Sounds ..vocal.. really good! 🌍☮︎👍

that progression and song arrangement is killer

Gritty and relentless, this track surges forward with raw intensity. The riffs cut deep, the rhythm drives hard—no need for overthinking, just pure, electrifying momentum. Francesco Adornetto

IL FAUT TAIRE LE TEMPS

Les vérités fragiles, celles qui indisposent
Des heures indociles qui vieillissent les roses
Sous des lueurs ingrates dans ce compte à rebours
Les années qui partent aux allers sans retour.

Les folles images sans oraisons verbeuses
Nous tournent la page des idées voyageuses
Devant ces rêves fanés de pensées furtives
Le souvenir d’un passé aux humeurs positives.

Il faut taire le temps, se faisant si rapide
A moquer le présent sans le rendre stupide
Briser le miroir des ans, s’il est tant lucide.

Sous couvert d’absolu, larguer le mauvais sang
Vers des terres inconnues au milieu d’océans
S’oublier des hier sans se moquer de tout
Il reste tant à faire pour aller jusqu'au bout.

Il faut taire le temps, se faisant si rapide
A moquer le présent sans le rendre stupide
Briser le miroir des ans, s’il est tant lucide.

Il faut taire le temps, se faisant si rapide
A moquer le présent sans le rendre stupide
Briser le miroir des ans, s’il est tant lucide.

En rêvant de son mieux, vers de jolies pensées
Un sourire dans ses yeux ne peut faire qu'avancer
La vie est ainsi faite, elle va, elle vient, elle fuit
Et même quand tout s'arrête, rien n'est jamais fini.

Mais regardons l'avenir, il reste tant de choses
Beaucoup d'éclats de rire qui font les vies en rose
Profitons du bonheur en vivant ce présent
Et sans penser à l'heure qui brisera ce temps.

Il faut taire le temps, se faisant si rapide
A moquer le présent sans le rendre stupide
En vivant les instants… en vivant simplement.

IL FAUT TAIRE LE TEMPS (Chanson Française)

You Are

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

I Don't Wannabe (Your 51st State) - Dance Version

Mr. President, a moment if you please
Let me say to USA as nicely as I can
To leave it along and let us just be friends
Talkin' 'bout my country, my true North, Strong & Free
And like the song says, baby, We Stand On Guard for Thee

I don't wannabe your 51st state, no
I stand on guard for thee, that's my fate now
I don't wannabe, your 51st state, no

Friends like us gotta find a way
To make things right for the USA
Friends and family across the border
It's elbows up when we get in the corner
Where we live is happy home
Reaching for something that ain't your own
We understand you want to grow
Our advice, just leave it alone

Mr. President, a moment if you please
We used to be like brothers now you're coming after me
Mm-hmm we fought together, died together too
And I can't believe this nightmare is all because of you
So let me say to USA as nicely as I can
To leave it along and let us just be friends
Talkin' 'bout my country, my true North, Strong & Free
And like the song says, baby, We Stand On Guard for Thee

I don't wannabe your 51st state, no
I stand on guard for thee, that's my fate now
I don't wannabe your 51st state, no

C'mon, I don't wannabe
Never wannabe
I really don't wanna be
I like you very much but I don't wanna be your 51st state

I don't wannabe your 51st state, no
I stand on guard for thee, that's my fate now
I don't wannabe your 51st state, no

Hansel and Gretel were abandoned by their parents in the forest all alone.
They stumbled across a delicious looking candy-coated home.  A cannibalistic witch captured them and put them in a cage. Those were the kind of stories they used to tell children at a young age.

The brothers Grim told stories that were a reflection of their time
There was disease famine and poverty and things were not going fine 
We had to sanitize the stories because our modern stomachs are weak
And you’ll get in trouble if you read a book to kids, and it makes them shriek

Three little pigs were in a brick house trying really hard to survive 
The big bad wolf came down the chimney, fell in a pot of water and was boiled alive.
Cinderella’s stepsisters wanted to marry the prince, but they couldn’t fit into her shoes so they chopped off their heels and toes because they had so much to lose 

The brothers Grim told stories that were a reflection of their time
There was disease famine and poverty, and things were not going fine 
Little Red Riding Hood in the bedroom with a wolf dressed in human clothes.
Wondering why her grandmother had sharp teeth and a snout instead of a nose. Jack climbed the beanstalk, there was a giant who wanted to grind up his bones and make some bread. He stole the magic harp and the hen that laid golden eggs and the giant ended up dead

There’s days when you want to take a sheet of tin foil and stick it in your baseball cap
To keep all those negative thoughts from getting in your head and making you a miserable chap
Did it all start when you were a child, and your mother read you that bed time story that perhaps in retrospect may have been a bit too dark and gory

The brothers Grim told stories that were a reflection of their time
There was disease famine and poverty and things were not going fine 
Now we environmental devastation, nuclear weapons and milk that might have bird flu
Just turn on the news you don’t need a fairy tale to put the fear of God in you
But if you take away all the parts that are dark, sick twisted and gory. 
Do you have anything left that actually resembles a good story.

The Brothers Grim

Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything

In the dim glow of candlelight, Tasha’s forbidden laughter echoes through dungeon halls.
Spells warp, oaths shatter, Fey tricksters dance, and the Weave itself burns. Each track is a
spell ripped from her Cauldron, each riff a dice roll against fate. This album isn’t just music —
it’s a campaign. Every song is an encounter, a saving throw, or a boss fight. By the final dice
roll, all that remains is ash and legend.

[Intro – slow, doom riff, whispered vox]
Chains that bind, the pact is signed,
Your soul for power, fate aligned.
A patron’s gaze, a shadow’s hand,
A bargain struck in cursed land.

[Verse 1 – growls, slow and crushing]
BOUND IN CHAINS, THE DEAL IS MADE,
SOUL IS CURSED, YOUR LIGHT DECAYS.
POWER FLOWS, BUT FREEDOM DIES,
EVERY SPELL A SERVANT’S LIES!

[Chorus – soaring cleans with sludge riff beneath]
Patron’s chains, my soul confined,
Eternal pact, forever mine.
Power bought, the cost remains,
Bound forever in patron’s chains.

[Verse 2 – growls, stoner-doom groove]
DEMONS WHISPER, GODS DENY,
FAE AND FIEND DEMAND THE TIE.
EVERY MASTER CLAIMS THEIR DUE,
YOUR WILL IS GONE, YOUR FLESH IS THROUGH!

[Chorus – soaring cleans with layered growls]
Patron’s chains, my soul confined,
Eternal pact, forever mine.
Power bought, the cost remains,
Bound forever in patron’s chains.

[Bridge – long, fuzzy stoner metal riff + solo]
(Guitar solo: slow, bluesy bends evolving into fuzzy shred; drenched in fuzz/distortion, hypnotic groove. Choirs hum low beneath like chanting.)

[Breakdown – crushing doom growls, half-time riff]
CHAINS WILL BIND! — YOU CAN’T ESCAPE!
SOUL ENSLAVED! — YOUR FORM REMADE!
PATRON CALLS! — YOU SERVE THE NAME!
MAGIC THRALL! — IN CHAINS YOU STAY!

[Final Chorus – soaring cleans, fuzz guitar + choirs swelling]
Patron’s chains, my soul confined,
Eternal pact, forever mine.
Power bought, the cost remains,
Bound forever in patron’s chains.

[Outro – fuzzed-out doom riff fading, whispered vox]
Patron’s chains… forever bound…
