=====================================
Exploring the magic of nothing to do.

It started out as a chord progression.  Walking down a street in Alice Springs I found the first line. Little by little it became this song.

Verse 1:
I’ve got a little bit of time on my hands
Quite unexpected not a part of my plans
But just the same I’ve got nothing to do today

It’s the kind of nothing that can fill all the space
That’s always been here surrounding this place
So full of busy that is constantly in my way

Chorus 1:
I could have started on a project or two
There were a million things that I could do
Instead I stumbled into something new... appreciation

Verse 2:
Look at the sky and there sits the moon
And wonder how it found its way back so soon
It's like its hardly even been away

I always knew there were stars in the sky
Tiny holes in the curtain- they're hard to deny
I didn't notice - there was always something in the way

Chorus 2:
How could I have missed it, it was everywhere
I didn't see didn't let myself care
But something stopped me - i discovered something rare ... appreciation

Bridge:
In these quiet moments i wonder what's true
Exploring the magic of nothing to do
It seems to me when I let myself be
I might dicover something new .. appreciation

Verse 3:
I can't explain how my life got this way
Why do i fill every moment every day
Life so very full there’s not enough room for me
When i finally saw the value of slow
The value of finally having nowhere to go
I got a glimpse of parts of life i could never see

Chorus 3:
Dont get me wrong i like the life that i've got
But it wouldn't hurt in fact it might help a lot
If Once in a while i opened my eye to see .. appreciation

Outro:
I’ve got a little bit of time on my hands
Quite unexpected not a part of my plans
But just the same I’ve got nothing to do
Oh... I got nothing to do

Searching for Happiness

Pour affronter le morne mois de novembre, nous vous proposons une chanson légère et sautillante qui parlera à votre âme d'enfant!
To face the gloomy month of November, we offer you a light and lively song that will speak to your inner child!
(PS In France , fairground carousels offer children the chance to grab a pompom. Whoever catches it wins a free ride!)

MICKEY 'S TAIL
In the cinema of childhood
one can get bored hard
But sometimes, a lucky moment—
A day at the fairground.
Raising and lowering the plane,
With an easy lever,
The precious rag in our hands,
And our eyes light up.

All our victories are trivial,
But what joy in that sensation,
taking oneself for the hero,
feeling like Santos-Dumont.
I grabbed the Mickey’s tail,
This time , I did it,
Snagged the Grail, the prize,
No more spinning in circles.

At the age of love’s parades,
Turning and dancing in discos,
All the dancers spinning round,
Looking to make a conquest.
beating around the bush
Awkward and clumsy,
when smiles finally meet,
 The ship can sail.

All our stories are temporary,
But what joy in that sensation,
feeling handsome in the mirror,
feeling like Alain Delon.
I grabbed the Mickey’s tail,
This time , I did it,
Snagged the Grail, the prize,
No more spinning in circles.

Life, it’s a true lottery,
The wheel turns and leaves us dizzy
Losers or superheroes,
We swing from laughter to tears.
But when I’m with you,
I’m five years old, I feel that joy
Of a child who’s struck it rich,
Who’s just grabbed the moon 

All our memories are illusions,
But what joy in that sensation,
Skipping alone down the sidewalks,
Feeling like Patrick Dupont.
I grabbed the Mickey’s tail,
This time , I did it,
Snagged the Grail, the prize,
No more spinning in circles.

Restoration -Combstead & Robert Grigg

Nobody is safe
(Nobody is safe)
When the clowns are in charge
(Yes, the clowns are in charge!)

What did you do last week?
(I worked till you got in my way!)
What did you do last week?
(Shut up and let me work today!)

Nobody is safe
(Nobody is safe)
When the clowns are in charge
(Yes, the clowns are in charge!)

What did you do last week?
(I worked till you got in my way!)
What did you do last week?
(Shut up and let me work today!)

Spent all day in status checks
Now you want reports on that?
Meetings, emails, wasted time
This ain't work - it's corporate crime!

What did you do last week?
(Did you breathe? Did you blink? Write it down!)
What did you do last week?
(Don't think, just type - your job's on the line!)

Nobody is safe
(Nobody is safe)
When the clowns are in charge
(Yes, the clowns are in charge!)

What did you do last week?
(I worked till you got in my way!)
What did you do last week?
(Shut up and let me work today!)

What Did You Do Last Week?

Winter

New Single By Edge Of The Void

I was raised where the streets ran slow 
Barefoot summers where the wild grass grew 
Back when the stars could still break through 
Before the city swallowed the moon

The lights got brighter, the roads stretched far 
The voices doubled, then tripled the cars 
They paved the fields where we used to play 
And built up walls that hid the day

So I packed my bags, left the static behind 
Chased the wind to the edge of the night

Where the sky runs wide and the roads turn to dust 
Where the wolves still howl when the night wakes up 
No towers to fall, no sirens to cry 
Just the wind and the trees and the firelight

Mama used to say, There’s room for dreams
Now the lines stretch longer than the eye can see 
We watched the homes turn cold and gray 
And I knew we couldn't stay

Met a man with a map in his weathered hands 
Said, Ain’t no place left untouched by man 
Told me, Run while you can, before they come 
Before the silence is overrun

Where the sky runs wide and the roads turn to dust 
Where the wolves still howl when the night wakes up 
No towers to fall, no sirens to cry 
Just the wind and the trees and the firelight

Maybe out here, I’ll learn to be free 
Find a home where the world still breathes 
Where the air is clean, and the stars still shine 
Far from the weight of a crowded mind

Where the sky runs wide and the roads turn to dust 
Where the wolves still howl when the night wakes up 
No towers to fall, no sirens to cry 
Just the wind and the trees and the firelight

Let the wind take me where I belong 
Where the world still whispers in an old, lost song

Firelight

The One

Entspannung & Ruhe 4

Dawning

Somewhere between light and shadow, music breathes: a gentle divide where emotion floats formlessly. Each piece listens more than it speaks, gently unfolding like a silent thought. Clarity flickers and fades, memory intertwines in ghostly echoes, and understanding arrives without light. This is the final threshold, tender and timeless, where the pulse no longer pushes, but simply is.
