Lyrics:
Modern Times

Verse 1

Am I playing the wrong game —- where losing’s a crime
Time’s just not the same—-and there’s no one here to blame
In these modern times——where machines reigns supreme 
breaking all the chains——-to fulfill my dreams
————And that’s a solid —because—- yeah—— I’m back————-
Metaphors and rhymes——-my weapons on this track
Modulating -from the underground ——one culture one voice
And we’re —-wired in like teeth—-like we—-ever—-had a choice

Chorus

Modern times---- a difficult maze
Where screens captivate —— the Information Age
And—-We're all connected——yet we’re—also——-alone
Lost in a sea of pixels----hearts ———-—cold as stone
Modern times————Modern times ——-Modern times

Verse 2

Smartphones--at our side—-our constant companions
That double-edged sword—-has become ——-part of the norm
buzzing Notifications——like a relentless swarm
Distracting —us ——-from moments —-another task ——to perform 
Just another monster ———taking physical form

**Chorus**

Bridge

Artificial intelligence--- a marvel and a threat
Replacing human minds--- leaving us —-deep in debt
Algorithms —-determine our fate—without regret—-
Like marionettes ———or puppets on a strings
Manipulating our thoughts——damn—we are feeding these things

Verse 3

Social media——-a stage ——for the soul to bare
Beneath the surface——lies ——and deceptions —-are clear
We curate our lives——-like a perfect facade
our true selves———pushed aside ——in total disregard

**Chorus**

Outro

In this digital age---we must find our way
Embracing the power——with a huge price to pay
There’s a balance for the screens —-in real life
With the key to our future——a new vision insight

Had my lovely acoustic piano tuned recently so felt like it was time for some song writing there. 😊❤️

Thanks to my lovely BF Sander for this wonderful mastering job. @wane-of-summer for his fabulous music 😊🎶❤️🎵🎼🎹

Love Me And Leave Me (with acoustic piano)

1980's inspired nostalgia. 
Co produced with my wife, Olivia Grant, as she recommended for me to change the original lead guitar part so it is more melodic and not loads of notes played in your face. I think it worked for the better.
Hope you all enjoy listening 🎧

Ash to ash
Dust to Dust
Here we go again
I pray to god but I swear
I don't think his listening
I fear the man in the mirror
worse than the Boogie Man!!
I held my mothers rosary inside my hand
Baby if you really know who I am
I don't think you would want to hold really my hand!!

London Bridge has fallen down!!
The sky has turned to red!!
The oceans fill with blood!!
I am the Monster here!!
The mask has fallen down!!
I'm the monster now!!
I hope you run!!

I found another vocal treasure on Looperman.

Lyrics:

The first step I've made 
had burnt me down without a trace
 Inhaling smoke, I've exhaled you

Suffocating underwater 
I hope I won't go much further 
breathless watching how my world goes upside down 
Suffocating underwater
 I hope I won't go much further upside down

I'm the last leaf, you are the wind - 
strong and cold, soon I'm falling, 
But it's better to be on the ground 
than soaring high and never be found

Upside Down - OMCB

The line "smoking cigarettes with god" came from a Adam Madgecki-Janicki
poem that we collaborated on long ago__

Johnny Stole the matches

mother mother may I have another moment in the brilliant light
sister bother seeking renovation
in an nation with an ugly reputation-
but never meeting in the middle
and craters morphing into something more connected,
lovers haters closely followed by the wind
that wanders all about
while we shout
We didn't know the difference
and we didn't till much later
when the blooms had all fallen from the Bush--

And I was standing at the crossroads
smoking cigarettes with god
while she was telling jokes about the devil-
momma said don't play with fire
Johnny Stole the matches just to spite her
that little shit
he set the house on fire-

always hope to give and get a final gesture of concern
That's not too much to ask-
all things being equal as they are, how far we must have traveled when we wagered on a winner and free dinner and other things
that sings about a history told by a boneless prophet
in a moment of reprisal on the holy desert
about a girly in a whirly swirly apparition-

Will you tell me if you know the truth about the candle in the window
and why it's Lit? 
and the where abouts of the lighter
was he fighter in the Revolution
When the guillotine was king=

it didn't matter to the mother
she was not appeased
and the dreadful weather it continued 
with no abbatement
they should of left it but they didn't being human as they are
but it didn't change the nature of the crisis-

The silent witness, unafraid, standing on the corner in the Rain
 finally had a reason to recite the dictum of the ages-
burning pages after pages
as she read them in a rage---

State of confusion  lyrics

I went to a doctor because i hear things  that aren’t there
My mind wanders mentally
I hope you take this seriously

Perception deceiving
Perception  Not believing

I’m hearing voices
That no one else hears
The sound ’s so frightening me
Because   i know they aren’t real

Perception deceiving
Perception  Not believing

So doctor you must help me
To chase this voices and visions away

Tell me this hallucinations are only  temporarally

I  feel things moving under my skin
Imagine the state wher” I’m in
State of confusion, depression hallucination
confusion, depression hallucination

(In layers: lyrics all together)
