The Truth Alpha (Original Mix)

Maintain Balance

This song began as simple peace prayer when the war in Ukraine started. In February of 2023, i began recording the track with my friend Rick Franz in Colorado. Rick helped me lay the ground of the track and create the form, he plays bass, some of the electric guitar, and the amazing guitar solo on this track. Some months later in the reflection phase of this song, I found myself in Bali working on the track with my friend, Jim Beckwith. I wanted to revisit the original feel of the song, i felt i had lost. Jim encouraged me to play the electric guitar and helped me with the arrangement and vocals. Back in the US I began mixing the track with producer Ben Leinbach, Ben also laid down the groovy drums for this song. I could not have done this without these three friends. They each added their talent, heart and musical talent to making this track.

To Senor Bob Tudor for making time to play the soulful rhodes piano and to big thanks to Max Ribner for the amazing flugle horn on this track. I kepy having a vision (and dreams) of a trumpet on this song and Max brought it to life. Also to my friends Brenda McMorrow, Daphne Tse & Lindsey Deperi + Rick Franz + Jim Beckwith for singing the background vocals.

And to my beloved Natalie Dawn Wilson for her beautiful original artwork, that was inspired + channeled for this song and her support and encouragement over the last 4 years! Jim B for graphic design. And to Stefan Heger at Fish eye music for mastering this song.

Supreme Gratitude to all the beautiful people who have supported / donated to this project and all the music fans who support with their ears and hearts. Special thanks to Surya Heath, Jana + Lance Wilson, Charity + Ash Holland. Thank you all :)

My hope is that people will be moved by the song, dance and sing along at the top of their lungs "War is Over". Peace + Unity through Music.

I am grateful and wish you all LOVE + Peace

HIT ME HARD AND SOFT

WILDFLOWER

"What Are We Doing to the World?" by Mr.FLEN is a poignant and introspective fusion of Folk and Deep House, addressing some of the most pressing issues of our time. Inspired by the daily headlines that reveal the devastation of wildfires, melting ice caps, and plastic-filled oceans, this song is a call to action. Mr.FLEN weaves a narrative that highlights our collective responsibility towards the environment and each other.

The song opens with a stark portrayal of our world's current state, with wildfires and declining ice caps setting the scene. The pre-chorus brings to light the harsh realities of plastic pollution and deforestation, while the chorus delivers a powerful plea for awareness and change. The second verse delves into the human cost of these crises, from endless wars to rising sea levels and displaced communities.

The bridge serves as a turning point, urging listeners to take action before it's too late. With emotive lyrics and a haunting melody, Mr.FLEN captures the urgency of our environmental and social challenges. The outro leaves us with a choice – to turn the tide and make a difference.

Recorded during a time of deep reflection, this track blends the soulful elements of Folk with the rhythmic beats of Deep House, creating a sound that's both unique and stirring. "What Are We Doing to the World?" is more than a song; it's a movement towards a more conscious and compassionate world.

THIS MY KIND OF LOVING!

THIS MY KIND OF LOVING

"Love and Diversity" by Mr.FLEN is an evocative journey through the heart of human connection and acceptance. This experimental folk track, laced with a country twist, invites listeners to reflect on the power of embracing differences and finding unity in diversity. Inspired by the challenges of navigating a world where opinions and beliefs often clash, Mr.FLEN crafts a lyrical masterpiece that encourages empathy, understanding, and freedom of expression.

In the verses, Mr.FLEN tackles the importance of respecting others' choices, whether in faith, love, or culture, emphasizing that everyone's voice deserves to be heard. The pre-chorus and chorus serve as a powerful reminder to live authentically and embrace the beautiful mosaic of humanity without fear of judgment.

An instrumental break and reflective interlude provide a moment to breathe and absorb the song's message, while the bridge underscores the significance of mental health and the healing power of comedy and understanding. As the rhythm builds back up in the breakdown, Mr.FLEN's message of choosing happiness over offense shines through.

"Love and Diversity" is more than just a song—it's a call to action for a more compassionate and inclusive world. The gentle outro leaves listeners with a sense of hope and unity, urging us all to live free and embrace each other's unique ways.

Music is not just an art form for me—it's a lifeline, a form of therapy that sees me through the highs and lows of life. Each track I create is a piece of my soul, translated into sound. It's in the depths of melodies and rhythms that I find solace, pouring my emotions and experiences into each note as a way to heal and understand myself better. My music is a diary of my journey, a reflection of the inner workings of my mind and heart. When you notice an influx of new tracks, it's a signal that I'm navigating through tougher times, seeking refuge and expression through my music. This direct channel from my innermost thoughts to your ears is what makes my music raw, real, and resonant. So, as you listen, know that you're not just experiencing a song, but a chapter of my life, a moment of catharsis, and a piece of my path to healing. My hope is that it may offer you the same comfort and escape it provides me
