Awesome electronic punk vibe, and intense lyrics!  Amazing tune man!

Hell is Forever

Make Believe is a slow-burning, emotionally charged acoustic song that captures the loneliness of giving everything and still feeling unseen. Dynamic cello performances underscore each lyrical shift, mirroring the inner conflict at the heart of the song. Flute and acoustic guitar add lightness to the darker tones, while layered vocals give it intimacy.

Make believe

I might not know who you are
Never learned to say your name
Still, I whisper to the stars
Words my heart can't even frame

Silent steps on hollow ground
Walking roads that won’t lead back
Lost in echoes all around 
Vivid dreams fade into black

All you said was loud and clear
I thought I’d run or disappear
Find a magic spot where I don’t feel so small
We’re just strangers after all

Never ask, always give
Love was nothing but an act of make-believe

Fed with crumbs, and washed in tears (wash away my tears)
Standing in the wings, it's clear (why am I still here?)
Even though my heart and arms were open wide
You were never by my side

Fill in blanks, when you need
I don't fit into this role assigned to me

Every word, a clever line
And every touch, a human need
You were  stitching up your wounds
While mine were left alone to bleed

Feel the pain, let it heal
Fake a smile, just for a while, until it’s real

Turn the page, burn the scene
Cast another pup to play your movie dream

Make Believe

'Headlines and Other Distractions' a bright Jazz Fusion track inspired by the ceaseless noise and distraction on what is presented to us as "news". Lies, propaganda and spin.

Tony King
1972-2025
For many years Tony ran the Chambers open mic night in Folkestone Kent. He was a top bloke, kind and supportive to each and every performer. As an example, the audio at the end of this track is taken from a video of me having just finished playing one of my songs. You can hear, at the time I couldnt as I was at the other side of the room, how encouraging Tony was, always complimentary. Tony loved life, was a happy chappie and kept himself extremely fit. He swam the channel, the sea from England to France some 21 miles on more than one occasion. Guess this proves we never know what life has in store for us even if we look after our health. Tony will be deeply missed not only by his loving family but those of us that got to know him through his wonderful open mic nights.  

Lyrics.
say goodbye to a kind hearted man
i didnt know him well but it was easy to tell.
a warm smile and grin youd be welcomed on in
to his music show a gentle hand to guide you on through

theres no rythme or reason to soon to be leaving
so young to get taken hearts left aching
theres no rythme or reason to soon to be leaving
so young to be taken hearts left breaking...in two.

say farewell to a father a father and a friend
he swam 21 miles thought what the hell ill do it again.
these things are damn hard to understand
but you have to try to recall the joyus of times.

theres no rythme or reason to soon to be leaving
so young to get taken hearts left aching
theres no rythme or reason to soon to be leaving
so young to be taken hearts left breaking...in two.

theres no rythme or reason

LYRIC

Where once I found delight
Reached out and held it tight
I nod in passing
Nothing here is lasting
Let cherry blossoms fall

They will return next spring
That’s the important thing
Falling from each limb
And though I’m not there to see them
They will still be seen
And though I’m not there to join you
Please raise a cup or two for me

Where once the world spun round
But we could hold our ground
Now we go whirling
Tumbling and twirling
No railing we can grasp 
We hear others calling
Fumbling and falling
Every breath a gasp
But we can’t stop for someone else 
We have to save ourselves

Where once time trickled by
Now it goes streaming/speeding by
And we’re swept away….




where once...

Love Song

All rights reserved 9/25/2025

We used to know how to read a room
Knew exactly what to say…
Now we’re divin in too deep
Never losing any sleep
in the bed we made

We used to take the time 
To see another point of view 
Now we toe another line
Like a party to a crime
In the bed we made…

Driving home
so alone
the streets on fire
Winding down
to the sound
it seems so dire

Why did you have to come around
as if you’ve made some kind of grade
My ears don't want to hear 
Now would you please just disappear
in the bed we made

Driving home
so alone
the streets on fire
Winding down
to the sound
it seems so dire

Hell is Forever
