The Tick And The Tock

I dunno how much more I can take
This media that feeds us must be constipated
'cause they're full of shit
Every word that they spew is just lie after lie
And it's brainwashing you
Into mindless foot soldiers
To help them control us
To force us to do shit
They know ain't good for us
Turn you against us, the ones that you love
If you open your eyes you'll see your sisters and brothers, come on

No need to run, no need to hide
They will not make us lose our minds
We're gonna make it through the night
To see the light
No need for guns, no need to fight
They will not crush our souls tonight
We'll relish victory in time
Hold the line

I'm trying but it's getting so grim man
Each day I'm getting closer to just pulling the pin
And I don't like this person that's hiding within me
He's the person that I've spent my whole life trying to not be
I don't wanna hate, I was brought up to love
I'm tryna stay true, but I'm feeling the shove
But I won't let them break me 'cause I owe it to you
To stay strong for us both until you see it too, now come on

No need to run, no need to hide
They will not make us lose our minds
We're gonna make it through the night
To see the light
No need for guns, no need to fight
They will not crush our souls tonight
We'll relish victory in time
Hold the line

They're tryna break us down
To divide us is the only hope they have
They're tryna break us down
All we need to do is pull together and we win

No need to run, no need to hide
They will not make us lose our minds
We're gonna make it through the night
To see the light
No need for guns, no need to fight
They will not crush our souls tonight
We'll relish victory in time
Hold the line

Hold The Line

Oh, stop staring at he sun
It's blinding everyone
Turn towards the shade
And you might see what's going on
Adjust your focal lens
Engage your common sense
When you find reality
Be sure to share it with your friends

It's us not them

You're not the one to blame
They've played a blinding game
But now they've overplayed their hand
There's desperation in their pace
Let them know you know
Find your stolen voice
Don't ever let them think they
Have the power to take away your choice

It's us not them

It's us not them

Don't forget this my friend

It's us not them

Don't forget this my friend

It's us not them

Don't ever forget this my friend

Us Not Them

====SNOW HILL===
================

How are you doing my old friend? Are you good?
I said I'd get to see you in the end!
I'm on the train, it's leaving right away yeah!
It's crowded as we speak, but that's OK.
======
Gathering speed - transported back to the last time.
Recalling how we laughed - just like it was yesterday!
Where did we get up to with putting our worlds to rights?
(In our own way!)
Meaning to ask the one question on my mind!
======
This is rural overload! 
I'm counting sheep and narrow boats
Red Kites are hanging in the breeze
But I can't imagine snow!
People nodding in their sleep
Papers fold and mobiles beep
Can't distract me from the peaceful thoughts I keep.
======
How are you doing my old friend? I hope you're good!
I'm on my way to see you like I said.
======
Decreasing speed as buildings increase further up the line
It's called progress!
It's what to expect when Mother Nature's undermined.
======
Concrete's closing in on me
Crowds of people - signs to read
This is urban overload
And what's happened to the snow?!
You fight taxis in the street
And I walk so fast - you're just in reach
Take me where I can see some trees!
 Oh! Please!
=======
How are you doing my old friend? You're looking good.
It's great to get to see you once again.
Nothing's changed and you look just the same.
So tell me, if you can - what's with the name?
All the way up to the hill
My expectations unfulfilled.
Let's get going anyway - there'll be no snow today! 
======
Oh! Yeah! 
And did you like that festival and I love your paintings on your wall -
But don't you know what happened to the snow? Where'd it go?!
So if you were an animal, what would you be? 
Oh! Come on! I need humouring! 
Forget the snow - it must have been a dream...just a dream!
Oh! And I like this car your driving round and what's this song your playing now? Sun or snow - does it matter anyhow?
Anyhow..........

Snow Hill

I start out so many days
Just like I'm ready for winding down
I shout out in fits of rage
Just as I'm chilling out
I got loose change falling out my pocket
I feel strange tonight
I can't walk straight, I've lost my balance
Now I'm taking flight

And I'm upside down
I'm the wrong way around
I'm upside down again

I've got throbbing veins
Tryna keep up with the rush of blood to my head
I've got muscle strains
Every morning as I wake up in bed

'Cause I'm upside down
I'm the wrong way around
I'm upside down again

'Cause I'm upside down
I'm the wrong way around
I'm upside down again

Upside Down

I'm done fighting
I'm done hiding
I'm done tryna find a way to evolve

I'm done screaming
I'm done shouting
I'm done with all this clowning around with my soul

I need a break from all of this
This constant ever growing mess
The piles of lies, their thin disguise
That fail to open sleeping eyes
I've banged my head against the wall
For longer than feels comfortable
So I drink until I lose my mind
Shut up shop, just for tonight

I'm done thinking
I'm done sinking
I'm done winking at my kindred friends

I'm done frowning
I'm done drowning
I'm dumbfounded, how the fuck does this end?

Will it ever end?

I need a break from all of this
This constant ever growing mess
The piles of lies, their thin disguise
That fail to open sleeping eyes
I've banged my head against the wall
For longer than feels comfortable
So I drink until I lose my mind
Shut up shop, just for tonight

Just for tonight

Just for tonight

Once your eyes are open wide
There's no escape nowhere to hide
No going back, no matter how you try
There was no red, there was no blue
Destiny planned this for you
It's always been , think back, you know it's true

I'm done fighting
I'm done hiding
I'm done tryna find a way to evolve

I'm done screaming
I'm done shouting
I'm done with all this clowning around with my soul

But I just can't let it go

Room 298

I was headed home thru Hattiesburg 
In an icy cold  December 
On a train: the Crescent City line
To my hometown for Christmastime

I was watching out the window
As the train pulled out into the snow
The western sky was glowing red
as the night turned purple overhead

Between the sunset and the evening stars
Planes were leaving long white scars
I’d given anything to be up there
Flying far away from here

That was years ago
The last time that I went home
Now I’d give anything to go back where I belonged

Oh, to walk down those familiar streets
In the town that held my secrets deep
To see the soft glow of the Christmas lights
In the windows around the old house of mine

To feel the warmth of Christmas from years ago
But things have changed so much I know
We all have gone separate ways
And it all feels so far away

Everyone I’ve known has come and gone
Friends and family that I depended on
That world is gone
And I stand alone 
I just want to go back home where I belong

If Christmas wishes did come true
I would have a million reason to 
Get back on the crescent city train
And start the new year home again

I just want to go back home

The Last Time I Went Home (Christmas 22)

Lyrics :-
Over the hillsides
And down to the lake
All across the valleys
The winter comes awake

Can you catch Jack Frost
As he hops upon the chimney pots
Can you catch Jack Frost
As he dances on the roof tops
Jack Frost

Reaching the city
The river he skates
Down to the arches
The icicles he makes

Can you catch Jack Frost
As he hops upon the chimney pots
Can you catch Jack Frost
As he dances on the roof tops
Jack Frost

All through the nightime
So busy is he
Even quicker by darkness
Were you awake to see

Can you catch Jack Frost
As he hops upon the chimney pots
Can you catch Jack Frost
As he dances on the roof tops
Jack Frost

Lyrics
﻿Night
I stand in the park
I'm listening silence

We stand in the plathome
we are listening noise of trams

It got dark
Birds fly home  

to roosts
I'm feeling noisy roosts

It's night
all goes dark

you are running around me
I am running around you
we make circle in the night....

I Only Dream Of You (At Christmas)

All about a busker braving the weather to do his stuff , something I have never tried and never wish to , too much like hard work ! The next one out on the 15th is my Xmas offering , I love Xmas NOT . Far too expensive , over in a flash and you're broke ! That picture could be me in a few years !

Let It Snow

Synesthesia is main motif for this song, first because of original lyrics, then as I felt like adding it more flavor with female vocals*, & finally when I recently watched some paintings about this matter**.

*Great vocal performance by https://soundcloud.com/maraoldfield is most notorious matter in this piece, where riffing parts toggle with bass-guided proggy ones.

**Due credits to https://soundcloud.com/wouwouandthewormling for ad hoc painting of the song’s artwork.

Letra  /  Lyrics:

QUIERO SABER SI HACE CALOR  /  I WANT TO KNOW IF IT IS HOT

En verano, insoportable,  /  In summer, unbearable,
todo está lleno de ruido.  /  everything is full of noise.
El invierno, silencioso,  /  The winter, silent,
que congela los sonidos.  /  which freezes the sounds.

No quisiera quedarme sorda  /  I don’t want to get deaf
sin saber cuándo hace frío.  /  not  knowing when it’s cold. 
No quisiera quedarme sorda  /  I don’t want to get deaf
para saber si hace frío.  /  so as to know if it’s cold.

Los días soleados  /  Sunny days
acompañan al estío  /  go along with the summer
y cuando llega el invierno  /  and when the winter comes
el cielo está oscurecido.  /  the sky is darkened.

No quisiera quedarme ciega  /  I don’t want to get blind
sin saber cuándo hace frío.  /  not  knowing when it’s cold.
No quisiera quedarme ciega  /  I don’t want to get blind
para saber si hace frío.  /  so as to know if it’s cold.

Break The Silence

Sunshine on my back.
It's beginning to decline.
It doesn't make me happy and looks not at all lovely.

We are living in the age of dusk.
The night is long and the dawn will be far.


Ruined civilization left one poetry to us.
We should begin to write it shortly, if someone will read.

The end will come calmly little by little.
I feel sunshine on my back.


The choirs singing uprose and filled the church.
The voice of prayer is drowning in the strong wind.


Sunshine on my back.
That shine is not strong anymore.
Looking for lost things, we wander in the town.

We've consumed all the things.
Whom do I say goodbye to?

Sunshine On My Back

That's the 8th track of our second album "Homemade music", enjoy :)

I was killed by the hand of a hit man 
sent by someone who wanted me to shut up,
two shots rang out in the night, such an awful sound,
were enough to send me laying on the ground.

But I'm not shutting up, thanks to this pre-recorded song,
I keep telling my version of the story, though I'm definitely gone.
Greetings to my family and friends, they must go on without me
but for now I'm able to stay down here in the grave, and yet say hi.

I'm thinking about the story of the so many people 
whose lives they risked to lose, in loving of the truth.
These are real leader.

There's no honour in dying, you know,
the honour is staying alive.

Forever December

It's just another day
caught myself staring through the window shades again
the world looks plain, so ordinary..
It's always December in my head

won't you sing me a song? 
I'd like to sing along with you
Let's go somewhere new~
Just pack up and leave the life we've led

Just another day, but no..

It's just another day
spent staring out the window shades instead
the sky looks pained, so cold and gray
Forever December in my head

Forever December

WHEN EVERYTHING IS RIGHT - Nakedverse Ft. w/TTP/J/BEB/DE

When Ren and I decided to create another song, we initially thought about creating something soft and ethereal.  Then I had an idea, to create something more upbeat…and to Ren’s credit, she went with it.  Before long, we had created ‘Northern Lights’, a track that is anything but soft or slow.  I am so, so proud of what we created here and hope you like it as much as we do.  Watch the video at https://youtu.be/qy9dXOplY08

You can hear more of Ren’s work at https://soundcloud.com/renfaye-1. 
Her lyrics are shown below:

I saw you everywhere...
In the colours that you write
In the blizzard surrounding me...
in your ultra violet light

Millions of beautiful,
Magical, intrinsical,
Making me feel like...
Making me feel like..
High voltage electricity
The atmosphere inside of me,
From the soul so bright,
The northern lights..
The Northern lights..
The northern lights..

Shimmer in the night

I saw you everywhere...
In the colours that you write
In the night 

Making me feel like
Making me feel like
In the night

Shimmer in the night
I’m with the Northern Lights

Shimmer in the night
Shimmer in the night


Making me feel like
Making me feel like

Shimmer in the night

For the lockdown challenge by Guy Michelmore

Mountain Mist (lockdown Challenge) By The Turtle Project

"The Turtle Project" started out as exactly that, a project, a songwriting project that was born from years of being a musician in many bands, doing countless gigs, naturally gathering experience and inspiration until, one day, I stumbled upon the fact that I could actually put those experiences and many others into words. The composing aspect grew from that into what it is today ...
My way of life .
