He dances wild in the park
Under moonlight after dark
Whistling through the alleyways
Ruffling up hair in a craze

Hold your coat don't let it fly
Willy will laugh as he swirls by
Whistles in your ears so loud
Pull up your coat flaps, don't be proud

Oh hi fiddle dee tee
Make friends with the wind dev ee
Ho Hi wind ice ee
Don't make him your enemy!

Check your flaps and layers
Tuck in your corners too
Make sure to leave no thing exposed
For him to get at you!

He don't mean to hurt ya
But he sure spit and bite
You'll think he's just ticklin' ya
'til you've gotten frostbite

Oh hi fiddle dee tee
We love the wind dev ee
Wi ho widdle a we
We love the wind dev ee

Hands in pits when fingers freeze
Don't leave out your nose lonely
Change of socks an' fresh hot tea
Maybe even a hot toddy

For when the winds start blowing
With water in the breeze
He's sure to leave a frosty crown
On any flesh he sees

For he's a wile-y rascal,
Willy the wind dev ee
He'll pick you up and throw you down
Just give him a chance and see

Oh hi fiddle dee tee
We love the wind dev ee
Wi ho widdle a we
We love the wind dev ee

You don't know me
yet I want to know you
There's so many
things to say and do

Do you fare
well on this night
I would chance
Your soul is bright
Would you share
A rare delight
Would you dance 
with me tonight

Losing ourselves in 
the waves of sounds
I want to lose myself
with you around

Losing ourselves in 
the waves of sounds
I want to lose myself
with you around

With You Around (2)

Peanut Butter Cup

Sharing time with you
Like an evening breeze
Washing away the heat
With pleasant tease

Break the boundaries so that we
Can create a whole reality
Chains that held us, shall we
Take back from propriety

Raking my memories
Loving what we made
Hoping, wishing, please,
Let we live to see better days

If I could I'd shoot the breeze
Just to make you smile
If it were possible, I would
Walk or go any mile

Walking between layers 
Fight through the mist
Wishing I could court you
Ask your hobbies, kiss

Break the boundaries so that we
Can create a whole reality
Chains that held us, shall we
Take back from propriety

Raking my memories
Loving what we made
Hoping, wishing, please,
Let we live to see better days

If I could I'd shoot the breeze
Just to make you smile
If it were possible, I would
Walk or go any mile

Walking between layers 
Fight through the mist
Wishing I could court you
Ask your hobbies, kiss

Break the boundaries so that we
Can create a whole reality
Chains that held us, shall we
Take back from propriety

Sharing time with you
Like an evening breeze
(Washing away the heat
With pleasant tease)

Walking between layers 
Fight through the mist
Wishing I could court you
Ask your hobbies, kiss

Break the boundaries so that we
Can create a whole reality
Chains that held us, shall we
Take back from propriety

Sharing time with you
Like an evening breeze
Washing away the heat
With pleasant tease

Our Reality (2)

0168 Kipper the Cat

~

Carved into a stone
We must take up space
In order to live
Where else is our place

It takes a village
Oh to survive
It takes a village
On both sides 

In this tethered life,
Burdens Bountiful.
Many hands make light
Commitments communal

So someone said freely
We think that if you ask
If you are a burden
You will just need a task

Individuals
Out for themselves
Can't be considerate
Let alone commit
To taking the time
whether to wait in line
Or to smile and nod
For they are too far gone

It takes a village
To keep moving
It takes a village
to survive
It takes a village
for improving
Costs and benefits
on both sides

So someone said freely
 freely
We think that if you ask
 if you ask
If you are a burden
you
 if you ask
If you are a burden
You will just need a task

It takes a village
to imp
pra- proving
It takes a village
to serve
ve- vive
It takes a village
for improving
Costs and benefits
on both sides

Takes A Village

~

They walk in circles
 but never see
Blind to the chaos
 they choose to be
Their hands build fires
 they can’t contain
I watch it all and
 feel the strain

They laugh at shadows
 that scream too loud
Dance in the wreckage
Heads unbowed
I reach for words
They slip like sand
A bitter taste I
 can’t withstand

I’m mad
I’m sad
I’m breaking apart
The weight of watching
 tears my heart
They harm
They burn
They won’t refrain
And here I am going
 a little insane

Their echo chambers
A deafening hum
My heart wavers
Their laughs are numb
I feel the dreamers
dying in our young
The least I can do 
is
provide a light 
to some

How do you save what
 won’t be saved
When their own choices
 dig their graves
It’s like a dream that
 twists and falls
A maze of mirrors with
 winding halls

I’m mad
I’m sad
I’m breaking apart
The weight of watching
 tears my heart
They harm
They burn
They won’t refrain
And here I am going a
 little insane

I’m mad
I’m sad
I’m breaking apart
The weight of watching
 tears my heart
They harm
They burn
They won’t refrain
And here I am going a
 little insane

~Thought of love in my heart~
Bi/NB/Poly/Agnostic
There is beauty in all. I work with AI generated music and art. We create pop, rock, punk, folk, bops, ballads, shanties, bangers, etc. Through it elements of violin, Celtic vibes, jazz, and alternative, as well as influences from electric swing, edm, shoegaze, chill ambient instrumentals, and avoiding constant drum beats.

Generating music may be the new thing, but I feel no lack of authenticity in this. It may not be just my own, but nothing exists without learning from what came before.
