Won’t Get In

this song is made for someone so special in my heart 

For My Love

Originally titled "Nasty Sht Hell Solutions,"* the album has been rebranded as "Lana Ember Rivers" to mark Ember's explosive debut. These tracks showcase her raw, unfiltered artistry, blending intensity, rebellion, and hauntingly poetic lyricism into a groundbreaking release.

Lana "Ember" Rivers delivers a scorching collection of tracks in Ashes and Anthems, an unapologetic dive into the depths of chaos, resilience, and raw emotion. With lyrics that cut like shattered glass and melodies that burn with primal energy, this album is both a battle cry and a hauntingly beautiful ode to the darkness within.

From blistering anthems of rebellion to haunting ballads of inner turmoil, Ashes and Anthems captures the duality of destruction and rebirth, making it a must-listen for anyone who craves intensity in its purest form. Lana's fiery words and electrifying delivery cement her place as a true visionary in modern metal.

Prepare to let the ashes settle and the anthems rise.

Atomic Shadows (Version 2)

A song I wrote about a dad watching his daughter grow up and about to leave. Although he would love her to stay,he knows that's impossible. Having three daughters - I know what it feels like firsthand ! :) 

I guess it could be about man woman relationship ending, but not what I intended.  Hope you like it.   Frank Michels is the musician that recorded it for me.

here are the lyrics and chords as I wrote it:

Verse 1
[Am] You can’t chain down the [G]whistling [C] wind
You can’t [Am] break a promise [G] made through thick or [C] thin
You can’t [Am] stop the changing [G]of the ocean [Am] tides
And you can’t [C]touch the stars [G] up in the [C] sky
.

Verse 2
.
[Am] You can’t stop a raging [G] river from flowing [C] on
You can’t [Am] rush the night [G] or a morning [C] dawn
 You can’t [Am]grab lightning [G] from a thunder [Am] cloud
And you can’t[C]  stop the years, they [G] won’t slow [C] down
.
Chorus
.
[F] I know that she’ll be leaving soon
it's in her [C] voice, I see it in her eyes
[F] Gotta let her go, I gotta let her go, oooh
 I’ve [G] never liked to[F] say good[C]bye
no, I’ve [G] never liked to[F] say good[C]bye


Verse 3
.

[Am] You can’t drink wine [G]from an empty [C]glass
You can’t [Am] go forward ‘til you [G] let go the [C] past 
You can’t [Am] hide from  yourself [G] or truth you [Am] see
And you can’t [C] tame a heart yearning [G]to be [C]free
.
Chorus
.
[F] I know that she’ll be leaving soon
it's in her [C] voice, I see it in her eyes
[F] Gotta let her go, I gotta let her go, oooh
I [G] never liked to[F]  to say good[C]bye
no, I [G] never thought I’d [F]have to say good[C]bye
.

Verse 4
.

[Am] you can’t cage a bird that’s [G]meant to [C]fly 
You can't [Am] stop a dreamer [G]reaching for the [C]sky 
you can’t [Am]  get too close to a [G] raging wild [Am] fires  
And you can’t [C] hold back a [G] heart chasing de[C]sires 

Chorus
.
[F] I know that she’ll be leaving soon
it's in her [C] voice, I see it in her eyes
[F] Gotta let her go, I gotta let her go, oooh
It’s[G] so damn hard to [F]say good[C]bye
yeah, It’s[G] so damn hard to [F]say good[C]bye

Outgo
. 
no, I’ve [G] never liked to[F] say good[C]bye
no, I [G] never thought I’d [F]have to say good[C]bye
{ real slow}
yeah [G] it’s so damn hard to [F]say good[C]bye

Gotta Let Her Go

"i love a man that fights for love. this man just wants to know what it is that he needs to do. he messed up somewhere and realized that he was about to lose his girl, so he wants to know all the things so he does not do it again. he wants to make right and just wants her to tell him, like when they were friends and first learning about each other." ~ SheRocks

That Man is a beautifully honest reflection from the heart of a man trying to rebuild. Written on June 14, 2005, it’s not about perfection—it’s about asking, listening, and becoming the one who knows how to love better.

“I love a man that fights for love… Please describe him to me... I can be that man.” These lines are the quiet, courageous heartbeat of someone learning to come back to relationship with intention and vulnerability.

If you’re drawn to music that honors the journey of growth, hearing your own efforts to do better—this one’s for you.

~~~ That Man ~~~

Baby, slow down and stop
Take a deep breath
Tell it from your heart
Close your eyes and talk
That's the only place to start
Don't let it end
Sit me down, look me in the eye
Don't yell it – tell it like a friend
Help me understand
Tell me cuz I want to be that man

That man in your dreams
Who makes you smile in your sleep
Who when you were 8 you wanted to marry
When a kiss on the cheek meant "for keeps"
That innocence of love
That man you dream of
That man I can't see
Please describe him to me
Stop and take my hand
I can be that man

I know I've caused fear
Yea there is no doubt
There have been a lot of tears
I know you want out
You think things can't change
there is a different route
I want to go there, be that man
Baby, take my hand
Help me understand
Show me how to be that man

That man in your dreams
Who makes you smile in your sleep
Who when you were 8 you wanted to marry
When a kiss on the cheek meant "for keeps"
That innocence of love
That man you dream of
That man I can't see
please describe him to me
Stop and take my hand
I can be that man

When I look in your eyes I know
That is a love that can only grow
And when I felt your hands I knew
I was meant to be touched by you
Take my hand now
Help me understand
I want to be your man

That Man
