Long Way Home

It was the best of times; it was the worst of times...
A dystopian surf anthem, funky end of summer banger, Blue Coast drips with razor sharp riffs and biting social commentary. This one's for the dreamers and the schemers looking to get paid.

Palm trees! / We got orange groves
Surf big waves / Tech bros and hoes
We got VC! / Crashing Bentleys
iPhones — shattered screens / Green tea — ice creams

Lyrics (by Stonerjazz):

We all chose it, we arrived here at this self-same place
he liked to think that he had earned it
but that simply not the case.
He just dreamed it up one sunday afternoon
while drowsing and lounging in the Ether
where the US resides
while living on a Proton Banished
to the outskirts of a single Atom
In a single Universe-
It was a wicked Curse, specifically designed for him
A scorcerer, Albert Rufus Smith
Stole a Rocket ship and he took it to Uriah
He was a rascal and scoundrel and a liar and a thief
But he had a magic knife that he had won in a game of dice
on a stormy night in a corner of some ruins
in the desert in december by the fire light with some other witches from Oaxaca
where he'd Spied Roberta picking magic mushrooms naked in the moonlight
with her brothers and her sisters and some others from the Bus-
It seems that Albert Rufus Smith Was Smitten

The eternal now is Wow
When we wonder why we wander
where we will
while walking walking walking to fulfill
the contemplated vacancy
Beyond the vast Horizen

Alberts knife was sliver with a handle made of Amber
when he held it high above his head
it gave off a blinding light
and on that night on the planet of Uriah
when Gus and all his jolly happy hopeful holograms arrived
on that Beat-up Bus
That formulated plan in Alberts wicked head
appeared to be on Track
had he not been messmerized by Roberta's perfect presence and physic
he might have pulled it off, that dirty rotten little sneak--

Sid and Larry caught him and his Cronies
trying to steal the bus and Abduct
Sally and Roberta too, Who
were sleeping on the bus in the back together as they always do,
And Gus was not Amused-
Albert seemed to be confused until he held his Magic knife up high
and blinded ever bodies eye
and in a frantic flight he escaped into the distant night--

Albert Rufus Smith(Smoking Trout's HOLY DUMPLING #11)

Lyrics By: Paulo Sergio Carvalho

Oh my—what now, girl?
What’s been going on with you?
You don’t pick up the phone
Like you’ve got better things to do

Are we done now? Have you left?
Was I blind and missed the signs?
Don’t leave me hanging on this ledge
I thought forever meant all time

You’ve been cold, you’ve been far
Like I’m a stranger in your past
Was I just a phase to you?
Another spark that couldn’t last?

Tell me something, tell me why
Was it something I didn’t see?
‘Cause I would’ve moved the sky
To keep you here with me

Girl, say it’s still true
Say I still mean something to you
That this love ain't fading fast
That we can fight to make it last

Girl, say it’s not real
Tell me that’s not how you feel
That you're not done, not through
Girl… say it’s not true

I see photos of you laughing
Like I was never part of your days
It’s cruel how you’ve moved forward
While I’m stuck inside this haze

You said we had something rare
Now you're gone without a sound
I built my world around your smile
Now it’s crashing to the ground

Girl, if there’s nothing left to feel
Just say it straight, don’t fake what’s real
But if there’s one last piece of you
Then I’ll be waiting like I do

Girl, say it’s not true
Say I still mean something to you
That you miss the way we were
That there’s still fire under the hurt

Girl, say it’s not done
That I’m not the only one
Still holding on to me and you
Girl… say it’s not true

Say you’re not letting go
That we’ve still got room to grow
I’d believe it all if you
Just said it’s not true

Say Its Not True

Pee Gee           :    Lyrics

Yesterday Is Long Ago

Now the night is fading
The dawn is yet to come
A new day is waiting
All bad dreams are gone

Time to leave..you told me
In your own personal way
You made your point clear
Come back and make my day

There is a way of turning the wheel
Yesterday Is Long Ago
Today is now ..today is real
Yesterday Is Long Ago

They say that time will heal
The wounds if you can wait
Today is now.. today is real
Never ask ..is it too late?

Let us begin the dance
Whirling into the future
Taking another chance
Holding you tight forever

There´s a way of turning the wheel
Yesterday Is Long  Ago
Today is now..today is real
Yesterday Is Long Ago

There´s a way of turning the wheel
Yesterday Is Long Ago....................

Yesterday Is Long Ago ....

Yesterday Is Long Ago

If you find yourself in trouble and you think you've lost your way.
Here's hoping that you find a path to a better day.
I sure hope that you're happy. I'm wishing you the best.
I hope you find what you're looking for as you continue on your quest.
I hope you find all the answers to all those questions vexing you.
I hope you can find a way not to bite off more than you can chew.
I sure hope that you're happy. I'm wishing you the best.
I hope you find what you're looking for as you continue on your quest.
You spread your wings and you flew so far away from me.
I hope that you're enjoying your new reality
All those places that you said that you wanted to see.
I hope they're as good as you expected them to be.
I want you to know that you hold a special place in my heart.
I think about you often even though we are apart.
They say that when you love somebody sometimes you gotta be willing to let them go.
You gotta let them spread their wings and fly wherever the wind decides to blow.
I sure hope that you're happy. I'm wishing you the best.
I hope you find what you're looking for as you continue on your quest.
I hope that you're happy. I hope that you're doing well. I sure hope that you're doing swell.You spread your wings and you flew so far away from me.
I hope that you're enjoying your new reality

Lyrics
Lost in the night, under silver beams, Drifting through cosmic, endless dreams. 
A thousand lights whisper my name, Guiding me home through time and flame.

Stars above, shining so bright, Lighting up the lonely night. Tell me tales of space and time, Sing me songs, make the world divine.

Breathing in a sea of violence,
Dealing with my fate with a consiouss eye,
Swimming by my anger to silence,
Its a stepping stone to what you shall live,
Met you in a day of weakness,
That i am alone with nothing to quest,
Give me now your only forgiveness,
Make me feel blessed that i found you now,
Swimming all my pain in your madness,
Swimming just above the thought of your hopes,
Playing all around with your sadness,
Can't you feel in this role that am not alone ,
Travelling in your sea of badness,
Shore to shore sacred by my holy oath,
Do you want to feel my godness,
Do you want to feel my breath in your core.

ONE BREATH

JAMMING INFINITE

Lyrics By: Rogerio De Carvalho

Amarante, minha terra
Que pelos feitos que encerra
Te tornaram imortal

E assim quis o destino
Que fosse um amarantino
A restaurar Portugal

Foste berço de guerreiros
De exímios cavaleiros
De poetas e pintores

Era também filho teu
Jorge Plácido de Abreu
Glória dos aviadores

Tens uma ponte formosa
Que, apesar de ser idosa,
Encerra tanta beleza

Teu aspeto mutilado
A falar-nos do passado
Quando da invasão francesa

Banha-te o mais lindo rio
Onde cantam ao desafio
Melodiosos rouxinóis

Tens a ilha dos amores
A dar paisagem aos pintores
E valentia aos heróis

Não pode ser esquecida
Enquanto Deus nos der vida
Embora sejas pequena

Pois foi aqui que nasceu
A corrente que prendeu
Napoleão a Santa Helena

Amarante, minha terra
Que pelos feitos que encerra
Te tornaram imortal

E assim quis o destino
Que fosse um amarantino
A restaurar Portugal

English Translation:

Amarante, my homeland
Whose deeds and glories kept inside
Have made you immortal with pride

And so willed destiny’s hand
That it be an Amarantine man
To help restore our Portugal land

You were the cradle of warriors bold
Of noble knights with hearts of gold
Of poets and painters too

You were also mother and guide
To Jorge Plácido de Abreu’s pride
Glory among the skies he flew

You have a bridge so fair and bright
Though aged, it holds such light
And beauty in each weathered line

Its wounded form tells us again
Of the past, of war and pain
From the time of the French campaign

The loveliest river bathes you whole
Where nightingales in contest roll
Their songs in melodies so fine

You hold the Isle of Love with grace
That gives the painters perfect place
And courage to the hero’s spine

You can’t be forgotten, no, not while
God still grants us breath and smile
Though you may seem small in size

For it was here the force arose
That bound Napoleon to his woes
And sent him off to Saint Helena’s skies

Amarante, my homeland
Whose deeds and glories kept inside
Have made you immortal with pride

And so willed destiny’s hand
That it be an Amarantine man
To help restore our Portugal land

Through alleys and valleys, signs remain
That Viriato passed this terrain
With love so loyal and pure

Your people and your history
He held close as memory
Of a charm that shall endure

Amarante, my homeland
Whose deeds and glories kept inside
Have made you immortal with pride

And so willed destiny’s hand
That it be an Amarantine man
To help restore our Portugal land

  Tez often makes alternate mixes of songs, and you can find them on his and all of our pages. He's a very talented producer, and we're all very grateful to have him on the team. 
  Also, please do yourself a favor and check out Didier's page. It's full of great music, too.
   We hope you enjoy listening to this version of this song as much as we enjoyed creating it.
Original lyrics by Didier Burli:
I wish I could stay awake but I need to sleep
Thunder is on it's way but I don't hear it
I don't fear the ghouls, and I don't fear the creeps
And with this dancing zombie, I don't know what to do with it
And I just get too much information....
in the middle of the night, when everything is silent....

(chorus) And the noise rises up
From all those things, that mankind does, that makes you want throw up

(chorus) And the noise rises up
From all those things, that mankind does that makes you want dream of

(chorus) And the noise rises up
From all those things that makes you scared of

(chorus) And the noise rises up
From all those things that mankind lost

And I just get too much information....
in the middle of the night, when everything is silent....

The Noise Rises Up - Llanpsyched

This one is a very nostalgic song that I wrote back in 2008, it has that early 60's vibe to it. My wife I needed some good vibrations since we were dealing with her Breast Cancer treatments and all that. We really needed a feel good song and so I wrote this. I even got her to sing background vocals with me on two songs at that time, this being the first and "Back In Younger Days" being the second, I'll be making a video on that one later on this year. 
    I double-tracked Charlie's vocals and he sang it perfectly! I remember having a real good time at these sessions, lots of laughing and finger snapping and rockin' & rollin' and what not!😂 I always want to relive the good ole days where smiles were plenty and frowns were few, like on "Memory Lane"! 

VIDEO - https://youtu.be/h5xvwxljOZc

     The video is brand spanking new, I just finished it last week! I worked hard on it for several days and tried to capture that Beach Boys kind of vibe of the early 1960's. I finished the video after hearing the sad news of Brian Wilson's passing on June 11th, 2025. That really made me sad, another of my musical hero's now gone. He was a real musical genius! There are 3 parts to the song, all about guys begging forgiveness from their girlfriends for something stupid that guys always seem to do, I Still Remember that!😂
     I think this is one Miami Jeff's best songs and certainly one of my favorites. It's very catchy and is a perfect summertime song! So I hope everyone is having a great summer and is eager to take another trip down Memory lane with me. This time to the beach! Let your hair down, take your shoes off, put the top down on the convertible and let the good times roll! Ooh, Ooh! Ooh!😎✌🏼

“I STILL REMEMBER”

I CAN STILL RECALL THE DAY I MADE YOU CRY,    
HOW I HURT YOU, YES I HURT YOU,    
I’M SO SORRY I COULD DIE,
               
I WAS YOUNG AND DIDN’T CARE IF YOU WERE SAD,   
NOW I’M OLDER, YES I’M OLDER,   
AND I MISS THE LOVE WE HAD,
                   
I REMEMBER, OOH, OOH,         
I STILL REMEMBER, OOH, OOH,        
THE WAY YOU HELD ME TIGHT,           
THE WAY WE KISSED GOODNIGHT,      
I REMEMBER, OOH, OOH,             
I STILL REMEMBER, OOH, OOH,         
THOSE SUMMERS ON THE BEACH,      
THEY’RE STILL WITHIN’ OUR REACH,       
SO PLEASE,         
IF THESE WORDS SOMEHOW TOUCH YOU DEEP INSIDE,       
MY WHOLE WORLD STILL IN YOUR EYES,       
SO PLEASE FORGIVE THIS FOOLISH HEART OF MINE,

I KNOW I WAS WRONG FOR TREATING YOU THAT WAY,  
PLEASE FORGIVE ME, JUST FORGIVE ME,   
GIVE ME ONE MORE CHANCE TO SAY,

I WILL NEVER BREAK YOUR HEART AS I DID THEN, 
I WILL LOVE YOU, ALWAYS LOVE YOU,  
IF YOU FILL MY ARMS AGAIN,
     
I REMEMBER, OOH, OOH,        
I STILL REMEMBER, OOH, OOH,          
THE WAY YOU HELD ME TIGHT,        
THE WAY WE KISSED GOODNIGHT,       
I REMEMBER, OOH, OOH,             
I STILL REMEMBER, OOH, OOH,               
THOSE SUMMERS ON THE BEACH,      
THEY’RE STILL WITHIN’ OUR REACH,       
SO PLEASE,      
IF THESE WORDS SOMEHOW TOUCH YOU DEEP INSIDE,     
MY WHOLE WORLD STILL IN YOUR EYES,         
SO PLEASE FORGIVE THIS FOOLISH HEART OF MINE,

I STILL REMEMBER, DARLING I REMEMBER,        
I STILL REMEMBER, DARLING I REMEMBER,         
I STILL REMEMBER, DARLING I REMEMBER.

Lyrics By: Paulo Sergio Carvalho

Ho sentito che sei tornata qua
Il tuo nome fa male e mi fa tremar
Sei scappata, ti ho lasciata andar
Ma io non ho mai smesso di aspettar

Eravamo fuoco senza controllo
Bruciava forte, lasciando un vuoto
Tu eri il mio mondo, io uno sciocco
Ora farei di tutto per cambiare il gioco

Lascia che io sia il tuo Superman
Anche se crollo, resto in piedi, se puoi
Passo tra le rovine e il dolore
Solo per averti ancora tra noi
Tu cercavi salvezza — anch’io
Ora o cado… o volo con te, amore mio

Porti addosso un passato in silenzio
Lo vedo ogni volta che chiudi il tuo tempo
Ma ricordo bene com’eri tu
Prima che il mondo ti spegnesse di più

Dicevano: “è solo una follia”
Ma l’età non insegna a dare empatia
Ho spezzato ciò che era già fragile
Ora darei ogni passo per un giorno stabile

Lascia che io sia il tuo Superman
Non quel ragazzo che scappava, e poi
Mi prendo il peso, anche la caduta
Se serve a riaverti con me, se vuoi
Tu volevi verità, non illusioni
Io sono l’unico che sa dove l’amore si rompe

Niente mantello, né voli in cielo
Solo un uomo che non sa dirti addio
Ma se ho ancora un respiro in petto
Lo userò ora — per cambiare il mio destino

Lascia che io sia il tuo Superman
Anche se non era dentro i tuoi piani
Anche se vuoi andare via

Ti chiederò ancora: “resta qui, rimani”
Tu volevi più di ciò che io sapevo dar
Ma ora so bene cosa vuol dire amar

Se arrivo tardi, dimmelo piano
Mi prenderò tutto, è il mio destino
Lascia che io sia il tuo Superman

Anche se crollo qui dove sto in piedi
Niente mantello, soltanto le mani
Fatte per amarti — senza domani

Se non sarò quello che sceglierai
Lotterò lo stesso, non mi arrenderai
Perché salvarti è sempre stato il mio piano
Anche se sono solo… un uomo spezzato.

Se non sarò quello che sceglierai
Lotterò lo stesso, non mi arrenderai
Perché salvarti è sempre stato il mio piano
Anche se sono solo… un uomo spezzato.

Lascia Che io Sia il Tuo Superman (Italian)

A dear friend asked me if I wanted to set one of his poems to music. Well, I did. And this is what came out of it...

The title of the poem is “Augenblick”, which means "moment", but literally “blink of an eye”.

Augenblick (by Hans H. Hiebel)

Tender day
The eye-lid of the night
Has opened
Time
Is twinkling at us
And because everything is divided
And must be divided
We twinkle back
And death
Closes the lid


Composition, vocal, guitar and piano by Joliz.

The track wouldn't be the same without Robert S. Dean... Thank you!

Hi Everyone!
This is a special version of my piece called „Love Song”.
A few days ago, Brian Wilson - one of the greatest creators of pop rock music and a surf rock icon - passed away! R.I.P. 🍀

————————————-
Below are a few words from me as a listener and fan of Brian’s music! - - - - -

Brian’s songs, both recorded with The Beach Boys and solo songs, are always innovative and enjoyable at the same time 🔆

The album “Pet Sounds” (released in 1966) by The Beach Boys is a real masterpiece that enchants and inspires many musicians to this day!
The wonderful song “God Only Knows” which comes from this album is the work of Brian Wilson. One of several best songs of all time indeed! 😎

Also worth recommending is Brian Wilson's solo album entitled “Smile” (released only in 2004) which includes the brilliant track "Good Vibrations”. The whole album impresses with its fresh ideas and innovative sound! 

I really love it 🔆 I'm sure Brian Wilson's beautiful and fascinating music will stay with us forever!

Good Vibrations…
Love Vibrations… 

I hope you enjoy my tribute to Brian! 🍀

Many thanks for listening and support!
Artur

Love Vibrations

MMXXIIVXXVIIHNNHGZ

This song was written for my beautiful wife Anita shortly after we both met. One of many I've written her, she is after all the love of my life. She put an end to that crazy mid-life crisis I was struggling with for 6 years! I really like this ballad and I re-recorded it this year and wanted Charlie to sing it but he cancelled out on several occasions for personal reasons, so I went ahead and sang it myself, I guess I should have waited!  (please forgive my awful vocals and harms!). It's a very basic and raw song and I didn't record a lot of instruments and I didn't do a lot of overdubs, maybe I should have, maybe a piano or some more strings would have helped it a bit. It's one of my favorite love songs that I have written and it's very personal, both lyrics and medley came to me rather easily and quickly, maybe an hour at most! Those are the best, the ones that come to you without you even having to think about it, they come straight from the heart. 

VIDEO - https://youtu.be/MpZ8iI_Sme4

The video is brand new and I had a lot of fun putting it together. I worked for several days on it. I hope everyone enjoys it and just in case anybody doesn't already know, my wife is "More Than Wonderful!"😂 I know a lot of people won't appreciate this song but it means the world to me! Thanks for listening and take care!🙏😎✌🏼

“MORE THAN WONDERFUL"

YOU’RE MORE THAN WONDERFUL MY DARLING,   
AND MORE THAN WONDERFUL YOU’LL STAY,   
JUST THE IDEA OF YOU TAKES MY BREATH AWAY,   
EVERY MINUTE OF EVERY HOUR OF EVERY DAY,  
YOU’RE LIKE A DREAM COME TRUE,    
A MIRACLE TO FILL THIS BROKEN HEART,  
YOU’RE MORE THAN WONDERFUL,
MORE THAN WONDERFUL YOU ARE,     

YOU’RE SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL MY DARLING,  
AND BEAUTIFUL YOU’LL ALWAYS BE,   
GRACEFUL AS AN ANGEL AND GENTLE AS THE SEA,   
SOOTHING AS A SONGBIRD’S MELODY,   
YOU’RE THE ANSWER TO MY PRAYERS,   
BACK WHEN I WISHED UPON A STAR,   
YOU’RE MORE THAN WONDERFUL,   
MORE THAN WONDERFUL YOU ARE,
         
IT’S NO SURPRISE,       
HOW YOU HEALED ME IN AN INSTANT,        
CURED ME WITH A SMILE,        
NOW ALL THE WHILE,        
I’M LIKE A CHILD,        
AGAIN,

AND WITHOUT YOU HEAVEN ONLY KNOWS,  
I WOULDN’T GET TOO FAR,   
YOU’RE MORE THAN WONDERFUL,   
MORE THAN WONDERFUL YOU ARE,   
YOU’RE MORE THAN WONDERFUL,   
MORE THAN WONDERFUL YOU ARE,
YOU ARE.

winter time festival fun in Tasmania- it was COLD and Dani and I thought we had been a bit pretty with our Live offerings lately so we decided to bring the noise for this little gig, so fair warning... there is some rude nosies ahead : ) Always a pleasure

Kirby/Ward LIVE @ Good Grief Studios/Dark Mofo festival

“GRAVI ERRORI GIUDIZIARI “

Sono innocente

Egregio concittadino sopraindicato  
Le scrivo questa lettera in nome dello stato  
Con l'autorità che mi è stata concessa  
E per questa divisa che io porto addosso  

Sò che lei ha gridato da sempre la sua innocenza  
E non è stato preso mai in considerazione  
Già dai giorni della sua prima udienza  
Fino ai giorni della sua carcerazione  

E devo dire in qualità di direttore  
Che in tutti questi anni di giacenza  
Per tutti noi lei è stata un'istituzione  
Ed un testimone della sua pazienza  

In questo carcere lei è stato un modello  
Lei che ha visto capi di stato passare  
Ed io che ora le sono vicino come un fratello  
Mi piange il cuore quando le sento dire  

Sono innocente perchè non sò far male  
Sono innocente perchè mi piace amare  
Ma il mio cuore è un vaso pieno di tristezza  
Dove l'amore non potrà mai più entrare  
Sono innocente e Dio mi è testimone  
E con la fede solo lui mi può aiutare  
Ma il mio cuore è un vaso pieno di tristezza  
Dove l'amore non potrà mai più entrare  

Oggi nell'era della modernizzazione  
Il suo caso è stato riesaminato  
È stato preso il suo fascicolo in questione  
E la scientifica lo ha rielaborato  

Le chiedo scusa in nome dello stato  
E personalmente sono mortificato  
Contro di lei non si è trovato niente  
Caro detenuto lei ora è un innocente  

E già da ora lei da qui può uscire  
Ma francamente non sò dove potrà andare  
E se vuole per lei io mi farò garante  
Vorrei che lei vivesse dignitosamente  

E le chiedo scusa per il danno procurato  
Per la giustizia e per la nostra incompetenza  
Nella mia mente sento il canto disperato  
Quel giusto canto della sua innocenza  

Sono innocente perchè non sò far male  
Sono innocente perchè mi piace amare  
Ma il mio cuore è un vaso pieno di tristezza  
Dove l'amore non potrà mai più entrare  
Sono innocente e Dio mi è testimone  
E con la fede solo lui mi può aiutare  
Ma il mio cuore è un vaso pieno di tristezza  
Dove l'amore ormai non potrà più entrare

Sono innocente

Urban Decay is a UK indie album that channels the spirit of British guitar music from the 1960s to the present day. Built around jangly, melodic guitars and a raw, DIY production style, the record draws clear influence from the iconic lineage of bands that shaped the UK indie landscape—think the introspective lyricism of The Smiths, the swagger of Britpop giants like Blur and Oasis, and the experimental edge of modern indie revivalists.

The album’s sound is rooted in the classic indie tradition: shimmering guitar tones, understated yet evocative vocals, and arrangements that balance melancholy with bursts of energy. Each track weaves together the melodic sensibilities of 60s British pop, the gritty textures of punk and post-punk, and the anthemic hooks that defined the Britpop era, all while nodding to the genre’s ever-evolving modern forms.

Urban Decay explores themes of city life, nostalgia, and resilience, capturing both the beauty and the grit of urban existence. The guitars—sometimes bright and jangly, other times drenched in reverb or distortion—serve as the backbone, echoing the timeless sounds of UK indie while pushing into new territory. For fans of Arctic Monkeys, The Libertines, The Smiths, and Blur, this album offers a fresh yet familiar journey through the ever-changing streets of British guitar music.

Plug in and let Urban Decay soundtrack your city nights and early mornings—where the echoes of the past meet the pulse of now.

Worlds collide

"Love and Pain" delivers a quintessential UK indie rock experience, blending raw emotion with rich, guitar-driven soundscapes. Rooted in the indie ethos of creative freedom and authenticity, this track channels the sharp, melodic guitar work reminiscent of iconic British indie bands, while exploring the complex interplay of love’s highs and lows. With its dynamic riffs and heartfelt lyrics, "Love and Pain" invites listeners into a sonic journey that balances intensity with introspective vulnerability—a true reflection of the indie spirit that thrives on innovation and emotional depth.

Love and Pain

Atmosphere 9 - Roberto B & Alex M

I apologize, the set isn't clean. It's a live set.

Underground Progressive House Stuff (Is Not Clean Live Set)

Music, lyrics, vocal & ac. guitar : Grave
Other instruments & mix : PJ Project

Time waits for no one

I just redid the mix and fixed the drums, and some of the more glaring vocal problems, and got that cool guitar lead to shine a little. It sounds a lot better now.
Please pardon my vocals, this is actually for a female artist. Not autobiographical, just a story. My apologies to Irma Thomas.

You were my angel, and i was under your spell
And you promised life would be a fairytale
But i was no more than your possession
And you put me through hell
Though you called it heaven

And everytime i tried to leave, you’d just wave your hand
And I’d come crawling back on my knees
I would pray you’d treat me better
When you’d smile at me so sad and so sweet

But something’s changed inside, I can see now who you are
and that sweet smile aint gonna get you very far!

Now who’s the one? Who’s down on their knees?
No need to beg, there’s nothing left that you can take from me
You don’t have any power here no more
Well you’ve lost your wings, and I know just what you’re here for
You are no angel, you are a devil, to the core
And you ain’t welcome here no more

Don’t come back inside, don’t put your bags down on the floor
You ain’t welcome here no more

You ain't welcome here no more

let me be there for you

Oh yé
Vous entendez entendez
Vous voyez voyez
Vous bouger bouger
Vous danser danser
Dans l'évolution progressive
Oh yé yé yé yé

Show Me Your Sexy Tattoo, Lyrics Gerald E. Greene

(no genAI involved - my voice and VST instruments)
At 55 years old, I am a grandfather and am rediscovering the magic of a newborn baby. When we see this innocence and fragility, we retrieve in each of us that simple but wonderful thing that is humanity.
(traduit plus bas)
---
It's not another morning
Not anymore
So deep inside me
I'm only starting to understand
Like never before
  
When living is so real
Your tiny hands are dreaming
And my heart is healing
My baby I can feel
Your soul, the meaning
A world arising  

My love,my son
Born of your ancestors
Now you're the sun, I'm your universe
You'll find me always there

I never knew the silence
Could speak so loud
You breathe, I listen
The world now slows just to hear from you
And time itself bows down

When living is so real
Your tiny hands are dreaming
And my heart is healing
Through my chest I can feel
Your soul, the meaning
A world arising

When living is so real
Your smile becomes the meaning
And hope  is softly ringing
My baby, you reveal
These beautiful things
That you imagine

When living is so real
Your tiny hands are dreaming
And my heart is healing
Through my chest I can feel
Your soul, the meaning
A world arising

When living is so real
I'm dreaming
I'm healing
When living is so real
I see the meaning
The world's arising
----
Ce n'est pas un matin comme les autres
Plus maintenant
Au plus profond de moi
Je commence seulement à comprendre
Comme jamais auparavant
  
Quand la vie est si réelle
Tes petites mains rêvent
Et mon cœur guérit
Mon bébé, je peux sentir
Ton âme, le sens
Un monde qui naît

Mon amour, mon fils
Né de tes ancêtres
Maintenant, tu es le soleil, je suis ton univers
Tu me trouveras toujours là

Je ne savais pas que le silence
Pouvait parler si fort
Tu respires, j'écoute
Le monde ralentit maintenant juste pour t'entendre
Et le temps lui-même s'incline

Quand la vie est si réelle
Tes petites mains rêvent
Et mon cœur guérit
À travers ma poitrine, je peux sentir
Ton âme, le sens
Un monde qui naît
 
Quand la vie est si réelle
Ton sourire devient le sens
Et l'espoir  sonne doucement
Mon bébé, tu révèles
Ces belles choses
Que tu imagines

Quand la vie est si réelle
Tes petites mains rêvent
Et mon cœur guérit
À travers ma poitrine, je peux sentir
Ton âme, le sens
Un monde qui naît

Quand la vie est si réelle
Je rêve
Je guéris
Quand la vie est si réelle
Je vois le sens
Le monde qui naît

When living is so real

This song tells the story of an aging former Walk of Fame movie star who once basked in the Hollywood limelight and was everyone’s sweetheart on the silver screen. With the passage of time, fewer screen roles come her way, and she begins to depend on red wine to cope with her depression and grief. Eventually, she decides to end it all. Indeed, glory, fame and fortune are a young girl's game in Hollywood, which is riddled with stereotypes of beauty and youth. This emotional and moving song is a dedication to those who have taken their lives over the years in Hollywood and elsewhere due to societal pressures to retain their youth, beauty and fame.  On October 2, 2025, hit No. 15 on the Euro Indie Music Network chart list. On October 20, 2025 this song hit No. 7 on the World Indie Top 100 Music Chart list.

Ripples of Time

Ripples Of Time MASTERED- Wav

So nice that my longtime collaborator friend @dough-factory has returned to SoundCloud after a break of a couple years! This is our first track working together since then and it came together in a really cool way. I was inspired by Ryan's electronic drums and bass to lay down some rhythm guitar as well as a few synth leads. Then he came up with some awesome lyrics/vocals that I think captures the vibe of this piece quite well.

Keep an eye out for more from us, we are thinking of pulling together a whole album or EP over the coming months.

      Howdy everyone! Ok I did a little reshuffling here and bumped this song to the front of the line! I just finished the video and put about a weeks work into it! It's a comic relief song, a novelty, about getting old! They say we should write about things we know, and I know about getting older!😂 I wrote the song in 2021 during the pandemic because we needed some comedy then and I think we need some comedy now too! This is something my friends and me used to say at work all the time when we'd forget something or did something stupid like ask where your glasses are when they are on top of your head!😂 I tweaked the lyrics a little and took several curse words out of the song but kept a couple in, so beware people, please don't call the Profanity Police on me! They're mild words like "shit" and "ass" nothing more than that!  There are some words of wisdom thrown in there too like in all my songs. It's just a fun song and video! 

VIDEO - https://youtu.be/U--jt1-4FEY

     I wrote it to a Latin Rock beat, kind of like a Santana song. I remember it took me several weeks to record the backing track because I added a ton of stuff on it Bass, Piano, Acoustic and Electric guitars, percussion, I worked very hard on it, it's all just me playing eveything with a Drum Machine because I don't play the drums. A little bit Salsa, a little bit Rock & Roll because that's how I roll!😂 The vocals are all me and I recorded them last week, I was going to have Charlie sing it but I decided to do it myself because we've been stuck on this other song for a month now and I have like 30 songs ready to go. So please forgive the vocals! The video is funny and I spent a couple weeks on that as well. It's about getting old and forgetting words and your body hurting and falling asleep, and telling kids to get off your lawn! The usual things that come with getting older. Basically "Old man yelling at clouds" syndrome!😂 I know how that is!  The video will drop on YouTube in a couple of weeks! I hope everyone laughs with me and not at me! But I won't mind as long as you laugh a little!! So sit back and have a laugh on me! Cheers! 🍻

"WE GOT THE OLDS" (Video - https://youtu.be/U--jt1-4FEY)

I had a dream to be a basketball player when I was very young.I gave it up, but kept watching ball games for years. I wrote this song Inspired by the great players’ super plays and strong minds.
And this is a song for all the people who are fighting in the life.

Lyrics 

Just wannabe my self, Stand!
Don’t know what to do
I know without ( what) I used to be
 Ice cold in my hands , upside down to sky

Tried to understand 
Let you know
Take my hands tonight 

I see you , Shooting Star to flow inside
Befalling Rising Stars, too grace

I can’t take my eyes off all of you
If you down I’ll be staying with you 
If you fall (you) could be staying with me

Shooting Star

[Verse] He feels the world through whispers near The rustling leaves a song so clear A silent symphony guides his way The unseen sun still lights his day

[Verse 2] His fingers trace what eyes can't see A story carved in bark and tree The wind it tells of distant shores Each note a world that he explores

[Chorus] He sees the world in echoes bright A touch a sound a fleeting light The colors bloom where silence grows A vivid life the blind man knows

[Verse 3] The pavement hums beneath his feet A city's heart its steady beat Each voice a thread in woven air A tapestry beyond compare

[Bridge] Oh close your eyes and hear it too The world alive in shades of blue No need for sight to understand The beauty felt by heart and hand

[Chorus] He sees the world in echoes bright A touch a sound a fleeting light The colors bloom where silence grows A vivid life the blind man knows

The Blindman Knows

Never Saw It Coming is an emotional pop/R&B song about unexpected heartbreak. The lyrics capture the shock of love ending suddenly, leaving only confusion and pain. With powerful and heartfelt vocals, the song blends vulnerability and intensity, portraying the struggle of facing loss that arrived without warning, shattering trust and hope.

Bad Girl

This is a cover song written by Lolly Vegas of Redbone. Redbone was a native american rock band. It was a big hit in 1974 and again in 2013 as one of many songs in the outstanding soundtrack for the film "Gaudians Of The Galaxy". I recorded the song with Charlie singing as a birthday present for my wife's niece's son Lucca several years ago. When my wife's sister and her kids were visiting us that year we all decided to go down to my studio and I recorded them singing backing vocals to the song and then we decided to video tape us all lip-syncing to the recorded track. I then later video taped Charlie lip-syncing to the song too. My wife then put all the video tapes together with added commentary before and after the video for Lucca.

VIDEO - https://youtu.be/XzPez-ALPtk

 I decided to make a video of the song for YouTube without the personnal coimmentaries. So this video has the following line up: Charlie singing lead and playing the cowbell; Me playing guitar in the stenson hat; my awesome brother playing Bass in the Colombian hat; My wife and her sister Nora and her kids Gabby and Pablo singing back-up. We were all lip-syncing to my recorded track. I think it needs more cowbell, what do you guys think?😂 It was a fun sessions and I thought everyone would get a kick of watching us on the video. My wife video taped my parts and I video taped Charlie and them singing. This is my gift to all my followers so you can see what we look like! Charlie and I are not really much to look at either but we are who we are!😂 I hope you guys like it! It's a great song! (*Easter Egg: That's really me on the Bass! Ha, ha! 😂) Happy Labor Day to everyone! 🙏😎✌🏼
