This Can Not Be That

The is the latest single from the forthcoming album "Icarus Ascending."

What Do Y'all Know About Shakespeare?

“Just in the Nick of Time” blends soulful vocals with big rock drums, gritty guitar solos, and retro synth textures. Think Paul McCartney meets Hendrix with shades of The Cars, War, and AC/DC in the rhythm section.

The track leans into vintage energy with a modern edge — layered vocals, a driving groove, and a guitar solo built for late-night road trips.

Written and performed by Mike “Maz” Maher (Snarky Puppy), this release explores urgency, soul, and musical tension, all under a spotlight of analog color.

Just in the Nick of Time

What really matters in life? How much do you owe to yourself? Or is it just about being lucky sometimes? “How You’re Living” dives into those kinds of big questions. The first line of the lyrics goes straight to the point: “It ain’t what you get, it’s what you’re giving.” It’s all about the impact you make on the world. What do you contribute as a banker? As a consultant, or as an accountant? Even a street musician adds something special, in his own way.

How You're Living

Love is a powerful thing, it can mean everything to some to the point they'll destroy everything else to have it.

Love Like Wildfire

LYRICS:
------
Floating on the edge of ocean
Waiting for the swells to take me away

Whispers in the undertow I can’t fight
Silence screaming louder every day

It’s pullin’ me under
Sudden crash, wave thunder
Dragging me back to where it all began
It’s pullin’ me under

Let it bleed out, misery retreating
Cleanse the wounds that carved me here
Take this part of myself, tear it free now
Drown it deep where no one hears

It’s pullin’ me under
Sudden crash, wave thunder
Pushin’ me down to where it all began
It’s pullin’ me under

Undertow 

I was told that time was healing
But time just lied — and left me raw
Maybe better to leave you hangin’
So you might hear 
Death’s song

Beneath the surface
We all-
Have dark water disease

Disease
Disease

But I can’t feel the sun 
Shine on me no more
All I know is
It’s time to go

To go away
Away

It’s pullin’ me under
Sudden crash, wave thunder
Pushin’ me deeper, I can’t let go
It’s pullin’ me under

Undertow 

I’m floating
Still floating
In darkness
No one’s around to hear me scream

I’m floating
Still floating
The silence in the undertow
Undertow

PULLING ME UNDER

"Sledgehammer" was a deliberate tribute to classic funk and soul music.
Peter Gabriel, a huge fan of soul music since his teenage years, wanted to create a modern song that captured the passion of those records. The track features a horn section assembled by Wayne Jackson, who played with Otis Redding and the legendary Stax Records house band, to give it an authentic, soulful brass sound. Additionally, bassist Tony Levin's slapping bass line and drummer Manu Katché's groove provide the funky backbone of the song, directly inspired by the rhythms of the genre. The result was a fusion of pop and funk that became one of the most recognizable songs of the 1980s.

LYRICS:
-------
You could have a steam train
If you'd just lay down your tracks
You could have an aeroplane flying
If you bring your blue sky back

All you do is call me
I'll be anything you need

You could have a big dipper
Going up and down, all around the bends
You could have a bumper car, bumping
This amusement never ends

I want to be your sledgehammer
Why don't you call my name
Oh let me be your sledgehammer
This will be my testimony

Show me round your fruit cakes
'Cause I will be your honey bee
Open up your fruit cakes
Where the fruit is as sweet as can be

I want to be your sledgehammer
Why don't you call my name
You'd better call the sledgehammer
Put your mind at rest
I'm gonna be-the sledgehammer
This can be my testimony
I'm your sledgehammer
Let there be no doubt about it

Sledge sledge sledgehammer

 I kicked the habit (Dejé el hábito)
 Shed my skin (Cambié mi piel)
 This is the new stuff (Esto es lo nuevo)
 I go dancing in (En esto salgo a bailar)
 Oh won't you show for me 
 (Por favor ¿no)
 Te presentarías por mí?
 I will show for you 
 (Yo me presentaré por ti)
 Show for me, I will show for you
 (Preséntate por mí)
 Y yo me presentaré por ti

Yea, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, 
I do mean you
Only you, you've been coming through
Going to build that power
Build, build up that power, hey

I've been feeding the rhythm
I've been feeding the rhythm
Going to feel that power, build in you
Come on, come on, help me do

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, 
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you
I've been feeding the rhythm
I've been feeding the rhythm
It's what we're doing, doing
All day and night
Come on and help me do
Come on and help me do
Ven y ayúdame a hacerlo
Come on and help me do 
Come on, come on 
Help me do

Funky Stanky Sledgehammer

What are his dreams?
Is he taller than me?
What is his scent?
Does he shine more than me?

I don’t care at all,
I hate you both.

Who is this guy?
Is he funnier than me?
What makes him smile?
Is he stronger than me?

I don’t care at all,
I hate myself, and you both.

I fall, I scream, I break it all,
Your name burns, I can’t take more.
Don’t wanna know, I smash it through,
Your shadow kills me, I hate your two lives.
I fall, I scream, I crash it all,
Your name burns, I don’t want “us” at all.

What are his dreams?
Does he go further than me?
What are his flaws?
Does he hear you more than me?

I don’t care at all,
I hate you both.

What are his hands?
Do they hold you tighter than mine?
What are his eyes?
Do they shine much brighter than mine?

I fall, I scream, I break it all,
Your name burns, I can’t take more.
Don’t wanna know, I smash it through,
Your shadow kills me, I hate your two lives.
I fall, I scream, I crash it all,
Your name burns, I don’t want “us” at all.

I drown inside your silence,
Every lie cuts through my skin.
I choke on your defiance,
I fade away, I cave within.

I fall, I scream, I break it all,
Your name burns, I can’t take more.
Don’t wanna know, I smash it through,
Your shadow kills me, I hate your two lives.
I fall, I scream, I crash it all,
Your name burns, I don’t want “us” at all.

Who is this guy? (Retro Soul reload)

The entire sound is in my hands. I write cyber poetry, produce, and compose every track — only in Immersive 3D. Every beat is crafted for spatial and next-gen headphones.
Intimate lyrics, total immersion, every track.

For 30 years I kept unfinished demos to myself, never letting them out. Now I finish what I start and release it the moment it’s alive.

I am a "part-time" streamer (as in I stream when I want for fun) who occasionally makes music using the tools available to me. I always aim for quality but that doesn't always happen. Either way I hope my music can be enjoyed by all.
