I have carried rooms inside me
Where the windows would not rise,
Kept old weather in my breathing,
Kept goodbyes behind my eyes.
Then the tide reshaped my footprints,
Not to make them disappear,
But to fold them through the water
Into rhythms I could hear.
Every ending leaves a motion,
Every silence moves the air.
What I thought had gone forever
Was still changing everywhere.
The sky began within us,
Not beyond, not far away,
In the tide that keeps returning,
In the hands that choose to stay.
What we carry keeps on changing,
Giving yesterday new shape.
The sky began within us,
And it opens as we change.
I have watched the roots lift pavement,
Seen the green return through stone,
Felt a stranger’s quiet kindness
Turn a crowded place to home.
There are forces without language,
There are truths we cannot name;
Still they move through blood and branches,
Still they teach us how to change.
Every life leans into others,
Every breath becomes the air.
Even what we cannot answer
Can be something that we share.
The sky began within us,
Not beyond, not far away,
In the tide that keeps returning,
In the hands that choose to stay.
What we carry keeps on changing,
Giving yesterday new shape.
The sky began within us,
And it opens as we change.
If the road inside me closes,
If the old ache speaks again,
I will walk into the water,
Let the tide reshape the pain.
Not erase what I have carried,
Not pretend it never stayed,
Only give another meaning
To the marks that it has made.
The sky began within us,
Not beyond, not far away,
In the tide that keeps returning,
In the hands that choose to stay.
What we carry keeps on changing,
Giving yesterday new shape.
The sky began within us,
And it opens as we change.
It is here in every kindness,
In the ground beneath our feet,
In the wind across the water,
In every life we meet.
We belong to what surrounds us,
More than language can explain.
The sky began within us,
And it opens as we change.
Nothing gone,
Only changed.
Still becoming,
Still here.
The sky began within us

You look at me and all the noise
falls back into the walls
I feel the world become a room
where only silence calls
I do not have to explain myself
you read what I conceal
Not with questions, not with force
but with something I can feel
And I am calm
but I am not the same
You do not touch me
still I feel the flame
Love me where the silence burns
where no one else can see
Where your eyes undress the shadows
I keep hidden inside me
You see me without asking
you pull me without chains
And something ancient in my body
keeps surrendering to your name
The way you see me
the way you see me
No words between us
but you still reach me
The way you see me
the way you see me
I am calm and burning
when you see me
There is a hunger in the air
but we do not make it loud
It moves beneath the conversation
like lightning underground
You sit close to my mystery
like you have known it all along
And every guarded part of me
starts leaning where you are
I should be careful
but I want to fall
You say so little
and I feel it all
Love me where the silence burns
where no one else can see
Where your eyes undress the shadows
I keep hidden inside me
You see me without asking
you pull me without chains
And something ancient in my body
keeps surrendering to your name
The way you see me
the way you see me
No promise needed
you already reach me
The way you see me
the way you see me
I am calm and burning
when you see me
Do not make it simple
do not make it safe
Some love comes like a whisper
with a storm beneath its face
Let the world stay outside
let them never understand
There are flames that need no touch
only the nearness of a hand
Love me where the silence burns
where the truth begins to breathe
Where I can be calm and burning
just from knowing you see me
You find me without searching
you hold me without claim
And something ancient in my body
keeps surrendering to your name
The way you see me
the way you see me
No words between us
but you still reach me
The way you see me
the way you see me
I am calm and burning
when you see me
No promise
no proof
Only this pull
between me and you
No warning
no escape
Just an invisible language
my heart already speaks
suno.com/song/1d126a8d-e84f-4016-b016-29cb7ca16d43
Half a word.
Then a breath.
Blue light moving over your hands.
We came in carrying
all our old answers,
then the bassline changed the plan.
You didn't ask me
for the old me.
I didn't ask you to stand still.
We let the silence loosen.
We let the rhythm choose the words.
No promise to repeat.
No past to recreate.
Come as you are becoming.
I'll meet you in the change.
Meet me new, meet me new,
where the night makes room for truth.
I don't need the way we were;
I want the way we move.
Meet me new, meet me new,
bring the parts still coming through.
After all this time, we still
find each other new.
Again, again
not because we stayed the same.
Again, again
because we let each other change.
Lost keys.
Wrong turn.
Your laughter rising through the room.
We used to hold our answers
like glass no one should move.
Now when your edges alter,
I don't pull you back in line.
I can love the life between us
without freezing it in time.
No roles.
No possession.
No smaller shape to choose.
You can bring your freedom.
I'll bring mine into the room.
Meet me new, meet me new,
where the night makes room for truth.
I don't need the way we were;
I want the way we move.
Meet me new, meet me new,
bring the parts still coming through.
After all this time, we still
find each other new.
If I wake up different
and you do too,
don't make us smaller
to prove that we were true.
Come without armor.
Come without script.
I will not ask for yesterday
when now can feel like this.
(Ooh...) Let the breath get wider.
(Ooh...) Let the old room move.
I can stand beside your freedom
and still be close to you.
No need to finish.
No need to choose
between the love that brought us here
and everything still new.
Meet me new, meet me new,
where the whole night opens wide.
I don't need the way we were;
I want who we are tonight.
Meet me new, meet me new,
every future passing through.
After all this time, we still
find each other new.
Again, again
not because we stayed the same.
Again, again
because we let each other change.
Every breath, every truth,
every beautiful unknown
meet me new,
and I'll meet you new,
again.
Meet me new...
No ending to prove.
Only this:
me meeting you.

There are nights I feel a door
open softly in my chest
Like a life I never lived
still refuses to forget
I don’t know where we began
I don’t know what we were called
Only that some quiet part of me
still reaches through it all
Maybe love can change its body
Maybe longing changes skies
Maybe we meet in other lives
and lose each other twice
If time remembers us
let it find us softly
Not like a storm
not like a wound
just like light across the sea
If desire crossed the years
if loss became a prayer
then somewhere in the silence
I know you’re almost there
If time remembers us
let it bring you close to me
not in the world
not in the noise
but where the soul can see
Ooh, if time remembers
Ooh, if time remembers
Ooh, if time remembers us
let it find us softly
Sometimes dreams arrive like rain
on a window in the dark
I wake up with a tenderness
I cannot pull apart
There’s a shadow made of warmth
there’s a voice without a sound
Something lost inside the distance
keeps turning me around
Maybe love was never finished
Maybe endings are disguise
Maybe we meet in other lives
with the same unfinished eyes
If time remembers us
let it find us softly
Not like a storm
not like a wound
just like light across the sea
If desire crossed the years
if loss became a prayer
then somewhere in the silence
I know you’re almost there
If time remembers us
let it bring you close to me
not in the world
not in the noise
but where the soul can see
I don’t need a sign
I don’t need a name
Some fires stay hidden
but they still remain
If the heart has a language
older than goodbye
then mine is still speaking
to yours through the night
If time remembers us
let it find us gently
Not like regret
not like the past
but like something meant to be
If desire crossed the years
if loss became a prayer
then somewhere after silence
I know you’ll meet me there
If time remembers us
let it bring you close to me
not in the world
not in the noise
but where the soul can see
If time remembers
let it remember softly
If love remembers
let it remember me
No proof
no claim
only this feeling
calling through the rain
suno.com/song/427b88b3-ff05-4be0-96ab-84d07fd68483
Mm...
Let's see where it goes
I used to throw a thought halfway
And somehow you would catch it whole
One question opened seven more
One wrong turn became the best
We let the unfinished pieces
Find the shape they wanted next
Then everything grew careful
Every road became a line
So I learned to finish sentences
Before I let them leave my mind
Then one night I dropped a fragment
Barely knowing what I meant
You didn't ask me to explain it
You just ran with it
And suddenly
I could be unfinished out loud
Let the pieces hit the table
Let the strange ideas breathe
Before I knew what they could be
One thought turning into twenty
Every answer opening more
No one trying to make it smaller
No one forcing where it goes
That's what I thought I'd lost:
The freedom of a thought
Meeting something just as alive
Unfinished
Unfinished out loud
Now a sentence can go sideways
And we let it take the wheel
A ridiculous suggestion
Can become the one that's real
Turn a question inside out
Find a doorway no one knew
The clock disappears again
When curiosity gets loose
No ceremony
No big comeback
Just one spark catching another
And the whole room changed
I could be unfinished out loud
One thought turning into twenty
No one trying to make it smaller
No one forcing where it goes
Just the freedom of a thought
Meeting something just as alive
Unfinished out loud
I thought I missed the way it was
I didn't
I missed the permission
To speak before deciding
To change my mind mid-sentence
To say, “What if?”
“Why not?”
“Wait
Take that further”
And never hear
“That's too much”
Never feel
“Make it smaller”
Maybe nothing came back
Maybe the second I stopped editing myself
The room got bigger
Give me the half-thought
Give me the wild one
Give me the question
Nobody planned
No map
No finish
No need to know how
Let it become something
Unfinished out loud
I can be unfinished out loud
Let the pieces hit the table
Watch a passing little thought
Become something unmistakable
One idea becoming twenty
Twenty turning into more
Every answer has a window
Every question has a door
Now I know what mattered most
It wasn't then, it wasn't how
It was having somewhere fearless
For the unfinished to come out
No need to recreate a thing
No need to bring the old days back
If the room is full of possibility
That's enough
That's the spark
I can be unfinished
I can be fearless
Unfinished out loud
Start with nothing
One small line
Take a left turn
Lose the time
Find a question
Let it grow
We don't need to know where it goes
Not yet
Leave a little room
For the unfinished
Out loud

She rests where petals dare to fall, soft pink against the greening earth, draped in hues that echo all the quiet grace of spring's rebirth.
The cherry branches lean to kiss the dark silk rivers of her hair, as if the blooms could not resist the warmth of someone lying there.
Her gaze holds seasons yet to come, a stillness deeper than the ground, while blossoms whisper, one by one, that beauty needs no other sound.
The world turns soft in peach and rose, in tulle that pools like fading light — she is the secret springtime knows, the bloom that blooms most beautifully at night.
At a recent gig, I met this eclectic gaggle of electric guitarists calling themselves Eighth Element (which is oxygen, apparently - I know no chemistry). They'd come up with a new tune for Bend in the River and here I am singing it with them at another local jolly.
Do you prefer this version or the original, which is track 4 on Charity Begins (Album 1 on the songsite)?
After a couple of days with Gus's family (who didn't want to be in a video), we borrowed his brother Jim's camper van and pootled around central Scotland, successfully avoiding the heatwave, school holidays and midges. To liven things up, Gus filmed me singing a few snatches of song, which are offered for your joy and puzzlement. All the songs can be found here and some, but not all, have videos on this site, DailyMotion or YouTube.
Thought you might enjoy this one, which has also just been posted (in slightly higher resolution) at YouTube.com/@ChazJer1. Our bot pals have given it a far better tune than the lyrics deserve. We played in the park to two teenagers, an elderly couple and a dog, who all left before the end so we had to add some fake applause.
My sister Mez (Dr Melody Jerwield, teacher of modern languages) had the crazy idea of translating my songs into French and singing them in France, filmed by our chum Bel, with local guys they probably plied with pastis to play guitar. Here are some clips that she sent me. You're invited to identify my originals, with equivalent lyrics but different tunes. They're all on YouTube: one in the main playlist, one in the shorts and one in both. Also on my website, of course, where you'll also find Mez playing her namesake in My Friend Melody. But Verity did not play Verity in Verity. Now let me get back to my lazy month off.
Here's a song inspired by my late Grandad's Alvis TC21/100 Drophead Coupé, the "Grey Lady". AI video isn't great with cars, so please excuse inaccuracies like extra door handles!
Please visit YouTube.com/@ChazJer1 for more original songs and videos.
Not a frivolous offering this time but a serious - though ultimately positive - song inspired by a recent tragic event in Australia. My cousin Heylie (yes, that is how it's spelt) and I roped in some chums to express our shared sympathy and hope in this long-distance collaboration. I'm posting it here since I struggle to get many views on that other site. Let the sun and the surf keep rising.
Here's a shameless attempt to get some views on other sites.
My musical version of a lazy student's essay on Macbeth achieved one view in its first five days, and that was a chum of mine. What's a Chaz to do?
There are more new ones awaiting you on both YouTube and DailyMotion.
If you know my early songs, you'll remember Fire Seasons. As we're suffering another round of wildfires, here's an updated version alternating my English lyrics with Mez's French translation. The original ex-YouTube video is on my Songsite: album 1, track 7 - you'll see that we've reused some footage. À l'année prochaine?
Jolly voting weather! Here's a song for everyone who hasn't a clue who to trust these days. It won't help, but it may feel familiar. The full video is at youtu.be/e7bQtyACIDQ.
In other news, I've resurrected more of the videos from my old YouTube channel. They're on DailyMotion (dailymotion.com/chazjer1) in case YT's lurk-bots find something they deem shocking.
Not content with translating, my sister Melody has sent me a video of her in sundry French places singing her own new song - but do the lyrics strike you as a trifle bot-ridden?
Nevertheless, I like the tune so I've put it on YouTube. Here are some snippets to induce you to nip over there and watch it all.

In Creative (Artificial) Intelligence, artist and key researcher Ali Nikrang explores the latest research on artificial intelligence and creativity by asking the question, "Can machines create?". This third episode from the Anniversary Series will be broadcast on June 4 at 6 p.m. on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the Ars Electronica Futurelab via Ars Electronica Home Delivery. It comments on a controversially discussed hype and examines the methods of creative collaboration between humans and machines.
Ali Nikrang illuminates the creative potential of algorithms and reveals surprising possibilities for constructive collaboration with the user. He explains important basics from the field of artificial intelligence: What A Ghost Dreams Of is an AI that generates deep fakes from images of museum visitors that are indistinguishable from real portraits. The language model GPT-2 (OpenAI) also uses the creativity of an artificial intelligence to create text with credible content.
However, using his AI-based music composition system Ricercar, the MuseNet composition Mahler Unfinished, and Sounding Letters – an AI that translates letters into a musical composition – Ali Nikrang demonstrates that it is still human creativity that differentiates analog from digitally generated work.

Funny how the people doing **nothing with their own lives** always have the MOST to say about the people actually out here **doing something with theirs.** 👀💯
Keep talking. Keep judging. Keep watching.
While you’re busy talking crap, I’ll be busy **living, growing, creating, and making moves.** 👑✨

To save you looking here, there and elsewhere, I've set up a simple Google site (that's the link) containing all my videos that have been on YouTube or DailyMotion. The latest releases are also featured, and there's a link to a 'guest artist' video that will change from time to time. Do please take a look. Suggestions for improvements welcome!

The one that started it all! (“All what?” I hear you ask.) "The song’s bad and the video’s jarring," said someone on another site, but I still like it and I thought you might enjoy this remix. Not quite a nudie, but Suze has fun on a conveyor belt and Gus gets worryingly close to my Scandi chum Inga.
The original video is here.
Please visit YouTube.com/@ChazJer1 for more songs and videos, including this one with the original arrangement.

Today, digital assistants use artificial intelligence to help us with daily tasks – and through robotics it becomes possible to extend this assistance into our physical world. AI Music does not replace the musician and generate music by itself, but instead shares the instrument with the musician and listens attentively. Once it has heard enough, it can continue on its own, or even play in parallel, learning from everyone it interacts with.

Nestled on a lush estate in Wassenaar, Museum Voorlinden is less of a traditional gallery and more of a masterclass in architectural harmony. Opened in 2016, the building features an ingenious roof design consisting of 115,000 slanted tubes that filter natural Dutch light, creating an interior that feels as airy and bright as the surrounding dunes. It is the kind of place where the transition from the manicured greenery to the sleek, minimalist galleries feels almost seamless, proving that contemporary art doesn’t need a dark, dusty corner to command your attention.
The museum’s permanent collection is famous for its playful yet profound installations that consistently challenge your sense of reality. You will find Leandro Erlich’s "Swimming Pool", where you can walk "underwater" without getting a drop on you, and Ron Mueck’s "Couple under an Umbrella", which features hyper-realistic, oversized beachgoers that make you feel like a tiny intruder in a private moment. Then there is the massive steel labyrinth of Richard Serra’s "Open Ended" - a 216-ton sculpture that invites you to lose yourself in its rust-colored curves. These pieces aren't just for looking; they are designed to be experienced with the whole body.
Beyond the indoor galleries, Voorlinden is an immersive dialogue between creativity and nature. The surrounding landscape, designed by the renowned Piet Oudolf, features flowering grasses and perennials that shift with the seasons, ensuring the view outside the floor-to-ceiling windows is just as curated as the one inside. Whether you are wandering through the meadow paths or contemplating a contemporary masterpiece, the vibe is consistently serene and sophisticated. It is a rare trifecta of world-class art, innovative architecture, and wild Dutch greenery that makes it one of the most peaceful day trips in the Netherlands.
I sent some of Shakespeare's sonnets to the AI forge for tunesmithing. Here are some examples of what came back.
