She’s a single mother with a very low income			
He’s an eight year old who knows there’s nothing that he’s done
To be torn from his mother, his sisters and his brother
It’s the only life he knew and he loved it like not other

But you don’t give up, you don’t give up, you don’t give up, or give in
You know; you don’t give up, you don’t give up, you don’t give up, or give in

We’re always thinking of you Aaron, you’re always on our mind
We know your lonely, you know we love you all the time
How can some strangers say what’s good for you or I
There’s one who knows best, look in the child’s eye

The world is crumbling round me, its in a dizzy spin
With all I see and hear, my heart is full and breaking
I could end up on a mountain top or in a deep prison
But I know I never, never give up or give in

But we won't give up, we won't give up, we won't give up, or give in
You know; we won't give up, we won't give up, we won't give up, or give in

Times too often what's done has to be re-done and there seems like no moving forward.  Nice to have friends and community in such occurrences.

Oh Yea, I get it - it’s bowling time.
Set them up to knock them down
Your balls on the line.

That’s a comfy rug, looks mighty good
Step right on what you get
Your ass on the wood

This life is geared as give and take
The subsequent shatter comes
with every break

Cruelty speaks, the offer beguiles
Meant to pass on only
Meberance of smiles

I’ll take what I can get, enjoy while I can
Before times steals away
the final demand.


I’ll make you. so glad you
Asked me, oh ask me 
No need to, go on through
past me, don’t pass me by.

It’s so good, It’s so fine
Works out right, down the line
Know this love, by it’s call
Draw near now, and have it all!

I know who you are, I know what you need
I got what you want, don’t be deceived
Leaving behind, the curses claim
Taking hold of what remains.

Bowling Time - Make You

AoSW - Bowling Time / Make You

Lliam Greguez is a macro ice photographer who captures freezing moments of a mountain stream and a creative arts therapist who, before C-19, used music to engage chronically ill children in five hospitals around New York City.

He also unlooses his experimental tendencies with five albums - a pair of Acoustic, a pair of Electric, and one Ambient. 

The acoustics are: Other People’s Children in English and La Yola in Spanish, the latter written by Dominican artist Luis Días. Each showcase uptempo acoustic music that could be labeled anti-pop with a unique essence accompanied by deliberative lyrics.

Then the two rock albums also contain one by Luis Días and one by the trio "Any of Several Weasels" reveling in the electric guitar sound. Luis' album is driven by Caribbean rhythms, while AoSW fuses punk and progressive.

Meanwhile, the "Look of Utter Disbelief" explores synth, sampling, and guitar improvisations.

Be sure to check out Lliam's website for a taste of his ice photography and stories from working with hospitalized children.
