Wounderful composition, great vibe and video 👍👏

Well Jimmy, I learned to know you as a very good all-round musician... Suddenly i understood you are a viideo-artist ! And now i read your lyrics...These are bigger then big? You show us the broken mirror and we see in the sharfs a broken world, a broken mind and broken senses.

Really Pretty & Meaningful Track Jimmy ~~

"A Love Like No Other"

Recollections of flowing memories from when you entered my life
Your long black flowing hair & those beckoning eyes that still call me
It was obvious that we were never through which is why I returned
And in this world, who could ever say they knew of romance like this?
A Love Like No Other

Am deeply sorry for the pain I caused from an addiction that destroyed me
You were always the one & I struggled to cope with all I could not say
As time slowly passes by, I know in my heart you will be back in my arms one day
A Love Like No Other, a girl that gave me a reason to smile
A Love Like No Other, the connection of two souls that become one

Ghost (Unofficial)

It's mostly a lie, mostly......except for love, sometimes. 

Look…Drones!

Every time i see you, You tell me that i drink too much
It never really mattered to me,
And when i close my eyes, you say that i sleep too much
It dont really happen that way............

Every day i know what you been going through
Thinking about the things, that you wanna do

Its so strange, Out of range, Every time it gets all too much

Every time i see you, you say i think too much
It dont make sense to me
All because i buy you things, you say that i spend too much
It seems crazy to me..........

Every day i know what you been going through
Thinking about the things, that you wanna do

Its so strange, Out of range, Every time it gets all too much

I started making this piece with the intention of it being a set of songs that could stand on their own as well as being an open collaboration, but then it took on a life of its own, and things just got out of hand from there, lol! 

But I still managed to control myself and didn’t add too many samples though, haha! 

I was listening to 1985 and 1986 hip hop singles when making this so….

You can download this for free as well as some of the unmixed stems on Bandcamp. The lyrics can also be found on Bandcamp since SC didn’t provide enough space in the song info. I reached my description limit!

Feel free to treat it as an open collaboration if you like. The song list, BPMs, and time signatures are listed below.

Put you in a tourniquet
Bleeding there’s no stopping it
Got a pimple 
I be popping it
Tripple nipple
Don’t be knocking it
I be chopping it off
Now blood is slopping  
I ain’t mopping 
You be dropping
When you slippin’ in it 
Finna sit and watch as I scoff
Maybe lickin’ ice cream soft serve, huh
What cha sayin’ I can only seem to catch ya gurgling brah
Nah, No one can hear you scream 
When you got a severe stream of
Foam bumbling, bubbling from your mouth, tumbling gravitationally south
Bro, i’m feeling bad for your health
See you reeling keeling over looking so sad 
had I know your noncongealinkg slow at healing
I might have
Not tried to put you in a tourniquet 
Tried to put you in a tourniquet
Tried to put you in a

More than a vibe — it’s a mindset. This track blends heavy-hitting EDM with raw rap energy, designed for the ones who step out clean, talk bold, and move like they own the moment. "Fresh" is about Image and attitude.
The beat hits with futuristic synths and bass that shakes the concrete, while the verses cut through with slick talk and confidence. Ain’t nothin’ stale here — this is brand new, unapologetic, and built to turn heads. Whether you're in the whip, on the block, or deep in the crowd, "Fresh" brings that pressure.
This one’s for the stylish, the original, the bold — the ones who don’t follow waves, they create them.
 Thanks ChatGPT !!!

acropolis

The Acropolis is an ancient citadel in Athens, Greece, perched on a rocky hill overlooking the city. Its most famous structure, the Parthenon, is a temple dedicated to Athena, built in the 5th century BCE during Athens' golden age. The Acropolis symbolizes classical Greek architecture and culture, housing other significant structures like the Erechtheion and the Propylaea. It's a UNESCO World Heritage Site, drawing millions for its historical and archaeological value.



ACROPOLIS - ΑΚΡΟΠΟΛΙΣ

This song is a new one written this year and it's about how we've all become Broken Mirrors in some way. All of us, we were a loving people, not a cruel people, we were a caring people, not a hateful people, we were a hard working and strong people but also a very fragile people and I feel we've become a little bit more shattered in recent years. Our beliefs and hopes have diminished somewhat and this song reflects that broken mirror in us all. It's harder and harder to stay positive in this crazy hateful world today. I sang this one since Charlie was not available. I think the mix was too loud but I'm having problems with my computer and couldn't adjust the sound in my film editor like I usually do. 

VIDEO - https://youtu.be/CUpzZLL-xJc

I worked hard on the video and tried to follow the lyrics as close as possible. It will drop on August 1st on YouTube. It's about our lack of empathy as of late and this constant hatred for other people that I now sense in this great country of ours!.  So I asked myself, how did we get here? When a country starts depriving its citizens of basic needs like healthcare and not helping our senior citizens and ignoring the less fortunate among us and stop assistance for veterans (like me) that risked our lives for this country, then we're on a road to destruction and our government has failed us.  All I can do is write songs, so songs I shall write. I still believe in love, love is always the answer!  Take care & God bless!🙏😎✌🏼

“BROKEN MIRRORS"

WE LIVE INSIDE OUR CASTLES,
WE HIDE BEHIND OUR WALLS,
WARM AND SECURE, NEVER ENDURE,  
HARDSHIPS THAT BEFALL,             
THE CRESTFALLEN AMONG US,
THE ONES THAT WE IGNORE,      

PRETEND THEY DON’T EXIST,
PERHAPS THEY’LL MELT AWAY, 
THEY’LL DISAPPEAR, ALONG WITH FEARS, 
WE MAY BE THEM ONE DAY,
THEY REALLY NEVER MATTERED,
THE WRETCHED WE DEPLORE, 

BROKEN MIRRORS, BROKEN MINDS,
SOMETIMES WE CHOOSE TO BE BLIND,
CONVINCE OURSELVES, WE’RE MILES ABOVE,  
THOSE THAT BEG AND CRAWL,
 BROKEN MIRROR ALWAYS REFLECT, 
 WHAT’S BROKEN IN US ALL,

MAN IS A STRANGE CREATURE,
SO CRUEL BUT YET SO KIND, 
OUR TAPESTRY IS OUR ARTISTRY,
OUR HEART SOMETIMES SUBLIME,    
YET SOME HAVE A DARKER SIDE,
THEY LURK BEHIND SATAN'S DOOR,  

     BROKEN MIRRORS, BROKEN MINDS,
     SOMETIMES WE CHOOSE TO BE BLIND,
     CONVINCE OURSELVES, WE’RE MILES ABOVE,  
     THOSE THAT BEG AND CRAWL,
     BROKEN MIRROR ALWAYS REFLECT, 
     WHAT’S BROKEN IN US ALL.

This Empty World 

It is hard to escape the unrest in the world at the moment, horrific picture of  starving children, millions dying in wars, Psychopaths running countries and threatening nuclear war if they don’t get what they want. Very frightening times. 

All of this is having a profound effect on me and I am sure on a lot of normal people and I wonder, do these So called leaders have any idea of the effect all of these bombs going off and exhaust from tanks and jets is having on our Atmosphere ? what would happen to humanity if they actually did press that Nuclear button?  Armageddon would be released followed by disease and mother earth would fight back. 

With this as a mental backdrop, I had an idea for a song about the last human being left alive on Earth after such an event. There would have to be a “ Last man standing “  A bitter sweet experience to have survived nuclear wars, pandemic after pandemic and the death of life on the planet but to be All alone in this empty world. I had the music but not the lyrics. I sent off what I had to my Friend and musical collaborator Finn Eces and what you are about to hear is the amazing result.

Thank you Finn for the Lyrics, such top class vocals and harmonies and a Class mix and professional Production .

This Empty World 

In the stone dead mist there stands the world's last man 
In his stone cold fist holds the world’s last plan 
Now the skies don’t speak  and silent oceans wreak 
not another soul to seek in this empty world 

In this empty world, This empty world  

In the silent streets was heard, a weak heartbeat 
Will our own disease be our last defeat ? 
Mother earth is ill  and her breath grows still 
Just one more grave to fill this empty world 

This empty world
This empty world  

Chorus
Is there anyone here to remember me ? 
Is there anyone here to recall ? 
Does anyone see ? 
Does anyone hear ? 
I don’t what to the be the last 

This empty world,
this empty world  
In this Empty World, 
this Empty World


Chorus
Is there anyone here to remember me ? 
Is there anyone here to recall ? 
Does anyone live ? 
Does anyone breath ? 
Lights went out and now the darkness reigns 
In this empty world in this empty world

The Snow Queen - Gerda Searches for Kay - Feat. Melissa Rood

Text 1. Deutsch 2. Englisch
Strophe 1
Ich hab’ so oft den Mut gesucht,
tausend Worte in mir verflucht,
jeden Blick von dir gezählt,
doch nie den Schritt zu dir gewählt.
 
zu dir gewählt.  
Dann stehst du da, so nah bin fast bei dir,
und plötzlich drehst du dich zu Ihr,
und zwischen uns tritt dunkle Nacht,
die meinen Traum zunichtemacht.
 
Pre-Chorus
Sie steht da wie ein Schatten,
der sich in mein Leben stellt,
nimmt mir all die Farben,
In meiner wunderschönen Welt.

Chorus
Nur eine Sekunde zu spät,
mein Herz weiß, dass es untergeht,
du bist das Glück, das ich verlier,
während sie zwischen uns steht, zwischen dir und Mir:
 
Strophe 2
Dein Lächeln schmerzt wie grelles  Licht,
 ihre Hand berührt dein Gesicht,
ich seh’ ihr kommt euch, lachend, nah –
und weiß, mein Traum wird nie mehr wahr.
 
In mir schreit alles, Ich will zu dir,
doch mein Köper  bleibt leider hier,
 mit dem Schlag, der mich zerreißt,
weiß ich, das ihr auf mich scheißt

Bridge
Vielleicht trifft dich mein Blick 
oder hörst du mein Herz klopfen,
 
doch der Moment, er bleibt zerbrochen,
und ich schreie still vor schmerz

Chorus (Reprise)
Nur eine Sekunde zu spät,
und meine Welt wird stiller Schnee,
du bist das Glück, das ich verlier,
trotz dem glaub ich das ich dich wieder seh.

Pre-Chorus
Sie steht da wie ein Schatten,
der sich in mein Leben stellt,
nimmt mir all die Farben,
In meiner wunderschönen Welt.

Englisch:

Verse 1
I’ve searched for courage time and again,
cursed a thousand words in vain,
counted every glance from you,
yet never dared to follow through.

Then you stand there, so close I’m almost near,
and suddenly you turn to her,
and between us falls the darkest night,
that shatters all my dreams in sight.

Pre-Chorus
She stands there like a shadow,
stepping into my life,
stealing all the colors
from my beautiful world.

Chorus
Just a second too late,
my heart knows it will sink in fate,
you are the joy I’m losing here,
while she stands between us, between you and me.

Verse 2
Your smile burns like blinding light,
her hand touches your face so slight,
I see you laughing, leaning near—
and know my dream will disappear.

Inside I’m screaming, I want to run to you,
but my body stays, frozen through,
and with the blow that tears me apart,
I know you’ve cast me from your heart.

Bridge
Maybe you’ll catch my gaze,
or hear my heart pounding loud,

but the moment stays in pieces,
and I scream in silence from the pain.

Chorus (Reprise)
Just a second too late,
and my world turns to silent snow,
you are the joy I’m losing still,
yet I believe I’ll see you again someday.

Pre-Chorus
She stands there like a shadow,
stepping into my life,
stealing all the colors
from my beautiful world.

Tom's piano melodies are so inspirational, not just to me (Mark) but also to Jussi, Georg and Boon. The energy of this piece carried us all off on a wonderful journey. We hope you enjoy the joyful enthusiasm that Tom initiated. Tom also gave me the key line, 'My Way Through' and I had to run with it as it made so much sense with this uplifting and hopeful music. Thanks for listening.

Wherever you’re bound you know I’ll, 
Make my way through 
Sure may take a little while
 But I’ll make my way through

Wherever I’m bound I know I’ll,
 Make my way through
 It may take a longer while 
Till I make my way through

Wherever you’re bound,
…You’re bound
I know that I’m bound, yeah!

When I get there you know I’ll
Make my way through
Sure may need a broader smile
But I’ll make my way through.

Love is a fallen angel, I’ve fallin for you , I dreamt I met you in a molecule, eyes of star light, miles of blue, my universe wants me to be there for you,  Rolling in the sinful, Rolling in the Blues, I dreamt  I love you in the house of blues, sins of an angel, rhythm of control, words of passion, mojo rules my soul. I wanna tell you our love is the highest. Sins of an angel, the rhythm of control, words of passion, mojo rules my soul.

Highest
