Pot's - World of Folk, Ballads and Soft Indie

This is a laid back, acoustic track with harmony vocals. Beneath the quieter vibes there are some hidden edges to the lyrics which focus on maintaining your identity in the age of social media. Written for my daughters. If you are interested in licensing any lyrics, get in touch. Lyrics for this one are: 

Stop with the filtration 
Stop with the curation 
Stop all this rose tint lens
And the good time friends

Cut out the whitening 
Tone down the brightening 
Cut out the light ring
And the bling, bling, bling 

Turn off the cheap shots
Turn off the chat bots
Turn down the non-stop,
What’s hot, jack pots

Too much blah, blah, blah
So much nah, nah, nah
Bit much ooh, la, la
And the uh, uh, ah

No more buying all the glam 
I’m not falling for the same old scam
You don’t 
Make me
Who l am
Who I am
Who I am 

Enough with the click bait 
Enough of the deep fakes
Enough with the high stakes
And the toxic hate

Stop with the gaslight
Stop with the late night
Stop with this half life
All out of sight 

I see clearly through the sham 
No more falling for the same old scam
You don’t 
Make me 
Who I am
Who l am
Who I am

Start with the human touch 
Start with the positive
Starting to rise above
With the simple love

Bring up community
Bring up the listening
Bring on humility 
And some honesty 

I see clearly through the sham 
No more falling for the same old scam
You don’t 
Make me 
Who I am
Who l am
Who I am

Who I am (you don’t make me)

Celtic Dreams

“You taught me"

Used to think
that forever love
was just a fairytale
But then you came along 
Hmm
Years gone and questioning 
every step I took with you
Asking if the love itself 
was it crueler than you?

What if I never started 
believing in love
Would I still be standing
or would I fade away?
Yeah
Would I keep pretending 
or find another way
tell me babe
i’d still be there
Still there to be played wit

Hook
What if I never started 
believing in love
Would I still be there 
to be played with
You sorry that we met?
Sorry that we met 
or was it all a test?

Reminds me of
someone I used to adore
these days yeah 
I don't know ‘em anymore
What happened to the one
I used to always 
call a friend?
Now you're just a ghost
it's hard to understand
You’re like a ghost
fading away in the past
Yeah used to love you
And yeah you've left your mark
But I won't let you
Come for me
I Rose above all your deceptions
(just wait and see.x2)

We used to vibe baby
side by side
Now i see.
Not loyal, just lies
Didn’t change,
you just lost in deceit
best believe
I won't be the one 
at your feet.

Hook
What if I never started 
believing in love
Would I still be there 
to be played with
You sorry that we met
or was it all a test?

CIELO Y TIERRA SE JUNTARON HOY

Cielo y tierra se juntaron hoy, y llovió
Lo que debía llover
Cielo y tierra se apartaron hoy, y se lloró
Lo que se debía llorar
Se desgarraron las nubes y un pedazo de cielo cayó, se cayó
Se desgarraron las nubes y el cielo durmió, se durmió

Mañana tus ojos y os míos se mirarán
Nuestros labios reconocerán el amor
Mañana tus ojos y los míos se mirarán
Nuestros labios reconocerán el amor
Enloquecidos se buscarán
Con el cielo y la tierra en sus miradas
Volarán a casa
En el sol jugarán y en la luna dormirán
En el espejo de la vida se quedarán

Suave correrá la brisa
Y entrelazados miraremos
El verde de la tierra
El azul del cielo
Y nuestro amor abrigará

Cielo y tierra se juntaron hoy
Cielo y tierra se juntaron hoy
Cielo y tierra se juntaron hoy
Cielo y tierra se juntaron hoy

CIELO Y TIERRA SE JUNTARON HOY (ALFONSO LLORENTE & SYLVIA PRADILLA)

Looks over to me.
It's over. Let's face it, we're done.
No-hurdles-to overcome, 
As we shot for the sun.
Or the moon.
A premature peaking... 

look over at me.
We can't deny this is the end.
Refuse-to-bend for you. 
Just a thorn in my shoe.
A hindrance too.
A mill stone.

The soft summer breeze 
Has forsaken the trees,
The leaves are just falling on you. 
As the light and the shade, go their seperate ways.
It's over, its over, its over.

It's over for me.
The half smile which led t'ward the dance.
Another-chance to score.
Would we want anymore.
Had we known what's in store.
We head toward the door.

It's over for me.
No glance as we pass in the hall. 
Against-the-wall we fell. 
Nothing left here to sell.
Drunk too deep from the well.
Now we're done.

The soft summer winds.
Become bellowing zephyrs 
Separate one into two.
As the day and the night, part in evening's light.
It's over, its over, its over.

It's hard to beleive we could be so naive...
Or that we were both ever so young...
It's...

...over to you.
I'll leave it and see what you do.
A-pointed turn of the screw.
Schemes that used to amuse.
Come across as a ruse, 
We easily bruise.
Sending...

Over to you.
There's not a lot for us to say.
A break away. 
New days: blow the cobwebs away.
The shattered remains.
Once was Rome.

The soft summer breeze 
Has forsaken the trees,
The leaves are just falling on you. 
As the light and the shade, go their seperate ways.
It's over, its over, its over.

Over To You

A take on 50's/60's chord progression..with some stream of consciousness words.

Hello dear souls,
we created a new song " The Beauty Of Change "
For all of you from our hearts.
Haleen

Under a new sky
No more resistance
A courageous leap to go deep
Set it free

Let go of the line
It's time to unfold
Pure Love untamed
In the book of life
A fresh new page named
The beauty of change
In the book of life
A fresh new page named
The beauty of change

Know why and no shy
No need to hide
A courageous leap to go deep
Set it free

Lyrics:
I can't believe it's true,
I'm having my doubt about you,
The life that you lead ain't new,
I can't believe that's you,
You told your girlfriend what you're doing,
The rain held out and the wind stayed put,
And the hands on the clock don't move anymore,
And the picture you've drawn of the boy you adore,
But you still don't know what to do,
It's beyond my comprehension,
I can't believe it's true,
I'm having my doubt about you,
The life that you lead ain't new,
I can't believe that's you,
You told your girlfriend what you're doing,

Now you've broken a bottle,
And you swear you'll change,
Hoping she'll see the romantic side of the rage,

You scream and shout,
Rattle the cage,
Rattle the cage,
You rattle my cage,

I can't explain myself this time,
No I can't explain myself this time,

It's unbelievable,
It's unbelievable.

Unbelievable

i fall in
i fall because i'm needing
the spaces are receding
the avenues back home

i wanted
to feel that i was haunted
my patience has been taunted
by tormentors unknown

where you stood
the withering of wormwood
i'd walk away if i could
if i was not alone

i'm seeing
i see where this is leading
the passages revealing
the sun destroy the haze

time frozen
this moment has been chosen
a gradual explosion
of all i kept at bay

where you stood
the fripperies of falsehood
if i could make my thoughts good
i'd stick to what i say

muscle memory
what remains of me
instinct drives
what's inside
muscle memory

"Who you decide to be" is a reminder of a beautiful truth ... which is the power of the moment and how it is totally up to you if you continue repeating yourself or change behaviors so you can serve the light! Almost like a mantra, this track lifts you up with sweet singing melodies, leaving the listener with both an earworm and an expansion of the heart chakra ... We bless you and wishing you all a deep healing!

https://haleen1.bandcamp.com/track/who-you-decide-to-be-i-create-reality-rewind

Let the sky dance for me
I create reality
Are you ready to return to an eternity of glory and
Blessedness

You are not your mistakes
You are not your wounds
It doesn't matter who you used to be
You are not your past
You are not your mishaps
What matters is
Who you decide to be
Who you decide to be

Don't try worry
Struggle to change
You know deep inside
You will one day
Trust that feeling
Accept the moment
Transcending a natural flow

You are not your mistakes
You are not your wounds
It doesn't matter who you used to be
You are not your past
You are not your mishaps
What matters is
Who you decide to be
Who you decide to be

Who you decide

You are not your mistakes
You are not your wounds
It doesn't matter who you used to be
You are not your past
You are not your mishaps
What matters is
Who you decide to be
Who you decide to be

Who you decide to be

Who you decide to be ( I create reality - rewind )

Who you decide to be (  I create reality - rewind )

"Morpheme" by Jeremias Langsämmer is a delicate and introspective journey into the realms of lo-fi piano and harp. Drawing inspiration from the evocative simplicity of Joji and the nostalgic soundscapes of Nujabes, Langsämmer weaves together soft, minimalistic piano melodies with the ostinato of a lo-fi harp. The track captures a dreamy, meditative atmosphere, with the piano's warm, melancholic tones perfectly complementing the harp's airy resonance, creating a sound that is both soothing and deeply reflective. "Morpheme" invites listeners to slow down, breathe, and lose themselves in its tranquil, yet emotionally rich soundscape.

O. G. Reality School

First recorded in July 2023.
From the album Sponges.

It's a song about insomnia, which is apparently going to be a lifelong obsession of mine, mores the pity.

LYRICS

Zopiclone, Mirtazapine.
My waking dream, my reverie in blue.

Like a massive dose of benzadrine.
Just shaking, I can never dream with you.

After some broken sleep, I'm laid awake.
I'm choked, on thoughts of all the days that's done.

Oh, I'm ridden by the witches of the night.
And the devil on my left side.
Says the morning I can't hide.
Oh, lord, I am so tired.
No place to run.

It's the early hours I lay alone.
My empty face lit by my mobile phone.

I can not rest, can't concentrate.
The wastelands in my mind, let a weary moan.

Like a dead beat ghostman of the night.
I wander around, unfeeling and alone.

Oh, I'm haunted by the ghosts in the night.
And the angel on my right side.
Creates a moribund eventide.
Oh, lord, I am so tired.
And I'm so cold. 

These wasted hours I can only share.
With the pillow flowing with your golden hair.

These wasted nights that do not care.
My whole world's floating with you in the dark.

The drugs don't work im still awake,
Not ready for another day. I'm through.

Oh, lay me down before I shake.
A nervous twitch, a reverie of you. 

Like a boxed up jack, I must escape.
From this silence, though, I crave it just like you.

Oh, I'm ridden by the witches till the dawn.
And my soul is frayed and torn.
My eyes are red and wired.
Oh, lord, I'm just so tired,
What can I...

...Wasted words I only share, 
with the power flowing through your golden hair.

These wasted years I got nowhere.
My whole world's floating with you in the dark.

Oh, I'm ridden by the witches of the night.
And the devil of my left side.
Says the morning cannot hide.
Oh, lord, I am so tired.
No place to run.

Sitting in the clover, red rover, red rover.
The ghost of the night is asleep in the clover.

Bring me up a champion and fetch your sister over.
We can sleep here with the ghosts of the night. 
Bring me forth some water and pockets of mumbles.
We can hold court with the king of the night.

A big THANKS to the great contribution from Ian Collins: @ian-211 !!
Vocals of the other guy in the stroy, trumpets, percussion and production by Ian.
A story about an "old friend" entering the house of an "old friend" but the latter doesn't remember him at all...

LYRICS:
________________________

"Hey Marvin, Is that really you? I can't believe I really see you in person after all these years"

I happened to be just around the corner
I thought I’d just drop by
We could have a cozy cup of coffee
I haven't seen you quite a while

At first I hardly recognised you
But I guess that I look older too
Look at your house, look at your garden
You seem to have changed your point of view

And I see the pictures on your walls
Faces I don’t know but they seem to mean a lot
And I remember who you were
Frightened of the crowd, never in the spot

Then it's Marvin turn: 
"Oh no....It's that guy. Thought I'd never see him gain. What's his name?"

We don't have a thing in common
I don't remember where we met
Weren't you that guy at every party
Trying to bum a cigarette?

Telling tales and selling stories
Breaking hearts with what you say
Finding ways to make your world more complete
But hurting others onthe way

Yes I have pictures on my wall
Faces you don’t know but you don't have a role
And I remember who you were
Profit from the crowd, never had a heart

Visitor: 
I leave now but we must meet again
We got something good that needs to be maintained
Marvin:
Go now, close the door behind you
I wish you the best but I'm not your old friend...

Together:
I see the pictures on your walls / I have pictures on my wall
Faces I don’t know but they seem to mean a lot / Faces you don’t know but you don't have a role
And I remember who you were / And I remember who you were
Frightened of the crowd, never in the spot / Profit from the crowd, never had a heart

Nancy says: It’s all yours and mine, all the birds in the the sky
Nancy says: All yours and mine
Nancy says, It’s there for you and me, every leave on every tree
Nancy says: For you and me
Nany says: Don’t you understand, all that breathes goes hand in hand
Nancy says: We belong in timberland

Nancy says: Don’t you hear the call
The universe knows it all
Nancy says she feels so small
Nancy says: I love you so much
I’m losing ground, losing touch
That’s what Nancy says to me
Nancy cries: can you live with lies?
I’m amazed that I still try
Truth replaced by compromise

Why? Why?

Nancy says: This big mean world tries to beat Nancy girl
Nancy weeps she softly weeps
Nancy cries one more silver tear, she’s living in a world of fear
Nancy weeps she silently weeps

Nancy says: it’s the moon that lights my night, a little hope, a tiny light
Nancy says: so pure and bright

Then Nancy cries: See how Nancy flies, like a bird in the sky
Then Nancy says: Goodbye
Goodbye. Goodbye. Goodbye.

Die 432 Hz-Frequenz gilt als die Frequenz der Natur und Resonanz. Sie soll beruhigend auf das Nervensystem wirken und eine tiefere Verbindung zu deinem inneren Gleichgewicht ermöglichen. Ergänzt wird der Track durch gezielte Subliminals, die speziell darauf ausgerichtet sind, deine Nieren sanft zu unterstützen und eine natürliche Reinigung zu fördern.

Als Hintergrundmusik für Momente der Entspannung oder beim Einschlafen.
Bei deiner Selfcare-Routine oder wenn du deinem Körper etwas Gutes tun möchtest.
Subliminals sind:
"Meine Nieren sind stark und gesund."
(Meine Nieren regenerieren sich selbst.)

"Mein Körper reinigt und entgiftet sich mühelos."
(Toxine werden sanft aus meinem Körper ausgeschieden.)

"Ich trinke genug reines Wasser, das meinen Nieren gut tut."
(Wasser bringt Balance und Klarheit in meinen Körper.)

"Meine Nieren arbeiten harmonisch und effizient."
(Ich vertraue auf die natürliche Kraft meines Körpers.)

The Quiet Elixir (Kitka Piano 432 Hz)

Stranded in Africa 
Words and Music by Tom Harris

[Verse 1]  
 When I was  eighteen, I left Geneva behind  
 Searching for something, a  place to rewind  
Through  Spain and through Italy,  Greece and the sea 
CYPRUS to Israel, the  road carried me    

[Verse 2]
Then to Ethiopia,  the land met my soul  
 First time my father’s  arms took hold  
 A ranch once a kingdom,  now cattle and dust  
 In Addis a home, but the  road called to us  
 

[Pre-Chorus]

 Debbie beside me,  pretty and free  
 The Volkswagen rolling,  just her and me  

[Chorus]
 Stranded on the highway, no sign of the end  
The sun sinking lower, no  help, no friend  
Shadows were watching, spears in their hands  
Fate held its breath in this  foreign land  

 Stranded in Africa, the dust in the air  
The silence was heavy, like  unspoken prayer  
Hearts beat like war drums, waiting for fate  
Would they walk on, or  seal our escape?  


[Bridge]
 Then like a shadow, a  car pulled in slow  
 Araya stepped out, said,  "Someone will know" 
 A two-seater benz,  but no room for two  
 He vanished ahead, and we  prayed he’d come through  

[verse 3]
The wind carried whispers, their footsteps drew near   
Hearts beating louder, tangled with fear  
Then one reached his hand out, not a word, not a sound  
Just pointed behind us, to where help would be found  

[Pre-Chorus] 
 Debbie beside me,  pretty and free  
 The Volkswagen broken,  just her and me  

[Chorus]
Stranded on the highway no sign of the end  
The sun sinking lower, no  help, no friend  
Shadows were watching, spears in their hands  
Fate held its breath in this  foreign land  

Stranded in Africa, the dust in the air  
The silence was heavy, like  unspoken prayer  
Hearts beat like war drums, waiting for fate  
Would they walk on, or  seal our escape?  

[Outro]  
 Dust rose in the distance, a  truck rolling near  
 A moment of stillness, then  fading our fear  
 Ethiopia held me,  the road made me see  
 That adventure was  waiting for Debbie and me.
