Remember me

 

The Spirit Guide

 

(A lone voice whispers) 

I’m the low whisper

Heard so faintly

In the frequencies

In-between

I move through winds of change

In your metamorphosis

Callin’ you back from sin

If you just let me in

Singin’ love songs softly

Helpin’ hearts to mend

Guidin’ lonely lovers

Back to where they began

I’m the ocean

You can swim in

The warmth when you feel cold

Though I walk in silent spaces

I’m stronger than you know

I’m your spirit guide

Walkin’ right by your side

Through the dark and the light

I’ll be there every night

I’m your spirit guide

Though you can’t see my face

When you call out in prayer

I’ll be there

In that place

I’m the strength you carry

Like steel deep in your soul

A midnight sky that’s shining

A treasure you can hold

I’m the smile on your lips

That shiver down your spine

That gentle touch you feel

When love comes right on time

In every tear you’ve cried

There’s a blessing close behind

A voice that never sleeps

Always right on time

 

I’m your spirit guide

Walkin’ every road you take

Through your fears and your faith

Through every heart that breaks

I’m your spirit guide…

In the silence I remain

Every whisper you hear

Callin’ out your name

Ohhh

When you’re dreamin’

I’m the river flowin’ through

Plantin’ seeds

Helpin’ you become you

A purple flower growin’

In your life’s stream

Followin’ you

Through every dream

I’m your spirit guide

Through the wild and the calm

On the tides of your life

Keep on holdin’ on

I’m your spirit guide

Sent from up above

Every step that you take

You’re surrounded by love

Though you may not see me

I’m always close by

A secret friend

From up high

And someday

We will meet

‘Cause I’m your eternal…

Spirit guide

The Ghost of Love

 

(A lone voice whispers) 

I may be a memory... Of Christmases past..

Of wonderful times... That still linger...

And still last...

I may be... A beautiful lost sonnet...

Echoing in the distance...

Making a quiet noise...

Across fields..

Of forgotten golden dreams...

An extraordinary love song...

You may still hear...

Above the nightly screams...

I may be...

A low whisper...

Speaking comforting...

Illuminating truths...

Within your beloved mind...

A treasured memory...

You still revisit...

Maybe...

All the time...

I may be all these things...

And so many..

Many more...

But even though...

I'm not standing beside you...

Anymore...

Just remember...

It's you...

Only you...

I'll always adore...

All my treasured memories...

May feel painful...

As they come rushing through...

Those familiar doors...

Yet when the tears arrive...

And old shadows gather..

Know that I am near...

Waiting beside the unopened rooms...

Your heart still fears to enter...

A light beyond the doorway...

A hand within the darkness...

A gentle voice...

Among the silence...

And when forgotten emotions...

Rise from the depths...

Like waves upon a moonlit shore...

I shall walk beside you...

Through every hidden corridor...

Every trembling memory...

Every sacred wound...

For I am not truly gone...

I have simply learned...

How to watch over you...

From here...

And whenever you remember me...

Look beyond your sorrow...

And listen...

For my love still lingers...

In the quiet spaces between worlds...

The Blue Apocalypse

A whisper from a soul trapped in a cold, lonely purgatory.

Conjured from someone burning with fire in the falling rain and snow. 

Someone trapped between pain and numbness, fighting a blue apocalypse while an empty void tells them not to feel.

(A lone voice whispers) 

Sometimes…

These ripples…

Of purgatory fire…

Still burning…

After I died…

Sometimes blowing out

These ripples of purgatory fire

That burn deep inside

Like a raging inferno

Before I died

The suffering…

Of standing here alone

In this ever-falling

Soul-purging rain

Compelled to think

By forces unknown

I remember…

A long-forgotten name

Echo waves from yesterday

Wrapped in pleasure, wrapped in pain

Still I’m forced…

To remain…

Burning in the rain

Fire in my veins

Heaven feels so far away

Still I rise through the pain

I’m burning in the falling rain and snow

Trying to heal what I don’t know

This blue apocalypse feels so real

But the void keeps telling me… don’t feel

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?

The White Light

 

The White Light (feat. John Duffy) is a spiritual and atmospheric musical composition centered on themes of renewal, purification, and divine connection.

Key themes and progression:

Invocation and Renewal:

 The song begins with an invocation of light and strength in the name of the Almighty, transitioning into imagery of being "reborn" through sacrifice and sacred power.

Spiritual Cleansing:

The lyrics call upon Archangel Michael to use his flame to bathe the listener in "pure white light," breaking invisible chains and clearing the path for freedom.

Removal of Negativity:

 A significant portion is dedicated to removing dark energies and unseen forces, returning them to the "ether".

Divine Guidance: 

The song invokes Archangel Gabriel to bring the "violet flame" and absolution, fostering healing and a renewed future.

Final Affirmation: 

The piece concludes with a message of rising again and personal expression, ending with the solemn declaration "Amen".

Heavens Great Gate

 

Heavens Great Gate (feat. Clinton R. Johnson & Darren Curtis) is a reflective piece on life, legacy, and the importance of living authentically. 

The song encourages listeners to consider the impact of their choices before their time comes to an end.

Key themes include:

Reflection and Achievement: 

The lyrics urge listeners to look back on their lives and ask if they found peace, spread kindness, and shared their "divine light" with others.

Urgency of the Present:

 It emphasises that it is not too late to make positive changes, build friendships, and enjoy life while still "within life's great gate".

Authenticity: 

The song speaks to the importance of moving past fear and social masks to express one's true self, encouraging the listener to stop living in the mundane and instead "step into the light" to be free.

Throughout the video, the message remains consistent: 

Life is a "transitory thing," and it is essential to pursue one's dreams and act with love and purpose before the "great bell" chimes. 

Desire

 

"Desire. From St Petersburg with Love" by JD featuring Valerie Warntz from St Petersburg is an atmospheric musical piece. 

The song explores themes of intimacy, connection, and patience within a relationship.

Key themes and lyrics include:

Relationship dynamics:

 The lyrics focus on the duality of being "a friend" and "a lover".

Patience: 

The artist emphasises that there is "no need to rush" and encourages the listener to "take a rest" and "take your time".

Emotional depth: 

The song touches on deeper, more melancholic sentiments regarding love and loss

Intimacy: 

The song concludes with a focus on shared moments, repeating imagery of being "under covers" together. 

Written and produced by John Duffy and Valerie Warntz. 

Hopefully she's safe, somewhere in St Petersburg.
