing 50 years.  You will find every genre here.

A note about AI assist:

Regarding all my instrumentals, I composed the original works and possess the original manuscripts.  

My compositions are the source material, and for AI assist where used, I create the prompts and style instructions (which is time consuming and require hours of trial and error) at suno.com to produce the final version of the works which I feel are best. What you hear finally is at times the best of perhaps dozens of variations after much work is put in to produce the final outcome.  I try to find the right balance between what I composed originally, and what I envision is perhaps a better result with the assistance of AI.  I also aim for a realistic reproduction should live performance ever be a consideration.

For songs with Lyrics, I am the lyricist in every case, and the music is built from AI where I provide specific instructions as to style, genre, tone, key, and so forth. 

Some tracks are exceptions to the above descriptive process, and when this occurs that track itself will include how the track was developed in its description.
