Satin sheets still smell like sin

[Verse 1]
Satin sheets still smell like sin
I trace your ghost across my skin
Swore I’d quit this kind of fire
But I still ache to burn again
You left your heat between my thighs
Now even daylight feels like lies

[Pre-Chorus]
I sip regret like morning wine
But I’d still taste you every time

[Chorus]
The aftertaste of you—
Lingers sweet and cruel
Like perfume on my pillow
Or a flame that never cools
No prayer can undo
What we did at half-past two
Still dripping in your shadow
No matter what I do

[Verse 2]
Ash on lips and tangled hair
My conscience waits, but I don’t care
You said my name like it was sin
Now I crave that voice again
I wear this guilt like Sunday lace
But miss the wreckage of your grace

[Bridge]
You were my sweetest damage
A thrill I’d choose again
A phantom in my bloodstream
Disguised as medicine
And every time I surface
You pull me back inside—
A spell I never asked for
But I never tried to fight

[Final Chorus]
The aftertaste of you—
Burns like something true
You branded me in silence
And I broke too soon
Still drunk on all we knew
Still shaking in your bloom
This ache won’t fade with time—
I live in the aftertaste of you

Satin sheets still smell like sin

The Velvet Noose is a darkly sensual descent into the sweet suffocation of desire. It explores the quiet violence of control wrapped in silk — a love that doesn't bind by force, but by choice.

With hypnotic vocals and slow-burning soul textures, the track weaves between seduction and surrender, echoing the haunting elegance of artists like Sade, FKA twigs, and Portishead.

Drawn from the upcoming concept album Sinful Hours, this is a story whispered in shadow — of pleasure dressed as captivity, of surrender that feels like silk.

Soft. Slow. And far too beautiful to escape.

The Velvet Noose

(Verse 1)
You glide in like a hush of sin
Eyes like velvet, spiked with gin
I swore I’d never play this game
But your voice still calls my name

You touch like smoke, your voice is wine
Each word unwinds along my spine
I should’ve fled when skies turned grey
But your kiss made me choose to stay

(Pre-Chorus)
I feel the slip, I feel the snare
A velvet trap, too rich to bear


(Chorus)
This velvet noose, it wraps so tight
Soft as a kiss, sharp as a bite
I wear it like a lover’s mark
A ribbon tied around the dark
It doesn’t choke — it makes me choose
And still, I lean into the noose


(Verse 2)
You write your name beneath my skin
Not with ink, but with your sin
I dance to songs you never sang
In rooms where all the mirrors hang

You say I'm free — but not to leave
You leave the cage unlocked to tease
I linger where the danger blooms
Perfume and ropes in shadowed rooms

(Pre-Chorus)
It’s not a cage, it’s just a pose
A deadly gift in black and rose


(Chorus)
This velvet noose, it wraps so tight
Soft as a kiss, sharp as a bite
I wear it like a lover’s mark
A ribbon tied around the dark
It doesn’t choke — it makes me choose
And still, I lean into the noose


(Bridge)
I could scream, but I sigh
I could flee, but I lie
Still and warm against the blade
In the bed that you’ve unmade

(Final Chorus)
This velvet noose, you stitched with grace
It holds me close, it hides your face
I breathe you in, I lose my name
A willing pawn in your sweet game
And even when I see the truth—
I worship in the velvet noose


(Outro)
Soft... slow... surrender’s hue...
The noose I tied... was made by you.






The Velvet Noose

“Voltage in My Veins” is not a love song.
It’s a current — erotic, electric, and inescapable.

Built on a slow, pulsing rhythm and breath-heavy vocals, this track turns desire into danger. It’s about the moment before the kiss — the pause, the tension, the surrender. She doesn’t ask. She consumes.

You touch her, you descend.
You burn in her name.
There’s voltage in her veins.

Voltage in My Veins

---

[Intro – whispered]
You want soft?
Then don’t touch me.
There’s voltage in my veins
and your name… is the fuse.


---

[Verse 1]
I don’t knock, I enter slow
Like breath beneath your collarbone
You say “not now,” but part your lips
Your protest dies between my hips


---

[Pre-Chorus]
You flinch, but don’t step back
You say “don’t,” but you react
I hum your name behind my teeth
You're drowning, and you beg for deep


---

[Chorus]
There’s voltage in my veins
I don’t kiss, I claim
You touch me, you descend
No mercy in the end
I spark, I pull, I taste your blood
You moan, then melt, then break the chain
There’s voltage in my veins


---

[Verse 2]
You say it hurts but hold me close
You want the poison, not the rose
I press the pulse beneath your jaw
You shake like prayer, like breaking law


---

[Final Chorus]
There’s voltage in my veins
I don’t kiss, I claim
You touch me, you descend
No mercy in the end
I spark, I pull, I taste your blood
You moan, then melt, then break the chain
There’s voltage in my veins


---

[Outro – flüsternd]
You lit the match
I held the flame
Now you burn
Inside my name

Voltage in My Veins

Things That Matter

The final song, the unspoken words.
“Love Left on the Table” is that sigh at the end of it all —
a slow-burning blues confession for the love that stayed unclaimed.
No dramatic goodbye, no slammed doors. Just silence… and a chair left pulled out.

Woven with smoky guitar licks and quiet heartbreak,
this bonus track closes the journey with grace,
reminding us that sometimes the truest stories are the ones that never found their ending.

This is blues at its most vulnerable.
This is what’s left behind.

Love Left on the Table (Bonus Track)

[Verse 1]
You came ‘round in the morning like you didn’t disappear
Left lipstick on the counter and regret in my mirror
You say, “It’s complicated,” like that’s news to me
But I’ve been solving puzzles since you lost your key

[Pre-Chorus]
I poured my love in your half-empty glass
Watched you sip it slow, then let it pass
You said you’re scared to feel too much
So why’d you come back for that midnight touch?

[Chorus]
I can’t keep loving with half a heart
While you keep pulling mine apart
You're in, then gone, like a ghost at dark
Boy, I need a flame, not just a spark
If you can't stay, then don't even start—
I ain't playing house with half a heart

[Verse 2]
Your records still spin like nothing’s wrong
But the silence between the songs is long
You wear that charm like it don’t cost a thing
But darling, lies ain't gold, they just glitter and sting

[Pre-Chorus]
Told your mama I was just a phase
She said I deserved a better place
You keep your truth behind your smile
But I’ve been wise to that for a while

[Chorus]
I can’t keep loving with half a heart
While you keep pulling mine apart
You're in, then gone, like a ghost at dark
Boy, I need a flame, not just a spark
If you can't stay, then don't even start—
I ain't playing house with half a heart

[Bridge – spoken/sung style]
I’d rather dance alone in my red suede shoes
Than share my bed with your shifting moods
Don’t need your maybe, I want your more
But I ain’t beggin’ like I did before

[Final Chorus – soft at first, builds up]
No, I can’t keep loving with half a heart
You’re a haunted tune in a broken chart
I’m done with the guessing, done with the art
Of holding together what falls apart
So take your silence, take your part—
And leave me whole, with my full heart

Half a heart

Love Like Smoke | War Rock Ballad (Timeless Love Story)

Woke up this mooorninnnn’, sun refused to shine,
Yeah, my baby gone, and the fault was mine.
Coffee’s cold, guitar’s outta tune,
Lonely rhythm playin’ in a dusty room.

I got rust on my sooooouuuul, cracks in my shoes,
Carryin’ the weigghhht of them midnight blues.
Love done left me, time don’t choose,
I keep singin’, singin’ these highway blues.

The radio’s hummin’ some old 45,
Every note remind me, she kept me alive.
Ashtray’s full, but my heart still burns,
Ain’t no road back, just lessons learned.

I got rust on my sooooouuuul, cracks in my shoes,
Carryin’ the weigghhht of them midnight blues.
Love done left me, time don’t choose,
I keep singin’, singin’ these highway blues.

Lord, the years roll heavy,
Like a freight train down the line.
Dreams turn to ashes,
But the blues still keep me alive.

My hands are blistered, strings cut deep,
Every note’s a secret I couldn’t keep.
If tomorrow don’t find me, at least I know,
The blues took my pain, but they saved my soul.

"But Lord… these blues, they been heavy on me."

"Mmm… set him free…"

"Rust on my soul, cracks in my shoes,
Still I walk with faith, and I pay my dues."

"Oh, carry him through… hallelujah!"

"Took my sorrow, turned it into song…
Now I know, Lord, I’m where I belong."

"Where he belong! / Hallelujah strong!"

"Rust on my soul… but the Spirit keeps me true."

I got rust on my sooooouuuul, cracks in my shoes,
Carryin’ the weigghhht of them midnight blues.
Love done left me, time don’t choose,
I keep singin’, singin’ these highway blues.

Rust on My Soul

Call It Love

My songs often dwell on the possible dark futures, but today’s world also offers abundant reasons for hope.  Medical innovation is saving lives, renewable energy is reshaping economies, endangered species are recovering, and ordinary people continue to show extraordinary kindness.  These developments remind us that progress and empathy are not only possible but already happening—offering a real counterpoint to despair and a foundation on which a more hopeful future can grow.

“Good News” is a chilled and positive upbeat jazz/r’n’b celebration of human progress and everyday kindness, turning real-world advances into a musical sunrise of hope.  Images of solar fields, children laughing by restored rivers, and tigers roaming recovering forests highlight tangible environmental and social achievements, while the chorus—“hope is on the move, the world keeps proving what people can do”—underscores the power of collective action and small acts of love.  The message of the song is that despite the world’s troubles, compassion, innovation and resilience are steadily creating a better future.


Good News: A Snapshot of Positive Change Around the World

Global Poverty Decline – 
Though challenges remain, the share of people living in extreme poverty has fallen dramatically over the past three decades, and targeted microfinance and education programs continue to reduce inequality in many regions.

Advances in Gender Equality – 
More girls are completing secondary school worldwide than at any point in history, and women’s participation in politics and business leadership is steadily rising.

Grassroots Peace Efforts – 
Local mediation projects from Colombia to Kenya show how communities can defuse conflict and build lasting peace from the ground up.

5. Acts of Everyday Kindness
Beyond statistics, countless stories of human generosity surface each day: neighbors organizing food drives after disasters, volunteers tutoring children in underserved areas, and individuals quietly caring for the elderly or marginalized.  These unsung acts knit societies together and prove that compassion remains a powerful force.
