    • This was a very good interview and you are right you can not follow up on that ending.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Fia. So glad you enjoyed the interview my friend. You gotta know when to walk away. lol. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Mary. So glad you enjoyed the interview my friend. He is amazing. Appreciate you.

      Damian

    • One thing I’ve seen in PAR’s writing, he never skirts the surface. He goes all in, giving it depth & life of its own. Personally, im so glad he made the move over to the Stars. Glad you shone the light on him, my friend

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you enjoyed the interview my friend. I agree completely, but the thing I notice most, he’s consistently putting out great stuff. He’s very authentic, and a great guy. I’m glad he’s here as well. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • Let’s always be what we never thought we were… Peace, Love, & Bowie.

      • Very well said, PAR. I like your twist on Peace, Love, & Lennon. So honored to have had the privilege of interviewing you brother. Appreciate you.

    • There’s a few bullies that need put in there place. Looking at the news these days just disgust me. The sad part is we let this happen. People are selfditeuctive.

      Great ink

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Nick. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I know what you mean, it’s frustrating that people can see acts take place. But, yet somehow the bullshit propaganda spin the newscaster gives works for them, a lot of humanity has grown complacent. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • That’s the problem. You have an administration since 2016 who loves to bully & boss people around. Has no regard for people or the less fortunate. Our society sees this and the ones who embrace, will follow his guidelines. We are in some difficult times, indeed. Well said my friend.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Keith. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I agree, we’re finding out who will blindly follow, and who is capable of critical thinking. Right now evil is being exposed. Good commentary, Keith. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • We all have our opinions about the left/right paradigm.
      To be honest, they’re all evil globalists. Each one of us has ancestors we’re not proud of. It’s what *we* do in this present darkness that counts.
      Thank you for sharing this, Damian.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Alexandria. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I debated posting this one, because it’s my feelings on the subject, to me this isn’t about the left/right paradigm anymore. This is good and evil in my opinion. I agree about the globalist thing completely, once money got involved, it became a whole different beast. I agree on the ancestor point as well, it’s more about the elites. I’m talking the families in the world who never run out of money. Sorry for the tangent, your commentary just got me thinking, which is a good thing. lol. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • Thanks so much, Mary. Appreciate you.

      Damian

    • Ugh…so many thoughts. My sister said to me the other day “Words are weapons & truth is lies now.” The biggest issue I see is that those who put this regime in power actually believe the vile lies, follow the racist/sexist rhetoric. It’s utterly gutting. I worry about my daughter who has a Mexican father & though I’m 4th generation born on this soil on both sides, she could still be in danger to this hatred. Or my partner, who is a man of color. Living in a world where hatred is so empowered leaves me stressed the fuck out. There ya go, riled me up again, my friend

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. I’m not glad you connected with this write my friend. Mainly, because I never wanted to see a day where I had to write this kinda write. I can’t believe what is happening. I can’t stand that the billionaire robber barons are getting a free pass. While they make immigrants, they’re scapegoat. All people of color are in danger, I’m afraid. It won’t stop, because they are racists and sexists. It’s right out of 1939 Germany. For years I heard people boast about how that could never happen again, or in this day and age, in America. Well, here we are. Some of humanity is asleep at the wheel, unfortunately. Your sister is spot on as always. I’m sorry that you and yours have to go through this stupidity. I got riled up as well. Appreciate you.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Fia. So glad you connected with the lyrics my friend. That was a good line, I had so many though in this one. One of my all time favorites I ever penned. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • So glad to see a familiar face, loved your work on DU

    • Your a great poet/lyricist. Nice work here Damian.

    • Damian, I sense nuances of a spiritual battle. This made me think. I love this.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Alexandria. So glad you connected with the write my friend. There was in a sense, the inner conflict that goes on inside my head. The proverbial devil on one shoulder and an angel on the other. Good vs. Evil, Light vs. dark, etc. I think we all have a spiritual battle going on inside, as well as in the world. That’s just my opinion though. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Mary. So glad you connected with the write my friend. That was a belief of mine when I wrote a lot of my lyrics, I always wanted a glimmer of hope to hold on to. Appreciate you.

      Damian

    • Could see this being a kick ass song. Great ink

    • I swear, you’re able to write in a way that it’s like you’re writing my thoughts or feelings. There’s an undercurrent of spiritual searching in this that I think could be a finding of self. Which is about the deepest of spiritual journeys we can undertake. It feels brooding but with light glimmering through it. Truly gifted you are, my friend

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with these lyrics my friend. I told you, we’re kindred spirits, we think and feel very similar on a lot of issues. It was spiritual, I was always searching for my identity, I knew I didn’t know everything at that time. Mistakes would be made, but I wanted to understand why humans hurt each other, why I got bullied in school, I wanted answers. And not some flimsy excuse being substituted for truth. I always instinctively would put glimmers of light in my lyrics, because deep down I still tried to have hope. It’s really hard to do since I’m pessimistic by nature. lol. This was the one song I thought could have been a hit. I mean big hit, gives me goosebumps good. Joey G, always called this song, “The Ace Up His Sleeve” hit. If needed he’d always say. Had a little Lindsey Buckingham vibe. Personally, I’ve grown to believe over time that it was a carrot to dangle. That was deep… Thank you for such an awesome compliment. Appreciate you.

    • hello Damian good morning I could connect with your lyrics a very powerful song 💕

    • A heartfelt write! Well done, Damian!

    • Powerful work, my friend.

    • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Duende. So glad you connected with the write my friend. It was sung really heavy in that chorus, ended by a nice growl on “Door.” It was a great song in my mind, too bad I never had a copy of the recording. Appreciate you.

      Damian

    • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Mary. So glad you connected with the write my friend. You’re spot on. Appreciate you.

      Damian

    • GREAT!! Wonderfully pieced & constructed. This deserves a bookmark.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Keith. Honored to make the book my friend. This was some of my better early stuff, indeed. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • The way you wove through this, highlighting a sense of being dragged along & out of control…whether in your mind or in the world, really weighs heavily. That repetition of being locked in creates a weight that is palpable. Powerful piece, my friend

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with these lyrics my friend. It’s still one of my favorite pieces, these were lyrics I was proud of, when they got music it was a warmth I can’t explain in my heart. I still sing this forgotten song, just to remember it. The guitar riff is faint memory, there is enough there to remember how I sung it. This is a song, Joey G, would never let me have my own copy of. I’m not going there right now. lol. He pisses me off to this day on certain issues. If I had a copy, I would have shared it proudly. Instead it has a home on some old hard drive somewhere, never to be heard. Sorry, about the tangent. lol. I missed your commentary, you get me stirred up sometimes. lol. Appreciate you.

    • We’re all marching to the grave. Great piece my friend.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Keith. So glad you connected with the write my friend. We are heading that way, but this was written in the angst of my teenage world. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • The seventeen-year-old you were going through it. This is really good to be penned at 17

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Fia. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I went through it many times in this life, but the teenage angst in me always went for the jugular. lol. Well, 17 year old me smiled inside, and said thank you. He never thought he was the bees knees if you know what I mean. lol. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • Superb work. Powerful.

    • Shades of the future Damian DeadLove. 🔥

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Alexandria. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Teenage angst sometimes made up for the lack of experience I had when it came to writing back then. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • Pretty deep thought for a 17yo to be considering the inevitability of death. Seems the art of poetry & philosophy started young for you. In my experience the general emo trends of the 90’s facilitated my poetic curiosity. It’s fun to read my own teenage writes but I’ve not been brave enough to share from that far back even with editing. 😝 ha! I didn’t have your level of skill at 17, though. Kudos!

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Ruby. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I was pretty angry at the world at 17, not that my attitude has improved much since those days, as far as the world is concerned. I started at 14 or 15 yrs old. I would turn 18 a couple of months after writing this one. I started out trying to write Hair Metal lyrics, they were horrible and I would never share them with anyone. We all start somewhere, Ruby. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Mary. So glad you dig the lyrics my friend. I just realized today that I was better than I gave myself credit for, I’m my own worst critic. lol. I think all writers are that way though, we hold ourselves to our own high standards. My biggest problem was I never took time to appreciate what I was doing, that’s something maturity brings for sure. Thanks for your continued support. Appreciate you.

      Damian

    • From our first breath until the last, we’re marching to the grave. But what we do in the interim…ah, that’s where it gets interesting. I did a quick math check & it tells me that I am only 5 years older than you. I remember these feelings at that age. A friend once told me “Girl, you do morbid so well!” Even at 17 you had vision & rhythm. And the evolution was so worth the journey to who you are, my friend

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with these old lyrics my friend. No way, everybody used to say that about me as well. I was morbid or dark, because I questioned authority or why us humans do what we do. Glad to know I wasn’t alone my friend. You’re much too kind, but it’s nice to hear anyhow. lol. Appreciate you.
