Name: Long time trying by Juan Carlos Alquézar
Duration: 3 min 52 s
Description: A pop song with a bit of soul and a bit of blues about the complexity of human relationships, no matter how hard you try.

"Blitz" is a collaboration between Neil Cake and Zelestial Phyre. It uses noisy guitars and heavy drums to simulate the experience of a bad mushroom trip and what is known as "ego death".

Blitz (Neil Cake with Zelestial Phyre)

"Distanced" is a reflective ballad that captures the beauty and heartache of a long-distance relationship, drawing parallels with the infinite expanses of space, and the need for connection stifled by the realities of time and space. With spacey guitar tones and melancholic vocals, The Day Afters blend wistful lyrics with a modern indie sound. Perfect for late-night reflection.

Lyrics:
It’s the Distance - and the time we squandered, the days we found were- quickened.
A rhythm - as we break in two again, smash into ourselves - listen….   

If you want it - you get it - you get you let it go
When  you see it - it’s never what you’re looking for
You can dream - for more and more
What’s real is here, you feel it near - that’s yours

Absence - makes the heart grow fonder But my thoughts still wander - still with you
This system - demands you follow, Makes you swallow - puts us in this queue

If want it - you get it - you get you let it go
When you see it - it’s never what you’re looking for
You can dream - for more and more
What’s real is here, you feel it near - that’s yours

I Miss you - the earth is harder, the sun feels farther than it used to - and we’re just passing through

Trying to read you - I can't tell
Trying to reach you - No one’s there

Void Century

Distanced

My first DAW song!
I enjoyed very much doing this song?
Can you also enjoy it?

Under Pressure
In this world of expectations where success is a decree
All the pressure from everywhere can easily break you and me
Schooling us with numbers and facts, who care is’s breaking our backs
All the promises I must keep still hunt me in my sleep
In this circle of demands the pressure still expands

Education should be the key, but if the pressure breaks me?
What if I cannot break free?

You think when I smile I’m shinning so bright, but deep within there is a fear I can’t fight
All the pressure closing on me, expectations, how to be free?
How can I handle the wight before it is too late?
The obligations are so strong, where do I belong?

Success is what we strive for, but I wonder if there’s more
Expectations are everywhere,  all the pressure I have to bear

Under Pressure

lets be friends

A pop song with a bit of soul and a bit of blues about the complexity of human relationships, no matter how hard you try.

Long time trying

Lyrics:
Pao sam zbog poledice
Povrede i posledice imam
Nožnu kost slomio sam
Na rendgenu je upravo snimam

Koža svrbi pod gipsom
A češati nogu ne mogu
Zimska je hladnoća gadna
Grejem se a soba uvek  'ladna

I eto meni pride 
Još i prehlade
Usred ledene
Zime proklete

Tri se sline takmiče
Iz nosa koja će izaći pre

Poput vode sa slavine
Iz nosa brzo teku sline
Trudim se, al' ne stižem
Da ih pravovremeno obrišem

Ostavljaju tragove
Na košulji uočljive
U vidu zelenkaste
Fleke ružne lepljive

Iz nozdrve obe 
Vojnički jurišaju
Maramice bezuspešno
Otpor pružaju

U zluzavoj teškoj bici
Pobediše opet slinci

Slinci
Slinci

Oh,
Wait
Is it already that late ?
And we still hesitate
Let us concentrate…
Let ’s collaborate…
Yeah…
Seriously…
This is supposed to be
Just another love song
But
We cannot sort out heart from mind,
And that won’t be different this time

And with .4 k per second
Just spinning around ourselves

No giggling please…
Fasten your deep senses
This is a far flight
And it’s only one-way…

Let us concentrate - ah -
Here today
There is no escape…

No giggling please…
Let’s collaborate…
This is supposed to be
Just another love song
We won’t sort out heart from mind
And that won’t be different this time

And with 3,2 k per second,
Ahaa, ahaa…
Circling around the sun
Ohh,
No giggling please…
Fasten your deep senses
This is a far flight
And it’s only one-way…
It’s only one way…
One way-y-y-y-y-y-y-y…yeah…

- solo -

So many lovesongs have been sung
So why now again a further one ?
Because it must not be left undone
Cannot leave it undone
Cannot leave it undone…

Ohh,
There are turbulences

No joking please
There is trouble ahead
Hitting the unprepared -
Ohh, this is a hard way…

While we float
With some 30 k
Around the milky way
And other hundreds of k’s
Trundling other ways
Within a thousand days
That is quite a stray
Even if you don’t move a single hoof…

No giggling please
This is supposed to be another love song
No joking please
This is a far flight
No giggling please
This is a heart’s way
And it’s only…
It is only one way,
It is only one way…

Living with you is so sweet

Watching Simpsons on Twitch reminds me of the Foxtel/FOX8 days.

My own style of VGM. I remixed the music I released in the past. Thank you for listening!

I have an ongoing collaboration since 2018 with my friend Michael who lives in both Poland and LA. In the summer of 2025, Michael had a series of sessions with professional musician Avi on both guitar and vocals. I did production work and added bass. Beautiful stuff. This is a version of Leonard Cohen's "The Future".

I was born in 1963. I write songs since 1980, always as amateur. I just can't help It.

Long time trying
