10-Year-Old King

China Shop

Heavy drums and heavy bass.  Guitars that sound like synths and synths that sound like guitars.  A song that starts in a dark place but ends up in an optimistic place.

Don't Forget

A song I recorded back in late 2018/early 2019. Deleted for whatever reason. The section of intense vocals toward the end of this song I've used in another song called "Losing It" which I may re-record in the future. So be on the lookout for that familiar ending. Enjoy.

The Art of Letting Go (Acoustic Version)

The stockings have been hung, with care, the tree is up and lit.
It’s Christmas time, that much is clear.
The children all have made their lists, and sent them to Saint Nick.
It won’t be long, the time is near.
There is just one thing left to do, to those still miles apart.
To all of you we hold so dear.
We wish you Merry Christmas from our heart.

Merry, merry Christmas and a happy New Year.
I hope you know that even though the miles, they separate,
Does not mean we forgot, you’re always in our thoughts.
We wish you all were here, so we could celebrate.
But since you’re not, we plan to stop on Christmas Eve
And offer up a little prayer for you.
Merry Christmas from all of us, to you.

But since you’re not, we plan to stop on Christmas Eve
And offer up a little prayer for you.
Merry Christmas from all of us, we hope you also think of us,
Merry Christmas from all of us, to you.



Merry Christmas from All of Us

A song about letting our good intentions get in the way of a call to action - and feeling regret.

Song about the importance of music and dance in our lives, don't wait, dance today!

***** LYRICS *****
[Verse 1]
In the morning light, the world feels new,
With every step, the magic’s calling you.
Leave your worries, let them drift away,
Dance to the rhythm, don’t let the day decay.
Feet on the ground, head in the clouds,
Feel the energy lifting from the crowds.
Every moment’s fleeting, don’t let it pass,
So come on now, let’s have a blast!!

[Chorus]
Dance today, before the day is lost,
Let the troubles fade away, no matter the toss.
With every leap, you’ll find your way,
Forget the world, just sway and play.
Dance to express, not to impress,
Find your freedom in the music’s caress.
If there isn’t a beat playing in your heart,
Then you lose the rhythm, time to restart!
Time to restart!!

[Verse 2]
Underneath the stars, where dreams come alive,
Lose yourself in movement, feel the joy to thrive.
Each twirl and spin, a story to be told,
The night’s electric magic, can’t be bought or sold.
Pull the night closer, let your spirit soar,
Dance through the shadows, always want more.
Life’s a dance floor, so show your flair,
Let go of your worries, they’re no longer there.

[Chorus]
Dance today, before the day is lost,
Let the troubles fade away, no matter the toss.
With every leap, you’ll find your way,
Forget the world, just sway and play.
Dance to express, not to impress,
Find your freedom in the music’s caress.
If there isn’t a beat playing in your heart,
Then you lose the rhythm, time to restart!
Time to restart!
Time to restart!

[Bridge]
Skip, skip to the tune, let your soul ignite,
Feel the pulse of passion as you dance through the night.
With every heartbeat, chase away the fear,
Dance like it’s your last, hold your loved ones near.
Moments like these are precious and rare,
So grab a friend, let them feel the care.
In this cosmic party, everyone’s a star,
Shine your light bright, no matter who you are.

[Guitar Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Dance today, before the day is lost,
Let the troubles fade away, no matter the toss.
With every leap, you’ll find your way,
Forget the world, just sway and play.
Dance to express, not to impress,
Find your freedom in the music’s caress.
If there isn’t a beat playing in your heart,
Then you lose the rhythm, time to restart!
Time to restart!

[Outro]
So turn up the volume, let the speakers roar,
Dance until you’re breathless, wanting more and more.
In this dance of life, let’s choose to be free,
Join the celebration, just you and me.
The day is fading, but our spirits soar,
So dance today, let’s shake up the floor!
Time to restart!
Time to restart!
Time to restart!

Dance Today (Time To Restart)

Underground Railroad (2025) 

A whisper becomes a weapon. A breath becomes a promise.

This song is a sonic patchwork of resistance, stitching together the threads of a modern human crisis with the ancient rhythms of this land. Imagine the determined pulse of Powwow Drums meeting the defiant groove of Latin Rock, while the cry of a Native American Flute echoes over driving Folk-Rock guitars.

It's the sound of communities operating in shadows, building a new "Underground Railroad" not with physical tracks, but with coded messages, hidden rooms, and unbreakable solidarity. It's a duet between fear and courage, sung in whispers and shouted in anthemic choruses.

They can build machines of fear, but they cannot control the ghosts within them. We are here. We are together. And we disappear.

Underground Railroad (2025)

Ein Flüstern wird zur Waffe. Ein Atemzug wird zum Versprechen.

Dieser Song ist ein klanglicher Flickenteppich des Widerstands. Er verbindet die Fäden einer modernen humanitären Krise mit den uralten Rhythmen dieses Landes. Stell dir den entschlossenen Puls von Powwow-Trommeln vor, der auf den trotzigen Groove von Latin Rock trifft, während der Ruf einer Native American Flute über treibenden Folk-Rock-Gitarren widerhallt.

Es ist der Sound von Gemeinschaften, die im Verborgenen agieren und eine neue "Underground Railroad" bauen – nicht aus Schienen, sondern aus codierten Nachrichten, versteckten Zimmern und unzerbrechlicher Solidarität. Es ist ein Duett zwischen Angst und Mut, geflüstert in Versen und herausgeschrieen in hymnischen Chorälen.

Sie mögen Maschinen der Angst bauen, aber sie können nicht die Geister in ihnen kontrollieren. Wir sind hier. Wir sind zusammen. Und wir verschwinden.

Underground Railroad

My 53rd vocal track.  Made on my birthday :)
Like 'Film At Eleven' part of this is good but toward the end... lol
I remember Gene Wilder talking about Mel Brooks shooting ideas like a blunderbuss.  When they hit, great. When they miss... :)
Like recently, Every Given Moment / Chnospinci is dynamite.
I do have a better appreciation for the middle third though once I listen with headphones. it's just the last part that grates.  Before I listened at all I thought 2/3 was a problem

I try to kind of push myself to keep making to keep moving.

Lyrics:

You can save the world
If you believe in nothing hard enough

My compatriot scaled to the top of the battlement
And having decided he'd rather stay there
He proceeded to holler down at me somewhat imperiously
I'm starting to wonder if real-world accomplishment
Is daycare or welfare
For people who take shit way too seriously

The first act of transhumanism
Was Eve picking the apple
And down the line we've had to grapple
With piercingly sensible doomerisms

She was one of those rare girls
With a triple hair whorl

The girl was deep into the duck pate
And I was trying to break her into the idea
That it's not called an Ekhaus latte

Her tip was fringe Egyptian language theory
She looked up from studying her Demotic and
Hit me with a sharp query
Why do age gates always lead to erotica
I said you don't have to opt in dearie

Everybody pities the weak
But jealousy you have to earn
And i thought that was a rather sick burn
Coming from that little sneak

She said men need a lot less sex than they think
And i said in a universe where you'd say it
That's accurate

She said nothing is a fad
Here's the thing there will be no pendulum swing
We will not be returning
And then i said
We shall be pleased not to return to nothing
Got it!
And she said 
Well pleased might be too optimistic
I think things are about to go ballistic
So best gear up your learning

And then i recalled sex
With my social justice ex
I oppressed her alright
I oppressed her all night
And then i avoided her poison bite
By signing the rent checks

And once her creditors get paid
I would like to know how
The color revolution sausage 
Exactly gets made
All of the topical zest
Which goes into a slick
Top down protest
In something other than braille
I would like the full journalistic detail
As to how it all makes the grade

She had a sort of
Gourmet cachet
And they way she dealt
With all this shit about fat
Was to find a way
To bury the ice cream hatchet

In our time 
The republic of letters
Has very low walls about it
And someone had the unmitigated gall
To make a lowbrow insult
About all this tumult
And as a result
Nobody goes there anymore
Because it's too crowded

Color Revolution Sausage

Retired the beginning of 2023. Been writing music seriously for about six years. Thanks for listening - and sharing!

Merry Christmas from All of Us
