RENT A ROOM

I don’t want to rent a room
In this place
Encounter a neural sonic boom
Inside this space
Let’s go ride our metal horse
Get away from the city
Wander through the desert night
Beat the Vigilance Committee
They’re coming to make us
Turn ourselves off...
Now...
Well that could lead to a dance
A cyber-laser dance

Well we don’t want to feel your cold
We want a steel womb with a view
So we can catch you and your crew
With your shiny shoe and your clean shirt
Looking around through all the dirt
You check the chandelier
But I can see straight through you here
You've got a sweat on from the beer
And we can smell your fear
You're coming to make us
Turn ourselves off...
Now...
Well that could lead to a dance
A cyber-laser dance
(Maybe even a cyber-sabre dance!)

The priest and the nun
Are pouring sand into
The joints of my exoskeleton
Whilst a dog with a bone
Is running into trouble
With a clone of mine’s explosive rubber drone

I don’t want to rent a room
In this place
Encounter a neural sonic boom
Inside this space
Let’s go ride our metal horse
Get away from the city
Wander through the desert night
Beat the Vigilance Committee
They’re coming to make us
Turn ourselves off...
Now...
Well that could lead to a dance
A cyber-laser dance
A cyber-laser dance
A cyber-laser dance
Boop boop boop...

THE BOY - RIOT OF THE MIND
OUT NOW!
TAP LINK IN BIO & LISTEN!

Please follow me on Instagram and Spotify! Thank you!

This is a cheering song for punks. Everything by myself. Main genres are Punk / Pop Punk. The moods are Energetic, Upbeat. The overall vibes are inspired by The Clash. Simplicity and passionate vocal. The sounds of guitar and bass are inspired by Green Day. I love their lively music. The goal was to make music as open as theirs. In creating, anyway, I tried to make a punk song that is simple. There's nothing difficult about the guitar, bass and drums. I would be really happy if someone heard this song and decided to start a band. The chorus is very very easy to remember! I want the audience to play loud at the party.

Lyrics : 1! 2! 3! 4!

We mustn’t forget about love
I don't need fuckin' rules
I wanna be in the sunshine
I don't ever know your shine

Wooo oh oh oh oh
Wooo oh oh oh oh

There's nothing to fear, nothing to doubt
'Cause I'm in love with you
I like to be higher than the sky
We don't need to cry now

Wooo oh oh oh oh
Wooo oh oh oh oh

We need a new riot
Riot Riot of our minds
We mustn't forget about love
We don't need our fighting glove

Wooo oh oh oh oh
Wooo oh oh oh oh

RIOT OF THE MIND

Turn It Around

This music is loosely inspired by John Lurie's very engaging TV show, "Painting With John".

Lyrics: 

I'm gonna write another love song
For my mother
In an attempt to be strong
I became the perfect son.
I'm gonna write another love song,
For my mother.
For my mother.

I see you, mum.
I'll be your heart, your rock, your faith in life,
So you can grow to be someone.
I love you, mum.
I'll be your hope, your world, the one who always,
Fills you up.

But mother, mother!
The price I pay for this role-
Oh mother, mother! 
Is taking too much toll. 

Cos as I write another love song,
Even all, these years after you're gone-
As I write another love song,
All I know is how to grow,
All I know is how to grow into the perfect son.
For someone!
And now you are gone, there is no one.

Who do I turn to now?
Who do I turn to now?
Turn to now. 
Turn to now.

I called to the moon,
And she reflected the sun's light,
On my heart.
I called to the ocean,
And waves of beautiful emotion,
Float around me,
As the birds flew in the sky, mother!
I called to the mountain,
And the path that I followed led me,
To another mountain,
Just another mountain,
Always,
Another mountain.
Always another mountain.

Finally I called to my heart.
The love inside,
Was a place,
Where I could start.
I could start.

Mirror! 
I never see your face in the mirror, Mum.
I often wonder, if without you, I will ever be someone.
All I knew, crumbled and flew,
Away in the wind-
Breeze touched my skin,
And I stood,
Ever so still,
Ever so still.
And a place, inside, 
Where nobody can hide,
Where even the music is quiet,
Where even the colours are blind,
Where even the senses have no mind,
Where even a scream has no meaning,
I stood there, mother.

And in that space, my face,
It looked out towards-
Another. 

I will never know what they saw.
But I don't question that they saw me - at all. 
Mother!

I wrote another love song, for my mother.
I wrote another love song-
For my mother.
For my mother.

But also now, 
For another.
And another.
And another.
-end- 


Original Poem: 

I’m gonna write another love song
For my mother 
In an attempt to be strong, I became the perfect son.
I’m gonna write another love song 
For my mother 
For my mother

I see you mum. 
I’ll be your heart, your rock, your faith in life,
So you can grow to be someone. 
I love you mum. 
I’ll be your hope, your will, 
The one who always fills,
You up. 

But mother,
Oh mother.
The price I pay for this role.
Mother oh mother
It’s taking too much toll. 

Cos as I write another love song. 
Even all these years after you’re gone. As I write another love song, mum. 
All I know 
Is how to grow
Into the the perfect son
For someone
And you are gone
So there is no-one. 
And I am lost 
In the dark

Who do I turn to now? 

I called to the moon and she reflected the sun’s light on my heart. 
I called to the ocean! And waves of beautiful emotion flowed around me as the birds flew in the sky. 
Oh mother! 
I called to the mountain. And the path that I followed led me to another mountain. Just another mountain. Always another mountain. 

And finally I called to my heart. The love inside was a place I could start. 

I never see your face in the mirror, mum! 

I often wonder if without you I will ever be someone. 

As all I knew crumbled and flew
Away in the wind
The breeze touched my skin.
I stood ever so still
And there inside that space where nobody can hide. 
Where even the music is quiet
Where even the colours are blind
Where even the senses have no mind
Where even a scream, has no meaning. 

There I stood mother. 
And in this space,
My face. 
Looked out towards another. 

I will never know what they saw. 
But I don’t question that they saw me - at all. 

My mother. My mother. 
I wrote another love song
For my mother. 
But also now - 
for the Other.

I Wrote Another Love Song ~ For My Mother (Acoustic, 2024)

A big Thank You to https://soundcloud.com/mike-krath for providing this wonderful instrumental, mixing and mastering. I enjoyed a lot to write and sing along

One Thing

Oh, ohh
Well, well,
There are many things, that we can talk about
And there are lots of things
And there are lots of things that we don’t talk about
And there are some things
There are some things completely covered out
And there are not many things
And there are not many things that i would sing out loud
Not so many things

And when I close my eyes
It's nearly out of sight
And when I plug my ears
the words are barely to hear
And when i shut my mouth
There’ll be no coming out
Without a mouth
There’ll be no coming out,		(3)
No…

Well, there’s so many things, we can’t talk about
And there’s so many things we’ll never figure out
But there is one thing, i love to sing out loud
But there is one thing,

But there is one thing,
I’d love to sing out loud
I love to sing out loud…

Travel through the midnight hour
On our way back home

The sun and stars our guide
And a prayer in our soul

The Word in our hearts and minds
Everything left behind

We will reach our destination,
There we will find

Love is patient,
Love is kind,
He’s The Way
The Truth
And the Life

And in our trials and tribulation
We sing a song of praise

In mercy and grace, He provides
In God we Trust, He’s always by our side

Nothing here worth clinging to,
All is left behind

When we reach our destination,
There we will find

Love is patient,
Love is kind,
He’s The Way
The Truth
And the Life

And in our trials and tribulation
We sing a song of praise

In mercy and grace, He provides
In God we Trust, He’s always by our side

And as this world crumbles to dust,
Even the sun, moon, and stars,
Thy Kingdom come
Thy Kingdom come
Thy will be done

Grace. (Cosmic Keanu (Vocals
