Lyrics by Mark Xenophontos 

------------------------

Little honey bee
Cherry picked from the tree
Sweet and deadly
That's what you are
Poison hiding
Behind every scar

Tied up in surrender
Gazing up to heaven
Can't remember what I'm fighting for
What am I fighting for

Honey and daggers
That's all you are
Honey and daggers
Gone too far
Sweet lies and violence
Deep in my soul
Losing myself
Losing control

Blood is in the air
Secrets everywhere
Hidden truths beneath
Your perfect skin
Let the chaos begin
Let the chaos begin

Greater heights mean nothing
When you drag me down below
To a world I didn't want to know
What did I want to know

Honey and daggers
That's all you are
Honey and daggers
Gone too far
Sweet lies and violence
Deep in my soul
Losing myself
Losing control

Jezebel come whisper
Sing your poison song
I believed your promises
But I was wrong
I was wrong
I WAS WRONG!
EVERYTHING'S WRONG!

Honey and daggers
That's all we are
Honey and daggers
Gone too far
Sweet lies and violence
Burning my soul
Losing myself
OUT OF CONTROL!

Just a ghost in the night
Just a ghost in the night
Honey and daggers
Just a ghost in the night
Just a ghost in the night
Honey and daggers
Just a ghost

My Dream Concert Opening: Life is the Win

“Another Play in the Old Playbook” is a raw outlaw protest ballad from Pick’s Hideaway Players. Gritty Appalachian Americana roots meet heavy jamband energy in this hard-hitting anthem about systemic lies, political cover-ups, and the high cost of truth. With a rifle echoing from the mountainside and a chorus that hits like a hammer — “Another play in the old playbook” — the song calls out the recycled scripts of power. Defiant, anthemic, and unflinching, this track insists: you can kill the man, but you can’t kill the flame.

While our catalog is primarily AI Assisted, Pick’s Hideaway Players is actively creating songs designed for collaboration with real musicians and live talent.
Each composition begins through AI-assisted composition and arrangement, but our goal is to bring these songs to life through authentic performance and local artistry.

Due to the scope and complexity of our catalog, not every track will have a live or studio-musician version.
However, wherever possible, we will continue to produce and release live musician interpretations of our core works — honoring both the technology that inspires them and the human spirit that completes them.

“AI builds the blueprint. Musicians bring the soul.”

Another Play in the old Playbook

From the deep, industrial heart of the city, "Ashes on Her Tongue" is a raw, intense track driven by a relentless rhythm. It's a confession—a brutal, honest truth that carries the weight of fire and loss. The song builds from a fragile whisper to a towering, defiant roar.

Ashes on Her Tongue

Beautiful rock song. Dedicated to memory of Zegretti Elena e Mazzocchi Alvaro.

A VOICE INSIDE

Thin man watches
Stretching through the trees
Eyes like hollow wells
No breath no breeze
He waits he waits
No footsteps no sound

Hat pulled low shadow grows
Whispered tales where no one knows

Shadows in the fog
They’re creeping, creeping near
Slender walks beside you
The Hat Man feeds your fear
Run, run but they follow
They’re always, always here

Black coat flowing
A void inside his stare
Pale hands reaching
Dragging you somewhere
You scream, you scream
But no one is there

Hat pulled low shadow grows
Whispered tales where no one knows

Shadows in the fog
They’re creeping, creeping near
Slender walks beside you
The Hat Man feeds your fear
Run, run but they follow
They’re always always here

AI doesn’t write my songs. I do – and the AI brings them to life, like a team of session musicians and sound engineers behind me.

Hungarian composer and songwriter exploring the future of music with a guitar, a voice, a phone, and a vision.

With 94–98% Audio Influence, the AI strictly follows my musical input. The songs musically and lyrically are completely and meticulously written on a guitar before I start work with AI. 

These tracks show what happens when you lead and control every detail of the musical production – and AI listens. From a simple game it turns into a smart musical instrument.

The songs are examples of early AI music production preserved for the future.
