Remember the cul-de-sac nights
cold beer, a cigarette to share
the creak of our old porch swing
smoke curled like chinese dragons in the air
Chorus
The porch light flickers,
But it’s not lit for me anymore.
I know there’s nothing waiting…

Here is my try at a good old fashioned protest song. I tried to imagine I was writing in the sixties, and CSNY, Buffalo Springfield and Creedence were everywhere on the radio. I used a website called Audimee to generate the call and response…

Snowflakes falling, soft as candlelight
Silver tinsel sparkles every memory tonight
There’s a record on the player, fire crackling warm and low
And I’m back to when I held you, underneath the mistletoe
City streets are shining, silver…

The Light Still Holds 12-13-25 (c) Nick Torres
This year was hard, I won't lie
Lost some things I can't get back
But the fire's burning bright
in this room where we all gather
Snow coming down outside
but we're all warm tonight…

From 2012 made of sounds found all around. Industrial fan, dumpster closing, door closing, car gas tank closing, a speak and spell, a water drop. All of these were tweaked in Acid Pro I think to make this ambient, film noir, horror movie piece.

Hope the sound is okay ( I know, I suck at that part). Not much into Christmas for various reasons but tried to be at least a little positive and present this to those that might like to hear it. Have a great holiday and share if you'd like.

I’m a Conqueror
Verse 1:
Well, hello there, life—guess who’s back again;
I told you long ago I would return.
You said that I was weak, but I found my strength
In the mighty arms of the Lord.
You see, I didn’t come back on my own this…

I wrote this when the cliche's were still new and dirt was rocks. Keith Richards was still pretty old though.

Play it loud where you can dance!
Boom Boom Girl (c) Nick Torres 9/25/25
She struts in with a kick
A snap
A spin
Eyes like fire
You know she always wins
Boom-boom girl
Got the whole world spinnin'
She’s got that boom-boom

Only In My Dreams (DRAFT) - (C) Nick Torres 9-15-25
Only in my dreams
You’re calling out my name
Running in the moonlight
Hear your laughter in the rain
Only in my dreams
I hold you in my arms
Our hearts beat like lover’s drums…

Stitches –© Nick Torres 8-19-2025
I closed the door softly, unlike the others before
I loved you once, I think I loved the comfort more
No matter how you try, sometimes it never grows
I’m walking out the door
With the pieces of me you thought…

This song was a favorite of a dear friend we lost a year ago. It felt like a good song to practice the piano. This was the first try -- not that it was good, but it just kept getting worse.
The vocals sound distant because they are... the microphone…

Sometimes to clear my head I'll listen to Bob Marley's Legend album. Then I noticed that these lyrics fit with a nice reggae beat.
