"Crossroads in the Rearview" is a poignant country-folk ballad that takes listeners on a journey through life's pivotal moments. With its steady acoustic strumming and touches of slide guitar, the song evokes the feeling of a contemplative road trip. The lyrics paint vivid images of past decisions seen through the metaphorical rearview mirror, while also looking ahead to future possibilities. This track perfectly captures the album's theme of "Wondering," balancing nostalgia for paths not taken with hope for the road ahead, reminding us that every mile brings new choices and opportunities.

Crossroads In The Rearview

We are vessels for a larger truth. The message has shaped us as much as it will shape others, and through this, we are reminded of the greater force at work in creation.

[Verse 1]
Slippin' slow, tryna ease my mind, it’s heavy
Drownin' out the noise, but the world feels empty
Feelin' lost, still lookin’ for tomorrow
Tryna let go of the weight and the sorrow
Friends gone too soon, still hard to believe
Thankin’ the sky for the breath I receive
Yeah, real life, it gets hard to take
While you’re catchin' feelings, I’m chasin’ the break
Late nights driftin’ in and out of space
Blowin’ smoke, searchin' for a better place
I don’t understand it, no, not today
But maybe tomorrow, it’ll all fade away

[Chorus]
Prayin’ for a better day
Lookin’ for a brighter way
There’s gotta be more than this
Gotta be more than all the things I miss
Prayin’ for tomorrow’s light
Hopin’ that the future’s bright
Yeah, I’m waitin’ for better tomorrows
Just dreamin’ for better tomorrows

[Verse 2]
Countin' blessings but the pain's still real
Balancin' my life on the edge of what I feel
Missin' you, you had all the right words
Now you’re gone, flyin’ free with the birds
Freed from the pain, now you're out of sight
But I’m here, holdin’ on to every night
Every drink brings me back to that space
Memories we had, I can’t erase
Stuck in the past, just tryna let go
But hopin’ for the future to take me where I need to go

[Chorus]
Prayin’ for a better day
Lookin’ for a brighter way
There’s gotta be more than this
Gotta be more than all the things I miss
Prayin’ for tomorrow’s light
Hopin’ that the future’s bright
Yeah, I’m waitin’ for better tomorrows
Just dreamin’ for better tomorrows

[Bridge]
I’ll hold on while the time passes by
Waitin’ for the clouds to clear the sky
Knowin' one day I’ll find my way
I’m hopin’ for that brighter day

[Outro]
Prayin’ for better tomorrows
Waitin’ through all this sorrow
Holdin’ on till the morning light
Dreamin’ of a future bright
Yeah, yeah
Prayin’ for better tomorrows
Dreamin' of better tomorrows

Better Tomorrows

"Poison in My Veins" is an emotional pop ballad that delves into the haunting remnants of a love gone wrong. With reflective lyrics and a melancholy mood, the song portrays the inescapable pain of a heart broken by a toxic relationship. The slow-burning intensity of the melody complements the deep yearning and sadness as the protagonist grapples with the lingering effects of love that feels more like a poison than a cure.

Poison In My Veins [Pop Ballad]

A reflective number, on being refused service, very recently at my local PO. Felt very uncmfortable, barred too.....for no real reason. I did this one the days after.

Re - Fused Surface

Let the gentle notes of this piano composition transport you to a world painted in the vibrant hues of autumn. Inspired by the bittersweet beauty of summer's end, this piece captures the essence of nature's transformation.

Feel the warmth of the sun's lingering rays as they dance upon falling leaves, creating a symphony of color. Experience the melancholic whisper of the wind as it carries the last remnants of summer away, making space for the crispness of autumn's arrival.

"Summer's Farewell, Autumn's Embrace" is a tribute to the ever-turning cycle of nature, and the quiet beauty found in its constant evolution. Allow yourself to be enveloped in the serenity of this musical journey, and find solace in the transition.

Autumn Colors

„When You’re Not Around“ ist ein emotionaler Pop-Song, der die Gefühle von Sehnsucht und Reflexion thematisiert. Mit melancholischen Melodien und introspektiven Texten fängt der Song die stille Einsamkeit ein, die man verspürt, wenn jemand Besonderes nicht in der Nähe ist. Ideal für entspannte Abende und romantische Momente.

When You're Not Around

Early preview of a downbeat and mournful, reflective, Sunday morning in the sun kind of instrumental arrangement of Summer-Time (by George Gershwin).
For the lovely girl who served me breakfast and got off work 2 hours early due to how quiet it was (really? quiet? moi?)
Using S.W.A.M. instruments by http://AudioModeling.com played with a ROLI Rise-49 Seaboard and good old Behringer UMX-490 standard MIDI keyboard.
(...with foot-pedals for breathiness / formant and seaboard faders controlling growl / flutter / 'harmonic structure')
For now it's just a quick chords reference for me to learn to perform correctly

Sumtime (Piano-Sax)

Sincilious - Sumtime (Sax-Piano) (Summer Time by George Gershwin)

Beautiful, yet melancholic acoustic guitar piece, with a feeling of Baltic winters and icy landscapes.

"Picture by the Bedside" is an alternative rock/indie rock track that blends emotional depth with a steady, reflective energy. The song explores the lingering presence of a lost love, with lyrics like “Your picture by the bedside won’t let me hide” capturing the pain of holding onto memories that refuse to fade. Much like Death Cab for Cutie’s "I Will Follow You into the Dark" or The National’s "I Need My Girl," this song carries a sense of longing, where the ache of the past is inescapable. With its subtle guitars and melancholic tone, "Picture by the Bedside" mirrors the emotional conflict between letting go and holding on, while drawing from the introspective soundscapes of bands like Wilco and Snow Patrol. It's a poignant reflection on love, memory, and the quiet resilience it takes to move forward.

Can I whisper in your ear?
Sweet hello my dear 
Oh don't wake me from this dream
Nothing is what it seems
If I could stop the leaves from falling
Hear your voice calling
Change all these colors from blue
And stop our hearts from breaking in two
This is what I'd do
Oh how I try
But your picture by the bedside
Wont let me hide 
From the feeling of you by my side
And all the tears I cried

A dream cannot help the fall
There are the boxes in the hall
That remind me
There's a little piece of you 
In whatever I do
Maybe if I could make you smile 
You would stay for awhile
But I think it's time to say goodbye
Oh how I try
But your picture by the bedside
Wont let me hide 
From the feeling of you by my side
And all the tears I cried

"Picture by the Bedside" Written and Performed by Northern Sky

Picture By The Bedside

An encouraging, meditative song about overcoming anxiety and shame based on these scriptures: Matthew 6:34, Romans 8:28, Matthew 6:33, Jeremiah 29:11, 2 Corinthians 5:17,  Luke 17:21

Peace at Present

Wash Away the Cracks by Mr.FLEN is a deeply evocative track that explores the delicate balance between holding on and letting go when a relationship has suffered irreparable damage. Through its haunting melodies, soulful vocals, and complex metaphors, this dark pop blues rock track paints the picture of supporting someone who refuses to acknowledge their own inner fractures. Layered with moody guitars and rumbling bass, the song walks the listener through a metaphorical storm, as both individuals struggle to mend the unseen damage that lingers between them. The tension builds, but the cracks remain, creating a poignant atmosphere of unresolved pain and emotional weight.

Perfect for moments of introspection or when you need to lose yourself in an emotional soundscape, Wash Away the Cracks reminds us that some things can't be fixed by sheer will alone. It’s a powerful reflection on human fragility and the heartache of watching someone you love slowly unravel.

Music is not just an art form for me—it's a lifeline, a form of therapy that sees me through the highs and lows of life. Each track I create is a piece of my soul, translated into sound.

My music is a diary of my journey, a reflection of the inner workings of my mind and heart. When you notice an influx of new tracks, it's a signal that I'm navigating through tougher times, seeking refuge and expression through my music. This direct channel from my innermost thoughts to your ears is what makes my music raw, real, and resonant. So, as you listen, know that you're not just experiencing a song, but a chapter of my life, a moment of catharsis, and a piece of my path to healing.

Northern Sky is a Detroit/London-based collaborative formed in 2021, crafting ethereal music that blends dreamy soundscapes with cinematic depth. Their music strikes a delicate balance between melody, emotion, and magic, influenced by timeless artists like Nick Drake and Norah Jones, as well as modern acts such as Beach House and The National.

At the heart of Northern Sky is Rose White, whose voice, like a soft breeze at twilight, guides the band’s sound with transcendent beauty. Supported by Eric Stajda, Dan Kendall, Steve Baker, and Andrea Di Fiore—who weave intricate layers of guitar, bass, drums, piano, synth, cello, and violin—the band creates soundscapes that are both fragile and infinite.

Northern Sky’s songs are vignettes, like postcards from distant places, carrying echoes of fleeting yet eternal memories. Tracks like "Paper Flowers," "Swimming in the Rain," and "Aurora" explore love, loss, and the bittersweet passage of time. Their music reflects the profound beauty found in life’s quietest moments, drawing inspiration from films that capture the magic in the everyday—Cinema Paradiso, Stolen Kisses, Sleepless Night in Paris, and Before Sunrise.

Northern Sky invites listeners to step into a world where music is not just heard, but felt deeply, offering a soundtrack for introspection, inspiration, and everything in between.

I enjoy Electronic music, listening and making. And I enjoy cooking up some delicious dishes, each day. For me and the ol' man.

Ambient Electronica based in Cardiff with visuals - meanwhile in the ReverbNation charts… Wow - not only 1st for Cardiff Electronica & South Wales, have now reached the dizzying heights of 27th UK & 57th World-Wide! Cannot begin to express how happy you’ve made this disabled person. Please look into advocacy for ME/CFS sufferers world-wide and on your doorstep. ThankU! Began making ambient noises before learning to speak - mind you, up until that point everything HAD been satisfactory. 

About 20 years ago I entered suspended animation (extreme ME/CFS + "Gut Dysbiosis" - mould/allergy problems) am now on mend.

Blasting Music (space-invaders themed jam) came from Euro-Techno mate jam on 3rd floor, we each heard whoops, bleeps, sirens, asked "Is that you?" - later friends came back from a techno night, pointed out ash & smoke two doors down with fire/ambulance crews attending. Everyone was OK (phew) and thus from some weird sort of crucible it was born... Lovingly rescued & restored from C-90 tape (with mid 90s tech/software) it was well-received by more hard-core acid-techno fans, as well as 'the touched'

Blasted Mutants (blasting music reblasted 2025/6) will be what then bandmate wanted all along. "Scurried" is but a whisper of a flavour of what's in store.

Forthcoming singles from Through the Wormhole and Impeachy include "Preponderous" and "Going Critical" (versions of which can be found on youtube and reverbnation) - videos coming too, to a mid-2025 near you - watch space!

A dietician helped form weight-loss/deficiency treatment of key vitamins & minerals (did thesis on villi getting out of sync leading to non-absorption):

Eat v slowly, 30m, savour the flavour, 3-5 days
Clear out eg clothes/boxes, bag everything to clean later with mould treatment (softener draw)
Flush radiator surfaces (put soapy water down them with bag/blanket below to catch water/dust)
EG Shark vacuum/Air Purifier (in extreme cases)

Pro-Biotics
EnsurePlus (take 'as needed' I guess 1/day?)
Floradix Epresat multivit
Floradix Vit B Complex (Vit A-D+buckthorn juice)
Equazen Omega cpsules (EPAs / long-chain fatty acids)
Magnesium, Co-Enzyme Q10, Selenium, Zinc
(Only source I can find for traces of minerals such as Boron is Buckthorn Juice - dose is important - less than 20ml/day? checking- for now am making do with supplements as above and Tryptofan probably only found in nuts)
