The Tick And The Tock

Like a man whose name is forgotten.

I've never won any prizes.
Of course, there's no way to gamble and win.
I have never held a position of honor.
And dogs never tamed me.

Like a man whose name is forgotten.
I only smile quietly.

When I try to order, the waiter doesn't come.
Often only my food doesn't reach.
And when I meet up with people, I'm usually kept waiting.

Like a man whose name is forgotten.
I've gotten used to that by now.

If there were a town somewhere with only sober people, 
would I be able to live there peacefully?

As long as you guys enjoy it, that's all that matters to me.
I'm not a great man, so please don't mind me.
Well, you guys are quite the feat.

Like a man whose name is forgotten.
I only quietly walk away.

Like a man whose name is forgotten

The landscape seen from this room appears to be distorted due to the magnetic field. 
Nothing in particular to see, though.

We're holed up here and enduring.
Prayers are also shielded.

Over time, the significance of the battle has been lost.
The Deities are fed up and no longer speak to us.

We're trying to shoot down constellations with missiles.

Looking up at the oval moon, we contemplate the meaning of peace.

Some people talk about the economic value of war.
But this is not a conspiracy; it is simply violence.

No one can rule the world, no one can speak of justice.

Looking up at the oval moon, we contemplate the meaning of peace.

Looking up at the oval moon, we're waiting for the end of the world.

There's no story waiting to be written.
It became a story because it was written.
A tragedy without a name is not a tragedy, 
and love untold is only reproduction.

If we don't have words.
If we don't have words. 

Like animals and plants, we could have been happy.

Essentially, death is not grief, just a natural phenomenon.
To eat, to love, to die, just to live.
We seek meaning in these things.

If we don't have words.
If we don't have words. 

We could have lived more freely and naturally.

In a world without words, many things disappear.
Still we will feel love, and there will be joy and sorrow.

There's no story waiting to be written.
It became a story because it was written.
A tragedy without a name is not a tragedy, 
and love untold is only reproduction.

If we don't have words.
If we don't have words. 

We may have been as innocent as deities once expected.

If we don't have words / collaboration with Pablo Dario Martin

Rise or fall to limbo

The world keeps spinning at strange angles.
More and more speed, and at dangerous angles.
Eventually, centrifugal force will prevail and we may be thrown out.

Rise or fall to limbo.
We repeat forever.

On TV, news of war and war news.
We became quite familiar with tanks and missiles.
Spend money on expensive weapons and make money on reconstruction. 
Is that the rule?

Rise or fall to limbo.
No one can stop this, it seems.

We put on warm clothes and go for a walk.
Don't let go of my hand, ever.

We mourn the hundreds of lives lost in the earthquake.
And we honor the tens of thousands of lives lost in the war.
We may eventually get used to it and feel that it is normal.

Rise or fall to limbo.
Welcome to the new world order.

Rise or fall to limbo

Valentine's Day in the Underground Mall

This city's underground mall is becoming desolate.
This place is a graveyard of old-fashioned consumption.

There's no need to dig underground. And no one buys stuff anymore.

Valentine's Day in the Underground Mall.
It's gorgeous at a glance, though.

In the past, this city bombed and most of the things burned.
The survivors built shacks and developed them.

Certainly that's  nice history, but we don't need to do it again.

Valentine's Day in the Underground Mall.
It's not so cold here, though.

We're still in the middle of an operation to build a ruin.
We already know that we will be in a lot of trouble later.

This city's underground mall is becoming desolate.
There's a place that everyone wants to forget about already.

People would walk by. And not pay any attention to what was there.

Valentine's Day in the Underground Mall.
It's gorgeous at a glance, though.

Your Feet Will Never Touch The Ground

Never coming, never coming, never coming down
Floating in a caravan, a fantasy of love
Looking at the sea below, starry heavens not so far above
Drifting in a magic ship, a perfect harmony
Come on all you people now, are you searching just like me?

Got to get down, got to wake up 
Got to get down and wake up for morning

In the land of golden slumbers
You can find us undercover
If you let your mind discover
You can find the seven wonders
You know it's true

Life is just a dream away
A psyched out surf ride holiday
The stars the moon the sunshine rays
Will light our path
We're never coming down

Your life is but one step away from the psychodrama
Of day to day
The stars the moon the sun all say
We'll guide your path
We're never coming down

Floating in a caravan, a fantasy of love
Looking at the sea below, starry heavens not so far above
Drifting in a magic ship, a perfect harmony
Come on all you people now, you're searching just like me?

Never coming, never coming, never coming down
No we're never going to give it up, we're never gonna give it up
Yeh we're always going to fly so high our feet will never touch the ground
Yeh we're always going to live it up, we're always going to live it up
Our feet will never touch the ground

Carried on a silver cloud, take us to a higher ground
Take us to the freedom there, the love is all around

Never coming, never coming, never coming down

~ Lyrics:

I am all the bombs you made for me
I am everything that you can’t see
Give me heart and give me fire
hold me tight in my desire

And burn me down

I am every name you have for me
I am everything that you can’t ever be
Give me love and give me fire
cut my wings and my desire

And burn me down

I am all the edges that you grow 
I am all the love you want to show

So burn me down with love

I am just a battlefield you see
all I do is meant to break you free

Bombs

I wrote the chords/riff to this back in 2002. I was just reminiscing about living in Vancouver Canada again  - living in the mountains and leaving it all behind for a "Brand new day". Hope you like some part of it. 

This is the second song from the project "Are you out there?"

Cheers,
Three Photons

Brand new day

Sunshine on my back.
It's beginning to decline.
It doesn't make me happy and looks not at all lovely.

We are living in the age of dusk.
The night is long and the dawn will be far.


Ruined civilization left one poetry to us.
We should begin to write it shortly, if someone will read.

The end will come calmly little by little.
I feel sunshine on my back.


The choirs singing uprose and filled the church.
The voice of prayer is drowning in the strong wind.


Sunshine on my back.
That shine is not strong anymore.
Looking for lost things, we wander in the town.

We've consumed all the things.
Whom do I say goodbye to?

Sunshine On My Back

An original and live version of Timber Timbre's song "Demon Host", featuring my wonderful friend Sean on ukulele and backing vocals.

Demon Host - Liv Brianny ft. Sean Howard

I hope you know you killed me
slow and painfully and it was all for nothing
I fear the truth so I don't fear you 
cause all you do is lie
one day i'll be the one
hopefully the moon and sun will help me
maybe I'm meant for sorrow is there a heart I can borrow?
cause mine is dead and gone.
Dear god i've learned my lesson, please save me from this hell that I'm in I'm in, I'm sorry I wont do it again.. I'm sorry please guard me
will I ever understand that theres no one who can understand me 
just look into my eyes.. empty, but It's so funny that we never really see until it's too late
and this whole time trying to escape we've been running in circles for centuries and theres still no one here to stop me.

I hope you know you've killed me, slow and painfully and it was all for nothing. I fear the truth so I don't fear you cause all you do is lie

That's the 8th track of our second album "Homemade music", enjoy :)

I was killed by the hand of a hit man 
sent by someone who wanted me to shut up,
two shots rang out in the night, such an awful sound,
were enough to send me laying on the ground.

But I'm not shutting up, thanks to this pre-recorded song,
I keep telling my version of the story, though I'm definitely gone.
Greetings to my family and friends, they must go on without me
but for now I'm able to stay down here in the grave, and yet say hi.

I'm thinking about the story of the so many people 
whose lives they risked to lose, in loving of the truth.
These are real leader.

There's no honour in dying, you know,
the honour is staying alive.

Lyrics:
I’m counting down the days 
Or weeks or months or years
When I look upon your face
And I forget all my fears
So far beyond tired
Could I stay a little while longer

For you to whisper in the night
I’ll see you in the morning light
And when nobody seems to care
Just know that I’ll be there

In the morning we’ll be fine
You can place your hand in mine

MAY'BE WE'LL FALL
WHEN I SEE YOU ACROSS THE UNIVERSE
I'M CHASING STARS
CAN'T BELIEVE I'VE GONE THIS FAR

ALL ALONE
I'M ALL ALONE
MY ONLY HOPE IS TO FIND YOU
I'M ALL ALONE

UP IN THE AIR
BREATHING IN THE APMOSPHERE
MY TIME HAS COME
CAN'T SEE MY WAY BACK HOME

ALL ALONE
I'M ALL ALONE
MY ONLY HOPE IS TO FIND YOU......

I HEAR YOU'VE BEEN CALLING MY NAME
GUESS YOU'VE HEARD THIS SLOGAN BEFORE

TAKE GOOD CARE
'YOU KNOW' I MIGHT JUST SEE YOU THERE
BUT IT'S SO FAR
THE DAY'S IN LIFE ARE GETTING SHORT

ALL ALONE
I'M ALL ALONE
MY ONLY HOPE IS TO FIND YOU
I'M ALL ALONE
