Father fears the parapet
Talking to the empty set
Suffers slowly til he loses faith
Wonders if he'll start again

Midnight Mary's made of stone
Waiting by the telephone
History is never on her side
Watching hands tick slowly by

So close your eyes
Hold the world too tight
with broken wings take flight

We go places just like home
Trodden by the rubbered soul

So lost in time
do you realise
we're just trying to be alright?

So say goodbye
raise your boat capsized 
and sail on to the night

Sister screams the old hellos
passing by not coming home...

Shirley Barr is a lovely singer, composer and songwriter that I have had the honor of collaborating with. She wrote a beautiful text and sang it to one of my songs. Here is the result. ;)

Big and warm thanks Shirley for a very nice work and for your positive and cheerful attitude and help to lift this little piece of music. ;)

Work Your Magic 2022

I'm pretty sure you heard it before
you wont listen but you cant ignore
the power cut on your side of the line
fixing it it will take up all our time
the power cut on your side of the line
fixing it it will take up all our time
work your magic
now work your magic
work your magic
now work your magic

cross your fingers sevenfold
bow down and put your own needs on hold
mounted on the back of the hardened
the worst offenders who never get pardoned
mounted on the back of the hardened
the worst offenders who never get pardoned
now work your work your magic 
work your magic work your magic
work your magic
  
this is your captain calling
with an urgent warning*
now bid farewell to the departed
we‘re going back to where we started
now bid farewell to the departed
we‘re going back to where we started
work your magic work your magic
work your magic 

I'm pretty sure you heard it before
you wont listen but you cant ignore
the power cut on your side of the line
fixing it it will take up all of your time

* first two lines of the third verse borrowed from  ”Sweet Bird Of Truth“ by The The (1986)

Work Your Magic

(로제) ROSÉ - stay a little longer

I’m a song-writer who enjoys creating music of any genre.

My son recently introduced me to A.I. and taught me how to do covers of my previously released non-A.I. music. Since I've never considered myself a performer (except playing with worship bands at church or solo-piano at a rehab center) using A.I. is right up my alley.

Since I've  exhausted using my previously released music for A.I. covers, I now compose music in a DAW, rip to a wave file, and make an A.I. cover of this wave file. I then write lyrics to the A.I. music. It takes around 100 A.I. iterations to complete the lyrics and get a style I'm happy with.  

Brief Bio: Lived more than a quarter of my life overseas (Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Turkiye, Italy, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan). Each country gave me an appreciation for different types of music plus probably why I get bored easily in sticking with one genre or another.
