Lyrics
Every little turn
takes you on a different road.
Every little turn 
takes you where the cowboys rode.

Every single road
leads you to a different place.
Every single road
is like an obstacle race. 

They call him the Lonestar cowboy
out in the sun and rain.
They call him the Lonestar cowboy.
It’s all, yeh its all, in his name. 

Every little turn
you can see him in the corner of your eye
Every little turn 
there’s a backdrop of a Texan sky. 

Rising with the morning sun
he brushes down the dust and grit.
He feels the sweat on his brow,
you can see he’s not counterfeit. 

They call him the Lonestar cowboy out in the sun and rain.
They call him the Lonestar cowboy. It’s all, in his name. 
They call him the Lonestar cowboy. It’s all, in his name. 
They call him the Lonestar cowboy. It’s all, yeh its all, in his name.

The legend of the Dutchman's mine

Lonestar cowboy

Ukrainian singer Ana Danch presents her author's song "Miami". This is a song about lovers who want to be happy and have a dream of traveling to Miami.

I'm sleeping and I’m seeing this dream
We fly to meet the shining sun
And in Miami, Miami, Miami, Miami, 
Just you and me, you and me

I’m seeing this amazing ocean
I’m so glad that we are here now
And on the beach, on the beach, on the beach, on the beach 
Just you and me, you and me

Look at how the planet spins around

Chorus:
Every day with you is full of love
This summer is the best for me
Every night you kiss me passionately
Only you give me this infinity

There are beautiful sand dunes
We were happy like children
And we run, and we run, and we run, and we run 
Only you and me, you and me

We dance in the deserts
To the rhythm of our hearts
There in my dreams, in my dreams, in my dreams, in my dreams
Only you and me, you and me

Look at how the planet spins around.

Embark on a cosmic journey through a post-apocalyptic landscape with "Rust and Stardust". This classic rock anthem blends introspective psychedelia with dynamic rock sounds, creating a unique post-apocalyptic love ballad. Experience a world where love shines eternal amidst decay, as cosmic metaphors and powerful guitar riffs paint a vivid picture of resilience and hope. Perfect for fans of philosophical rock and dystopian themes

Lyrics :

In a world where cities sleep, beneath blankets of decay
We found each other's footprints, in the ash of yesterday
Your voice, a beacon calling, through the fog of endless night
In this landscape of lost dreams, you became my guiding light

We're particles of stardust, wrapped in shells of rust
Clinging to each other, in a world we can't trust

We are rust and stardust, baby, relics of a time long past
But our love shines eternal, forged to make it last
In this cosmic junkyard, where old dreams come to die
We've built our own universe, just you and I

We scavenge through the remnants, of a civilization's bones
Finding beauty in the broken, making treasures out of stones
Your laugh, a sweet mutation, evolved from sorrow's seed
In this garden of destruction, you're all I'll ever need

We're echoes of the old world, whispers of what's been
But together we're a new song, waiting to begin

We are rust and stardust, baby, relics of a time long past
But our love shines eternal, forged to make it last
In this cosmic junkyard, where old dreams come to die
We've built our own universe, just you and I

And when the weight of this dead world, threatens to drag us down
We'll look up to the stars above, and shed our earthly bound
For in each other's arms we've found, a truth that can't be broken
A love that transcends time and space, more than just a token

So let the old world crumble, let the past fade away
In the alchemy of our hearts, we'll forge a brand new day
For though we're wrapped in ruin, our souls remain unbound
In this wasteland of forever, true love we have found

We are rust and stardust, baby, relics of a time long past
But our love shines eternal, forged to make it last
In this cosmic junkyard, where old dreams come to die
We've built our own universe, just you and I

As we walk through the ashes, of all that's come before
Our love lights up the darkness, opening a new door
Rust and stardust entwined, in this post-apocalyptic ballet
Dancing towards tomorrow, come what may

Love in the Wasteland

Well-it's-certainly-something

"Stay Close" is a heartfelt song that encapsulates the yearning for intimacy and connection amidst the uncertainties of life. With its tender melodies and poignant lyrics, the song serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of holding onto those we cherish, even when circumstances threaten to pull us apart. 

From the opening notes, "Stay Close" envelops listeners in a warm embrace, setting a tone of sincerity and vulnerability. "Bobby Clayton" expresses a deep desire for closeness, sharing their fears of separation and the ache of distance. The gentle instrumentation, featuring soft piano and delicate strings, complements the emotional weight of the lyrics, creating a rich auditory landscape that resonates with anyone who has ever felt the bittersweet tension of love.

 As the song progresses, the chorus emerges as a heartfelt plea, urging a loved one to remain by their side through life's trials and tribulations. The vocals soar with passion, capturing the essence of longing while simultaneously conveying a sense of hope and reassurance. It’s a reminder that even in the face of challenges, the bonds we share can provide comfort and strength.

 "Stay Close" is not just a love song; it’s an anthem for connection, celebrating the beauty of companionship and the unwavering support that comes from being together. It invites listeners to reflect on their own relationships, inspiring them to cherish the moments spent with those they hold dear. This track stands out as a tender homage to love's enduring power, making it a poignant addition to the album.

Stay Close

Another example of some good ol' family music jamming, recorded one night at our Montreal home around 2018. With uncle Moss on guitar & vocal, dad pickin' and taking the guitar solo (at about 1:18), and me on the harmonica (at about 3:10). I believe this was the first time dad had played this song, and it was both the first time I'd heard it, and the first time I'd really played harmonica in front of them (based on the reaction!). 

Listen to my uncle cleverly recover from forgetting the words at around 4:04. And that's my mom, feeling good, singing along, mixing up the chorus, chatting here & there, doing her famous whistle at the end, and making me smile every single time I hear this. 
xoxo mom   
One of my favourite nights on this planet.

A true story of not knowing which girl to go with....

Lost Loves(2)

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  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.
