IMAGINE

Sex Tape

A song I recorded back in late 2018/early 2019. Deleted for whatever reason. The section of intense vocals toward the end of this song I've used in another song called "Losing It" which I may re-record in the future. So be on the lookout for that familiar ending. Enjoy.

On the Raid

NO SE QUE HACER

Cuando llega la tarde 
Ya no se que hacer 
Vino en la cabeza 
Me duelen los pies 
Soles que pasan sin atardecer 
Lunas que lloran al anochecer 
Sin valor para mí 
Sin valor para vos 
Y si se va la tarde 
Al encerrarme 
Cuando se termine 
Voy a entender 
Soles que vuelven al amanecer 
Lunas que lloran sobre mí ser 
Sin valor para mí 
Sin valor para vos

Scream For Your Life

straight

This is an original song from another lifetime ago that expresses the frustration of walking away from a terrific relationship because I was still foolishly addicted to a past relationship. My thanks to Nat Daniels for the usual fine production work as I can finally put this out after years of lower budget efforts.

Lyrics: Nora by Craig Durgy
Oh Nora, there’s something coming over me 
Trying to warn ya, how I could lose this energy

Oh oh Nora, even I don't understand this letting down 
Oh Nora, only you were there to pick me off the ground 

Oh Nora why, do I have to say goodbye 
Oh Nora dear, I can't stand to watch your tears
Oh Nora my, Nora can’t you see that I
Just can't give you love 

Oh Nora, I didn't think I'd lose my grip 
Reaching for ya, you touched me and it made me trip 

Oh oh Nora, I wish that I had never let you tempt me girl 
Oh Nora, I guess my heart just wasn't really empty girl

Oh Nora why, do I have to say goodbye 
Oh Nora dear, I can't stand to watch your tears 
Oh Nora my, Nora can't you see that I
Just can't give you love 

Nora my love, Nora my love, just can't give you love

Oh Nora, I never gave you half a chance
I first saw ya, just smiling into my advance

Oh oh Nora, I wish that I could make my heart a home for you
Oh Nora, only time can get rid of this feeling blue

Oh Nora why, do I have to say goodbye 
Oh Nora dear, I can't stand to watch your tears
Oh Nora my, Nora can't you see that I
Just can't give you love

Nora

ONLY IN MY DREAMS
[Intro]
My imagination
Gets the better of me
Such as at this moment
I actually feel free

[Chorus]
Only in my dreams am I a rockstar 
Only in my dreams do I drive a jaguar
Only in my dreams am I a shoo-in
Otherwise, I’m takin’ it, takin’ it on the chin

V2
My life is but a sham
Nobody knows me well
Perhaps, I’m to blame
Tucked inside a shell
In our own little worlds
Til one day we collide
I thought I’d found true love
What I found was a ri-i-i-de

[Chorus]
Only in my dreams am I a rockstar 
Only in my dreams do I drive a jaguar
Only in my dreams am I a shoo-in
Otherwise, I’m takin’ it, takin’ it on the chin
V2
I think I’ll leave it here
This is a rant at best
I guess you gotta know
When to give it a rest
As you turn out the light
May you find sweet dreams
May you awake refreshed
Free from this life’s schemes

[Chorus]
Only in my dreams am I a rockstar 
Only in my dreams do I drive a jaguar
Only in my dreams am I a shoo-in
Otherwise, I’m takin’ it, takin’ it on the chin

Lyrics

Lasered to sense,
Even Sir Rich gets moved
When perusing the world of poetic blues
Where articulated real meets perfection
'Found questionable thought to his atomic interjection

Softly, softly says Professor Neil
Let's take their hands when want meets zeal
Dawkins holds that military mind
New domination for human kind

Only truth,
Call out the lies.
There's enough for our youth in sciences prize
It's poetry this reality
Generalized, it's just wonderfully free

This Plato brain does wander away
I try and imagine all sides of all way
Then we connect with everyone
Changing minds doesn't matter
The door is open

Reality in Poetry (Demo)

We drifted past the neon sprawl
no compass in our hand
Through desert haze and canyon calls
a restless, wayward band
A valley bloomed where shadows fell 
with whispers soft and low
And there we lingered, spellbound 
where wild rivers flow

remember 
All the places we’ve been

remember
All the feeling within
 
No map could lead us here
to this fleeting, sacred ground
Yet in this glen, my heart’s at ease
where peace is finally found
Though roads still beckon
I’ll hold tight to this dream’s soft glow
This hidden place 
my saving grace, where only dreamers go

remember 
All the places we’ve been

remember
All the feeling within

We drifted past the neon sprawl, 
no compass in our hand,
Through desert haze and canyon calls,
a restless, wayward band,
A valley bloomed where shadows fell, 
with whispers soft and low,
And there we lingered, spellbound, 
where wild rivers flow. 

remember 
All the places we’ve been

remember
All the feeling within

Remember

MOUNTAIN WOMAN

An acoustic spin off track from the upcoming thrash metal track - The Dark of Man

This is a love song of sorts - only one I will ever do -- Lyrics below. 

Update: added a bass track 30.6

Ro… roaming empty corners of my mind
without sign of guiding light … oh baby
What’s the purpose… the purpose of it all
when everything built… has to fall

This was to last beyond the time
with the strongest keel holding it tight
… oh baby
What’s the purpose… the purpose of it all
when everything built has to fall

The endless time pushing me down
Who am I to resist, just loosing my ground 
… oh baby
What’s the purpose… the purpose of it all
when everything built… has to fall

My redemption starts tonight, only sinister thoughts
stay by my side - no, no, not looking for harm, the fear of end 
will keep me calm

Did our evolution run its course – Is it now the time for different force...?
Will I return to life left behind...
I’d still rather find you by my side, by my side, by my side … .. .

"I have crossed oceans of time to find you" by Bram Stoker's Dracula.

Purpose of it all

Purpose of it all ( acoustic guitar ... and a touch of bass and distortion ) - Lyrics

Oh fucked up, fucked up me
I dont wanna feel blind to eyes I see
I cant sleep the worlds on me
I would die of the poison ivy

Ooh the rust 
Holding us
Do i need to trust
Or do i need to hush

My mind is feeling loud
Theres no chilling out

Dead I presume
It was high noon
No one cared to bat an eye no one saw the fumes
No ones making room for the body in the tomb
I know all the answers and they all lead to doom

Oh fucked up, fucked up me
I dont wanna feel blind to eyes I see
I cant sleep the worlds on me
The worlds on me

I watched the world kill me slow prod. michael harrison

I MADE UP THIS SONG, EVERYTHING COME'S FROM YOU
NOW THAT YOUR GONE, THERE'S NOTHING TO HOLD ON TO
AND ALL THE REASON'S, THEY ALL TURN TO ASH
NOW ALL THE SEASON'S, ALL COME IN ONE DAY

I MESSED UP OUR LOVE, MESSED UP MY WORLD WITH YOU
IT'S TAKEN SO LONG, TO HOLD ON TO SOMETHING NEW
THERE'S ALL THE FEELING'S, AND ALL THE BURNING CASH
NOW ALL THE SEASON'S, ALL COME IN ONE DAY
AND ALL THE REASON'S TO SAY, I HAD TO LET YOU GO

(BREAK)

I LOOK BACK ON LIFE, I HAD NO CONTROL OF YOU
NOW FEELING ALIVE AND NOTHING TO HOLD ON TO
AND ALL THE REASON'S, THEY ALL TURN TO ASH
NOW ALL THE SEASON'S, ALL COME IN ONE DAY

IF I HAD MY TIME AGAIN
I WOULD NOT SURLY BE CALLING YOU MY FRIEND,  NO

THERE'S ALL THE FEELING'S, AND ALL THE BURNING CASH
NOW ALL THE SEASON'S, ALL COME IN ONE DAY
AND ALL THE REASON'S TO SAY, I HAD TO LET YOU GO

Ashes is the age old story of falling for the wrong one, told in Code Red style....

Code Red - Ashes

I am a freestyle metal / alternative rock artist and heavily influenced by 80s music in general. 

The link below is a COLLAB with Chris Schlue - Industrial / Electronic / Speed / Dark Metal vibes ... really enjoyed writing the lyrics and doing the vocals - Big Thanks to Chris - CHECK OUT  Programmed Minds

https://soundcloud.com/chris-schlue/programmed-minds

I do have an excellent drummer on my corner who blasts the beats and with whom I compose the tracks.

THEN

In Gaza / Ukraine / Russia and the rest of the conflicted world, people die - day in day out, we as a human race could care a bit more.

The raging wars serve as a catalyst for the lyrics in most of the existing and upcoming songs. It seems that killing each other is the only way forward as written in the lyrics on the song - The Violent Ones. 

The human suffering is beyond belief, it needs to END now. War Metal as I see it, is to write lyrics about the insanity of war and not to forget those who died ... 

These are some of the dark layers of life

TAPATORA name has multiple meanings. It is an ancient name for a male that was mainly used in Finland. It is also the name of an island near Tampere and if you translate it in English, it means kill the quarrel / dispute / wrangle.
