This is a song I was commissioned to write for a grade 5 class of children that were graduating to middle-school. The song was performed entirely by the students including the piano accompaniment.

Precious Moments by Rob Fillo ©2022
Verse 1:
There are times that echo forever
Precious moments so bold and so true
You worry they’ll fade, but they'll never
Though this chapter is closing it’s true

Verse 2:
There are times when I might feel lonely
I’ll remember the days at my school
How the bruised knees and heartbreaks all mended
All the struggles I fought my way through

Verse 3:
And the friends, their love and our laughter
Like a tree I grew, how I grew
And the lessons I learned from my teachers
Who cared more than I really knew

Pre Chorus:
In this precious moment I thank you

Chorus:
Winding road lies ahead
When I’m dreaming in my bed
Let me drift back to the time I spent with you

Coda:
And the times that echo forever
Precious moments so bold and so true
In this grateful moment
In this special moment
In this precious moment I thank you

Chorus:
Winding road lies ahead
When I’m dreaming in my bed
Let me drift back to the time I spent with you

Coda:
And the times that echo forever
Precious moments so bold and so true

In this grateful moment
In this special moment
In this precious moment I thank you.

What You Hold In Your Heart by Rob Fillo ©2023
Verse 1:
If we only knew these were the good old days
Before they left and fell away
Could we all slow down and let it all in
‘Cause life is short and bitter sweet
First you’re up in the clouds
Then your down on the street
Could we slow it all down and let it all in
Chorus:
I know you’ve got those bills to pay
For your house and your soul
But one day when it all goes away
All you’ll have is what you hold in your heart
All you’ll have is what you hold in your heart
Verse 2:
I can see you’re a lot like me
You got a mind for misery
You gotta slow it all down
Let the healing begin
Darkness comes you gotta let it go
Feel the spirit and let it grow
Then slow it all down
And let it all in
Chorus

This Old Train by Rob Fillo ©2023
Verse 1:
One way train going down the track
One way ticket, ain’t coming back
Train keeps moving like a mountain song
Won’t you join me and sing along
Chorus:
Oh my love remember me
Be my sweetest destiny
Hold me close in your mind
Cause this old train ain’t far behind
No this old train ain’t far behind
Verse 2:
Just got one life to live
Just got one heart to give
All this pain, don’t pay no mind
This old train ain’t far behind
Chorus
Verse 3:
You broke my heart
Laid to dust
But I ain’t metal, I won’t rust
Gunna heal up in my time
This old train ain’t far behind
[Chorus]
[Chorus]

I Don’t Know What I’m Doing by Rob Fillo ©2023

Verse:
I don’t know what I’m doing
But I’m having such a wonderful time
I don’t know what I’m doing
But I know someday I’m going to make you mine
First a kiss then a touch
Honey I love you so much
I don’t know what I’m doing though I’m having such a wonderful time
Chorus:
There’s a world I just gotta know
Will you be the one to show me
Wont you wrap me in your arms
Wouldn’t do us any harm
If we shared each others charms
Wont you take my breath away
Oh I don’t know what I’m doing, but I’m having such a wonderful time
[Verse]
[Chorus]

I Dont Know What I'm Doing Demo

Angel In Hell by Rob Fillo ©2023
Verse 1:
I can’t write songs when I’m around angels
I don’t feel pretty when life is bliss
I need some pain to fuel my desire
But I’d never wish for this
Give me just one chance to dive into you
I’ve never felt like this before
Soft spoken silhouettes may tell you otherwise
I’ll hold their wrists you drive in your nails
Chorus:
I need you like an angel in Hell
Drag me out of this spell
Make me whole again
They rape my mind, but my soul lives within
And I’m stricken by sin
Leave me out of this human race
Then I’ll go home, then I’ll go home again
Then I’ll go home, then I’ll go home
Verse 2:
Gone are the words of dead men like John
When did we lose our faith in love
Some people search at the bottom of bottles
Some people look high above
But I can’t decide if I’m a believer
Waking each day for some higher plan
If you take my hand and I kiss you slowly
Deep in your eyes I can see God.
Chorus
Chorus

Angel In Hell Demo

I grabbed the stems for this track from an open contest to remix Above & Beyond's EDM Song ,Counting Down The Days. I decided I would make it my own with live rock bass and drums and a bunch of other tweaks. This is a Rob Fillo remix of Counting Down the Days by Above & Beyond.

Counting Down The Days by Above & Beyond:

I've been counting down the days and the nights,
Since you last said that you loved me.
And its cold here in the shadows with no light,
Since you last said that you loved me.
I've been counting down the days and the nights,
Since you last said that you loved me.
And its cold here in the shadows with no light,
Since you last said that you loved me.
Time is like an enemy leaving lovers by the side,
The more you cling to love, the more you're gonna lose your mind.
All I feel is sadness now,
Taking over, taking over, taking over.
All I see is black clouds of doubt,
Taking over, taking over, taking over.
I've been counting down the days and the nights,
Since you last said that you loved me.
And its cold here in the shadows with no light,
Since you last said that you loved me.
Time is like an enemy leaving lovers by the side,
The more you cling to love, the more you're gonna lose your mind.
All I feel is sadness now,
Taking over, taking over, taking over.
I've been counting down the days and the nights,
Since you last said that you loved me.
And its cold here in the shadows with no light,
Since you last said that you loved me.

This poignant song delves into the tumultuous emotions of our modern world, exploring the impact of today's chaos on our collective psyche.
What sets this song apart is not just its compelling message but also its raw authenticity. It was self-produced, written, and recorded during the darkest days of the COVID-19 pandemic and I poured my heart and soul into every aspect of its creation.
The track features a dynamic soundscape of electric guitars, driving rock drums, and intricate vocal arrangements, creating a blend of intensity and vulnerability that is truly captivating. But more than just its musical prowess, Insane carries a deeply personal narrative.
During the production process, I leaned into my own struggles with substance abuse, emotional distress, and the profound isolation of lockdown, to tap into a true sense of insanity during all night recording/experimentation sessions. This authenticity shines through in every note, creating a cathartic experience for both the listener and the creator.
After nearly three years sober, I finally gathered the courage to face the dark memories associated with this track and completed the mixing/mastering process. Insane is finally ready to be unleashed upon the world. It's a testament to resilience and a reminder that even in our darkest moments, music has the power to connect us and provide a sense of purpose and understanding.
I urge you to give Insane a listen and consider adding it to your playlist. It's more than just a song; it's a lifeline for those who feel lost in a world that seems to have gone mad.
Thank you for your time, and I look forward to hearing your thoughts on this very special track.

Insane is available on all your favourite streaming services March 1st 2024.



Insane Lyrics:
Burdening the children for our crazy ways
Poisoning the future, we’re poisoning our veins
There’s no violence in my heart
Just this rumble in my brain
And it’s tearing me a apart
Yah it’s driving me
It’s driving me

The media is frenzied for the hate parade
They’re lapping up the blood now
‘Cause that’s how they get paid
There’s no violence in my heart
Just this rumble in my brain
And it’s tearing us apart
Yah it’s driving me
It’s driving me
Insane
