GHR - Armistice Day 2025

25 11 09 - The war within (Rememberance Sunday)

A silent tribute to the souls of November 2019 — a piece written for those who were taken, and for a nation that still carries their echoes.
This track is a reminder that courage never dies, and memory is stronger than fear.
For the unforgotten.

My Mamaw Polly was truly gifted by God. She was a legend in Llano, Texas. August 5th is "Polly Morgan Day" here. I have such fond memories of her, and am so thankful to have been with her so much this past year.  I shot a video of her playing my piano back in 2013, I ripped the audio from it, and wanted to share so you can all hear how her hands danced across those keys. I was always in awe every time I saw her play.  My Mom said she would always say "Just give it to God" whatever you are going through, "Just give it to God" it's so true and has helped me a lot. I miss her...but I know I will see her again one day, up in Heaven where she is in her mansion, by a crystal sea, playing her golden grand piano.

Imagine having a bank account that deposits 960 dollars every single day, but with one catch: you can't save any of it for tomorrow. Every night, your balance resets to zero. What would you do? You'd spend every dollar wisely, right? Well, we already have this bank—it's called time. Every morning we wake with 960 minutes, and every night they're gone forever. This powerful metaphor opens our exploration of Ecclesiastes 12, where the ancient teacher confronts us with life's most uncomfortable truth: time is the one resource we can never stockpile, slow down, or earn back. The passage urges us with stunning urgency to 'remember your creator in the days of your youth'—not as a religious obligation, but as the central organizing principle of a life worth living. Through vivid imagery of a decaying house representing our aging bodies, the teacher shows us that death itself becomes our greatest instructor, rattling its chains to wake us up to what truly matters now. The scripture reveals that over 90% of believers come to faith before age 30, underscoring that the spiritual path we pave in youth becomes the road we walk in age. We're challenged to stop measuring out our lives with coffee spoons, avoiding the deep questions, and instead to lose our lives in Christ so we can truly find them. The invitation is beautifully simple yet profoundly challenging: fear God, keep His commandments, and discover that what we surrender to Him is always returned as something infinitely better.

Tgought provoking Remembrance Sunday talk, by Major General Tim Cross.

Remembrance Sunday 2025_Maj Gen Tim Cross

This transmission is a living breath—a gentle invitation into the rhythm beneath your doing.
A quiet remembering.
A return to the exquisite intimacy that reveals itself when we dare to meet life tenderly, deeply, and without agenda.

It is a space for those who walk with sensitivity, devotion, and depth—for the ones who sense the unseen and long to live attuned to it.

Through soft guidance, somatic awareness, and poetic attunement, you’ll be invited to:

• slow the internal pace
• reconnect with your original rhythm
• meet the moment without agenda
• feel the nourishment of simply being
• remember the intimacy woven into the subtle layers of existence

This is a sanctuary for the nervous system, a softening for the heart,
and a quiet blessing for the parts of you that remember how to listen.

May this transmission be a place where your breath deepens,
your presence steadies,
and the exquisite intimacy of the subtle greets you again.

The Exquisite Intimacy of Subtle Communion: A Transmission for Stewards of the Unseen

No Side Wins turns from the battlefield to the reality that sits behind every headline: in war, every soul lost is a grave loss, no matter the flag. A strong folk presence runs through the piece, giving it the feeling of a song carried by ordinary people rather than officials, close to the ground and close to grief. The cinematic and epic elements widen that feeling into something almost hymn like, as if the land itself is trying to speak for the fallen.

Global bass touches and a singer songwriter sense of phrasing make the movement feel both modern and deeply human, not abstract or grandiose. Motifs return again and again like names being read aloud, each repetition a small act of remembrance. The music does not rush to consolation. Instead, it stays with the weight of the idea that no side truly wins, because every life taken is a permanent wound that cannot be undone.

About the album

No Side Wins is Movement IX of Whirl: Ukraine in Sound, an instrumental cinematic and neo classical suite with symphonic metal intensity and Eastern European folk and Balkan colour. Across 15 movements the album follows a journey from peace to war, through loss and mourning, and toward a scarred return to calm, written from the perspective of those living through aggression rather than watching from afar.

Have you ever made an introduction, only to forget the persons name before the introduction is even over? Yeah, our memories are pretty unreliable. In fact, even manmade artificial memory, like computer RAM & Storage Disks have their limitations. Fortunately, the Lord's memory is like none other. He remembers those whom He deems righteous for ALL of eternity. Join us for our sermon "The Lord Remembers" from Malachi 3:16-18, where we'll be encouraged in Him remembering His faithful.

***Update 12/20/25 - Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas!! All of y'all have made this year for me so special with all your likes reposts and comments on my songs, it's been very encouraging!! So uplifting and motivates me even more. There's so much talent on here and I've enjoyed listening, connecting and making new friends. Keep doing what you love! Dream forever. God loves you all...blessings to you all. 

Hey! Thanks for stopping by!:) All recordings done on my old Baldwin piano that my amazingly talented grandma gave me. I'd like to think it holds some magic. All original songs, recorded live. I took a few years of classical lessons when I was very young. Fond memories bicycling down E. Brown street to my lessons. Dearest Faye...sweetest teacher ever. 

Throughout the years I'd always tinker on my Mom's old 1900 Ludwig piano through passing, playing songs I had learned, like Fur Elise and The Spinning Song, but it wasn't till I was in college when I fell in love with those keys. There was an old upright in the student center that I'd sneak off to late at night, and ever since then the playing has never stopped, and it never will. I never knew I could even make up melodies, let alone write a song. What a therapy it has been over the years, expressing myself through experiences, and feelings of the hopeless romantic in me. God is good! I'm so thankful. I hope to connect with many and make new friends. Hope you enjoy the songs!:) 

No Ai whatsoever, just my voice and piano, playing and singing simutaneously.

A sanctuary of remembrance and resonance. Audio transmissions offered as living codes of coherence, devotion, and sovereign awakening. Each recording is an invitation to soften into your essence, commune with the intelligence of the Greater Field, and attune to the frequencies of wholeness that have always lived within you.

This is a place for slowing down, for listening deeply, for allowing the luminous intelligence of Creation to breathe through your body and life.

Welcome home to the Origin Field.

I’ve always lived at the crossroads of music and poetry — where feeling becomes form, and melody turns memory into meaning. Whether it’s a lingering jazz note, a well-placed rhyme, or a shift in tempo that tells a deeper story, I’m drawn to that quiet magic where art reflects life with a little more style.

My roots are in classic music — the kind that doesn’t chase the moment but lingers with you long after the last note. Over time, that love expanded into poetry writing and jazz — especially the kind that swings, speaks, and smirks all at once. Jazz, to me, isn’t just a genre; it’s a personality. A conversation. A little tilt of the head and a grin that knows more than it says.

When I set out to create an album, it’s rarely just a collection of songs. I approach it like a personal playlist — one that drifts and flows as if the entire tracklist were one long, uninterrupted piece. Each track leans into the next, shifting mood, pace, or voice, but always carrying the same thread of feeling. I want you to listen the way I do — not as a shuffle of moments, but as a cinematic arc. One breath that lasts an hour.

Lyrically, my work is rooted in lived experience. Sometimes it’s obvious. Other times it’s just the skeleton of a memory, dressed up in wit, irony, or longing. I draw from real-life events, then let the poet in me twist, stretch, or sweeten them to taste. Depending on the tone of the album — playful, romantic, nostalgic, or something in between — I try to keep the emotional truth intact while giving it a fresh coat of creativity. A little humor where it fits. A deeper dive where it hurts.

My newest jazz album continues this tradition — short-lined swing tracks, conversational duets, and tongue-in-cheek storytelling. It’s an homage to late-night alleyway ballads, rooftop serenades, and train station goodbyes — all bound together with a sense of charm and cohesion. Each song is its own little scene, but together they tell a story — one you can revisit with each replay.

Thanks for stopping by my profile. I hope you find something that earns a spot on your repeat-play list — a melody, a lyric, or a moment that feels like it was written just for you.
