Sound Advice: Daniel Allan

Song inspired by Alex Warren.  Video & Song on YouTube (Boy by Tartan Flint)
Older Teenage boy struggling with his place in the world  and growing up.  Hear in his mind "you’re gonna make it boy".  This gives him motivation to succeed.  From worried beginnings to reaching for the stars.

New girlfriend comes around for dinner date and is surprised that boyfriend keeps dogfood in the fridge.  But it's a special natural dogfood.  She says  "but its still dogfood" they disagree, so he kicks her out and has dinner with his dog :)


You keep dog food in your fridge!

Only Shattered Hearts can Heal

“Ain’t No Cure for You” bleeds heartache and grit—a whiskey-soaked confession of love that won’t quit burning. It’s the sound of late nights, cold coffee, and prayers that never quite reach heaven. Every lyric drips with ache, but also with the stubborn devotion that refuses to fade. With smoky vocals, slow-burning guitars, and gospel-tinged harmonies, the song carries the ache of heartbreak turned holy—because some loves don’t heal, they just live inside you forever.

Ain't no cure for you (Remastered)

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
Touching your body
sets my nerves alight...
Heavy kisses on you honey, tasting that
sweet nectar, you're the goddess delight!
The way you got me, baby,
It's like Avalon's in sight....
Roaming around, all on the ground,
at the mercy, of my might...

[Pre-Chorus]
Is this a dissonant nightmare,
or a nirvanic dream....
Cause I feel lost in an ocean,
full of pleasure and scheme...
You’re holier than the stars
in the night, or so I deemed...
Lips whispering in my ears saying
baby can you make me scream...

[Chorus]
Take me beyond the high!
Cause I'm always just at the nigh...
Chasing that glow in your eyes,
my baby you could make the heavens cry!
Fire burning in the sky,
setting cause its due to die
Should we enjoy these
fading moments before paradise!

[Instrumental Break]
mmmm-nah nah na-nana yeah
mmmm-nah ah-nana la-da duh dahh
mmmm-nah nah na-nana yeah
mmmm-nah ah-nana la-da duh dahh

[Verse 2]
The taste of you lingers,
in the back of my mind...
Every move you make,
blurs the edge of time...
I’m drowning slowly in
your touch so divine...
Losing sense of right or wrong,
but it's starting to unwind...

[Pre-Chorus]
Is this a dissonant nightmare,
or a nirvanic dream....
Cause I feel lost in an ocean,
full of pleasure and scheme...
You’re holier than the stars
in the night, or so I deemed...
Lips whispering in my ears saying
baby can you make me scream...

[Chorus]
Take me beyond the high!
Cause I'm always just at the nigh...
Chasing that glow in your eyes,
my baby you could make the heavens cry!
Fire burning in the sky,
setting cause its due to die...
Should we enjoy these
fading moments before paradise!

[Instrumental Break]
mmmm-nah nah na-nana yeah
mmmm-nah ah-nana la-da duh dahh
mmmm-nah nah na-nana yeah
mmmm-nah ah-nana la-da duh dahh

[Bridge]
Lost in the haze,
finally getting out of your maze...
a fading moment before paradise
has got my mind in a daze...
Avalonic lights, breathing
through the distant night...
signify the small journey
before the end of light...

[Chorus]
Take me beyond the high!
Cause I'm always just at the nigh...
Chasing that glow in your eyes,
my baby you could make the heavens cry!
Fire burning in the sky,
setting cause its due to die...
Should we enjoy these
fading moments before paradise!

[Outro]
It's all just
fading moments before paradise!
feeling these
fading moments before paradise!
baby lets just enjoy all these
fading moments before paradise!

Fading Moments Before Paradise
