A flamboyant electric blues track offering a current political perspective on issues about being clear on vision, values and principles - writing them down. Then on reflection and comparison to the vison, values and principles, finding out that some current governance structures are completely out of whack, to the point that it is reasonable and accurate to describe some governments as: criminal organisations masquerading as democracy. 

Lyrics:

When you write it down...
Write it down...

Asked a simple question—what do we stand for?
Turns out no one's written it down before
Democracy, liberty, rule of law
Sounds quite nice... until you check the score

Words of meaning are set ablaze
They twist the script, while we're in dismay

When you write it down, write it down
All the deceit is revealed in the light
When you write it down, write it down
All the lies start raining down

Million dead in Iraq, all based on lies
Anti-genocide groups are now the bad guys
Peaceful protest gets you fourteen years
While war criminals polish their careers

Can’t name the group or I might get nicked
For terrorism—that’s how truth gets fixed
They made opposing genocide a crime
While funding it with your tax and mine

When you write it down, write it down
All the deceit is revealed in the light
When you write it down, write it down
All the lies start raining down

4AM raids, for writing to your MP
About some kids getting killed across the sea
But sell the bombs and that’s just foreign trade
Democracy dies when we’re all afraid

So here’s your constitution, neat and clean
Now measure what they’ve done against what it means
The truth’s so mad you’d think it was a joke
If kids weren’t bleeding beneath the gun smoke

When you write it down, write it down
When you write it down, write it down....

When you write it down...
Write it down...

Write It Down

Verso 1 / Verse 1)
Quiero decirte cuánto tú me das,
Since you came, I don’t feel sad.
Pienso en tus ojos, siento tu luz,
You’re the fire inside my blues.
(Estribillo / Chorus)
Caíste del cielo a mis brazos, amor,
You fell from heaven, my heart was reborn.
Te amo, te siento, estás tan cerca,
Corazón y soul – my vida entera.
(Verso 2 / Verse 2)
Tu voz suena a blues, suave y real,
Your touch is tender, sweet and wild.
Cuando me abrazas, el tiempo se va,
The night stands still when you’re by my side.
(Estribillo / Chorus)
Caíste del cielo a mis brazos, amor,
You fell from heaven, my heart was reborn.
Te amo, te siento, estás tan cerca,
Corazón y soul – my vida entera.
(Puente / Bridge)
Si cae la lluvia en la oscuridad,
Stay with me till the morning light.
Juro mi vida, mi fe, mi ser,
You are my home, my every prayer.
(Final / Outro)
Corazón y soul – tú y yo,
One heart, one song, one endless glow.
Te amo, te siento, estás tan cerca,
Forever my love – my alma entera.

Corazón y Soul – You Fell from Heaven

A new track I made. Cinematic indie-rock with hip-hop pacing and acoustic intimacy. I hope you like it!

Lyrics © Señor Barends

They're whispering promises, smooth as silk, 
With an architect's plan, clean and straight. 
“Oh, all will be well,” they say, 
Just follow the line, just trust, just wait. 
Each word a shelter, soft and round, 
Each one a stone they laid in the ground.

And she walked it, so certain, eyes on the goal, 
Didn’t feel the ground start to shake below her sole. 
Didn’t hear the quiet crack underfoot, 
Belief too strong, the sound too good.

She can’t tell you the moment the doubt first began, 
It never shouted, no, it just stayed low. 
A small, hard truth she can’t disguise, 
The only thing she truly seems to know. 
She keeps walking the line, not for belief, 
But 'cause turning around’s a price she can’t pay. 
Losing too much, losing too much to walk away.
Too deep in, too deep in to walk away!

The wall was filled with hope and denial, 
No thought nor time could break it down. 
No reason, no logic, no subtle trial, 
Only pain, sharp, sudden, through the crown. 
It didn’t ask her permission, 
Didn’t care for comfort or ease, 
Just took hold, a cold-fingered conviction, 
And brought her crashing down to her knees.

In its grip, the lesson arrives, 
What we don’t wanna know still survives. 
It waits for us anyway, it bides its turn, 
The truth ain’t gentle, it just makes you learn. 
The pain that cuts is the door itself, 
And it opens when there’s nothing left.

She walked her path, eyes ahead, 
Didn’t feel the tremor beneath her tread. 
Didn’t hear the faith begin to fade, 
Didn’t see belief start to decade

She can’t tell you the moment the doubt first began, 
It never shouted, no, it just stayed low. 
A small, hard truth she can’t disguise, 
It’s the only thing she truly seems to know. 
She keeps walking the line, not for belief, 
But ‘cause turning around means losing the day. 
Losing too much, losing too much to walk away.

She’s too deep in,  
Too far gone,  
Too much spent to turn around.  
Every mile behind her sighs,  
Every word still weighs her down.  
It’s not belief that keeps her moving,
It’s what she’s already paid.  
Too much to lose,  
Too much to lose,  
To walk away.

Too Much To Lose

We Burn What We Crave”

(Dark R&B / Neo-Soul – Du-Ansprache, sinnlich & gefährlich)

[Verse 1]
You walk in slow — like you already sinned,
The air still smells like her perfume on your skin.
I should turn away, but I pull you in,
‘Cause the lie feels softer than the truth again.

[Pre-Chorus]
Every breath you take is a dare,
Every touch says you don’t care.
You whisper “don’t tell,” — I swear,
but we both know, baby, I will wear this sin to bed.

[Chorus]
We burn what we crave,
and call it love in the haze.
You taste like danger in lace —
and I want you that way.
We burn what we crave,
our shadows kiss in the flame.
It’s beautiful, it’s insane —
we burn what we crave.

[Verse 2]
You say her name — and I smile too sweet,
Got poison sugar underneath my teeth.
You’re a curse, but you pray to me,
like I’m the only god you’ll ever cheat.

[Pre-Chorus]
We’re ghosts with a pulse tonight,
drunk on guilt, high on spite.
Every lie just feels so right,
and I’d do it again if you ask me to fight.

[Chorus]
We burn what we crave,
and call it love in the haze.
You taste like danger in lace —
and I want you that way.
We burn what we crave,
our shadows kiss in the flame.
It’s beautiful, it’s insane —
we burn what we crave.

[Bridge]
Say my name, but choke on it slow,
Let the guilt show where your halo used to glow.
I don’t want truth — I want control,
Let the fire be our only soul.

[Outro]
So come closer — one last sin,
Let the smoke write where we’ve been.
If love is death, then let’s begin —
we burn… what we crave.

We Burn What We Crave

Madness

A rhythmic, soulful groove that turns writer’s block into a dance-floor confession. Smooth vocals ride a warm, pulsing beat while the melody sways between vulnerability and uplift. Soulful, groovy, and irresistibly rhythmic — a track that moves your body while speaking to the creative struggle deep inside.

How to be saved!



I think I have freedom, no, no,
I’m really a prisoner to myself and the world,
An enemy of God and completely lost, yeah, I am.



I need saving - yes I do,
I need my dirty garments, new,
My sins need forgiving, I can’t deny,
Because of them - my Saviour died.



How am I changed?
How can I live?
How can I be saved?
what can I give?
I can give nothing,
He is faithful and Just,
To cleanse me from sin,
If only I trust!



I need to recognise,
My part in it all, that made Jesus die,
My sinful state, If I think I’m that good,
It’s just deceiving and only a lie,



I need to admit and just be real,
For my own sake and before Jesus kneel,
He is right, and my only King,
Who paid the price for my Sin,
That I should obtain eternal life,
And be in the book of life He will write.




How am I changed?
How can I live?
How can I be saved?
what can I give?
I can give nothing,
He is faithful and Just,
To cleanse me from sin,
If only I trust!



If you think you’re right,
And you’re a good person,
Just think, Ten commandments,
And think what you’ve done!



How am I changed?
How can I live?
How can I be saved?
what can I give?
I can give nothing,
He is faithful and Just,
To cleanse me from sin,
If only I trust!



Have we stolen?
Have we lied?
They’re just two,
for which Jesus died,



If we’re honest, we don’t measure up,
And to be brutally blunt, We’re all corrupt!
The word says  we all fall short of the Glory of God,
We’ll be outside Heaven - is that so odd?
If we surrender and love, our Lord Jesus,
We’ll be with Him, He’ll never leave us.
For ever and ever, for you and  for me,
We'll live on for ever -  eternally.

How to get saved!

Electric Shoes

THIS IS THE HOPEFIRE WAY

“1970’s Shimmer & Strings” is a warm, cinematic dive into the golden era of love-soaked disco-pop.
Every track glows with vintage soul — analog basslines, real drum shimmer, funky rhythm guitars, velvet-soft strings, and candlelit electric piano. The vocals lean into expressive, heartfelt male performance, carrying that Bee Gees / Elton John / early ABBA emotional punch.

It’s nostalgic but fresh, retro but polished — a little Saturday-night fever, a little midnight romance, wrapped in the signature Hopefire shimmer.
Think: smoke-lit dancefloors, soft brass swells, slow spins under a mirrorball, and that unmistakable 70s glow.

A love letter to groove, warmth, and real human emotion —
Electric Heart Presents continues… and it’s never sounded more alive.
