WAITING FOR THE RAIN

And the vines abide
And lean on old familiar ways
From Hadrian to the Satellite Empire
You can feel it in your soul
Standing on Dryhill
You can feel it in your soul
Standing on Dryhill

The hidden lines and lives
Walk their natural time above the plain
From hill fort to the bunkers underground 
The hill can quicken up your pulse
Standing on Dryhill
You can taste it on your breath
Standing on Dryhill
Looking from Dryhill
Waiting for the rain 
Waiting for the rain

Aeons old and yesterday
In a scintillation (Standing on Dryhill)
A breathless moment under 
The curious twinkling stars (Standing on Dryhill)
The water moves beneath us
It moves below the ice

(below, be-low)

A long-gone, summer swift scream
The hill is not dry
The vines do not wither
Rippling the waters of our many lives
The heart of the hill 
Beats on
Pushing the sleeping rabbit to awake and run (run, run, run)
Seize the seasons
Hang the reasons
In a thousand years the hill will not remember us or its many names…
Our heads boiled, eaten down to the white bone

And the vines abide
And lean on old familiar ways
From Hadrian to the Satellite Empire
You can feel it in your soul
You can feel it in your soul
Standing on Dryhill
Standing on Dryhill
Waiting for the rain
Standing on Dryhill
Looking from Dryhill
Looking from Dryhill
Waiting for the rain
Waiting for the rain

Standing on Dryhill…

Not Like Me | Emotional Cinematic Music |

O its sooo early
the sun still covered up
and this sandy lane I take to the shore
feels like silk and satin...in the patches
'neath a fadin' moon
to bed he'll be traveling
...my still wet hair swings lightly when I glide
its momentary weight upon my breast 
til it goes wide
to sting my ribs
a whip to chap my side
yea
and...O
so I must pause to plait this child
this chapping whip...so wild
yea
...my still wet hair 
as this devil may care...
swinging lightly when I glide
yea
a whip to chap my side
O shiftin' sand like a cobra stroke
pushed along 'neath a breath of hope
the tide comes home...
a companion, well known
this breath to shake the sun
a windy horn is blown
O
...my still wet hair swings lightly when I glide
its momentary weight upon my breast 
til it goes wide
to sting my ribs
a whip to chap my side
yea

Title:
COSMIC SEDUCTION
__________________________________________________________________
[Verse]
Tantra touching deep connection
Soul seduction's secret selection
Reeling in the find you caught me
Cosmic wind set me free

[Chorus]
Levitating straight for you
Nothing left could break this view
Gonna get it can't you see
All our worlds in ecstasy

[Verse 2]
Fingers trace a map uncharted
Hearts entwined where love just started
Kisses light as air electric
In your arms I'm so connected

[Chorus]
Levitating straight for you
Nothing left could break this view
Gonna get it can't you see
All our worlds in ecstasy

[Bridge]
Eyes lock on desire's flame
Burn so bright it's not a game
Every touch a new dimension
In your love my sweet ascension

[Chorus]
Levitating straight for you
Nothing left could break this view
Gonna get it can't you see
All our worlds in ecstasy

Little Steps, Big Lessons

Time moves, and the boy grows. The father watches with pride and a bittersweet ache as his child learns, falls, and rises again. Each small moment, scraped knees, bedtime stories, teenage silences, becomes a mirror reflecting lessons the father never knew he needed. The song captures the sacred exchange between generations: how a father raises a son, only to realise he was the one being raised all along. It’s tender, humble, and deeply human, a portrait of love through the lens of time.

🤟🏼Working on new patterns and techniques in composition, production, and performance of both instrumental(classical/acoustic guitar) and voice- pieces are built (loops and beats)..on BandLab @nyla_k00  and Soundtrap (new)

I have removed the (amp) tag for consistency in distribution- acoustic pieces I perform will be tagged as ‘acoustic’ (apologies for page reorganization)

TBH, I aspire to be a guitar 🎸 but I’ll settle for being able to play competently what I hear when I write...(one day, Alice...to the moon)

I study under Duncan L. Wood and am grateful for his guidance and patience. Most of my influences are Folk/Blues/Indie, but inspiration arrives in many forms so HT to Hip Hop, Rap, Classical, especially Chamber trios. Current tracks are first cuts and I may update them in the future with cleaner versions, thank you for listening as I learn.
