“Summer of 85” tells the story of a guy who stumbles across some old photos of his old girlfriend and first true love. He begins to reminisce about their special time spent together during the summer of 85, and wishes that he could turn back time and reconnect with his first love after all these years. This song was mixed by Wayne Killus and mastered by Robyn Robbins who was founding member of Bob Seger's- The Silver Bullet Band. Stephen has been a 6x Grammy Awardee and has won over 50 Gold and Platinum records throughout his career journey that spans 5 decades now.  As of February 26, 2025, this song was No. 7 on the Euro Indie Network Music Chart list and No. 6 on The World Indie Top 100 Music Chart list.

Timeless

Summer of 85

SUMMER OF 85

Analog recorded 1995 with Multitrack Recorder
Lyrics:
This Song is made for dancing Crows
Witch turning up for crashing deep
Living proudly in their plastic house
They are even falseness when they sleep

It is the prayer through the dust
Make them hear the rainbow singer
Sometimes they gaze in their own rust
And no more they will linger

Prayer

What did you make with

Don't want to close my eyes

I thought I'd have a go at remixing this track and hearing how it would sound in instrumental form.

[Verse] He feels the world through whispers near The rustling leaves a song so clear A silent symphony guides his way The unseen sun still lights his day

[Verse 2] His fingers trace what eyes can't see A story carved in bark and tree The wind it tells of distant shores Each note a world that he explores

[Chorus] He sees the world in echoes bright A touch a sound a fleeting light The colors bloom where silence grows A vivid life the blind man knows

[Verse 3] The pavement hums beneath his feet A city's heart its steady beat Each voice a thread in woven air A tapestry beyond compare

[Bridge] Oh close your eyes and hear it too The world alive in shades of blue No need for sight to understand The beauty felt by heart and hand

[Chorus] He sees the world in echoes bright A touch a sound a fleeting light The colors bloom where silence grows A vivid life the blind man knows

The Blindman Knows

Todas as vezes que amei
Todas as cores que pintei
Todas as chances que busquei
Todas as causas que ganhei

E é só você que me importa
Nem o ar profundo me leva tão a fundo
E é só você que me importa
Sob esse sol nascem flores e amores
Um caminho

Todas as vezes que eu chorei
Todas as vezes que meus sonhos foram apenas vindos
Todas as letras que lhe dei
Todas as frases formadas, juntos

E é só você que me importa
Nem o ar profundo me leva tão a fundo
E é só você que me importa
Sob esse sol nascem flores e amores
Um caminho

Um Caminho

A intensidade que meu pensamento
Que me leva até você é tão forte
Que não te esqueço
Momentos assim tão marcantes aprimoram o que eu conheço
E desconheço

Não é que eu queira pensar
Que um dia tudo vai ser diferente
Mas é bom relembrar
Momentos que nos libertam
E nos trazem a alegria de amar

Momentos são presentes que você me traz
Momentos com você é bom relembrar

Momentos, momentos, momentos, me desconheço!

Momentos

R.I.P. Angel ✨✨✨✨✨
———

La belle est dans ses pensées
Mais le destin l’a foudroyée
Tu es partie avec ta blonde innocence 
Ange brisé à jamais, refus du silence 

Iryna, la musique dans les cieux
Raconte la beauté de tes yeux
Sweet Iryna, Forever in Heaven
Tears And blood, I say Amen

Et le vent pleure ses souvenirs
Espoirs perdus, envolé l’avenir
Et le vent crie ton doux prénom
Rêves brisés, triste à mourir

Iryna, la musique dans les cieux
Raconte la beauté de tes yeux
Sweet Iryna, Forever in Heaven
Tears And blood, I say Amen

Oh oh…

Sweet Iryna, Forever in Heaven 

Sweet Iryna, Forever in Heaven 

Sweet Iryna, Forever in Heaven

IRYNA

At evening time, a dusty covered wagon pulled by a muddy horse rumbles in to the small town. The wagon driven by an old man, his face obscured by a hood.

On the cracked and peeling sign on the side of the wagon are the words "Mirror and Hammer, Ltd. - Embarrassments, Disappointments and Regrets Smoothed".

My curiosity gets the best of me, and I ask the old man about the sign and what it means. He just says "sit with me a while, and I'll tell you, but you'll need to do the hard work and believe!". With a sly wink from under his hood, he adds, "You do have money, don't you:?"

MUSIC BIO FOR DR. WALLY J. BARTFAY
Dr. Wally Bartfay is a retired Professor and former Associate Dean (August, 2024) for the Faculty of Health Sciences at Ontario Tech University in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada.  He was also affectionately known as the “Rock N’ Prof” by his students because he often played original songs that he has written prior to the commence of lectures to create certain vibes and buzzes in his classes. His music has appeared on Euro Indie Music Chart lists top 1; World Indie Music Chart lists top 1 and 2; BWNR music list top 5, and the US Top 20 Show- Weekly Pulse of Music at No. 18. In 2024, he had 3 No. 1 Indie hits on the Euro Indie Network Music Charts and World Indie Top 100 Music Chart lists with collaborator Stephen Wrench: 1. You're My Beautiful; 2. Little Sunshine Girl and 3. Cherry Hill Gal.  Stephen has been a 6x Grammy Awardee and has won over 50 Gold and Platinum records throughout his career journey that spans 5 decades now. 
I have been invited to appear on several radio stations, music podcasts, YouTube music channels and interviews with music magazines during the past year.  Examples include B-line Entertainment; Phil Kratz Radio Show; Blackdog Indie Country Radio; James Cox Show; Empowerment Divas Network; The Anything Goes Podcast with Duzzy Clayton; Curtis Johnson Music Podcase; Kayden Gordon Show- Today’s Best Country Mix; Radio interview on the Jeff Rickett Show, Country KIX 96.5 FM; Paul Mash TV; Playin’ On Music Row with Fran, and an interview with Fanbase Music Magazine to name but a few.
Ever since Wally was a little lad, he wanted to play the electric guitar and make music that creates smiles on people’s faces. He can remember playing his imaginary electric "air guitar" in his parents’ basement to various rock and country songs for hours on end. He got his first guitar when he turned 14 after taking on various odds jobs including pumping gas on weekends and cutting lawns.  He quickly learned to play it on his very own, along with several other instruments. Wally has also done research related to the benefits of music therapy as a nonpharmacological intervention with patients with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia.  He got interested in researching the clinical benefits of music as medicine after his father was diagnosed with vascular dementia following a series of strokes that left him bed bound in a nursing home.  Ironically, this is the same nursing home that he used to put on volunteer Christmas concerts for during his youth in his community. He is passionate about song writing and his songs often reflect personal experiences and challenges that he has faced over the years. Each song contains components of his genuine lived experiences, heart, and soul as an artist.
