A song dedicated to stage and film characters who died, most often tragically.

When you least expect it
The sudden news will push you like a knife
A dull, familiar pain
The old scars will open again

At night, by a small tuner
Frost has bitten my brain and hands
Cold announcer's voice
He made me known how drowning tastes...

Thin Ice, Fragile glass

Fragile Ice Thin glass
Steve McQueen, Romy S.
Johnnie L. , Elvis P.
Dead movie, Dead blues
Fragile glass, Thin Ice
Lead time.

Look, it's the plain meanness
It's not good way to say "goodbye"
You can't leave just like that
In the mid-sleep and half-dreams

Still you record is rotating
Still a screen is shinning with your image
Under the cold light of stars
How hard it is to live for those who remain...

Thin Ice, Fragile glass
Janis J., Brian Jones
Jimi H., Anna J.
Fragile Ice Thin glass
Steve McQueen, Romy S.
Johnnie L. , Elvis P.
Dead movie, Dead blues
Fragile glass, Thin Ice
Lead time.

Do You Know What I Mean

D' Ya Know What I Mean? - [revisited]

A new composition...something a bit different. My observations, thoughts and feelings about the madness of a tyrannical king.

Lyrics:

The house is burning down, it’s a hell of a sight
Flames dance like shadows, claiming the night
The mad king’s laughter echoes, a notes in the air
He throws a spark at innocence, doesn’t seem to care

All the worlds on fire, and we’re standing in the smoke
While the puppets pull the strings, making money from the choke
A crooked empire built on sorrow and despair
And we watch it all unravel with our heads in the snare

He walks with a swagger, breathing flames with his pride
A dark soul sits beside him, like a ghost in his stride
Petty grievances weigh heavy, like crowns on their heads
While the court jesters cheer on, dancing 'round the dread

And as the city crumbles, what of love and dreams
They’re lost in the ashes, or so it seems
Will we rise from the ruins, can we find what’s true
Or are we all just players in a madman’s view

So, take my hand, my friend, let’s dance through the flames
Find a spark of kindness in this dark, twisted game
We’ll draw our own path through the chaos and the sound
And rise like phoenixes when this madness comes down

The Mad King's Ark

Jenna Rink yearns to be popular. Secretly in love with her, Jenna's best friend and next-door neighbor, Matty Flamhaff, gifts her a handmade dollhouse and sprinkles the roof with "magic wishing dust."

Another Morry creation from the basement studio. He's learning the harmonica!

THEN YOU APPEAR

Inspired from a wonderful concert in Schotten, presenting La CAMERATA CHIARA, I composed today a now song, accompanied by my Nephew Peter Chorkov. (Video supported by canva.com)

"The Song I Never Knew"

Verse 1
Somewhere deep inside my mind, there’s a melody
I’ve never played it out loud, never set it free
It’s been peeking through the years, quietly and shy
Nothing big or flashy, so I just let it slide

Verse 2
Sure, I’ve written songs before, a few lines here and there
That old tune would sneak in, then vanish in thin air
It never came together, no chorus, no rhyme
Just scattered little echoes, lost in time

Chorus
But today’s the day it’s finally coming through
A melody and words that feel honest and true
Feels like an old friend, but it’s something new
I love this song I never knew
A song that’s just for me to hold on to

Verse 3
On a lazy Friday afternoon, it found its way
Picked up my guitar and let my fingers play
Words just kinda showed up, painting pictures clear
A little song I’m finally ready to hear

Chorus
Yeah, today’s the day it’s finally coming through
A melody and words that feel honest and true
Feels like an old friend, but it’s something new
I love this song I never knew
A song that’s just for me to hold on to

Bridge
Maybe you’ve got one hiding deep inside
A tune that’s waiting on the other side
Of doubt and silence, just give it some time
You might find your own rhythm, your own line

Chorus 3 (Inclusive)
And today’s the day it might come to you too
A melody and words that feel honest and true
It feels like an old friend, but it’s something new
You’ll love that song you never knew
A song that’s only meant for you

Final Chorus (Repeat original)
Yeah, today’s the day it’s finally coming through
A melody and words that feel honest and true
Feels like an old friend, but it’s something new
I love this song I never knew
A song that’s just for me to hold on to

Lost In Time

Walking home one evening, I saw a raven perched in an old tree, with the sun setting in the background............ a hint for a new song maybe ??
Recorded at the Old Shed with 'Smokey Joe'..... a little parlour guitar that survived damage by fire and explosion.......yep..my gigs are that popular !

I'm so grateful to SoundCloud and it's amazing community of musicians and listeners for helping making a dream come true. Having worked for years at song writing and guitar technique, it's great to know that folks all over the world have listened, and there's even been a few radio airplays.
Congratulations to Soundcloud for opening the floodgates to the staggering amount of new talent that is emerging .... and also for letting folks like me have a go as well !
