I LOOK FOR YOU
(c) JunkHeap Apr 06 2022 / Remixed-Remastered May 2025

Sometimes the days wear me down.  
I'm looking outside,
see my reflection in the window.
Furrowed brow and worrying  
etching its lines.
   
The world it turns and burns,
seems like it'll always be this way.
Hope shines bright through the clouds, 
as we wish for a better day.

I look for you.
I see your face in the crowd. 
Her eyes call to me, 
and we meet and 
hold each other so close. 
I feel your warmth.
See the throngs of people
moving like a wake around us;
in the ordered chaos, 
we save each other from it all.

ch. / break

My pillar of sanity, is you.
I look for you 
to whittle away the time 
on this insane ride.
Laughter and I get you.
We're past the pleasantries.
So many great days behind,
so many ahead.
So many great days ahead.

I look for you.

I Look For You

Pacifico

Mexico is considered the most dangerous country for reporters outside a war zone. 14 journalists killed this year, and counting!

Dedicado a esos periodistas de México, y de muchos otros países, que han sido asesinados haciendo su trabajo, ya los que continúan a pesar de las amenazas de violencia!
Dedicated to those journalists from Mexico, and from many other countries, who have died violently doing their job, and to those who continue despite the threats of violence!

A special thanks to Ale Destiny, whose vocals added so much to this song. Listen to her latest song "Vincent" here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cfa7jjZoK0U&list=OLAK5uy_kwTdpzKWQbJ5Xm05Ok3ulGPmfAm_xv7s8

"La violencia contra la prensa en México no da tregua y en solo seis meses, lo que va de 2022, 12 periodistas han sido asesinados en el país, según el recuento de organizaciones como Artículo 19, Reporteros sin Fronteras (RSF), el Comité para la Protección de los Periodistas (CPJ, por sus siglas en inglés) y el que registra CNN."
(The violence against the press in Mexico does not let up and in just six months, so far in 2022, 12 journalists have been murdered in the country, according to the count of organizations such as Article 19, Reporters Without Borders (RSF), the Committee for the Protection of Journalists (CPJ) and the one recorded by CNN.)
― Rocío Muñoz-Ledo: 4 Julio, 2022, CNN Español

“No society can be free and fair without journalists who are able to investigate wrongdoing, bring information to citizens, hold leaders accountable and speak truth to power.”
― UN Secretary-General António Guterres

Journalists ... have been killed ... in a lot of places where hard rain falls. As readers or journalists, we honor them when we remember that their dying was not part of a plan to make the world cheaper, baser, or dumber. They died to bring us the truth.”
― Pete Hamill (journalist, novelist, essayist and editor)

Lyrics
Aunque sea esto lo último que escriba…. ¡No voy a rendirme!
(Even if this is the last thing I write... I'm not going to give up!)

In the freezer of my fridge
Waits an impression of my teeth
To identify my mutilated remains
If they hear you’re asking questions
See their names in big bold captions
There’s a deadly bullet waiting with your name …….. your name

Caught in the crosshairs of a nation at war
Trying to tell a story with one eye on the door
If they don’t like what you’re saying
You’d better get to praying
Cos only God could be your savior … now
Caught in the crosshairs of a nation at war

I’m married to death,
Hand in hand we stalk the streets
The camera clicks to capture the grisly trail
I try to find humanity
In this crazy, cruel insanity
I can’t tell if I succeed or if I fail …….. if I fail

Caught in the crosshairs of a nation at war
Trying to tell a story with one eye on the door
If they don’t like what you’re saying
You’d better get to praying
Cos only God could be your savior … now
Caught in the crosshairs of a nation at war

I’ve lost so many friends and colleagues
Shot or stabbed or hacked to pieces
By cops or gunmen from the narco
Leaving stains like scarlet day-glo
Craven silence in high places
Bought by money with no traces
No justice for those brave cold corpses
Lost in hard rain down in Juárez
Lost in hard rain down in Juárez
Lost in hard rain down in Juárez

Caught in the crosshairs of a nation at war
Trying to tell a story with one eye on the door
If they don’t like what you’re saying
You’d better get to praying
Cos only God could be your savior … now
Caught in the crosshairs of a nation at war

Lost In Hard Rain Down In Juarez (ft. Ale Destiny) 5 Stars/Highly commended rating in the UKSC, 2022

Today, I’m not worth it
because it seems if given purpose
I will take it too far
Radicals, they love to leave memoirs

Keys to ignition, turn it again
But the AC won’t turn on
Trapped in a furnace
Scratching my notes on the dashboard
That’s how they’ll find me
Dead in the lot at the top of Zabriskie, 
they’ll read

By now you have to admit 
though the world won’t change,
leaving it won’t set you free.
All the time spent alone
Turning selfish and old
Still the imprint never leaves
the heart and mind
I’m coming around now to the idea
I’m coming around now to the idea
that something better might just come my way

In the attrition of heat
Strapped in a leather seat
Are you finally satisfied?
Where the river meets its end
Evaporates and ascends
Like escapist dreams you kept
in heart and mind
anytime, anywhere, for anyone else

Zabriskie (soundcloud cut)

"Mike and Sergio have come up with a song that is long enough to relax into."
— Gerry Verdier (English language teacher, music critic, and occasional lyricist)

“As long as we are a single-planet species, we are vulnerable to extinction by a planetwide catastrophe, natural or self-induced. Once we become a multiplanet species, our chances to live long and prosper will take a huge leap skyward.”
— David Grinspoon (American astrobiologist)

One of the greatest challenges of traveling to another star has to do with the sheer amount of energy necessary to get humans to another star within their own lifetimes. Hence why some proponents of interstellar travel recommend sending spacecraft that are essentially miniaturized worlds that can accommodate travelers for centuries or longer. These “Generation Ships” (aka. worldships or Interstellar Arks) are spacecraft that are built for the truly long haul.
— Matt Williams (From Universe Today: Space and astronomy news)

“(With generational ships) … stuff breaks down. The second law of thermodynamics is unbreakable. You can't just put a closed system in space for a century and hope for the best. And either the planet at the other end is dead, in which case we'll have to spend centuries terraforming it, or it's alive, and its unseen assassins could kill us in a hundred ways. (In other words) … there is no Planet B."
— Chris Taylor (writing about Kim Stanley Robinson’s book Aurora) 

lyrics
Woke up this morning, (least I think it was;
it’s hard to tell out here in Space)
And looked at photos of the Earth way back when
All blues and greens and a happy face
That home today is stormy grey
Hot as hell, cold as clay
Stuck inside a tin can just like “Major Tom”
We seek a new world where we can all belong

Sailing out upon “Hope of Humanity”
To places only fate would make us dare … to go
Sailing out into the great expanse
To find and build a home out in a galaxy … and know
We’re there to stay … there is no elsewhere x2

On a journey longer than our lives
Where decades form one endless year
I stare at the dark and quiet immensity
All I sense is death, somber and severe,
no safe haven near

Sailing out upon “Hope of Humanity”
To places only fear would make us dare … to go
Sailing out into the great expanse
To find and build a home out in a galaxy … and know
We’re there to stay … there is no elsewhere x2

Woke up this morning, (the stardial says it is)
And thought about my parents back on Earth
It’s sad to think that I’m as good as dead to them
I wonder about our sacrifice … and what it’s worth

Sailing out upon “Hope of Humanity”
To places only faith would make us dare … to go
Sailing out into the great expanse
To find and build a New Jerusalem … and know
We’re there to stay … there is no elsewhere

I'm all for having a good time, I love to party, but look after yourself and those around you.

HARD LIQUOR WAS THERE TO TEST ME 
AN ANGEL WAS SENT TO BLESS ME 
THEN THE TIDE CAME IN, WASHED OVER EVERYTHING

MAMA COCA WAS OUT TO GET ME
TRIED TO LEAVE BUT SHE WOULDNT LET ME
PRAY THE WIND GETS UP N BLOWS AWAY EVERYTHING


DON'T LOOSE YOUR SOUL MY FRIEND
CAN'T REMEMBER ANTHING AFTER TEN
BRIGHT LIGHT DON'T WASTE YOUR LIFE AWAY
DON'T LOOSE YOUR  SOUL MY FRIEND
CAN'T REMEMBER ANY PLACE YOU'VE BEEN
BURN BRIGHT STAR LIGHT FIND A WAY

HARD LIQUOR WAS THERE TO TEST ME 
AN ANGEL WAS SENT TO BLESS ME 
THEN THE TIDE CAME IN, WASHED OVER EVERYTHING

MARY JANE WAS THERE TO GREET ME
IN HER ARMS I CHILLED COMPLETELY    
THEN THE CLOUDS CAME DOWN AND I FORGOT ABOUT EVERYTHING

DON'T LOOSE YOUR SOUL MY FRIEND
CAN'T REMEMBER ANTHING AFTER TEN
BRIGHT LIGHT DON'T WASTE YOUR LIFE AWAY
I SAID DON'T LOOSE YOUR  SOUL MY FRIEND
CAN'T REMEMBER ANY PLACE YOU'VE BEEN
BURN BRIGHT STAR LIGHT FIND A WAY

DON'T  LOOSE YOUR  SOUL MY FRIEND
CANT REMEMBER ANTHING AFTER TEN
BRIGHT LIGHT DONT WASTE YOUR LIFE AWAY

Lyrics

Hey Dave/Dan - Do wanna make some music  
Making music can be so much fun
Just hit a chord and away we go

Pound out a beat and it gets a little better  
Add some bass and we start a little groove
Add a second chord and the song begins to move
 
Then play a note for the melody  
You may even want it to be in key  
Or maybe take a chance and do something a little different  
 
Chorus
 
Bridge
Can you feel the music?
Can you feel the music?
Can you feel the music?
In your soul
 
Oh did I hit that note quite right  
Lets try and make it a little more bright  
Or maybe make it a little more free

Lyrics Demitri:
I try to tell her
I couldn't do better
She doesn't listen
Cause she read the letter
Pain in my ass
She's driving real fast
The engineer’s crazy
This trains off the tracks
She is a weapon
Brighter than heaven
Curved like a sword
A shark in the water
Mmm
Ooh
Love isn't fair
But why do I care
Mmm
Ooh
If this is torture
Tie me to a chair

Love Isn't Fair - Paploviante

Happy Monday my SC friends. Today I am supremely excited to offer you (the listener) my next collaborative creation of 2023; and for those keeping track at home, this is my 4th collab with the legendary (at least, in my mind) Stone Catcherye (https://soundcloud.com/stonecatcherye, https://stonecatcherye.bandcamp.com/). 

Stoney’s lyrics speak for themselves; but I gotta say, I am sharing the sentiment. We hope you enjoy our latest collab, ‘Scintilla’ (and we hope you have some bell bottoms lying around… cuz this is not a drill). :D

Lyrics:

there's a small piece inside of me
defenselessness be thy name
it's a party where nothing's free
who would care to explain

dark. all it takes is a spark
a trace of love in your heart
are you brilliant or just smart
then dig down deeper

there's a small piece inside of me
that's shown interest to scream
it's a riot inside of me
and my brain's the police
in contempt and unbendingly
I surrender, it seems

dark. all it takes is a spark
a trace of love in your heart
are you brilliant or just smart
then dig down deeper

heart. need to get back my spark
get in the state of the art
not let this peel me apart
and dig down deeper

if I dig deep enough,
maybe I'll bury me...

heart. need to get back my spark
get in the state of the art
not let this peel me apart
and dig down deeper

dark. all it takes is a spark
a trace of love in your heart
are you just brilliant or smart
then dig down deeper

if I dig deep enough maybe I'll plant a seed
put in all that I have just to feel that in green
if I care for this deep, it will grow to a tree
and I'll save all it's sap and pick up all of it's leaves

F.W. Friends
