Soothing Slow Rock Ballade, inspired by the amazing music made back in 70´and 80'. Love can hurt and this track captures exactly that

Take Me

"Boîte à musique" est une chanson qui évoque le deuil d’un amour perdu, symbolisé par une boîte à musique qui ne joue plus que des mélodies tristes depuis le départ de mon homme. Chaque note est un rappel du vide, des émotions tourmentées que je traverse, du déni à la colère, en passant par la tristesse et la douleur. À travers ces étapes du deuil, je raconte la lutte intérieure pour accepter cette perte, mais aussi la quête de guérison au milieu du tumulte émotionnel. C’est un hommage à la fragilité du cœur humain et à la lente résilience après la tempête.

WASTING TIME by NOVA J

Same street, same house, same silent war
I don’t remember what we’re fighting for
Your eyes cut through me like icy air
If we’re honest, I just don’t care

Too exhausted to scream and shout
Lost count of what you’re angry about
Is this what love’s supposed to be—
Rotting in silent misery?

(We have a life, we have a home
But it doesn’t feel like my own)
(Wish I could be somewhere else
Wish I could be with someone else)
(“But youuu…”)
Anyone but you…

OH, who CARES?
IF I FUCK AROUND
OH, who CARES?
IF I BURN IT DOWN
DOESN’T EVEN MATTER, OH
DOESN’T REALLY MATTER
AS LONG AS I’M…
WASTING TIME…
WITH YOU… OH…
OH… WITH YOU

I hate the guest room where I’m confined
I pay the bills here, don’t I?
I don’t even hate you, don’t wanna cry
I just don’t care if you live or die

What have I become? Casually cruel
A special kind of monster when it comes to you
When I’m alone, I’m scrolling my phone
Searching for a stranger’s bed, not home

(I used to be like Lego man
Everything is awesome, yes I can!)
(Wish I could be someone else
Wish I could be with someone else)
(“But youuu…”)
Anyone but you…

OH, who CARES?
IF I FUCK AROUND
OH, who CARES?
IF I BURN IT DOWN
DOESN’T EVEN MATTER, OH
DOESN’T REALLY MATTER
AS LONG AS I’M…
WASTING TIME…
WITH YOU… OH…
OH… WITH YOU

We look so perfect on Instagram
Picture-perfect happy man
Our fake smiles make me sick
But I can’t leave—I’m chicken shit

OH, who CARES?
IF I TELL A LIE
OH, who CARES?
IF I SAY GOODBYE
DOESN’T EVEN MATTER, OH
DOESN’T REALLY MATTER
AS LONG AS I’M…
WASTING TIME…
WITH YOU… OH…
OH… WITH YOU

DOESN’T EVEN MATTER, OH
DOESN’T REALLY MATTER
AS LONG AS I’M…
WASTING TIME…
WITH YOU… OH…
OH… WITH YOU

WASTING TIME

REARRANGED by Nova J

She says you’re quiet, deep, refined
But there is sadness on your mind
She calls you brilliant, says you’re wise
But there is pain behind your eyes

You found a woman who loves you still
Who holds your hand, who shares your will
But time moves fast, and things have changed
Maybe we’ve both been rearranged

(mmm-mmm-mmm)

You keep your sorrow locked inside
Behind the hurt, behind the pride
What kind of past can twist so tight?
And still feel present in your mind?

Now I speak instead of bite my tongue
Not to fight—just to be known
You wear your scars like battle wounds
But so do I, and mine still bruise

(mmm-mmm-mmm)

I was just a kid
(mmm, ohh)
You were hurting too
I was just a kid
(mmm, ohh)
I didn’t see you
But now I do

NFT  by NOVA J

Mmm, I’m running on empty again,
Heavy eyes, heavy heart in my chest.
Soul so tired, I just need some rest.

Sunlight through the window but it feels so gray,
Woke up drowning in the words you said yesterday.
Your poison in my veins but I won’t let it stay,
I’ve been carrying this weight till my back nearly breaks.
All your chaos and your noise, I’ve got nothing left to take,
So I’m closing off the hurt, letting silence have its way.

I used to set myself on fire just to keep you warm,
But those flames died out and I won’t get burned anymore.
You keep on talking but I can’t hear a thing,
I got my heart on lockdown, you don’t get to come in.

N-F-T — no fucks today,
I’m saving my soul, keep your drama away.
N-F-T — no love lost today,
You can’t steal my peace, I ain’t payin’ you no mind.
No fucks today, I’m numb to the pain,
Nothing you do is gonna make me cave.
No fucks today… no, no fucks today.

There were nights I couldn’t sleep, replaying every lie,
Gave too much of myself, left me bone-dry.
I built a wall out of all of the tears I cried,
Now your words hit my wall and they stay outside.
Every scar that you left turned to armor I wear,
Now I step through the fire and I don’t even care.

It took losing everything for me to draw the line,
Now I’m done with the battle that was never mine.
You keep on pushing but I won’t bleed again,
I got nothing to lose and nothing left to give.

N-F-T — no fucks today,
All your venom and hate, I brush it away.
N-F-T — I’m done hurting this way,
Took back my heart, now I’m keeping it safe.
No fucks today, I’m free from your chains,
You got nothing on me, watch me walk away.
No fucks today… no, no fucks today.

Under the skin, there’s a flicker of ache,
A part of me wonders how much more I can take,
I’d rather be numb than burn in your flame.
(Ooh-ooh)
I remember the hope that you stripped away,
Now the well has run dry, there’s no more to drain.
In the darkness I found I could light my own way,
I felt the fear in my veins but I let it decay.

N-F-T — no fucks today,
I’m claiming my space and I’m finding my way.
N-F-T — no more debt to pay,
You can’t make me feel guilty for walking away.
No fucks today, your shadow can’t stay,
I let it all go and I’m healing today.
No fucks today… (hey, hey) no fucks today.

No fucks today, I’m not giving in,
No fucks today… that’s the state I’m in.

We all get there in the end, This is a light hearted look at getting older. much better than the alternative.

Life's about Living

Life's about living

Will you love me still, when I'm old and grey

I just wanna be free by NOVA J and MADRE

Woke up in the woods again
Sky so still, no sign of wind
Your face in firelight fades
But I still hear what you didn’t say

Breathin’ in the golden air
Nothin’ moves, I’m barely there

I don’t wanna be happy
I just wanna be free
Don’t wanna be perfect
Just don’t wanna bleed
I don’t wanna be happy
I just wanna be free
Don’t need a reason
Just need to be me

Oh oh oh oh…
Just need to be me
Oh oh oh oh…
Just need to be free

City dreams, they blur and fade
Got no heart left to persuade
I used to wish for better days
Now I just want peace that stays

Built a shield inside my mind
To block the noise I couldn’t fight

I don’t wanna be happy
I just wanna be free
Don’t wanna be perfect
Just don’t wanna bleed
I don’t wanna be happy
I just wanna be free
Don’t need a reason
Just need to be me

Oh oh oh oh…
Just need to be me
Oh oh oh oh…
Just need to be free

River at my feet
Wind don’t speak
Sunlight fades
But I still seek

Do you feel it too?
That hunger we hide?
The one that never dies—
The one we feed inside…

Oh oh oh oh…
Just need to be free
Oh oh oh oh…
Don’t wanna bleed
Oh oh oh oh…
Just need to be me

I JUST WANNA BE FREE

Wrote This Song To Say Goodbye Girl

ARE YOU WEIRD? ME TOO by Nova J

(Ooh-bah, dah-dah)
(Ooh-bah, dee-dee)

Happy Hump Day, handsome
Feelin’ dry as a desert anthem
Wishin’ I was trippin’
But I’m sober as a dry was slippin’

Ever wonder what it’s like with a dwarf?
I think I might be… dwarf curious, of course
Pretty Little Lady, three-foot fire
Biggest beaver west of the muddy mire

Mind in the gutter, yeah, can’t deny
Got questions that make angels cry
Get my mind out the gutter
But it’s warm down here, why even try?

(Ooh-bah, dah-dah)
(Ooh-bah, dee-dee)
(Ooh-bah, dah-dah)
(Ooh-bah, dee-dee)

Wheelchair Granny rolls with pride
Army of lesbians at her side
Beautiful Bettys on a joyride
Don’t block the road, don’t even try

Trendy then, twenty years ago
Now it’s vanished like a late night show
Sometimes they hit, sometimes they flop
But I keep on writing, can’t make it stop

‘Cause Madre’s lovin’ it, I won’t quit
She’s the winter bird-feeding kinda spirit
Makes life better just bein’ around
A quiet saint on this messy ground

(Ooh-bah, dah-dah)
(Ooh-bah, dee-dee)

Mind in the gutter, thoughts run free
Pink Dino starin’ back at me
No eyes, no lies—just mystery
Am I okay? Depends on the week

Are you craving sushi?
Are you? Are you?
Fatty tuna, holy glory
Some fish look just like feet

This office visit was supposed to be routine
Now I’m strapped into a giant X-ray machine
Quiet death rays beamin’ through my teeth
Gums receding, but at least they’re clean

Producer’s rude, kill my groove
Mood’s gone south, can’t approve
You’re 32, go catch a flight
Toodle-oo, London’s callin’ tonight

(Ooh-bah, dah-dah)
(Ooh-bah, dee-dee)

I’m grouchy too, maybe feelin’ blue
But there’s sushi dreams and sky so true
Is that a dog or a tiny pony?
I swear that bird just winked at me slowly

Thank the fish for their sacrifice
Thank the birds for their paradise
Thank the cattle, thank the grain
Thank the earth for takin’ our pain

Mind in the gutter, can’t pretend
It’s a wild world, my weirdo friend
So here’s to truth and chaos too
Are you weird?
Me too. (Me too)
(Ooh-bah, dah-dah)
Me too. (Me too)
(Ooh-bah, dee-dee)
Me too. (Me too)
(Ooh-bah, dah-dah)
Me too. (Me too)
(Ooh-bah, dee-dee)
Me too. (Me too)
(Ooh-bah, dah-dah)
Me too. (Me too)
(Ooh-bah, dee-dee)
Me too. (Me too)

Are you weird? Me too!

Doom is knockin’ by Nova J

Doom is coming (doom!)
Doom is near (doom!)
Doom is whispering
In your ear (doom!)
Doom is rising (doom!)
Doom is fate (doom!)
Doom is knocking
At the gate (doom-doom)

The world right now feels dark, deranged
The ruling power is greed and rage
Hell beings and chaos goblins in control
You look in their eyes and see no soul
(Oh-ohh, ah-eh, doom-doom)

Will darkness prevail?
Or will there be light?
Will we climb this hill
Or descend into night?
(Oh-ohh, ah-eh, doom-doom)

Empires rise (rise)
Empires fall (fall)
Just ask the Romans
They conquered it all
But the fire spread (spread)
From greed they fed (fed)
Once mighty powers
Now ruins instead
(Oh-ohh, ah-eh, doom-doom)
(Oh-ohh, ah-eh, doom-doom)

Doom is coming (doom!)
Doom is near (doom!)
Doom is whispering
In your ear (doom!)
Doom is rising (doom!)
Doom is fate (doom!)
Doom is knocking
At the gate (doom-doom)

We can battle the world
But the world always wins
There’s always a price
For our shortsighted sins
All that we think is forever is not
We could be a blip the timeline forgot
(Oh-ohh, ah-eh, doom-doom)

(Oh-ohh, ah-eh, doom-doom)
(Oh-ohh, ah-eh, doom-doom)
(Ba-da-da doom… ba-da-da doom…)

So we keep on consuming, devouring at will
Indulging our impulse for pleasure and thrill
But we must remember
And never forget
There’s a price to be paid
Someday… we can’t escape
(Oh-ohh, ah-eh, doom-doom)

Empires rise
Empires fall
Greed builds the tower
Then crumbles it all
(We never learn…)
(We never learn…)
There’s a price to be paid
Someday… we’ll burn
(Oh-ohh, ah-eh, doom-doom)
(Oh-ohh, ah-eh, doom-doom)

Doom is coming (doom!)
Doom is near (doom!)
Doom is whispering
In your ear (doom!)
Doom is rising (doom!)
Doom is fate (doom!)
Doom is knocking
At the gate (doom-doom)

(Oh-ohh, ah-eh, doom-doom)
(Oh-ohh, ah-eh, doom-doom)
(Ba-da-da doom… ba-da-da doom…)

There’s a price…
To be paid…
(Oh-ohh, ah-eh, doom-doom)

Doom is coming (doom!)
Doom is near (doom!)
Doom is whispering
In your ear (doom!)
Doom is rising (doom!)
Doom is fate (doom!)
Doom is knocking
At the gate (doom-doom)

Doom is knockin’

“I Still Play” is a personal piece from me, Krissie. I used to perform with a sax in my hands and a dream in my chest.. until life took a bite out of both. Illness changed everything, but it didn’t end my journey, it just sent me down a different road.

This song is for anyone who's had their plans shattered and their voice shaken. You don’t have to quit, just pivot.
Your path may shift, but the music?
It can still be yours. 🎷🖤✨

If you’re curious what that earlier road sounded like, here’s a raw live take from the rehearsal room days, no polish, just pure breath and instinct:
👉Listen to the live take here: https://soundcloud.com/krazy-krissie/unscripted-breath-live-rehearsal-room-take

****Lyrics****

It started with a sax and a secondhand smile
Ten years deep in a dream we made worthwhile
Just friends and songs under birthday lights
No fame, just fire on those Saturday nights
I had a voice behind the sound
Helping others rise while I held the ground

But life don’t ask, it just arrives
A whisper first, then it rewrites lives
I woke up one day, and my body said no
To every rhythm I used to know
Now I create from a different place
And write through pain I can’t erase

But I still play, just in a different way
I build the world where someone else can sway
I lost the notes, but not the sound
The stories still find their way around
It’s not the path I thought I’d take
But it’s still a song I get to make

It’s still a song I get to make…

There’s grief in knowing some doors stay closed
In the weight of what your body never chose
But I won’t fold, I won’t erase
The fire that time can’t displace
I am more than what I’ve lost
I’ve paid the price, but not the cost

So if you’re out there, stuck in pause
If the world don’t clap, just take applause
From the words you write, the tracks you send
Your voice can echo without end

you’re not broken… just renamed…

There was a time I thought it ended here,
When I couldn’t lift the sax I held for years.
No more melodies, no more sound,
Just silence where my life was found.
But silence taught me something new,
That music never leaves, it just finds a different view.

I still play, through every beat I build
Every lyric traced from something I’ve felt
The stage has changed, the lights are new
But the soul of the song is still true
We bend, we burn, but we don’t break
We still make music, for our own sake

We still make music…
For our own sake…

So here’s my solo, made of light
From quiet studios and sleepless nights
No Saxophone in hand, but still I stay,
Because I still play.

I Still Play

💙 To the Men Who Hide It Well (Mens Mental Health Month)
This song is for you.
For the men who keep smiling when they’re breaking.
For the ones who’ve been told to “man up,” “stay strong,” and “deal with it.”

You don’t have to carry it alone.
You don’t have to stay silent.
You are allowed to feel, to ask for help, to let it show, and still be every bit as strong. 💪🧠

💬 “You weren’t meant to hold the world alone.”
Let this song say what you’ve been holding in.

If this resonates, you may also want to hear “I’m Not OK”, a song written for those who can’t find the words:
🎧 https://soundcloud.com/krazy-krissie/im-not-ok-ritchie-j-patterson

You are not alone.
Not now. Not ever. 💛
#MensMentalHealth #ToTheMenWhoHideItWell #ImNotOK #ItsOkayToNotBeOkay #MentalHealthAwareness #MusicForHealing

****Lyrics****

They said don’t cry, just carry on
Don’t fall apart, be tough, be strong
You learned to smile through broken days
And silence everything you’d say

But pain that’s hidden still weighs down
And no one sees it when you drown

You weren’t meant to hold the world alone
You don’t have to turn to stone
Even warriors break inside
You’re allowed to speak, you’re allowed to cry
I see the weight you never show
And I just want you to know
You're not alone

Forget what’s expected, or what you’ve been told
You don’t have to carry it, heavy and bold
You’re allowed to break, you’re allowed to fall
You’re allowed to need someone, need anyone at all

And needing help is not the same
As giving up or feeling shame

You weren’t meant to hold the world alone
You don’t have to turn to stone
Even warriors break inside
You’re allowed to speak, you’re allowed to cry
I see the weight you never show
And I just want you to know
You're not alone

It’s not weakness to reach, it’s not failure to say
I can’t do this on my own today
Let the silence end, let the mask fall down
There’s strength in asking to be found

You weren’t meant to hold the world alone
You don’t have to turn to stone
Even warriors break inside
You’re allowed to speak, you’re allowed to cry
I see the weight you never show
And I just want you to know
You're not alone

If you're hurting, please speak
You're allowed to need help
You're allowed to ask for it

I’m always ready to listen, to help, but there’s nothing special about me
I’m not the only one who would reach out a hand to someone struggling, man or woman

Because pain doesn’t care what gender you are
And neither does kindness

And if you’re not OK... that’s OK
You will be 💛
