Great depth and vision here. If it can't be seen, it can be felt here brother!

Love your vocal work! Very passionate and from the gut and the heart!

Love this percussion fade in with the distant guitars! Magic!

great vocals... like your sound, intresting mood and cool played. Nice drums!

Really great sounding song with nice production and vocals

Chorus really is top notch and sticks in your head

Inspired by Grace Jones "I've Seen That Face Before"

I play some beautiful piano accordion hooks as well hope you like them.

"The Message"

I wrote the song "Earn It Up" because I needed to shout out the truth I’ve learned about life: nothing truly valuable is ever just handed to you. I’m tired of the idea of entitlement; I wanted to create an anthem for the grind—for the people who understand that the deepest satisfaction comes not from an easy win, but from the effort and struggle it takes to get there. Whether it's respect, a major career goal, or simply peace of mind, my song celebrates the feeling of looking back and knowing you worked for, and truly deserve, every good thing you have. It's a reminder that we have to step up and earn our way forward.

Original lyrics & vocals

(Verse 1) You want the easy route, the cheat code, the hack? 
Lemme tell you now, there's no going back. 
See the real currency? 
It ain't digital, friend, 
It's the hours that you put in right up to the end.
 You gotta trade sweat for the comfort you crave, 
The cash in your pocket is the effort you save 
From nobody else. It's the grit and the grind, 
Every dollar you spend leaves a day of work behind.

(Chorus) No handouts, no silver spoons, no magic trick— I'm here to remind you, and I'll say it quick: 
The bills won't disappear with a hopeful thought, If you want the reward, then the battle must be fought.

You gotta literally work for your money, fam. 
No fantasy ledger, no elaborate scam. 
From the first light to last light, you pay the cost, 
'Cause the money you get is the time you have lost
If you didn't put the hours in, then that bank ain't real,
You gotta roll up your sleeves and show 'em how you feel.

(Verse 2) I ain't talkin' about luck,
 I ain't talkin' 'bout dreams, 
I'm talkin' spreadsheets, 
blueprints, and welding the seams. 

I'm talkin' coffee and silence when the city is sleepin', 
While the rest of the world is too busy keepin' Up with the rumors, 
the flashes, the cheap, easy lies, I'm building the empire right in front of their eyes.
You see the result and you call it "overnight flow," 
But you missed the five years of planting the seeds down low. 
You missed the budget-cuts, the pressure, the cost, 
Every lesson I learned was a battle I lost— 
And then conquered. So save all your wishes and shouts, 
This ain't complicated, it's just about putting the hours out.
Yeah, you gotta literally work for your money, fam. 
No fantasy ledger, no elaborate scam.
From the first light to last light, you pay the cost, 
'Cause the money you get is the time you have lost. If you didn't put the hours in, then that bank ain't real, 
You gotta roll up your sleeves and show 'em how you feel.

No handouts, no silver spoons, no grace, I look life straight back in the face. You get what you claim, you get what you earn, This is the only lesson that you need to learn. I built this myself, there's nobody else.

Lyrics:
I could never feel as one, I don't see my love.
I can't see myself, that makes sense to me.

That's the way it seems to be.
No reason to fight the mind that rules me.
Would it be a waste if I was free?
It's not the way I wanna be, just the way it is.
Who even cares? 
No not me
Who can see themselves?
No, no not me

Left behind in my own mind.
In the void of my blind eye.
I cannot see my own self,
And I guess that makes sense to me.

I could never feel as one, I don't see my love.
That's the way it seems to be,
No reason to fight the mind that rules me.

I can't see myself.
Who can see themselves?
No, no not me.

Left behind by my own mind.
In the void of my blind eye.
I cannot see my own self,
And I guess that makes sense to me.

In the end I want to know,
That I help others grow.
Maybe then I can see me.
As blind as my mind can be.

I Can't See Myself

As Tears Go By (Cover)

Words and Music Dave Rose
Dedicated to Harry Rose

Lyrics
Harry parked the van and stepped out of the rain
Sat in his chair and lit up a woodbine
A little tight in the chest
A little short of breath
And just like that he was gone

Where were his days in the sun
Away from all this toil and trouble

I hope he knew we loved him so much
He was a legend to us

Where were his days in the sun
away from all this toil and trouble

Harry

Soft & Wild (Cypher Edit)
moves like breath that learned to dance.

Built from my original spoken-word recording,
from the raw pulse beneath the words,
from the tones I played before the beat existed.
Nothing posed, just truth set in motion.

The city bends around the cadence.
Hip-hop edges thread through an electronic spine,
beats that stay steady even when the voice drifts,
bass carrying what the text can’t say out loud.

It’s soft.
It’s wild.
It’s the quiet fire turned kinetic.
A cypher between what I speak,
what I feel,
and what the night lets me become.

Soft & Wild (Cypher Edit)
