lyrics: 

Im in the limelight 
some might be jealous of me,
My mind is really busy right now
As you all can see 
Millions of judgements all at once
Is tough to observe

But Theres a thing i used to do, back in the day, it goes like this

 it's called the...


Is this a dream?, there's stress on my head
Feel like a potato, left out on a bed.
I could wear the spotlight like my favourite suit, Could  be some trendy fashion just for you
Take the phobia's pressure with a whole new texture. I'm fine with that passion that's my pure perfection


I'm nervous, But excited
Can't help it, I wanna hide it
Have to embrace it, texturize it 
Work on it, Express it.

I'm nervous,But excited 
Can't help it, I cannot hide it
Have to express it, jump on it
Suppress it, surpass it


I'm Nervous but Excited

Buffalo Run

Over Me

It all began with a chord progression on piano and a bass line, then Izzy ran with it. He sure made it awesome.

Blues #4

I want to live in a world unknown,
under a great big dome,
where life runs away
- that's where I will stay.

To think how easy my life would be,
under the deep blue sea;
and the ocean can hide
all I feel inside.

I remember a single spark,
long ago, but now everything is dark.

She said that I wanna live alone,
under a great big dome,
where life runs away
- that's where I will stay.

She said she don't wanna live with me,
under a great big tree;
under leaves I hide
all I feel inside.

Love is a simple ride,
when you're alone it is simplified..

So now I live my life alone,
under a great big dome,
and she's not around;
I'm no longer bound.

Love is a simple ride,
when you're alone it is simplified.
Under the dome that's where I died.


Great Big Dome

New and improved, straight to the point, because people have short attention spans. This radio edit of Freenihilio punches you square in the face from the first whiplash chords then takes you on an a brief contemplative exploration of existential nihilism before burning it all down in a fiery explosion around 2:30-ish.  Why? Because the world keeps spinning around totally indifferent to our individual existences. So you might as well just smile, cuz it really doesn't matter at all. Enjoy.

we laugh 
 cry
 live
 die
and the world keeps right on spinning around

and all those things you have to do
and all those changes you go through
and all those things you thought were true
they really don't matter after all

your lips 
your eyes
your breath
your sighs
and the world keeps right on turning around

and all those things i said to you
all those things you said to me
all these words are left unsaid
they really don't matter after all

and if it all burns down to the ground
the world keeps on spinning around
the world keeps on spinning around
and all those things you said to me
all these words are left unsaid
still won't matter when we're dead

we're lost
we're found
if it all burns down to the ground
the world will keep right on spinning around

and all that shit that fucks your day
and all that shit those bastards say
and we'll all be dead soon anyway
so you might as well just smile
it doesn't really matter at all.

Freenihilio

The shortest lyrics I know that tell a whole story is from the Cuban band leader and composer Cachao and consist of three words: the question "Why?" followed by the answer "Why not!" Because of the infectious swing (why dance? - Why not!) it is pretty brilliant in a simple way. 

The same goes for Mabelé, a song in Lingala from Congolese singer Kevin Mfinka. Those simple (through the whole song repeated) four lines express humbleness, acceptance and gratitude. I think it's a gem and that's why i love to play it.

[Translation]
Earth is my body 
My body is the earth 
One day I'm going under the earth 
You stayed to take care of my kids
