Rye House

lyrics-“War isn't murder, good men don't die
Children don't starve and all the women survive
"War isn't murder, " that's what they say
When you're fighting the Devil, murder's okay
War isn't murder, they're called casualties
There ain't a veteran with a good night's sleep
Let's talk about dead people
I mean a-dead people
The dead don't feel honor
They don't feel that brave
They don't feel avenged
They're lucky if they got graves
Call your dead mother, ask her when she died
It's a deathly silence on the other line
The dead don't talk, but the children don't forget
So in 20 short years, you could live to regret that
War isn't murder, there's money at stake
Girl, even Kushner agrees it's good real estate
War isn't murder, ask Netanyahu
He's got a song for that and a bomb for you
War isn't murder, it's an old desert faith
It's a nation-state sanctioned, righteous hate
Let's talk about dead people
I mean a-dead people
War isn't murder, it's the vengeance of God
If you can't see the bodies, they don't bloat when they rot
And the flies don't swarm, and the children don't cry
If war isn't murder, good men don't die
So in a short 20 years, when you vacation the Strip
Don't think about the dead and have a nice trip
War isn't murder, we should all give thanks
I saw it all in a movie, give it up for Tom Hanks
War isn't murder, they don't ship out the poor
And the bullets they fire aren't part of the cure
War isn't murder, land is a right
But the banks called dibs, it's something you can't fight
Let's talk about dead people
I mean a-dead people
The dead don't feel honor
They don't feel that brave
They don't feel avenged
They're lucky if they got graves
War isn't murder, ain't a river of blood
Stretching all-through time and raining down in a flood
It's a dark sacrifice, made on your behalf
So get down on your knees and thank the sweet Lord that
War isn't murder“

another way-old video from way back when i played at songbird in october!! this song has been heard by more people than any other of mine; it was my little viral moment on which i'm still riding a high. i wrote it about using food as a control variable when the rest of my life felt out of control. i am proud to say that i did start drinking coffee again. there's a reason that's the one that made it into the chorus- my life was worse without it. let that be a lesson to you, i suppose

i know i've been posting so many live videos because it's easy. but i've been really wanting to record some new stuff; if not demos, just acoustic takes of newer writes. let me know if you've heard any new ones i've posted that you want to hear more of, or if there are any covers you'd like to hear!

A cover of Dolly Parton's 'Jolene' by Scott Whitten.
Recorded on June 13th, 2025, in one take with minimal post-processing.


Jolene (Jolene), Jolene (Jolene), Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you, please don't take my man
Jolene (Jolene), Jolene (Jolene), Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him just because you can

Your beauty is beyond compare
With flaming locks of auburn hair
Ivory skin and eyes of emerald green
Your smile is like a breath of spring
Your voice is soft like summer rain
I cannot compete with you, Jolene

He talks about you in his sleep
There's nothing I can do to keep
From crying when he calls your name, Jolene

Jolene (Jolene), Jolene (Jolene), Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you, please don't take my man
Jolene (Jolene), Jolene (Jolene), Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him just because you can

Now you could have your choice of men
I could never love again
'Cause he's the only one for me, Jolene
I had to have this talk with you
My happiness depends on you
And whatever you decide to do, Jolene

Jolene (Jolene), Jolene (Jolene), Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you, please don't take my man
Jolene (Jolene), Jolene (Jolene), Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him even though you can


Songwriters: Dolly Parton / Filippos Nikolaou

Talking Right Out

ANOTHER TIME

I'm so tired
So many regrets to think about
I move forward out of habit
With my eyes fixed on the past

I admit, I'm getting used to it
Not forgetting
Surrounded by solitude
I live my life as a prisoner

I see nothing
I hear nothing
I feel nothing
I am nothing
I'm no longer here
Forget me

I want nothing
I can't help it
I'm worthless
I know nothing
I believe in nothing
Forget me

I've gotten into the habit
Of letting everything go
Without changing my attitude
And doing nothing to change myself

I'm certain
That I can move forward
Only by forgetting this past
And everything I've missed

I see nothing
I hear nothing
I feel nothing
I am nothing
I'm no longer here
Forget me

I want nothing
I can't help it
I'm worthless
I know nothing
I don't believe in anything
Forget me

Une autre fois

MON AMOUR, MY LOVE

In shadows deep, where dreams abide,
My heart cries out, for you beside.
Your distant gaze, it haunts my days,
In love's cruel game, I'm lost in a maze.

Mon amour, my love, a silent ache,
A heart that breaks with every wake.
Yearning for what will never be,
In the depths of unrequited sea.

I offer all, my soul laid bare,
yet you're oblivious, unaware.
My whispered hopes, they drift away,
In the cold wind of your disarray.

Mon amour, my love, a silent ache,
A heart that breaks with every wake.
Yearning for what will never be,
In the depths of unrequited sea.

I linger still, in shadows' grasp,
Hoping against hope, for a love to clasp.
But reality's sting cuts deep and true,
Alone in love's lament, I remain, subdued.

Mon amour, my love, a silent ache,
A heart that breaks with every wake.
Yearning for what will never be,
In the depths of unrequited sea.

Mon amour, my love, a silent ache,
A heart that breaks with every wake.
Yearning for what will never be,
In the depths of unrequited sea.

In shadows deep, where dreams abide,
My heart cries out, for you beside.
Your distant gaze, it haunts my days,
In love's cruel game, I'm lost in a maze.

Mon Amour My Love

Inquisitors

anything you think of can lead to something new 

the start of something new

Whisper sweet nothings and say that it's true
Hoping you'll lift me when I'm feeling blue
Promised you everything, then gave it nothing
One day I'll see through all I did wrong
But right now I'm useless and can't go on long
Maybe I just need time
But you need it more

You don't know how I feel
Shut you down, and drown it out
Too high to care
For you I was never there

Deny all the things that you did for myself
Made you feel like shit when you wanted to help
Tore us to pieces
We know it's my fault
You weren't so perfect but to me you're a star
I was near nothing and falling apart
You tried everything
I tried something once

I'll change one day
A day too late

Whisper sweet nothings and say that it's true
Hoping you'll lift me when I'm feeling blue
Promised you everything, then gave it nothing
One day I'll see through all I did wrong
But right now I'm useless and can't go on long
Maybe I just need time
But you need it more
Deny all the things that you did for my health
Made you feel like shit you just wanted to help
Tore us to pieces
We know it's my fault
You weren't so perfect but to me you're a star
I am near nothing and falling apart
You tried everything
I tried something once

This is my first "song" so any feedback would be brill

The Mourning Dove  Lyrics and music copyright 2025 by Mike Dampf
David Leadbitter on bass

At the river's edge, where small fry feed
there's that big blue heron in the pickerel weed
ravens rasp in cedar boughs
hanging on the line is red, silk blouse

Can't you hear the neighbors, just downstream
big dogs bark, little girls scream
Back in town people act so strange
I'm just country, man and that won't change

When she left, last time around
I buried her dancing shoes in the ground
If she was here we'd be in love
asleep to the sound of The Mourning Dove

Haven't seen her in quite a while
She ran away, just like a child
I don't know who you could call
Seems the friends we had weren't mine at all

Salut
Je m'enregistre dans mon salon sur une focusrite à une entrée (j'enregistre d'abord la guitare puis ensuite la voix que je double parfois) le tout branché à un vieux PC de 2009 qui manque cruellement de capacité. Ma guitare à 50 ans, mon père me l'a offerte pour mes 10 ans . Elle s'est détériorée plusieurs fois et je l'ai réparée autant de fois. J'ai du temps maintenant alors je compose, je joue et je chante. Bienvenue

Hello

I record myself in my living room on a single-input Focusrite (I record the guitar first, then the vocals, which I sometimes overdub), all connected to an old 2009 PC that's seriously lacking in capacity. My guitar is 50 years old; my father gave it to me for my 10th birthday. It's broken down several times, and I've repaired it just as many times. I have time now, so I compose, play, and sing. Welcome.

Writing songs and kitchen party playing with my many musical friends ... pretty much sums it up.
