Lyrics © Señor Barends

Ah ah Ah Ah
They had all disappeared
Everybody I loved was gone
It made me want to scream
Turns out, it was all but a dream

Ah ah ah ah
All but a dream!

Waking up in disbelief
I feel the deepness of my grief
It makes me want to scream
What does it all mean?

Ah ah ah ah
What does it mean!?

In a dream once I was in a fight
With the evil demons of the night
To their surprise, I had learned how to fly
Out of their reach, high up in the sky

Ah ah ah ah
High up in the sky!

Half asleep, I sense a threat
Across the wall I see a dark silhouette
Grabs me by the throat, so I can’t scream
I guess that too was all but a dream

Ah ah ah ah
All but a dream!

They haunt me in my dreams
The feed on my fears it seems
They say, it's the subconscious mind 
Telling you to leave it all behind

Ah ah ah ah
Whoa whoa
Ooh ooh
What does it all mean?

All but a dream!

Leave it all behind!

All but a Dream...

I hope you like my newest mix of dream pop / psychedelic rock! 

Lyrics © Señor Barends

Oh oh

Hear my heart beating
It just keeps on repeating
Like a steady drumming
Pumping through the plumbing

Boom, boom, boom, boom
Doctor Doom is in the Room
Knocking on the ceiling
Asking for a feeling
Oh oh

Yeah, it’s louder inside 
You can hear it if you tried
Never know what’s coming 
When your ears start humming

He said there’s nothing to fear
But look what we got here
Maybe I’m a pessimist
But I think I need a specialist

Boom, boom, boom, boom
Doctor Doom is in the Room
Wait in your pajamas
Tell him about your momma

Tell him about your momma
Oh oh

O yeah, it all feels so right
When they feed you that delight
O yeah, it takes away the pain
As soon as it hits that vein

We’ve been there before
We know what’s in store
The rounds keep repeating
Hear my heart beating

Boom, boom, boom, boom
Doctor Doom is in the Room
No need to explain
Just take away the pain

Just take away the pain
Oh oh

Like a steady drumming
Pumping through the plumbing
Hear my heart beating
It keeps on repeating

It keeps on repeating
Boom, boom, boom, boom
Hear my heart beating
Oh oh

Doctor Doom is in the Room

Lyrics © Señor Barends

Days gone by
Will be remembered
Till they fade to grey
To forever stay away

What happened in the past
Wouldn’t last, went by so fast
Days gone by left their trace
In the present and future days

You and me, we’re mates
We share coordinates
Same time, same place 
Moving at the same pace

Everything is connected
Even though undetected
Only to be revealed
When all the layers are peeled

The love we once shared
Can never be repaired
Mistakes cast in time
Like all forgotten crimes

Oh, yeah

We never had a chance
As time advanced
To say goodbye
To those days gone by

We share so much
With all that lives
We’re the hand that takes
And the hand that gives

You and me, we’re mates
We share coordinates
Same time, same place 
Moving at the same pace

Days gone by
Will be remembered.
Till they fade to grey
To forever stay away

Days Gone By

This is one of my older songs that I remade as Blues / Metal fusion with lots of guitar.🎸

State of Mind

A new version of this song I've been working on recently. The music is based on a guitar track I made in 2000. The lyrics are new. It's a blues rock song with a bit of a country feeling. I hope you like it!

Lyrics © Señor Barends

Ah, I wish it was easy, baby, I wish I could let it all go
Now that you’ve been gone, so many days in a row
Each one feelin’ slower than the last
Just me alone, reflectin' on the past

I wish it came easy, darlin’, lettin’ go like you did that night  
Now I stare at the clock, countin’ slow until first daylight  
You walked like it cost nothin’ to burn it all down  
While I dug through the ashes, tryin’ not to drown  

I tried my best, yeah, I tried to show you so much love 
But all I had to give, darlin', just wasn't enough 
Time to let it go, gotta let it all go, but how, I don't know 
Lord, I don't know! 
Oh, whoa, I don't know!

Maybe it wasn't intended
Maybe it wasn’t all pretended
I know I made mistakes
Or did time change us into strangers again?
Now that you’re gone, how can I move on
If I don’t know!
Oh, whoa, I don't know!

That bed still dips where you used to lay, I lie there, but I'm miles away 
Every picture's down, but the wall still aches, time is the cure, that's what it takes 
So I let that needle spin another round, say your name, just to hear the sound

I poured out my love till the bottle ran dry  
But whatever I gave, baby, still passed you by  
Time to let it go, gotta let it all go, but how, I don't know
Lord, I don't know! 
Oh, whoa, I don't know!

I don’t know… I don’t know…
Whoa… I don’t know…

Time to Let it Go

A new song, cover of of guitar improvisation with new lyrics. I hope you like it!

Lyrics © Señor Barends

Every path we take, seems to lead us astray,
Lost in the winding roads of yesterday.
For happiness we search, truly a precious find,
But without wisdom's light, we will wander blind.

Tomorrow brings its dawn, with cures we'll surely see,
Let us mind today, for what is meant to be.
Though grief may shake the soul, and make the spirit bend,
We'll find our footing strong, until the very end.

To think you alone are right, is a dangerous foolery,
For a mind that's closed to reason, turns out empty, you will see.
The sun that shone so bright, now fades and sets for me,
A goodbye to its warmth, for all eternity.

Tomorrow brings its dawn, with cures we'll surely see,
So let us mind today, for what is meant to be.
Though grief may shake the soul, and make the spirit bend,
We'll find our footing strong, until the very end.

Dark deeds in shadows lurk, before they come to light,
The working of the mind, exposes wrong from right.
More hateful still the one, who, caught within their plight,
Turns crime into a virtue, in the fading of the night.

So let us seek the truth, with open heart and mind,
Leave arrogance behind, a better way to find.
For wisdom lights our path, and guides us through the fray,
Living fully in the moment, as we mind today.

Every Way Leads But Astray (Rock)

“The Hollow Parade” is a haunting protest song that explores the collapse of social justice, the manipulation of political systems, and the emotional numbness of a society drifting toward authoritarianism. It unfolds like a slow, surreal march through a world where wealth shields the powerful, truth is commodified, and silence is weaponized.

The song opens with a whispered reflection on how comfort and silence are sold as truth. The first verse exposes the widening gap between rich and poor, portraying justice as wounded and passive. The pre-chorus introduces emotional dissonance—people play along, but something inside is breaking. The chorus delivers the central metaphor: a “hollow parade” where decay is normalized and silence is mistaken for peace.

Subsequent verses dive into:
- Lobbyism and political corruption, where laws are bought and democracy becomes theater.
- The rise of fascist ideologies, masked as patriotism and tradition.
- Digital alienation, where curated pain and social media numb real suffering.
- Disconnected leadership, where those in power speak from marble thrones, untouched by the realities of the street.

The bridge is a spoken-word rupture—a warning that beneath every anthem lies a faultline. The final verse asks whether we will awaken when silence begins to scream, or continue chasing the dream. The outro fades into whispered despair, as the parade marches on—hollow, sorrowful, and louder than ever.

🎤 Lyrics: “The Hollow Parade” (Clean Version)

[Intro – Static Whispers]  
They told us silence was safety.  
They sold us comfort as truth.  
But the wires hum with hunger,  
And the shadows know our youth.

[Verse 1 – The Divide]  
In towers of glass they count their gold,  
While children sleep in cardboard folds.  
The ladder’s pulled, the gate is sealed,  
The poor grow hungry, the rich concealed.  
A whisper spreads: “This is the way…”  
But justice limps and turns away.

[Pre-Chorus – Cracks in the Frame]  
We watch the screen, we play the part,  
But something’s breaking in the heart.

[Chorus – Hollow Parade]  
This is the hollow parade,  
Where truth is dressed in debt and shade.  
March to the rhythm of decay,  
And pray the silence keeps you safe.

[Verse 2 – The Lobby Waltz]  
They dance in halls with velvet ties,  
Trade truth for favors, sell their lies.  
A handshake buys a law or two,  
While we choke on the air they blew.  
The ballot’s ink begins to fade—  
A puppet show, a masquerade.

[Verse 3 – The Hollow Parade]  
Marching boots in polished rows,  
Flags unfurl where hatred grows.  
They chant of pride, of blood, of land,  
While silence grips the outstretched hand.  
The past returns in sharper dress,  
With slogans carved in emptiness.

[Pre-Chorus – Cracks in the Frame]  
We watch the screen, we play the part,  
But something’s breaking in the heart.

[Chorus – Hollow Parade]  
This is the hollow parade,  
Where truth is dressed in debt and shade.  
March to the rhythm of decay,  
And pray the silence keeps you safe.

[Verse 4 – The Disconnect]  
Screens glow bright with curated pain,  
A thousand likes, a dying vein.  
The leaders speak from marble thrones,  
Their words like static, dry as bones.  
They’ve never walked the broken street,  
Where hope and hunger daily meet.

[Bridge – The Faultline]  
There’s a faultline under every anthem,  
A tremor in the polished speech.  
The ground remembers what they forget—  
And one day, it will teach.

[Verse 5 – The Echo Chamber]  
So build your walls and call it peace,  
Let fear and profit never cease.  
But cracks will form, the truth will bleed,  
From every soul they failed to feed.  
And when the silence starts to scream—  
Will you wake, or chase the dream?

[Outro – Dissonant Fade]  
The parade keeps marching,  
But the drums are hollow.  
The flags are stitched with sorrow.  
And the silence…  
is growing louder.

The Hollow Parade

My latest track in the series of psychedelic blues rock fused with dream pop, soul and hip hop.

Lyrics © Señor Barends

Gold doesn’t rust, but it still fades out, 
The weight of the crown drags kingdoms down. 
Every statue cracks when the light runs out, 
And silence builds where the songs were loud. 
You can’t cheat dust, it waits like God, 
Gatherin’ names from the saints and frauds.

The brass gone brown, flags hangin’ low, 
Gold leaf fading on a broken throne. 
No choirs sing, just wind through stone, 
No victors left, no place called home.

I built my name on a pillar of smoke, 
Watched it vanish with the words I spoke. 
Silence louder than the crowd I fed, 
I chased forever till the moment bled.

The earth keeps secrets better than I do, 
Every crown breaks the head it grew.

The stone remembers strength when the hands are gone, 
A beautiful wreck from night till dawn. 
How the mighty have fallen, broken and few, 
What was built for forever is just passing through.

Marble cracks, roots claim the walls, 
Echoes sleep in these empty halls. 
The Caesar dreams beneath the dust, 
His gold gone green, his sword gone rust.

The final blow was never loud, 
Just whispered through the laughing crowd.
Now only echoes understand, 
The cost of thrones carved out of man.

They prayed for grace while the world gave stone, 
Kissed their thrones but died alone. 
Gold doesn’t rust, but it doesn’t stay, 
It just learns to fade in a slower way.

The stone remembers strength when the hands are gone,  
A beautiful wreck from night till dawn.  
How the mighty have fallen, broken and few,  
What was built for forever is just passing through.  
Gold doesn’t rust, but it burns in blue.  

Gold doesn’t rust...  
but neither do you.  
We shine for a moment,
Then fade right through.  
Every empire, every heart,  
It turns quiet at last.
Gold doesn’t rust...  
It just forgets the past.

Gold Doesn’t Rust

Lyrics by BocTon 

Wheels keep turning on an open road,
Chasing sunlight where the rivers flow.
Memories linger like dust in the air,
Every mile takes me somewhere there.

There’s a place to return, when the fire still burns,
Where the night feels kind and the world still turns.
Through the silence, through the years I’ve learned,
There’s always a place  a place to return.

Desert skies and the fading light,
Echoes of laughter in the quiet night.
Every shadow holds a friend I knew,
Every road somehow leads back to you.

There’s a place to return, when the fire still burns,
Where the night feels kind and the world still turns.
Through the silence, through the years I’ve learned,
There’s always a place  a place to return.

I’ve seen the faces, I’ve crossed the lines,
Lost a few dreams and borrowed time.
But somewhere deep the heart still yearns,
For the calm of home  a place to return.

There’s a place to return, when the fire still burns,
Where the night feels kind and the world still turns.
Through the silence, through the years I’ve learned,
There’s always a place  a place to return.

The road goes quiet, the stars begin to rise,
Old songs drifting through the endless skies.
And as the wheels slow down, I finally learn 
I was always heading home…
to a place to return

A place to return

It's my passion to make quality songs using all resources available to me. As a music enthusiast I'm interested in many different genres. 

My music production process is a blend of traditional songwriting and cutting-edge AI. 

It all starts with the human touch: I craft the lyrics and song structures myself, sometimes accompanied by music I recorded or composed.

From these foundational elements, I then bring the songs to life using synthetic voices and musicians. 

A key aspect of my creative flow is "jamming" with what I call "personas", distinct AI voices and styles that offer consistent character and sound. 

My roots in music stretch back to the 1970s, when I was a drummer boy in the local harmony. 

The 1990s marked a pivotal moment with the advent of MIDI, opening up new avenues for instrumental composition. 

The early 2000s saw me dive deep into Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs), and during that time, I also picked up the guitar. 

Since 2024, integrating AI into my workflow has been a transformative experience. 

It has unlocked unprecedented creative possibilities, providing access to a vast array of virtuoso vocalists and instruments, from intricate acoustic guitar arrangements to full orchestras.
