Are you still here?

 

You never will ever know me. 

For I'm beyond anything you've ever felt or seen. 

Just writing strange stories from the Great In-Between. 

Does this resonate? 

The words just flowed for you to absorb. 

Maybe I am writing about you as I feel you. 

(A lone voice whispers) 

Mmm… yeah…

Blessed be. 

Velumbound

Oh…

You are my book of revelations

Every page, a divine creation

My alpha… my omega

My rebirth through every weather

You’re the rhythm in my heartbeat

Soft and sacred when you hold me

Life and death inside your eyes

Heaven wrapped in your sighs

And if you walk away from me…

Oh, what would I be?

If your faith in me is gone…

Tell me how do I go on?

 

You’re my hoooope… and my jooooy

My night… and my daaaay

Don’t you ever drift away

You’re my liiight… when I’m loooost

The only truth I can’t deny

You’re my reason why

Oh stay… stay… don’t fade away

You’re the song my soul can’t destroy

My hope… my joy… 

If you leave, I’d be in shadows

Dancing with my broken echoes

Every prayer would sound your name

Every tear would fall the same

You’re the fire in my silence

Calm within my storm of violence

Only you have ever known

The child inside I’ve never shown

So if in me you don’t believe…

That’s all I’d ever need

To fall apart, to lose my way…

Don’t let love just fade to grey…

You’re my hoooope… and my jooooy

My night… and my daaaay

Don’t you ever drift away

 You’re my liiight… when I’m loooost

The only truth I can’t deny

You’re my reason why

Oh stay… stay… don’t fade away

You’re the song my soul can’t destroy

My hope… my joy…

(Oh baby…)

You’re the one…

Playing chords straight through my heart…

(Yeah…)

You loved the soul inside of me…

Set that little soul free…

Don’t you know… don’t you know…

You’re everything…

You’re my hoooope… and my jooooy

My night… my day…

Don’t you ever walk away

You’re my liiight… when I’m loooost

My truth… my flame…

Calling out your name…

Stay… stay… right here with me

You’re the only love I can’t destroy

My hope… my joy… 

(My hope… my joy…)

Don’t leave me…

(You’re my night… my day…)

Stay… yeah…

(I bet you couldn't stop reading. You do know I... Well, I'll leave it there.)

The Shadow Queen

 

(A lone voice whispers) 

Have you felt the cold fingertips of grief press softly around your throat? 

As love drowned in its black moat. 

Ten esperanza.

Volverás a levantarte.

Have hope. 

You will rise again

Are you Sleepless in Paradise?

(A lone voice whispers) 

Did you once know Love and stayed briefly, within its shadowy Red Keep? 

Sated beyond belief but now separated and unmated.

Can you no longer enter.

For you no longer sleep?

Is this Bob Dylan's story?

 

"The Guitar Man" (feat. Steve Altham) is a song that explores themes of a musician's life, fame, and storytelling through travel and performance. 

And a deal he made with the chief commander. 

It's based on Bob Dylan's famous YouTube interview where he discusses a deal he made. 

With someone who controls this world and the next. 

Alluding to a supernatural pact. 

Is that why he has to stay on tour? 

Could the day he stops singing be his last? 

Watch the interview on YouTube, then listen to the lyrics. 

Just google.. Bob Dylan. Chief Commander. 

Written and produced by John Duffy and Steve Altham. 

Glorious Love

 Originally, the lyrics were pitched to Guy Chambers, who created Angels for Robbie Williams. 

A backing singer for Robbie Williams' tracks created by Guy Chambers, replied. 

Guy's on tour with Robbie Williams. I love the lyrics. 

Why don't you produce it? 

Well, here it is. 

Do you believe in angels?
