The Unhoused Street Musician Of Budapest
Whenever I spot red-bearded Origin, the unhoused street musician of Budapest who asks for a donation, not making a protest with a grin; don't be amazed if I'm the first to drop coins in his empty cup: does anybody, not in a rush, ever stop and give him some attention? Does he ever feel humiliation? He's too young to...

Intro Clowns drive a Camaro and the World is full of clowns/ By the end of 2023, Camaro’s will run the town/ Even the clown haters wanna join the Camaro line/ Back to back to back we about to tear the circus down/ Verse One Clowns drive a Camaro, and drive them super fast/ Put the pedal to the metal, and you...

Premium Member Turn A Popstar Into A Metal Head
Intro Turn a popstar into a metal head… I’ma change the game/ Have a popstar rocking to guitars and bass… make ‘em bang/ Verse One Popstars get tired of hearing that tune/ So they turn to metal heads and now they wanna rock/ With the best, and who the best, we the best/ We the best like a D.J. Khaled track/ And I...

Premium Member The Musician
I was sitting alone and silent, while trees swayed back and forth. Without warning, untouchable, unseen, a musician began to play. The melody rose, then fell as breathy tones I heard. Soon the shriek of a crescendo shattered the midnight air. I shivered at the passion and sat in awe and wonder, listening to the song...

Premium Member Elegy for a Maestro: Rajeev Taranath
Silent strings, once vibrant song, Melodies hushed, where echoes belong. A master's touch, forever stilled, Rajeev Taranath's legacy is forever chilled. Dancing fingers, now lie at rest, Ragas unplayed, a silent test. The wisdom passed, a lineage strong, Yet music's heart now grieves the song. Traditions held, a fading light, The past is preserved, yet...

Premium Member Elvis
He set hearts on fire With gifted voice, guitar dreams, Stifled urge to breath, just breath, Exhaling the still, cool peace, More than just make believe, Not just instinct – but grief, The war between lonely and greed, Hunger for the music, the rhythm that bleeds, In turquoise wishes, quiet blessings Pouring out hope through the endless feelings, Blowing on winds, passions Stirred by the brilliance,...

Premium Member Musician Self Taught
Oliver is a one-man band. Has every instrument, Can he play them all? Yes, on clay, earth and in sand. Can he play the tuba? Maybe? Of course, I don’t really know. Does he have a following? Yes, in the valley way down below. Do the mountain folk know him? I would be surprised if they do not. Oliver is eclectic and fun. Best of all,...

The Travelling Musician
If my heart is broken in two Which one should I follow? Should I follow the one that’s wanting to stay? Or the one that wants to be free? Some wish they could have two hearts While I wish I just have a whole One that’s mended and not apart Whose beat I am able to control It gets tiring explaining why I...

Premium Member The Street Musician
The Street Musician ‘I am blind,’ says the minstrel, ‘but I can see the notes in my mind as my fingers strum and pluck the strings so as for my ears to hear them sing.’ I feel the rush as the vibrations resonate from the wooden instrument to fill the gap between me and the guitarist on the sidewalk. I feel alone in...

Lyrics from the heart Captured at the start From the first word, You do what you do And I cannot take My ears off of you An extraordinary voice My heart had no choice From the first note, You do what you do And I cannot take My ears off of you The wink of the eye The charm of the guy From the first word, You do what you...

Cigarette Smoking Musician
An old man who looked somewhat young But after he had a song sung Held tightly to his right lung And to a nearby chair clung … An Old Man who now truly looked it: Blotches on a weak skin poorly lit; He had many times dared a twitter And in his lungs they proved a hitter … Then, why wouldn’t he...
