“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:

****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

Angels are often close to us, helping and protecting us. The main thing is to learn to notice the protection they give with their wings.

My Second Collaboration with JJ SAMUEL
Instrumental/Production : EG
Lyrics : JJS

JJ Samuel & EG ‘COME A LITTLE CLOSER’

Paroles de la chanson inspirée d'un poème de
Poète : René-François Sully Prudhomme (1839-1907)
Recueil : Les vaines tendresses (1875).
Le présent se fait vide et triste,
Ô mon amie, autour de nous ;
Combien peu de passé subsiste !
Et ceux qui restent changent tous.

[Verse]
The present becomes empty and heavy
Each breath a detour
Around us
The silence runs

[Chorus]
Oh my friend
What remains
When time erases our encounters
I love you
I love you
Motionless

[Verse 2]
How little of the past remains
Shadows dance
Sad
Under the light that persists

[Prechorus]
Eyes that saw us grow
Laughter
A smile

[Chorus]
Oh my friend
What remains
When time erases our encounters
I love you
I love you
Motionless

[Bridge]
Yet something remains
A whisper in the heart
A star deep in our eyes

Traduction en  français

[Verse]
Le présent se fait vide et lourd
Chaque souffle un détour
Autour de nous
Le silence court

[Chorus]
Ô mon amie
Que reste-t-il
Quand le temps efface nos rencontres
Je t’aime
Je t’aime
Immobile

[Verse 2]
Combien peu du passé subsiste
Les ombres dansent
Tristes
Sous la lumière qui persiste

[Prechorus]
Des yeux qui nous ont vu grandir
Des rires
Un sourire

[Chorus]
Ô mon amie
Que reste-t-il
Quand le temps efface nos rencontres
Je t’aime
Je t’aime
Immobile

[Bridge]
Pourtant quelque chose demeure
Un murmure dans le cœur
Une étoile au fond de nos yeux

Ce qui reste

Hi dear friends, I have updated this song before the Alaska meeting! Unfortunatly, there was no agreement on any kind of peace! It felt repulsive to see President P sitting and smiling while innocent civilians are being murdered in Ukraine even today August 18th.

Inspiration is a rock/pop anthem about finding strength and purpose through passion and belief.

Inspiration

For Selin
A butterfly in the meadow sky
soft wings painting purple light
beside her an orange cat remains quiet
keeping watch keeping her warm
a safe place always near


Dance Until Dawn

[Verse]
The lights are dim the room feels wide
I see your shadow by my side
your eyes like stars they pull me in
A moment starts where time begins

[Chorus]
We'll dance until the world is gone
hold on until the break of dawn
with every step our hearts collide
tonight we're free no need to hide

[Verse]
The floor is ours we own the night
your laughter turns the dark to light
A thousand beats beneath our feet
A melody we can't defeat

[Chorus]
We'll dance until the world is gone
hold on until the break of dawn
with every step our hearts collide
tonight we're free no need to hide

[Bridge]
The echoes fade but we remain
our rhythm cuts through joy and pain
in every spin in every sway
we're writing songs that never fray

[Chorus]
We'll dance until the world is gone
hold on until the break of dawn
with every step our hearts collide
tonight we're free no need to hide

Dance Until Dawn

All By Myself is a playful pop-funk anthem celebrating independence and self-love. With cheeky lyrics, groovy rhythms, and a confident male vocal, it turns solitude into empowerment. The song embraces freedom, joy, and living without pressure, creating a light-hearted, catchy vibe that feels both modern and uplifting—a true self-love anthem.

The point is - you are good enough as you are.

All by myself

An attempt to imagine something of the beauty in the horror of the music teacher who teaches his classroom of children to harmonise with the drones.
