Name: What A Waste by Rizzy Stephenson in Army of Truth
Duration: 4 min 50 s
Description: Official music video on YouTube - link in bio.

What an intense and compelling track. Beautiful, Rizzy.

Great voice and song.. Lovely with the piano

This is too good a song to leave behind, Rizzy. Have Long Island ever arranged /recorded it?  A riff from Cameron and his backing vocals to complement your harmonies at the end. Would be a waste not too 😆

Army of Truth

I was a street musician for a couple of years, longer ago than I care to specify ;) As a busker, playing hide-and-seek with the Law was part of the game. And when you got busted…

Game For Dimes

Do you recall when you lost your mind,
When you misplaced your voice within the silence,
Where the fear suppressed your nerve to fight,
Where you casually succumbed to mental violence ?

Do you remember where you left those polished shoes
When you were free to chose to run, walk or creep ?
Did you forget that you still have that path to choose
When they clicked their fingers and told you to sleep ?

They told you to sleep

Come back into the room
Come back into the room
Come back into the room
We need you

Come back into the room
Come back into the room
Come back into the room
We need you

Come back into the room
Come back into the room
Come back into the room
We need you

Come back into the room
Come back into the room
Come back into the room

Do you recall when you lost your mind
And why the fear masked your nerve to fight ?

Back In The Room

by projectGhostRadio - 

Look on the bright side /
Someone reads the letters that you send / 
Honin' your profile / 
You want that plastic eye to be your friend / 

Look on the bright side / 
Every little thing you say is being heard / 
Feeding the file / 
Recording every bit of every word / 

In your very home / 
Ain't it good to know you're not alone / 


When you waste an hour / 
Flippin' through the channels on TV / 
Singin' in the shower / 
Then a beer or else a cup of tea / 

Do they know, can they tell / 
Can they hear, can they smell / 


There's a crumb for every step of every trail / 
You've been notified your life is up for sale / 

But look on the bright side / 
Now you know you'll never be alone / 


Cruisin' on the highway / 
Your wheels know just where you want to go / 
Ridin' in the subway / 
With the other extras on the show / 

Do they know, can they tell / 
What you think, how you smell / 


There's a tag for every name and every face / 
Until every little soldier is in place / 

There's a crumb for every step of every trail / 
You've been notified your life is up for sale / 

But look on the bright side / 
Now you know you'll never be alone

'Electric guitar' on this track was played by Ivan Azzetti on keyboards.

Bright Side

I dunno how much more I can take
This media that feeds us must be constipated
'cause they're full of shit
Every word that they spew is just lie after lie
And it's brainwashing you
Into mindless foot soldiers
To help them control us
To force us to do shit
They know ain't good for us
Turn you against us, the ones that you love
If you open your eyes you'll see your sisters and brothers, come on

No need to run, no need to hide
They will not make us lose our minds
We're gonna make it through the night
To see the light
No need for guns, no need to fight
They will not crush our souls tonight
We'll relish victory in time
Hold the line

I'm trying but it's getting so grim man
Each day I'm getting closer to just pulling the pin
And I don't like this person that's hiding within me
He's the person that I've spent my whole life trying to not be
I don't wanna hate, I was brought up to love
I'm tryna stay true, but I'm feeling the shove
But I won't let them break me 'cause I owe it to you
To stay strong for us both until you see it too, now come on

No need to run, no need to hide
They will not make us lose our minds
We're gonna make it through the night
To see the light
No need for guns, no need to fight
They will not crush our souls tonight
We'll relish victory in time
Hold the line

They're tryna break us down
To divide us is the only hope they have
They're tryna break us down
All we need to do is pull together and we win

No need to run, no need to hide
They will not make us lose our minds
We're gonna make it through the night
To see the light
No need for guns, no need to fight
They will not crush our souls tonight
We'll relish victory in time
Hold the line

Hold The Line

What A Waste

Here is my isolated guitar solo track with full orchestra for my title track "The Wheel."
The Wheel is a concept song spanning over 20 minutes long, which I wrote in 2017/2018 and recorded in 2019. I uploaded it to my SoundCloud back in early 2020. Here are the last 4 minutes of the song. The song itself is a finale to an album idea that I had, and this guitar solo acts as the grand finale movement. The Wheel was written, recorded and arranged by Louis Taverna

Spring, though a season, is also a metaphor of new beginnings.  This tune is a celebration of all things Spring:)

Spring Will Come

A cover from one of the most gifted songwriters I’ve ever known: the late great BIG Jim Rogers.

She Stands Above You [Jim Rogers cover]

Back on Soundcloud after some time away. Looking forward to getting some more music posted.

I like to name instruments. For me it imbues them with added life or personality. I don’t tend to go for girls names. I prefer obscure, silly or pretentious ones. I named this 12 string ‘Castrovalva’ after a Lego space cruiser I had for Christmas in the late seventies or early eighties. I named the space cruiser after an episode of Dr Who.

There’s something in the words you say
That makes me want to be with you
There’s something in the way that you love
That makes me want to see it through

When you are sinking
You’re not thinking
(Oh, yay, Oh, yay, Oh, yay, Oh, Oh yay yay x2)

When something isn’t right
(something, isn’t wrong)
When something isn’t wrong
When it’s taking you over
(taking you over)
You’ve got to be smart
(got to be smart)
You’ve got to be bright 
(got to be bright)
(Or you’ll live your lie)
When you are sinking
You’re not thinking

Hustle up now,
Carry your eyes
Don’t walk, run
Something wicked this way comes

There’s something in the words you say
That makes me want to be with you
There’s something in the way that you love
That makes me want to see it through

When you are sinking
You’re not thinking
When you are sinking
You’re not thinking

Never change your mind
Never change your mind
Always change your mind
Always change your mind
Never change your mind
Never change your mind
You should always change your mind
Always change your mind
Always change your mind

Words You Say (with Mark Duffield)

Salvage your damage a song about a rebound relationship that was beyond repair as the damage was already done in the last one.

I thought it was time to start writing and recording some new songs, with a view to putting together a new solo album over the winter. For this song I have returned to my nylon string Morris guitar. Hope you like it!
LYRICS:
Sitting…. In my rocking chair
Rollin…….. with the beat
Pickin …..out a tune
Keeping time… tapping my feet

Maybe I’m getting old 
Maybe I’m getting slow 
Maybe things don’t seem like they used to do
Maybe, maybe not…. I don’t know 

Sitting….. in my rocking chair 
Close my eyes and see
All the places I have been
Just rollin … with the beat

Maybe I’m getting old 
Maybe I’m getting slow 
Maybe things don’t seem like they used to do
Maybe, maybe not…. I don’t know

Me, myself, and I, have a band that plays in the garage with a microphone on a cardboard box. Words and songs echo. Enjoy and share.

I make weird and wonderful music.
