"Rocky Mountain High" is a song written by John Denver and Mike Taylor and is one of the two official state songs of Colorado. Recorded by Denver in 1972, it is the title track of the 1972 album Rocky Mountain High, and rose to No. 9 on the US Hot 100 in 1973. Denver told concert audiences in the mid-1970s that the song took him an unusually long nine months to write.[citation needed] On April 10, 2017, the record was certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America for sales exceeding 500,000 digital downloads.
"Rocky Mountain High" was primarily inspired by John Denver's move to Aspen, Colorado, three years before its writing, and by his love for the state. The seventh stanza makes reference to the destruction of the mountains' beauty by commercial tourism. The song was considered a major piece of 1970s pop culture and became a well-associated piece of Colorado history. "  Wikipedia

Emotions(Beat by Sakrafyce)

A moment of self-awareness when time is running out. A song of the past, from my past.

LYRICS
Horizontal rays of crimson disappear
And a breeze blows dust into my calloused mouth
And now, a visage like one I’ve never seen
A feeling, an image, a force
I know I’ll never live down

Head too woozy, I slip off my steed
Weak and wounded, steeped in scarlet’s rage
I stumble, bleeding, within and without
No clot can stop, no fear can steer me clear
Of where I now must go

My hemorrhaged past has caught up with me
I bite the bullet I should have bit long ago
Propped up against a boulder, my tombstone
“It’s over,” I mumble to myself
And to the great unknown

Here they come at last: my only friends
Word spreads fast; they’re decked in funeral black
Call me Buzzardbait, the Wayward Carrion
The sun pours down its heat, but me… 
Me, I don’t feel a thing

Borderline

Part:1
Das Leben ist ne kostbare Reise 
Doch leider ist sie Gottverdammt Scheisse/
Wie der Hoffnungs Schimmer im Doktor Zimmer bei Krebs Patienten/
Kein Glück als kind trotz Kleeblatt Essen
Spür den Rücken Wind er ist steht's am testen/
Der Kummer brennt, wie Augenlaser von Superman/
Tu nicht so als würds du meine wunden kennen/
Tausend Gläser zerspringen 
Dauernd tränen am Kinn/
Ich laufe und feg durch den Wind
Verlor die Seele als Kind/

Hook:
Ich will nur raus aus dem Scheiss 
Alles was ich will ist heilen/
Krusten gehen doch Narben bleiben 
Hab mir die Arschkarte abgezeichnet/
Zähle fleißig Fragezeichen
Leben oder sterben, was werden die Karten zeigen/

Part:2
das Ende ist nah
Ich beende den Tag/
Ohne Schlaf doch halte mich warm 
Füll gin in mein Glas/
Spür das finstere Grad
Es um schlingt mich wie garn/
Ich finde nur Qual 
Alles was ich seh ist nicht von dieser Welt/
Fuck das ist Krieg in meim head
Und ich fliege bald weg 
Hab alles Kriesen im tiefen versenkt/

Bridge: 
Ich ertrinke in Oakmont 
Meine sinking City 
Alles tot, ich liege bei den Fischen.

Hook:
Ich will nur raus aus dem Scheiss 
Alles was ich will ist heilen/
Krusten gehen doch Narben bleiben 
Hab mir die Arschkarte abgezeichnet/
Zähle fleißig Fragezeichen
Leben oder sterben, was werden die Karten zeigen/

Strong Tea
Inspired by «Strong Tea or Father» by Shao Qian, this song is written from the voice of a daughter learning to forgive herself for the distance and anger she carried during her father’ s final days. It’s not about perfect closure, but about finding a way to put the past behind. Forgiveness isn’t always clean—it’s slow, uneven, but real—the way a father would.

[Verse 1]
The taste stayed bitter
a child’s never forgets her first bruises
I kept the silence tight-lipped
blaming myself
for time that slipped away

[Pre-Chorus]
I was angry young and afraid
but that was never blame

[Chorus]
I’m learning to forgive myself
slow the way a father would
Strong tea in my chest
still burning still good
the past is gone
but it carried me on

[Verse 2]
I thought my anger was my sin
I thought my silence meant I failed him
but grief was too heavy
and I was still just a girl—
unready unwelcome

[Pre-Chorus]
If he could only see me now
I think he’d want me free

[Chorus]
I’m learning to forgive myself
slow the way a father would
strong tea in my chest
still burning still good
the past is gone
but it carried me on

[Bridge]
No child should wear a crown of shame
no daughter should swallow blame
even prayers for death were still prayers—
still love
still his way

[Final Chorus]
I’m learning to forgive myself
slow the way a father would
strong tea in my chest
bitter but understood
The past is gone
but it carries me on

My Guitar Is on Fire” is a haunting alternative rock anthem about a struggling guitarist’s midnight crossroads deal with a shadowy figure. Dark, cinematic, and guitar-driven, it blends blues legend with modern post-rock energy; explosive riffs, soaring vocals, and a chorus that burns long after the song ends.

My Guitar Is on Fire

Another song that, oh, what a novelty! is about me talking about myself. A bit solipsistic, I admit. In any case, the melody, deeply rooted in the canons of the oldest pop, is catchy and quite enjoyable, if you listen to it indulgently.

More or less

Hope you all enjoy this one - from the dark, twisted heart of TJ HaZy...
