Ancora una bella canzone. Complimenti 👏👏👏

A wonderful piece. The vocals are full of emotion. And best of all, the melody is great.

Es una bella canción,transmite mucho sentimiento

"Never For Me" is an anthem for everyone seeking empowerment. 
Anyone who does not agree with the terms and conditions of this matrix and wants more out of their life. Anyone who does not prescribe to the people or corporations that take you off your path of love, freedom, and liberation! Obviously, laws and rules are in place to have a level of structure and order, but there are a lot of nonsense programs running in this 3D World. You have the power to say "NO!!!" to what does not serve your highest good. You have the power to unsubscribe from low frequencies that try to keep you down!

Never For Me (2025 Remastered)

Hello everyone,
this track is very special to me for several reasons. It's the first song I've composed and written. 

I am incredibly glad that I was able to work and collab with the great Sarah Paradise-Brown for this song. Her voice is fantastic and I'm delighted and honoured that she's singing the song with me.
 
Yes, with me. I like challenges and dare to take on the microphone. This is completely new territory for me, normally I just press the keys ;-)

Have fun with ‘What we still feel’

"What We Still Feel"

I see you standing in the rain,
Your shadow whispers through the pain.
I told myself I’d let you go,
But my heart can’t seem to make it so.

Your voice still echoes in my chest,
A quiet song that won’t find rest.
We said goodbye, but not for real,
Some wounds take longer to heal.

What we still feel, we can’t deny,
It’s in the tears we try to hide.
Even apart, the love remains,
A fragile spark through all the pain.

I built these walls to keep you out,
But all they hold is fear and doubt.
I tell myself I’ve moved ahead,
But you still linger in my head.

I tried to fill the empty space,
But nothing takes your rightful place.
I thought our story reached its end,
But now I see it starts again.

What we still feel, we can’t deny,
It’s in the tears we try to hide.
Even apart, the love remains,
A fragile spark through all the pain.

If I could take back every fight...
If I could hold you through the night...
(I’d find a way to make it right.
‘Cause love like this can’t just fade out of sight.

What we still feel, we can’t deny,
It’s in the tears we try to hide.
Even apart, the love remains,
A fragile spark through all the pain.

I still love you...
I always will...
A love like ours is standing still.
What we still feel is all that’s true,
And somehow, I still...  
 ...feel you.

What We Still Feel

more existential dread about the state of the world 
I need to turn off the news
I used  this fantastic sci movie from 1957 to explain things metaphorically....
wrote it this morning very quickly..it just came together

The Incredible Shrinking Man 

I once was big as them                            
Living life on a whim                                 
Then a strange thing happened              
It could happen to you                             
Take a look at the shape I’m in                 

You placed me in a doll house
Put a lock upon the door
Your miniature man 
Now on parade
Have you ever seen my kind before?

I'm down here                                       
But they don't see me                          
Guess I'll have to take a stand                   
Getting smaller                                     
As the days they run away from me      
Your incredible shrinking man               
My body, no longer at my command         

Now there's danger everywhere 
I'm prey to everything
The cat, the spider, your prejudice 
Wish I could grow some wings

Too small for the circus now
Can't trust the human show
Gonna crawl right through the window screen
Say goodbye to all I know

I'm down here
Where they can't touch me
You'll never understand
What it's like 
To live this life of fear and fright
A little guy, in a strangers’ land
The incredible shrinking man 

Break

I'm down here
Where they can't hear me
It’s not like I had this planned
Gonna take my  tiny life
Gotta try to make it right
Build a little toy town with these tiny hands
Please remember me
Your Incredible Shrinking Man 




The Incredible Shrinking Man

I Can't Find You

It's been awhile now but,
I miss you so,
I have to admit,
it was so hard to see you go, 
And now I wish you could see me grow,
laugh at the jokes only you know
but every now and then,
I still see your glow 
And oh I know, one day,
I'll get back to your soul.
...
...

but until then I've gotta roll
this life it takes quite a toll
and we just keep digging the hole
with hearts black as coal,
our minds are clouded,
dividing like poles.

but still I stroll,
shed light on the cold
through shadows and scrolls
looking for signs
in the cracks and the folds
in the way thunder rolls
or how the wind scolds—
and sometimes I swear
I can hear your prose.
In a way only love knows.

Well they say grief gets light,
because it makes you grow.
I say love is all we know—
it's rhythm steals the show.
through every rhyme and flow,
your voice still echoes.
Carrying your tone
through  every high and low...

Some days I feel hollow,
like you’re too far to follow,
a constant reminder,
it's time we borrow.

So I create in your eyes,
I seek love not lies.
with harmony not aye aye's
because at the end of the day,
a mother's love never dies.

Yeah, Mama, I miss you so
All I ever wanted
was to convince you
But timing became an issue
What I'd give for a redo
and in time maybe that's what I'll do,
'til then I'll just write these songs,
to remember you.

A.I.O.U.

UNDERWEAR DRAWER by NOVA J

My coffee’s bitter / The taste is wrong
I’m not a quitter / Why are you gone?
I left your book / on my nightstand
No need to look / I know the end

Couldn’t say sorry to your face
So I let the silence take your place
I type a message then hit erase
I’m dying in this empty space

So I spend my money on therapy
Writing letters, honey, you’ll never see
I hide them all in my underwear drawer
The place you put your things before

Ooooh hmm / I hide your letters in my underwear drawer
Ooooh hmm / I hide your letters in my underwear drawer

Maybe you’re better / maybe you’re free
Maybe you’re never / Thinking of me
Do you ever wonder? / If I’m alright
When you lay under / Someone else tonight 

Your coat’s still hanging on my door
It doesn’t smell like you anymore
Funny how some things fade so fast
Except for the pain, that always lasts

So I spend my money on therapy
Writing letters, honey, you’ll never see
I hide them all in my underwear drawer
The place you put your things before

Ooooh hmm / I hide your letters in my underwear drawer
Ooooh hmm / I hide your letters in my underwear drawer

Sometimes I miss our old damn fights
The way we’d make up the whole damn night
Your shoes are here, collecting dust
I ask myself. Was it love? Or lust?
I tear up the pages, keep trying again
But nothing I’m writing can make amends

So I spend my money on therapy
Writing letters, honey, you’ll never see
I hide them all in my underwear drawer
The place you put your things before

Ooooh hmm / In my underwear drawer
Ooooh hmm / The one you used before
Ooooh hmm / I keep staring at the door
Ooooh hmm / I miss you more and more

UNDERWEAR DRAWER

In my dreams

“Questa canzone esplora la complessità della vita, intrecciando temi di libertà, meditazione e delusioni. Attraverso immagini poetiche, ci invita a riflettere sulla nostra esistenza come un film, dove spesso ci troviamo a recitare ruoli di tristezza e disillusione, cercando una pace interiore in un mondo che può sembrare vuoto”.

La vita

Liberare la mente in certi momenti 
Curare il corpo in meditazione
Sentirsi liberi e senza rimpianti
Essere altrove essendo presenti

Una nuvola che passa non sempre copre il sole
Per una rondine che vola non sempre è primavera

Nella vita la realtà a volte è finzione
Mi rifugio moto spesso nel caldo della sera

Le Delusioni
Ti invecchiano la vita, la vita, la vita
Ti fanno sprofondare
In un senso di inquietudine la vita, la vita, la vita

Le delusioni
Ti fanno capire che come in un film
Viviamo nella finzione come su un set
E noi siamo tristemente gli attori
Di questa vita, vita, vita 

Vorrei un contratto scritto 
Che tuteli la pace interiore
Che possa salvare quello che si è fatto
E che tuteli i sentimenti e l’amore

Perché è difficile vivere la vita
Così maledettamente triste e vuota
Perché é quasi impossibile accettare la vita 
E fare finta di niente……..

Le Delusioni
Ti invecchiano la vita, la vita, la vita
Ti fanno sprofondare
In un senso di inquietudine la vita, la vita, la vita

Le delusioni
Ti fanno capire che come in un film
Viviamo nella finzione come su un set
E noi siamo tristemente gli attori
Di questa vita, vita, vita

Vita

“Questa canzone ci invita a riflettere sulla nostra indifferenza di fronte a guerre e sofferenze. Attraverso immagini di bellezze perdute, sottolinea che "senza amore" non possiamo combattere per un cambiamento. È un appello a riscoprire la passione e a unirci per affrontare le sfide del nostro tempo.”

Senza amore

Paesaggi che ti levano il fiato
Di quelli che  riempiono il cuore
E pensi di essere proprio fortunato 
Fotogrammi da ricordare 
Ma tristemente stanno scomparendo 
E sembra che noi non ce ne accorgiamo 
La cultura e la civiltà sta svanendo 
Solo silenzio, accondiscenza tàcita

Stiamo strisciando lenti
Inesorabilmente 
Ciechi, muti e ignoranti
Incredibilmente stanchi
Bendati ma anche svogliati
Senza scusanti
Senza amore
Senza amore
Senza amore non si può combattere 
Senza amore non si può insorgere
Senza amore non si può vincere
La saggezza è la nostra pazzia
La nostra mente regalata a chi di dovere
E tutto scompare tutto va via 
Anche la passione e la voglia di amare
Abbiamo regalato la nostra gioventù e non solo 
Senza capire e senza fare
Tutti gli anni della nostra vita hanno preso il volo
E continuiamo così,                     senza niente da dire
 
Defraudati dei nostri diritti 
Ci distruggiamo tra noi simili
E continuiamo a stare zitti
Disamorati dell’umanità 
Continuiamo in questo percorso 
Senza coraggio e determinazione 
E intanto che il tempo passa noi abbiamo perso
Abbiamo perso un altra occasione

Senza amore

A silent rain falls as Merlin Mirage stands with closed eyes in the tropical light. His voice carries the longing for closeness, yet it remains unfulfilled—transformed into a melancholic echo. This song is a confession of solitude, an intimate testimony that breathes through the falling drops.
Every chord resounds like a heartbeat, every verse unveils another layer of silence. “I Was Always Alone” is not just a song—it is a state of being, an inner tremor, an unveiled mirror.
