Love the bluesy edge you bring to this Todd

just from seeing the choice of song here, I knew this would be great if you dared to tackle this song! Yup. I was right! damn fine work sir.

A super version of this song - a great arrangement and a fantastic vocal performance. Terrific!

Magnificent rendition. Some things can’t be described, only felt. This is one of them

Such a brilliant song, not at all easy to cover but you've achieved it in style here, Todd.  Very special vocals, my friend!

This gets better every time I listen...there are covers and then there are covers but this is as good as they get.  Stunningly brilliant, Todd.  Just noticed you created the cover art too - you're an exceedingly talented man, my friend!

Awesome singing, superb song, great text, ... everything <3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3

Very soulful. I love your vocals so much. This is an awesome cover!

They Won't Go When I Go (Stevie Wonder/Yvonne Wright)

No more lying friends
Wanting tragic ends
Though they do pretend
They won't go when I go

All those bleeding hearts
With sorrows to impart
Right here from the start
They won't go when I go

And I'll go, where I've longed,
To go, so long
Away from tears

Gone from painful cries
Away from saddened eyes
Along with him I'll bide
And they won't go when I go

Big men feeling small
Weak ones standing tall
And I will watch them fall
They won't go when I go

And I'll go, where I've longed
To go, so long
Away from tears

Unclean minds mislead the pure
The innocent will leave for sure
For them there is a resting place
People sinning just for fun
They will never see the sun
For they can never show their faces
There ain't no room for the hopeless sinner
Who will take more than he will give
He will give, he will give
He ain't hardly gonna give, whoa yeah

The greed of man will be
Far away from me
My soul will be free
They won't go when I go-a-whoa

Since my soul conceived
All that I believe
The kingdom I will see
They won't go when I go
When I go, where I've longed 
No one can keep me from my destiny

Lyrics:

Another day, I'm running fast
Chasing shadows that don't last
Important now, or so it seems
But will it matter in my dreams?

Time slips away, like sand through my hands
Stress builds up, as life's clock demands
But in this race, what do I gain?
When all I feel is this strain

We're caught up in the moment's hue
(Moment's hue)
Forgetting what really matters, what's true
(What matters, what's true)
Wasting energy on fleeting things
While life's real melody quietly sings

Deadlines loom, notifications chime
I'm a slave to the present time
But years from now, will I recall
These urgent tasks, so pressing, so small

Breathing deep, I start to see
The bigger picture of who I could be
If I let go of the daily grind
And focus on peace of mind

We're caught up in the moment's hue
(Moment's hue)
Forgetting what really matters, what's true
(What matters, what's true)
Wasting energy on fleeting things
While life's real melody quietly sings

What if we paused, took time to reflect
On the path we're on, the life we select
Would we choose differently, rearrange
Our priorities, make a change?

We're caught up in the moment's hue
(Moment's hue)
Forgetting what really matters, what's true
(What matters, what's true)
Wasting energy on fleeting things
While life's real melody quietly sings

So let's listen close, to that gentle refrain
And find what truly eases the pain
(Eases the pain)
In life's grand story, not just today
What will matter, when we're old and grey?

What Really Matters

This is new take on a song that Rodolfo and I first worked on 4 years ago. He had always imagined it with fine saxophone and great backing harmonies and now that Continental Collision has a wonderful pool of talent to draw on, that has become a reality, thanks to Ce Mastro and Georg Boehme's beautiful contributions.
The song has been given so much more feeling and emotion.
Thanks to them and Rodolfo for believing that we could succeed  and thanks to all of you for listening.

A Stranger In Your Heart - Continental Collision featuring Ce Mastro & Georg Boehme

I don't know what I've done wrong?
I don't know why you have gone?
Though I hope some day,
When I whisper your name,
We'll be together.
But today's too soon.
When I think of you, I dream.
Yet still, I'm a stranger,
Yet still, I'm a stranger in your heart.

Sometimes I feel like a fool.
Never knowing whether you'll,
Give me hope some day,
Still I call your name.
We'll be together.
Is today too soon?
When I think of you, I dream.
No longer a stranger,
No longer a stranger in your heart.

A Stranger In Your Heart - Continental Collision (featuring Ce Mastro and Georg Boehme)

This song is based on a guitar lick that I'm playing for many years. I never made a song with it, until now. 

All instruments and vocals played by me, except for the tenor sax, it's played by my brother Erik
I hope you like it!
----

Well you know, that I know, that you know, what you want
and I know, that you know, that I want it too

Do we wait, for our fate to be determined for us
or can we steer ourselves in the direction that we want to go?

what is it we’re waiting for?
What is it that we are waiting for?

Our deepest longings, 
Can slowly turn into regret

Well  You know, that I know, that you know, what you want
and I know, that you know, that I want it too

What is it we’re waiting for?
What is it that we are waiting for?

Our deepest longings, 
Can slowly turn into regret
Let's not regret.

Regret

Lyrics: Written, performed, mixed and mastered by The Mysterious Decibel

Meet me at the water where the sun reflects the pools
Meet me at the portal where the gate reflects the ghouls
Because the day and the light,
with the dark and the night,
Are all just Yin and Yang,
Still in bed with the vampires cuz it's the only time they hang

So hurry up and say your vows cuz you might not make it back!
Before it gets dark
Before it gets dark
Put your last pieces in their final place!
Before it gets dark
Before it gets dark

Standing on the line in the middle call me Malcolm 
Branding what's mine a lot of friction give me talcum 
Not enough time
Not enough time

Cuz i just wanna unwind but don't call me a snake
Wanna leave it all behind because the past is mistakes
I just hope i venture somewhere where the sun reflects all across the lakes

So hurry up and say your vows cuz you might not make it back!
Before it gets dark
Before it gets dark
Put your last pieces in their final place!
Before it gets dark
Before it gets dark

Pull yourself together because we might not make it back
Before it gets dark 
Before it gets dark

So hurry up and say your vows cuz you might not make it back!
Before it gets dark
Before it gets dark
Put your last pieces in their final place!
Before it gets dark
Before it gets dark



Before it Gets Dark

I hope isn't an Omen....

J'espère que ce n'est pas un présage...

Rendezvous

Step into a lounge where time sways instead of ticks, where velvet voices glide over upright bass, and secrets are stirred into every drink. Club Midnight blends polished charm with a modern undercurrent — playful, mysterious, and heartbreak-slick. From flirtatious duets to torchlit ballads, each track captures a different shade of night: the sparkle of the first drink, the ache behind a final glance, the hush when the music lingers.

Dress sharp, stay late — your table’s waiting.

They Won't Go When I Go (Stevie Wonder - Cover)
