Made a ten tracker of your recent songs not long ago - onto my iPod next to Ambrosia, Amazing Rhythm Aces, America etc. This track one of my favs of yours sooooo gooooood!

I come back often to catch back up on the Woodard magic!

Breezy, effortless, tuneful pop. Fabulous!

Awesome piano and synths...this is so unique and fun!! Fantastic guitar tones! Great tune!!

I'm reminded of Jellyfish listening to your songs, there is that same irresistible playfulness to your music!  Its a joy to listen too!!

zappa if he made a sincere 50s pop song... lol

Delicious guitar work on this impressive pop-rocker original. Instrumentation, vocals, all are wonderfully constructed and performed. Durge

Yeah I'm ready to die for it ! ( Not Anymore)

This is not a story that is so... so simple to understand
I fell in love with my best friend, and he was just that
Always willing to give me that... kind hand
We became lovers, and now, I've discovered
He's a fuckin' alcoholic
He's now in prison and, I'm so sad
Got a puppy dog to keep me company, but... it just doesn't …
-do the same thing as havin' that man in your arms... 
just tellin'- him- how much he loves you- and
I miss his touch, I miss him so much

By fear, they all told me don't go back to that man,
He'll hurt you again He could kill you my friend
Don't go back to this man
Your mad 
Heaven only says

His love's enough for me and I'm prayin' to him 

I'm in your arms 
feeling your heart beating close... so close to mine
I want you in my world, you know me
I don' give a flying fuck what - those- friends - say
You'll be mine again, I want you... all... and
in my arms, mmm...

You're my sugar high 
Hot sex 
Yeah, I'm ready to die for it

Ready to Die For

Ready To Die For It

Written by Damian Smith
Produced by Robert Ruby
Drums by Soichiro Tanabe

A high energy Americana / Rock song about being lost and the realization that, like every time before, this too shall pass and that sometimes we have to learn the same lessons over and over.

Brise Marine

Brise Marine - (J-M ANTONI / D de BOISVILLIERS)

One by One 

Words that hit like on anvils
some others as light as feathers 
those that get lost in the haze
words that take me to the moon 

i follow the moves of your mouth
your full lips , colour of plum 
i'm staring at you , i'm listening to you
i drink in  your words 
one by one 

words that we say , in front of our judges
Yes your honor 
i swear it ! 
dreamed words from a pure being
nasties ones, i really don't care

I follow the moves of your mouth 
i'm staring at you , i'm listening to you

i follow the moves of your mouth
your full lips , colour of plum 
i'm staring at you , i'm listening to you
i drink in  your words 
one by one

Une A Une (translation in description)

What absolute joy I have been able to experience in recent weeks by working together with these three eminent musicians, composers and producers.
Dan-DT, Ed Cunningham and David Dunham. It's the first time all four of us have collaborated and the result is "The Quietude".
I am very honored, and filled with joy!
So a very warm thank you gentlemen for your generosity and friendship. ;)

Since the theme of this song is the "inner stillness" we all need sometimes, there is also a video for this song on my youtube channel. Please watch it as it adds another dimension to these gentlemen's eminent musical abilities. ;)

Many thanks Dan for the very beautiful and appropriate track image you created!

We wish you all a moment of "inner stillness". ;)

The Quietude - Dan DT, Ed Cunningham, David Dunham, Seagull

When you give your self to someone, you will miss a part of you. But, at the same time, you´ll grow up together with the other person. The same thing happens when you collaborate with other artist. At the same time that something of you is lost, it is enriched in many other ways.
Sonic Kitchen has filled this piece with strength and color.

THE PART YOU MISS

Lyrics & vocal : UK Man
Music, instruments & mix : PJ Project

That Girl W/ UK Man

New song written and performed by David Cooper.

Oh I’m easy come, I’m easy go
And I want all the world to know 
That I love you
That I love you

Count me in, don’t count me out
I’m telling you there’s no doubt
That I love you
That I love you

Chorus

I would walk through fire and rain
Across the hot desert sands
Just to show you baby, that I’m your man

We’ve got time if you got the mind
And I hope, maybe you’ll find 
That I love you
That I love you

Every time I look at you 
Just give me a chance, let me show
That I love you
That I love you

Solo

Oh I’m easy come, I’m easy go
And I want all the world to know 
That I love you
That I love you

Chorus x 2

That I Love You

Finished The Night

Danced You Under The Table

Saving our money
Gonna buy us a dream
Three or four years 
Ain’t as long as it seems
It’s gonna take time
Yeah It always takes time
But time’s on our side
Yeah Time’s on our side

Two kids in the yard
Down by the lake
Beans in the garden 
And Corn on my plate
I’ll build us a fire
We’re in bed by eight
Never too late
Never too late

Dreamers are lovers
And lovers are dreams
And who are you?
If dreamers are lovers
And lovers are dreamers
Then who are you
I’m dreaming a dream

If life is a dream
I wanna sleep late
I’d rather keep dreaming
Than to be wide awake
Don’t rattle my cage
Don’t rain on my cake
Heaven can wait
Heaven can wait

Heaven Can Wait

I made my way to Chicago, felt the wind on my face.
Sometimes the noise could be quite deafening, but I couldn't bear to leave that place.

Through hail snow fire and flood.
I would be there with them.

It Was....all going down in Chicago,
there was love life and death.
I can still see them talking outside the doors, in my head taste their frosty breath.
Through hail snow fire and flood.
I would be there with them. I would be there with them. Every step of the way.
Come what may.

Once a week in Chicago, man I could even feel the cold.
Sit and watch the trains passing over the bridge,
nothings been the same since you've been gone.
Nothings been the same since you've been gone.
I haven't felt the same since you've been gone.

once a week in chicago

Baby of the 80s, teen of the 90s, obsessed with the 60s and 70s; an FM wannabe in a Youtube world. I guess I just wasn't made for these times. I like songwriting in the Gershwin, Tin Pan Alley, Lennon/McCartney tradition. I prefer records to singles. I prefer three minutes to ten.

According to my mama, I was whistling before I learned to talk. I played organ in the Memphis garage rock scene between 2000 and 2016. I've done a lot of studio work, adding keys to records by songwriters that I really admire.

I'm now focused on recording my own songs. I have a minimal home recording set up with a laptop, microphones, cheap guitars, drums, piano, and a grab bag of other toys. All my lyrics rhyme with the truth, or at least I think they do. 

Life is short and there are more good songs then there are raindrops. Which is to say: thank you very much for lending me your ears.

Rock 'n' roll is dead, long live rock 'n' roll.
