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)

Rien de Bien

A beautiful and sublime track with elements of ethnic and gothic

this track was inspired by reading The Wager, a great true adventure story by David Grann. 

lyrics

meet me in the portrait 
down beneath the shade of tree
pack me in a suitcase
hollow out a chest built out for tea

I could be the border 
maybe you could set my scene
a painting like a raincheck 
trapped inside a submarine 

somebody is following
you better watch your back
once you lost your mind it's gone
and your incurring 
wager islands wrath 

so meet me in the rainbow 
down by the waterfront cascade
where beaux jack a dandies 
stole all the hearts from those who prayed

we could be important 
when our discoveries unveiled 
hook me up to morphine girl 
and I'll put up the bail

somebody is following 
you better watch your back
once you lost your mind it's gone
and your incurring wager islands wrath 

so meet me in the portrait 
we'll set sail at crescent moon
you can be the cannon
ball and I'll provide the boom

look out for me this summer 
when all the seas have frozen cold
you can be the treasure map
and I'll provide the gold


thanks for listening, greatly appreciated as always.


Wager Island (Acoustic)

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

Jag vill ha kaffe. ( 1997 ) Eddy Mango ( Eddy )

Music and Lyrics Copyright 2025 Joe Stroffolino

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.

lyrics:
This is not a drill!

Give me something to break it in two
give me glory to rule the fools
take me in your house on a big flat screen
Ready to sink you on a dark black dream

Are you ready to become a slave of me?
Corrupted government ain't gonna set u free
All these righteous pre-election pigs
are now pointing the finger for you to pay the fee

Now it's the time, this is not a drill
ain't got no privilege , got nothing to feel
Your heart is gray from the news today
only your soul left in the end to pay


(p) & (c) 2025, Hostal Handshake.

This is not a drill! (new song 2025)

The Serpent's Kiss

Sleep, O Hollow, in shadows deep,
Guard your secrets, in winter’s keep…”
The silence falls, the cold has grown,
The Hollow sleeps, in frost and stone.
Snowbound dreams, where spirits hide,
The owls chant low by the fire’s side.
From winter’s slumber, the Hollow shall rise,
Bathed in dawn beneath the skies.
Through shadows deep, the flame shall burn,
The wheel of seasons forever turns.
Roots awake, the earth takes breath,
Life returns from the hand of death.
The songbirds sing, the rivers race,
The summer fire lights every face.
O Hollow, ancient, your song remains,
Through sunlit fields and fiery rains.
By storm and silence, by night and day,
Your voice shall guide the endless way.
Whispered omens in the trees,
Echoes ride on twilight breeze.
Owls and spirits, starry skies,
Guard the flame where silence lies.
From winter’s slumber, the Hollow shall rise,
Bathed in dawn beneath the skies.
Through endless ages, your song shall reign,
Seasons return — yet you remain!
“Sleep again when the night is near,
The Hollow whispers, forever here…"
Seasons of the Eternal Hollow
The silence falls, the cold has grown,
The Hollow sleeps, in frost and stone.
Snowbound dreams, where spirits hide.
