Special thanks to Paul Paploviante 🙏 for his open collaboration offer to add to his rocking bass and guitar song, “Leaked.” This my first music collaboration and first attempt at music’s rock genre. 

Southern Exposure is a remix of Paploviante’s original song, Leaked. Listen to it here:

A couple hours drive south of my sweet home Atlanta will land you in the territory of Southern rock legends — the Allman Brothers, Duane and Gregg, and just across the Georgia/Florida border, Lynyrd Skynyrd — whose music was known for its great guitar sound, a part of my Southern Exposure. So let’s take a trip where Paul Paploviante’s soulful electric guitar is the star.

DAW Apple Logic Pro X

It's Not Too Late

He tests our hearts
Puts us through the flame
What burns is forever lost
Gold is what remains

We are the temple
In Him, all the same 
Every heart must choose
To embrace Him or to blame

It’s not too late
To know the Truth
And find the Way

The accuser feeds us lies
Gives us reason to hate
While time passes
We progress toward the grave

Refined as silver
Tested as gold
God is of the spirit
This world’s already cold

Passing through the veil
all comes to light
Standing in His presence
Who’d choose to deny?

Everything’s not so mundane
See miracles every day
Minds set on trivial things
Divided, we betray

Jesus taught love
Kingdom is within
Let go of everything
Dividing you from Him

It's Not Too Late (Paploviante & Cosmic Keanu)

The Greatest

Love is patient, love is kind,
does not envy, takes the time;
endures all things, 
does not rejoice in pain,
never proud, or unkind

We knew in part at one time,
now the partial is done away
One time I saw in a mirror, dimly,
now we are face to face

[chorus]
When faith, hope, and love abide,
the greatest of them all is love

If I speak with the tongues of men and angels
but do not have love,
I have become a noisy gong,
fit for none

If I knew every truth
and have the faith to move mountains,
without love,
in the end,
it all amounts to nothing

[chorus]

If I give away all I possess,
and have the courage to face death,
If I don’t have love
in my understanding,
all the profits 
amount to nothing

Love is patient, love is kind,
does not envy, takes the time;
endures all things, 
does not rejoice in pain,
never proud, or unkind

[chorus]
When faith, hope, and love abide,
the greatest of them all is love

Prodigal Son

In the dark 
I stumbled blindly
Painful lessons
without you

Empty reasons, 
Endless deceptions
They all talked
as If they knew

What they lacked 
is now apparent
What they sold 
was not the Truth

I searched blindly
in despair,
Only to find you
waiting there

[chorus]
Jesus, 
You are the Bread of Life,
who believes in You has found the light
You are the Bread of Life,
that which endures to eternal life

I hungered and 
I was thirsty,
my soul was dim, 
my heart was weak

My sins were many,
I was fallen
It’s through grace
that I’m still here

I look back, 
my chains are broken
The pain has eased,
You erased my fear

Now it all fits 
so seamlessly
Those who believe
are forever free

Prodigal Son (Paploviante & Cosmic Keanu)

You Think You Know Me / by Paploviante / joerxworx remix

"Still Think Positive" by Paploviante: Music & Title; 
Reidmoto: Lyrics & Final Remix

Still Think Positive

Verse 1
When life takes a turn into
 turbulence and chaos
 Your boss says you’re great
But you’re part of the layoffs.

Verse 2
You’re ghosted by your lover
without a word to you.
You’re left to guess and wonder
Eight years down the tubes

Pre-Chorus
Though you want to shrink
 get smaller than a mouse,
 guard your thoughts, how you think,
 this storm won’t sink your house.

Chorus
Instead of being a loser, a shrinking violet.
 Lean in hard, pursue your dreams of being a pilot.
 Don’t give hell an inch and still think positive.
 Live well, stay at the helm, it’s your prerogative.

Verse 3
 Your friends all disappear when
 your pockets start to drain,
 the sunshine fair-weather crew
 can’t stand to walk in rain.3

Pre-chorus
Though you want to shrink
Get smaller than a mouse
Guard your thoughts, how you think
This is not the time to blink

Chorus
Instead of being a loser, a shrinking violet.
Lean in hard, pursue your dreams of being a pilot.
Don’t give hell an inch and still think positive.
Live well, stay at the helm, it’s your prerogative

Reflective by Paploviante / joerxworx sax remix

Reflective-R & B – Paploviante: Music & Title; Reidmoto: Lyrics & Final Mix

[verse 1]
We’ve been over this a thousand times
Yet you continue to commit your petty crimes
Talking to you about it seems so ineffective
I’m hopeful when you look so sad and reflective

[verse 2]
But I’m not going to do this anymore
Playing your game is such an F’n bore
Pack your things and hit the door
I’m done with your crap that’s for sure

[chorus]
What’s your objective in looking reflective?
I’m so ineffective, when I try to be corrective
Can’t you be objective, and see my perspective?
I’m fair when corrective, go easy on directives,

But you might be hopeless,a factory defective
You might be hopeless,a factory defective

[bridge]
I think the best thing we can do
Is let you go run with your crew
You’ll see if what we said is true
You’ll beg to come back till you’re blue

[sax solo]

[verse 3]
I hate to speak in rhymes
We’re really in sad times
Depleting dopamine online
Should really be a crime

[verse 4]
They only time you hear me
Is when I rhyme or if you fear me
i don’t want you to be near me
So don’t even try to endear me

[chorus]
What’s your objective in looking reflective?
I’m so ineffective, when I try to be corrective
Can’t you be objective, and see my perspective?
I’m fair when corrective, go easy on directives,

[bridge]
I think the best thing we can do
Is let you go run with your crew
You’ll see if what we said is true
You’ll beg to come back till you’re blue

[outro]
But you might be hopeless,a factory defective
You might be hopeless,a factory defective
You might be hopeless,a factory defective
You might be hopeless,a factory defective

Promoters of any services: I'm not interested and have a team that handles everything I need. Save your time and your account and DO NOT send me messages praising my music, then hitting me up with your offer. 

ONE MESSAGE FROM ME TO MY CONTACT ON SOUNDCLOUD AND YOU WILL BE BANNED FOR LIFE. 

Now that we've got that straight...

I'm a songwriter and musician, have played in bands, play mostly guitar, and a bit of keyboards, but my primary passion is writing songs--creating cool songs that people can relate to. 

I like to write songs that have meaning and emotional impact, but try to also include some humor in them to make it not so serious and heavy. 

I hope you enjoy some of the songs.

Reidmoto

Be excellent to each other!

"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."
--Ephesians 6:12

"Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father, who has loved us and given us eternal comfort and good hope by grace, comfort and strengthen your hearts in every good work and word."
--Thessalonians 2:16

Enter through the narrow gate. 
For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.
--Matthew 7:13-14

For am I now seeking the favor of people, or of God? Or am I striving to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a bond-servant of Christ.
-- Galatians 1:10

"No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon."
--Matthew 6:24

My bio (to copy) written by me in the third person :-)
"Jörg S. born in Cologne, from youth on, is fascinated by all kinds of art, so he taught himself the saxophone very early. Nowadays flutes of all kind are also part of the equipment, as are jaw harps, percussion, bass, guitars and keyboards.
He was and is always involved in many band projects and session events.
In the 80s he was a saxophonist in the Adam Noidlt Intermission Orchestra with gigs in Berlin, Cologne, Düsseldorf and Basel. Very early on he also worked as a writer with live readings in the Cologne area and was a painter with large formats for many years, all in addition to his job as a graphic designer. Now, retired, he is devoted solely to music: home recording with the platform of choice, Soundcloud and global collaborations."

*32K before 2016

I love making music that soothes, inspires, and rejuvenates. Downtempo, chilled Lo-fi, non-AI music set to hip hop, pop, and jazz beats. Lover of Boom Bap.

My creative journey began as a visual artist, and now I'm concentrating my energy into creating music that can instantly impact minds and moods for the better. 

Almost all of my music is chill @ -100 bpm to hopefully stimulate calm and feelings of well-being in listeners as it does for me. 💙

I don’t use AI or samples. My music is original, digital, and composed using a MIDI keyboard and DAW. I also record live LoFi audio of ambient sounds such as birdsongs or rainstorms using an iPhone or a microphone connected to laptop.

I’ve been called Rebecca of Sunnybrook like the children’s book because of my birth name but call me Beck like my friends do. I chose Sunnybeck to use as my nickname as I’m an eternal optimist and love the sun.
