Nice song man! Cool singing on the word "side" And I liked the pre chorus lyric changes, great vocals and strumming!!

Nice chord progression here -- you hit some minor chord in there (I think?) that catches my ear. Another nice song

Recorded before the war... A big thank you Houman Check out Houman on #SoundCloud

Close To The Rainbow

Verse 1
I can feel the sun is shining
The day is ours to win
Catch the wave, the vibe is climbing
The good life’s rolling in

Why do we always chase storms
We’ve got blue skies to share
Why keep fighting old wars
When laughter’s everywhere

Pre-Chorus
Let’s break away

Chorus
Come paddle out where we belong
On the brighter side, on the brighter side
Worries fade and joy is sung
On the brighter side, on the brighter side

Verse 2
Every laugh becomes our story
The world is ours to share
Dancing free in all our glory
Good vibes are everywhere

Pre-Chorus
Let’s float away

Chorus
Come paddle out where we belong
On the brighter side, on the brighter side
Worries fade and joy is sung
On the brighter side, on the brighter side

Pre-Chorus
Let’s light the way

Chorus 
Come paddle out where we belong
On the brighter side, on the brighter side
Worries fade and joy is sung
On the brighter side, on the brighter side

TITLE: THE CRYSTAL MAIDEN
______________________________________________________________________
LYRICS:

(Verse 1)
The tide whispered secrets she couldn’t ignore
Her feet traced patterns on the shimmering shore
Each tear she wept
A jewel in disguise
Glinting like stars fallen from the skies

(Chorus)
Crystal maiden
Bound to the sea
Her sorrow shines for eternity
But take her heart
You’ll pay the toll
Lose what you love
Lose your soul

(Verse 2)
A crown of salt
Her hair wild with breeze
She sang to the moon
She sang to the trees
The waves carried whispers of her plight
Turning her pain into shards of light

(Pre-chorus)
Oh beware the gleam
The treasure’s hue
It gives
It takes
It sees through you

(Chorus)
Crystal maiden
Bound to the sea
Her sorrow shines for eternity
But take her heart
You’ll pay the toll
Lose what you love
Lose your soul

(Bridge)
Legends speak of those who came
Greed in their eyes
Hearts aflame
They left the shore with empty hands  
And hearts as barren as the sands

Every Tear Is Priceless

The Crystal Maiden

Dreams Can Slip Away

I took this from a very old cassete audio tape, and added some stuff. Sorry for the imperfections and small distortions I could not get rid off. The initial poem is from my late father. Amazing prophetic vision, since he wrote it in the seventies.

*** O Futuro Já Começou ***
Que olhos sinistros me espiam?
Que serei, face ao que sou,
no futuro que anunciam
que já é, já começou?
A  dita terceira vaga
ou a quinta geração
serão paraíso ou praga,
liberdade ou opressão?
Entre o brilho dos visores
e os botões dos teclados
quais serão as nossas dores
os anseios, os cuidados?
Ninguém sabe. Mas um bando
de iluminados - será? -
na sombra está preparando
esse futuro que é já.

(acrescentei estas linhas:)
E quais serão as nossas dores futuras
nossos anseios e futuros cuidados
presos nas redes de paixões remotas
de corações virtualizados
neste futuro que é já...

O Futuro Já Começou (Remix 2025)

Résultat de notre troisième collaboration à 3 : Zescott, Bribinvoile et moi-même .
Voici les paroles:
Les cœurs défaillants
 
Je me rappelle, de ce tout premier sourire 
Qui se posait sur moi,  de tes yeux malicieux lançant 
Toi-moi c’est maintenant
 Et… pour longtemps 
Je nous revois, nous enflammer déraper
 A s’égarer  bruyamment, quand l’amour rattrapait 
Chacun, de nos errements 
Mais l’amour ne survivrait pas
 L’amour ne survivrait pas
 Aux amants, bien trop las 

Un bon scénario, de beaux sentiments, 
On croit échapper aux blessures du temps, 
Mais certains matins rien qu’en se regardant, 
On voit là …la la la laaaaaa
Nos cœurs défaillants

Je me rappelle nos tout premiers visages boudés
La journée s’étirait jusqu’à ce que l’un d’entre nous
 Admette s’être trompé 
Et dise…. « j’avoue »

Je nous entends aujourd’hui, maudire cette histoire de vie,
 Prier pour que n’ se prolonge cette  tragique parodie ,
La fin, d’un long mensonge 
Ooh  l’amour n’aurait jamais suffi 
L’amour n’aurait jamais suffi
Aux amants désunis 

Un bon scénario, de beaux sentiments, 
On croit échapper aux blessures du temps, 
Mais certains matins rien qu’en se regardant, 
On voit là … là là là laaaaaaaa
Nos cœurs défaillants

La valse des sentiments 
Rêver aller de l’avant
La valse des sentiments 
Il est …..encore temps

LES CŒURS DÉFAILLANTS

Heavenly Father,

As this new day begins, I come before You with a grateful heart.

Thank You for the gift of life, for Your mercy that is new every morning, and for Your unfailing love that never ceases.

Lord Jesus, walk with me today.
Guide my thoughts, my words, and my steps.
Help me to love others as You have loved me,
to show kindness in small things,
and to reflect Your light in a world that needs hope.

Holy Spirit, fill me afresh.
Give me wisdom in decisions,
patience in trials,
and courage to do what is right, even when it’s hard.

Protect those I love,
comfort those who are hurting,
and draw near to everyone who feels alone today.

May Your will be done in my life today,
as it is in heaven.

I trust You, Lord.
This day belongs to You.

In the precious name of Jesus Christ, I pray,

Amen.

November 24, 2025 Prayer

all i ever wanted.m4a - ugliest page in the book

Just an ordinary knucklehead strumming my six-string and singing songs.  Nothing but raw and real recordings from my heart. I labor with sweat and tears to make REAL music for REAL humans, because I refuse to let AI take that away from us.
