Baby please forget that stop button
You don't need to hit that button
don't want money, don’t need a mansion

Just hit pause before it's too late
Yeah hit pause before it's too late
Come on now doncha hesitate

I feel like I've been on fast forward
Yeah too long on fast forward
Slow it down, you know my password

Rewind me, take me back in time
Rewind me, take me back in time
Back to when you were all mine

Rewind Me

   
    Haven Of Dreams 
 
      
In the attic where we once played
Echoes of laughter slowly fade
Shadows dance on dusty old floors
Memories knocking on closed doors

Childhood dreams linger here
Whispers soft, ghosts of yesteryear
Old rocking chair creaks and sways
In this Haven Of Dreams                   
 
Photographs yellowed, corners bent and frayed
Stories they tell   of games we  played
In the twilight of moments we climb
Back to those spaces, untouched by time

Lost in the echoes, where innocence thrives
A time machine held, in this youthful archive
Through  creaking doors, the past is near
In soft candlelight, your laughter’s still clear

The mailbox tilts like it’s waving hello
The garden is wild but it still tries to grow
The paint may fade but the memories shine
That house will always be    a home of mine 

Childhood dreams linger here
Whispers soft, ghosts of yesteryear
Old rocking chair creaks and sways
In this Haven Of Dreams                   
 

 









Haven Of Dreams

My latest song, Empire, was born from the haunting Dunkirk beach scene—young soldiers lined up in silence under the blazing sun, waiting. No speeches, no music—just the weight of dread. Their stillness felt like bravery. Above, RAF pilots fought unseen, alone in the sky, risking everything for those below. The song emerged as a sound collage, built from simple chords and evolving textures that captured the quiet courage and tension I felt. It’s a sonic reflection of that liminal space—between fear and hope, action and stillness.

Intro 
V1:
relaxing in the park surrounded by roses
blue birds are singing, the leaves are swaying
I let my worries and tension slide away
enchanted by blue skies with clouds slowly dancing 

Rest

Refrain
 oh no! here come the scrolling zombies 
tangled in the tech gods’ web

V2
led by a phone like a carrot on a stick
no time to waste there’s always another app
earbuds have replaced mother nature’s call 
stepping in line tap tap tap
 
Solo

Bridge: 
Alger's Rhythm Kings lay down the beat 
for Zombies who’ve passed the point of retreat. 

V3
driven by ones, zeros and pixels
buried deep in their reels and likes
no light no life in their staring eyes
up down left right go the finger swipes

Refrain 

Outro solo

****LYRICS****

She's got eyes the most perfect
Shade of green,
Her hair as golden as the wheat fields in spring,
When she looks at me, I know she's one,
Fills my heart with joy, for sure I'm in love....im in love 

She makes the nights short 
And the days long,
She makes the dark, light,
Makes , the weak strong,
She is my everything, puts me right when I'm wrong 

She's the one,  she's the oooooone
Makes me so happy 
She's the one... 

At times she drives me mad,
Makes me want to shout and scream,
Other times she makes me feel dizzy,
A love so rare, I treasure every day,
I hope we grow old, have a lifetime of memories 

She's the one,  she's the oooooone
Makes me so happy 
She,s the one...

She's The One 💘

Our Star

With all that's going on, sometimes the heart just wants to flee to a place of innocence. Maybe we could meet there...
