Unkind 

hear my fable of past time
pull up close eyes wide
spend time in the maze of a dark mind
that escaped from a past so unkind
I use to hang out at night with the aimless
called them friends of mine
trouble makers, wild and wasted
too dumb for the art of real crime

John got on a train for his boomtown
James ended his days in jail
Peter wanted to make his dear mom proud
never ended the chase for his own tail
these days I count myself lucky
no need for a rabbits paw
chosen and beloved by an angel
no sense to be made of what I saw

these days spent by an ocean
warmed by sunny skies
past time all a blur like illusion
comes back with the shills of a gulls cry

I dream lyrics and cosine 
I walk through the forest blind
you pencil the points of a timeline
connects with a past so unkind
Jesus, send me the blueprint
grand scope of your one design
consider the facts of my own sin
entwined with the cycles of time 

these days I count myself lucky
no need for a rabbits paw
chosen and beloved by an angel
no sense to be made of what I saw
hear my fable of past time
pull up close eyes wide
spend time in the maze of a dark mind
that escaped from a past so unkind

Have a listen to my album "Curiosities Of Outsider Art" (Sept 2025). Quirky and interesting tunes.
Thank you for listening!

I try to write with rich lyrical details and self-deprecating humor about the human condition. Plus, that unique Shade Structure sound!  It sounds best with headphones. Thanks for any comments, reposts or likes.

# Power Of Music :)

Chicago-based inspired TemporalWave/Retrowave/Synth music from Dave Pasciuto, Takaton, Bob Reiner, and Steven Cisek.

Musicien depuis l’âge de 13 ans, je n’ai jamais cessé d’être amoureux de la musique.
J’ai participé à un concours international francophone dans les années 80.
Par la suite, j’ai créé le groupe Top-Sonart qui a été en nomination deux fois à l’Adisq,et qui a pris fin en 1987.
J’ai ensuite écrit plusieurs chansons et musiques qui n’ont jamais joué nulle part. C’est pourquoi je les partage maintenant avec la planète par Soundcloud.
Bonne écoute!

Musician since the age of 13, I have never stopped being passionate about music.
I participated in an international Francophone competition in the 80s.
Subsequently, I created the band Top-Sonart who was nominated two times at l’Adisq and which ended in 1987.
I then wrote several songs and music pieces that never played anywhere. That's why I now share them with the planet through Soundcloud.
Enjoy.
