To be quite honest, i don't know what the hell this track is about, but....it is what it is.

Ton regard perdu me fait fondre 
Tu es la reine de mon monde
Sublime geisha, tu m’ensorcelles
Dans tes yeux, les promesses du ciel

Tokyo girl
Tu m’envoutes for ever
Kiss the sky
Heaven in your eyes

Dans les rues, fière, tu m’échappes 
Sensation si je t’attrape 
Ton regard triste me retourne 
C’est perdu, la roue tourne

Tokyo girl
Tu m’envoutes for ever
Kiss the sky
Heaven in your eyes 
Kiss the sky
Heaven in your eyes
Kiss the sky
Heaven in your eyes

Kiss the sky
Heaven in your eyes

Tokyo girl
Tu m’envoutes for ever
Kiss the sky
Heaven in your eyes 

Dans les rues, fière, tu m’échappes 
Sensation si je t’attrape 
Ton regard triste me retourne 
C’est perdu, la roue tourne…

In ATL where I live, rainstorms have arrived for the next few days as Hurricane Erin has moved inland. Yet, even on the rainiest of days, the afterglow of music created around firelight lingers like the smoky scent of burnt hickory. In my world, that “firelight” is a computer screen, although in the past I’ve noodled an acoustic guitar around a campfire. Who hasn’t?! 😀

Today, I feel fortunate to enjoy the immense talent and camaraderie of SoundCloud friends. So a song of thanks. Pretend we’re gathered around a campfire for a toast — Here’s to humans making music 🥂🍻 To the goosebump factory! as friend @TheBeautifulDark calls it  ✨🪄And to its afterglow! 🍾 🙏

“This is Labor Day!” is a high-energy 70’s-inspired rock anthem that celebrates the spirit of workers everywhere. With roaring guitar riffs, soaring organ, and a live jam-band feel, it captures the grit, pride, and joy of a holiday built for the people. Almost five minutes of pure rock ‘n’ roll freedom — fireworks, sparklers, and all. Turn it up loud, raise a glass, and sing it out: This is Labor Day!


LYRICS: 

[Verse 1]
Well the week was long, the road was rough,
Hands got dirty, the work was tough.
Steel and sweat built the world we know,
Now it’s time to let it go. 

[Verse 2]
Fires are burnin’, grills are hot,
We take our rest, we give all we got.
Raise your voice, let the music play,
It’s the working man’s holiday! 

[Chorus]
Raise your hands, raise your glass,
Sing it loud, make it last!
One more night, we’re free to stay,
This is Labor Day! 

[Verse 3]
The teacher, the driver, the factory line,
The farmer out working, the dream we define.
Every brick, every bridge, every mile of clay,
Built by calloused hands each day. 

[Bridge]
From sunrise to the setting sun,
We’ve been working since day one.
But tonight, the load’s put down,
We’re kings and queens of this hometown. 

[Chorus]
Raise your hands, raise your glass,
Sing it loud, make it last!
One more night, we’re free to stay,
This is Labor Day! 

[Verse 4]
Let the fireworks paint the sky,
We worked to live, now we live to fly.
Brothers and sisters, shout hooray,
We’re together this Labor Day! 

[Final Chorus]
Raise your hands, raise your glass,
Sing it loud, make it last!
One more night, we’re free to stay,
This is Labor Day! 

[Outro]
“La-la-la, Labor Day” 
“La-la-la, Labor Day” 
“La-la-la, la, la, Labor Day” 

This is Labor Day!

All By Myself is a playful pop-funk anthem celebrating independence and self-love. With cheeky lyrics, groovy rhythms, and a confident male vocal, it turns solitude into empowerment. The song embraces freedom, joy, and living without pressure, creating a light-hearted, catchy vibe that feels both modern and uplifting—a true self-love anthem.

The point is - you are good enough as you are.

All by myself

WER WE GOING

Sweet Southern Heat

[Verse 1]
I say you like a prayer—
slow Georgia drawl
words dipped in molasses
and gasoline

Your breath humid
dripping with bad decisions
making my thoughts
climb the register

The sun clings to your back
like sin on Sunday
your skin salt-kissed
tattooed in sweat and passion
I watch your hips shift—
black leather tigh
just waiting to be undone

[Pre-Chorus]
Between the church bells,
and cracked-lipped hallelujahs
you strike a match against the South’s slow burn—
and I let it take me whole

[Chorus]
Sweet southern heat
you’re a fever I can’t leave
In the red dirt night we’re smouldering
burning where the dark runs deep
Sweet southern heat
God won’t follow where we meet
Your black leather keeps the secret—
your fire’s too wild to keep

[Verse 2]
Tires hiss on the road,
radio low,
your hand on my pocket,
I forget this heat will pass.
If we don’t fade out,
we can smoulder—
stretch dusk until it sweats,
make the night peel back its skin.

[Pre-Chorus]
Two ghosts wrapped in smoke,
and honeydew.
The dark’s too soft to hold us down—
we’ll burn until we’re new.

[Chorus]
Sweet southern heat,
you’re a fever I can’t leave.
In the red dirt night we’re smouldering,
burning where the dark runs deep.
Sweet southern heat,
God won’t follow where we meet.
Your black leather keeps the secret—
your fire’s too wild to keep.

[Bridge – whispered / layered harmonies]
Strike a match,
hear the slow burn,
let the Sunday sins
have their turn.
No one watching,
just you and me,
lost in southern heat.

[Final Chorus]
Sweet southern heat,
you’re a fever I can’t leave.
In the red dirt night we’re smouldering,
burning where the dark runs deep.
Sweet southern heat,
God won’t follow where we meet.
Your black leather keeps the secret—
your fire’s too wild to keep.

Sweet Southern Heat

When i'm not playing video games....
...i listen to and create Music.
I get into everything: Abba to Zappa...Grindcore to Gershwin...Nine Inch Nails to Nina Simone...Mike Oldfield to My Bloody Valentine to Miles Davis
  I LIKE MUSIC....composing and listening   😎
For the record: I am a keyboardist and sometimes drummer. About 90% of  the keyboard work is me actually playing a Yamaha Midi keyboard. Now you know...
