playing along

Another piece based on the synth compositions from my long-past teenage years. The main theme (slightly rewritten) comes from a short piece I named The Mist Majesty, which, in my opinion, had a distinct autumnal flavor that I wanted to preserve and emphasize in this rewrite. It is also about something else, but autumn is unmistakably present, and I think the watercolor I chose as the cover fits perfectly.
Completed in April of 2025.

Morceaux For Piano, E Minor

Well, you can run, but you can't hide. 
There's no escape from what's inside.
You can try and write your words out in a song.
But we all show when something's wrong.

When you're only showing one face to the world.
When you're trying to make your mind up on a girl.
When you're escaping this world into your own.
You should know that you can never make it home.

I believe it. 
All the money flies away.
I'll be leaving, but the rest of you can stay.
I remember almost every little phrase.
I was here.
I was here.
The facade... will fade away.

Well, we all live, and we all die.
Imagination helps you get on by.
Is there a constant revolution in your soul?
It's a shame that we all have to get so old.

When you lay there on a morning on your own.
When you can not find a place to rest your bones.
When the nighttime comes to help you get away.
When you find out, it won't matter what you say.

I believe it. 
All the money flies away.
I'll be leaving, but the rest of you can stay.
I remember almost every little phrase.
I was here.
I was here.
The facade... will fade away.

We’re gliding under starry skies
Feeling the midnight vibe
We feel the beat inside
Now’s our time to shine

Our heartbeats lead the dance
We’re lost in twilight’s glow
Music breaks the silence
We let the rhythm flow

Mirrored reflections
In your eyes, I see
Phantom connection
Spinning wild and free

Lost in those emotions
We move in slow motion
Nothing else exists here
Just you and I, my dear

Moonlight dance
Raise your hands
Now's our chance
Feel the trance

Moonlight Dance

Lyrics:

Jimmy roams alone. 
Jimmy walks alone.
He's made up his mind. 
Never back home again.
His house beside the church. 
His empty, weary hands.
Jarring cries inside. Silence all around.
Now, they all walk with him.

Jimmy drags his bones. 
Jimmy's not afraid.
He's sent a letter to his friends.
No roads. No stamps. No regrets.
His home is now behind a bush.
And the bells still ringing far away.

Jimmy is not alone. 
Jimmy walks side by side
with the ghosts of Larry and Mick.
Their house beside the church.
Their slender, soothing hands.
They see their cries so far away.
And the grass' so soft and warm.
It's time to rest.
Tomorrow, another walk.

Jimmy Walks Alone

Streetside Philosophy's second album Cliffhanger is a deep dive into the core style of the band, and explores a gritty side of the indie / alternative genre.  All songs were recorded using only live analog instrumentation by songwriter John Spivey.  Cliffhanger was a culmination of 15 years of original writing and tells a cryptic story layered with hidden meanings.
