(Angels moaning, crying)
There’s Angels in the river
Bridges in the sky
Some air that comes from nowhere
And it’s burnin’ in my eyes
Now, I don’t take my mind for crazy
I’m knowin’ what I see
And I can feel that chill of darkness
It’s closin’ in on me.

Somethin’ Goin’ On ‘Round Here
I said there’s somethin’ goin’ down, down, down, down
Somethin’ Goin’ On ‘Round Here.

(Angels moaning, crying)
Now angels are supposed to fly
And those bridges should cross waters
To let you see the lies they’ve seeded
In the sands of their disorders
And your ears can’t stop from hearin’
Cause that air smells so loud
As the guilty escape all justice
Stay hidden in the clouds.

Somethin’ Goin’ On ‘Round Here
I said there’s somethin’ goin’ down, down, down, down
Somethin’ Goin’ On ‘Round Here.

Run liars run
As the clouds melt away from one glimpse of the son+
Run liars run
Liars run, liars run.

(Angels moaning, crying)
Now those angels in the river
Are drownin’ from the tide
And there ain’t no way to save them
From that bridge up in the sky
And in the air that surrounds them
You can hear their distant cries.

Somethin’ Goin’ On ‘Round Here
I said there’s somethin’ goin’ down, down, down, down
Somethin’ Goin’ On ‘Round Here.

Somethin’ Goin’ On ‘Round Here
I said there’s somethin’ goin’ down, down, down
Somethin’ Goin’ On ‘Round Here.

You can feel it in the air…
And the guilty escape all justice
Stay hidden in the clouds
The guilty escape all justice.

Bruce W Nunnally's "I Will Never Love Again" is a poignant ballad that captures the profound depth of love and the heart-wrenching sorrow of its potential loss. The simplicity of the lyrics belies the emotional weight they carry, as Nunnally expresses an unwavering devotion to a beloved partner. The repetition in the verses, with lines like "Please don't ask me if I could" and "Please don't ask me if I would," reinforces the singer's resolute stance on the impossibility of loving anyone else. The chorus, anchored by the declaration "I will never love again," serves as the emotional core of the song, highlighting the singer's heartfelt commitment. The tender sentiment is further emphasized through the vivid imagery of being together until the "final days are done." Nunnally's song is a testament to the timeless theme of enduring love, beautifully underscored by its simple yet evocative lyrics.

Lyrics:
Please don't ask me if I could
Please don't ask me if I would
I will never love again without you

Chorus
You and I
Are my great Love
When you're gone
I will never
Love Again

When you tell me I must stay
Til your final days are done
I hear your heart telling mine that you love me

During the fall of 2023 I discovered an audience of the dead at a 200-year-old church in Calais Vermont. This wind quintet is an exploration of our capacity to communicate between worlds. It is a musical illustration of the flickering that occurs at the intersection of the living and the dead.

(v1)
Are you holding on to hurt? Let it go
Every scar, every tear -  He already knows
When the sorrow’s unrelenting
And your pillow’s stained from tears
He is near, He will ease your pain

(Chorus
Jesus heals, every pain
That you feel inside - every wound, every cry, every shame
He will change your life
Just come as you are, he wants your heart
When you call on His name
Jesus heals every pain

(Verse 2)
You don’t have to feel alone when the tears start to roll
Fear and doubt will fade when you’re in His arms
Just give your heart to Jesus He will make you whole
He restores, every broken soul

(Chorus)

(Bridge)
When you’re lost, when you fall
Give it all, give it all
In His hands, there is peace
There is hope, there is healing

(Repeat)

LoPresti's Cucina d'Amore" by Russell Nomer is an upbeat, Italian folk song that whisks you away to the sunny boardwalk of Atlantic City.

The song celebrates the joy of sharing delicious food, from the town's best pizza to delightful dolci, with family and friends.  With warm, nostalgic vocals, it captures the essence of Italian flavors, cherished memories, and the vibrant atmosphere where "l'amore never ends.

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
Lying still in the hush of night,
With shadows dancing in the pale moonlight.
The world outside begins to wake,
As soft whispers of dawn start to break.
Thoughts like rivers flow through my mind,
In this quiet space, what will I find?

[Chorus]
In the stillness before the light,
A different rhythm starts to take flight.
A yearning heart begins to speak,
For stories that the silence keeps.
Searching for the notes that blend,
Hoping for a moment to transcend.

[Verse 2]
Caught between the life I know,
And dreams that shimmer in the afterglow.
The call of purpose, a creative spark,
A desire to leave my mark in the dark.
We all juggle dreams with the daily grind,
Wrestling with the visions in our mind.

[Chorus]
In the stillness before the light,
A different rhythm starts to take flight.
A yearning heart begins to speak,
For stories that the silence keeps.
Searching for the notes that blend,
Hoping for a moment to transcend.

[Bridge]
In the quiet, I find my worth,
A tapestry of dreams, woven from the earth.
Every lyric, a piece of my soul,
Connecting the fragments, making me whole.

[Verse 3]
So here’s to the seekers, the dreamers awake,
To those who create, and those who partake.
Together we’ll weave a melody bright,
In the shadows of morning, igniting the light.

[Chorus]
In the stillness before the light,
A different rhythm starts to take flight.
A yearning heart begins to speak,
For stories that the silence keeps.
Searching for the notes that blend,
Hoping for a moment to transcend.

[Outro]
As the dawn paints the sky anew,
I embrace the journey, both tried and true.
In the echoes of dawn, I’ll find my way,
Weaving connections, come what may.
Let the music rise, let the stories flow,
In this dance of life, together we grow.

Echoes of Dawn

Get ready for a hilariously relatable journey into the doctor's office with Russell Nomer's "Prostate Exam Blues"! 🩺😂

This track lightheartedly explores the universal (and often dreaded!) experience of that necessary check-up. From pondering in the waiting room to Dr. Schumer's infamous "magic wand," and the hopeful glance towards future, gentler technologies, it's a tune many can sympathize with.

If you've ever found yourself counting down the days 'til the follow-up, anxiously awaiting results from a Doxycycline prescription, or simply wished for a "smaller hand," this witty blues number is for you!

"Prostate Exam Blues" - because sometimes you just gotta sing about it.

Prostate Exam Blues


In the waiting room, I'm pondering, why I'm feeling off my game,
Dr. Schumer's got the answers, though each visit feels the same.
With his glove so snug and tight, he checks things out of sight,
Like a magic wand, he probes the unknowns, though it doesn't feel quite right.

Hey there, doctor Schumer, get that finger out of there,
It’s probing and it’s poking, and it’s more than I can bear.
But I know it’s for my health, so I’ll try not to despair,
Prostate health’s important, even if it seems unfair.

My prostate's feeling grumpy, inflamed, and causing fuss,
Dr. Schumer’s got the answers, so with him I place my trust.
"Doxycycline's what you need," he said with knowing grin,
"Start today, and soon enough, you’ll be feeling right again."

Hey there, doctor Schumer, get that finger out of there,
It’s probing and it’s poking, and it’s more than I can bear.
But I know it’s for my health, so I’ll try not to despair,
Prostate health’s important, even if it seems unfair.

If only there were options, like a gentler, smaller hand,
I'd sign up in a heartbeat, I hope you understand.
Technology might save us, from fingers and their might,
But until that day arrives, we’ll make the best of this plight.

Counting down the days 'til my next little trip,
To see if all that medicine has made me fit and chip.
Not sure if it's three weeks long, but I’m starting to believe,
All this fuss and treatment’s gonna offer some reprieve.

Hey there, doctor Schumer, get that finger out of there,
It’s probing and it’s poking, and it’s more than I can bear.
But I know it’s for my health, so I’ll try not to despair,
Prostate health’s important, even if it seems unfair.

So here’s to all the doctors, who keep us feeling great,
For even though it’s awkward, they help us navigate.
And maybe in the future, with technology so grand,
We’ll look back and laugh, feeling healthy and well-planned!

💻 INITIATING SEQUENCE...
This isn't just a song; it's the quiet before the storm. "The Setup" is a cinematic descent into the digital shadows, chronicling the methodical, patient stages of a cyber-attack. Every lyric is a tactic, a whisper from the MITRE ATT&CK framework mapping the long-con game of acquiring infrastructure, compromising accounts, and staging capabilities.
Feel the tension build with hypnotic arpeggios and a driving sawtooth bassline that hits like a root command. We built this track on a foundation of crisp electronic drums and vast, atmospheric pads, creating a digital landscape for the smooth, ethereal vocals to glide through. It's the soundtrack for your late-night coding session, your next CTF competition, or that moment you realize you're a ghost in the machine.
If you're into the dark, driving energy of artists like Perturbator and Gesaffelstein, the cinematic scope of a Trent Reznor score, or the world of Mr. Robot, you've found your new anthem.
➡️ LIKE, REPOST, and FOLLOW for the next phase of the operation.

Flippin' a switch in a data sea
Gotta acquire infrastructure, quietly
Spin up a server, rent a domain name
Playin' a ghost in a digital game
Got the access, a key without a door
Just a crack in the code, and I'm wanting more

'Cause this is the setup, the long-con game
Before they ever even know my name
I'm building the stage, letting the shadows grow
This is the quiet... the quiet before the show

Got a list of names, a simple, tempting lure
Compromise accounts and now I am secure
Establish new ones, a friendly, fake face
Blending right into the digital space
Hijack a router, make their systems mine
Compromise their infrastructure, right down the line

Yeah, this is the setup, the long-con game
Before they ever even know my name
I'm building the stage, letting the shadows grow
This is the quiet... the quiet before the show

I can develop capabilities, writin' my own new code
Or obtain a zero-day, lighten the whole load
A custom payload, a virus sharp and bright
No need to build when I can buy the fight

Oh, this is the setup, the long-con game
Before they ever even know my name
I'm building the stage, letting the shadows grow
This is the quiet... the quiet before the show!

Now I stage the capabilities, ready for the sign
All the pieces are in place... everything's aligned.
