Sometimes in life, we get so caught up in chasing dreams and trying to make ends meet that we forget to take a second for ourselves. I give you my audio take of what this feels like inside of the brain.

Decaying Thoughts

I’m thrilled to share our new release, “Gratitude”! This song is for anyone who’s been feeling blue or facing hardships — a reminder that even in the toughest times, there’s room for appreciation and resilience.

Huge thanks to Whitman Rinaldo and Pierre Denissen for bringing this song to life.

LYRIC

Gotta feeling that I’m living a tragedy
Lord you know I’m flawed
My mind is reeling tell me where is the majesty
I’m beaten, battered, and raw

But I’m running with a powerful attitude
And so much appreciation
That’s my inspiration
My heart’s still filled with gratitude
I guess I’m praying for Grace
Praying for Grace

Yes despite the sorrow
I see a bright tomorrow
Despite the loss and the heartache
I feel such gratitude

Gotta a feeling that I’m living a tragedy
You know I’m down and I’m blue
The years are stealing my youth and vitality
I need love, forgiveness, and truth

But I feel such gratitude, yeah

Yes despite the sorrow
I see a bright tomorrow
Despite the loss and the heartache
I feel such gratitude

RELEASED ON SOUNDCLOUD: December 5, 2025

Sibealle Song

One of my favourite songs with one of my favourite vocalists and friend Danny Zambelis.I wrote this after thinking how we all have our own "Private Sideshow" or life which is different for all of us,the ups,downs,and the journey we all have to "walk".
May you all be blessed in this troubled world, and please leave some thoughts on the song,its for you all! Peace :-)

Private Sideshow - ft John Castellain & Danny Zambelis

Needs to be cut & chopped like crazy...just float away with what makes (little) sense for now.. I did this a long time ago, decided to upload it here to keep it safe.. Complete improv stupidity.

After visiting the music of a friend, I came in a mood for good old rock (and somehow roll)

You can also visit my friend who seem to be in a similar mood in some records. But check yourself:

Kung Flu

I like to think I’m an optimist. I try listen rather than open my big gob all the time but I don’t listen like i should. 

i want this song to be true. But I don't see a lot of other people listening these days either.. Songs, truths, facts, fine words and sentiments don't seem to make much of an impact anymore.

Happy New Year everyone..

Bridge the divide

Hold on tight to the loves in your life
All the feuds and the fights
Who was wrong and who was right
We’ll leave it all behind

All I know is when we’re standing side by side 
We can bridge the divide

One nation, two tribes 
So far apart, yet so alike
If we’d open up our hearts
If we’d open up our minds
And put all these differences aside

All I know is when we’re standing side by side
All this pain, we can leave it all behind
All this time, it seemed our worlds collide
But we can heal, start again, be reconciled
We can bridge the divide

(Reprise)
Nothing ever lasts forever
Find a way to come together
Father, mother, sister, brother
Holding onto one another

What's It To Ya?
