Alfred Hitchcock Presents is an excellent series that strongly resembles The Twilight Zone. One of my favorite episodes is titled Into Thin Air. A woman (played by Hitchcock's real daughter, Pat) and her 75-year-old mother check into a hotel in Paris, France in 1889. A short while later, her mother disappears into thin air without a trace. Any more details would prove to be a spoiler. LOL!!! 😂🤣

I rate the episode 8 of 10 stars. It's an imaginative story, and the mystery aspect is compelling.

8⭐ — An outstanding episode that I really enjoyed. Loved it! 🎉👏

Into Thin Air

https://www.mixcloud.com/ElvisNash/charms-3/

First one wore a silver cross

Said it kept the devil off my back

Kissed me slow before a show

Said, "Baby, you ain't that bad"

She'd flick that lighter in the dark

Like she could spark my fate

I swore her touch was rabbit's foot luck

Every time I hit that stage

(Lift musically)

Thought she was my lucky charm

Till luck ran dry and she did too

Verse 2

Second one had emerald eyes

Said green meant money and grace

Laid her head against my heart

Like she owned that place

Kept a horseshoe over the door

Said, "Bad winds won't blow through here"

But storms don't knock, they kick things in

Then disappear

(Lift musically)

Yeah I called her my four-leaf clover

She folded when the cards turned cold

Verse 3

Third one laughed at superstition

Said fate's just whiskey talk

Burned sage in my old kitchen

Barefoot on the porch at dark

She said, "You don't need no talisman

You just need someone who'll stay"

But staying's harder than believing

In magic anyway

(Bigger lift)

I thought she might be different

But even good ones walk away

Bridge (strip it down)

Turns out luck ain't love at all

It's just hope dressed up in perfume

Final Verse (Play this like a CHORUS musically — biggest lift)

Then you showed up quiet

No silver, no smoke, no signs

No emerald promises

No lucky-number lines

You didn't hang above the doorway

Didn't dangle from a chain

You just stood there when the thunder came

And didn't change

(Hit this hard)

You ain't a charm I carry

You're the one who stayed

Yeah all that superstition faded

When you didn't walk away

Tag — repeat for hook feel:

You're the only lucky charm

That ever stayed

My very talented friend on SoundCloud and YouTube, Donna Dior, released a fantastic new track that she composed and performed, titled In Three Seconds. It's outstanding! Give it a listen!

@Mora Amaro La Loba

Thanks Mora, appreciated.

The very talented vocalist Alyona Yarushina performed a cool cover of this Belinda Carlisle hit from the 80s.

Heaven Is A Place On Earth

One of your best songs!  @calafinestrat
I enjoyed it all, love chorus!! and good lyrics.

Mora

I'm enjoying another slow, somber track from the very talented Emma Ruth Rundle. Her lyrics are always interesting:

So loud, that the company I keep is just mine
It's the center of my troubles
And white is the color of the noise it's making
And why I drink myself to sleep

The Company

I wrote this song a while ago.  I've recently added a chorus and a couple more verses.
This is a link to it on Soundcloud: https://shorturl.at/4fwEv
I'm no good at production so its just the song itself.
These are the lyrics, hope you like it.
Verse 1
The minute you stormed out the door
I knew it was over of that I was sure
I can't say I blame you, I hurt you, I shamed you
And you couldn't take it no more

Verse 2
I've done some dumb stuff in my time
I've said crazy things when I've had too much wine
But this time I blew it, immediately knew it
I must have been out of my mind.

Chorus
Hey girl you know that I'm blue
Every night I'm just  Thinking of you
Come back and save me do you still crave me
You know I can mend all the pain hold you in my arms  again
Let's try and make it no reason to break it.

Bridge
Hey girl I stopped drinking I ain't touched a drop
You might find it hard to believe I could stop
You think I'm a lush babe a busted old flush babe
I promise you honey I'm not

Verse3
Always went under its spell
Boozing and I were a match made in hell
Cursing accusing but never amusing
No wonder you bid me farewell

Verse 4
Please let me back in your life
I know I'm not worthy to call you my wife
If you say maybe, I promise you baby
There'll be no more trouble or strife

Chorus
Hey girl you know that I'm blue
Every night I'm just thinking of you
Come back and save me, do you still crave me
You know I can mend all the pain
Hold you in my arms  again
Lets try and make it no reason to break it

There are three new films I intend to watch in the near future, including:

Midwinter Break (2026): A mystery/drama following a long-married couple who take a trip to Amsterdam. The getaway stirs buried memories and old wounds that test their relationship. This looks like something Alfred Hitchcock would write.

Obsession (2026): Planned release on May 15, 2026. The film is a horror movie that can best be described as a love story with the premise "be very careful who and what you wish for." Early reviews have been extremely strong, and the premise is that a wish is fulfilled with a terrifying cost.

Queen at Sea (2026): A dark drama starring Juliette Binoche as a daughter dealing with her mother's dementia, and a family situation that turns into a moral and legal crisis. This one also looks like something Alfred Hitchcock would write.

Life has grown so dark lately, the sky spits fire, the earth trembles, and so do we. And while all this is happening, some sow flowers and others reap them. I leave you one here, even if it's plastic, ha ha ha.


I remember that tree
where our names remain together
surrounded by other names
among arrows and  hearts

I remember your hand in mine
the two of us strolling silent
knowing that sooner or later
reality would blow so hard
that it would separate our paths

We were each other's fruit,
children unveiling dreams,
we were so many things
that it seemed that universe
was not enough to keep our kisses

you with your cracked life
and me extinguishing the flames
of the ruins in fire of mine

Today, today,

I remember your mouth,
despite the time that has passed,
love carved in wood
in a forgotten garden


Today, today
