The nightmare ended pretty well! - Beautiful sounds - Very good work :-)

Whoa! Really unique piece with synths and various beats. What program did you use to compose this? GarageBand has this Slam keyboard you used in the beginning, as well as different electronic beats you used throughout.

Tears in the rain

This song started life many years ago as an instrumental piano boogie.   At some stage I decided to add vocals, but only ever wrote one verse before other events intervened ,,, so ... the lyrics never got finished and the song never recorded.
	I have been a follower of the extraordinary vocalist, poet and songwriter W. E. Bartolotta (Bill) on SC for some time now, and one day, in my head, I heard “Life of the Party” in his voice.   I contacted Bill, who was quite enthusiastic about a collaboration, so I passed on what I had, along with a preliminary recording.
	After some back and forth, we arrived at this final result.

Credits belong to:
   	W. E. Bartolotta:  	lyrics, arrangement and vocal
	Ken Minty:  		music, lyrics, piano, bass and lap steel
	John Walsh:		mouth harp
	Mike Konopka:	percussion, bass, sound engineer, arrangement and mix

Please check out Bill's SC site at  soundcloud.com/user-233624083 … I promise, it will be well worth your while.

Lyrics:
     have the words ever hung from the tip of your tongue
     but you knew not what to say
     i know how you feel  it¹s no big deal
     you will survive another day
     still
     if you wish some assistance
     to keep that doubt at bay
     here is a fact for a winner, whether saint or sinner
     keep your cards in play
     cause you¹re the life of the party
     life of the party
     be free

     some have the notion there exists a potion
     that can flip a fool to cool
     but when your stomach is churnin and you brain is burnin
     you may feel just a tool
     still
     if you need some assistance
     to keep that doubt at bay
     here is a fact for a winner, whether saint or sinner
     keep your cards in play
     cause you¹re the life of the party
     life of the party
     be free

     there's  no one like you in all the galaxy
     come join the party be free

     some think life is merry
     just a bowl full of cherries
     each treat preceding the next
     some like to wallow in the causes they follow
     to fill up their emptiness
     still
     if you need some assistance
     to keep that doubt at bay
     here is a fact for a winner, whether saint or sinner
     just keep your cards in play
     cause you¹re the life of the party
     life of the party
     be free

Life Of The Party w W.E. Bartolotta

Your Corners Curve Like Lemonade
By David Husted

Your Corners Curve Like Lemonade Sun Drops    
Melting on an ocean's horizon   

I Wipe the mud from my knees
over madness
The windows are weeping as I lay dreaming 
Of stranded Islands
Empty and stripped clean


Ohhh… Your corners curve like lemonade
Zoo keepers  open up in their cages 
Bubble gum wrappers floating flames flickering orange    
We're  Basking in an almost; Ireland and Italy in Brooklyn

V2
Einstein and Heisenberg in parliament
Embers proliferating magic
Thriving through the time fields sucking information from the cosmos
Our very constitutions dust and water; 
Gold and oil on the alter now;  be a ghost to this chatter
Plot our lives in advance,……….     Of the rising sands

Ch
Ohhh… Your corners curve like lemonade
Zoo keepers  open up in their cages now
Bubble  gum wrappers floating flames flickering orange    
We're  Basking in an almost; Ireland and Italy in Brooklyn

Bridge

We will not Run
We will not run   

Ch 

The Chorus has a psychedelic vibe to it but with its own unique twists and turns.  I tried not to box myself into corners with my lyrics and used a very open ended process to my word smithing.  I felt know need to present you anything too "air-tight" in terms of story or arrangement.  This is what I love about song writing. I toss up ideas (the crazier the better) and see what happens.  Once I have a kaleidoscope of working pieces I gently mold them into forms that contain loose tendrils of cohesiveness and meaning but only just barely.  This is one of those song's I created with no preconceptions or creative borders and I just let my mind go where it wanted to.  Sometimes this works and sometimes it is a disaster.  In this case I arrived at something I liked enough to share with you.  

Never mind that Dave, what is the song about?  

It has something to do with the excruciating beauty of a sunrise.  It has something to do with love.  It has something to do with how quickly time moves forward.  It has something to do with how impermanent everything really is (including us).  It has something to do with how lucky we are to be the tiniest spark of a flame witnessing this miracle before us for the most minuscule parenthesis in time.  It has something to do with stepping out of my self imposed cage, and yet not running away and hiding.  It has something to do with staring this beautiful, wild catastrophe of existence right in the face and enjoying the ride.   Far Out Dude. Now go put your favorite tie dye shirt on, grab a cup a coffee and listen to my song : )!   Groovy Man…..Will Do!  

May your corners curve like lemonade.

Red Fur Waving On The Wall

Making up words now - think it means wishing the best for someone.

Get up with the feeling of the boredom brain
I can't let go
When you tire of the tears and the longest days
God bless my ugly soul

Tell me 'bout love
tell me' bout hope

And I look to the skies and the pouring rain
it makes no sound
And I turn to the tides and I'm born again
but I don't fit the crown

Hold on in a hurricane too long
Blown in, be the port between my storm

Tell me 'bout love
Tell me 'bout hope

Well I sing with the voice that my mother gave 
from this old town
And I long for the leap and the look too late
but I won't hit the ground

Hold in a hurricane too long
Blown in, be the port between my storm

When I have nothing left to hide
just genufection lines
With nothing on my mind 
just genufection lines
Oh nothing left to hide 
just genufection lines

Lord maybe on my own I'm nothing
Don't leave me on my own
For I've been wasting time

With nothing left to hide
just genufection lines
(I hold hurricanes 
hope is strong)

Fade to Grey - with Blue Al

This is my tribute to Peter Green. His playing made a huge impact on me when I was young. I really felt the emotion when he played and that made me want to get involved in music. 
This is a cover of 'Need Your Love So Bad'. The song was recorded and probably written by Little Willie John and covered by Peter Green and Fleetwood Mac in 1968. I loved it then and still do.
I don't usually do covers unless I have, what I think, is some new angle, or way of approaching the song. This is a straight copy. My version in much inferior to the FM version and in particular the tone of PGs incorrectly wired Les Paul. This is my homage to a hero. Go and listen again to PGs version.

Need Your Love So Bad( Cover and tribute to Peter Green)

Hi,
I am an engineer that is in love with music and a fan of the 70th progressive rock and electronic music.
Thank you all for listening !
