Just sat down and finally got a song out for the first time in over a year. Felt really good to record again. Now with Lewitt 440 Pure and 440 DM as the microphones instead of my iPhone 11/15Plus.

Simple Song

Link Our Lips

In the dim light of an ending age, a scholar reflects on the decline of magic and wonder. The horizon fades to grey, and with it, the last vestiges of a world once filled with light.

"You Have a Night" is a hauntingly introspective and nostalgic track, woven with delicate, fading piano chords that echo through the silence. A weary yet youthful voice, tinged with raw, gritty tones, sings of faith and memories of days gone by. The song is a poignant reminder to live as if this night were your last, to embrace life with the intensity that others never did. It's a melancholic ode to the fleeting nature of existence, urging listeners to find meaning and purpose in the present moment.

Guitar arrangement: Pedro Reis

You have a night (Alternative Version)

Until Your Heart Believes       Lyrics and music by Mike Dampf © August, 2024         Flute - Becky Sora; Bass - David Leadbitter; Vocals Jerneja Medved and Mike Dampf

I can see you hurt
I can read the signs
You smile through loneliness
like winter sun through the pines
this kind of wound is slow to heal
and I know how it feels

One light is on long before the dawn
a half moon rises and then it's gone
soft wind rustles the willow leaves
dreamless, until your heart believes

I see you nearly every day
your eyes say it all
it's just 'Hello' and then you look away
like you hit some kind of wall
Sure, you're fine, nothing's been revealed
but I know how it feels

Look at me
look at you
we shouldn't be alone anymore

Until Your Heart Believes

Darkness surrounds us 
When all the lights have passed away
Silence surrounds us 
When all the screams and whispers have died
Good men are gone
Innocent have cried

If you had the courage
Would you dare to speak your name?
And if you had the power
Would you dare to fight for good?
Light could find a way
Warmth erase the pain

Oohh oohhh
Together we can make it better
Ooohh ooohh
All together and once and for all

Speak your mind and you might find
You're not alone in this world
Grab my hand in the winter
Together we can overcome
Chase the shadows away
Let the night turn to day

Oohh oohhh
Together we can make it better
Ooohh ooohh
All together and once and for all

The crowd fought for justice
With sweat, blood and tears
Did you hear their battle cry?
Fighting evil tooth and nail?
Gathering for what is right
Never forget their names

Did you see the trees rise
Over dust and burning ash
And did you hear the birds sing
Their everlasting song?
A glimmer of hope awaits
Can we ever change?

Oohh oohhh
Together we can make it better
Ooohh ooohh
All together and once and for all

All Together - Acoustic Demo

Someone I'm Not

"Bright lies"  could be  song of loss, fracture or pain. It unravels a narrative of destruction, revealing the harm lies inflict, and the lasting wounds and scars they leave in their wake.
