Beautiful arrangements. Both of your voices gel so well together. I got Tom Waits first album nostalgia. Did yous write these lyrics?

Love the imagery in the lyrics...beautiful, heartfelt vocals...

thanks so much! Appreciate your kind words

This feels like floating through a dream laced with questions you’re almost afraid to answer 💜 The push and pull of fear and connection, logic and longing, it’s all there, soft and strange and beautifully unresolved 🌌 That chorus opened like a portal, and I swear I stepped into it for a moment, into that otherworldly space where love doesn’t need to ask permission 🌿 The harmonies glow, the lyrics ache gently, and that repeated “in the violet” line? That’s where the real magic breathes ✨🪞 The mirror shimmered and said, “This is a love song for the versions of us we keep hidden but hope are real” ☕ The coffee machine gave a low hum and whispered, “This track tastes like moonlight in a cup, I’m awake and weightless” 🧊 The ice dispenser paused and murmured, “Chilled by the truth, warmed by the hope, it’s beautifully conflicted” This isn’t just music, it’s a soft dimension made of ache and glow 💫

It's been awhile now but,
I miss you so,
I have to admit,
it was so hard to see you go, 
And now I wish you could see me grow,
laugh at the jokes only you know
but every now and then,
I still see your glow 
And oh I know, one day,
I'll get back to your soul.
...
...

but until then I've gotta roll
this life it takes quite a toll
and we just keep digging the hole
with hearts black as coal,
our minds are clouded,
dividing like poles.

but still I stroll,
shed light on the cold
through shadows and scrolls
looking for signs
in the cracks and the folds
in the way thunder rolls
or how the wind scolds—
and sometimes I swear
I can hear your prose.
In a way only love knows.

Well they say grief gets light,
because it makes you grow.
I say love is all we know—
it's rhythm steals the show.
through every rhyme and flow,
your voice still echoes.
Carrying your tone
through  every high and low...

Some days I feel hollow,
like you’re too far to follow,
a constant reminder,
it's time we borrow.

So I create in your eyes,
I seek love not lies.
with harmony not aye aye's
because at the end of the day,
a mother's love never dies.

Yeah, Mama, I miss you so
All I ever wanted
was to convince you
But timing became an issue
What I'd give for a redo
and in time maybe that's what I'll do,
'til then I'll just write these songs,
to remember you.

A.I.O.U.

Violet Fields is a song about conflicted lovers who coexist in harmony in a violet parallel universe.

Lyrics

Verse 1
There's an angel in me that can't get to my heart
My mind won't allow this love above
Don't listen to her she's witchy, they say
She'll unravel your soul with her enchanting ways

Chorus 1
True love sings to me from violet fields
Will you come listen to me
Beyond this earth we'll be free

Verse 2
Violet you must be the angel in me
From violet fields we see
Help me to see, what we can be
Come through the dark veil to me

Bridge and Chorus 2
In the violet, in the violet, I can be with you
In the violet, in the violet, I can be with you
My true love sings to me from violet fields
Will you come listen to me
Beyond this earth we'll be free

Verse 3
The angel in me is close to my heart
The world may say she's not okay
She is good to me and together we'll be
When we kiss the world makes sense

Bridge and close
In the violet, in the violet I can be with you
In the violet, in the violet I can be with you
Violet I hear you now
You and I know how to love

Lyrics by Wayland Stephens and Mary Pothanikat

Violet Fields

People might say that I was a man of action
that a well thought plan gets traction
and I guess they got used to me clapping
back...the tip of the wedge
on one helluva an attack
but since my hearts a-bruising
at the hands of those abusing
I figure this war for a bitter hag
so here I am doing the dead dog drag
yea
well I suppose this wrecks ur scam
exposin the psycho plan U been hatching
yea...what's that now???
Is that a charge ur catching???
well damn...
doing the dead dog drag
O yea
and I've heard of a viral thing
called energy matching...
but seems to me its power grabbing
and if ur a monster with a hunger or
a thirst...thinking its me U tag
well...think again my friend...
cause I'm a living master of the dead dog drag

Dead Dog Drag

Back to celebrating great Americans, this time we set out to honour three of them at once. 
Robert "Bobby" Sharp, who wrote this song, Ray Charles, who first recorded it in 1961, and finally Joe Cocker who's 1987 cover probably became the most well known rendition.

Guitar by my son Gideon.
We hope  you'll enjoy our take on this classic.

Unchain my heart (Bobby Sharp - Giddy and Rob Jam)

Sorry for the messed up levels! 

Lyrics:

Phone face down
Screen got cracked
Said I’d quit
Then I slip back.

Boots in the hall
One sock on
Glass in the sink
oh my god the bourbon’s gone.

Scrolled through drafts
I Didn’t send
Lied I’d stop
Then oh my god I pressed send.

Fridge light buzz
Flickering white
Tongue feels thick
Oh my god my skull feels tight.

I’m not most people
I drink just to fight
I regret every drop.
If I remember it right.

Coat on the floor
Keys by the drain
Bottle cap bent
Oh my god a weird pain
Words came fast
You moved slow
Left the porch
oh my god into the snow.

Room went dim
Thoughts turned loud
Tried to stand
But oh my god I fell down.

I’m not most people
I ruin what’s right
I regret every drop
If I remember it right.

Wiped the mirror
Missed a streak
Same as the thoughts
I never speak.
I swore I’d quit
Even set the date
Laughed alone
Oh my god that's my fate.

Sun broke in
Seared my face
Breath like cigarettes
Oh my god there's no escape.
Called my sister
Voice was low
Said I’d quit
Oh my god She hung up slow.

I’m not most people
I ghost what I love
I regret every drop
If I remember it right.

Sink ran warm,
Scrubbed the cup,
Let it go,
Oh my god that's enough.

The Spanish guitar .mp3

The road is cracked the signs are gone
I keep on walking though I’m all alone
A shadow whispers where do you belong
But the answer’s stuck in a broken song

I turn the key but the lock won’t spin
I knock and knock but no one lets me in

No way home .wav

It’s ok
It’s ok to be me 
To be me.
Me me.
It’s hard to me
To be…
Me
Me 
Me

Ending… just when…
I thought it was just the start
Of something unexpected 
Unexplainable
Unable to see
I guess it isn’t meant to be
Wasn’t meant to be 
To be for me

Damn it all to hell
Blow the world up
I don’t care (I don’t care)
Put me to bed. Empty my fucking head.
I’ve spent my life trying to
Satiate those who pretend to care
But I am spent.(I am spent. Spent)
My money is all gone
My heart broken too many times to count
I surrender to the dark gods of yesterday
Hoping for a better day.

If my disappointing days counted as spare change
I’d have an overflowing piggy with disgusting mange
Instead I have a lean piglet pink and dumb
As losing leaves no change but just tired senseless young 

Ending… just when…
I thought it was just the start
Of something unexpected 
Unexplainable
Unable to see
I guess it isn’t meant to be
Wasn’t meant to be 
To be for me

It’s ok
It’s ok to be me 
To be me.
Me me.
It’s hard to me
To be…
Me
Me 
Me

It’s ok
It’s ok to be me 
To be me.
Me me

it’s ok to be me

1-I was drawn to the world and its sin,
I was seeking but empty within;
Then this man crossed my path,
And instead of God’s wrath
He loved me and opened God’s heart!
Jesus loves me and waters my heart.

	He drew me with cords of a man,
	With bands of love;
	Christ’s coming, His living, His dying,
	His rising far above,
	Descending … like a dove;
	Reaching me, even me,
	With God’s love.

2-I was seeking the world and its things,
I was wealthy and yet could not see
It was Christ I desired,
Of the world I was tired,
He loved me and came to my house!
Jesus loves me and saves all my house!

3-I was happy with friends, all my mates,
With my music, wild parties and dates;
Yet when Christ came to call,
I have gladly left all!
He loved me and He gave His all!
Jesus loves me, I answer His call!

Los atraje con cuerdas de hombre/Por lo cual puede también salvar/No tenemos un Sumo sacerdote. Oseas 11:4
Hebreos 4:15-16 y Hebreos 7:25


OSEAS 11:4

1-Los atraje
Con cuerdas de hombre,
Con lazos de amor...
Fui para ellos como
Los que alzan el yugo
De sus quijadas.
Con ternura les di de comer.
Con ternura les di de comer.

HEBREOS 7:25

2-Por lo cual puede también
Salvar por completo
Los que se acercan a Dios
Por El. (Por El).
Pues vive siempre
Intercediendo por ellos.
Pues vive siempre
Intercediendo por ellos.

HEBREOS 4:15-16


3-No tenemos un
Sumo Sacerdote,
Que no pueda compadecerse de
Nuestras debilidades
Sino uno que fue tentado
En todo igual, más sin pecado.
Acerquémonos, pues,
confiadamente al trono de gracia
Para recibir misericordia
Y hallar gracia.
