**🌄 "Dawn’s Cold Embrace" – A Haunting Post-Punk Meditation on Transience 🌄**  

A delicate balance of frost-kissed melody and raw introspection, **"Dawn’s Cold Embrace"** captures the quiet agony of existing in the threshold between night’s refuge and day’s unyielding glare. This track weaves jangly, shimmering guitars with poetic despair, crafting a soundscape as fragile as the hour it mourns.  

**Lyrics as Fragile Revelations:**  
The song opens like a shiver—*“The night loosens its grip, leaves me in silence, where memories hover, shadows without shape”*—pitting the comfort of darkness against dawn’s merciless clarity. The chorus, *“There’s a chill in the light, it feels too honest,”* aches with the vulnerability of confronting what daylight unearths: fractured truths and “things unsaid.” The spoken-word outro lingers like mist, whispering of liminal purgatory: *“a place between what’s gone and what’s yet to begin.”*  

**Soundscapes of Bleak Elegance:**  
Treble-soaked guitar lines twinkle like frost under a pale sun, while a melodic bassline pulses with the rhythm of sleepless contemplation. Drums shuffle with restrained urgency, mimicking the reluctant march toward morning. Vocals sway between tender murmurs and trembling crescendos, embodying the tension of holding onto fading warmth. The bridge strips the arrangement to a skeletal hum—cold synths and trembling reverb mirroring the lyric’s *“loss without sorrow”*—before the instrumental break erupts in a cascade of melancholic strings and wiry arpeggios.  

**Why It Captivates:**  
- **For fans of:** Introspective jangle-pop, poetic bleakness, and post-punk’s romantic despair.  
- **Perfect for:** Solitary walks through empty parks at daybreak, scribbling unsent letters, or clinging to the ghost of a fading dream.  

**"Dawn’s Cold Embrace"** is not a song—it’s a sigh crystallized in sound. A hymn for those who find solace in the ache of impermanence. **Let its gray-light melancholy seep into your bones.**  

🎧 *Stream now, and wander the fragile edge of dawn.* 🎧

Lyrics:

I'm feeling dope. She's looking fly at the dive bar, hot Caroline sipping old fashions not Vaseline, eating stale peanuts not caviar.
Sullen eyes not reading self-help magazines.
Serious rot gut, no plush limousines. 
Cigarette ash, mouthwash, French kiss, oh my gosh.

Buster pow. Buster, buster wow. Ashy death wish. No, not now.

Anime western
Shoot em up bang bang 
She go-gos faster than 
Tura Satana 
Tumbleweeds showdown 
Pull a katana 
across these blood
Stained streets

Sweat beads —— on his brow. 
This haunted —— desolate town

Never grip a loaded vice 
by its barrel oh my gosh

Buster POW

LYRIC

On the morning of July fifth
Year of seventeen seventy six
Did our fathers - our forefathers -
Wonder what first to fix

We the people it was stated
In declaring ourselves free
If you owned land as a white man
You were counted in that ‘we’

A new nation on that morn 
Saw its first sunrise 
A union by agreement 
Forged in trial and compromise

Each July 4, we grill hotdogs
And shoot fireworks across the skies
The next day we’re left with ashes
And a dream to realize
From July 5 1776

July 5, 1776

Endless Revisions

This is a very old song written when I first picked up my music after a long layoff. It is written about Lena Leonardi, our landlady ( Landlord fit the song better  ) back in 1980. We moved into our new apartment when my joyce was pregnant with our first child. Lena was a sort of Philosopher.. Very hard working and always there to offer advice on whatever. She was very kind to us but she was also tough. I recall times when she would come to the back door when we were late on the rent and pound on the glass , and in her endearing Italian accent she would yell " Liggett!!!  I know you're in there !! PLEASE Liggett! PLease pay the rent !! ".. One time I came to the door and had to explain that we just didn't have the money right at the moment...she took me over to her apartment and sat me down while she prepared a couple of jars of Minestrone soup.. homemade and delicious. She said " Liggett, all you need is a little bread, a little bit of soup and a little bit of wine... that's all you need Liggett "  I never forgot her..Joyce and I talk about her once in a while and quote things she told us.. To this day she is in our hearts and minds.. almost like family. And thats how most of the Italians were to me growing up.. treated me well and looked out for me as I lived in a town called Elmwood Park known as little Italy..  Now, back in november of last year when I made the decision to start uploading all of my songs.. who is there b, among many others of course, but two who have given me the most support and good advice along with wonderful and inspiring music and words? But Michael Ansani and the beautiful folks at The Beating Edge.. From Italy...of course. Oh... and Len Benatti  .. you from Italy too?😊So.. I dedicate this song to them and wish them good fortune and calm seas ahead ! Salute!

Lyrics:

Long ago when I was 21 and I was just out on my own
a pretty new bride and a brand new son
trying hard to make a home
I wasn't ready to settle down and I needed some advice
My old Italian Landlord, she always treated me nice

A simple life and a happy home 
and everything will be just fine
But things don't always go that way 
and you can get a little bit behind
well if you lose direction and you're looking for a clue
my old Italian landlord she always knew what to do

She said:  A little bread and a little soup and a little bit of wine
that's all you need , that's all you need
a little luck and a little love and a little bit of time
that's all you need, that's all you need

I met that old lady, all those years ago
she led a very simple life and she always told you so
she was there when we were hungry 
she was there when we were broke
and even after all these years 
i remember the words she spoke

Now and then I think of her she holds a place in my mind
not too many like her so humble and so kind
I hope there's just a few spread around here and there
looking out for guys like me who need someone to care

She said:  A little bread and a little soup and a little bit of wine
that's all you need , that's all you need
a little luck and a little love and a little bit of time
that's all you need, that's all you need


All you need

Written in Cornwall after a dark enlightening dream ... I rushed for the acoustic & it poured out onto the paper.

**SoundCloud Description: Save Planet Earth from Global Warming**  

The clock is ticking, and the stakes have never been higher. Our planet is in crisis, and global warming is the greatest threat we face. This isn’t just an environmental issue—it’s a fight for our survival. The Earth is our home, and it’s burning. Rising temperatures, melting ice caps, devastating wildfires, and catastrophic storms are no longer distant warnings—they’re our reality. If we don’t act now, we risk losing everything. This is a call to action. We must save Planet Earth before it’s too late.  

The science is clear. Human activity—burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial pollution—is driving climate change at an unprecedented rate. The Earth’s temperature is rising faster than ever, and the consequences are dire. Sea levels are rising, threatening coastal cities and communities. Species are going extinct at an alarming rate. Crops are failing, and water is becoming scarce. This isn’t a problem for future generations to solve—it’s happening right now, and it’s on us to fix it.  

But here’s the thing: we still have time. We still have the power to change the course of history. But we need to act fast, and we need to act together. This isn’t about politics or profit—it’s about survival. It’s about protecting the only home we have. As the great environmentalist Jane Goodall once said, *“What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.”* Every action counts. Every voice matters.  

We need to demand change from our leaders. Governments and corporations must prioritize renewable energy, invest in sustainable practices, and commit to reducing carbon emissions. But change starts with us. We can make a difference in our daily lives—by reducing waste, conserving energy, supporting eco-friendly businesses, and holding those in power accountable. As Greta Thunberg said, *“No one is too small to make a difference.”*  

The fight against global warming is also a fight for justice. The communities hit hardest by climate change are often those who have contributed the least to the problem. Low-income neighborhoods, indigenous peoples, and developing nations are bearing the brunt of the crisis. We must stand with them, amplify their voices, and ensure that the solutions we pursue are equitable and inclusive.  

This is our moment to rise up and protect the planet. We owe it to ourselves, to future generations, and to every living creature that calls Earth home. As the poet Wendell Berry said, *“The Earth is what we all have in common.”* It’s our shared responsibility to safeguard it.  

So let’s get to work. Let’s plant trees, clean up our oceans, and push for policies that prioritize the planet over profit. Let’s educate ourselves and others, and inspire action in every corner of the globe. Let’s show the world that we care, that we’re willing to fight, and that we won’t back down.  

The time to act is now. The Earth is crying out for help, and we must answer the call. Together, we can turn the tide. Together, we can save our planet.
