This song began as an anniversary present to my wife, Eve. I started it on the day of our 22nd anniversary and finished it by our next anniversary. 

This song, for some reason, is Eve's favourite of all of my songs.

Verse 1:
It was 22 years ago you became my wife
For 22 years our partnership has has been central to my life
Our private journeys down the road of life we've been walking side by side
Step by step into who knows what it's been a magic and a thrilling ride

Verse 2:
22 is just a number it's not even prime
But 22 years is a big part of my whole lifetime
Our love has grown deeper that I thought it could ever be
I'm not surprised but I'm astonished we reached our 22nd anniversary

Bridge:
Arbitrary numbers we use to measure our lives
Counting up then counting down until the final day arrives
22 is just a number and I think I'll let it be
At least until the number finally reaches 23

Verse 3:
Now after 22 years I want to celebrate this day with you
Let's re- read our vows and see which ones we're living up to
I tell you how deep is my love and admiration for you
You'll say as much and the magic is that I'll believe it's true

Outro
So let's raise a glass to 22
A number, just a number, but it will have to do.
Somehow it says a whole lot, about me and you
And I'll end this song with my favourite words "I love you"

"Crossing Bridges" is about that restless feeling of always being on the move, with too much happening in your mind. It’s about searching for a better path while tangled in the chaos of life, wondering what it’ll cost to find some peace. This funky groove captures the energy of that journey, driving forward with a rhythm that doesn’t quit. Let the beat guide you as you navigate your own bridges, and maybe find some answers along the way.

Crossing Bridges

"Echi dei Perduti" (Echoes of the Lost) is a haunting Italian rock ballad that weaves a mysterious tale set in the ancient city of Venice. With a classic rock style reminiscent of the 1970s, the song combines powerful guitar riffs with emotive vocals to create an atmospheric journey through time and secrets. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a lone wanderer searching for hidden truths among the decaying beauty of Venice's labyrinthine streets and crumbling walls. The song's structure, featuring verses, a repeating chorus, and a bridge, builds tension and intrigue as the story unfolds, culminating in a poignant outro that hints at resolution and the cyclical nature of history.


Nel silenzio della città, una storia si dipana
Segreti sepolti nelle rovine, una verità sottana
Attraverso la nebbia del tempo, un viandante cammina solo
Nel labirinto di Venezia, dove il passato è scolpito nel molo

Echi dei perduti, sussurri nella notte
Guidandomi nell'ombra, per trovare la luce che inghiotte
Nella città del decadimento, dove i segreti prendono vita
Cercando la verità, nelle rovine in cui mi capita

Sotto i muri sgretolati, un'eredità rimane
Archivi dei secoli, in attesa di spiegare
Decifrando gli indizi, svelando il passato
In questo viaggio senza tempo, dove il dado è tratto

Le maree della storia, scorrono nelle mie vene
Dissotterrando misteri, spezzando antiche catene
Un destino mi attende, nelle profondità sottostanti
Dove le risposte giacciono, nei bagliori morenti

Nel silenzio di Venezia, una storia giunge alla sua fine
Segreti ora svelati, la verità finalmente rivelata
La ricerca di un viandante, compiuta alla fine
Negli echi del futuro, e nei sussurri del passato

Lyrics :

(Verse 1)
I wish one day you take me to New York
Dance all night and feel the city’s roar
We’d wander the busy streets of New York
You’d make me feel like I’m a movie star

Un jour j’aimerais t’emmener à New York
Tu s’rais ma star, mon plus beau des trésors
On f’rait la fête sur les toits de New York
Que notre amour puisse briller plus encore

(Pre Chorus)
I don’t mind anyway
Anywhere I go on holiday
I don’t mind anyway
All I want is party everyday

(Verse 2)
I wish one day you take me to Bangkok
To feel the heat it’s what I’m calling for
Live one of those famous nights in Bangkok
Where all the sins are secrets to explore

Un jour j’aimerais t’emmener à Bangkok
Tu s’rais ma reine, mon idole que j’adore
J’prierai dans tous les temples de Bangkok
Que notre amour soit de plus en plus fort

(Pre Chorus)
I don’t mind anyway
Anywhere I go on holiday
I don’t mind anyway
All I want is party everyday

(Outro )
Yeah let’s go to party
Yeah let’s move our body
Yeah Let’s go to party
And we’re all having a good time

Darkness Steals The Light

9. Exodus in the Night

1. Strophe)
Zehn Enkel, drei Kinder, und niemand ist da,
ich warte vergebens, Jahr für Jahr.
Ich sehe sie nicht, kenne nicht ihr Gesicht,
für meine Enkel bin ich gestorben – sagt man mir schlicht.

Refrain:
Ich passe nicht in eure Welt,
ein Fremder, der nicht zu euch hält.
Vom anderen Stern, so nennt ihr mich,
doch mein Herz schlägt noch – hört ihr es nicht?

(2. Strophe)
Ich durfte nicht sehen, wie ihr wachsen konntet,
wie ihr eure Träume und Wege erkundet.
Doch Lügen regieren, sie trennen das Blut,
und nehmen mir alles, was mir je gut tut.

Refrain:
Ich passe nicht in eure Welt,
ein Fremder, der nicht zu euch hält.
Vom anderen Stern, so nennt ihr mich,
doch mein Herz schlägt noch – hört ihr es nicht?

(3. Strophe)
Die Mutter hat Gift in eure Seelen gegossen,
euer Vertrauen in mich zerrissen, verdrossen.
Ich flehe euch an, doch es kommt kein Laut,
nur Stille, die meine Einsamkeit baut.

Refrain:
Ich passe nicht in eure Welt,
ein Fremder, der nicht zu euch hält.
Vom anderen Stern, so nennt ihr mich,
doch mein Herz schlägt noch – hört ihr es nicht?

(Bridge)
Niemand besucht mich, ich existiere nicht,
kein Funke von Liebe, kein warmes Licht.
Bin nur ein Schatten, ein Geist in der Zeit,
von eurer Nähe für immer befreit.

(4. Strophe)
Ich habe Kinder und Enkel, doch bin ich allein,
mein Herz ist gebrochen, es wird niemals heil sein.
Bestraft und verlassen, der Schmerz bleibt besteh’n,
und ich frage mich leise: Wird ihr’s je versteh’n?

Refrain:
Ich passe nicht in eure Welt,
ein Fremder, der nicht zu euch hält.
Vom anderen Stern, so nennt ihr mich,
doch mein Herz schlägt noch – hört ihr es nicht?

(Outro)
Ein Stern, der fällt, weit von hier,
leuchtet noch kurz – doch nicht mehr bei dir.
Vielleicht, wenn ihr eines Tages schaut,
wird mein Licht noch flimmern, leise, vertraut.

Ich passe nicht in eure Welt

Here in the City by Beats Working (John Hardman)

In the vast expanse of the cosmos, Earth, a tiny blue planet on the outskirts of the Milky Way, lies silent, its cities in ruins, its people long gone. As a time traveller and musician, I am drawn to this world, to the echoes of a civilisation that reached for the stars but fell short, consumed by an ambition they could neither control nor fully understand.
Through my music, I seek to capture the essence of this lost era, particularly the turbulent times around 2070, when humanity's fate hung in the balance. Each song is a journey through time, a sonic exploration of the apocalyptic moments when everything changed, guided by the haunting melodies and atmospheric soundscapes that paint a vivid picture of a world on the brink of collapse.
As I wander through the abandoned streets and desolate landscapes, I find inspiration in the remnants of human culture - the unfinished symphonies in empty concert halls, the silence that hangs heavy in recording studios where hit songs were once crafted. The music becomes a conduit for the stories that linger in these spaces, tales of dreams pursued and hopes shattered.
In the rhythms of nature reclaiming the cities, I hear a powerful message - that all things must pass, that even the grandest of human achievements are impermanent. This truth resonates through my compositions, serving as a reminder of our own fragility and the need for humility in the face of the universe's vast mysteries.
Each track on this album is a warning, a cautionary tale wrapped in sound and emotion. They speak of the paths we may tread if we are not vigilant, the dreams that may crumble if we are not wise. Through music, I forge a connection that transcends time and space, inviting listeners to explore the echoes of a vanished world and heed the lessons hidden within.
Join me on this sonic odyssey through the remnants of Earth's final days, a journey that will leave you questioning our place in the cosmos and the legacy we leave behind. Let the music be your guide as we navigate the ruins of a civilisation that dared to dream big but ultimately succumbed to its own hubris - a fate we must strive to avoid as we venture forth into the unknown.
