Quite a beautiful song with cool imagery! By the way...here in Pennsylvania we had a heck of a snowstorm today.

really enjoyed how this was mixed and pre-chorus was smoooth

Enjoyed this song on Rayna’s The Unsigned Radio Hour on VOWR 800 last night

One word “TWILIGHT” 💙💙💙❄️❄️❄️

Copy of if you don’t love me

Snowstorm

I went outside again today
The clouds were still familiar gray

Since you left, it’s been this way 
There’s no relief from the weather

The sunny days are long gone
Hail poured from dusk until dawn

Forecast said I should move on
And try to find some place better

I hope you’re somewhere so warm
But I’m stuck in the snowstorm

All the birds are southbound
But I’m here year round

Like an evergreen
Fallen on the hard ground

No one heard me scream 
Did it even make a sound?

My brain was fogged, my body weak
I tumbled from the highest peak

Plunged into the frigid creek
And stayed there for awhile

I tried to move, but time stood still
To ease the pain, I popped a pill

Then I hiked back to the top of the hill
And howled your name for miles

I hope you’re somewhere so warm
But I’m stuck in the snowstorm

All the birds are southbound
But I’m here year round

Like an evergreen
Fallen on the hard ground

No one heard me scream 
Did it even make a sound?

Did it make a sound?
Did it make a sound?

Did it make a sound?
Did it make a sound?

I hope you’re somewhere so warm
But I’m stuck in the snowstorm

All the birds are southbound
But I’m here year round

Like an evergreen
Fallen on the hard ground

No one heard me scream 
Did it even make a sound?

Did it make a sound?

A TREASURE AND A HANDFUL by NOVA J

I’ll never forget when we met
Told you not to take me seriously
Isn’t that sad?
Now here we are, we’ve come so far
Still together after all this time
And I’m so glad

I had a lot of healing to do
I was in pieces, you were the glue

You saw what nobody else could see
Beyond my broken personality
You gave me all your love for free
You saw the hidden treasure in me

I’m a treasure and a handful
Poison pleasure, it was painful
But you never called me shameful
You’re a treasure and a handful

High beams in a taxi cab
Scanning sidewalks for someone to grab
Me and a stranger sharing a room
Fighting off the impending doom
But you found me there
No judgment, just care

All the others held a grudge
But you never held back love

You saw what nobody else could see
Beyond my broken personality
You gave me all your love for free
You saw the hidden treasure in me

I’m a treasure and a handful
Poison pleasure, it was painful
But you never called me shameful
You’re a treasure and a handful

Oh, the world is breaking, creating
Oh, the tides are rising, cascading
Oh, the earth is shaking, rearranging
But through it all, you’re the one I call

Helping break my fall
Standing strong and tall

You saw what nobody else could see
Beyond my broken personality
You gave me all your love for free
You saw the hidden treasure in me

I’m a treasure and a handful
Poison pleasure, it was painful
But you never called me shameful
You’re a treasure and a handful

Dublin Romance

Someone I Could Trust

I kissed you after hours of sipping whiskey sours and told you you were my best friend
I was lying in your bedding, dreaming ‘bout a wedding when you whispered it’s the end

I begged you to explain
Please tell me what changed
Was anything ever true?
You said it’s never been you

I thought I was keeping up but you left me in the dust 
I was shiny and brand new till you put me out to rust
I’m not used to stable but I was getting used to us
And I thought you were someone…
Someone I could trust

I hadn’t even left, when you lit a cigarette,
and blew the smoke right in my face
To the door I stumbled, through my tears I mumbled, 
you’re making a big mistake 

I begged you to explain
Please tell me what changed
Was anything ever true?
You said it’s me not you

I thought I was keeping up but you left me in the dust 
I was shiny and brand new till you put me out to rust
I’m not used to stable but I was getting used to us
And I thought you were someone…
Someone I could trust

I showed up to work late, put too much on my plate
Bought new clothes and cut my hair
Found someone who adores me, always reassures me
He says he’s not going anywhere 

But I don’t know if he’s honest
‘Cause you broke that same promise 
You swore you’d always keep
And now these scars run deep 

I thought I was keeping up but you left me in the dust 
I was shiny and brand new till you put me out to rust
I’m not used to stable but I was getting used to us
And I thought you were someone…
But you were never someone…
Someone I could trust

No you were never someone…
Someone I could trust

someone i could trust

Cloak of nostalgia 

Winter arrives, silent and cold,  
With icy winds and a cloak of white gold.  
Even the last flowers surrender and fall,  
Like forgotten dreams, they answer the call.  
Fragrances fade,  
Leaving only the chill that seeps deep inside,  
A breath of frost that fills up my chest,  
While the world stands still, in a moment of rest.

And you, oh winter,  
Are the cold that won’t go away,  
You’re the frost that wraps me tight,  
The nostalgia that lingers night and day.  
And you, oh winter,  
Are the silence that makes me shake,  
You’re the weight of a love,  
That I can’t seem to forsake.


You are my winter, no longer mine,  
Like dead leaves of autumn, you’ve flown from my line,  
To a horizon that won’t be part of me.  
And here I wait for spring to see,  
Hoping the sun will melt this freeze,  
And bring back warmth, a gentle breeze.

While winter has frozen my heart so tight,  
I seek shelter, I seek the light,  
Among memories dancing in the dark,  
An echo of promises that leave a mark.  
And though the cold wraps me in its hold,  
I search for a flame, a warmth to behold,  
Ready to thaw this winter's chill,  
And bring back the warmth, if just for a thrill.


And you, oh winter,  
Are the cold that won’t go away,  
You’re the frost that wraps me tight,  
The nostalgia that lingers night and day.  
And you, oh winter,  
Are the silence that makes me shake,  
You’re the weight of a love,  
That I can’t seem to forsake.

Under this cloak of nostalgia, I wait,  
For the sun to return, to open the gate,  
For even winter, with its icy sway,  
Will eventually pass, and fade away.

Cloak of nostalgia

Violet Fields is a song about conflicted lovers who coexist in harmony in a violet parallel universe.

Lyrics

Verse 1
There's an angel in me that can't get to my heart
My mind won't allow this love above
Don't listen to her she's witchy, they say
She'll unravel your soul with her enchanting ways

Chorus 1
True love sings to me from violet fields
Will you come listen to me
Beyond this earth we'll be free

Verse 2
Violet you must be the angel in me
From violet fields we see
Help me to see, what we can be
Come through the dark veil to me

Bridge and Chorus 2
In the violet, in the violet, I can be with you
In the violet, in the violet, I can be with you
My true love sings to me from violet fields
Will you come listen to me
Beyond this earth we'll be free

Verse 3
The angel in me is close to my heart
The world may say she's not okay
She is good to me and together we'll be
When we kiss the world makes sense

Bridge and close
In the violet, in the violet I can be with you
In the violet, in the violet I can be with you
Violet I hear you now
You and I know how to love

Violet Fields

Lyrics:

 i think i was born different 
a little magical, a little rare
 like while people star-gazed
 i saw worlds in my head
it felt lonely 
that no one could understand

 i’ve never been able to be  fully here 
because half of me died  before i was ten
 i’ve never known  a life without grief 
but i promised myself  i would create something out of it
 and despite the downfalls
 i followed those dreams 

the emptiness  echoed so loud 
that i fell in love  with designing sounds
 but a part of me  is still there  by the door  
waiting for someone 
to come home 

i was too young  to know betrayal  
the way i did 
some days i wish  i just got 
to be a kid
so i think it’s time  to return to her  
and seek out justice for all the times
 everyone pretended  they didn’t notice
i was getting hurt

the emptiness  echoed so loud 
that i fell in love  with designing sounds
 but a part of me  is still there  by the door  
waiting for someone 
to come home 

no one loved me hard enough
 for me to believe it 
i became an orchestra of longing
to be found— except no one ever did

so i tucked my thoughts  so deep within 
i woke up one day  and i was out of reach
it was different once i turned sixteen
and my wounds became  
displayed on my skin

the emptiness  echoed so loud 
that i fell in love  with designing sounds
 but a part of me  is still there  by the door  
waiting for someone 
to come home 

i murmur spells 
while the world sleeps
 i still got magic
growing inside of me

i murmur spells 
while the world sleeps
 i still got magic
growing inside of me

GRIMOIRE (Demo)

Certaines soirées s'allument ... Comme des diamants.                                           Et rien d'autre n'est important  🌟                                                                                                       
Some nights light up... Like diamonds. And nothing else matters.

Ici et Maintenant 🌟 ( Version Groovy )

“Losing Control” drifts through the storm of sorrow, where rain washes away the past and silence speaks louder than words. It's a soul unraveling—through pain, through numbness—until a glimmer of light breaks the dark. From losing oneself to finding hope in love again, the song is a slow burn of release, reflection, and rebirth.

Losing Control

Losing Control (2025 Remastered)

I saw you first beneath the tree,
Your eyes were coins, your tongue a spark
You said the path would make me king
If I just cut my name into the bark
So I did it — blade and breath and blood
And waited for the dawn to rise
But what arrived was you again
With teeth too white, and too human eyes

Cut deep, boy, deeper still
Where sap runs hot and time stands still
They’ll call you fox before they know
How far your claws are meant to go

You led me past the rusted gates
Where no one sings and crows don’t lie
I stole the bird, just like you asked
It screamed in tongues that cracked the sky
The feathers fused into my arms
My mouth forgot the prince it fed
I kissed a mirror once last night
It looked at me and howled instead

Run fast, boy, lose your skin
Let hunger teach you where to begin
They’ll call you thief, they’ll call you son
But you and I — we are the one

The king is gone. The throne is bone.
The castle caved in dust and stone
The road was never pointing back
And roots have made my name their own
You said I’d rule, and maybe I do—
In fur and ash, with breath like coal
I see your shadow when I sleep
And wake to find I have no soul
I kept your scent, it lingers still
Between my ribs, behind my will
No prayer unwinds what’s tied in bone
You taught me how to die alone

Cut deep, boy, deeper still
Where sap runs hot and time stands still
You wear the fur, you sing the tone
You speak the curse — you walk alone

Break My Record

Gentlemen, please start your engines
We’ll go on the count of three 
Buckle up, get ready for action 
Do you think you can keep up with me?

Vroom, vroom, vroom, ready or not
Pedal to the metal, give it all you got
Bang, bang, bang, sounds so frightening 
I’m striking faster than Texas lightning

You might be quick, but honey I’m quicker
The track is slick, but baby I’m slicker
My tank is full and the flag is checkered
And ain’t nobody gonna break my record

If you don’t like the heat, leave the kitchen
If you can’t keep the pace, switch lanes
I’m the leader of a no fail mission
Do you think you can handle the pain?

Vroom, vroom, vroom, ready or not
Pedal to the metal, give it all you got
Bang, bang, bang, fire that pistol
I’m driving faster than Dale at Bristol 

You might be quick, but honey I’m quicker
The track is slick, but baby I’m slicker
My tank is full and the flag is checkered
And ain’t nobody gonna break my record

Boy, you look dumbstruck
by my full scale invasion
Boy, this ain’t dumb luck
This is total domination

Vroom, vroom, vroom, ready or not
Pedal to the metal, give it all you got
Bang, bang, bang, shoot that gun
One of us is losing and I ain’t the one

You might be quick, but honey I’m quicker
The track is slick, but baby I’m slicker
My tank is full and the flag is checkered
And ain’t nobody gonna break my record

You might be quick, but honey I’m quicker
The track is slick, but baby I’m slicker
My tank is full and the flag is checkered
And ain’t nobody gonna break my record

I said ain’t nobody gonna break my record

Dopo francese e italiano “Una storia di mille volte amore” anche in inglese. 

“It’s a story of a thousand times love”

Mine has now become a sweet obsession  
A constant thought that plays in my mind  
A recurring dizziness that takes hold of me  
A force that overwhelms me, thinking only of you  
I could tell you that I’m madly in love  
But words are not enough to express what I feel  
Together we have taken the world in our hands  
Like a crystal ball to read the future, tomorrow  
And like indelible ink, you have marked my destiny  
You took my heart in your hands with your sweetness  
And you gifted me your soul like a beautiful flower  
And you filled our great story with light  

It’s a story that goes  
It’s a story that gives  
It’s a story of a thousand times love  
A thousand times love, a thousand times love  

Like a child in the arms of someone who cares for him  
Happy to dive into a sea full of love  
And you, like a wave, pull me under with your passion  
And in those moments, the universe stops just for us  
Like a lighthouse shining in the midst of a storm  
I follow you, sure to find your warmth  
You are a ray of sunshine that warms and after a bitterness  
You comfort me by holding me close to you  
In this story that transcends all boundaries  
There is no scale to measure the strength of love  
And we, who are happy like two little children  
Are grains of sand that make the world spin  

And the world goes on  
And the world gives  
It’s a story of a thousand times love  
A thousand times love, a thousand times love  
A thousand times love, a thousand times love  
A thousand times love, a thousand times love

It’s a story of a thousand times love

I listen to the wind blow
I hear the creaks of the old screen door
What was once a storybook house
Is now the neighborhood eyesore 

I peer out through the window
You park the car in our driveway
I watch you check the mailbox
The same routine on a different day 

Then you come inside and you snort a line
And you’re stoned on misery by nine
While I’m wide awake mind racing after two
Wishing I was braver so I could say to you

If you don’t love me, don’t pretend you do
If you don’t need me, find somebody new
It’ll take some time and a lot of wine
But I’ll be fine ‘cause I can find
A man who knows he wants me too
If you don’t love me, don’t pretend you do 

I feel it when you come home 
You walk right by and don’t say hello
I find stains on the carpet
Blood red from your spilled Merlot

And I see it in your tired eyes
There’s no joy in that vacant stare
So you down another bottle
Pass out cold in the lazy chair 

Then I head upstairs to cry a prayer
and ask God why life’s so unfair 
And why I had to draw the hand I drew
And beg him for courage so I can say to you

If you don’t love me, don’t pretend you do
If you don’t need me, find somebody new
It’ll take some time and a lot of wine
But I’ll be fine ‘cause I can find
A man who knows he wants me too
If you don’t love me, don’t pretend you do 

If it were up to me, we’d always be
Two carefree kids sitting in a tree
But I’ve learned fairytales just don’t come true
And it wouldn’t be me if it were up to you

If you don’t love me, don’t pretend you do
If you don’t need me, find somebody new
It’ll take some time and a lot of wine
But I’ll be fine ‘cause I can find
A man who knows he wants me too
So if you don’t love me, don’t pretend you do

if you don’t love me

Should’ve known
