AN UNINHABITED METROPOLIS ... A POLICE SCANDAL ... TWO PEOPLE WHO SEARCH WITHOUT KNOWING WHO THEY ARE ... THE TENSION, THE FEAR SCANDED BY THE PASSING OF THE INEXORABLE TIME THAT WILL END THIS INTRIGUE.

Cut In Ego

1 had a vision
But it was only a hallucination.
1 had a vision
But that was only a fantasy.
1 had a vision
But it was only a figment.
1 had a vision
But that was only a pipe dream.

Its end shall be dramatically
But until then
1 can try to stand,
Gain solid foothold again 
And that eventually
Until the end

Take the reject and
Try to reflect that

1 had this vision
But it was only a big misconception.
Thought to be on a mission
But that was only an aberration.
How 1 was wishing
that it had another destination.

Its end designed dramatically
But until then

Gain solid foothold again 
And that eventually
Until the end

But that only turned into a nightmare.
There seemed this mission
But now there is no time left to spare.

Its end will be dramatically
And until then

The end just fatally
And until then

Regain solid mindset again,
Adapt the stand
Until the end

Needless

Imagine a phone call. Two people close to each other take turns speaking. Not everything reaches their ears, but they feel the positive vibrations. Love is more than words! It is mystery. That's more or less what this song is about!!! Hope you enjoy my new surf track 😎🎸

Mystery You

'hard work to live'

The shadows of leaves
rustling in the breeze
make me wanna leave you forever.
I'm done with my pleads,
a man has his needs,
I no longer believe you're my treasure. 
Well, most of the time
I've walked the line
that you've marked for mine feet, my lady.
I've been hopin' to find
a reason of kinds
to starkly defy your ass, baby.
Because I'm so tired
of feeling so mired
I give in to thoughts that misgive. 
And what will transpire
is no such desire
for you 'cause it's hard work to live. 

I sit and I stare,
mostly without care 
from an uncomfortable chair almost daily
at words on a screen
on a type of machine
I manipulate so they can pay me.
Although I am there
I'm not in my chair
I'm floating in orbit around me
exploring my dreams
and anxieties
that are coaxing me once they have found me.
I need a break.
This shit, I can't take.
Give in 'cause I've no more to give.
I'm finally awake
and from this I take,
livin's work, why're we workin' to live? 

I wake around noon
in a stifling room,
four walls and a ceiling around me.
I wait for the moon,
otherwise it's too soon
to emerge and come swoon your ass, baby.
But I'm happy alone
in this world of unknowns
that has shown it can change any moment.
In which I'm a drone
'til it's all overthrown
and my mind is blown knowing I know it.
So I'll carry on
in a world of all wrongs
that has left me no rights, still I give
all that I can
when I feel like that man,
'cause shit, it's sure hard work to live.

hard work to live

Like a Jedi in Star Wars, I sense a disruption.
That suddenly you’re immune to my seduction. 
I don’t need a Yoda to tell that me something’s wrong.
Like superman and Lois - now I feel like Clark Kent
I don’t know where the passion went.
I wish that life was as simple as a comic book story.

I used to be your superhero but now I’m just another zero
Don’t know how things ended up this way

Don’t need Spidey sense to tell me something’s wrong.
You’re transmitting signals - I’m receiving them very strong.
Like Superman and Kryptonite something doesn’t feel right.
Wish we could go back to the way things used to be.

Like Batman and Robin, we made a good team 
But suddenly we just ran out of steam.
And I’m searching for your bat signal but all I see is dark skyLike the incredible hulk after he transforms back
Like David Banner I feel out of whack
My clothes aren’t in tatters, but it feels like my heart is shredded

I used to be your superhero but now I’m just another zero
Don’t know how things ended up this way.
I used to be your superhero but now I’m just another zero
Don’t know how things ended up this way

I Used To Be Your Superhero

This is a song I wrote with Rachel Goldie a few weeks ago. It's pretty much a total collaboration but Rachel wrote the music mainly and I wrote the lyrics mainly and I wrote the bridge. There was a lot of back & forth and it was an extreme pleasure to work with her on it. Check out her music here on SoundCloud and other platforms, she is truly amazing! Rachel also produced a great video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/TB7YRtqbDwo
Rachel also got an extremely good backing vocalist for this song as well. I hope everybody enjoys it.

"AM I A FOOL?"

AM I A FOOL TO LOVE YOU?
I’VE ASKED MYSELF A MILLION TIMES,
IS IT WISE FOR ME TO BE SO BLIND,  
AND PUT MY HEART BACK ON THE LINE?             
    
AM I A FOOL TO WANT YOU?
WANT YOU SO BAD IT BRINGS ME JOY,
TO HAVE YOU NEAR, TO HOLD YOU CLOSE, MY HEART'S DEPLOYED,
AM I YOUR LOVE OR JUST YOUR TOY?

STANDING IN THE RAIN FOR WAY TOO LONG,
BROKEN HEART, THE SAME OLD SONG,
SOMEHOW WITH YOU THIS TIME, I FEEL SO STRONG,
ARE YOU THE ONE OR AM I WRONG? 

AM I A FOOL TO MISS YOU? 
BELIEVE I’LL ALWAYS HAVE YOUR HEART,
WHAT IF I CLOSE MY EYES AND JUMP TOO FAR,
WILL I REGRET IT FROM THE START? 
      
STANDING IN THE RAIN FOR WAY TOO LONG,
BROKEN HEART, THE SAME OLD SONG,
SOMEHOW WITH YOU THIS TIME, I FEEL SO STRONG,
ARE YOU THE ONE OR AM I WRONG? 

I’VE LOVED AND LOST SO MANY TIMES BEFORE,
BY NOW YOU’D THINK I KNOW THE SCORE,
CAN I BELIEVE THAT WE WERE MEANT TO BE?
IS LOVE AT LAST IN STORE FOR ME? 
        
STANDING IN THE RAIN FOR WAY TOO LONG,
BROKEN HEART, THE SAME OLD SONG,
SOMEHOW WITH YOU THIS TIME, I FEEL SO STRONG,
ARE YOU THE ONE OR AM I WRONG? 

AM I A FOOL TO TRUST YOU?
I’LL CLOSE MY EYES AND MAKE BELIEVE,
THAT YOU’RE THE ANSWER TO MY QUESTION,
AM I A FOOL? I JUST MAY BE.

"AM I A FOOL?" (Feat. Music/Vocals By Rachel Goldie)

Pieter Rothier has on his own soundcloud: "Quick on the drawing" unique tracks full of character. There i found his haunting instrumental "Animosity". 
He offered on his cloud a collab for this song. 

https://soundcloud.com/pieter-rotthier/animosity-open-collab?si=b733714a7d0b4b83948dca51886233b7&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing

And in my phantasy I heard buzzing bees and you know how it goes: I wrote lyrics and felt the need to sing! I want to thank Pieter for his offer and patience and want to draw the attention on the fact he makes his own drawings!

Lyrics: Buzzing bee animosity

Honey bees are humming
Bumble bees are buzzing
They Pollinate the Blueberrie
They sing and hum the sound of C
They Pollinate the cranberrie
They sing and hum the sound of C

“sonication” “buzz pollination

animosity
They shake the pollen with their buzz, buzz, buzz
vibrating wings, they make a fuzz (x3)
 
animosity

Buzzing Bee Animosity ¨(collab Saskia x Quick on the drawing)

J'égrène les orgasmes
Du soleil et de son arc en ciel
Sur la bandaison des ombres
Où scintillent des sucettes à la clochette
Où clignotent des glaces en lactescence galactique
Dessinant le désir en danse de doigts
En stances salivaires
Prières purpurines 
Astrales à souhait
Astralement votre

Cliquetis Stellaire

Lingering Loon Loitering

Strange Feeling

**I NEVER USE A.I. IN ANY OF MY SONGS OR VIDEOS!** Hi everybody, my name is Jim and I’m a songwriter, I've written over 300 songs, I play guitar, bass, piano, and am an okay lyricist.  I play all types of music and have my own recording studio.  I use no A.I. or DAW or any computers to make my songs or my videos, all the instruments are played by me live on a multitrack studio recorder and Charlie, my vocalist, sings most of my songs and also plays the Harmonica on several tracks. I use video clips from Motion Array or Pexals or Pixabay for my videos. I'm not a pro or a great musician but I do what I can with the tools that I have! I belong to the "Keep Humans In Music Movement" (KHMM)! We're NOT perfect but we're REAL! Thanks everyone for listening and the world needs more music now, real music made by HUMANS not MACHINES! So let's all sing a song with our own voices, please! I do not consent to any of my songs or videos being used or sampled or lifted in any way or fashion. Take care!👍😎✌🏼.
