From space, we gaze upon our birth,
A pale blue dot, a cherished worth.
In cosmic solitude, a distant sight,
Planet Earth aglow in gentle light.

I've seen the tears that the headlines don't show
Broken hearts lost where the wild winds blow
Hold on to love it’s all we possess
Dawn still breaks through this tangled mess.

I've seen the news

Reciting the Gayatri Mantra is believed to elevate the mind and spirit, fostering inner peace and understanding.
I’ve met a great artist: Kaori Takeda, more than 10 years ago; a dear friend introduced her to me and my family.  I lately proposed to Kaori to collaborate; but life is strange. It took me over 10 years for various reasons. Now, we have finally collaborate on this song with her vocals, melody and lyrics; I've only sent her my music base and Kaori has put her great effort into it, and I am honored and happy. 
Keep in touch and like her page. She’s a real brave and spiritual artist.
Arigatou Kaori san.

Om This is for the Mantra - Kaori Takeda - Stephen Head

I composed this tune 2 decades ago. I was deeply involved with Kinesiogy, Phisiology and all that jazz. All I had was a Roland piano. It would sound much better now, But the emotions I've tried to put in it are still good for my spirit.

Deep Inside

Subterranean Sunrise / Stephen Head, S2D01
A surrealistic subterranean sunrise. It starts from nowhere, goes round and round pushing, pushing, and ends to another kind of nowhere. I like it. Somehow my life seems so. BTW, There's more under your feet than you think.

Hearts in Collision

A Reflection on Universal Human Rights

There are moments in human history when words and actions force us to stop, to reflect deeply on who we are as a species and where we are heading as a global civilization. Moments when the horror of certain statements shakes us to our core, reminding us how fragile the fabric of our shared humanity truly is.

When Will We Learn? (Adagietto)

The city lights come on as Ashiya sunset.
Tonight I wander the familiar streets, immersed in memories.
The sea breeze whispers softly, bringing stories of home.
We move away, then we bring closer... and so on and on.
Even though we are far away, I am never alone tough.

芦屋の夕焼けとともに、街の灯りが灯る。
今夜、私は思い出に浸りながら、馴染みの通りを彷徨う。
海風がそっと囁き、故郷の物語を運んでくる。
遠く離れていても、私は決して一人ではない。

My Family far 10K Lullaby

A ripple flows across the still lake
Shadows stretch and softly break
The air hums low
A tender ache

Whispering tides
They call my name
Endless skies
Never the same
Whispering tides
Here I remain
