Vance Joy - Riptide

Rage. Movement. Power in the chaos.
This song is the sound of the fight inside. It captures what it feels like when your body is unpredictable — a thunderstorm of pain, nausea, fatigue, and frustration, all crashing without warning.
But this isn’t just about losing control — it’s about reclaiming your voice inside the mess.
It’s loud. It’s intense. And it’s real.
Because sometimes your body is a storm.
And sometimes... so are you.

My Body’s a Storm

I’m A Lover Not A Fighter

V1.
Sometimes lips get loose with liquor
We said some things we didn’t mean
But the reaction that you gave me
Ain’t one I’ve ever seen
I’m not sure what tripped your trigger
But I know I ain’t that guy
You’re gonna have to spend the night time
Just wondering why

Chorus
I ain’t here for your all-nighter
I’m a lover not a fighter
And by morning you’ll be quieter
You’ve just had too much to drink
Now I’m laying down alone
You’re a little too far gone
To make sense of what I’m saying
So I’ll give you time to think
When you’re mad …
You’re one hell of a gas lighter
And I’m a lover not a fighter

V2
When I walked away
You screamed don’t you even care.
But if you knew me like I know me
You’d know I don’t fight fair
It’s Cos I care much more about you
Than I care about a “win”
And losing you…
… Would be a sin.

Chorus
I ain’t here for your all-nighter
I’m a lover not a fighter
And by morning you’ll be quieter
You’ve just had too much to drink
Now I’m laying down alone
You’re a little too far gone
To make sense of what I’m saying
So I’ll give you time to think
When you’re mad …
You’re one hell of a gas lighter
And I’m a lover not a fighter

Bridge
I’ll always trade my silence
Instead of going toe to toe
‘Cos you never know how far it’s gonna go

Chorus
I ain’t here for your all-nighter
I’m a lover not a fighter
And by morning you’ll be quieter
You’ve just had too much to drink
Now I’m laying down alone
You’re a little too far gone
To make sense of what I’m saying
So I’ll give you time to think
When you’re mad …
You’re one hell of a gas lighter
And I’m a lover not a fighter

When you’re mad …
You’re one hell of a gas lighter
And I’m a lover not a fighter

I’m a lover not a fighter





I'm A Lover Not A Fighter (2025)

Torn Between the Night

The Four Horses is a prophetic folk epic by Jupiter Morrow, tracing the rise and fall of mankind through the Four Industrial Revolutions — each one a rider in disguise.
From steam to silicon, from gospel to algorithm, humanity mistook invention for redemption, until the Pale Horse rode and silence followed.

But out of that silence come these songs — laments, prayers, and flickers of mercy still burning in the ruins.
They are not songs of despair, but of remembrance: the voice of those who saw the fire fall and still believed in light.

“We built the light that burned our days,
And still we kneel, and still we pray.”

This album is both warning and benediction — a cinematic hymnbook for the last age of men, and the dawn that follows.

The Everlasting Gospel

Silverback Democracy is a sharp, sardonic commentary on how modern society rewards arrogance over integrity.

It calls out the way loud egos rise while empathy gets sidelined not because the system’s broken, but because it’s designed that way. 

The lyrics walk the listener through that brutal logic: we cheer the clowns, worship confidence, and label noise as truth.

It’s not an angry protest it’s exasperation sung with a smirk.

The narrator isn’t screaming for change, they’re holding up a mirror and saying, “Look. This is us. This is how we work.”


[Verse 1]
The system’s fine it’s meant to be,
Loudmouths win, not empathy.
Egos climb, the kind step down,
The wise ones run from the crown.

[Chorus]
Silverback democracy,
Confidence beats honesty.
We follow noise, not clarity,
It’s working, perfectly.

[Verse 2]
The calm stay quiet, the cruel stay loud,
The stage is set, we love a crowd.
We don’t want truth, we want a show,
We built this world, we let it grow.

[Verse 3]
You clap for clowns, you call them kings,
You cheer the loudest, emptiest things.
They shout, you bow, you think it’s true
It’s madness, through and through.

[Bridge]
Power burns, the sane step back,
Good hearts don’t survive the pack.

[Final Chorus]
Silverback democracy,
It’s not broke it’s policy.
We follow noise, not clarity,
It’s working, perfectly.

[Outro ]
It’s working, perfectly...
Yeah, perfectly.

Tilted Halo

"Genesis Folk: Songs From the First Dawn" is a sweeping acoustic journey through the earliest stories ever told—retold with the warmth, grit, and humanity of classic folk music. Each track transforms ancient scripture into living song, weaving biblical events with the timeless sound of storytelling ballads, rustic melodies, and heartfelt vocal lines.

From the beauty of Eden to the heartbreak of the Fall… from brotherly tragedy to the long forgotten generations between Adam and Noah… each song brings the Scriptures to life in a way that feels both deeply ancient and strikingly modern.

Rooted in reverence yet rich with folk tradition, this album captures the emotional core of Genesis: creation, innocence, rebellion, loss, redemption, legacy, and hope. You’ll hear the dust of the early world, the breath of God, the ache of exile, and the resilience of humanity carried across strings and voice.

Whether you’re a lover of Scripture, a fan of folk storytelling, or simply someone who appreciates music that speaks to the soul, "Genesis Folk: Songs From the First Dawn" invites you to sit by the fire, close your eyes, and step into the oldest stories ever told.

Genesis 3: The Fall

A mid-tempo pop-rap track about claiming one’s voice and stepping into self-expression. Lyrics focus on empowerment, defiance, and the journey from silence to confident proclamation. Punchy drums, warm driving bass, electric guitars, ambient synths, and layered vocals alternate between rap verses and soaring sung choruses, creating an intense, cinematic atmosphere that emphasizes personal liberation.
