I'm way behind on listening to lots of people, but I'll gradually catch up... Here I'm discovering the best, and I thank you for that. Best wishes 👍👏👏!!

Nice. I love creating a narrative around objects - such great opportunities for metaphors. I had a song about cassette tapes like this. We read in our house. Big readers since we were very young. Reposted!

Wow, this is ea vice idea for a song. I like it!

Nice ！　good vocal and rock guitar play !!

🎭🎭Fantastic Track Jeff🎭🎭
🎭I use to read a lot back in my early years until I got my first Accordion/Recorder/drums/Trumpet/piano
since then I rarely pick up a book..
As I got older it got even worse since I became a Pro Photographer ..
Then computers came along and I became an IT computer tech (Security & Network)

So I never found time to read …but I do live vicariously through my wife ( Jodi ) who reads & reviews books for famous authors 
She (we) also owns 2 small libraries etc etc
I can’t walk anywhere in my house without stumbling through piles of donated books waiting to be read & stamped and added to our libraries 

So I fully get your song Jeff 😊😊😊

This playlist is a tribute to all the amazing musicians and friends who support me on my journey. Here you’ll find their tracks – each one representing creativity, passion, and community. Music connects, inspires, and builds bridges – and that’s exactly what this collection is about.

Circle of Sound

Hello everyone,

Many of you probably know this feeling. You start making music and completely lose track of time. The hours fly by, and suddenly it's late in the evening or even nighttime. I wanted to capture this theme in a lighthearted and humorous way.

I'm really happy that I was able to produce this song together with Mike Fox. Mike liked my idea for the arrangement and lyrics right away, and he was immediately on board. How much we appreciate each other can definitely be heard in the lyrics.

For this song, we were also able to bring in two guest singers—but just listen for yourselves! What they sing is probably something everyone in a relationship has heard at some point – or am I wrong?

Mike and I certainly hear it very, very often! 😆

------------------------------------------------

"We Should Be Asleep By Now"

Axel walks in, right on time,
Says “let’s rehearse” – I pour some wine.
He’s got a plan, I improvise,
But rock ain't played by suits and ties!

Mike plugs in, makes feedback scream,
Calls it “tone,” I call it a meme.
He swears his solos shake the land,
But his hands shake more—he can’t withstand!

We should be asleep by now,
But here we are, we rock somehow!
One more song, then one more beer,
Proud and loud we still are here!

You press one key, a full band plays,
No fight, no sweat—just modern ways!
I bend my strings, I break my bones,
You sip green tea and check your phone!

Oh please, Rockstar, not so loud,
Last night you snored and shook the crowd!
You call my sound too clean, too bright,
But at least my back don’t ache at night!

We should be asleep by now,
But here we are, we rock somehow!
One more song, then one more beer,
Proud and loud we still are here!

My riffs still shake my hometowns sky!

My chords still make the neighbors cry!

Six strings, raw soul, full of might!

But my keys sound’s programmed right! (Here we go)

We should be asleep by now...

Come on, Mike, let's listen to the backing singers.

You should be asleep by now!

Oh Axel, put on your glasses, these are our wives.

You should be asleep by now! 
You should be asleep by now!

Alright, Axel, your keys ain’t bad…

And Mike, your solos (still) drive ‘em mad!

We battle, we clash, we push the fight,
But side by side, we light the night! 

We should be asleep by now,
But here we are, we rock somehow!
One more song, then one more beer,
Proud and loud we still are here!

82_ Lovely Punch - released on 12 August 2025

I was trapped in dreariness. And that in the middle of summer! So, get out of there! With a really punchy beat and beautiful guitar sounds ;-)#electronic #techno #trance #liverecording

(produced with BlocsWave & LaunchPad)

Lovely Punch

In the dusty attic of his grandfather’s old house, Dan, who suffers from insomnia, finds a yellowed parchment in the middle of the night. Part of the old eccentric’s legacy? Long ago, he had roamed dark forests, crossed deserts, and explored inaccessible mountains.

The parchment shows, though only faintly, a location in El Caramar — the legendary place his grandfather had told so many stories about. Without delay, Dan sets out in search of further clues. The route leads across the storm-lashed Horka Sea, inhabited by dark creatures. Upstream, through narrow gorges, he must face the natives who guarded the entrance to El Caramar and the secret it conceals.

This purely orchestral music draws on the clichés of film scores from the 1980s to the 2000s. Instead of a clearly recognizable theme or leitmotif, I tried to express rapidly shifting moods through specific instrumentation.

A gentle melody with harp arpeggios immediately transitions into a menacing rhythmic section with chromatic harmony, followed by a tension-filled passage with a strong element of aleatoric writing. The now accelerating tempo leads to the main motif but shifts directly into an action-packed part with string staccatos.

The motif is then varied and played at half speed by solo strings, taking on a very sorrowful tone. But then the mood turns serious. Low brass and a string ostinato lead to the climax of the piece, another variation of the theme in which the choir joins in at full volume.

Sideways

Hearing shots again
What can be done?
Sometimes it feels
like there is no room for reason.

In the days of punk
'79
Wine and dine, all seemed fine 
but times were changing

  Sideways down the slope
  Sliding into the rope

They pawned the truth out
and bartered the facts
These moodswings hit me sideways
no happy ending these days.

Cover my back, wipe the tracks
It seems wise, 
not to blow 
this disguise yet 

  Sideways down the slope 
  Sliding into the rope 

You cancel me
I cancel you
what we're gonna do now?
try to get out somehow

Fingers crossed
hope for the best
but prepare for the worst
in these present troubled times

  Scattershots matter not
  Sideways down the slope
  Sliding into the rope

What Remains Unspoken

Error enthralls in the bonds of iniquity
Flattering tongues love a lie
Misleading minds love denying reality
Injustice rules every mind 

Soothing false smiles all around, no integrity
Everywhere blind leading blind                
Carelessly living in mindless prosperity
All living on borrowed time 
  
The watchmen are blind 
The shepherds are weak 
The dogs never made a sound        
Their lives are facades and hearts never seek
Then I heard the lion’s roar 
       
God’s dawn breaks, he’s drawing nigh
Improve your time each moment
Build up his kingdom within you
Receive his blessings promised

People are pleasing themselves and each other
Think kindness is flattering tongues
Draped in facades no one sees who they really are
He’ll not know them when he comes

Fire of reality strikes at security
Piercing the clouds with it’s might
Comfort is gone truth will strike at impurity
Darkness cannot stand God’s light
        
The watchmen are blind 
The shepherds are weak 
The dogs never made a sound     
Their lives are facades and hearts never seek
Then they heard the lion’s roar 
         
Wolves soothe peace, peace, but there is no peace
And they speak with bowed tongues
God says cease, cease from iniquity
Be clean, for the Lion comes
       
God’s dawn breaks, he’s drawing nigh
Improve your time each moment
Build up his kingdom within you
Receive his blessings promised
              
Turn from your sins; do them no more for
God’s mercy is here for a time
Through Christ our Lord be forgiven, be justified
Sinless, become sanctified

Improve your time while you can night is drawing nigh
Value the truth and God’s fire
When justice comes there is no time to work or cry out
For you’ll hear his roar
                 
The watchmen are blind 
The shepherds are weak 
The dogs never made a sound       
Their lives are facades and hearts never seek
Then we heard the lion’s roar 
      
God’s dawn breaks, he’s drawing nigh
Improve your time each moment
Build up his kingdom within you
Receive his blessings promised

A simple, little weird Original track
Music made in GarageBand
Lyrics & vocals by me

Lyrics:

In your house you want to feel like home
If you can't feel it
You don't want to be there!
On your sofa you want to feel relaxed
If you can't feel it
You don't want to be there!

Mmm...Mmm...Mmm...Mmm

In your kitchen you want to make food
If you can't do it
You don't want to be there!
On a plate you want to serve something good
If it's not good
You don't want to serve it!

Mmm...Mmm...Mmm...Mmm...

In your bedroom you want to get some sleep
If you can't sleep
You don't want to be there!
In your bed you want to feel good
If you can't feel it
You don't want to be there!

Mmm...Mmm...Mmm...Mmm...

You Dont Want To Be There (Original)

So, our friend (assuming he really is our friend) is no longer alone at home. The work week is over, it’s been a hard one. Maybe for both of them: for him, and for the woman now leaning out the window. There’s a touch of unease in the air, and it’s not necessarily connected to how things are going between them. Maybe something is about to happen. Or maybe not. The only sure thing is that they’re not interested in finding out.

This is the fourth in a series of eight easy, acoustic, rather short, and deliberately inconclusive tracks, assembled by combining new ideas with reworked older material, adding parts and sounds along the way. This time I struggled to make it to the end, adding and removing, changing and restoring and working to the mix. I probably messed things up a bit (thirty recorded tracks, twenty of them muted...), but never mind.

J'aime bien ce morceau et cet artiste qui est très connu,

Ce morceau est un extrait de l'album
"La Dernière Séance" enregistré à Nashville (Tennessee)

Cette chanson figurait dans le générique et
donnait son nom à une émission de télévision
animée par Eddy Mitchell lui même, de 1982 à 1998
qui était consacrée aux classiques du cinéma américain.
(dont je raffole)

J'adore aller au cinéma et toujours à la "dernière séance"...

Once again, I honor French songs.

I like this track and this artist, who is very well-known (in France),
but we don't hear much about him...
This track is taken from the album
"La Dernière Séance" recorded in Nashville, Tennessee.

This song was featured in the credits and
leaved its name to a television show
hosted by Eddy Mitchell himself, from 1982 to 1998
dedicated to American cinema classics.
(which I love)

I love going to the movies, and always to the "last screening"...

To Hide

This is a another song written during the pandemic in 2022. It's about the joy of reading! I know we don't read hardly anymore that's why we are pretty ignorant about science and math, look it up, don't take my word for it!! I still enjoy reading, it sparks my creativity, and opens up my imagination! It's really fabulous the trips we can make with our imagination by just reading. I whipped up seveal tales and weaved them all together into a Rock song. It is also about what happens to unread books that just turn to dust on our shelves. (Read H.G. Wells "The Time Machine" or at least watch the 1960 film!). I guess we will soon have no need for libraries!  Just I-phones! This is an adventure song, my Indiana Jones song!  

VIDEO - https://youtu.be/2R-hnrBwiDQ

      The video is brand new with loads of eye-candy for everybody. I thnk I finished it a few months ago. It'll take you on several exciting adventures!! I hope people enjoy it, we must continue to read books because when we stop reading books, then we will stop having independent thought and we become nothing more than brain dead sheep!  I'm sure that's what some evil people actually want! (Look what they did to Jimmy Kimmel!!). Read a book before they censor them and take them away! Take a look, crack a book, I guarenteed that you'll get hooked! Take care!🙏😎✌🏼

“UNREAD BOOK”

READ ME WHILE YOU CAN,     
I MIGHT JUST TURN TO DUST AND CRUMBLE IN YOUR HANDS,   
BUT I'LL NEVER WASTE YOUR TIME,               
LET ME PROVE TO YOU,    
I'M MORE THAN BORING WORDS DOWN POINTLESS AVENUES,      
I'M ALWAYS WORTH A SECOND LOOK, 
               
I'M AN UNREAD BOOK,         
I'M AN UNREAD BOOK,
  
READ ME, IF YOU CARE,    
WE'LL GO TO PLACES WHERE YOUR HEART WOULD NEVER DARE,      
IN A JOURNEY OF THE MIND,    
LEAVE IT UP TO ME,   
ALL YOU NEED IS THE YEARNING AND THE COURAGE TO BELIEVE,
JUST ONE LOOK WILL GET YOU HOOKED,
                       
I'M AN UNREAD BOOK,           
I'M AN UNREAD BOOK,     
     
A TRIP TO THE MOON OR AN ADVENTURE AT SEA,              
LET MY WORDS SET YOUR MIND FREE,                
A ROMANTIC RENDEZVOUS OR BUBBLE BATH BY CANDLELIGHT,
A CHRISTMAS DAY OR AN ARABIAN NIGHT,
            
I'M AN UNREAD BOOK,             
I'M AN UNREAD BOOK, 

IF YOU'RE LONELY, COUNT ON ME,  
THERE'S NO END OF THE ROAD ONLY POSSIBILITIES,   
IMAGINATION'S ALL IT TOOK,
             
I'M AN UNREAD BOOK,             
I'M AN UNREAD BOOK.

PRISM / REFRACTIONS

The Dystopian Present:

Track 4 plunges the listener into the chaos of the world as it is now, a present filled with suffering, injustice, and hypocrisy. It captures the contrast between those who claim to “speak for the light” and the reality of children starving, cities crumbling, and wars raging. The lyrics are a mirror of society’s delusion: people so caught in their own ego or ideology that they fail to act where it matters most. Yet beneath the dark imagery, the persistent G-Funk groove serves as the pulse of resilience, a reminder that even in dystopia, awareness and truth can carry the faintest spark of hope. The track exists to shake listeners awake, to show that love without action is hollow, and that the world demands clarity, courage, and intervention.

**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!👍😎✌🏼.

🎶 About My Music — DestKorn

My music tells stories without words—rooted in emotion, shaped by melancholy, quiet strength, and cinematic depth.
With piano, strings, understated electronics, and expressive vocals, I craft soundscapes that move you and leave space for your own thoughts.

Every piece is handcrafted: I write, arrange, and produce using professional virtual instruments and real elements.
I work with Spitfire Audio, Virharmonic, Kirk Hunter Studios, Native Instruments, EastWest, and 8Dio, combined with my own recording and sound-design workflow.

I use voice synthesis (ACE Studio) only in rare cases—specifically when no suitable singer can be found.
Whenever synthesis is used, I state it clearly in the track description.
It’s a subtle color, never a substitute for composition or expression, and always within a framework I fully compose myself.

The creative vision, the musical structure, and the emotion are 100% mine.
I believe in music that sounds real—because it is real.

Thank you for listening—and for feeling.

– DestKorn 🎶❤️🎶
