--

i've known your face 
for years now
know every smile 
and every frown
yet when your eyes 
were filled with anger
found a bridge 
we hadn't burned

sat beneath a cold 
night sky
filled with stars 
and satellites
you said we'd lost our way 
went off the path
had to find a way 
back

would you try
would i try
to come home
to come home

some say love is 
meek and mild
while others say it's 
free and wild
i say our love is 
strong and true
stands the test of time 
with you

because you tried
because i tried
because we tried 
to come home

-interlude-

we learn to bend 
but never break
all the time that 
courages wakes
we didn't go 
we chose to stay
that's what true love takes
that's what true love takes

Overflow single from forthcoming EP 'Addendum' release date 24/9/24

Lyrics

Overflow

And the sides of my tub are so slick
I should get out
There's less of me on the surface
Than I'd like

Failure to engage my impulse control
Sees me struggling all alone
Failure to engage my impulse control
Sees me lying in my tub alone

I see bleach on the surface
In the tense refracted light
And there's less of me on the surface 
Than I'd like
And this waters chilled and numbed my wrists
I should get out

Failure to engage my impulse control
Sees me struggling all alone
Failure to engage my impulse control
Sees me lying in my tub alone

Starting to overflow
Tub is overflowing
Starting to overflow
Tub is overflowing

As my bath turns red
After a sharp inhalation of breath
And the sides of my tub are so slick
I should get out

"5 Ash Kill's latest creation "Overflow" resonates with the raw, ferocious energy that fans of metal crave. The song masterfully blends an aggressive yet relaxed mood. The composition is enriched with strong vocal presence, alongside thundering bass guitar and vigorous percussion.
In keeping with the ethos of metal music, "Overflow" stands out for its authenticity and unfiltered expression. The track's intricate instrumentation and the absence of autotune enhance its raw and genuine appeal."

Addendum

Overflow

What a delightful surprise to be invited to collaborate with fine Italian composer and producer Michele Ansani.  His work is both penetrating and reflective as he provides a musical canvas for spoken verse. 
The words recited by me are verses from one of the most famous poems by one of the greatest Italian poets of the 20th century, Eugenio Montale. They are taken from the collection entitled ‘Ossi di seppia’ ('The Bones of Cuttlefish'), published in Italy in 1925, and several times translated into English (alone or together with other works by Montale).
One is first struck by the movements between minor and major keys.  It mirrors the soul caught between hope and despair sometimes in the same moment.  The conflict is not new being as old as mankind, but with the prevalence of social media, it gains a spotlight as never before.

Lyrics (ENGLISH / ORIGINAL ITALIAN)
Perhaps one morning going alone in the air of glass,
Arid, looking back, I shall see, with the terror
Of a drunken man, the making of a miracle:
Nothingness at my shoulders, the void behind me.

Then as on a screen, suddenly, trees, houses, hills
Will assemble themselves for the usual deception.
But it will be too late; and I shall go on, quiet,
With my secret, among the men who do not turn.

Forse un mattino andando in un’aria di vetro,
arida, rivolgendomi, vedrò compirsi il miracolo:
il nulla alle mie spalle, il vuoto dietro
di me, con un terrore di ubriaco.

Poi come s’uno schermo, s’accamperanno di gitto
alberi case colli per l’inganno consueto.
Ma sarà troppo tardi; ed io me ne andrò zitto
tra gli uomini che non si voltano, col mio segreto.

Perhaps One Morning (M. Ansani, D. Dunham)

Don't worry, now, really don't
But I think that the Sun might be dying
The day was always coming, but 
I thought we had a bit more time
Do you see what I'm seeing? 
There's just not enough coming through
Not enough of those sweet Tau Neutrinos
The question right now is really "what do we do"?

Oh those Solar Neutrinos
They just go right through you
Those pesky little critters
Are giving us the jitters

Yeah, OK I see it, but let's not freak out just yet
Not until we're certain, not until we've double checked
Let's keep this under our hats
We don't want all the fighting and fussing
What if we've got it all wrong?
I don't want to cause panic for nothing

They're in a flap at Fermilab
There's concern at CERN
I knew a girl at the Hadron Collider
They wriggled and jiggled and shivered inside her

Mate...mate, look here, look at this, look
What if we've missed a trick?
What if there are different flavours, like crisps
Our basic palate just can't detect
I think we've gone off half-cocked, jumped the gun
I think we've got all excited for nowt
It's understandable, easily explained, but we've gone and freaked everyone out

People, as you were!
The neutrinos are all flowing fine
And the Sun isn't dying
Not now, not yet, not this time
You know the Sun isn't hot enough
To do what it does?
Quantum Tunnelling? Cosmic Cunning?
One day we'll run out of luck

Stick 'em in the Tokamak
Stick 'em in the Tokamak
Stick 'em in the Tokamak and make it so

Stick 'em in the Tokamak
Stick 'em in the Tokamak
Stick 'em in the Tokamak and watch 'em go!

Oh those Solar Neutrinos, they just go right through you
Hanging out at DUNE trying to fathom why
They're only ever passing by

Well back there it seemed like the end of the world
But I have to admit for a moment, in spite of
The obvious problems it presents for us all
I couldn't help feeling
Excited

Solar Neutrino Problem

This song is about my son. I think with this song, I plan to add a second part about my daughter as well, and then improve the song a little, but this will be the style mostly. I just wanted to write what I would say to any of my children. In fact I'd go as far to say I'd say this to any child. Just be you because the real you is incredible. If you are yourself, you will end up with people who love you. You don't need everyone to love you, just a few will do. Anyway, I hope you're all out there being your most incredible selves! Love to you all!

Lyrics:
You wear those eyes just like your mother
A simple look and your spell I’m under
People quote being wrapped around a finger
Yours so tiny, yet in my mind they linger
The thought of the world changing you so fast
Has me shaken so bad I can’t stay on task

Cuz my baby boy, is no longer a baby
Soon he’ll be out chasing the ladies
Can’t help but hope they don’t destroy him
Because I know the fragile sides of him
Like the time he cried over spilled chocolate milk
How his hair feels soft like a sheet of silk

But I have to let him grow
But at least I’ll let him know
Be you and only you
So, you end up
Where you’re supposed to
Be you and only you
Because you’re more than good enough 
Because you’re just so incredibly you

Incredibly You

‘Don’t You Ever Stop’ is an Alternative Pop song which was created in April 2024. The track was written by Greek Producer-Engineer/DJ Andreas Polydoros aka Sonic Figures (NYC) & Manchester Singer/Lyricist David Stanley (UK). c2024
