Ashes of summer Vol. 3

The Storm

The only song in 65 years of writing where I have used the word "Darling".
The song started off as a collaborative project with someone who I met via a song writing magazine. Unfortunately, he had to return to France, to look after his mother who was ill. I lost touch with him and almost rewrote the whole lyric, which is why it stands as one-of-a-kind from me. That was in May 1981.
(30th to be precise), never tried to collaborate since. 
I upload this particular track, because I trie one or two little trick with the lyric and most of them were utilised by the AI to give me what I prompted for. So of course I got to like the way it came out. Hope it hits you  in the same way, thanks in advance for listening.

The Silent Search

Hold On

Lyrics:

You walk forever guarded
your eyes mistrust the light
Not every sound is danger
not every hug a fight

Not everyone comes to hurt you
not everyone carries hate
Sometimes a silent gesture
holds more than fear or fate

Not everyone comes to hurt you
Not everyone stares with hate
Not everyone seeks to bind you
Not everyone tries to break

You breathe like one defending
a blow that won’t return
Stillness can be an answer
though hard for you to learn

Not everyone comes to hurt you
not everyone brings despair
Sometimes a hand extended
holds more than harsh repair

Not everyone comes to hurt you
Not everyone stares with hate
Not everyone seeks to bind you
Not everyone tries to break

You hardened from the bruises
but not all hands intend
Some only want to linger
without the need to bend

Not everyone comes to hurt you
not everyone brings despair
Sometimes a hand extended
holds more than harsh repair

Not everyone comes to hurt you
Not everyone stares with hate
Not everyone seeks to bind you
Not everyone tries to break

Lower your guard—just for a breath
let the wind brush past your name
Fear may not leave overnight
but you might see peace... remains

The cave

Lyrics:

He walks the halls with blinded eyes,
Surrounded by the whispers he denies.
They bow, but smirk behind the veil,
Feeding him the poison of his tale.

He stacks his walls on hollow ground,
Each layer cracks, no solid bound.
The loyal know, but none will speak,
His tower climbs, foundation weak.

Mount all voids — build it higher,
Chase the clouds, ignore the fire.
Lay your seat on shifting sands,
Your kingdom rots beneath your hands.
Mount all voids — blind desire.

The jesters laugh behind closed doors,
The courtiers trade unspoken scores.
He cannot see, but feels the weight,
A castle doomed to suffocate.

He stacks his walls on hollow ground,
Each layer cracks, no solid bound.
The loyal know, but none will speak,
His tower climbs, foundation weak.

Mount all voids — build it higher,
Chase the clouds, ignore the fire.
Lay your seat on shifting sands,
Your kingdom rots beneath your hands.
Mount all voids — blind desire.

One stone more, the final breath,
The peak will crumble to its death.
They watch and wait, they’ve seen before —
The king will fall, they’ll close the door.

Blind...
Higher...
Hollow...
Fire...

Mount all voids — build it higher,
Chase the clouds, ignore the fire.
Lay your seat on shifting sands,
Your kingdom rots beneath your hands.
Mount all voids — blind desire.

Mount all voids

Law, Ravager of Evil

Welcome to my weekend

Lyrics:

I was a seed beneath the ground
waiting for signs from the sky above
No compass or map in my hand
but the sun gave me a silent plan

And I can give bread, I can give warmth
even when the world feels cold and torn
Be a grain that feeds, that lights the way
growing roots where love can stay

And I can give bread, I can give warmth
even when the world feels cold and torn
Be a grain that feeds, that lights the way
growing roots where love can stay

Shaped by frost and summer’s flame
patience carved my humble frame
Through the weeds and winds I grew
learning strength in what is true

And I can give bread, I can give warmth
even when the world feels cold and torn
Be a grain that feeds, that lights the way
growing roots where love can stay

Even when the soil is dry and bare
a fragile sprout can still declare
That from the dust, life will rise
with silent faith beneath the skies

And I can give bread, I can give warmth
even when the world feels cold and torn
Be a grain that feeds, that lights the way
growing roots where love can stay

And if they harvest me someday
may what I gave still find its way

Harvest

You walk forever guarded
your eyes mistrust the light
Not every sound is danger
not every hug a fight

Not everyone comes to hurt you
not everyone carries hate
Sometimes a silent gesture
holds more than fear or fate

Not everyone comes to hurt you
Not everyone stares with hate
Not everyone seeks to bind you
Not everyone tries to break

You breathe like one defending
a blow that won’t return
Stillness can be an answer
though hard for you to learn

Not everyone comes to hurt you
not everyone brings despair
Sometimes a hand extended
holds more than harsh repair

Not everyone comes to hurt you
Not everyone stares with hate
Not everyone seeks to bind you
Not everyone tries to break

You hardened from the bruises
but not all hands intend
Some only want to linger
without the need to bend

Not everyone comes to hurt you
not everyone brings despair
Sometimes a hand extended
holds more than harsh repair

Not everyone comes to hurt you
Not everyone stares with hate
Not everyone seeks to bind you
Not everyone tries to break

Lower your guard—just for a breath
let the wind brush past your name
Fear may not leave overnight
but you might see peace... remains

Lower Your Guard

In case you're wondering: I composed all the music myself. The melody came from my own voice, and I guided the AI to arrange instruments based on it. My goal is collaboration — to inspire real singers and composers to take it further. That’s what creation is truly about. I  see AI as a tool — not a replacement, but an extension of human creativity.

The message matters, the medium too. Truth, regardless of how it's expressed, always finds its way. So instead of complaining, evolve. Adapt. The future doesn’t wait.
