In gratitude for all the people in my life

Never Alone

I decided to take another stab at creating a hopefully better sounding version of this song,  as it seems the message is relevant in these troubled times.  

I hope that heaven is a place where everyone can share the same space and  liberals and conservatives can exist in perfect harmony. Cause if you live a good life and you seal the deal and you end up in heaven how are you going to feel, if  when you get there there’s people who want to argue with you about politics
***
Why can’t we all just all get along
Why can’t we live and let be
Why can’t we all just all mind our own business
And agree to disagree
***
Will you let it go or will you keep on fighting even after your first Saint Peter sighting, or will you check the TV to see if there’s CNN or Fox News in Heaven. They had to pry your gun from your cold dead hand but now that you’re a soul in a spiritual land, will you still demand your second amendment rights to protect yourself in heaven.
***
Why can’t we all just all get along
Why can’t we live and let be
Why can’t we all just all mind our own business
And agree to disagree
*****
I hope that in in heaven you can eat real steak with a bunch of vegans eating meat that’s fake, as you pose for a photo with Jesus trying to re-enact that painting of the last supper.
If you bump into that undocumented guy who you sent back to his country will you look him in the eye. Will you tell he’s not welcome in the United States part of heaven?
***
All these people with extreme positions shouting to their hearts content
Like demented performance artists in a circus tent
They can try to push our buttons be we don’t have to let them
They can invite us to their party but we don’t have to show up.
***
Why can’t we all just all get along
Why can’t we live and let be
Why can’t we all just all mind our own business
And agree to disagree

Heaven 2025

True story: I socialized with a guy in the late 90s who had been in a mid tier rock band (redacted) in the late 70s/early 80s. After the fame, there wasn't any money, and he had a regular everyman job like me. He had great stories, though...
A slow burner blues with a smooth groove.
From the album: "Curiosities Of Outsider Art" (Sept 2025)

Lyrics:
I just hate that celebrity bullshit
I can smell it
From a million miles away
That's what he'd say
Right there, at the bar
Having a drink
Or 2
Or 10

A broken-down singer
With too many dreams
A broken-down singer
With too many screams
Up over
A heavy metal (huh!)
Double kick drum
He says: I've been on tour all over the world
I've  been to a lot of places
And I just love every place that I'm from
But, I could use 
A billion dollar blues
Billion dollar blues
A billion dollar blues...

I was restless
And I had stars in my eyes
Dreaming about the magazine covers
And the limousine rides
Having those women at my will
Taking all the cash out of the till
Some nights I  just stay up late
Thinking about it. 
Thinking about what could have been

And......
Then I walk in ...
To a room full of bitter Muses
With bad attitudes
And  short fuses
I could use
A billion dollar blues
Billion dollar blues...

Billion Dollar Blues

Korean Sunrise – Story:

She hadn’t slept. The city pulsed beneath her window—neon signs flickering like restless thoughts, traffic murmuring like distant waves. Seoul was alive, but she felt suspended in time, caught between yesterday’s weight and tomorrow’s promise.

At 4:37 a.m., she climbed to the rooftop. No destination, just instinct. The air was cool, laced with the scent of rain and jasmine tea from the corner stall below. Her breath formed clouds in the quiet, and for the first time in days, the silence didn’t feel empty—it felt sacred.

Then it happened. The horizon began to blush. A soft, golden light spilled over the skyline, brushing the buildings with warmth. It wasn’t loud. It didn’t announce itself. It simply arrived—like hope returning after a long absence.
She closed her eyes and let the sunrise touch her skin. No answers. No guarantees. Just the quiet promise that something new was beginning. 

The beat of her heart synced with the rhythm of the city waking up. And in that moment, she knew: the dream wasn’t gone. It was just waiting for the right light.

Korean Sunrise is the sound of that moment—fragile, euphoric, infinite. A trance of memory and motion. A reminder that even in the darkest hours, the dawn always finds a way.

I'm Walkin'

Dark electronic house dance track.
Imagine walking into a nightclub at night with sparse, bright lights but lots of sound energy, where cyborgs dance sensually in some corners.

A little bird fell there.
A black swift, frail and wounded,
Falled onto the sidewalk.

Its wings frozen, its heart frantic,
Searched in vain for how to fly.
And the world passed without seeing it...
But a gentle hand changed the fate.

Uccello, little beating heart,
In the hands of an angel with a child's heart.
She offered you a little water, a hope,
And you were no longer alone in the dark.

The young girl, with eyes full of light,
Saw in him a miracle on earth.
She held him against her trembling heart,
And the bird ceased to fear the wind.

She took him to a sweet refuge,
Where wings are washed clean of the storm. And in peace, lovingly cared for,
Uccello came back to life day after day...

Uccello, little beating heart,
In the hands of an angel with a child's heart.
She offered you a little water, a hope,
And you were no longer alone in the dark.

The seasons passed silently,
But in the sky a song arose.
A black streak split the golden morning,
And on a balcony, it came to swirl...

Uccello, free as the wind,
Come back to dance near your child.
She looks for you in the sky every evening,
Little swift returned from a nightmare...

And perhaps one day, in the heart of the pure sky,
He will come back to tell her: "I swear to you...
Your love gave me back the light,
And since then, I fly, proud and sincere."

Uccello ✨

English and French Lyrics :

Fall the night on my skin,
I’m sorry, I got everything wrong.
Night falls on the city,
Your silence, I’m going to a bad habit.

Intense love, tears forever,
Shift the wind on my life,
I remember and pray.
Slip love on my heart,
I want you and I die.
Intense love, tears forever.

In the shadow I seek your light, Each star speaks to me of you,
Memories dance in the air,
But without you, I’m not.
Intense love, tears forever,

Time passes, but I stay,
In this void, I am on a quest,
Of your breath, of your tenderness.
Intense love, tears forever.

Fall at night, but I’m waiting for you,
In this silence, I am a loser,
Your echo haunts me tirelessly, Intense love, tears forever.

Fall the night on my skin,
I’m sorry, I got everything wrong.
Night falls on the city,
Your silence, I’m going to a bad habit.

Intense tears forever...
Intense tears forever...

———
Tombe la nuit sur ma peau,
J’tai perdu, j’ai tout faux.

Tombe la nuit sur la ville,
Ton silence, j’pars en vrille.

Intense love, tears forever,
Glisse le vent sur ma vie,
Je me souviens et je prie.
Glisse l’amour sur mon cœur,
Je te veux et je meurs.
Intense love, tears forever.

Dans l’ombre je cherche ta lumière, Chaque étoile me parle de toi,
Les souvenirs dansent en l’air,
Mais sans toi, je ne suis pas.
Intense love, tears forever,

Le temps passe, mais je reste,
Dans ce vide, je suis en quête,
De ton souffle, de ta tendresse.
Intense love, tears forever.

Tombe la nuit, mais je t’attends,
Dans ce silence, je suis perdant,
Ton écho me hante inlassablement, Intense love, tears forever.

Tombe la nuit sur ma peau,
J’tai perdu, j’ai tout faux.
Tombe la nuit sur la ville,
Ton silence, j’pars en vrille.

Intense tears forever…
Intense tears forever…

INTENSE-LOVE 2

Bob Dylan's "Roll On John" is an elegy to John Lennon, inspired by a public minibus tour Dylan took of Lennon's childhood home in Liverpool in 2009. The song explores themes of fame, aging, and mortality, contrasting Lennon's tragic death with the enduring legacy of St. John the Apostle, another "John" who suffered but whose "light" shines on.
The Stanleys come from Liverpool and initialy made this cover from a jam session as John Lennon has always been a big influence.
The Beatles tour starts at a near by place called The Picton Clock and Dylan’s visit is well known here in Wavertree Liverpool. Our take on this song which is over 5 minutes may have a difficult time getting heard for obvious reasons. Recently it was pointed out that all the songs on Rubber Soul are around 2 minutes long. To get the full experience of this production it’s important to listen to the end. We hope you do that and enjoy the version. Kind regards The Stanleys : Ged, Ste and Tom. Peace…make music not war!
