The media of the world seems to be caught up with adoration of characters in some kind of existential play - but we all are, and need to be kind to each other.

Lyrics:
Truck Stop Killer

Early in the morning light
On the road, she has me back
Instant coffee and morning papers
Leader of the one-man-pack

Engine muffles, desperate cry
Memories will never die
 
Days they come and days they go
Nothing really lasts forever
Roads they come and roads they go
Nothing really lasts forever

Eternal road goes endless straight
Cutting through the dimming oaks
Every mile torfeits in distance
Every mile a memory that chokes

Off the road there is a truck stop
Evening in neon light
Off the road they find some comfort
Leave the lifeline, luck invite

Feelings come and feelings go
Nothing really lasts forever
Girls they come and girls they go
Nothing really lasts forever

Desperate souls in twilight shimmer
Ashtray, beer and stare the wall
8 – Ball table, final quarter
Runaway abandoned call

Forever, ever
Forever!
Nothing really lasts 
forever!

The Truck Stop Killer-Song

I think I just missed a turn 
I shouldn’t have made
I just paid a toll I shouldn’t have paid.
Life has dreams that never come true, 
He said, “take a chance on me, I took a chance with you.”

And I got ghosted
Yeah, I got ghosted
He turned every fear I had against me,
Now I’m standing alone in my shame
Yeah, I got ghosted.

Some carry grievances
They refuse to evaluate.
I think it’s time I say
I was one of those who wanted to retaliate!
I let you lead me astray.
I let you lead me into hate.
I guess it’s on me to accept the cause of my fate.

I got ghosted
Yeah you ghosted me
You turned every friend I had against me,
Now I’m standing alone in my shame
Yeah, I got ghosted.

I think I missed the adrenaline rush
I shouldn’t have been so inhuman
that’s the drug we all been dealt
It’s the drug that you been pushin’
My life had dreams that never came true, 
So, I took a chance, I took a chance, and I was a fool. 

And then I got ghosted. 
Yeah, you ghosted me.

You turned every friend I had against me,
Now I’m standing here in my shame
Yeah, I got ghosted.

HCR 08172025:

Trump has misunderstood the nature of power in a democracy at home, too. Rather than building domestic coalitions to support the government, he is overseeing the takeover of the government by a radical minority that seems to think the way to build power is for the government to attack its own people.

The administration’s defunding of scientific research, medical care, environmental protection, food safety and security, and emergency management all threaten Americans’ health, safety, and security. Its attacks on history and education, as well as its firing of women and racial and gender minorities, seem designed to drive wedges among Americans. Its incarceration and disappearing of undocumented migrants both creates an “other” for Trump loyalists to hate and provides a warning of what could happen to the regime’s opponents.

Now, under the guise of fighting crime, the administration has quite literally turned guns on the American people.

POMEGRANATE CEREMONY 

It's just the first moment of panic after coming to
Must be hussy's full moon 
She's an open nerve and a crazy child 
And a circus tent all at once 
Sweet chamomile she's missed you 

She's needing another pomegranate ceremony 

Could be the late nights in the dungeon breathing lithotine 
She thinks she's Sarah Vaughan or Billie
Anyone come out from anywhere now to drown out her holler 
Alleviate this squalor

She's making it another pomegranate ceremony 

Oh try to treat it with respect honey 
See how far you get 

She exerts herself to such extent that she forgets to breathe 
Her head grows red and twice its size 
Then she'll be all asleep in moonlight 
Looks like anything so tapped out can look wise 
After the pomegranate ceremony 

Lord, even Mussolini looked peaceful in his grave 

It's just a small patch of pansies we have picked for you 
Our beloved full moon 
Such kindness we project to soothe your flame 
Just pick it to the bone 
We've all already done the same 

We're done with this pomegranate ceremony

Pomegranate Ceremony

Stay Gone -  Tom Leonard

This song is about resilience and determination. It's about being broken, battered, and bruised, but refusing to let those experiences define me. I've been through the flames, but I'm still burning, still standing. The song is a declaration of strength, a refusal to be defeated or silenced. It's about rising above the pain and the noise, and finding a voice that's born from fire. I'm unbroken, I'm untamed, and I'm still standing, and that's a message I want to share with all of you.


LYRICS: 

[Verse 1]
I've been to the edge, I've been to the floor
I've been broken, but I'm walking out the door
I've been lied to, I've been cheated
But I won't let it define me, no, I won't be defeated 

[Chorus]
I'm unbroken, I'm untamed
I'm a fire that's still burning
I've been through the flames, but I'm not the same
I'm unbroken, I'm still standing, still standing 

[Verse 2]
I've been to the darkness, I've been to the night
I've been searching for a light, a beacon in the fight
I've been trying to find my way, through the noise and the pain
But I won't let it break me, no, I won't be chained 

[Chorus]
I'm unbroken, I'm untamed
I'm a fire that's still burning
I've been through the flames, but I'm not the same
I'm unbroken, I'm still standing, still standing 

[Verse 3]
I’ve been called too much, been told to hush
Felt the world try to crush me with every push
But I scream louder, I rise higher
You can't drown a voice that's born from fire 

[Bridge]
So go ahead and write me off again
Say I'm too wild, too fierce, too much to mend
But every scar is just proof I lived
And every fall gave me more to give 

[Chorus]
I'm unbroken, I'm untamed
I'm a fire that's still burning
I've been through the flames, but I'm not the same
I'm unbroken, I'm still standing, still standing 

[Outro]
Still standing, still burning
Still fierce, still learning
I’m unbroken — yeah, I’m still standing

LYRIC
We hear the guards shout
It’s 9 and lights out
The truth is so stark
Alone in the dark
No ‘nighty-nite’ here
And no ‘sleep tight, dear’
No one to console
Us on our bedroll

We serve our sentence
Despite our repentance
No one’s obliged to sympathize
Here's what life has shown me 
We get so lonely we could die

A narrow window
Is all that we know
A glimpse of the sky
A bird flying by
That must sustain us
Thought it can pain us
To know there’s so much
We’ll never touch
So we muster resistance
To look off in the distance
But sometimes our hearts ask us to try
We see an old leaf blown free
And get so lonely we could die

The world’s betrayal
You know each day’ll
Break like it’s new
Then disappoint you 
My term’s determined
Of that I’m sure, friend
And yours is as well
That much we can tell
No pleas, no whining
No silver lining
In clouds that clutter up the sky
A single ray may break through
Just long enough to make you want to cry
How bad can the unknown be?
Here
We get so lonely we could die


we get so lonely we could die

Paseando por París

Es un placer poder vivir
la sensación que da París
de infinita luz y de sensualidad.

Ves claro lo que un día fue
lo que palpita en sus cafés
en sus museos y en su gran libertad.

Estribillo

Al caer la tarde mueve brisa
que acaricia tu bella sonrisa
y que nos da un soplo de felicidad.

Vamos paseando junto al Sena
escoltados por la luna llena
y el rumor del agua nos regala paz.

-------------------------

Puedes gozar al observar
cualquier rincón de la ciudad
pues te asombrará y te atrapará.

Estribillo

Strolling through Paris

It's a pleasure to experience
the feeling that Paris gives
of infinite light and sensuality.

You see clearly what once was
what throbs in its cafes
in its museums and in its great freedom.

Chorus

As evening falls, a breeze moves
that caresses your beautiful smile
and gives us a breath of happiness.

We stroll along the Seine
escorted by the full moon
and the murmur of the water gives us peace.

-------------------------

You can enjoy observing
any corner of the city
because it will amaze you and captivate you.

GUITARRA

No sé bien cuándo fue
ni cómo ni dónde
nos vimos por primera vez
pero sí que recuerdo, 
siendo niño en el pueblo,
te miraba fijamente
y después de poseerte
mis dedos bajaban y subían
por tus cuerdas que, al tañirlas,
volaban los sonidos
que para mis oídos
eran como música celestial.

Guitarra, fuiste para mí
como un guardián que me resguardó
del miedo que me impedía dormir
en la penumbra de mi habitación.

Guitarra, fuiste para mí
como la hermana que me faltó:
tu compañía me hizo sentir
la sensación de que siempre existió.

Hoy un hombre ya soy
y nada ha cambiado
porque eres mi don y razón:
el azar quiso un día
que entraras en mi vida
para ser, hoy como ayer, mi pasión.

Guitarra, tú eres para mí
como el mejor cuerpo de mujer:
con tu presencia me haces feliz
con tus canciones me das el placer.

Guitarra, tú eres para mi
lo que de niño mi madre fue
lo que hoy en día me anima a vivir
y me prepara para mi vejez.

GUITAR

I don't know exactly when,
or how, or where
we first met,
but I do remember,
as a child in the village,
I gazed at you fixedly,
and after possessing you,
my fingers would go up and down
your strings, which, when I strummed them,
blew forth sounds
that, to my ears,
were like heavenly music.

Guitar, you were to me
like a guardian who protected me
from the fear that kept me from sleeping
in the darkness of my room.

Guitar, you were to me
like the sister I was missing:
your company made me feel
the sensation that you always existed.

Today I am a man,
and nothing has changed,
because you are my gift and reason:
chance willed one day
that you came into my life
to be, today as yesterday, my passion.

Guitar, you are to me
like the best body of a woman:
with your presence you make me happy,
with your songs you give me pleasure.

Guitar, you are to me
what my mother was as a child,
what today encourages me to live
and prepares me for my old age.

Guitarra (dedicada al maestro Jesús Flores Guitarrista)

The event is a moment of breaking away from everyday life, an opportunity for community, relieving tensions, and experiencing emotions in a group. From a psychological point of view, 'the state of the event' is a situation of heightened emotional and social activity. It is a time when a person enters a mode of fun, often allowing themselves greater spontaneity, and the boundaries of social norms are temporarily relaxed.  😉  Impreza jest momentem oderwania się od codzienności, okazją do wspólnoty, odreagowania napięć i przeżywania emocji w grupie. Z psychologicznego punktu widzenia „trwanie imprezy” to stan podwyższonej aktywności emocjonalnej i społecznej. To czas, kiedy człowiek wchodzi w tryb zabawy, często pozwala sobie na większą spontaniczność, a granice norm społecznych są chwilowo rozluźnione.  😃  La fiesta es un momento de desconexión de la cotidianidad, una oportunidad para la comunidad, para liberar tensiones y experimentar emociones en grupo. Desde el punto de vista psicológico, el "estado de fiesta" es un estado de actividad emocional y social elevada. Es un tiempo en el que la persona entra en modo de diversión, a menudo se permite una mayor espontaneidad y los límites de las normas sociales se relajan momentáneamente.

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. ❤️

BTW if you follow me, I will ALWAYS follow back. If I like your music, I will follow you, but if you don't follow me back within a week or so I will probably unfollow. The same goes for when I see someone listening to my music, I WILL follow, however, if they don't follow me back within a week or so, I'll unfollow, because I'm at my limit of follows and I want to follow back everyone who follows me. Did not know that SoundCloud limits us to following only 2000. 😢
