Because the Spotlight itself only has 5 positions, this playlist is used as "honorable mentions" - Tracks are not exactly ranked, but higher up this list means I recommend you listen to first.

I do update this list regularly - this includes track orders.

Got a new toy, had to play with it,
but also wanted to build something of a song, because repertoire;
and I was inspired by many things I have listened to over the past weeks.

I have to come to the point of happy uplifting music yet, so you will have to do with this:


It's a song about some dark places a mind can be in... The protagonist may not be of this world, in fact. Or he never fit in...


lyrics

look for me in the shadows
look for me in the rain
cannot find in the mirror
cannot run down the drain

hold it up for a cover
give me something to taste
I need to see you tomorrow
everything else is a waste

looking out of the window
shattered worlds made out of glass
here I am set out to wander
if we only had something to last

I get it
I loved it
and wanted too much

Unrequited

An all fresh and new experimental bit, even though it's technically a new take on a pre-millenial song of mine. Here's the video that we are pretty stoked about: https://youtu.be/NODyGroE2D4

it's kind of an atmospheric piece.

lyrics:

give me love to kill the hate
give me hate to kill the lie
won't you dare to change your sides
turn the darkness into light

when it's fierce and then it comes
change will twist and turn it on
find a mind - declining heart
push and pull until it's gone

this I know is mine
the song of six to nine
we could but spill the wine
run further down the line

here, now, mine, so fine

can you hear the death bell ring?
can you feel the scorpion sting?

here, now, mine, so fine

Love Hate Lie

FUNKY ROBOTS

A very early track, in complete remake. There is an earlier remake on my profile too and a remix of that remake, but I never uploaded the original.

"redux" as in, rethunk and cut out some redundant verses.

closing track of the "Fall" EP
https://open.spotify.com/album/4UTItNTWHhAL0ASu6cm8rB

lyrics:

Manyman the missionary
his holy cross in hand
holding up his sacred book
he is fighting for his land

He passes the threshold of his thoughts
darkness conquering his mind
this confusion has only brought
a glance upon the other side

Manyman and his smiling mask
answering his divine task
could he conquer all that's ill?
Manyman's a man of will

and the missionary stumbles
and he's grabbing for a hold
all the words that once had built him
now make him choke upon his throat

Manyman projects away
cannot stand the light of day
reflects upon this failing grace
put Manyman back in his place

Manyman the world is open
Manyman it's there for you
do you know it's all you hoped for
there is nothing you can't do

Fall

over here ✨

Manyman (redux)

Fall sessions demanded to do remakes of a bunch of tracks that just ask for it.. again.

lyrics:

all the devils and the beasts now have gathered for the feast
behold the naked human meat - surely they won't eat the least
but the angel's left outside though this hell is opened wide
to her mercy long has died, escape the darkness she has tried
now she sees her dying moon - see her dancing in the gloom
through the mist and through this room
watch the angel's flower bloom

where the streets are shades, where the demon waits
the angel turns out to be strong, she embraces the angel song
and the calling from afar, see the rationale at war
feelings that were, feelings that are - bound together in a star

she is here for you to see, she is here for you to be
she holds the love that we all seek beneath the black, beneath the bleak

she is breaking through the glass - follow the footprints on the grass
float with the smoke through the sky - a-where the angel hides
and right here, up above, she's still crying out for love
she is sick of all the lies, she is sick not knowing why

and no, I can't believe - all the visions I receive
but the truth it must be real, I taught the angel to feel

here it is and here's it plain, now the angel's not the same
she knows now that she can see, I taught the angel to feel

the angel - feel

Sacrifice
All the time
Never lie
Head up high

Visions unfolding
Pathways reopen
Neural control
Break through the wall

Demonized
Inner child
Let it out
For a while

Passions rekindled
Never it dwindled
Spiraling flight
Transformative light

Bear No More

This song is about geographical change. Its sometimes our last resort as we think it will fix all of our problems. We find out all of our problems come with us as they lie within us, not external to us as we thought. I am the problem.  You are the solution? The last climatic montage at the end of the song is watching the scenery of the Midlands briskly pass by as the train moves at full speed.

Thank you for listening!

To my lovely Granddaughter and my lovely Granddog

The girl and her dog

We may meet them on the meadows or in the forests
               G                           D                          C   D
   they are playing with sticks
D                 G                 C
and everybody can see
        D                    G
that the love between these creatures is indisputable
               G                              C                G           D     D  G
the girl she is eight and the dog nearly nine
        C               D                   G              C
she is happy for all years that they have left
           Am                 G              D              G
They are playing the whole day until the sun has gone down
                G                          D                  C                   D
and later they will go to sleep
        C                   G   D   G


When the girl was born the dog was nearly one
                 G            D                         C        D
    they were sisters in love
D                   G              C
from the start of their lives
                 D                   G
the dog lay with its nose very close to the girl
              G                C               G                D      D  G
the dog watched all her moves so she doesn't get hurt
              C                       D                   G                 C
one can read in the eyes all the love she gets
             Am               G                D            G
They are playing the whole day until the sun has gone down
                G                          D                  C                   D
and later they will go to sleep
        C                   G   D   G

Lyrics:
This that acid drop - mind corrupt
Drop that purple microdot
Fear not - if the time stops -
and the clock refuse to TikTok
Full throttle — speeding - roadblock
brain cell just don’t give a fuck
Tie dye - sandals — dreadlocks
Woodstock — type — Hip-Hop
mesmerized by the kilowatt
my brain — become a hotspot
Am I human — Am I God —
preparing for — the aftershock
the aftershock — the aftershock
Hell yeah — and why not — it’s still that purple
microdot — microdot — microdot
Chorus
Think twice before you say no
Charisma — come on let’s go
The moves — without Ego
The smile — or the combo
It’s good times — and Convo
Cant avoid it - so you want some more
The allure — of an outlaw (X3)
Guitar riffs and jazz lines — like rainbows and sunshine
No limits no guidelines — I’ll start off with a peace sign
don’t even try to undermine — Or I’ll peal back your hairline —
Love it when the stars align — You know I’mer get mine
time stop — brain cells begin to pop
From the bottom to the top — a mental — hotspot
Mesmerizing sound — kicking kilowatts
From that purple microdot
God status — here we go at last — 
from the bottom to the top — break that hour glass —
So why you think your teeth are shattering — so damn fast
It a personal experience — a one man class
No sleep for those who know — the afterglow
Are Y’all ready for the show — Y’all ready for the show…..
no malice establish — and it’s hitting on the spot
A God’s made — for love — that — purple microdot
This that aftershock — that aftershock — that aftershock
From that acid drop — Mind corrupt — Mind corrupt
time stop — brain cell begin to pop
From the bottom to the top — a mental — hotspot
Mesmerizing sound — kicking kilowatts
From that purple microdot — From that purple microdot
——Chorus ——
Feeding off the sound like a starving vampire
music in my blood turns a spark into fire
The progeny of lyrics — rhythm tunes — desire
Made to Pierce your soul — like a suit of Bob-wire
Hang tight and ride this storm of — forget me Nut
Left-brain — right track — it’s called — purple microdot
And you know I’ll be back here — from — time to time
Fucking with your mind — at the drop of a dime
Underground— under the tongue— paint a mental picture
yo—you’ll never really know when the acids gonna hit ya
