It's an emergency
It's time to follow through
This fateful spell
This hateful shell
This view
If only you'd permit yourself
To see the vision before your eyes
The intervening years
The fading cheers
The garden full of wine

Scarf tied to hide the face
Lurking in the shadows
Entertained by every chase
Covertly underexposed
Tag it
And admire it
Then on to the next wall
Fluorescent basement sign
Hiding in the rat run
Phosphorescent alibi
Stylistic but overdone…

Woke up late again today
Just in time to catch the matinee
Filling up on TV
Another coffee
And a smoke
Back to sleep until midday
Ignore the morning cabaret
Never met the postman
Bills delivered
But never read

Stuck in…

Drowning in a sea of pills
Testing their performance
Keep from slipping off downhill
Accept this circumstance
Jump right back in to the fray
Expect reaction no delay

Balance, it’s the new mantra
Balance, the new prayer

Looking back, travelled so far
A green outline all that's left
Floating off, no more sunset
All the memories seem bereft
Moving faster, increasing speed
Boosters dropped long ago
A silhouette against the starlight
Much more time, now…

Twisting and flapping
Never making sense
At the end of the argument
Offered no defence
Stacking the odds
Before the debts accrue
A sign of the times
A case of déjà vu

Tongue, bite your tongue
Tongue
Declaring the winner…

If you get rid of me
The tower will fall down
Can’t wait to see the back of me
Not hard to push around
That's what you wanted all along
But your prediction’s very wrong

Taking flight the raven turns and then escapes

See that post? They see it too
Tracking down your latest move
Right or wrong, they don't care
Intercepting as you share
And I bet you feel secure at home
Check the blinds you’re not alone

Ever get that subtle feeling

Standing on a tightrope
Stranded in midair
Struggling to balance
Mortality aware
Scared of looking downwards
As the drop below is much too far
The pole is getting heavy
Sliding through the hands
Braced against the headwind

Executed entirely upon the Roland JX-3P if I recall correctly. The title refers to the three interwoven harmonic lines.

Lyrics:
Be quiet or be taken away
It's a desperate game we unwittingly play
Desire is a favorite way
To be placed in restraint of invisible chains

LYRICS:
What am I but dust to dust
The same is true for all of us
I'm not upset I will return to dust in the end
I am not about to bet my soul won't live again
You had your chance to join the highest law
You were an angel, but you gave…

Another track. The lyrics are more generally about the "sunk cost fallacy" that I see all around me at the moment, not only in the context of war. Musically it's probably a bit boring.

And another track; the lyrics are a bit whiney but I sort of decided to just lean into it again.

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…

This track started sounding very rural so I added some acoustic slide-guitar that turned out quite nice, with lyrics about being in the area I grew up in again.

Channeling my inner Rod Temperton I came up with a track and then thought it might be a good idea to try out some headvoice singing, then I came up with a Michael Jackson-inspired lyric about the dangers of trying to become something you're not…

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…

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…
