Ballad emotional haunting love retrospective piano driven 

* We can all get somewhat complacent in family, life, love, marriage, relationships, work. Key is to recognise it and act with thoughtfulness in all aspects. * 

Duet with voice from Joy
Lyrics by Sas 

[Verse 1] [ Male vocals ]
She said we used to dance,
 in the kitchen late
Now we just shuffle past,
 the dinner plates
She said we used to laugh ,
at the smallest things
Now silence fills ,
the space where it used to sing.

[Prechorus]
Is it fear or is it ease?
That keeps us locked in this routine.

[Chorus]
Complacency
It’s creeping in.
A quiet thief
A soft-spun sin.
Is it love?
 or just a cage we’ve built?
Complacency,
The weight of guilt.

[Verse 2] [Female vocals ]
He said the couch remembers,
 more than we do
Familiar grooves,
 where the dreams withdrew.
He said the mirror shows a stranger’s face
Where did the fire go?
Where’s the grace?

[Prechorus]
Is it comfort or just delay?
Why do we choose to stay this way?

[Chorus]
Complacency
It’s creeping in.
A quiet thief
A soft-spun sin.
Is it love?
 or just a cage we’ve built?
Complacency
The weight of guilt.

Complacency

I was de-mixing the vocal tracks of this piece so they can be exported as stems.

During the process , I removed all of the strings from the arrangement and thought it sounded interesting just as piano and vocals, which was how I originally intended to cover the song. 

I thought I'd release it here just in case anyone was interested in a little peek behind the curtain, under the production to the bare bones of piano and vocal. Oh, and I left a little Timpani drum and crash cymbal in the mix, too. 

I added some high piano melody where some of the strings sat. 

All piano parts were performed on my Nord Stage 3 with a sustain pedal and a little  Valhalla reverb. Enjoy.

Writing's on the Wall Stripped

This song is my future self at ninety, speaking back to my present self. It’s raw, intimate, and soft-spoken — like a truth only time can reveal. Where "Don’t Be Me" (https://on.soundcloud.com/HDgZa4Mt4Sy1GVqfg) was my plea to the five-year-old me to hold on to her fire, "Voice at Ninety" is the continuation — the perspective of a woman who has lived it all, looking back with clarity and love. It’s about recognizing that even as the body ages, the spirit doesn’t fade, and the fire inside still burns. It’s a reminder not to save your song for another day, not to fold or disappear, but to live fully and love fiercely for as long as body and mind allow. This isn’t just advice to myself — it’s a message for anyone who has ever wondered what really matters when the years catch up: love, truth, and the courage to keep your voice alive.


LYRICS: 

[Verse 1]
Hey stubborn woman, hands still scarred,
You’ve carried battles, you’ve walked through dark.
But don’t let silence steal your fire,
Don’t bury truth beneath desire. 

[Pre-Chorus]
The mirror may crack, but your spirit won’t break,
Every scar on your skin is the proof you create. 

[Chorus]
So live loud, live true,
Make the world make room for you.
Don’t save your song for another day,
Sing it now before it slips away.
I’ve seen the end, and I swear it’s clear —
What matters most is love while you’re here. 

[Verse 2]
You held your tongue when you should’ve screamed,
You gave your time to the wrong damn dream.
Don’t let regret chain up your feet,
Forgive yourself and claim your seat. 

[Pre-Chorus]
The body gets weak, but the fire won’t die,
I’m proof you can roar when the night runs dry. 

[Chorus]
So live loud, live true,
Make the world make room for you.
Don’t save your song for another day,
Sing it now before it slips away.
I’ve seen the end, and I swear it’s clear —
What matters most is love while you’re here. 

[Verse 3]
At ninety I smile at the woman you are,
Bruised but burning, you’ve come so far.
Don’t chase the ghosts, don’t fear the fall,
You’ll find your wings when you give it all. 

[Bridge]
Write your rage on the sky, let your stories bleed,
Every loss was a fire, every wound a seed.
And I wouldn’t trade the pain I’ve known,
It carved the voice that’s all your own. 

[Chorus]
So live loud, live true,
Make the world make room for you.
Don’t save your song for another day,
Sing it now before it slips away.
I’ve seen the end, and I swear it’s clear —
What matters most is love while you’re here. 

[Chorus (Refrain)]
Live wild, live free,
Keep your heart where it’s meant to be.
Don’t fold, don’t fade, don’t disappear,
Carry your fire across the years. 

[Outro]
So if you hear me from the future call,
Don’t be afraid — you can’t lose it all.
Love’s the only thing that you keep,
I’ll hold it safe for when you sleep.

Voice at Ninety

Golden Horizon (Yellow)
A hymn to the earth as Tibet’s foundation – stable, wise, and eternal. The golden horizon shines with the timeless light of wisdom and tradition.


Golden fields beneath the mountain sun,
the earth remembers where we’ve begun.
Every stone, every grain of sand,
is the heartbeat of this land.

Golden horizon, steady and wide,
the spirit of Tibet will never hide.
Strong as the mountains, ancient and true,
the wisdom of earth is shining through.

Monks in saffron robes bow low,
their chants like rivers, steady flow.
The soil is sacred, the past remains,
a heritage carved in the veins.

Golden horizon, steady and wide,
the spirit of Tibet will never hide.
Strong as the mountains, ancient and true,
the wisdom of earth is shining through.

Through time and change, the earth will stay,
a guiding light, a golden way.
Nangsal Drolma, bright and near,
your radiant compassion is always here.

Golden horizon, steady and wide,
the spirit of Tibet will never hide.
Strong as the mountains, ancient and true,
Nangsal Drolma, we sing to you.

READING A LOVE LETTER

When we first started writing songs together we thought we’d keep it simple but found the allure of a full band sound too tempting to ignore. This song, about the destructive patterns we get locked into, is us fulfilling that original intention - just acoustic guitar, violin and vocals. The riff that underpins the song could have gone another way….that’ll be the next release.

La poudre d'escampette

Took VV's spoken word; did my beats and spices, and now I took my take to AI Music and messed about to get this take. I did feel  AI-Faust's touch on my shoulder and the portrait of me in the attic is ageing at on alarming rate ;-)

My friend Vigilant Verse drops these gems of poetry with a musical voice and panache that blows me away. I have taken his spoken word and added some beats and spices to be able to just enjoy his magic in new frame of reference. Hopefully I have done VV's words right. Cheers
