Reworking of an earlier song ("Gaslighter"), to turn it in a less angry, more hopeful direction:

My friends, this is my message
This is my song of hope for you
If you are there, if you're listening
Do not play the fool

Now if you feel like you can't take it
If you feel like you're alone
I'm here to tell you, we can make it
And you are not, not alone

So be strong, do not falter
A heart's not something they can own
Tell them, "this soul will not be altered
So you may as well go"

You guard your mind, and they can't have it
All they've got are sticks and stones
They will fail, and they will wither
And they will fall, one more domino

So stay strong, do not falter
A heart's not something they can own
Tell them, "this soul will not be altered
So you may as well  ...

Be strong, do not falter
And that's not something they would know
When these hearts cannot be altered
Then they, they will go

A Song of Hope

Here you will find little acoustic pop songs; melancholy, dreamy-folk things. Sometimes some jangly, fuzzy rock tunes or ambient pieces as well. Work-in-progress demos to finished tracks, informal playlists to official album releases. Enjoy.
