Alas, it wasn't me who played the guitar!. I gave it up a very, very long time ago. Besides, I can't remember how to pluck the chords... 🙄😊😁 (I used to sing it and play guitar when I was young).

In fact it is a guitar sound from the synthesizer going through a sound module. But no synthesizer guitar sound can replace the real sound of a guitar... Maybe now... With the new technology. Besides you can hear that it is a bit machine.

There are imperfections, I recorded it in one take. When I sing, I only have the feeling once, so inevitably the wrong notes and the pronunciation mistakes are in the “box” as they say.

Lyrics:

1
On a saturday night I feel a little restless, a need for something
And after a few glasses of wine, I think:
Rest can wait until another time
Don't want to be alone 
(So I call you)
Pick up the phone

Du du-dudu-dudu..
Hello?

Chorus:
Will you come and have some fun with me?
The night is young, the wine is strong
Will you come and say hello to my crazy side?
It's pretty wild!

Dudu-dudu-dudu..
Hello?

2
On a sunday night i feel anything but tired, can't sleep
And after twisting my mind, I think:
Sleep can wait until another time
Don't want to be alone
(So I call you)
Pick up the phone

Dudu-dudu-dudu..
Hello?

Chorus:
Will you come and have some fun with me?
The night is young, the wine is strong
Will you come and say hello to my crazy side?
Its pretty wild!

Dudu-dudu-dudu..
Hello?

Notes
I'm thinking of the mentalists who fascinate me in this tune as well as other things. The idea of neuroplasticity and actually wiring your brain towards a path that offers content feelings by releasing negativity just by intending it or doing the same conversely if that's your frame of mind. There lies Einstein's famous quote, "The most important decision you will make is whether you live in a hostile universe"
We decide how we feel about everything and those decisions are what let them effect our mindset either positively or negatively. I used to look at that quote as having your head in the sand on reality and that maybe thinking like that didn't factor in other people's suffering properly. But I think I get it how he meant it now. No matter what is happening that's not in your control.. You still decide what your mindset is whether it's about a war or a relationship with one other human. They can both profoundly effect you if you let them. But maybe his point is it doesn't matter what the reality is that you are processing, you still chose to manifest it in a positive or negative manner as only you can build your own mindset and only you can control whatever level of connectivity you have with that other human or that war you may be in our not... Both scenarios can suck and be a challenge but the true power is being at peace with what you do control, your own brain...

Derren Browne and Keith Barry are two great mind specialists worth a rabbit hole each.

I don't believe  what they have discovered and teach has to end with enjoying them as entertainment. We can be that if we learn our own versions of what they've found and get that positive for own own beings. It's all about mind set, not magic... It is more control over the universe of neurons we all have inside our skulls. The stuff we can and should learn to control because then we move towards the greater good with common sense

Lyrics
One can never know
Ones suffering
It might not show
You might just get a glow & a grin

Brave faces found
We know deep down
Their light flickers sound
Pain as Earth pounds and pounds and pounds and pounds and pounds ...

So give me your pain
Let me release it
Let me find some peace for it
Give me your pain
Let me release it
Let me find some peace of it

Then it gets hard
Untenable
We disconnect
We end this fake mirrored show
We sleep
We wake
Hands tied
Joints and pills to take
We're trying to feel alive
May we all survive

Oh give me your pain
Let me release it
Let me find some peace for it
I'll be your devil drain
Let it out to cease your sore
Lets find peace for more

Give me your Pain

New beginning

Stuck inside my head

Built To Last (Jul. 2025)

I'LL  WAIT  FOR  YOU

Mark Kurtis Adams (1956-2022) is the greatest songwriter you've never heard of. We were friends for forty years. Since his passing, I have been combing through his massive catalog of original songs; many co-written with friends, many written solo. It would be a crime for the world to never hear the music I grew up on. Mark gave me permission/freedom to use his music in any way I choose before he died. Here is VOLUME 2 of Mark's music as I have interpreted it.

GIVING UP ON AMERICA
[Intro]
And it’s a sad day
When you can’t find a way
For making both ends meet
Yeah, it’s a sad day
Across the USA
Shattered hearts admitting defeat

[Chorus]
Giving up on America
People are giving up on America
Lookin’ to Mexico, any place but here to go
People are giving up on America

[Verse 1]
The American Dream
A Capitalist scheme
Can’t afford the cheapest rent
Now, you’re livin’ in your car
No catchin’ a fallin’ star
On Tik Tok the downtrodden vent:

[Chorus]
Giving up on America
People are giving up on America
Lookin’ to Mexico, any place but here to go
People are giving up on America

[Verse 2]
Stretchin’ your meals
Can’t find no good deals
No shirt to give off your back
So many sad faces
In so many sad places
Fallen down the cold-blooded cracks

[Music]

[Verse 3]
Tearing down D.C. tents
By order of the government
Military-police combin’ the streets
Your life has been stolen
By the so-called chosen
As they snugly sleep in silk sheets, oh

[Chorus]
Giving up on America
People are giving up on America
Lookin’ to Mexico, any place but here to go
People are giving up on America

[Verse 4]
One paycheck away
You can’t enjoy Sunday
Like dogs being kept down
You’re doin’ your best
Prayin’ to God you’re not next
‘Cuz there’s no help anywhere around, no

[Chorus]
Giving up on America
People are giving up on America
Lookin’ to Mexico, any place but here to go
People are giving up on America

[Outro]
Yeah, it’s a sad day
When you can’t find a way
For making both ends meet
Yeah, it’s a sad day
When all you can do is pray
To stay on your two feet, oh
