very nice song and title and image straight heat

chill time

This is a song about forgiveness. 

Years ago a friend's father had died. He was deeply upset because he couldn't bring himself to respect his father saying that he'd failed as a father. It was clear that he did not believe that his father had done his best. I said 'maybe not, but he probably did the best he knew how". That phrase made a difference to my friend and, perhaps, allowed him to look at his father in a different way. It stuck with me ever since.

This is also my story and possibly every parent's story. We all fail to some extent. We all could have done better and wish we had. But we all did what we knew to do. We can only hope that it was enough.

Verse 1:
We started talking about nothing at all
we shared a bit of something and I started to fall
A little bit in love I guess I answered a call
Made her more than a friend

So we got married in a rush of youth
Feeling so free, playing fast and loose
I always meant well you know that's the truth
But I stuffed it up in the end

Chorus:
Wish I could say that I did my best
But it's simply not true
I could have done a whole lot better
If I'd known what to do
I did as much as who I was at the time would allow
I'd like to think that whatever I did I did the best that I knew how

Verse 2:
We brought you home your mum and me
You entered our house turned two into three
So I went to work thought my job was to be
Bringing home big buckets of security

Who knew back then what a father should be
Who knew what a little boy or girl might need
I learned too late what I needed to see
More than anything you needed more of me.

Chorus:
Wish I could say that I did my best
But it's simply not true
I could have done a whole lot better
If I'd known what to do
I did as much as who I was at the time would allow
I'd like to think that whatever I did I did the best that I knew how

Bridge (omitted from this version):
That's not to say that I didn't try
That's all I ever did and that's no lie
If I didn't live up to the standards I had
I never thought that I was doing all that bad
The only life I've known has been in my own skin
I've never been the man I wish I'd been

Chorus:
Wish I could say that I did my best
But it's simply not true
I could have done a whole lot better
If I'd known what to do
I did as much as who I was at the time would allow
I'd like to think that whatever I did I did the best that I knew how

The Best

You might have looked around for help
And you don't know anyone 
Remember Jesus is your friend 
And He will not forsake you 

He said I'll be with you to the very end of your age
Stop crying 
Crying doesn't fix a thing 
Pick up your faith in Him 
No matter what you're going through 
No matter what the world has thrown to you 
Arise and rise look to Jesus 
And rise to Him today 
Look to Him today 
Though your father may forsake you 
Your brother may neglect you 
Your fellow countrymen may not see you 

Jesus won't forget 
But look up 
To the heavens 
He will do it for you 
He won't forget you 
He that endures till the end, He said shall be saved 
Arise and look to the heavens 
Look to Jesus 
And rise unto Jesus 
The author and finisher of our faith 
He won't forget 
He won't forget you

Die a Little is about those moments when you quiet down the learned morality and let a deeper voice speak, the instinct, the unconscious.
Sometimes it’s not the most righteous decision,
but it’s the one that saves you.
Sometimes, you have to die a little to fully live.

A SHORT PIECE FOR À CAPPÈLLA
Music by Overdrive
All voices performed by Mick Jimenez

This is my small contribution to the à cappèlla music genre. There is no AI here; everything was composed from scratch and in the old-fashioned way. The baroque fugue lessons taught by late Sister Xavier, a cheerful nun who was my piano teacher when I was nine, were especially useful here. 

All vocals were performed and recorded by the talented Argentine musician Mick Jimenez Barr, a baritone singer who also helped choose the best phonemes for this little piece.

In addition to being an exceptional singer, Mick is a bassist, guitarist, keyboardist, and fan of bands such as Queen, The Cars, and The Beatles. Check out Mick's pages on Soundcloud and Fiverr and listen to his unbelievable vocal performances:

Hope you enjoy the song.

A Short Piece For À Cappèlla

“Soul Hunt” is one of the most direct and visceral tracks on the album — a relentless vision of unseen warfare, where human souls are the prize in an eternal struggle between forces far greater than ourselves. Based on one of my oldest lyrics ever written, the song captures a world drenched in fear and metaphysical violence. Peace is yearned for but never found.

The verses paint a bleak picture: “It’s all over” declares one line; “Bloodstained icons weep in woe” ends another. These aren’t just poetic images — they’re cries from a world where fragile human lives are tossed into a cosmic battleground beyond comprehension. The music echoes this turmoil with razor-sharp, old-school thrash metal riffing, driving the message home with unrelenting force.

At its heart, “Soul Hunt” forms the eschatological core of the album — a dark framework where the sacred collides with the violent. The Latin chorus, “Libera me, Domine, de morte aeterna” (“Deliver me, O Lord, from eternal death”), taken from the Roman Catholic Office of the Dead, becomes more than a liturgical chant. It’s a desperate plea for endurance, for grace, for something to hold onto in the face of annihilation.

SOUL HUNT

A star fell blazing, torn from the sky,
Ghostfire flickers, years burn dry.
Lunatic echoes are tearing the spheres,
Behind steel gates, the enemy appears.

He winks at me with a hollow stare –
A pupil-less gaze, a frozen glare.
"Come with me," he speaks to me, "behold!
We'll walk in the void like the gods of the old!"

Bell tolls crash on the lead-gray land,
The last fires go out, lost in the sand.
It’s all over – we fade in the tide, 
abandoned island, fortress denied.

Life’s breath is stolen, I drink from the still,
degusting the wine that the ages spill.
Spare me, O Lord, from the hunter’s chase,
Grant me, O Father, a night of grace!

Libera me Domine
de morte eterna! 
(Deliver me, O Lord, 
from eternal death)

The forest echoes from the hunting cries,
Dark shadows creep where the lost souls lie.
A soul hunt is raging deep down below,
bloodstained icons weep in woe.

I Believe

A Lizzo/Beyonce collab vibe with a groovy yet sultry, laid-back R&B feel — taking aim at the manosphere and red pill podcast bros with velvet-smooth vocals and a hook that lingers long after the beat fades. It’s the cool, confident eye-roll every woman’s been waiting to crank up and put on repeat.

The Wrong Podcast

Nova Crisis

A stripped heartbreak ballad at 140 BPM, Cold Tea tells the story of a love falling apart in real time — the silence between words, the perfume that lingers, the way two untouched mugs can become witnesses to the end. Built around raw piano chords, subtle strings, and deep bass warmth, the vocal performance is intimate and cracked in the verses, then soars into chant-like hooks that feel both final and hopeful. A confessional piece where the smallest details taste like the end of the world.

Cold Tea

Locked Inside tells the story of dangerous attraction — a black heart cracked but still alive, trapped in its own cage. Dark tech house energy meets hypnotic vocals, looping the feeling of being unable to escape.
