Mettle Metal

one upon a time we went to the House of Nanking restaurant and as we sat down a quarter-pounder cockroach strolled down the counter. nobody was bothered and we stayed and ate 'cuz the food was so damn good. still a favorite and inspiration for this exotic musical dish called House of Nanking Blues.

Stranger

As a stranger i arrived
As a stranger i went 							


As a stranger i arrived
As a stranger i went
From anywhere close to somewhere
And then back to anywhere again

Well I could tell a thousand tales
Well i could tell a thousand lies

I could tell  a thousand dreams
That might not be true
Could formulate a thousand lines
You won’t believe that they’re true

Well, I could tell…
I could run a hundred thousand miles and more…

As a stranger i arrived
As a stranger i went 							

As a stranger i arrived
As a stranger i went
From anywhere close to somewhere
And then back to anywhere again…

- solo -

As a stranger i arrived
As a stranger i went
From anywhere close to somewhere
And then back to anywhere again

One thing asking myself,
Has it been true ?
Did i really run a thousand miles
Just to get hold of you ?		
One thing that i must ask again
Has that been true ?
Did i really run a thousand miles
Just to get hold of you ?				

Well, i could tell…
Well, i could tell…

Did i really run a thousand miles
Just to get hold of you ?
Did i really write a thousand lines
Then to get rid of you ?
I could run a hundred thousand miles
Well, i could run a hundred thousand miles and more
With a stone in my shoe…

Il lavoro mobilità l’uomo 

Il lavoro mobilita ogni uomo 
Lavorare diventa veramente 
Un dono che possiede ogni
Uomo. Il lavoro mobilita l’uomo 
In ogni suo ruolo. Il lavoro mobilita 
L’uomo lavorare diventa veramente 
Un dono il lavoro mobilita l’uomo 
Che cerca sempre un suo ruolo 
Nel mondo del lavoro. Il lavoro mobilita 
L’ uomo in ogni suo ruolo il lavoro mobilita 
L’uomo, lavorare diventa veramente un dono
Il lavoro mobilita l’uomo in ogni suo ruolo che
Usa in qualsiasi modo il lavoro mobilita l’uomo 
In ogni suo ruolo. Il lavoro mobilita l’uomo che 
Cerca sempre un modo per fare bene il suo lavoro 
Ogni uomo agisce in un modo nuovo. Sono stato 
Mitragliato dai miei sbagli e per diversi anni ho sempre 
Subito danni, il lavoro mobilita l’uomo è avvolte nei miei 
Errori ci casco di nuovo è mi ritrovo nella stessa identica situazione
Come se davanti alla porta del portiere mi chiedessero di battere un
Rigore ma sbaglio sempre la stessa posizione,  il lavoro mobilita l’uomo 
È dentro di me cerco sempre un nuovo uomo che magari sappia amarmi
Di nuovo per quello che sono. Non voglio cambiare di nuovo perché io
Sono un uomo buono che lavora sodo. Il lavoro mobilita l’uomo è voglio
Rimanere lo stesso perché mi conosco troppo spesso adesso tu sei 
Al centro del mio universo, io amo te e  tu ami me. Il lavoro mobilita l’uomo 
È l’uomo nel amore lavora sodo per cercare di mantenere la pace del mondo.

Il lavoro mobilita l’ uomo.

RustyMonk | Musician. Storyteller. Wanderer of Sound.

Raised on the soul of classic rock, the pulse of old-school hip-hop, and the dreamscapes of synth-driven electronica, my music is a fusion of the past and future. I blend folk guitar, analog drums, keys, synth and atmospheric textures to build sonic landscapes that feel lived in—because they are.

I don’t chase genres. I follow emotion.

Each track I create is a memory in motion, stitched from heartache, hope, and raw human experience. From high school choir harmonies to dusty home studio nights, music has always been my compass.

In a world spinning with chaos, I believe in the power of sound to ground us—reminding us that kindness, connection, and authenticity matter. No shame, no masks. Just truth set to rhythm.

🎶 Life is a song. Sometimes gritty, sometimes golden. But always ours to write.

Thanks for listening, sharing, and walking this path with me.
🩵 Much love,
RustyMonk ©️2025
