Steve Bareham

A tribute to Gary Moore - The Prophet

"Song of Hope" is about that little light hidden in your darkest hour.

Song of Hope
Written and Performed by Ehsan Ashrafi

How I wish you were right here
That I had hope instead of this fear
wishing I was a better man
unbroken by your master plan

Saving hands will you save me?
if you had the chance
would you break me?
looking down you smile at me
I'm loosing faith will you ever set me free?

THEN YOU SING ME SONGS OF HOPE
AND I DANCE AND EVERY LINE BECOMES A RAY OF LIGHT

THEN YOU TELL ME "BOY! NEVER LOSE CONTROL"
"JUST A LITTLE MORE!"


How I wish you were right here

Helping hands will you help me?
if you had the chance

looking down you smile at me
I'm loosing faith will you ever set me free?

AND THEN YOU SING ME SONGS OF HOPE
 AND I DANCE AND EVERY LINE BECOMES A RAY OF LIGHT

فيروز بكتب اسمك ياحبيبى

A smoky, late-night confessional draped in neon and memory.
“Midnight Hunger” dives into the ache of desire, the sting of regret, and the kind of love that lingers long after it's gone. With raw lyrics and a moody, sensual atmosphere, this track captures the emotional fallout of moments we can’t forget—and maybe don’t want to. Perfect for late-night listening, heartbreak loops, or slow-burning seduction.

# Midnight Hunger

[Verse 1]
You say it's just the hour,
But I feel the weight of years
Pressing on this silence
Like whispers drenched in tears
The city's neon heartbeat
Pulls me back into the haze
Where shadows wear your perfume
And time forgets my name

[Chorus]
This midnight hunger—
It don’t ask, it just consumes
Craving every lie we whispered
In that low-lit motel room
Your touch is like a ghost now
But I still burn with the bruise
This aching hour remembers
Everything I meant to lose

[Verse 2]
The vinyl spins its sorrow,
Same song as the night before
Ashtray full of maybe
Keys still in the door
Your lipstick stains the mirror
Like a promise half-erased
And I drink to dull the echo
Of the way you said my name

[Bridge]
I was never made for mercy
You were never built to stay
We danced like sinners in the dark
Then slipped in separate ways
But this hour pulls me under
Where your memory won’t fade—
A fever I keep feeding
In the bed that we unmade

[Final Chorus]
This midnight hunger—
Keeps me calling through the static
Wishing I could lose you
But addiction turns fanatic
You haunt me like a rhythm
That no silence can undo
Still starving for your shadow
In this hour born for two


Midnight Hunger

When You Broke My Heart

🔊 Satin sheets still smell like sin– A Sin You Can Still Taste

A slow-burning ode to the kind of love that lingers long after it's gone.
"Satin sheets still smell like sin" dives deep into the space between desire and regret – where shadows kiss the skin, guilt feels like lace, and memories haunt like perfume on satin sheets.
For lovers of late-night confessions, smoky vocals, and bittersweet soul.

🎧 Written to ache. Sung to remember.

Satin sheets still smell like sin

[Verse 1]
Satin sheets still smell like sin
I trace your ghost across my skin
Swore I’d quit this kind of fire
But I still ache to burn again
You left your heat between my thighs
Now even daylight feels like lies

[Pre-Chorus]
I sip regret like morning wine
But I’d still taste you every time

[Chorus]
The aftertaste of you—
Lingers sweet and cruel
Like perfume on my pillow
Or a flame that never cools
No prayer can undo
What we did at half-past two
Still dripping in your shadow
No matter what I do

[Verse 2]
Ash on lips and tangled hair
My conscience waits, but I don’t care
You said my name like it was sin
Now I crave that voice again
I wear this guilt like Sunday lace
But miss the wreckage of your grace

[Bridge]
You were my sweetest damage
A thrill I’d choose again
A phantom in my bloodstream
Disguised as medicine
And every time I surface
You pull me back inside—
A spell I never asked for
But I never tried to fight

[Final Chorus]
The aftertaste of you—
Burns like something true
You branded me in silence
And I broke too soon
Still drunk on all we knew
Still shaking in your bloom
This ache won’t fade with time—
I live in the aftertaste of you

Satin sheets still smell like sin

just walk on till your tears have dried
girl walk on as your tears fall from your eyes 
Never gonna let your hurt heart
fall just simply fall apart No

just walk on till your tears have dried 
Just walk on as your tears fall from your eyes 
Never gonna let your hurt heart
fall just simply fall, fall apart 


just walk on till your tears have dried 
Just walk on as your tears fall from your eyes 
Never gonna let your hurt heart
fall just simply fall, fall apart

Berlin is not a love song.
It’s a memory you can’t hold,
a spark that burned too fast,
a night that felt more real than most days.

This track captures the wild pulse of a moment —
when someone walks into your life like a storm
and leaves before the sky clears.

You were Berlin.
Not the city. The feeling.


Berlin ist kein Lovesong.
Es ist eine Erinnerung, die man nicht festhalten kann,
ein Funke, der zu schnell verglüht,
eine Nacht, die echter war als viele Tage.

Dieser Track fängt den rohen Puls eines Moments ein –
wenn jemand wie ein Sturm ins Leben rauscht
und wieder verschwindet, bevor der Himmel aufreißt.

Du warst Berlin.
Nicht die Stadt. Das Gefühl.

Berlin

You said, “Don’t ask me where I’m from”
Lit a smoke and bit your thumb
Your laugh was sharp, your eyes were wired
A fuse that never once got tired

You moved like you were on parole
Stole my drink, then stole my soul
Said, “This night’s got teeth, don’t blink”
And vanished faster than I think

You were Berlin
Not the city, but the sin
Midnight cigarette grin
Chaos under my skin
You were Berlin
No beginning, no win
Just a storm I ran into
And hoped would never end

We broke a lock to climb a roof
Screamed the stars like it was proof
That some things shine when they’re about to fall
And some don’t need a name at all

Your boots kicked sparks, your voice cut air
You kissed like truth, but didn’t care
Said, “Nothing’s real that lasts too long”
Then vanished in a fading song

You were Berlin
Not the skyline, but the spin
A dare wrapped in a hymn
No mercy, only grin
You were Berlin
No reason, no skin
Just a heat that pulled me in
And left me high as sin

And if you vanish in the morning—
Then Berlin was real for a night

Berlin

Brandon Bing’s new single “When the Dust Settles” is a powerful reflection on life after the chaos—about finding clarity, strength, and purpose once the storms pass. Blending outlaw country grit with modern country rock, Bing’s soulful vocals and vivid storytelling paint a picture of resilience, lessons learned, and moving forward. It’s an anthem for anyone who’s weathered hard times and come out stronger, making it a must-add to country playlists everywhere.

When The Dust Settles

WHEN THE DUST SETTLES - Brandon Bing - Alt-Country - DBSM - BMI

[Verse 1]
She just said, "Hold me please," under the starry skies,
Whispers soft as moonlight, shining in her eyes.
The summer breeze was gentle, as the night turned to gold,
In the quiet of the moment, her heart began to unfold.
He stood there hesitating, lost in her gaze,
With a heart full of questions, caught in a daze.

[Chorus]
Hold me… hold me… please,
She whispered like a dream,
“Ok, ok, baby,
Let’s unravel this mystery, let it be.”
In the softness of night, we’ll dance until dawn,
A country love song, where our hearts belong.

[Verse 2]
He just said, “Maybe,” with a smile on his face,
Feeling the magic of this intimate space.
Every word that they exchanged, felt like poetry in flight,
With a rhythm in their laughter, everything felt so right.
They danced in the shadows, lost in the light,
Two souls intertwined, fueled by the night.

[Chorus]
Hold me… hold me… please,
She whispered like a dream,
“Ok, ok, baby,
Let’s unravel this mystery, let it be.”
In the softness of night, we’ll dance until dawn,
A country love song, where our hearts belong.

[Bridge]
The fireflies dancing, like dreams in the air,
With every heartbeat, this magic we share.
He took her hand gently, pulled her in close,
In that perfect moment, it was love they chose.
A promise unspoken, in the warmth of their touch,
In the depth of desire, they both felt so much.

[Verse 3]
She looked up at him, saw the love in his eyes,
“Hold me forever,” was her silent reply.
He leaned in closer, hearts both ablaze,
In this dance of affection, they were lost in a haze.
Every pulse, every sigh, like a sweet serenade,
Caught in this moment, where their fears just fade.

[Chorus]
Hold me… hold me… please,
She whispered like a dream,
“Ok, ok, baby,
Let’s unravel this mystery, let it be.”
In the softness of night, we’ll dance until dawn,
A country love song, where our hearts belong.

[Outro]
So here we are together, under the stars above,
Two hearts intertwined, wrapped up in love.
With every tender whisper, our souls find their way,
“Hold me please,” she echoes, “forever and a day.”
Together they’ll cherish this magical night,
As the world fades away, feeling so right.

Hold Me Please

In the Still of the Night

If you're a fan of 1960s surf songs and movies, this song will bring back memories. It's Frankie and Annette material that will get your feet moving forward and your mind moving back in time...not always a bad thing.

Les Moulins de mon Coeur (Windmills of your mind)

MUSIC MADE IN CANADA: Music has been a large part of my life since my teen years when I started playing guitar. Used to play popular pop and country songs in bars, songs written by other artists but for past couple decades have focused entirely on writing and producing my own songs across a number of genres: pop, country, blues, and more recently dream pop and what I'm calling whiskey blues dream pop, a style that merges the two and that seems complimentary to my ear. I believe each style can sound good and give people pleasure: that's my goal in writing. Now I produce sounds featuring both male and female vocals as the lyrics dictate; variety is the spice of...well, you know. Thanks for listening.
