A reflective song about wanting to assure my younger self things will work out.

Lyrics

I recall, playing in the stream,
the light falls down through the trees,
the water runs, we've just begun.
Felt like forever.

How are those days that didn't end
so far away, won't come again?
How can I care, what happened there,
When we're together.

I want to, I want to go back there just once more
And feel the time run through my fingers.

I want you, want you to know just how I feel,
We're living in the real thing, not memories.

I recall, leaving it behind,
feeling cold all through the ride,
Far away, by the next day, lost and lonely.

I couldn't see, past concrete streets,
I felt the world pulled form my feet,
It took so long, felt so wrong,
Still thought 'If only...'

I want to, I want to go back there and tell me,
Nothing you will go through, was wasted.
I want you, want you to know just how I feel,
We're living in the real thing not memories.

The Real Thing

A song about recovering from general anaesthetic and strong painkillers.

Lyrics.

Sit at half light, counting my stripes, taking my time.
Here comes the night, rattles through pipes, follow the line.

To the corner of this never ending room
Where visitors and gameshows out of tune.
Inquisitors exquisite in the gloom
Insist on us that we must get well soon

Well what else did they thing I'm going to do?

Give me a fright, lips are sowed tight, all in my mind.
Takes one more bite, new Fahrenheits, try to unwind.

In the corner of this never ending room
Where visitors and gameshows out of tune.
Inquisitors exquisite in the gloom
Insist on us that we must get well soon

Get Well Soon

A song about liars and misplaced trust.

Lyrics

I don't believe a word you say, and I've, heard enough from you today.
Yeah, I don't believe a word you say, anymore.

I don't believe a word I'm hearing, and my, my trust in you is disappearing.
Yeah, I don't believe a word you say, anymore.

I Don't Believe A Word You Say

A waltz about a time I needlessly doubted myself because of someone else's hang ups.

Lyrics.

Last time you knocked me down,
who was there to hear the sound?

Last time you cut me short,
Oh, did it make you feel tall?

Did it make you feel tall?
Towering over me,
with nothing at all, to show for.
Did it make you feel tall?

Last time you made me cry,
did you see yourself in my eyes?
Last time you made me feel bad,
Oh did it make you feel glad?

Did it make you feel glad?
Or were you wound up in,
all the things that I have?
Don't be mad.

Did it make you feel glad?
Putting me down because, 
sometimes life makes me feel sad.
What a cad. 

Don't it make you feel?

Last time you made me cry,
did you see yourself in my eyes?
It's the last time you make me feel bad,
Oh oh oh.

Glad

Kev Willis @ Betty Gee`s ChatTrap Show 24th January 2025

Last week in Limbo, where did it go, where did it go?
Last week in limbo, I'll never know, I'll never know this

time I was gifted, when my mind, had been lifted,
from the thoughts that were dragging me down 
to the agony, town where the lights never shine and the streets paved with grime, knowing that I'm,
meant to be better off, am I asking a lot, just to wake feeling fine? 
Just to wake feeling fine.

Last week in Limbo. It's going slow, it's slow to go in the
last week in limbo. Another show, another sofa
Days, flow like rain, fall away, through the drain,
And an age, fades to grey as I go down,

to the agony, town where the lights never shine and the streets paved with grime, knowing that I'm,
meant to be better, off, am I asking a lot, just to wake feeling fine? 
Just to wake feeling fine.

Last Week in Limbo

An Americana style ode to beautiful people in my life.

Lyrics.

When did this star, fall from the sky,
land in my life, and make it shine?
When did it's light,
make bright my eyes,
set me straight and see me right?

How can I say what burns inside?
The love I feel, with you beside me.
How can I make you understand
just how you make me a better man?

Hey love, I just want to say love,
with you around I feel the ground just float away love.
Hey love. I just want to say love,
you know the sight of you brings light into my day love.

Just let your hand hold onto mine.
Take that weight from off your mind.
Put your head down, and close your eyes.
Can't stop the rain, but I can try.

I'll give you everything I am.
I'm nothing much, I'll do what I can.
I'll let the waves break over me.
Without your love, I'm lost at sea.

Hey love, I just want to say love,
with you around I feel the ground just float away love.
Hey love. I just want to say love,
you know the sight of you brings light into my day love.

Hey Love

Quite simply a lockdown song based around a finger picking pattern.

Lyrics

Waving, through the windows.
Faces turned away.
Precious glances gone.

Funny how the time slows
when you live for yesterday.
Thought it waited for no one.

Just another prisoner.
taking orders... but it's safe in here.

Walking down the same streets,
up the hill across the way.
The air's never been so clear.

Every day's on repeat.
Got nothing left to say.
The end's never felt so near.

Just another passenger
getting nowhere... but it's safe in here.

Prisoner

Judge Jules & John Kelly - Golden, The Academy, Stoke On Trent - 1995

A song featuring a dub style bass, beat and electronic elements with lots of cryptic words.

Lyrics

When you shake that feeling of the snake back ceiling,
crawling creeping all of the day.
The chills are fleeting and you've got another meeting
with the angry mirror display.

Deep deep meaning keeps your mind from reeling
in a state of steady decay.
It's your chimp skin peeling, stick skin patches on for healing,
in the hope this time they'll stay.

Would you believe me, if I said it was easy.
Would you believe me, if I said it was, if I said it was.

When your dreams repeating and you find your feet in
the stinking sinking sand,
try to throw your weight down but you're way to late now,
what you need's a helping hand.

At the very last minute when you're deep deep in it,
now you really understand
The more you're fighting when you're scared, nail biting,
the less it goes to plan.

Would you believe me, if I said it was easy.
Would you believe me, if I said it was, if I said it was.

If I Said It Was Easy

Techno DJ/Producer Stoke on Trent, I started to DJ and Music Production when I was a youth. In 2004 to 2009 I presented my own shows with TECHNO.FM a online radio station based in Canada. My shows were monthly, as time passed my shows were becoming more popular with listeners all around the world and the station hosts. This gave me better opportunities for me to develop as a DJ and more shows to feature on the station at TECHNO.FM Eventually due to funding new music for my shows I decided to part from the station. The hosts were really appreciated for what I did with my shows and gave me the best of luck for any future developments I evolved in DJing with. All of this experience in DJing it gave me more confidence and networking with other DJs from other shows, always receiving great feedback by them.
