What if you lose your language(s)?
There are parts in the song where different vocals appear at the same time which makes it harder to understand. This is intended. After all the song is about aphasia.

The Aphasic
In this damned town I always walk around
searching for the sign I will never find
cannot give up, cannot go on
I feel eternity, feel it right in front of me

I can’t hear what they say/ the same
express it my own way/ every day
what they don’t understand/ can’t find
they try but they can’t/ the words to say
words slipping through my grasp/the thoughts swirl inside your mind
though I try to clasp/but the words just unwind
the words are in the past/the words out of grasp
they can never last/caught in your mind’s trap
I see it in your eyes/the thoughts…
my words a big surprise/but the words…
it’s all in my mind/the words…
I write a few lines/caught in…
but I can’t understand the sings of my own hand

can’t read a single line, can’t read a single sign
the words don’t reach you, though they try to teach you

I’m caught somewhere in my mind, can’t cross the borderline
I’m lonely in a crowd, and I can’t get out
there’s darkness in the light/the same
and light in the dark night/every day
I’ll get along with it/can’t find 
‘cause I’m too strong for it/the words to say
I’m lost in my speech/ the thoughts swirl inside your mind
the words are out of reach/ but the words just unwind
I would like to break free/ the words out of grasp
hope I can find the key/ caught in mind’s trap
some words cross my way/the thoughts…
but they will never stay/but the words…
the words don’t make sense/ the words out of grasp
out of reach, behind the fence/ caught in mind’s trap
I’ll find a way to shine/ the thoughts…
you’ll see that I’ll be fine/ but the words…
I will find my voice/the words…
it will be more than noise/caught in…
you’ll see it’s not in vain, I’ll find my own refrain

can’t read a single line, can’t read a single sign
the words don’t reach you, though they try to teach you

While My Guitar W/ Hit Med Pengene

Lyrics:
Oh my days
When will we begin
To see that change
Has started
Started from within

The human race
Is so divided now
What will it take
To bring us
Bring us back to base

Into the future
Into the time of love
Into the future
Bring us all back to love
Into the future

It never ends
The governments that war
Whereas the people 
Don't want it
Don't want it anymore

Who are they
To say that we should fight
Those powerful leaders
Betray us
Betray us day and night

Into the future
Into the time of love
Into the future
Bring us all back to love
Into the future

The Future

"Moods 'n Waves"

They say different moods come in waves, and that was something I had in mind when making this song! Also if you listen carefully, you may recognize a familiar sound or two:) 

I used two virtual instruments here: the synth lead, bass and the keyboard all come from Arturia Mini-V (emulating the ever-so-lovely classic Minimoog synthesizer), and the drum track was programmed mainly with the EG Pulse drum machine/sampler for iOS, using the 707 drum kit.

This was played using a 37-key Korg microKEY Air midi keyboard as a midi controller. Don't ask what the chords are.. I have no idea:) I just started stacking voices and chords on top of each other and this is where I landed. 

Recorded and mixed in Cubase using iZotope Neutron. Mastered with iZotope Ozone.
 
Have a nice weekend!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Across the bay
Many many many miles away
See a crescent moon
Reflected in a field of poppies bloomed

Take a step into this vision, soon
Grab a flower and throw it at the moon

(YOU)
Don’t ask me how you’re gonna get there soon
(Don’t ask me, don’t ask me, do)
(YOU)
You might as well throw a flower at the moon

Throw a flower, a flower, at the moon
Throw a flower, a flower, at the moon

Save our wrecks
Oh then, say the best
Get it off your chest
Just another shipwreck

Another shipwreck
Get it off your chest
Another shipwreck
Get it off your chest

Rock Where I Stand

A longtime musician, Rod Kinny has always had a passion for his craft. Beginning in elementary school with band and choir to playing bass in local rock bands. After graduating high school, the native Minnesotan enlisted in the US Air Force. In the mid 1980's he found himself stationed in England. When not on duty he would frequently escape base. Most often to the lure of the bright lights of London for music, art, pubs, & nightclubs. Initially hesitant of some of the British pop charts, he soon came to appreciate the music of Level 42, Peter Gabriel, The Prefab Sprout, Scritti Pollitti, and many others. After leaving the Air Force and taking up digs in Minneapolis, he began playing in bands and doing catering. With frustration mounting, playing bass in local rock bands wasn't perking his creativity. And so, he quit music...... only to be reborn as a solo artist. In early 2002 he released his lifelong dream of a solo record.  

  In early 2007 he began what was to be his first breakthrough release with Producer Joe Puerta of Ambrosia, and Bruce Hornsby & The Range. The result  was “Higher Self” released in May of 2010. “Higher Self” has sold in 12 countries and the title track went to #1 on Indie-Music.com’s Adult Contemporary chart. The musical style is reminiscent of 1970‘s American West Coast album oriented rock with current, often  inspirational themes.

Flashing forward to 2013, he began a collaboration with Producer/Engineer Brian Bart. Brian was a member of the legendary Twin Cities band Dare Force. He has worked with Jim Peterik, (Survivor) & Kelly Keagy. (Night Ranger) 2017 saw the release of “Forces of Nature” which featured the songs “Truth Vibrations”, “Feargal Sharkey”, as well as the title track.

And lastly, Rod Kinny - the Definitive Collection. A “best of” compilation featuring three new songs recorded in 2023. Rod has worked with many great musicians over the years including Michael B. Nelson, Steve Strand, Jimi Behringer, Brian Reidinger, Ken Wilson, Donnie La Marca, Matt Fink, Bill Brown, Bobby Schnitzer, John Calarco, & Keith Pulvermacher to name a few. The new album will be available in autumn 2023.
