what would you do, what would you do
If the stories they are true?
Where would you go if things got tough.
If the moment's nice, 
Try to keep it for a thrice times two.

Try to keep the power on
It's hard to make a plan about a subject you're unfamiliar with
living in the moment has some urgency
Oh can't you see?

Gambling is a strange addiction with a Roughish Reputation
Rolled hard sixes back to back to back
Got a hundred dollar tip
Made a momentary friend

Relentless Reluctance abounds
Inevitable Finality Surrounds
It's just on the edge a mile south of crazy
Where things get Hazy, and start to bend

I almost have no hope at all
But that's always when you get the call
Have you ever noticed that?

Waterfalls inside a bubble
Floating in a Cauldron in a Cave
Where three witches stir the pot
And cackle at a joke
About a bloke who thought he had the answer 
To a question
He couldn't even fucking formulate.

Hard Six

EDIT 23 April 2025 - I will not use any AI technology that interferes with the realm of creativity in human culture. And I will not support people who use such technology to deceive others by claiming authorship of compositions/songs/images created by generative AI.

WARNING - This is ENTIRELY A.I. generated song!!!

So... this is my first attempt at A.I. generated music. I tried this on www.udio.com. However, it is not completely created by me from scratch, but for this first time I've used it, I took a fragment of someone else's song, which stuck in my heart with its mood (I am an incurable romantic). I really regretted that it didn't have a beginning and an end, so... I generated my own. The track came out really awesome, so I've decided to share it with You. It really resonate with me... And now someone say that this A.I. generated music does not evoke emotions...

Here is the original from I've made my extension. 
https://www.udio.com/songs/qg79XfYiiHp2x8kgSyBkGa
Here is my extension on Udio, where You can see how in text field I've prompted A.I. to do what I wanted: 
https://www.udio.com/songs/smVu17fJngJTLVjdJLuUjf
And link to my alternative version which have I think really awesome ending: https://www.udio.com/songs/k6RtJUvcLzPtsNUcTUnTVi

Here is the list of songs I've found on Udio that are really great. It's worth to check out to have an idea, how good can be A.I. (guided by talented people) in music generation! 
https://www.udio.com/playlists/exHSspXpwQHSdce2rfA1QF

However, I still don't know what to do with this technology. There is no return to the state before it appeared, so we will have to live with it. But will I use it... I don't think so, at least not yet. For now I can't say its human influenced creation. Until they turn it into something like Crea or Leonardo, where a human influences every aspect of the work being created, or even gives A.I. directives on what it should look like, feeding it with your ideas, this is not the technology for me... Or maybe I don't know how to use it...

But time passes and sooner or later such technology will appear. Then we will be able to put aside our plugins and DAWs and create/generate whatever we dream of at the speed of thought  :)

The Rollercoaster

An old track, recorded in the beginning of the nineties, singing one of my father's many poems.

Este estranho poder, de que disponho,
de em imaginação vencer o espaço
e mergulhar no tempo, é como um braço
que me pusesse apenas onde me sonho.
Ele me leva atrás, depõe adiante,
em pretéritos tempos e futuros,
cruzando mares, rompendo muros,
como se nada houvesse de distante.
Na penumbra da sala, onde sentado 
numa cadeira quedo, só eu sei
as vezes que parti, e quanto andei
perdido no futuro e no passado.

Estranho Poder

Lay me down
upon the white table.
Administer your anesthesia.
Cut me open.
Dissect me.
Remove what no longer serves.

My inabilities mount.
My insecurities cloud.
Disassemble me.
Take me to the edge of the lake
and I will sink, numbly to the bottom
happy.

Kiss the mermaid.
The blood dilutes.
Eat my heart 
until I have no meaning.

They call my name.
The sound is distant.
I am not me.
I have ascended
to you.

Autumn Leaves

Enlace
---------------------
Created, then left here
just drifting through space
Our home, a blue dot in the void

We have nowere else to go,
no other place to call our home
This is our world,
precious world

...

We're trapped here, entangled
in the fabric of time
Our past, and our future entwine

We have no time left to spare
no other time to call our own
This is our time,
precious time

Cool step - 19-4-2025

A song a little sad,
That I wrote "like a child's dream"
To see the men of all countries join hands.
So that wars cease so that there will never be children born in cities where the bombings have annihilated their country.

Une chanson un peu triste,
que j'ai écrite "comme un rêve d'enfant "
de voir les hommes de tous pays se donner la main.
pour que cessent les guerres afin qu'il n'y ait plus jamais d'enfants qui naissent dans des villes ou les bombardements ont anéanti leur pays. 

TROUBLE 

(LENA:  Darbuka et Coeurs) https://soundcloud.com/user-262019520
since people suffer
is what you hear ?
I will not stop there
I will raise the white flag
has arm strength
still believe

children of silence
everyday violence
yours questions are without answers
Men don't understand
you look at us with hungry eyes
a future of a day
hard to forget
when you have nothing more.



TROUBLE 

Puisque souffrent les peuples
vous n'entendez pas ?
je n'en resterai pas la 
je vais hisser le drapeau blanc
à bout de bras
à force d'y croire ( bis )


Enfants du silence
violence au quotidien
tes questions sont sans réponse
les hommes ne comprennent rien
tu nous regardes avec des yeux avides
d'un futur, d'un lendemain
difficile de faire le vide
quand on a plus rien.
