Just Say You Did It

Garage punk psych rock 
   
DECEPTION.

The battle rages on
And we must choose a side
Only hot or cold
Left in the divide

The fence is rotting
Upon which we sit
Soon it won’t hold
We’ll fall as it splits

We'll fall

Hearts will be broken
And turn on their own
Until they freeze solid
And then turn to stone

Or will grow warmer
Remember our youth
Grow stronger with time
Grow stronger in Truth

The choice will be made
Inside every heart
On the day of the Lord
All will be sorted out

Sitting on the fence,
is no defense
The truth will reveal
the deception

Sort it out

Deception.   Cosmic Keanu (vocals, lyrics & artwork)

Close your eyes and step into a smoky, late-night club. Gigi of OMGG  delivers a hauntingly intimate rendition of Earth Angel with just a piano accompaniment. Picture yourself at a small table, drink in hand, as the spotlight illuminates her soulful performance, each note wrapping around you like a personal serenade. It's raw, emotional, and utterly captivating—music for the heart, sung straight to yours. 🌙🎙️🥂

Earth Angel (Cover)-piano&vocal only version

French Fries

I’m standing on the seafront
Holding a cold metal rail
The sea is performing an acrobatic stunt
And rusting my chain mail

I could wipe my eyes
But I’m in disguise
Looking out for spies

The seagulls shine in lung darkness
Above me and below me
They’re pulling something dead apart down on the stones
That’s been dead for a while already

I don’t want no surprise
Just harmonise with
My unshared french fries

You can get a little closer to you
When you’re by yourself
You can get a little closer
If you stood in a book and looked out

I’m running flat out through the arcade
Throwing coins up into the lights
The traveller king spins around
"Kiss-me-quickly" hat on
But he doesn’t see my surprise

Now don’t act all wise
Like you know the franchise
You don’t like the cries
From the rooms where blood dries
You don’t like the cries
From the rooms where blood dries

Things that you said were taken for granted
But I realised they never were
All the bad things happen miles away
So what were you doing ‘round here
Things that you said were taken for granted
But I realised they never were
All the bad things happen miles away
So what were you doing ‘round here,
Today?

you can't know what you want if you don't know what you have
to find someone to trust you must first trust yourself
if you are your own person.don't run with the crowd
then don't let talking heads put words into your mouth

you fear things that aren't real
hate people you don't know
you're surrounded by bounty but you're hungry all the time
you can't see the beauty
cause your dark soul's made you blind
turn off the internet and use your own mind

you can't know what you want....

if your priest or your iman is telling you to kill
is he talking as a man or expressing God's will
do you really think if you think this all through
that God wants you to kill someone that you never knew

you can't know what you want...

so look all around you
use your own eyes and ears
you have the strength within you
do do right without fear

trust yourself 2

Fading away
Our town
It’s just fading away
Our town

Running from this April day
Brush in tow to paint the gray
Going dark with nothing to say, hmm
On the flat side of the night
I see darkness you see light
This homegirl is taking flight

Fading away
Our town
It’s just fading away
Our town

Your old plaid suitcase in hand
No destination no plan
It’s not hard to understand, hmm
Can’t give in fall hard and grieve
I’ll rollup my denim sleeves
Give you the miles that you need

Fading away
Our town
It’s just fading away
Our town

Homegirl fading away
Our town
It’s just fading away
Our town

Fading away
Our town
It’s just fading away
Our town

Homegirl fading away
Our town
It’s just fading away

Intervention Steals Your Soul - Gothic Funk & AudioBake

Hop, Skip, Jump

When pirates came to party Oh what a sight 
The stars above lit up the night 
Swords in the air A toast to the crew 
The treasure was laughter The gold was the brew

When pirates came to party

Lyrics to follow

One note... A buddy just said to me man we are just vessels for songs and if the song wants life it picks one of us. I had never given it too much thought, but this song feels that way at the moment 

I might finally find a straight jacket with this rabbit hole... Music has consciousness Hmmmm... Or better imagined... Could it actually have some pre existing universal intent of some kind which we merely channel...

Plenty of my songs seem alien to me right after I make them as if they came from somewhere else. I know that sounds crazy but I do note the feeling when it's there and move on

May Apples Read You

Our debut album 'Look Both Ways' is full  of funk pop bangers ready for the dancefloor - and some slower more experimental tracks, alongside a load of feelgood disco hits.

Listen from beginning to end to come on a journey with us and hear our story. Bathe in some Perspective joy. 

Peace, Love & Disco x

Composer/Guitarist/Producer

Songs: We find them unpainted in our hands, throw them up into the air of our imagination, turning them in the colours we see after we close our eyes until they feel just right, and sometimes we catch them perfectly, without blemishing them...

My music is on most platforms for your ease.

Wow!!  417K+ plays and 4,000+ valued followers and friends on SC alone, that provide lots of wonderfully helpful comments that fuel the next track!
