Travel through the midnight hour
On our way back home

The sun and stars our guide
And a prayer in our soul

The Word in our hearts and minds
Everything left behind

We will reach our destination,
There we will find

Love is patient,
Love is kind,
He’s The Way
The Truth
And the Life

And in our trials and tribulation
We sing a song of praise

In mercy and grace, He provides
In God we Trust, He’s always by our side

Nothing here worth clinging to,
All is left behind

When we reach our destination,
There we will find

Love is patient,
Love is kind,
He’s The Way
The Truth
And the Life

And in our trials and tribulation
We sing a song of praise

In mercy and grace, He provides
In God we Trust, He’s always by our side

And as this world crumbles to dust,
Even the sun, moon, and stars,
Thy Kingdom come
Thy Kingdom come
Thy will be done

Grace. (Cosmic Keanu (Vocals

Dear Reader, 

Not all songs must exist on the grid. This song has no click track and therefore, it breathes. As a result, nothing was quantized. It's real playing and real performances. I hope that you can hear it. 

Of course,  the song was multitracked (I played and sang everything, so it had to be) and since there was no grid, I had to listen and react to make it gel.  I hope you consider what I did a success. 

Thanks as always for coming back to listen to more of my music. In the past four years I have produced more than 140 original music videos and I have gained 800 subscribers. This is only the beginning. I have much more music to write, arrange and produce, and I am thankful for every listen. 

Respectfully,

Lyrics:

(Chorus)
Extra ordinary—-holler if you hear me
Cause Anything goes—-Anything goes
Ask Jane ———-first name Mary
Fact—— fiction ———or theory
Yeah——Anything goes—-Anything goes

Anything goes with the beat and the rhythm
don’t worry about the verses ——got ya ——gonna kill em
extra ordinary ——-level up when you——hear me
a new dish in the menu——
like DoorDash—- I’ll bring you
——-different flavors——-different styles——
Keep it versatile

Negative vibe——no——never
jamming to the groove——
a routine endeavor
Beatz bumping—— fist pumping
they all want more ——give it up, still on top
I’ve got that high score ———————-
I’ve got that high score

energy and focus makes me the Dopest ——
I’m not bragging ——but hope you know this
:adds to my opus
———-this adds to my opus

the plan relentless make more and spend less
that’s part ———-of my checklist—-
dividing my——-check less
bottom line ——specialist
who can —-contest this ——
taste with ———a fresh twist
delivering ——-pure freshness—-
told you—— don’t stress this
level up ———to —-the—A-list ———
momentum———- contagious

Straight to the top, no time to delay
Let your body rock, got my mind on replay
Building empires, from rhymes to paper
Every bar a brick———-, and I’m stacking skyscrapers

Always hustling——always hustling
the grind never cease
Flow so cold———-like a winter breeze

Never on the sideline———gold standard —brilliance
Sip it down —like fine wine——perfecting my resilience
Get yours ——-I’ll get mine—-beats in my veins
Riding high naturally——has always ——-been the aim,
And ain’t no stopping ———And ain’t no stopping
—————Stopping these gains

Negative vibe——no——never
jamming to the groove——
a routine endeavor
Beatz bumping—— fist pumping
they all want more ——give it up, still on top
I’ve got that high score ———————-
I’ve got that high score

Anything Goes Vocals 106 BPM

A piano fantasy based on the Japanese children's song "Bride Doll" (1932) composed by Haseo Sugiyama. Arranged by Kouichi Hashimoto

I found this beautiful piece among old sheet music while sorting through my bookshelf. I played it in my own way.

Vedran - The Heartbeat of the City

I was always in the orbit of Big Star when I was an active musician in Memphis. Everyone I played with played with someone that played with or dated Alex. We were the next crop of midtown DIYers. We played by their rules: first take best take, rock is for the people, metal sucks, you'll never be better than Elvis so don't try.

There's this one weird batch of songs between The Box Tops and Big Star that Alex cut and this is my favorite of the bunch. Free Again and I Wish I Could Meet Elvis are a couple others to seek out.

I recorded this 14 years ago. I've learned a lot about mixing since then. I've never released a remix (this may go a little beyond the standard definition) but it was a fun experience. It felt like hanging out with the younger, dumber, more exuberant me. Anyway, it kind of feels like cheating, but it's my Soundcloud and I'll smile if I want to.

The EMI Song (2024) - Alex Chilton

Perhaps this was always like this

Consequences 
Lives destroyed 
Foreshadowed at the start
No Hobgoblins to blame
Enough to squash your heart
Threshold Juniper 
Nature's mean
Purify me please 
Worldwise Holloween 
-------------
No Hobgoblins to blame
Enough to squash your heart
Threshold Juniper 
Nature's mean
Purify me please 
Whole world Holloween 
Threshold Juniper 
Nature's mean
Purify me please 
Worldwise Holloween

Holloween

The Moon Is Winking

Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic

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.
