wasn't even trying to get you

Verse 1:
I remember the good old days
back when life was free
when nothing could compare
to summertime and the ocean breeze
back when we swore forever
under that old stone bridge
life was so easy
back when we were just kids.

Tank tops and cutoffs
bonfires and old guitars
Those were good times
some of our best by far.
The sky was the limit
we kept our heads in the clouds
sure of ourselves 
nothing could bring us down.

Chorus:
Why don't we talk about that?
seems time has changed it all.
When we tried hard the harder we'd try
and the further we'd fall.

Verse 2:
I've held on to a few good memories
I keep them locked in my mind.
man I love to revisit them
from time to time.
With all that's gone wrong for us
there were a few worth the keep.
and nothing you can say darlin'
can erase the memories.

Chorus:
Why don't we talk about that?
seems time has changed it all.
When we lived hard the harder we'd live
the harder it is to recall.
Why don't we talk about that,
reminisce  on good times we had.
Instead of blocking out everything
to burry the bad.
(Why don't we talk about that.)

(I say we talk about that)

Bridge:
Now we can forget the history
but the facts will still remain.
there's always gonna be those moments
sitting all alone,
with I miss you's on our brain.
Wishing we could have those days again
wanting every second back.
so let's give in to these feelings
and baby let's talk about that.

Chorus:
Why don't we talk about that?
seems time has changed it all.
When we lived hard the harder we'd live
the harder it is to recall.
Why don't we talk about that,
reminisce  on good times we had.
Instead of blocking out everything
to burry the bad.

X3:
(Why don't we talk about that.)
(I say we talk about that)



Why Don't We Talk About That

Rust & Shadows" is more than just an album, it's a journey through dimly lit bars, empty roads, and lost dreams. Each track carries the weight of time, echoing in the raw guitar slides, moody basslines, and soul-stirring vocals.

From whiskey-soaked regrets to midnight whispers, this collection of slow blues tells stories of love, loss, and the ghosts that never fade. Let the melodies sink in, and let the shadows speak.

Press play, close your eyes, and let the blues take over.

The River Knows My Name

Sunday Morning (Everything’s Dust)


Everything’s dust
Dust and rust 
Destination the lust
Of the man standing 
The last

Ask yourself 
What for 
While closing that door
The door right in front 

Sunday morning 
In need of a blow job
In need of the French bass guitar girl
To say she loves me



Everything’s dust
Dust and rust 
Destination the rest
A motion below are for a man
That you talk right in front the door right in front 

Sunday morning 
In need of a blow job
In need of the French bass guitar girl
To say she loves me


Everything’s dust
Dust and rust 
Destination the lust
Of the man standing 
The last

Ask yourself 
What for 
While closing that door
The door right in front 

Sunday morning 
In need of a blow job
In need of the French bass guitar girl
To say she loves me



Sunday morning 
In need of a blow job
In need of the French bass guitar girl
To say she loves me

Written and produced by © Don Minolta // Minolta Records

I've taken the pictures from my mind
To save them for a rainy day
I feel i have left nothing behind
and i have everything to gain

I know 
You are there to guide me through the day
I know
No one here can take your love away
You give me strength to go on
Give me strength from my pain

Seeing the person that I am
Was not so easliy achieved
But when you came into my life
You showed me who i need to be

I know 
You are there to guide me through the day
I know 
No one here can take your love away
You give me strength to go on
Give me strength from my pain

You give me strength to go on
You give me strength to go on
You give me strength to go on
Give me strength from my pain

Stength From My Pain

Strength From My Pain

This track is a mirror in slow motion.

It invites the listener into a space of stillness—where the voice is not reactive, but reflective. Here, silence is honored as the first language. Each word is held like a breath, shaped by intention, not impulse. "I Reflect Before I Speak" is not just a track—it is a ritual of truth, patience, and presence.

This is not restraint. This is reverence.

I Reflect Before I Speak

✨🤍🙏🔊✨

[Verse]
I've walked the road of shadows, worn by my own shame,
Carried the heavy burden, pointed no one else to blame.
The years I spent in darkness, Lord, I paid a sinner's price,
'Til You reached out in mercy, became my sacrifice.

[Chorus]
Oh, Jesus, how could You take my place?
With all my sins, and all my disgrace.
Your love's the light that breaks my chains,
Thank You, Lord, for enduring my pain.

[Verse 2]
I knelt beside the river, where truth will always flow,
I watched my reflection tremble, as my spirit turned to glow.
The scars upon Your body, the crown that split Your brow,
It humbled this lost sinner, and I’m bowing here right now.

[Chorus]
Oh, Jesus, how could You take my place?
With all my sins, and all my disgrace.
Your love's the light that breaks my chains,
Thank You, Lord, for enduring my pain.

[Bridge]
I know I’ve been forgiven, but my heart still longs to pay,
For the gift You gave so freely, on that dark and dreadful day.
If I can live for You tomorrow, I’ll try to shine Your name,
Let this sinner’s life reflect Your grace through joy and deepest pain.

[Verse 3]
So I’ll sing to the heavens, a prayer you’ll always hear,
For the mercy and the kindness You showed through every tear.
I was lost but now I’m steady, and all because of You,
My Savior, my Redeemer, my old life starts anew.
