This song is a haunting and intense exploration of emotional pain and despair, describing a descent into darkness where hope seems lost and the weight of inner turmoil is overwhelming, with the shadows of one's own mind becoming a prison from which there's no escape.


LYRICS: 

[Verse 1]
Deeper into nightfall sinking
Lost between the shadows creeping
Silent screams in dark unblinking
Lies the truth I've been seeking 

[Verse 2]
Wretched light can't pierce this void
Eyes so hollow dreams destroyed
Voices whisper pain employed
Eternal chains now deployed 

[Chorus]
In the echo of despair
Fading whispers fill the air
Heartbeats lost in deepened glare
Soul's torn burdened unaware 

[Verse 3]
In the darkness tears are dreaming
Hope is just a flicker gleaming
Fear and sorrow ever teaming
Mind in chaos always screaming 

[Chorus]
In the echo of despair
Fading whispers fill the air
Heartbeats lost in deepened glare
Soul's torn burdened unaware 

[Bridge]
Shadows dance with gleeful shame
In this void only my name
Silent voices loud proclaim
Ever lost in endless game
Endless gaaaame

Soul's Torn

TAKE MY HAND was written and produced by THE KID AND I and mastered by leon zervos (avril lavigne, fall out boy, beastie boys) 

a building anthemic rock song coated in paradox - TAKE MY HAND is brimming with hope whilst holding on to the coattails of despair, longing for someone to come and take you away from the chaos and dystopian present we find ourselves in currently

THE KID AND I mission statement still holds strong on this track - that YOU ARE ENOUGH, and that with love and hope we will find a way to a brighter future

THE KID AND I - TAKE MY HAND

Paroles: Marc-Antoine De Serres

[Intro - Instrumental]

[Couplet 1]
Elle est mes rêves d'enfant écrasés sous ses talons plats
Elle est mes poèmes déchirés dans sa bouche sans dents
Elle est le cancer qui ronge mes espoirs un par un
Elle est l'acide qui dissout mes ailes dans son ventre froid
Elle est mes cris d'amour noyés dans son sang tiède
Elle est la mort lente de tous mes possibles
Elle est la tombe où j'ai enterré mes "peut-être"
Elle est le néant qui m'a sucé la moelle jusqu'à l'os

[Refrain]
Je saigne encore du vide qu'elle m'a laissé
Dans les veines, dans le cœur, dans les tripes
Je crève chaque nuit de son absence creuse
Qui me bouffe les organes un par un
Je m'arrache la peau pour sentir comme elle

[Couplet 2]
Elle est mon âme broyée dans son mixeur émotionnel
Elle est la gangrène qui pourrit mes derniers désirs
Elle est chaque seconde où mon cœur bat pour rien
Elle est mes orgasmes morts dans son sexe en plastique
Elle est la cendre de mes passions qu'elle a même pas brûlées
Elle est ce trou noir qui avale même pas mes larmes
Elle est la pluie acide qui dissout pas mes os
Elle est la mort qui refuse même de me tuer

[Refrain]
Je saigne encore du vide qu'elle m'a laissé
Dans les veines, dans le cœur, dans les tripes
Je crève chaque nuit de son absence creuse
Qui me bouffe les organes un par un
Je m'arrache la peau pour sentir comme elle

[Pont]
J'ai ouvert mes veines pour colorer son monde
J'ai arraché mon cœur pour le voir battre dans ses mains
J'ai gravé son nom dans mes chairs mortes
J'ai planté mes dents dans son néant
Pour y laisser la trace de ma vie

[Couplet 3]
Elle est ce vide qui prend la forme de mes cauchemars
Elle est la machine qui broie mes rêves sans les digérer
Elle est le fantôme qui hante mes nuits sans apparaître
Elle est ce vampire qui suce même pas mon sang
Elle est la mort qui refuse de me prendre avec elle
Elle est ce corps froid qui gèle même pas sous la glace
Elle est l'absence qui prend plus de place que l'univers
Elle est mon amour crucifié sur sa croix de rien

[Couplet 4]
Elle est mes organes arrachés un par un sans douleur
Elle est mon cerveau lobotomisé par son indifférence
Elle est la camisole qui étouffe mes derniers souffles
Elle est la morgue où pourrissent mes "je t'aime"
Elle est l'overdose de néant dans mes veines vides
Elle est la seringue qui injecte du vide dans mon âme
Elle est la marque au fer rouge de son absence
Elle est mon suicide raté dans son corps mort

[Refrain Final]
Je rampe encore vers son corps sans chaleur
Je bois son vide jusqu'à la dernière goutte
Je m'accroche à son ombre qui fuit même pas
Je crève encore d'amour pour son néant
Je saigne du vide qu'elle a semé en moi

[Outro]
Sous ma peau en lambeaux
Son absence me dévore
Et je crève encore
De l'aimer à en mourir
Dans son corps en plastique

Despair (Prod. yvngbvckrxdd)

This song is a haunting and intense exploration of desperation, fear, and vulnerability. With its soaring vocals and crushing instrumentation, it's a powerful expression of the darkest corners of the human experience. 

The lyrics convey a sense of urgency and despair, with the repetition of "We need a miracle," emphasizing the feeling of being at a loss and needing something extraordinary to happen. The song's emotional intensity builds to a crescendo, with the pleas of "Please don't leave me here alone" and "Help me" becoming almost overwhelming. 

Musically, the song blends elements of gothic alternative metal, hard rock, and classical music, with a strong emphasis on haunting piano melodies and driving drum beats. The result is a sonic landscape that's both anthemic and intense, perfect for fans of Evanescence and other similar bands.


LYRICS: 

[Verse 1]
There's nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
We need a miracle
A miracle 

[Verse 2]
We're past salvation by far
We need a miracle
No hope
No hope
No hope
We need a miracle 

[Chorus]
Please
Don't leave me here
Please
Don't leave me here alone 

[Instrumental] 

[Verse 3]
I'm terrified
Please
Don't leave me here alone
We need a miracle 

[Verse 4]
Help me
Please
Please
Don't leave me here alone 

[Instrumental] 

[Verse 4]
We need a miracle 
Help me
Please
Please
Don't leave me here alone

Kero Kero -  2月1日

I played a beat-up cassette in my car in Nashville one day and heard this song. I thought, "I should sing like that." Then I realized it was me, I had recorded it on my portable machine after a writers night, it was late, I was very drunk. I'd completely forgotten I ever wrote it. So I got my then band together (the original Lonely Mammals) and we recorded it in 2003. But this is a brand new vocal I did in 2024. 
LYRIC:
As the freeway disappears against the sky
I hold on to the wheel and wonder why
I'm stuck without a dream or a prayer
On a road that ain't goin' anywhere
I guess that's the best I can do
Since my heart lost its way back to you

The lights of the city hit my eyes
Then the darkness of the country passes by 
The city was my shining fantasy
And the country was a refuge for me
But now there's no difference in the two
Since my heart lost its way back to you

There's a tree line silhouetted by the moon
And the dawn it will be coming soon
And the river, silver by my side
Will burn with the rising of the light
But there's no one for me to show it to
Since my heart lost its way back to you

As the freeway disappears against the sky

Competing against my own forgetting your soul I'd rather masterbate

Despair

This introspective song explores themes of internal conflict, spiritual struggle, and moral duality. The narrator grapples with self-worth while acknowledging hidden darkness ("evil under the hood"), caught between aspirations for growth and relapse into destructive patterns. Repeated motifs of resistance to faith/reason, hopeless interventions, and sorrowful reflection reveal a cyclical battle with personal demons and identity crises.

I STAND IN THE WAY

All acoustic instrumental about loneliness and the dark hours.

Hi, friends. My new album is now on Bandcamp at https://jmkearns.bandcamp.com/album/songs-of-surviving-in-the-city-vol-1 . Please enjoy it there!
BIO:
At age 30, J.M. Kearns abandoned his native Toronto and a future in academic philosophy, and thumbed his way to L.A. to be a songwriter.

In L.A. there were a couple of near-breakthroughs — an audition at Electra-Asylum Records, a song meeting with Warren Beatty — but then things got real. Kearns had to eat. He worked as a house painter, then a telegram-singing donkey, and then he really hunkered down, as a bureaucrat at a huge downtown law firm, exchanging molecules with tall office buildings. He did a lot of writing and recording, but not a lot of performing.

That changed when he moved to Nashville. After a thousand writers’ nights, he was given his first real gig, an 8:30 slot at a notorious club called the Gold Rush. Good things started to happen. Kearns found his mojo as a performer and a band formed around him, dubbed the Lonely Mammals. In 2007 he issued a CD with them called Death or Life, and Elmore magazine gave it a rave review. Also that year, his novel The Deep End was published (https://www.amazon.com/Deep-End-J-M-Kearns/dp/1500502707 ). And five of Kearns’ songs were recorded by independent artists. 

In 2010 Kearns moved to Cape May, a beach town at the southern tip of New Jersey, where he performs in a trio called The Squares with his partner Debra Donahue and their friend M.Q. Murphy. And of course, he keeps writing songs. Oddly, his life’s circle became unbroken when a musician friend got him a job teaching philosophy at a nearby university. In May 2024 Kearns released his first solo album, Before the coffee gets too cold.

His new album, Songs of Surviving in the City, Vol. 1, releases on Nov. 15th, 2024, and it’s now in preview on Bandcamp at https://jmkearns.bandcamp.com/album/songs-of-surviving-in-the-city-vol-1 .

Watch this space: next year Kearns will release three more albums of songs that you've never heard. Love Songs Only; Undiscovered Country, and Earliest Songs-Toronto.

Songwriting has been a lifelong passion for me, dating back to elementary school when I first began crafting stories, poems, and eventually lyrics. As a former drummer in various bands, I always relied on others to bring my words to life musically. However, after a long hiatus from drumming, I decided to take the leap and learn to compose music to accompany my lyrics. Through classes and dedication, I've embarked on a new journey, breathing fresh life into old lyrics and penning new ones. You'll find a mix of older and newer works here, for the lyrics. 

Music has been a part of me for as long as I can remember. One of my earliest memories is being completely entranced by 'The Little Drummer Boy' as a very young child. There was something about the rhythm and the melody that just captivated me. I must have played it a thousand times, wearing the record out, and from that moment on, I was hooked. I knew I wanted to be a drummer, and to create that magic for others. 

But I was too young then, and of course I couldn't afford a drum set just yet. So, I turned to writing as a way to express myself. As I mentioned above, I started with stories, then poems, and eventually, lyrics. I found that writing was not only a way to tap into my creativity, but also a way to process my emotions and experiences. 

As I grew older, my love for music only deepened. I realized that music has this incredible power to transport us to different times and places, to evoke emotions and memories that we thought were long forgotten. It's a universal language that can bring people together like nothing else can. 

For me, writing lyrics is a cathartic experience. It's a way for me to tap into my emotions, to process the world around me, and to create something that I hope will resonate with others. And when I hear my words come to life in a song, it's truly magical. It's a feeling that never gets old, and it's what keeps me coming back to music time and time again. 

I love many genres of music and artists of many genres. And if you listen to some of my songs, you will find that I like to make songs of different genres as well as mix different genres into each song. One of my all-time favorite bands is Evanescence, and I have made a lot of songs where I have tried my best to emulate that sound. 

Now, I have recently started experimenting with new sounds. I never heard of glitch beats before I took music classes, and now I'm fascinated with the sound, so I have been experimenting with glitch beats recently. 

I hope you enjoy some of my songs. And thanks so much to everyone who has been listening so far. I truly appreciate it. I welcome constructive feedback to help me grow as an artist, and I appreciate your support. ❤️

Beats and music inspired by life...and anime and games.
