I hear some Bono resamblance which I love.

Cool chord prgression and vox, great work

I like this song in every way, even in its bare details.

the dual vocal is really beautifully done. like the guitar melody as well...songs are often my therapy as well..get things off my mind and out into the open

"Captain & His Crew"

STONERJAZZ (Jeff Gardiner) @user-911083679 : lyrics & vocals
Mahan Mahan : instrumental track

The captain and his crew
were weeping as they knelt
upon the steps., outside the palace foyer
Righteous warriors every single one

Reflections of the sun
children of the other
the protectors of the mother
humble in their confidence of failure
unaffected by the outcome
broken hearted with the truth
grieving for their youth

And yet their heads held high
fighting tiny battles
in anticipation of something Better

its the inner not the outer
its the quiet not the shouter
its the powder not the pistol
its the battle not the score
its the boatman on the water
and the sparkle on the river
and the distant glimmer from the shore...

Captain & His Crew ~ STONERJAZZ | Mahan💀Mahan (extended version)

Many people in the audience that night became teary-eyed hearing this song. 
The band gave it their absolute best and Stytz sang with heartbreaking intensity.

Thinkin´of the years we spent
Together...you and me
Goin´thru a constant change of ups and downs
I remember when we fell in love
A world full of colors surrounding us
We were happy all the time

It´s so hard to bear when words get in the way
So hard to bear when nothing`s left to say
So hard to say ...I´m sorry, it´s too late
I just fail to understand why
Our love´s come to an end

So afraid of losin you
I made a big mistake
But I know I have to realize
The feelings are gone
I can never change your mind
You made your own decision
Tryin´to find a way 
Leadin` back to yourself

It´s so hard to bear when words get in the way
So hard to bear when nothing´s left to say
So hard to say...I´m sorry it´s too late
I just fail to understand why
Our love´s come to an end

Our Love´s Come To An End          Stytz Syndicate

This is about really strong attraction, being unable to resist and understanding the fallout. I was sat listening to someone tell their tale and I realised, as ever, that it would make a great song! I hope you enjoy it. 
Take care

Lyrics 
The firepit 

The heat can singe, the brightness blinds
As sparks fly off, I lose track of time
Attraction’s strong, magnetic pull
Entranced by you, seduced, enthralled 

My life, your life, her life, their lives
Changed forever as each second dies  I look into your eyes 

She speaks to me, she shouts my name 
You don’t react,  so I do the same 
She’s hurt and leaves,  I watch her go
Just you and me, finally alone 

My heart, your heart, her heart, their hearts 
Affected by our words and thoughts
In this chaos we’re all caught 

(Chorus)
Under this clear and peaceful, star filled, winter sky 
The tragedy commences 
As our normality collapses 
And the firepit heats the air
As we move closer, you brush your hair 
from your eyes as you smile
And I’m lost 
Yeah I’m lost! 

All eyes on us, the whispers start
But we ignore them all, safe in the dark
We’re closer now, you take my hand
You say “it’s time”, I understand…

My path, your path, her path, their paths 
Set by our actions as the firepit glows
In the darkness we go..

(Chorus)
Under this clear and peaceful, star filled winter sky
We don’t think about the fall out 
No hesitation or doubt
the firepit’s still spitting,
As in the darkness we’re getting
Further from our old lives 

I don’t want to see the morning, 
I don’t want to see the hurt 
I don’t want to see the wreckage
Of everything I burned 
(Repeat)

The Firepit

This heavenly instrumental (open collab) made by Remnant60 was a one-take accoustic track... Was it improvisation or the whisper of an angel?, certainly it was celestial... 
  
So i wanted to greet a top-woman, with one off the best known prayers: "Ave Maria".

Lyrics

Ave Maria, gratia plena, Maria, gratia plena, Maria, gratia plena, Ave, Ave, Dominus, Dominus tecum. Benedicta tu in mulieribus, et benedictus, Et benedictus fructus ventris (tui), Ventris tui, Jesus. Ave Maria!

Sancta Maria, Mater Dei,
Ora pro nobis peccatoribus,
Ora, ora pro nobis;
Ora, ora pro nobis peccatoribus,
Nunc et in hora mortis,
In hora mortis nostrae.
In hora, hora mortis nostrae,
In hora mortis nostrae.
Ave Maria!

He gave me carte blanche, to sing on it and at the end i added subtle tones of accordeon by a guest who wants to stay anonymous
Killasoundboy did the final mastering and delivered the artcover

I can not thank him enough for everything he did!

To my dear soundcloud friends: I hope you enjoy it an send you my love

You are resilient

I see you fall          
You hit the ground x2
You spring back, back on your place
You spring back, Just like a rubber ball				 Bounce

I see you fall
You hit the wall x2
I see you fall you hurt yourself
like a rubber ball
You spring back, Just like a rubber ball


               
you are resilient

And the scars on your skin 
and the scars on your heart
and the  scars on your soul

    
show you suffered hard
show  you ache but don’t break

You are resilient

You are resilient - collab killasoundboy

Lyrics

Looking at old photographs, well I had to laugh out loud
Looking at the hair and the clothes
What were we thinking of

Oh and how the world was changing
And we were being left behind
Like being carried along inside a whale
To another place in time

We all left school for the dole apparently no one wanted coal
And on the Tyne they were no longer building ships
They had all sailed East where it was cheap

Oh and how the world was changing
And we were being left behind
Like being carried along inside a whale
To another place in time

But looking at these photographs doesn't reflect none of that
These faces that I see and that I'm looking at
They're all smiles and attitude and laughs
We've all moved on and sadly some of us are long gone......

Photographs

I had a bad week and this song is my therapy, my emotions pouring out like water and also my small piece of hope to keep pushing forward.

I hope you enjoy it. Any feedback and comments are always appreciated.

Shattered Stars and Broken Moons

Just a starting point for my new song. Please feel free to comment as your feedback is greatly appreciated.

Sunlight Ahead (Early Demo Instrumental)

“Color of the Broken” is a quiet question left unanswered. Set against soft acoustic strings and fragile harp, it traces the kind of grief that never announces itself—only lingers. It’s about wondering if they think of you in the silence, the stillness, in the echo. It’s about the heartbreak that stains you a shade of blue no one else can see… unless they’ve been broken too.

Hold on
Take what I have and follow me
Stay with me 
Follow my lead 

Its our time
We can be what we want if we want to be
Don’t waste it
Its something we need

Why is it hard to carry on?
Why do we find it hard
Righting any wrong
Why can’t we see what’s going on
And take it slowly 

In a new light  
You can look back in time and think differently
Stay with me  
I’ll help you to breathe

Move on
We can leave things behind that we don’t want to see
I’ll be with you
If you want me to be
 


Why is it hard to carry on?
Why do we find it hard
Righting any wrong
Why can’t we see what’s going on
And take it slowly

Why is it hard staying strong?
Why do we find it hard
When its easy being wrong
Why can’t we see what’s going on
And take it slowly

Just hold on
Take what I have and follow me
Stay with me 
Follow my lead

Hold On

Just messing around learning. My little collection of demos, songs, experiments and instrumentals. I hope you enjoy them. I'm a guitarist / Vocalist / Producer and enjoy learning to express my moods, emotions, dreams and thoughts as I go.
