Rodolfo https://soundcloud.com/rplanes first shared this beautiful piece with me 2 years ago, which has had a gradual development since I first wrote the lyrics back then. More recently Ce Mastro https://soundcloud.com/cemastro added some exciting backing vocals which transformed the chorus and then even more recently we invited Dave McKeown https://soundcloud.com/dave-mckeown to contribute some lovely sax that we believed was just what the song needed. Rodolfo's song has such a feeling of romantic innocence yet with a wonderful rhythmic flow, that I hoped the words might feel from a simpler time. We hope you all enjoy our song of innocence (and inexperience) which thankfully is a work of fiction. Thanks again to Rodolfo for sharing this magical piece and his great skills as well as Ce and Dave's unique gifts to make this one happen. 
We thank you all for taking the time to listen.

Almost Lovers (by Rodolfo Planes / Mark Bennett)

Once we were almost lovers, without a care.
We weren’t like all the others, somehow we just didn’t dare.
We never faced the fact,
What we had wasn’t real,
Didn’t have to deal,
With the truth while we were putting on an act
We’d have to pay,
And quite how that would feel.

The moment when I discovered, not wanting to share,
You with any of the others, that I just couldn’t bear.
But when my back was turned,
You made out with a guy,
I thought was my friend.
Then I knew that my world had been overturned,
Put out to dry,
And what a way to end.

It’s not the way that I’d hoped this scene would play out,
Leaving the stage in the first act. 
It was cruel but at least I was left in no doubt.
C’est la vie, as a matter of fact.

Were never really lovers, just make believe.
Like sister and brother, with only ourselves to deceive.
I should have known right then,
I’d be out on my ear 
Instead of in love.
Waiting for the finale, not knowing when,
I’d disappear,
When the push comes to shove.

It’s not the way that I’d hoped this scene would play out,
Leaving the stage in the first act. 
It was cruel but at least I was left in no doubt.
C’est la vie, as a matter of fact.

Oranssi Aura. The delightful and groovy new single release from Krissi tells a happy and optimistic story, though camouflaged in the rags of a good old 12-bar-blues, then painted with bright, sunny colours. This tune will not leave you cold. More likely you will find your foot tapping with a silly smile glued on your face.

Once again I was very fortunate that the talented Irish bard Johnny McFarlane created great lyrics for one of my pieces of music. I think these lyrics can be help and support for us to find our inner strength and magic, especially in these dark and difficult times! Thanks so much, Johnny!

Lyrics by John McFarlane  (copyright)

Don’t close your eyes and have no fear.
You must be Brave for the Magic to Appear.
Believe, be strong and you will see.
The Magic inside of you will set you free.

Don’t be chained by your fears, you must be strong.
Stay true, trust your heart for you belong.

Chorus
Stay true to your heart and you will see.
The magic inside of you will set you free.
Stay true to your heart and have no fear.
And you will see the Magic will appear.

Don’t close your heart or you might stray.
Don’t close your eyes or you’ll surely lose your way.

Chorus
Stay true to your heart and you will see.
The magic inside of you will set you free.
Stay true to your heart and have no fear.
And you will see the Magic will appear.

Stay True To Your Heart (John McFarlane & Raphael Muhr)

Inside

One death by a lover’s hand
One death by a jealous husband
One death typically will do
But one death ain’t enough for you
Wrecked and ruined, forever doomed
One death. One death.

One death suspicious circumstances
One death illegal substances
One death is ten too few
One death ain’t enough for you
Endless misery for all your cruelty
One death. One death.

And just when you think it ends
Another death and another death again and again and again and again
One death. One Death.

One death amidst a fevered dream
One death in the waters deep
One death, the debt’s come due
One death ain’t enough for you 
All the cash you’ve accrued won’t do no good, it won’t do no good.
One death.

And just when, you think it ends
Another death and another death
Here it comes here it comes again and again. Again and again.

One death nobody saw it coming
One death happened all a sudden
One death, dead through and through
One death ain’t enough for you
Last words memorized. All of it lies, all of it…

One death by a lover’s hand
One death by a jealous husband
One death typically will do.
One death ain’t enough for you.

One Death (Ain't Enough For You)

Wall Street Worries is a cinematic orchestral exploration of high-stakes capitalism, trading psychology, and the emotional undercurrent of financial warfare. Projecting emotions from haunting compositions, this suite traverses marimba-infused ambition, melancholic piano reflections, and grand orchestral climaxes. Each track is a chapter in the volatile symphony of market timing, missed signals, and the echo of every decision made too late—or too soon. From intimate piano notes to soaring brass declarations, the album embodies the mental tension behind chasing profits in a world ruled by volatility and value.

Lyrics :

Many miles around to get to over there
In such hard
Road without end
Happy for you
So Cool  So Lust  So Hot and Fresh in Cars in highway
Road without end
Happy for you
Cars and Joy
Take me to the limit inside your heart
Tell me another forces inside your head

Races for ever Girls at the finish line
Motors and roars
In prizes for you
Prizes for us
Wuaooo

Faces looking for silly cars right now
With good price
Loans without end
Happy for you
Gadget and skin in vary colors 'n' shape on us
Road without end
Looking for It
Cars and Joy
Take me to the limit inside your heart
Tell me another forces inside your head

Highways full of souls
Lost in a Loan
Deception hide in speed
In prizes for you
Prizes for us
Wuaooo

Illusions as we take for a Fast and Furious in there
cheatings throw out for you
Movies and perpetual Lies
Idols in plastic and steel
Stories of people crash inside
Slow our pace just for us
And smile to all of you
Business and money run for It fucking crooks everywhere.
Stop
Fuck...ing cars
At last
Take all your time 
By walk
or in a bus
with comic books
So Cool  So Tough  So free So adrenalized 
Cars and Crash
Take me to the limit inside your heart
Tell me another forces inside your head

Highways full of souls
Lost in a Loan
Deception hide in speed
In prizes for you
Wuaaooo

Collab with Martin Reed

This is a new year —-the outlook is fair
 Start a brand new chapter I killed it last year 
A force to be reckon with ——this much is clear 
Writing futures not histories a real pioneer 
yo ——-it’s IPG1——— I’m still off the chain 
turn up the music ——- this ——-the heat I maintain 

*******for Part 2 ***Freestyle—-not written

OK here we go ——set it off like a boss
I—-Paid the price ——-paid the cost—-there’s —no love loss
Call it what you want ——but ——call it—-pure pleasure 
——skillzzz gained——- from every bar —- every measure 
treasure the moments —the performance—the key
I deliver it right ——-Come on vibe with me 
————it’s an—-emcees delight ——when I lock it down —-
I lock it down tight——-Slamming bars ——like it’s Devine right
authorized to excite—-Sight beyond sight
and I keep it cool ———-like my name was frostbite 

Caught up in the same struggle —-on the daily 
one common interest in mind ——who’s gonna pay me 
——Let’s take some time —-to acknowledge each other
because it’s the same struggle——only change is the weather
different rule —-same game —-we’re all ——in it together
We Position ourselves ——with the things we’ve earned 
And the knowledge ——we’ve collected ——from the lessons learned

my space of existence ———is-in the mix 
Acknowledge—-the persistence ——a hip-hop fix
Real sounds—— real memories—-why resist
so profound ———in harmony ——as I transmit
different vibes —— and melodies —do exist 
But I’m the source—- and the remedy ——you must admit
——worded ——-artistry —as—-I transmit
doing —-what comes naturally——so I just spit
