Beautifully produced and incredibly poignant, Vicky..

great production quality,Vicky..Song reminds me of my own failed career as  a pro bassguitarist who was not tight enough for studiorecording and got kicked out of the band..!

1:05 - VickStiX - That is a very powerful movement when the vocals and chorus kick in.  Great lyrics.

This song, “They All Knew (Trump & Epstein Blues),” is my protest anthem about power, privilege, and silence. I wrote it to expose the web of complicity between Donald Trump, Jeffrey Epstein, and those who enabled their crimes. It’s not just about two men—it’s about the institutions that looked away while young girls were hurt and justice was traded for influence.

I wanted the verses to feel like reading a declassified file—cold facts dripping with truth—while the choruses rise like a collective cry from the survivors. Every “They all knew” is both accusation and lament, a reminder that silence protects the guilty. This one’s for every voice that was ignored, and for the courage it takes to keep telling the truth.


LYRICS:

[Intro]
Melania knows.
Acosta knows.
The victims know.
Palm Beach Police know.
The FBI knows.
They all know.

[Verse 1 – The Introduction]
’99 at the Knicks game lights,
Donald and Melania, date-night smiles so bright.
Epstein in the crowd, Zampolli pulls the strings,
Models, moguls, dirty kings.
“Terrific guy,” Trump laughed on cue,
They drank champagne while the cameras flew.
But behind that flash, the whispers grew,
And the girls who cried — yeah, they knew too.

[Pre-Chorus]
Palm Beach nights, the mansion walls,
Where secrets echo down the halls.
History’s watching, the world in pause,
And justice trembles at the cause.

[Chorus]
They all knew, they all knew,
Trump and Epstein, the chosen few.
Money hides but truth breaks through,
And the lies all fall in view.
They all knew, yeah, they all knew—
Acosta signed, the pain renewed.
They all knew… they all knew.

[Verse 2 – The Deals and Denials]
Maison de l’Amitié, bought in gold,
While Trump’s casino empire sold.
Epstein lost, the friendship broke,
Two devils choking on their smoke.
Acosta’s pen made the nightmare real,
A secret pact, a sweetheart deal.
The girls were silenced, justice too,
And still they smiled for photo shoots.

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Power talks in whispers low,
While victims beg for truth to show.
History’s bleeding through the cracks,
And Epstein laughs—no turning back.

[Chorus 2]
They all knew, they all knew,
Trump and Epstein, the chosen few.
Mar-a-Lago to Fifth Avenue,
They shared a sin the world once knew.
They all knew, yeah, they all knew,
Acosta signed, the pain renewed.
They all knew… they all knew.

[Verse 3 – The Fall]
Stormy storms and Access lies,
“Grab her by the—” on replay twice.
Melania’s gone, that “cooling off” smile,
She knows the secrets stretch for miles.
Then Epstein’s gone, cameras die,
A noose appears beneath the sky.
Maxwell caught, Virginia speaks,
And Trump denies for endless weeks.

[Bridge – The Reckoning]
She warned, “I’m not suicidal,” clear,
Her voice still ringing in our ears.
The pastor falls, the files still sealed,
The cycle spins, the wounds unhealed.
But truth’s a blade—it cuts through spin,
And even kings can’t cage their sins.

[Chorus – Extended Anthem]
They all knew, they all knew,
Trump and Epstein, the chosen few.
Money hides but truth breaks through,
And ghosts still walk Mar-a-Lago’s view.
They all knew, yeah, they all knew,
Melania, Acosta too—
From Palm Beach halls to D.C.’s pews,
They all knew… they all knew.

[Verse 4 – 2025 and Beyond]
Giuffre’s gone, the headlines fade,
The House calls out, subpoenas laid.
Gloria walks, the victims stand,
Demanding truth across the land.
And Trump just laughs, “Old history,”
While bodies fall like prophecy.
But every lie will meet its due,
When justice finds the chosen few.

[Final Chorus]
They all knew, they all knew,
Trump and Epstein, the chosen few.
The girls were children, now they’re gone,
But truth still sings their battle song.
They all knew, yeah, they all knew,
No more secrets left for you—
We won’t forget, we won’t undo,
’Cause we all know…
And now we see it too.

[Outro]
Melania knows.
Acosta knows.
The victims know.
Palm Beach Police know.
The FBI knows.
Trump knew.
Epstein...
They all knew.

They All Knew (Trump & Epstein Blues)

“Thriving Without Me” starts at the lowest moment of my life — a night I wasn’t sure I’d survive — and ends with something I never thought I’d be able to say again: "still alive"

The song is about the people I once made music with… the friends who told me my writing wasn’t good enough, the ones who drifted away, and the ones who went on to make it big while I was still trying to put myself back together.

It’s a song about betrayal, loss, resilience, and the slow climb back to finding my voice after everyone else had already moved on.

If you’ve ever felt left behind — or like you had to rebuild your entire life from the ground up — this one’s for you.


LYRICS:

[Verse 1]
February rain, cold steel and silence
Woke up to flowers and fear in their eyes
They said they’d stay, but they faded to shadows
Left me here counting who never said goodbye

[Pre-Chorus]
I built my heart into every band
But the dream keeps slipping through my hands

[Chorus]
And I see them shining on the screen
With faces from the life that used to be
Linda, Dina, all the ones who used to dream beside me
They’re up there smiling, wild and free
While I’m just haunted by the melody
Yeah, all of them thriving without me

[Verse 2]
Linda wrote lines, said mine weren’t worth singing
I walked away before the radio played
Less than a year, and the world was listening
While I was stuck in the echo and the shade

[Pre-Chorus]
I tried again, I found new friends
But the same old story starts again

[Chorus]
And I see them shining on the screen
With faces from the life that used to be
Linda, Dina, all the ones who used to dream beside me
They’re up there smiling, wild and free
While I’m just haunted by the melody
Yeah, all of them thriving without me

[Verse 3]
Now Dina’s rich, she’s flying high in L.A.
Karen’s still strumming with my old friend
Sandy’s laughing behind the drum set
And I’m here wondering how it all could bend

[Bridge]
It’s a cruel kind of beautiful, watching them bloom
While I’m still singing to an empty room
But maybe the stars still remember my sound
Maybe my story’s still turning around

[Chorus]
‘Cause I see them shining on the screen
With faces from the life that used to be
Linda, Dina, all the ones who used to dream beside me
They’re up there smiling, wild and free
While I’m still haunted by the melody
Yeah, all of them thriving without me

[Outro]
But the song’s still burning in my veins
Every scar still whispers my name
I may be lost between what was and what could have been
But I’m still here
Still writing my songs
Still me, still alive...

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.

Jump over the Moon (Written by Robin)

You better shoot the star and jump over the moon
You better shoot the star and jump over the moon
Jump, jump

I'm just crawling along
You ask me how to walk
I just learned to walk
You ask me how to run
I'm just running along
You ask me how to jump
I just learned to jump
Should I jump over the moon

Everyone's going home
I want to stay a bit long
Everyone's being good
I just want to be my own
Everything you tell me
I know I don't follow
Every time I follow
You want me to say I know

You better shoot the star and jump over the moon
I'm going on my own way

I'm just not ready yet
I'm just not ready yet
I'm going on my own way
I'm just not ready yet
I'm just not ready yet
I'm going on my own way

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. ❤️
