Slow River (collab)

"Nuff Said" challenges our inner demons. Don't let them drag you down, cause you deserve better. Starting with a catchy riff, we bring you back to good old 2000s nu metal and spiced it up with modern elements. I wrote the instrumental and the hook, Brett Anthony did the rap part and Ampersandman contributed his guitar and bass work to raise the roof. This is to all people who deal with a tough situation and enjoy heavier tones. 
Thanks a lot for the collab!

Nadine de Macedo: composition, arrangement, synthesizer, lyrics, programming, production
Ampersandman: bass, guitars, clean vocals
Brett Anthony: lyrics, rap vocals

==== LYRICS ====

Get up, get up
I think I said enough, had enough
Half way through to you
but your head's still filling up

with the lies inside your eyes
that take me by surprise
So I keep my thoughts inside
and I try to spare your life

But I'm one step closer from it
finally being over
Vocally drained, insane
Still seeking closure

I'm a mad man, damaged plan
just can't understand
Out my cage, in a rage
confused and dazed

The hate began on a long lost road
Where is where I think I sold my soul
To the edge I place my toes
As my mind spins out control

Don't you know that it's payback
One last attack, I'm back on track
Flow through the aftermath
because nothing's coming after that

Nuff said,
time to get you out of my head
There's nothing
You can say to do or mend

I'm loving
The fact it came to this
Instead of cutting wrists
I move forward with my fists

If nothing stood in my way
I would be happy someday, yeah baby
(Nuff said, nuff said)
But to my deepest dismay
The hunter's stalking its prey, yeah baby
(Nuff said, nuff said)

Tik tock tick
the clock it won't stop
It's time to forget
the tears and blood I dropped

It came to this
in case you didn't know
I fill my mind with gasoline
and set fire to this soul

Explode out
this shell and through this hell
No doubt
this curse is one big spell
Sold out
Death is what we sell
And life can only tell
Though the silent screams we yell

I've been knocked down, stomped on
Felt like giving up
Dragged around, tossed to the ground
Not knowing to get up

Messed around and lost my crown
Tested all my luck
Lost and found, stood my ground
Fought all these things I thought were tough

Nuff said
Time to get you out of my head
There's nothing
You can say to do or mend

I'm loving
The fact it came to this
Instead of cutting wrists
I move forward with my fists

You'll notice nothing outside
When you try hurting my pride, yeah baby
(But I, I keep turning the tide)
But in my deepest inside
I feel like buried alive, yeah baby
(I got, I got nothing to)

Nuff said
Still need another fallback
To backstab
And make your head crack
No need no respect
(Leave and don't return again)

Nuff said
Don't wanna talk
You fucking bonehead,
I'm gonna make your head crack
No need to check back
Leave and don't return again

If nothing stood in my way
I would be happy someday, yeah baby
(I got, I got nothing to say)

But to my deepest dismay
The hunter's stalking its prey, yeah baby
(I got, I got nothing to say)

You'll notice nothing outside
When you try hurting my pride, yeah baby
(But I, but I keep turning the tide)

But in my deepest inside
I feel like buried alive, yeah baby
I got, I got nothing to say

Nuff Said

I was thinking maybe it's been too long since I've done a nautical themed track...

Washed Ashore

Dear friends, how about a somewhat self-deprecating song?

Recovering

I have found some ways to recover - when I’m anxious or feeling low
I send a mail to my Grandkids just to give them my love
and if it is not too late an answer comes back
and I turn around and continue my restorative sleep

Sometimes when I’m feeling low - I ask for support from my wife
it might happen in the middle of the night and she never will protest
she will just take my little hand and squeezes it so light
and I turn around and continue my restorative sleep

If I wake up in the middle of the night - with a nightmare in my poor little brain
I will pick up my mobile and listen to the songs
that all my music friends have published on the net 
and I turn around and continue my restorative sleep

Recovering

Voices

We all hear voices 
they tell us to choose!!
And we will destroy them
cause that's what we do!!

I am a cheater!! 
I am a fool!!
I am only human!!
I am like you!!

Voices

Some undressed songs off the tape machine..........cheers for having a listen


chaos on my mind, gets hard just to find the time
keep on looking, trying to find a clue
but then again, it's nothing new

hide seek night and day, you see me and look away
grey is raining, deep is blue
but then again, its nothing new

up down white or black, getting healthy heart attack
ink the skin, another bad tattoo

right wrong in or out, get ignored talked about
subscribe or follow, discard or use
but then again, its nothing new
it's nothing new

eyes see colorblind, lock the door, free the mind
paid on time, or overdue

chaos on my mind, gets hard just to find the time
keep on looking, trying to find a clue
but then again, it's nothing new
it's nothing new

It's Nothing New

All Music vocals lyrics and production done by this guy....It's a moment in time when my heart was cracked. I love this track. Been sitting on the acoustic for years...decided to give it some Razz and give it light...Enjoy...

I just don't know how to cope
Its so ridiculous how we broke
And you would hide away
With all your feelings left inside
And now you're gone away
And it was ridiculous the way you left
Not a word, not a word to say
No apologies,
You just disappeared
While i was at work
You are so cowardly
The way you hide
And you can run away
Ill be okay my dear
I don't need you
Oh Why
Couldn't you speak a word
All you had to do was tell me so
And I would know
But you are such a crazy wreck
You can't get your shit together
And it's my fault

Ridiculous

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 😊🎶❤️🎵🎼🎹

Verse 1:
Cosmic power surges through the air,
Towers whisper secrets, beyond compare.
Who wields this power, in this cosmic game,
As we dance to the rhythm of their claim?

Chorus:
Are we pawns, destined to be controlled,
Brainwashed by whispers, our minds to be sold?
A social charade, where we're led astray,
By the siren's song of the digital fray?

Verse 2:
Codependence weaves its insidious web,
As we surrender to the manufacturer's plea.
Compliance, the price we pay for connection,
A hollow substitute for genuine affection.

Chorus:
Are we mere pawns, destined to be controlled,
Brainwashed by whispers, our minds to be sold?
A social charade, where we're led astray,
By the siren's song of the digital fray?

Bridge:
The cosmic power, a double-edged sword,
Uniting us, yet tearing us apart.
In the pursuit of progress, we lose our way,
As we become slaves to the digital sway.

Verse 3:
Let us break free from this cosmic tether,
Entrance our humanity, 
Embrace our humanity, together.
Real connection, in the flesh and blood,
Not in the fluttering screens of the digital flood.

Outro:
No longer pawns, we'll rise above the fray.
To build a world with understanding...
