This song is a haunting exploration of the darker aspects of human nature, delving into the destructive power of unchecked desire, greed, and fear. Through intense and ominous lyrics, the song navigates the blurred lines between good and evil, manipulation and control, and the eternal struggle between light and darkness. The result is a thought-provoking and unsettling listen that invites you to confront the shadows within.


LYRICS: 

[Verse 1]
They bite the fingers you feed
Let them bite down; there's something you need
Let them consume you
We have the power we need to catalyze the consumption of greed 

[Verse 2]
Death needs not cometh from here
It's for a living
No one is forgiven all these years later
Catalyzing the consumption of fear 

[Chorus]
This is the part where you squeal
I want to hear
That you want it
You need it
This is a thrill for me
It's so easy--just feed it 

[Verse 3]
Bait her; throw it down in front of her
As you get closer
Tie her
She'll come to you like a moth to a flame
Elevate you like a liar 

[Verse 4]
This arm struggles with dark craft
Once tended carefully
(beautiful things) the bigger it grows
Forever, it lasts
While the other lay in shadow
He stands to cast 

[Bridge]
I know that we can die upon and end
But honey
We can live it down a good one
I know that we spit it when we make the entrance
But now it's time to out
It's time to end this

"Those Two" is a playful, story-driven track about a dancer and a street boy who couldn't be more different - but somehow click. She’s grace and privilege. He’s grit and rhythm. And yet... there’s something in the air when they meet.

Driven by a tight 4/4 beat at 148 bpm, the song blends catchy hooks with lyrical storytelling, capturing that fleeting spark between opposites. A dance, a date, a night to remember - or forget?

Written and performed by @Ladat, "Those Two" is a tale of contrast, chemistry, and the kind of connection that makes no sense but feels just right.

Those Two

The streets are wrapped in tinsel
the smiles all look the same
Every store's got a soundtrack
and each one's to blame
I hum a line of something real
it fades into the air
Guess no one buys a Christmas song
that tells you it's unfair

All these empty wrappers
shining on the floor
Used to hold a feeling
don't fit anymore
Tried to write you truth
but it came out wrong
Now I'm stuck in December
with another sad song

There's glitter on the guitar
and hope on credit cards
And peace on earth's postponed again
it's written in the stars
I tried a rhyme with "snowfall"
but it melted when I played
Seems love don't stand a chance
when every chord's cliche

Empty wrappers
pretty lies and bows
Cover up the quiet
no one shows
If joy's a candle
mine burned too long
Just wax on the windows
and a half-finished song

Maybe I'll hang my blues
by the chimney tonight
See if truth fits under
the tree's cold light
Maybe Santa's tired too
with nothing left to bring
Except another chorus
we forgot how to sing

Empty wrappers
rustle when I leave
Even silence
sounds like make-believe
But I'll keep on playing
low and strong
'Cause maybe next Christmas
the truth's still a song

Empty Wrappers

LET ME BE IN YOUR DREAMS

Some folks strive to be white
While others love to be black
Me, I´ll just live grey
Some folks will cry for freedom
Other folks will forge a prison
Meantime I´ll be a poet of silence

Don´t try to be God
Nobody is the bearer of truth
No wrath will impose truthfulness
Just live and let be!

Just let your light shine
And your love will burst, oh yeah
Just flow on the river of life
And the market of dreams will appear
Don´t be afraid of the light
And you´ll repel eternal darkness

Just be a memory of love
As you burndown your boundaries
And then you´ll be free
To fly away.  And there we go!

I´ll be flying to the moon
Then I´ll be sleeping on the sun
While I watch the mirror of life
I´ll try to catch your glance 
And I´ll ask you to let me into your dreams
In your dreams – in your dreams
Let me into your dreams!

LET ME IN YOUR DREAMS

This is the prelude to my album 'kids', out Jan 30

Fifth track in a suite of tracks inspired by a walk along a wooded river bank in the summer close to where I live. This track explores how the calming sound of the flowing river gives you a chance to contemplate the past. Enjoy. CD

Lyrics by David North:
Peace in my dreams
Sleep at night
Taken away my past for keeps
She went away
Nothing I say
She will never grow old
Story be told

On golden sands I walk upon
Tracks I leave behind
Reflectionsof the life we live
Never to be kind.

On golden sands I walk upon
Tracks I leave behind
The river is the life we live
Never to be kind.

The River is the Life we Live

Tracks I leave behind

A haunting journey into the shadows with "Their Dark Secret" by The Dark Messiahs.

This track is an atmospheric blend of Doom Jazz and Dark Jazz Noir, characterized by its intense mood and minimalist arrangement. Featuring sparse percussion from Sticks Thompson and resonant, brooding bass work by Wilt Flowers, the rhythm section lays a hypnotic, deep foundation.

Sonny Rhodes' melancholic piano weaves a spectral melody above the dark soundscape, occasionally punctuated by the chilling, soulful contributions of Guy Stansfield on clarinet and Blue Six on muted trumpet.

Perfect for late-night listening, film noir enthusiasts, or fans of deeply atmospheric, instrumental music that pushes genre boundaries.

That sounds like a fascinating track! A blend of doom and jazz is very unique. To create a robust, keyword-rich set for SoundCloud and help boost your traffic, I'll focus on leveraging the distinct elements of the music.

The Dark Messiahs - Their Dark Secret (Doom Jazz Noir)

This song is about walking through Christmas Eve feeling alone while the rest of the world seems wrapped in warmth and togetherness. It captures that quiet, aching moment when the lights are beautiful but they only reflect what’s missing. I’m standing in empty streets, listening to distant bells and fading sounds, trying to hold onto hope even when it feels frozen. At its core, it’s about loneliness during the holidays, but also about believing that somehow, through the cold and silence, hope can still find its way back.


LYRICS:

[Verse 1]
Streetlights buzz a lonely tune
Snow falls soft a silent moon
No one's home this Christmas Eve
Just empty streets I can't believe

[Prechorus]
World keeps spinning anyway
While I'm stuck here another day

[Chorus]
Christmas Eve lights how they gleam
Reflecting off a frozen dream
Empty streets no one in sight
Christmas Eve lights burn so bright

[Verse 2]
Jingle bells a distant sound
Lost in white no one around
Church bells chime a mournful call
Hoping someone hears them all

[Chorus]
Christmas Eve lights how they gleam
Reflecting off a frozen dream
Empty streets no one in sight
Christmas Eve lights burn so bright

[Bridge]
Maybe hope will find its way
Through the snow before the day
Breaks apart and melts the ice
And fills the world with paradise


Christmas Eve Lights

The snow is comin' down

FORGIVE AND FLY AWAY

Let´s try to forgive and forget
Just let go and we´ll have hit
Letting go leads us to higher stage
Fleeting away from chaos’s golden age

Fetch the light and fly away
Nobody knows when its time to leave

Always focus on better times
Freedom is state of mind 
Just sow seeds of innocence 
And a poem of love fills the air

Open your heart don´t hide away
Share your light and fly fly high

Sharing love spares lives
Eden´s blood is in our veins
Can´t deny our faults
That´s why we´re fallen angels
Our journey to the eternal light
Begins when we´re short on wars

Forgive and fly high
Leave behind our golden cage of time
Stop being slaves of time and space
As happiness becomes our state of mind
Happiness is a state of mind
Forgive and fly high!
Happiness is a state of mind
Forgive and fly high!
Happiness is a state of mind
Forgive and fly high!

FORGIVE AND FLY HIGH

Songwriting has been a lifelong passion for me, dating back to elementary school when I first began crafting stories, poems, and eventually lyrics. As a former drummer in various bands, I always relied on others to bring my words to life musically. However, after a long hiatus from drumming, I decided to take the leap and learn to compose music to accompany my lyrics. Through classes and dedication, I've embarked on a new journey, breathing fresh life into old lyrics and penning new ones. You'll find a mix of older and newer works here. Especially for some of the lyrics. 

Music has been a part of me for as long as I can remember. One of my earliest memories is being completely entranced by 'The Little Drummer Boy' as a very young child. There was something about the rhythm and the melody that just captivated me. I must have played it a thousand times, wearing the record out, and from that moment on, I was hooked. I knew I wanted to be a drummer and to create that magic for others. 

But I was too young then, and of course, I couldn't afford a drum set just yet. So, I turned to writing as a way to express myself. As I mentioned above, I started with stories, then poems, and eventually, lyrics. I found that writing was not only a way to tap into my creativity, but also a way to process my emotions and experiences. 

As I grew older, my love for music only deepened. I realized that music has this incredible power to transport us to different times and places, to evoke emotions and memories that we thought were long forgotten. It's a universal language that can bring people together like nothing else can. 

For me, writing lyrics is a cathartic experience. It's a way for me to tap into my emotions, to process the world around me, and to create something that I hope will resonate with others. And when I hear my words come to life in a song, it's truly magical. It's a feeling that never gets old, and it's what keeps me coming back to music time and time again. 

I love many genres of music and artists of many genres. And if you listen to some of my songs, you will find that I like to make songs of different genres as well as mix different genres into each song. One of my all-time favorite bands is Evanescence, and I have made a lot of songs where I have tried my best to emulate that sound. 

Now, I have recently started experimenting with new sounds. I never heard of glitch beats before I took music classes, and now I'm fascinated with the sound, so I have been experimenting with glitch beats recently. 

I hope you enjoy some of my songs. And thanks so much to everyone who has been listening so far. I truly appreciate it. I welcome constructive feedback to help me grow as an artist, and I appreciate your support. ❤️
