Sunday evening [02/08/2026] after I got home from Church, I was on Smule just exploring different singers I follow. One in particular, Julieanne Black Reel from Ireland, released a song titled Opened Up The Sky back in 2021. She uploaded it to Smule and left it open as a duet since 2023. I came across the song that very evening and said to myself, "I wanna try it." This is my legit first time singing this song at all, Never sang this song before, ever, until said day. Let me be clear tho, this is different than singing a duet with someone on a popular radio song neither partner owns. This is her original. Related? Of course. But there's an intricacy that often gets overlooked. Although she says "Do whatever comes natural," I also acknowledge the need to be calculated because again, this IS an original of hers. In a matter of split moments, I have to decide in real time How much of my own embellishments to insert, when/where to insert them and when/where to refrain. When to bring forth my own stylistic dynamic, and when to match hers, as the goal is to sing with her, not to show off in an attempt to outshine her. This is a rare earmark of a singer's true humility nowadays in a world of competitive singing. Hope you enjoy, and of course, check out the official release when you can.

A lot of people came into my life and now a lot of people are out of my life. Everybody that adds to my life they get to stay at anybody who takes away from my life they get to go.. There they go there they go "where the fuck were you" hits HARD right now :) In the best way possible! We cannot lose if we do not quit! So don't. This song captures my Angst perfectly https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L47a_BAhp0c

This is take two of a 30 minute piano session. Hope it works! 🤞

For now, TRON: Ares. Incredible set, costumes, and music. NIN for the soundtrack 🤪 and 🪘 Ares is biblically strong like Samson .... Samson, a judge of Israel featured in Judges 13–16, was a Nazirite endowed by God with supernatural strength to fight the Philistines. Know for tearing a lion with his bare hands and slaying 1,000 men with a jawbone. Tron: Ares https://share.google/xRdiaghgeoUwqAx9z

It came to my attention today that I may be able to coast for a while and relax. Meant to be a mystery for now until I uncover more bones in the backyard ... now I really am playing with you great folk(es). @Rositsa Aleksandrova I have another Alice-inspired tune to drop on you and all good people here. The name Alice Cooper came about to make the band sound innocent and wholesome, the opposite of the band's mystery and theatrical image. Even my mom was fooled by the name until she heard the tunes. https://youtu.be/RWgTD_0jxeE?si=IC_gqqqr50SMqy-W
