Like A Movie

90's Inspired Rock made in Metro Detroit.

And now the times are changing, shifting back, leading us to Crow.
When the only fear is fear itself, uni-bomb with lethal stealth, familiar and unknown.

Then the "do or die" reaches us in short supply.
It's not outrageous. Safe to say it's quite contagious.
Chained to fear and broken time, selling us one more line.
It's not outrageous, find another way.

Change the rube that won't comply, throwing hope into the great divide.
When your soul is hard to find, Technicolor is color blind, familiar but unknown.

Then the "do or die" reaches us in short supply.
It's not outrageous. Safe to say it's quite contagious.
Chained to fear and broken time, selling us one more line.
It's not outrageous, find another way.

Fight the program, fight the program
So outrageous and contagious.

Then the "do or die" reaches us in short supply.
It's not outrageous. Safe to say it's quite contagious.
Chained to fear and broken time, selling us one more line.
It's not outrageous, find another way.

Contagious

Supper - Charlie Williams

Combstead (@markcombs-928282858) made this wonderfully whimsical and melodic track and asked me if I felt inspired to put any words to it. I said "yes, defo, if my dream fairies come through with them." And they did ... seems they couldn't wait... which was great ... except that it was at four o'clock this morning! 

Here's what came through:

WORDS:

I thought at first it was a dream, just a childhood fantasy that had grown and grown. 
But over the years, I realised .... it was real, it was my loved ones singing me home. 

When the day is dark, and the night is long...in the still, small hours I hear their song.
The road less travelled can be full of stones, but their song makes the journey seem not so long.
When I meet the devil, at the crossing, and I have to choose right, from wrong, 
I follow their attunement, and soon find, that where once I was weak, I am strong 

Now the sun is glowing red, and the shadows growing longer, their song is sounding out... even louder
Rising to a crescendo, as every sacrifice is cheered, every last injury and pain is honoured, 
Pulling me up the steep, craggy pathway of that last mountain I have to climb, 
Until I’m released from the valley of the shadow of death, ruled by Old Father Time. 

I thought at first it was a dream, just a childhood fantasy that had grown and grown. 
But over the years ...I've seen that it’s real, and that it’s my loved ones singing me home.

Our Way Home

There are still entrepreneurs in villages in Hungary who advertise their services with a car-mounted loudspeaker and buy up old pillows and bedding, or rather the animal feathers that are actually in them. This is what inspired this music.

A Tollfelvásárló Megérkezett

A Tollfelvásárló megérkezett - (The feather buyer has arrived)

This piece opens with a gentle warmth, its harmonies flowing like a serene stream under soft light. Rooted in A-flat major, it delicately balances serenity and quiet strength, with each phrase thoughtfully shaped to evoke introspection.

The tender yet purposeful melody weaves seamlessly through a subtle accompaniment, creating moments of poignant stillness and heartfelt resolution. Embracing simplicity, the composition allows the emotional depth of each note to shine, while gentle modulations trace a narrative of reflection and quiet hope.

Prelude in A-flat major

The Shoemaker's Wife

Gone is the anger.
Gone is the fight.
Gone is your passage into the light.
Gone are the left
Gone are the right.
Gone is your wiggle room.
When things get tight.

Gone is the doctor.
Gone is your hope.
Gone is the ladder. 
Here's some rope.
Gone is the daydream.
Frittered away.
Gone is the saving up.
For rainy days.

Take your war and shove it up your arse.
Take your pretence. 
It ain't all about class.
Take your pity. 
We're breaking the glass.
Break the glass.
Of class.
Class.

Gone are the holy.
Out for a drink.
Gone for a cigarette. 
Having a think.
Gone through the window.
Gone through the door.
Gone is the condemnation.
All for more.

Gone is the outrage.
Gone is the time.
Gone are the young men.
Sinking their wine.
Gone is the passion.
Blowing away.
Gone, paranoia.
Gone are the brave.
Away.

Take your war and shove it up your arse.
Take your pretence. 
It ain't all about class.
Take your pity. 
We're breaking the glass.
Break the glass.
Of class.
Class.

Gone/Glass

I was a little bit in a hurry with this track....

Vanished

Caving In (Studio Version) – Eileen Noise
A raw dark-grunge track, heavy and distorted, carrying all the weight of frustration and chaos. This is the full-band version, born to sound rough, loud, and unapologetic.

But sometimes, when the noise fades, the song reveals a different face…

[Verse]
The mirror cracks
I don’t even flinch
Shadows crawl where the light won’t pinch
My head’s a cage
No lock
No key
Who’s this ghost that’s haunting me

[Prechorus]
I scream at the silence
It just laughs back

[Chorus]
I’m caving in
I’m caving in
Walls made of whispers
I can’t win
I’m caving in
I’m caving in
The fight is gone
I can’t begin

[Verse 2]
The clock spins slow
Then stops dead cold
Minutes feel like years I’ve sold
Rain falls inside
The roof won’t hold
My soul feels rusted
My heart’s been sold

[Prechorus]
I claw at the surface
But it crumbles away
[guitar solo]

[Chorus]
I’m caving in
I’m caving in
Walls made of whispers
I can’t win
I’m caving in
I’m caving in
The fight is gone
I can’t begin

Caving in

so call me vanilla

An epic musical declaration of the majesty, power, and glory of the Lord Jesus Christ.

"King of Kings, Lord of Lords" is a 10-track cinematic worship journey designed to lead the listener into a deeper state of praise and adoration. Blending powerful orchestral arrangements, soaring rock anthems, and intimate worship ballads, each song explores a different facet of the nature and work of Jesus.

From the eternal mystery of "The Word Was God," to the triumphant sacrifice of "Golgotha's Crown" and the explosive joy of "The Stone Rolled Away," this album is a soundscape built for an audience of One.

May this music be an offering, and may all the glory be His.
