After The Lies

“Just a Boy” is a haunting indie-blues track by Three Photons, crafted in response to a tragic local event. With raw vocals, analog warmth, and soulful instrumentation—including Jeff Roberts on bass and Andrew Borderick on B3 organ—the song captures the ache of senseless loss and the fragility of youth. Mixed with precision and emotional care, it stands as a sonic memorial: intimate, reflective, and deeply human.

A big thank you to Jeff Roberts and Andrew Borderick for playing on....."Just a Boy".

This sad and devastating local story has been on my mind for a long time.... I'm reminded about this tragedy nearly everyday as I run along the Mississippi Blvd and see the memorial.

Verse 1
You move like a summer breeze
There's whistling in the trees
You're always on my mind
You were just a boy
Don't leave me alone

Refrain 1 - instrumental and hum

Verse 2
You know I hate Christmas Eve
It brings me to my knees 
You're always on my mind
You were just a boy
You were just a boy

Refrain
How they took your life
What a senseless crime

Verse 3
You said you were going for a ride
But I didn't say goodbye
You're always on my mind
Don't leave me alone!

Refrain
Well they took your life 
by surprise
Such a senseless crime
Such a senseless crime

Verse4
And After all this time
I can't heal
and baby sometimes I can't feel....

Refrain
Yeah they took your life
Yeah they took your life
Such a senseless crime
Such a senseless crime
How they took your life
How they took your life
Such a senseless crime
Such a senseless crime
How they took your life

outro
You move like the summer breeze
and I hear you whistling in the trees....

Chill Spin (feat. Special Cecilia)

Solías decirme 
Que todo saldría bien 
Pero sólo mentiste 
Porque todo salió alrevés

Pero cuando me mentiste a mi
Tú también te mentiste a ti 

Róbame las ganas de morir 
Las ganas de rendirme 
Todo sigue igual 
Luego tú te marchas
Mientras la esperanza 
Hace que me vuelva irracional 

Y cuando vuelvas a mi
No quiero volver a verte huir
No quiero volver a verte

Solías decirme 
Que todo saldría bien 
Pero sólo mentiste 
Porque todo salió alrevés

Pero cuando me mentiste a mi
Tú también te mentiste a ti 
Pero cuando me mentiste a mi
Tú también te mentiste a ti 

Y cuando vuelva a ti 
No quiero volver a verte ir
Yo vivo a mi manera
Siempre estoy en una verdadera rebelión
Y se que cuando creas que es el fin
Estaré a tu lado siempre aquí 
Y seras mi primera 
Decision tomada con debida reflexion 

Disculpa las maneras
Yo vivo a mi manera
Disculpa las maneras que hay en mi
Yo vivo en rebeldía siempre aquí

Yo vivo a mi manera
Disculpa las maneras
Y serás mi primera decisión
Tomada con debida reflexión

Pink On Blue

I know u r hiding
Hiding in a mirror
I know u go Mad
Mad behind my Back

Pink on Blue

u got a pocket
a pocket full of stones
come on let them jump
jump over deep water

Pink On Blue

We know it all fake
But we dont care
Call it a shake
say its Not Fair

Pink On Blue

We left a message
Carved into our Skin
Stay in a cage
A safe place to live in

Pink On Blue

You know that I am hiding
Hiding in the Inside
U know i go mad
Mad on everything outside

Pink On Blue

The Stones in your Pockets
Keep Calming me down
Come on find a river
A river full of Stones

Pink On Blue - Westfront & Moon Dust

Hello my friends this is my new track  I hope you like it

In the Land of Autumn

I made this for my little sister; it's a string of cameos about the town where we were born and raised - a suburb of Newcastle Upon Tyne.  Low income, but real world, real people, real troubles, real joy, real love, real communities, real humour, real music, real life.  All in gloriously rough 1960's industrial working class North East England monochrome.

For those of you not from that part of the world, lyric translations back to English are available upon request. :)

Started as a scribble, pretended to be a poem for a while, then I decided to noodle along and then.....  Ah, you know how it is.....in Byker town.

Byker Town

Wallpaper of steam trains
Where the sweeping headlights sprawled
‘Cross the ceiling to the old piano
Up against my bedroom wall
In ‘67 the lid came down
Never played again so fair
I’m walking back to Byker town
I’ll meet you there.

Cross the bridge to get to school
Rope swings underneath
Bull’s eyes from the slaughterhouse 
Bombed out rail yard stark relief
Billy Smart’s big top’s coming down
But I don’t care
I’m walking back to Byker town
I’ll meet you there.

Stench of old men in the Raby Arms
A bottle of dog to take back yem
Dominos and baccy tins
Were all that mattered way back then
Every retail product to be found
In Ernie’s shop just six foot square
I’m walking back to Byker town
I’ll meet you there.

Quayside Sunday mornings
Champion, just the job
A week of meat to feed the bairns
For only fower bob
Scranshins from the chippy van ‘round
The side door of the Mayfair
I’m walking back to Byker town
I’ll meet you there.

Sent out on the Wednesday
In Charlie Shepherd’s finest rags
Over to the smokies
To get free broken kippers by the bag
Dad got paid when Thursday came around
Treats for us to share
I’m walking back to Byker town
I’ll meet you there.

Front step full of babbies
Grazed knees on skinny legs
Back lane rows of nappies
Her face is full of wooden pegs
He’s on the dole no work to be found
Torn bookie slips by his chair
I’m walking back to Byker town
I’ll meet you there.

Nets twitching down the road
Never washed in years
Kids with mucky faces 
Almost clean behind the ears
Never seem to have a frown
Owning only what they wear
I’m walking back to Byker town
I’ll meet you there.

Give up all the baggage I’ve got now
Of life in disrepair
I’m walking back to Byker town
I’ll meet you there.
