It's just a little bling, bling vibe to put a smile on your face 😁  

Bling bling

Dissolve

They gave me a plaque
and I gave them a shrug
Said I'd made it
but I still packed lunch in a mug

The mirror bowed politely
the inbox threw confetti
My name misspelled in bold
close enough to celebrate

I've got a title no one uses
a password I forget
My empire fits in folders
still waiting for respect

My paper crown bends in the rain
ink running down the royal face
Every rule I followed
spelled my name wrong anyway

But maybe that's the trick of it
meaning hides in the small print
The joke's on grand ambition
the punchline's in persistence

Because the crown is cheap
but it's mine
Cut from yesterday's plans
lined with coffee stains and time

It may not shine on stage
but it holds when the wind complains
It's proof I showed up
again
and again

My paper crown bends in the rain
but it catches the light just the same
Not gold
not perfect
but honest enough
Every crease is a story
every tear, tough

Maybe greatness was never loud
just someone staying kind
still trying
still around

We wear our paper crowns
the crooked, the flimsy, the proud
We wear them not for glory
but because we're still here
Still building something small
that somehow lasts

Yeah
Call it fragile
Call it foolish
but it fits

Paper Crown

“Trap Town” opens Dark Music For Dark People with a slow descent into the city’s shadow. A dark piano theme threads through the track, joined by distorted trumpet tones echoing like distant car horns. Wilt Flowers’ bass and Guy Stansfield’s clarinet weave counterpoints beneath Sticks Thompson’s restrained percussion, while Sonny Rhodes’ piano drifts between smoky melancholy and menace.

A haunting mix of dark jazz, doom jazz, and cinematic noir, Trap Town evokes the tension of deserted streets and flickering lights long past midnight.

For fans of: Bohren & der Club of Gore, The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble, Dale Cooper Quartet, Angelo Badalamenti, John Zorn, Cinematic Orchestra

“I’ll Be Closer” is a nostalgic journey into the moments we wish we could return to—when love felt simple, pure, and within reach. The song captures the quiet ache of missing someone who once felt like home, yet still holding onto the hope that distance, time, or circumstance can’t break the connection you shared.

Soft melodies and emotional lyrics pull you back into memories of late-night conversations, long drives, shared laughter, and the unspoken promise that you’d always find your way back to each other. “I’ll Be Closer” isn’t just about longing—it’s about believing that no matter how far life takes you, some hearts are meant to find their way back.

Ron Snyder sent Austin Grey some music (which happened to be for the verses) for him to come up with some lyrics and a melody. Austin came up with the lyrics, melody, bridges and repackaged it into this demo recording. He has a lot of soul in his voice.

Rust & Ashes - DEMO - (Austin Grey / Ron Snyder)

Ding, dong, ding, dong
Ding, dong, ding, dong
Ding, dong, ding, dong
Ding, dong, ding, dong
Ding, dong, Ding, dong

Bells in the air, nobody stares
Built to command, now background noise
Strangers walk by, faster than time
Signals and screens claiming our ears
Ding-dong, ding-dong, echoes prolong
As if they know someone is home
Once they gave names, marked what we claimed
Now they just mark seconds we spend
Ding, dong, ding, dong

Meaning on sale, memory stale
What we did once, we don’t do now
Stories collapse into the cloud
Archived as data, sorted for use
Bells keep their pitch, holding their niche
Not for belief, only for proof
Proof we were here, proof we agreed
Proof we once cared who we would be
Ding-dong, ding-dong, echoes prolong
As if they know someone is home
Once they gave names, marked what we claimed
Now they just mark seconds we spend

Merry on loop, hollow and true
Merry, because someone insists

Bells in the air, nobody cares
Still they persist, steady and bare
Not to remind, not to rewind
Only to ring without a cause
Ding-dong, ding-dong, nothing is wrong
Nothing is fixed. Freedom is that
History mutates, we improvise
We choose the rules after they break

Onward they sound, rootless and proud
Not tied to faith, not tied to place
Calling no home, needing no throne
Simply a tone carried by air
Ding, dong, ding, dong
Ding, dong, ding, dong
Future is loose, unknown and new
We build it strange, bold and our own
Ding, dong, ding, dong
Nothing is known, we write the rest
Ding, dong, ding, dong
Ding, dong, ding, dong
Ding, dong, ding, dong
Ding, dong, ding, dong
Ding, dong, ding, dong
Ding, dong, ding, dong
