"Right Now is Getting Better" - Solid upbeat rock-blues song with piano, drums, bass, and electric guitar with real life lyrics. When you hit bottom there's only one way to go!

Right Now is Getting Better:  Words and music copyright 2004 John Heartson I quit my job down in Boston, and moved back to my country home When a man I thought was my friend  wouldn't  pay back the money  I loaned and the girl I loved with all my heart,  played me for a fool God your testing my faith, it's raining hard and now my roof is leaking too. You don't have to tell me things could be worse. What I really think I need to believe; Right now is getting' better    Right now is getting' better. I look around this room, I tell you what I see. A diamond ring and a fancy suit, useless things, old memories. I bought a pickup truck and some tools, now I'm a carpenter, I earn my pay. I sold the ring,  I still cry at night sometimes, I paid his debt and he ran away. You don't have to tell me things could be worse. What I really think I need to believe, yea. Right now is getting' better.     Right now is getting' better. Let's go! Alright, It may seem like it's the darkest hour But don't give up, cause  you got the power Love is strong, and you're alright To chase away the darkness, just turn on the light Right now IS getting better We can make it better, the truth will make it better Love will make it better, Right  now is getting better We can make it so much better, Love will make it better Truth will make it better, You can make it better Make the world better, Make it so much better Love will make it better, Love will make it better

"A Message From John" - A John Lennon Trilogy from beyond.  Moved by a powerful love, a voice that sounded like John Lennon said "Go to the studio, I've got something' for you". Rich orchestral arrangements that morph into "Beatle Like" rock. Lyrics that seem to come straight from the spirit of John Lennon. "Peace is what happens when you stop listening to fear and do what love would do"

A Message From "John"   Lyrics and music Copyright 1999 & 2004  John Heartson He asked us to imagine a world without war. The former Beatle was shot and killed on a Monday night in new York city .............. and exactly 19 years later on October 9, 1999 I swear I head his voice tell me, go to the studio I've got something for you. (orchestral intro) People, Come together, right now, the world is waiting for you Good people, Get together right now, the game is over, no losers It's time to show who you are.....     I am John and I am here, when you think of me     I did not die that day, he could not kill me in that way     Life goes on it's beautiful, I love you most of all     God is here, stop playing games, hide and seek, don't run away Children, Love each other, right now, the curtain opens, no shadows Children, sweet children, Love each other right now, It's time to remember Remember who you are     I am John and I am here, when you think of me     I did not die that day, he could not kill me in that way     Life goes on it's beautiful, I love you most of all     God is here, stop playing games, hide and seek,     don't run away     I think society is run by insane people with insane objectives They've been running it on violence for 2000 years, or a million, or whatever it is. Nobody can tell me that violence is the way, after all that time there must be another way. It's just fear you know, but you're being run by people who are afraid. They run advertising campaigns for war in the name of peace, while the goal is profit and control. This, is an advertising campaign for peace.  Peace is what happens when you stop listening to fear and you do what love would do. Cause at end of your life, there's nothing that you take and when you leave, it will be too late To give the Love that you could, be giving here Don't waste another day, living life in fear (People, ooh come together, children,  ooh love each other) (Brothers, ooh  get together, Sisters get together) (Neighbors, ooh  join together,  Nations work together) (Foes, ooh  live together,  People come together)

Origin of the Song "A Message From John"

On October 9, 1999 I just happened to turn on the TV in the middle of a special about John Lennon's life. I had missed the first part of the show and tuned into the section when he had been shot.  Yoko was describing what happened about a week later. She told of how she was crying and their young son Sean, came into the room and said, “Why are you crying Mummy.”  She said, “I miss your father”. Sean Lennon said these words that I will never forget.  "Don’t cry Mummy, daddy’s with God now, he’s everywhere".

In that instant something happened to me. I was overwhelmed with feelings of love, and I swear I heard someone (with a Liverpool accent) say to me: “Go to the studio, I’ve got something for you.”   I ran to my studio and turned on the equipment.  "A Message From John" was the result. I felt like I was being guided as I played, recorded and arranged this new song that was unlike anything I had ever created before.  

Yoko .this line was meant especially for you.  “Life goes on, it’s beautiful, I love you most of all“…………

"The Sound of Angels Crying" -  A mesmerizing bass line sets the groove, liquid space sounds in the distance, while warm synths comfort and surf guitars bend and rock. Heartson's smooth voice sings truth, backed by a choir of angels in the chorus.

The Sound of Angels Crying:  Words and music copyright 2004 John Heartson As it all falls down, the house of cards,  you see them running away from the wall. Leaving you for dead, statements all in red, Its your money they love most of all. You trust the men in suits, think they're better than you?  Then you choose to give your power away.   Take a look around, see what that's done,   It's made this world we live in today. Modern day Nero, fiddle and play,  flames burn even higher. Media play my emotional strings, Fan the coals, feed the fire. Ignorance is bliss, the song of the fool. The wise man knows his own mind. The holy war is over when you no longer hate,  There's no battle to be fought outside.

As they all..........all fell down, you could hear the sound, of angels crying As they all........turned away, you could hear the sound , as the angels cried Everyone is you, you are all one,  no better or worse than the fool The one voice heard in the presence of love,  is the one without the power to wound. Stand alone in the dark, nothing will help, in this dream of being apart, The only light to shine on the path ahead, is the Love that's inside your heart Keep your eye on the small flame that burns within, Darkness will help you understand, the pain of those, that see no light, Choose again, I know you can. and I only want the power that makes me appear, as nothing in the eyes of you I only want the peace that no one can take, let the battle be fought by the fools. As they all..........all fell down, you could hear the sound, of angels crying As they all........turned away, you could hear the sound , as the angels cried

"Caught in a Dream"- A gentle ballad with a delicate mix of acoustic guitars, synthesizers, soft voices and heartfelt lyrics.

Caught In A Dream   Words and music  copyright 2000 & 2003 John Heartson In this life, sometimes I want to run away,  and hide my self from you I want to give up, they don't see me, why should I try,  Don't be afraid, just open your wings you're ready to fly I’m caught in a dream, and when I wake up, will you be there It's seems so real, at least in my dreams, I can see I'm caught in a dream, I want to love you, can you stay with me

In this world, I feel alone and want to leave,  Sometimes I’ve cried take me home How can I wait, I'm ready right now, show me a sign Open your eyes, look through the clouds, the Son never died I’m caught in a dream, and when I wake up, will you be there It's seems so real, at least in my dreams I can see I'm caught in a dream, I want to love you, can you stay with me Deep inside in my heart, I know you love me,  And I am, yes I am, still with you And I hear your voice, you call out to me when I turn away I feel your love, you draw me close     when I am afraid, I’m caught in a dream, and when I wake up, will you be there? It seems to real, at least in my dreams I am free I'm caught in a dream, and I want to love you can you stay with me?

"Silicon Invasion" -  A song about domestic spying originally written, curiously enough, in 1984. Techno dance pop. Hot beats, wild bass lines, computers and robots singing along with John Heartson about the New World Order aka the Uni-Polar Order.

The Silicon Invasion Lyrics and music by John Heartson Copyright 1984 & 2004 John Heartson They've infiltrated business around the world and all the governments too It started in the 50's when they were born, out of vacuum tubes Back they were novel, hardly a threat ,how could anyone know That today they'd have power, they're everywhere, they run the whole damn show It's the silicon invasion and we think that your next (Welcome to a brand new age) IC infiltration and it's coming for you too (in the UniPolar Order) Random access memory controlling everything (They control everything) Computers taking over and there's nothing you can do (in the UniPolar Order) Pure logic, no feelings, just zeros and ones, digital technology One simple goal, control information, there's no need for privacy All of your life is now in the system, surveillance cameras everywhere that you look New video games, train future corporate soldier, they've got your children hooked It's the silicon invasion and we think that your next (Welcome to a brand new age) IC infiltration and it's coming for you too (in the UniPolar Order) Random access memory controlling everything  (They control everything) Computers taking over and there's nothing you can do (in the UniPolar Order) ATM, EFT, coming soon, cashless world economy, looks like a revelation Micro-chips, in the car, at the pumps, and every store, cell phones tracking your location Magic Lantern, FBI, keylogging, electronic spies, computers listening on the phone Orwell told the story, wake up and smell the coffee, there's no place like home, there’s no place like home It's the silicon invasion and we think that your next (Welcome to a brand new age) IC infiltration and it's coming for you too (in the UniPolar Order) Random access memory controlling everything (They control everything) Computers taking over and there's nothing you can do (in the UniPolar Order) Billions of names erased from the file, purging complete Only a few organics remain, the so called elite Illogical species, faulty programming, consume more than required Fatal exception, self destructive behavior, it’s why they expired It's the silicon invasion and we think that your next (Welcome to a brand new age) IC infiltration and it's coming for you too (in the UniPolar Order) Random access memory controlling everything (They control everything) Computers taking over and there's nothing you can do (in the UniPolar Order) Computers taking over and there's nothing you can do Computers taking over and there's nothing you can do

"Beyond the Stars" - A cosmic groove to send you soaring Beyond the Stars. Very Pink Floyd, Alan Parsons like. A solid groove, electric guitars and futuristic synth sounds.  Love the e-bow on electric guitar with spacelike reverb used on the intro and solo. "When you know who you are, you can see beyond the stars"

Beyond the Stars Words and music copyright 2003 John Heartson Where do we go from here, the clock has stopped, it's time to know How many roads did you try, there's only one, which way did you go? Is it time to move on? No matter where you go, there you are. Tell me the secret of life? Your thoughts create, you are the light When you know, who you are, you can see, beyond the stars....... To where you are, beyond the stars Show me the reason I'm here, Is there more to life, Who can I ask? Is everything as it seems, or is this a trick, perceptions mask? You say the answer's inside.  Release the past and open your mind Tell me the secret again?   Your thoughts create, you are the light. When you know who you are, you can see, so far beyond the stars, When I close my eyes, the image remains, beckoning me Yesterday is gone, if I still live there, how can I be free The only time is now, on the endless sea there is no tomorrow Ride the waves, be here now, don't close your heart and drown in sorrow When you know who you are, you can see, so far beyond the stars,

"On Earth, petroleum once turned petty thugs into world leaders"   
Quote from the movie, Star Trek, "Insurrection"

"Dark Profits" -  Have you finally noticed how BigGoil's running the world? Kick ass rock with a sacastic and humerous attititude.  Electric guitars, pumping bass and drums and rockin rhythm cello.  Including impressions of Richard (I am not a crook) Nixon,  Bill (I did not have sex with) Clinton and Donald (It's not about oil) Rumsfeld.   As Heartson belts out "if you want to know the truth, learn to hear the lies"   Dr. Phil said it best...GET REAL!

Dark Profits   words and music copyright 2003 John Heartson I cut the cable to the house, I was controlled by watching TV and after 3 weeks my mind cleared, I could suddenly see Doctor Phil said it best, "you either get it or you don't, get real". So open your eyes, ask why, and see the real deal Cause in that world If your feeling bad, (Just consume something, you'll feel much better) and if your feeling sad, (doctors surveyed say take a pill, you don't choose your own thoughts ) Oh what a tangled web they weave (I am not a crook, I did not have sexual relations......, It's not about oil) To hide conspiracies of greed (you know Cal, you can't hide from me) But if you want to live in peace, kill the hate, inside. If you want to know the truth, learn to hear the lies Billions of eyes, some can see and we know who you are, by your deeds Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain, watch this hand. Good vs. Evil, a noble song. Spin them a tale they'll come along But if you want to live in peace, kill the fear inside. (if you want to live in peace, kill the hatred, not the people and if we want to know the truth, learn to hear the lies (if you want to know the truth, learn to hear when they're lying to you) Billions of eyes, looking at you, There's more of us than you know, we're watching you  where ever you go and we know who you are, by what you do. (I can't hear a word you say, cause what you're doing blows me away) So if we want to live in peace, we trust the Love inside. and if we want to know the  truth, we learn to hear the lies and if we want to know the way, we just look inside.

"Calling All Hippies" - A rock protest song with metal guitar that'll melt the dead part of your brain, whirling Hammond organ that make your speakers spin off the shelf and a beat that make your feet want to march on Washinton. MEET US ON THE HILLTOP AND STOP THIS MACHINE!

Calling All Hippies   Words and Music Copyright 2004 John Heartson     As I lay on the grass one September, I looked up, something strange caught my eye Like a sheet so black, it covered the earth,  the stars, just holes, in a tarpaper sky I saw the kings of the world, making plans in the dark, so certain, that no one could see Then like thunder it came, a voice so clear, I heard it calling out to me, it said Calling all hippies, and lovers to the scene, Meet us on the hilltop, and stop this machine Calling all children, send the angels back to earth, shine your light right now, for all that your worth     I saw the sun rise up, and the sky fall down, and then the truth was revealed The men that kill for power and gold, their fates were sealed They tried to hide from the light, and spread lots of lies, but the truth was so clear All the people shouting out, they spread the word, if you listen you can hear Calling all hippies, and lovers to the scene, Meet us on the hilltop, and stop this machine Calling all children, send the angels back to earth, shine your light right now, for all that your worth No one can kill, the spirit of life, in the man that's free and no one can hide the truth from all, even a blind man can see the game's the same, don't your know, to keep the power, they'll sell their souls the son will rise and shine today, the reign of love is here to stay Calling all hippies, and lovers to the scene, Meet us on the hilltop, and stop this machine Calling all children, send the angels back to earth, shine your light right now, for all that your worth.

"Where Are You" - Smooth light rock with piano, quiet acoustic guitar and interesting effects set the mood for this heartfelt song of longing.   What's that rhythmic beeping in the chorus? It's a coded message with the answer to the question we all ask

Where are You Words and Music Copyright 1980 & 2004, John Heartson Why must I spend my life alone, How come I cry when I go home, No one will ever know who I am, They say I should stay and act like a man Tell me where are you,  How can I find you I want to know you, Where are you People may come and people may go It just doesn't matter what  you know Some of them think that I don't care, You know that's not true  it just isn't fair Where are you, How can I see you, I really want to know you, Where are you? There were those nights when I searched for you, You didn't know what I tried to do, It's the wrong way to make you see If I lose you there's no hope for me Where are you, How can I touch you I really really want to find you.  Where are you? Why did  I spend my life alone, How come I died on my way home Now you'll  never know  I loved you, It's  now for real  I've really lost you Where were you, Why didn't I see you I wanted to know you, Where are you?

Secret Track

What's that hopeful newscaster from a probable future saying in the background ?

Good morning this is Jim Roz with I.N.P news,  it's 7 O'clock
Here are the top stories:

CEO's and executives of multinational corporations have just been convicted of conspiracy
Thousand of documents prove that the organizers and financiers of the terrorist attacks against the US were also the backers of major energy projects in the middle east and central Asia.  The politicians and executives will be serving life sentences They will be considered for parole in 25 years if they agree to volunteer for habitat for humanity.

Now that cold fusion is out of the closet, the worlds energy problems are solved.

In a huge ceremony on capital hill the patriot act was torched. Congressmen and senators created a massive bonfire and burned the patriot act along with thousands of other unconstitutional laws that were created during the dark ages of the 20th century.

This is I.N.P News, your Independent Non-Profit News network keeping a watchful eye on our peaceful world.

I'm Jim Roz have a great day.
