Musique pour faire dancer les Bébés.
(Pour mes petites-filles..Mattea et Vannina) 
A piece to make babies dance.
(For my granddaughters..Mattea and Vannina)

M V Dance

Let's take a look in here, inside my head
Spider webs and dust blowing everywhere
Oh, wait! Something there moved, an original thought?
Or rats scrounging for a crumb of food

Jets passing overhead, cut across the blue sky
Then scream away

Poets dream of being read to sounds of music
Clowns dance alone in the privacy of home
Yellow tape cut down, some people gather around
Webs and dust blow on their bones

And then, what do you know, I remembered something important
Then it slipped away

Cut The Blue Sky

something I'm working on 
uncertain  times
  Much love to all Be safe G

Fragile & Falling

Original song I started writing this back in 2016. It was one of those songs that I always felt like it was missing something...and years later it really came together. Sometimes it's just about the right timing. I'm thankful of the inspiration from such a beautiful soul(Cherry) Such amazing memories! From meeting at a downtown Austin music venue, flying up to Canada, to walking across a small town bridge. Thanks for listening!:)

For the Rest of your Life

You deserve to walk on diamonds
You deserve to sleep on islands
I don't care how old I get
I'll open every door
Love you more and more
Always keep you warm
And fight through every storm

You...Have me...For the rest of your life, for the rest of your life, for the rest of your life, for the rest of your life

You deserve to fly like ravens
You deserve to touch the heavens
I don't care how old I get
I'll pull out every chair 
Compliment your hair
Always share my food
And love your every mood

You...Have me...For the rest of you life, for the rest of your life, for the rest of your life, for the rest of your life

Tonight I feel so bright
Tonight I feel so bright with you 
So bright with you 
Oh!

And you...Have me, for the rest of, for the rest of you life

You deserve to walk on diamonds
You deserve to sleep on islands
Yes you do

For the Rest of Your Life (Original song live)

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

HOMEGIRL (with Joliz)

Single swing of the hammer drive the nail
Single wag of the tongue drive the jackknife

Drag me out by my feet, hands bound
Drag the poor man down, drop in quicksand

Struggle all your life
Do what's right
Struggle all your life
To be fair
Then in the end you end up a pile of bones

Call for help but no sound, I still scream
Fires rise around pile of bones

Struggle all your life
Do what's right
Struggle all your life
To be fair
Then in the end you end up a pile of bones

Violence begets violent life
Frantic in the quiet

Violence begets violent life
Frantic in the quiet

Struggle all your life
Do what's right
Struggle all your life
To be fair
Then in the end you end up a pile of bones

Dropped In Quicksand

16 Fragments is a collection of short instrumentals from different genres—many of them were background tracks for our music survey campaign. Most of these were made years ago, left unfinished, and later given a little touch-up. Even though they’re short, each one holds a special place in my musical journey. I’m releasing them as they are because they represent an important part of my growth. Hopefully, they’ll bring some enjoyment to you, just as they did for me while making them.

Drifting away

un nouveau chill, en hommage à ces berceaux de vie, exubérants mais si fragiles, qu'il nous faut savoir protéger : les mangroves ( à écouter aux écouteurs de préférence, avec un peu de volume)
