Well, you're left with all your pearls and diamonds but he's gone...

Cry My Diamond Tears

Verse 1:
We’ve danced through seasons, heartbeats in time,
Now we’re standing here, and I know you’re not mine.
The moments we shared, they’ll stay in my heart,
But it’s time to let go, though it’s tearing apart.

Pre-Chorus:
The way you smiled, the way you held me close,
I’ll carry that warmth wherever I go.
Even if the road leads us far apart,
You’ll always have a place in my heart.

Chorus:
Goodbye, my love, though it hurts to say,
I’ll keep the memory of you every day.
We found something special, and that’s enough,
Goodbye, my love, but you’ll always be loved.

Verse 2:
We tried our best, but sometimes love fades,
And though we’re not lost, we’re just finding our way.
No regrets in the time that we had,
But now I’m walking alone, and it feels so sad.

Pre-Chorus:
But I’ll remember you like the stars in the sky,
No matter where we go, you’ll never say goodbye.
In every whisper of the wind I hear,
You’re still with me, you’re always near.

Chorus:
Goodbye, my love, though it hurts to say,
I’ll keep the memory of you every day.
We found something special, and that’s enough,
Goodbye, my love, but you’ll always be loved.

Bridge:
Maybe one day, our paths will cross,
And we’ll smile at the love we lost.
But for now, let’s just set it free,
We’ll always have the sweetest memories.

Chorus:
Goodbye, my love, though it hurts to say,
I’ll keep the memory of you every day.
We found something special, and that’s enough,
Goodbye, my love, but you’ll always be loved.

Outro:
Goodbye, my love, you’ll always be loved,
Goodbye, my love, forever enough.

Goodbye, My Love

(Verse 1)
We were a picture painted in the rain
Two hearts caught up in the same refrain
But the colors started fading, couldn’t hold
The story we were writing, it got cold

You’d say my name like it was all you knew
I’d say it back, but I was already through
Sometimes love’s a lie we tell ourselves to keep
But even stars fall down when they don’t sleep

(Chorus)
And now it’s half of us, half of what we were
Half the love we had, too scared to let it blur
I’m walking forward, but I’m still looking back
Half of us still waiting for the train that never tracks
I’ll miss your smile, but I’ll move on somehow
We were everything, now we’re nothing now

(Verse 2)
I still wear that bracelet that you gave me
The one that promised we would see this through
But promises get heavy, and love’s a heavy thing
When the silence starts to echo louder than the ring

I still feel you in the spaces of this room
Like ghosts of conversations we left too soon
We both swore we'd never let each other go
But here we are, letting go of what we know

(Chorus)
And now it’s half of us, half of what we were
Half the love we had, too scared to let it blur
I’m walking forward, but I’m still looking back
Half of us still waiting for the train that never tracks
I’ll miss your smile, but I’ll move on somehow
We were everything, now we’re nothing now

(Bridge)
If love’s a war, then we both lost the fight
But it doesn’t mean we didn’t burn so bright
You’ll keep a piece of me, and I’ll keep a piece of you
We’re just strangers in the mirror, but we’ll always feel it too

(Chorus)
Now it’s half of us, half of what we were
Half the love we had, too scared to let it blur
I’m walking forward, but I’m still looking back
Half of us still waiting for the train that never tracks
I’ll miss your smile, but I’ll move on somehow
We were everything, now we’re nothing now

(Outro)
Yeah, we were everything, now we’re nothing now...
But I’ll still love you somehow.

Half of Us

Our vows you planned to break
Your prayers you know are fake
Somethin’ I can’t take, it’s over

You deceived me with your lies
You had such good alibis 
I was crucified, it’s over

  It’s over
  Yeahhhhhh, it’s over

Meant nothin’ much to you
But I tried to see us through
Girl it still takes two, it’s over

You’re a cross that I can’t bare
And a pain I just won’t share
Now I just don’t care, it’s over

  I hear freedom ring’n
  And the birds are singin’ 
  So I’m takin’ wing, it’s over
  Yeahhhhhh it’s over

But ya know I’ve learned a lot
And I love this life I’ve got
Took your best damn shot, it’s over

So go on and live your lie
When it leaves you high and dry
Baby I won’t cry, it’s over

  I hear freedom ring’n
  And the birds are singin’ 
  So I’m takin’ wing, it’s over
  Yeahhhhhh it’s over

  Ooohhhhh it’s over
  Yeahhhhh it’s over

It's Over  (s)

An emotive pop ballad, this track was wrote and recorded over a couple of days, in Inigo Studio's in Clapham, London. It was wrote/performed alongside talented Dublin-based Italian guitarist Antonio Farrerasi, to be entered in the Irish National Song Contest. We made the final 8, and flew over to perform in Castlebar, at the song contest finals.

QUANTUM LEEP was a duo I was part of, who recorded tracks at Inigo Recording Studio's in Clapham, London, throughout 2003. We blended pop/r'nb influences with dance music. Listen to our unreleased tunes here: https://soundcloud.com/the-newsical-professor/sets/quantum-leep-unreleased-tunes

[From May 2025: Relocation EP (The 12" Mixes) - being released one-by-one - Confirmed NEXT: Mangled Thoughts deep techy/proggy mix - held back a little as I attempt to implement some sound advice from a much more experienced producer. Other 12" mixes will follow soon after that, as a handful are in various stages of production. Expect something in June!]

Music is my therapy! All styles of house and ambient electronic music. On occasion, I also blend music with politics.

RELOCATION EP (March-April 2025) now complete - 20 tracks, lots of uplifting floor-fillers, deeper electronica, plus some vocal numbers, including a couple of protest tunes.

After producing very little for 20 years, up until last summer, Im really enjoying creating new tunes, so I'm already starting on the next album. I should have some more brand new material to add very soon. Stay tuned & thanks for listening! Damien.

I am working on finding my style. I am a classically trained vocalist. I studied music technology in college.

My name is John Michael Tracy I write songs, jmtsongs.com , love photography, hunting, fishing and all of the outdoors. I was born on Jan. 11, 1957 in Elmira, NY.  I’m the oldest of six children, and my family lived, for most of my youth, in Athens, PA., which is right across the border from Upstate New York.   
	My parents had me take piano lessons when I was a kid, and when I was a teenager, I taught myself to play guitar.  Some friends and I had a country band, and we played local spots for a while.
	In my early twenties, I bought a 4-track recorder and enjoyed playing and recording songs that I liked from the Eagles, Jim Croce, Lobo, David Gates and Bread, Dan Fogelberg, etc.  I sent the recordings to my Grandfather, who had a band when he was young and performed all over upstate Pennsylvania and New York.  One day he asked me why I didn’t write my own songs.  The thought had never occurred to me, but once I’d considered it, it sounded like a great idea, and I told him that I bet I could do it.  
	After the first hundred songs or so, I called a few record companies to let them know that there was a new talent ready to take over the songwriting world, and they suggested I join NSAI first to help me hone my craft.  So I did.  In the mean time, I was sending quite a few of my songs to Washington to be copyrighted.
	A Publisher/Writer named Donn Hecht (most famous for co-writing Patsy Cline’s “Walkin’ After Midnight”) had someone working for him in Washington that noticed the number of songs I was copywriting.  Donn contacted me and asked me to send him some material. I did. He became my publisher, mentor and friend until his death in October 2002. He taught me more about songwriting and the business than anyone I’ve ever met.
	In the Spring of 2000, I wrote a song called “The South’ll Rise Again” and sent it to the nationally syndicated “The John Boy and Billy Big Show” as a gift, never imagining they’d ever do anything with it.  They were impressed enough to play it on the air, and it has been on their “Best Of” shows ever since.
	After the terrorist attacks of 9/11, I wrote a song called “Give’m Hell U.S.A.”  and  sent it to President George Bush and some of his staff.  Both President Bush and his Chief of Staff, Andrew Card, responded with really nice thank you notes. 
	I’m also a member of the local and National GTO clubs, own a 1970 Judge, and have written several “hot rod” songs that get regular play at many car shows and cruise-ins.
           My wife Kathy and I lived and worked in Nashville for a year and met many wonderful artists and songwriters who inspired and encouraged me.
	As the successful songwriter, friend and mentor, Jerry Vandiver says, “We write, because we have to”. The music needs to come out so we do what we love, and let it flow.

Daniël Majoor, also the producer behind the Alio Forte project,  has been involved with electronic music since childhood.

Growing up with the music of Jean Michel Jarre, Vangelis, OMD, Ultravox, Depeche Mode, and later the Ambient scene, he tried to emulate his idols with the few instruments he had. Daniël was primarily interested in sounds and learned to create his own sounds on borrowed synthesizers and keyboards.

Daniël is self-taught, doesn't read music, and taught himself to play.

Later in life, he was able to create his own studio and fulfill his dream: being surrounded by synths and technology, as in the photos of Jarre and Vangelis, while creating his own soundscapes and compositions.

Daniël doesn't see himself as a musician, but rather as someone who "paints" with sound. Just as a painter mixes his colours, Daniel continually experiments with new sounds until he has found the right atmosphere.
