Where Demons Fear to Tread

First song I've made in 11 months, was remixing all of my albums and re-releasing them before this.  First song where I sing baritone/low in vocal.  First song where I play drums live.  A lot of firsts. 

I KNOW YOU'RE OUT THERE
(c) JunkHeap Nov 07 2023

A song about eventually finding that love of your life.  Got to be patient.
---
Brushing my hand over aster leaves.
Goldenrod, and that pale sun tease.
Knowing I"m ok on my own.

The bluebird calls out in a city burb,
makes me think I'm much the same.
I wouldn't mind finding someone
to grow old with.

Well...
Sittin' by a fire, on a cold, cold day.
Holding hands and talking about anything.
Like they say, patience is a virtue.

Going through the everyday,
don't get me wrong, I love so much of it.
but it would be nice to find that special someone. 

I know you're out there.

I don't like the word 'alone', 
I prefer 'going solo'.
The tendrils of life,
behind the scenes, bring us together,
if you know what I mean.

When the world has so much to offer,
and we get caught up in minutia,
a simple kiss and the tenderness, 
it means everything.

Ya...

Sittin' on a misty lake, on a warm day.
Seeing that smile that says everything.
Knowing there's a deeper connection 
for both of us.

Taking on the everyday,
As the Earth, she spins away.
Just a brief time here,
lets make the most of it. 

I know you're out there.

I Know You're Out There

Walking / Open Collaboration Offer

As we enter 2024, a reminder that there is no fate. We make our path as we walk. And, if we are willing to give more than what we are required to give, we are actually in command.

*** Não Há Destino ***
Quiseste um passo, andei a milha
só para mostrar quem manda.
Quiseste o manto, dei-te a camisa,
só para mostrar quem manda.
Minha alma é livre, ninguém me obriga.
Ninguém nos leva a esperança.
Não há destino. Ao caminhar traço o meu caminho.
Quiseste a bolsa, eu dei-te a vida,
só para mostrar quem manda.
Pediste um esforço, dobrei a esquina,
só para mostrar quem manda.
Meu credo é simples: Amor é vida.
Ninguém nos leva a esperança.
Não há destino.
Ao caminhar traço o meu caminho.

*** There Is No Fate ***

You wanted a step, I walked a mile
just to show who's in command.
You wanted the cloak, I gave you the shirt,
just to show who's in command.
My soul is free, no one forces me.
No one takes away our hope.
There is no fate. As I walk, I make my path.
You wanted the purse, I gave you my life,
just to show who's in command.
You asked for an effort, I turned the corner,
just to show who's in command.
My creed is simple: Love is life.
No one takes away our hope.
There is no fate.
As I walk, I make my path.

Não Há Destino

In a Forest

A longtime musician, Rod Kinny has always had a passion for his craft. Beginning in elementary school with band and choir to playing bass in local rock bands. After graduating high school, the native Minnesotan enlisted in the US Air Force. In the mid 1980's he found himself stationed in England. When not on duty he would frequently escape base. Most often to the lure of the bright lights of London for music, art, pubs, & nightclubs. Initially hesitant of some of the British pop charts, he soon came to appreciate the music of Level 42, Peter Gabriel, The Prefab Sprout, Scritti Pollitti, and many others. After leaving the Air Force and taking up digs in Minneapolis, he began playing in bands and doing catering. With frustration mounting, playing bass in local rock bands wasn't perking his creativity. And so, he quit music...... only to be reborn as a solo artist. In early 2002 he released his lifelong dream of a solo record.  

  In early 2007 he began what was to be his first breakthrough release with Producer Joe Puerta of Ambrosia, and Bruce Hornsby & The Range. The result  was “Higher Self” released in May of 2010. “Higher Self” has sold in 12 countries and the title track went to #1 on Indie-Music.com’s Adult Contemporary chart. The musical style is reminiscent of 1970‘s American West Coast album oriented rock with current, often  inspirational themes.

Flashing forward to 2013, he began a collaboration with Producer/Engineer Brian Bart. Brian was a member of the legendary Twin Cities band Dare Force. He has worked with Jim Peterik, (Survivor) & Kelly Keagy. (Night Ranger) 2017 saw the release of “Forces of Nature” which featured the songs “Truth Vibrations”, “Feargal Sharkey”, as well as the title track.

And lastly, Rod Kinny - the Definitive Collection. A “best of” compilation featuring three new songs recorded in 2023. Rod has worked with many great musicians over the years including Michael B. Nelson, Steve Strand, Jimi Behringer, Brian Reidinger, Ken Wilson, Donnie La Marca, Matt Fink, Bill Brown, Bobby Schnitzer, John Calarco, & Keith Pulvermacher to name a few. The new album will be available in autumn 2023.
