Inspired by the timeless 80s classic Live to Tell, this track reimagines that evocative atmosphere with a modern edge. Driving the sound forward is the electric guitar of Shred Krueger, whose expressive riffs add both intensity and emotion. The result is a powerful blend of nostalgia and innovation, crafted to resonate with listeners across generations.

My Donna

A sonic journey through neon lights and forgotten ruins: this chill synthwave track takes inspiration from Lara Croft and the retro soundtrack of Tomb Raider 3, blending mystery and nostalgia into a dreamlike soundscape. Lush synths set the stage for exploration and adventure, while Shred Krueger’s electric guitar adds cinematic tension with powerful riffs and soaring solos. Intertwined with it, Federico Amaro’s saxophone brings warmth and melancholy, wrapping the listener in an intimate, atmospheric embrace. The result is a fusion of epic game-inspired energy and timeless synthwave elegance—an odyssey of both discovery and introspection.

Lara's Lips

H.A.P.P.Y

A song about what happens after the butterflies fade. The first love is quick — the spark, the laughter, the way they say your name. Then time shifts, the masks fall, and you see the scars beneath. But if you stay, if you keep reaching for their hand through the quiet and the hard nights, that’s when the second love begins — the one that holds for life.

Verse 1
If you truly love someone, you love them twice,
First time is quick, your heart takes flight.
It’s the butterflies, spark in their eyes,
The smile that lingers, laughter that shines.

Verse 2
Time has a way of changing the view,
Mask drifts aside, and the truth comes through.
Quiet grows heavy, nights stretch wide,
Something keeps drawing your hand to my side.

Chorus
I loved you once, when the world felt new,
I love you again when the hard times grew.
Twice I have fallen, for warmth of your soul,
First was a feeling, the second made me whole.

Verse 3
I know you so well, I can read your face,
The words on your lips, I can already trace.
We finish each sentence before it’s begun,
I know what you’re thinking, the two made one.

Bridge
It’s more than the rush, it’s more than desire,
Holding the flame as the sparks lose fire.
Not just the words that are easy to say,
It’s choosing each other at the end of the day.

Chorus (repeat)
I loved you once, when the world felt new,
I love you again when the hard times grew.
Twice I have fallen, for warmth of your soul,
First was a feeling, the second made me whole.

Pre Chorus
I love you twice…
The second love’s the one that holds for life.

Chorus 
I loved you once, when the world felt new,
I love you again when the hard times grew.
Twice I have fallen, for warmth of your soul,
First was a feeling, the second made me whole.

I Love You Twice ... Ft Will Eason

Ever walked into a supermarket with a simple plan…
…and walked out with 14 things you didn’t need, zero things you did, and an existential crisis you definitely didn’t schedule?

“Shopping List” is my musical-comedy tribute to the chaos of Aisle Seven — featuring philosophical cheese, Socratic oranges, questionable handwriting from Future Me, and a self-checkout machine that clearly did not appreciate my vibe.

SUNO heard “shopping list” and turned it into a full Broadway meltdown, complete with dramatic tension between me and the bananas.
Honestly? Fair.

If you’ve ever wondered where your sanity went somewhere between the frozen peas and the chocolate section… this one’s for you.

LYRICS

Verse 1
Woke up with a mission and a trolley full of dreams,
Had a crumpled little note with impossible schemes.
“Eggs, milk, bread… and a mystical flute?”
Why did Future Me think that was prudent to include?

Pre-Chorus
I’m walkin’ aisle seven like a man on a quest,
Trying not to cave in to the snack aisle’s test.

Chorus
It’s my shopping list,
Slightly cursed, slightly pissed.
Why’s there “llama balm” underlined… twice?
Who wrote “seduce the rice”?
It’s my shopping list,
Pure domestic plot twist.
If I follow this thing line by line…
I might survive, but barely in time.

Verse 2
“Frozen peas, garden hose, philosophical cheese,”
Why did I write “ask the oranges about Socrates”?
Someone bumped me with a trolley, said “Mate, you okay?”
I said, “I’m debating citrus, please don’t get in the way.”

Pre-Chorus
I’m dodging toddlers in capes, pensioners going rogue,
There’s a man yelling loudly at a gluten-free loaf.

Chorus
It’s my shopping list,
Probably possessed by a poltergeist.
Who adds “left sock” in aisle nine?
Is that even mine?
It’s my shopping list,
Chaos in biro script.
If I squint at the handwriting right,
It might say “Buy wine.”
(Oh… definitely says “Buy wine.”)

Bridge
Scan-and-go beeps like a heart monitor,
Self-checkout says “Unexpected item!”— I mutter,
“That’s my dignity, mate, leave it alone!”
It’s not my fault the bananas tried to unionise again.

Final Chorus
It’s my shopping list,
A domestic plot twist.
I just wanted milk and maybe bread—
Not an existential crisis in aisle ten.
It’s my shopping list,
Chaos at its finest.
Guess I’ll rewrite it when I’m home,
If the fridge light leaves me alone.

Outro
Next time I shop, I’ll keep it neat—
Step one: breathe.
Step two: delete
The whole damn list and just wing it—
…now where’s the chocolate?
(Oh, there it is. On special.)

An Invitation

I don’t write to lead a chorus. I write to leave a light.
These songs are only footnotes — echoes reminding us that struggle and hope never vanish, they only wait for new voices to rise.

Everyone has a voice. Yours is no lesser, no greater than another. Each carries its own truth, and each truth belongs in the song.

Whatever your path — through faith or doubt, joy or grief, belonging or difference — your story matters. Your words can name the weight you carry, or sketch the world you still believe is possible.

So write. Whisper or roar, it makes no difference. A single verse, honest and clear, can carry further than you expect.

Together, these voices weave the chorus. Not owned by one, not silenced by power, but held in common. If my words spark even one more verse, then the song is larger than me — and the story continues.

1. The Core Philosophy: "Serve First, Lead Second"
The central tenet of servant leadership, as coined by Robert K. Greenleaf, is that a leader's primary motivation is a genuine desire to serve others. This is a direct contrast to traditional leadership models where the leader's goal is to amass power, control, or personal gain.


Humility in Action: A humble person naturally puts the needs of others before their own. For a servant leader, this isn't just a tactic; it's an internal compass. They don't see themselves as being "above" the people they lead. Instead, they see their role as a steward of the organization, responsible for helping others thrive.


2. The Inverted Hierarchy
Traditional leadership operates on a pyramid structure, with the leader at the top and everyone else below. Servant leadership inverts this pyramid. The leader is at the bottom, supporting the team and lifting them up.


Humility in Action: This visual metaphor perfectly represents humility. A humble leader doesn't need to be on top to feel powerful. Their influence comes from empowering others. They are secure enough in their own abilities that they don't feel threatened by the success or growth of their team members. In fact, they celebrate it.

3. The Shift from Positional Authority to Moral Authority
A traditional leader commands through their title or position. A servant leader, on the other hand, leads through persuasion, trust, and the respect they earn from their team.

Humility in Action: Instead of saying, "Do this because I'm the boss," a servant leader says, "This is what we need to accomplish. How can I help you do your best work?" They listen more than they speak, and they value the team's ideas and input more than their own. This requires a profound level of humility—the recognition that the best ideas can come from anywhere, not just from the person at the top.

4. Key Traits of a Servant Leader that are Rooted in Humility


Many of the most commonly cited characteristics of servant leaders are direct expressions of humility:

Listening: A humble leader knows they don't have all the answers and is genuinely interested in hearing the perspectives of others.

Empathy: The ability to understand and share the feelings of another person is an act of putting yourself aside to connect with someone else's experience.

Stewardship: This is the mindset that you are entrusted with the well-being of the organization and its people, rather than owning them.

Commitment to the Growth of People: Humble leaders see the intrinsic value in every individual and are invested in their personal and professional development, even if it means they eventually surpass the leader.

In essence, humility is the internal attitude that makes servant leadership possible. Without humility, a leader who tries to "serve" might just be using it as a manipulative tactic to gain control or popularity. True servant leadership comes from an authentic, humble desire to put the needs of others first. It is, as the saying goes, "thinking of yourself less, not thinking less of yourself."
