The season of Thanksgiving (already enjoyed in Canada)is upon the US. And Christmas approaching,right on the heels of these family gatherings. In the midst of it all, wars are ongoing, and all the while hatred soars. What's a helpful message in the midst of all that? Hold On (To Someone)...onto someone, not something. Time to share some hugs.
Hold On (to someone)

    The best prediction for the future is the past
    For the further back you look
    The further forward that you see
    Carpe diem … to seize the day, no need to pray
    Far beyond the pale, a little faith will conquer all your fears
    Make love with your words before the end
    For the further back you look
    The further forward you will see
    I’ve seen… the end
    When all… that is left
    I’ve seen…the end
    When all... that is left
    Is to hold… onto someone
    (Lead Break)
    The best prediction for the future is the past
    For the further back you look
    The further forward that you see
    I’ve seen…the end
    When all that is left
    Is to hold onto someone
    Hold onto someone

lyrics:
Like we used to
---------------
We don't play in gigs like we used to
We don't play in the streets like we used to
We don't hang out in squares like we used to
and we don't drink ice cold beers like we used to

and now we grew up, became strangers we fell on trap 
and the days are not the same, like we used to...used to

We don't jam at all, like we used to
we don't grill outside the yard, like we used to
we don't party as friends like we used to
we don't say hello like we used to....used to

and now egos stood up, became cold and all that crap
and the years are not the same, like we used to...used to!

Like We Used To

David Z. a.k.a. @BlackMarketBrains and I previously collaborated on one other track that I have posted to my page (After the Bomb), and a handful of tracks that he has posted to his page (3 different remixes of a work in progress from me called Metallic, and a response to my open collab, Social Fabric)...

I'm happy to share this new one that I developed based on an open collab of his called Doc Avalanche Goes BeatBeatBeat! https://soundcloud.com/blackmarketbrains/doc-avalanche-goes-beatbeatbeat-open-collab

I love the original title but chose to simplify it a little bit. 

Hopefully more to come from the two of us!

Lyrics:

The sun is shining
Warms body and heart
So many smiling faces
Spring is about to start..

This could be a perfect day
Lets spread som love on the way
Look at all the happy people
And the sun in the sky..

Lalalalala.....

The birds are singing
The grass is becoming green
Trees grow leaves
There will be flowers and bees..

This could be a perfect day
Lets spread some love on the way
Look at all the happy people
And the sun in the sky..

Lalalalala...

Oh, this could be a perfect day
Lets spread some love on the way
Look at all the happy people
And the sun in the sky..

Lalalalala...

People fall in love again
Its easier to make a friend
We are happier
Winter is at the end..

This could be a perfect day
Lets spread some love on the way
Look at all the happy people
And the sun in the sky..

Lalalalala...

Falling down

Winter's Call - Come Undone (Judas Cover)

There’s a river winding softly through a city lined with gold
Where the Queensland nights hold stories that the south has never told
From the verandahs dripping history to the skyline’s gentle glow
There’s a magic in the evening that only Brisbane seems to know

Chase the sunset out in Toowong, hit the Valley after dark
Where the jazz clubs and the wine bars leave a velvet-smooth remark
Every laneway has a secret, every corner’s got a taste
Yeah, we move with quiet rhythm — never hurry, never waste

Brisbane does it better, baby
With a style that’s all our own
Brisbane does it better, maybe
That’s why I’m never leavin’ home

From the river to the skyline
Every moment feels just right
Yeah, Brisbane does it better
Especially at night
Brisbane does it better

You can keep your Sydney Harbour, keep your Melbourne coffee dreams,
We’ve got subtropical sunsets with an evergreen esteem
There’s a class beneath the casual, a little fire in the breeze
We wrote the rules on how to live — then rewrote them with ease

Some towns try too hard to charm you
Some got nothin’ left to prove
But Brisbane just wraps around you
With that warm, sophisticated groove

When the Story Bridge is glowing
And the night is young and free
There’s no other place I’m goin’
This town's where I'm meant to be

From the Powerhouse in twilight to the lights on Eagle Street
From New Farm mornings waking slow to nights that feel complete
We got heritage and progress walkin’ hand in hand as one
We’re the city built for everything — but we make it look like fun

Brisbane does it better, baby
With a style that’s all our own
Brisbane does it better, maybe
That’s why I’m never leavin’ home

From the river to the skyline
Every moment feels just right
Yeah, Brisbane does it better
Especially at night

Brisbane does it better, darling
When the jacarandas bloom
Brisbane does it better, callin’
Every heart back to this room

We’re the secret that the world
Is only startin’ to discover
Yeah, Brisbane does it better
And I’m Brisbane’s faithful lover

(Brisbane… Brisbane…)
Does it better every time.
(Brisbane… Brisbane…)
This sophisticated city's mine
Brisbane does it better
Brisbane does it better
Yeah, Brisbane does it better tonight

Tommy O'Grady - Brisbane Does It Better (Live)

“The Working Man’s Song” by CB-Band and written by Michael McCune is a modern rock anthem with the heart and fire of late-’80s and early-’90s chart busters. Driven by soaring lead-guitar licks and a tight, hard-hitting rhythm section, the track captures the bold spirit of classic rock while delivering a fresh, high-energy modern punch.
A deep, gritty lead vocal anchors the song, cutting through the mix with character and attitude. Layered vocal harmonies add depth and power, while the well-placed acoustic guitar sections offer dynamic contrast and warmth. The drummer keeps everything locked in with rock-solid grooves, then steps into the spotlight with explosive fills during the song’s signature tight breaks giving the track a live-arena feel.
“The Working Man’s Song” showcases CB-Band at full force: seasoned musicianship, electrifying guitar work, and a production style that honors the golden era of rock while pushing it forward.
This debut release drops before Christmas 2025, accompanied by the B-side “It's Friday-Night”. Both tracks will premiere exclusively on YouTube.com @ Mikes Mountain Adventures before releasing on wider platforms.
CB-Band is here to remind listeners that real rock never went away it just needed a reason to roar again.
