Breaking Free (Lyrics by Jaime J. Ross)

—————————————————————— 
Tied to everything that "was"
With rope that's worn and old
The knots that were so very tight
Now loosen up their hold

You work until your hands are loose
And slip out easily
No longer tied to where you were
You're finally breaking free

Scars now wrap around your wrists
They tell what you won't say
A constant dark reminder
That you could not get away

But now the ropes fall to the floor
You stand up straight and tall
Look out upon the great beyond
Know you can have it all

—————————————————————— 
No longer bound to anything
No longer sitting still
No longer stuck in all that "was"
Held against your will

Endless opportunity
No limits that you see
The world is now wide open
For you have broken free

—————————————————————— 
/: You look behind at where you were
See others who are tied
The ropes still hold them tightly
You can't leave them behind :/

You work until their ropes let go
And finally let them be
You all move on together
Finally breaking free

—————————————————————— 
No longer bound to anything
No longer sitting still
No longer stuck in all that "was"
Held against your will

Endless opportunity
No limits that you see
The world is now wide open
For you have broken free

Piano Improvisations #24.8

Back in 2024 Dan C E Kresi and myself started working on a few ideas. Being the master of slicing and splicing that he is, he took some guitar parts I recorded and twisted them into something new....
Something called... OKTOPIA

These are the first tracks to be finished with more to come later.

Our styles may be very different, but when galaxies collide, sometimes magic happens! :)

OKTOPIA Presents: Deep Dive

Beats, Synths & Samples: Dan C E Kresi
Lead Guitar, Rhythm Guitar & Bass: The Shire Bairn Project
Produced by The Shire Bairn Project

Colliding Galaxies

Deep Dive

This instrumental track, performed by GOLTZ (Gunther Benedict-drums, Christoph Musil-bass, Mario Palaschke-keyboards), is the result of a nightly improvisation that started out in search of some musical idea but quickly developed a desire for swing.

Everyone is a traveler... May good fortune be with the traveler!!

Cheating lovers in a motel.
From the album: " Curiosities Of Outsider Art" (Sept 2025)

Lyrics:
At the Motel down by the Liquor Store
"Do not disturb" sign hangs upon the door
Informing Housekeeping of the status of "Our Armour"
You arch your back in a way that I just can't ignore

You say I'm a simpleton
I just watch my pay per view
Your minds on him
And my heart feels so blue
Because I'm
Full-time bastard
I'm your part-time handsome man
Part-time, handsome man

Does your husband see your sad eyes?
And think their true?
I feel like a small part of you
Housekeeping comes once a day
But you like to cum 
So much more than that
You say

Baby, I'm a simpleton
I watch my pay per view
Then I know your hearts with him
I know my heart is blue
I'm a full time bastard
What are you?

I'm your part time handsome man...

Part -Time Handsome Man

I can't seem to put down the guitar now that I've picked it back up! Played around with layering some kind of simple repetitive loops to create a hypnotic atmosphere on this one.

lyrics
[Faraway]

Smell good tranquil snow
Small cloud turned into snow
Smell good tranquil snow

Who I am
I don’t know 
Am I just thoughts ?
Thoughts have made me
Who I am
I don’t know 
Am I just thoughts ?
Thoughts have made me
ここにいるつかの間
理由を知ることなく
自分を選んだわ
あなたは
あなたを

遠く遠く離れたところで
誰かが叫ぶ
遠く遠く離れたところで
心が裂ける
もう遠すぎて私には
雪のよう
ここにいるつかの間
訳を知ることなく
自分を選んだわ
あなたは
あなたを
