wake up, grab my hand we’re leaving for the desert now
it’s not understood, it doesn’t have to be planned
go wake up the kids I had a real vivid dream just now, so pack up your things, and hurry up, get the kids

it was a real vivid dream
so we’re driving for the desert
there’s no bathroom breaks
and there’s no time to waste

when we shoot off into the desert sky
when we and the red sun mold into one

so me me and my family, we’re now in this ship
it’s an alien ship
it’s like no one’s ever seen
I tell them wake up its not a dream
so you gotta open your mind, you gotta believe
so you finally get what I mean

when we shoot off into the outer space
when we and the red sun mold into one

IT’S US OR THEM
No golden rule
Do they play by
The coders are their fools
Super Smart AI
Takin’ over lives
By takin’ over livelihoods
Time is of the essence
For bad or good

CHORUS
It’s us or them
Us or them
It’s us or them
Robots or men

It’s us or them
Us or them
It’s us or them
Us or them
It’s us or them
Us or them
Robots OR Men.

Washington to Beijing
The race has begun
Whoever wins the war
Will be the golden one
Cheaper, better, faster
The name of the game
Should humans survive
This world won’t be the same

CHORUS
It’s us or them
Us or them
It’s us or them
Robots or men

From the plumber to the lawyer
Most jobs will end, oh and
Universal Basic Income
Will not be your friend, no-no
‘Cuz when it comes from the government
They expect a return
Your beloved flag
They are willing to burn, yeah

TAG
It’s us or them
Us or them
It’s us or them
Us or them
It’s us or them
Us or them
Oh, it’s us or them:
Robots OR Men.

IT’S US OR THEM

This track is the second track from my ep CHEMICAL. 120 BPM. 6m6s. The intro is long, but bear with it. It leads into a terrifyingly flashy and groovy tune. This was heavily influenced by Led Zeppelin and punk bands such as Primal Scream. CHEMICAL Link in Bio!

THERE IS LOVE

Some Positive Thought

Let Lovers Rule!
Let all lovers rule the world
so that we will get a world without hate and war
and only sympathy is the law
that's my dream of a love regime

In my fantasy a world of love is what we need

Hate, violence, fear, guilt it all will be banned
no leaders who have the country in their bloody hand
with tolerance we respect gender, age, nation
with love as guide money looses its station

It's my dream you know what I mean

Let all lovers rule the world
no more alpha males with their evil will
no tyrants who let kill
with a thirst they can never fill
but churches for all or none at all
teach love, compassion and to forgive

In my dream you know what I mean

It's my fantasy, no me but we
take my hand

In a world filled with hope there's no need to fight
replace hate with understanding, all unite
guided by love, we don't let each other fall
offering kindness and support for and from all

It's my dream come on and help me!

Let all lovers rule the world
so that we will get a world without hate and war
and only sympathy is the law
that's my dream of a love regime

Let Lovers Rule

My anti-AI rant song ... I wrote this shortly after a friend of mine proudly told me how she'd created a song using AI which she had fed a sample of her voice. This gal doesn't sing. She sent me the YouTube link to the song and obviously wanted my feedback.

That artificiale
You call a song
Bit and bytes pretending
That thing made by machine so perfectly
Much more than your bidding
I won't buy it
Just because you can.

Just because we can
Don't mean that we should
Just let's dig all the way down
Those things can't eat
Need no sleep
Have no cares at all

Don't tell me you're proud
And make a gake fool of ypurself
Things to do your bidding
I hope you made that clear
Take all from the past
For a future rearrange
Let the things make everything
Fake the only name
That's fair

Just because we can
Don't mean that we should
Just let's dig all the way down
Those things can't eat
Need no sleep
Have no cares at all

Digging a grave
For the human made
the work of our hearts
The work of our minds
Digging a grave
For the emanescent
Voices of ourselves

Digging a Grave

Breakthrough

Took a bigger pill
Strong enough to kill
Everything I feel
That’s not worth fighting

Every single screen
Tells me what we need
But I keep having dreams
Where I quit trying

You should choose yourself
I could save my health
While they steal our wealth
But we’re still dying

I am tired of the fake news
It's the reason I don't call you
And you said that I'm woke
‘cause I don't laugh at your jokes

I can’t promise it won't hurt you
But if you give me your hand
We’ll make a stand
Where blood began
To break through

Unprecedented times
Existential crimes
Everyone is lying
But no one’s buying

Look up at the stars
While everybody starves
They are much too far
But at least they're free

I am tired of the fake news
It's the reason I don't call you
And you said that I'm woke
‘cause I don't laugh at your jokes

I can’t promise it won't hurt you
But if you give me your hand
We’ll make a stand
Where blood began
We’ll make our stand
With bloody hands
To break through

Write a bitter will
Secret up until
Every one of us
Is lost in writing

Spirits Are Dancing (2025) Remastered

Esta canción está basada en un riff de bajo que hizo mi hijo Adrián. En principio su destino era la banda que teníamos "Eléctrica Azul" y se ensayó pero no llego a generarse completamente. La retomé y compuse toda la instrumental. En cuanto a las voces, éstas son samples de uso gratuito que he generado para que se acoplaran bien al tempo y melodía de la canción. 
Para las guitarras he usado mi Duesenberg Palomo Red Sparkle.
Resto de instumentos con plugins. 
Daw: Cubase 14 Pro.
Masterizado con Izotope Ozone 11 Standard.
Gracias por escuchar.

In English:
This song is based on a bass riff my son Adrián wrote. It was originally intended for our band, "Eléctrica Azul," and it was rehearsed but never fully produced. I reworked it and composed the entire instrumental. As for the vocals, these are free samples I generated to fit the song's tempo and melody.
For the guitars, I used my Duesenberg Paloma Red Sparkle.
The rest of the instruments are plugins.
Daw: Cubase 14 Pro.

Thanks for listening.

THEY DON’T WANT YOU TO KNOW
Where you came from
What’s in your name
How to grow a garden
Such a sinful shame
Won’t find it in your schoolbooks
History and Science
The truth has been cooked
To keep you in compliance

CHORUS
They don’t want you to know
They don’t want you to know
They don’t want you to grow
They don’t want you to know, whoa

[Music]

How money works
How to get ahead
How to heal your body
Rid demons from your head
Won’t find it in the library
Lookin’ high and low
Just pray to Mother Mary
Sit back, enjoy the show, no

They don’t want you to know
They don’t want you to know
They don’t want you to grow
They don’t want you to, want you to, want you to know

[Music]

Scroll through the web
The discrepancies
Like trying to navigate
The Seven Seas
Won’t find it in the Bible
If you don’t bear the light
Just who’s your greatest rival
Just who to fight

They don’t want you to know
They don’t want you to know
‘Cuz they don’t want you to grow
They don’t want you to, want you to, want you to know..

[Music]

THEY DON’T WANT YOU TO KNOW

So nice that my longtime collaborator friend @dough-factory has returned to SoundCloud after a break of a couple years! This is our first track working together since then and it came together in a really cool way. I was inspired by Ryan's electronic drums and bass to lay down some rhythm guitar as well as a few synth leads. Then he came up with some awesome lyrics/vocals that I think captures the vibe of this piece quite well.

Keep an eye out for more from us, we are thinking of pulling together a whole album or EP over the coming months.

Jana Bratislava - Always on your side
Lyrics 

まるで閉ざされた檻の中
いつか抜け出せるように
たとえ何もかも消えるなら
あとで思い出せるように

それは懐かしい日々だった
誰も傷つけないで
やっとあと少し届くかな
星がゆっくり見えた

all day all night baby
always on your side baby
all day all night
is that true? is that true? baby

あの日すれ違う時の中
まるで確かめるように
やっとあと少し届きそう
星がゆっくり見えた

all day all night baby
always on your side baby
all day all night
is that true? is that true? baby

Always on your side

Way overdue for something new but I've been living in exile without the usual, albeit modest, setup I'm used to. So this might be pretty rough. And it's full of the usual horror at political realities and way full of schmaltzy velveeta. 

Guitarist note:  I don't have amps at present and was struggling to find a decent direct sound. There is a *free* VST plugin by Neural Amp DSP and online libraries of tone prints, also free, that came to the rescue. Highly recommended.

it's alright for you as long as it's alright
you don't mind what they do in the broad daylight

it never could be you

but you don't see the way you're blinded
they'll never drag you down to the places meant for those

do you feel the color of your soul
when you live with love suspended hiding in a hole
the moment is yours but you don't believe 
you won't believe what lies there ripening 
growing in your mind without you knowing

now it could be you

and as you feel the weight of the binding
you know they're dragging you down to the places meant for those

to liberate the light of every heart and mind
you can say it never paying any price

there's a little part of everyone that knows 
we're only playing separate lives 
till true faith arrives

if there's every gonna be a change 
let it start right here

you know it could be you

It Could Be You

So ~ I wasn't really intending on writing / recording another new song at the moment since I'm attempting to finish a number of other songs for my current project ~~but This One came to me one day in July & I felt compelled & decided to kind of drop everything  & record it, as I was hearing it as the possible song I may tag on as the Final Song of my new project once it is complete to close it out ~~
Would Love to hear any thoughts on it at all ! :-)

THE LAVENDER

Hello everyone,
this is the second part – or rather, another chapter – of my musical theater project.
For this song, I’m lucky enough to be joined by Sarah Paradise-Brown, whose incredible voice gives this piece a very special depth.

"Blood" is a song about a seemingly hopeless love between a woman and a vampire. It tells a story of longing, danger, and the bittersweet realization that this love can never be fulfilled. Between attraction and pain, both struggle with the desire that binds them and the necessity of letting go so they won’t destroy each other. 



Blood

Your scent is moonlight on the wind
A promise wrapped in trembling skin
I hold you close, but not too near
For what I want is what you fear

You breathe like fire beneath restraint
Your touch is warm, your world is faint
And though your lips could steal my soul
I’d give you all, and not feel cold

You shine where I can never go
But still I linger in your glow
If love means letting go of fire
Then let us rise above desire

Blood is calling from below
Blood is more than I should know
Blood would turn the night to me
But love… wants more than destiny
Blood is silence wrapped in sound
But love is where we won’t be bound

I've tasted death in every shade
But nothing made me feel this way
You made the world turn soft and slow
And showed me things I’ll never know

You gave me truth without disguise
A world of pain beneath your eyes
But I can't live with what you are
Even love can’t cross that scar

I want you…
I know...
I need you…
But we can’t...
So hold me once, then let me go
Don’t drink the love we’ve come to know

Blood is beating like a drum
Blood is where we both came from
Blood could bind me to your name
But love is not a thing to tame
Blood may sing, may plead, may flood…
But not tonight, not with blood

If I must live without your flame
Then I will carry still your name
If I must walk into the day
I’ll dream you home some other way
Some love survives, 
survives in broken light
But not tonight…

Not with blood!

Blood

No one knows what they’re doing
Don’t believe everything you think
Some things aren’t worth pursuing
Don’t believe everything you think
Feelings aren’t facts
They’re weapons of mass distraction
Holding on won’t change the past
You can win the game by not playing
Complaining won’t change the past
You can win the game by not playing
Don’t believe everything you think
No one knows what they’re doing
Don’t believe everything you think
Some things aren’t worth pursuing
Don’t believe everything you think
If everything around you is darkness, you may be the light
If everything around you is darkness, you may be the light
If everything around you is darkness, you may be the light

Don't Believe Everything You Think
