Shadows Whisper

LONELY DAYS ARE HERE AGAIN LONELY NIGHTS
NO MORE JOY NO MORE PAIN OUT OF SIGHT
SITTING IN MY GARDEN, MAN, A ROBIN FOR A FRIEND
PLENTY OF SUSPENDED TIME ON MY HANDS
NOW I’M HERE HERE AND NOW
THAT’S WHERE I STAND
ROCKING IN MY ROCKING CHAIR
MADE OF AIR

LONELY DAYS ARE HERE AGAIN LONELY NIGHTS
NO MORE BALLS NO MORE CHAIN WELL ALRIGHT
SIPPING AT MY ICE COOL BEER THE ROBIN FOR A FRIEND
NEVER MIND THE BITTER END IN THE END
NOW I’M HERE NOW I’M HERE
NOW I’M HERE 
AND HERE TO STAY
CHECKING THE PALM OF MY HAND
MADE OF SAND

LONELY DAYS ARE HERE AGAIN LONELY NIGHTS


NOW I’M HERE NOW I’M HERE
AND HERE I AM
HERE COMES THE CHILL OF THE FALL
MADE OF GOLD

LONELY DAYS ARE HERE AGAIN LONELY NIGHTS
WITH A BROKEN HEART TO MEND 
AND A ROBIN FOR A FRIEND
NOW I’M HERE

Dear Reader, 

Not all songs must exist on the grid. This song has no click track and therefore, it breathes. As a result, nothing was quantized. It's real playing and real performances. I hope that you can hear it. 

Of course,  the song was multitracked (I played and sang everything, so it had to be) and since there was no grid, I had to listen and react to make it gel.  I hope you consider what I did a success. 

Thanks as always for coming back to listen to more of my music. In the past four years I have produced more than 140 original music videos and I have gained 800 subscribers. This is only the beginning. I have much more music to write, arrange and produce, and I am thankful for every listen. 

Respectfully,

Walkin around, it's once a year
Knocking on the Door, livin in fear
Taking sweets, from the people they meet
Thats the idea of trick or treat

Halloween, Halloween
I don't care,  what you have seen
Halloween, Halloween
The faces out there, will turn you green

Walking Around, With a face mask
Scary Voices, it's a hard task
Shadows Whisper, In the dead of night
knocking on the door, seeing a light

Halloween, Halloween
I don't care,  what you have seen
Halloween, Halloween
The faces out there............

Every time i see the night
It always gives me a fright
I dont think i'll be there tonight

Halloweeeeeeeeeeeeeen,  halloween
Halloweeeeeeeeeeeeeen,  halloween
Halloweeeeeeeeeeeeeen,  halloween

Halloween (with Lyrics)

Perhaps this was always like this

Consequences 
Lives destroyed 
Foreshadowed at the start
No Hobgoblins to blame
Enough to squash your heart
Threshold Juniper 
Nature's mean
Purify me please 
Worldwise Holloween 
-------------
No Hobgoblins to blame
Enough to squash your heart
Threshold Juniper 
Nature's mean
Purify me please 
Whole world Holloween 
Threshold Juniper 
Nature's mean
Purify me please 
Worldwise Holloween

Holloween

I personal story of a boy and his brother.

Hello Brother

Run Quietly * Instrumental

This is a song about being a brick in someone else's game and ending up hurting the most of everyone for it!

it's also a song about redemption and facing past difficulties, accepting them, and going forward with life with more experience!

This acoustic song is dedicated to everyone who's been used for other peoples pleasure and being fouled into a game you don't actually know you're in.

I think more than a few can relate to that and, therefore, also hear some recognition in this song.

Lyrics -

Is that all you have?

I’m just uploading the others now sir.

Where am I?

Come with me

Where’s the other guy that was with me?

Don’t worry he’s here
There’s someone who wants to meet with you both

Welcome to our humble abode
Won’t you make yourselves at home?
I’m sure you’ll understand there are some rules you need to know
Protocols that must be followed

Now you’re here we’re gonna look after you
So never leave this place, unless with a group
And never speak a word that’s less than the truth
All our members have been carefully chosen
So you can trust in every word that gets spoken
We only tolerate the honest and open
Don’t trust anybody outside these walls
You must speak of this place to no one
You mustn’t jeopardise this work that we’ve done
And you must share with us all that you’ve seen
There’ll be no secrets once you’re part of this team
Only together can we fight to be free

Now you’ve been acquainted with our laws
I trust you’ll see they’re similar to yours
We have much to discuss but not today
Take a rest for now enjoy your stay

The Ninth File

"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 .
