Song writing at its best Jim. A good set of lyrics; a simple but effective tune and very well performed.

This is so cool to listen to.... so many possibilities and choices in the lyrics, intent vocals, and liking the guitar solos. Hahaha, you're like me insofar as almost being unrecognizable when I shave. I used to sell my produce to local chefs here years ago.

yep, i can...you are a great singer songwriter. things that gave me an extra tickle me up. the splashes and light mists of piano. the single cymbal/shuffles. the fab bass groove. top drawer lyrics and vocals. and you are/were a chef. i worked in a kitchen for 10 years. in the summer i would sit in the oven to cool off.... would have been even worse for you in the Aussie summer.

A very cool reflection Jim, of questions that repeatedly invade our minds. A very nice musical arrangement. And I share Jonathan's thoughts....I want this on the radio every day. ;)

Cool! Awesome guitar sounds! 🎸🎸🔥🎵

The vocals fit the mood very well and add depth to the track. Wishing you a calm and lovely Christmas time! 🎶❤️🎶

Daily Drops

I saw a video of a catfish eating a pigeon that had come to drink water on the banks of the Seine River that runs through Paris. From the catfish's perspective, it's easier to eat an unsuspecting pigeon than to go to the trouble of chasing a small fish. The TV commentary said, "Humans build cities, and nature acquires new adaptations." The number of bears in Japan has become so large that they are coming down from the forests into urban areas and attacking people. Global warming has made Japan's summers harsher, depriving us of the opportunity to enjoy the autumn leaves in our beloved forests.

90_ Grandbrothers II Dance (inspired) - released on 11 November 2025

Finally, the time had come and I got to see the Grandbrothers live. At Huxley's Neue Welt in Berlin on 6 November 2025, they presented themselves in a very dance club-like manner. And I was immediately inspired to create this next tribute track. Enjoy this classic dance! 🕺

The morning sunrise brings a light to my eyes
Chases all the shadows from
The corners of my mind

Good things come to those who wait
Wait a minute, I’m hanging up the phone
I’m hanging up

My evening drive stuck in a line going nowhere
Feel frustrated, hoping I might 
Make up some lost time

You say what’s good for you is good for me
But that aint good for me

The day just drags on
How can hours be so long?
Time just moves so slow when I’d rather be somewhere

Make You Wait

revenge is a primitive vile trait that is also unfortunately prevalent and powerful.It causes senselessbrutal violence, that in the end solves no problems and creates a recurring cycle of more violence. The notion to avenge ones ancestors I suppose has to do with a sense of guilt if you "do nothing" but I think you can forgive for the sake of creating a peaceful future for your children without forgetting the qualities of the ancestors or acknowledging their worth.

lyrics

what is revenge worth if no  one's left standing
what is revenge worth if your home is now rubble
what is revenge wort if your children are starving
causeing more pain just causes more trouble

your children are playing and need to feel safe
they have not yet learned how to kill or to hate 
for people who so long ago died
that when therirstories are told you can' tell the truth from the lies

you don't have to forget to forgive
give the children a chance to thrive and to live
do you understand!!

so put down your sword and put away your gun
go back to your store go back to your farm
remember the pain your ancestors caused
then go on with your life for your children and wives

teach the children how to forgive
to learn from the past so the future they build
will be on the right path
don't let the future look like the past

so what's revenge worth...

what is revenge worth?

this is a quickie I put together after a conversation with a mate ……….peace, and cheers for having a listen

Who I Am

is it a dog or a cat maybe a mouse could be a rat
is it a bottle or a can and let me know
who I am

is it a leaf or a tree is it the honey or the bee
dressed as mutton  could be the lamb please let me know
who I am

is it a highway or a road  could be a frog maybe a toad
Is it a fish or the clam  and can you tell me
who I am

Is it the ocean or the sea  is it a forest or a bunch of trees
was the daughter the son of Sam  and can you tell me
who I am

is it real or is it fake animal lover or beefsteak
reject the pig or eat the ham and can you tell me
who I am

Is it a spark or a flame is it mega or is it lame
is it old or secondhand and can you tell me
who I am

is it the singer or the song roll a joint or stoke the bong
breathing water or walking land can you tell me
who I am

is it a skirt or a pretty dress  scent of a woman or mans flesh
did she swim or him that swam and can you tell me
who I am

was it the chicken or the egg was he a she that said
life ever after is just a sham  but I can tell you
who I am

Is it X or is it Y real musician or ai
sperm donor or a happy dad and can you tell me
who I am

Who I Am

(No GenAI inside. I use my voice and VST instruments on my songs)

I tried to talk to my piano
I tried to talk to my guitar
Talked to my imagination
Confided into alcohol

I tried and tried and tried some more
Told secrets 'til my voice was sore
Tired of empty conversation
'Cause no one hears me anymore

A hundred million stories
And a hundred million songs
I feel stupid when I sing
Nobody's listening to me
Nobody's listening

I talked to shooting stars
But they always get it wrong
I feel stupid when I pray
So why am I praying anyway?
If nobody's listening

Anyone, please send me anyone
Lord, is there anyone?
I need someone,
Anyone, please send me anyone
Lord, is there anyone?
I need someone

I used to crave the world's attention
I think I cried too many times
I just need some more affection
Anything to get me by

A hundred million stories
And a hundred million songs
I feel stupid when I sing
Nobody's listening to me
Nobody's listening

I talked to shooting stars
But they always get it wrong
I feel stupid when I pray
Why the fuck am I praying anyway?
If nobody's listening

Anyone, please send me anyone
Lord, is there anyone?
I need someone,
Anyone, please send me anyone
Oh, Lord, is there anyone?
I need someone

Oh, anyone, I need anyone
Oh, anyone, I need someone

A hundred million stories
And a hundred million songs
I feel stupid when I sing
Nobody's listening to me
Nobody's listening

****We have decided to link the song to a fundraising campaign. All proceeds and donations related to the song will go to a UNICEF project that supports children in the war-torn regions of Ukraine. We appreciate every contribution to the project, whether big or small. Thank you for your support!

 “The Greatest Gifts” is a Christmas song about everything you can’t wrap: closeness, kindness, friendship, and the people who make life a little brighter. The project has been in the works since summer. It all began at the end of June, when my good friend Mike Fox and I first talked about the idea. 
The beautiful lyrics were written by Andrea Brennan, and from there it slowly grew into an international collaboration with many wonderful singers, each bringing their own voice, character, and warmth. 

After all, the greatest gifts aren’t the ones under the tree – they’re the smiles, the helping hands, the shared laughter, and the moments that connect us.

Watch the video on YouTube. You can also see all the singers there:
