Well, what’s wrong with me?
I should have loved you more
You were good to me
I should have loved you more
You made my dreams come true
I should have loved you more
What’s wrong with me?
What’s wrong with me?

I’m a fool
I should have loved you more
You were true to me
I should have loved you more
You gave me everything
I should have loved you more
I’m a fool
I’m a fool

Sometimes you only get one chance to find love in this life
So you better love your lover like there won’t be one more night

Am I crazy?
I should have loved you more
You were my best friend
I should have loved you more
You were a blessing
I should have loved you more
Am I crazy?
Or am I crazy?

Sometimes you only get one chance to find love in this life
So you better love your lover like there won’t be one more night

Sometimes you only get one chance to find love in this life
So you better love your lover like there won’t be one more night

I Should Have Loved You More

This is my whimsical impression of moving through dream states.

At some point during our REM state,
we may move from free floating imagery
to suddenly crystalizing within a lucid state...while it lasts.

Upon this startling realization,
that nothing could seem so real,
it also begins to appear
that this new reality soon slips back 
into the mundane fare of dreamscapes...

and suddenly we arrive in Alpha,
when we are realigning with consensus reality,
where we believe everyone is sharing the same dream.

-FATHER GOD- Ricky Mendoza 2019

To celebrate 2000, I took a year off to write songs, novels, plays, and stories - and I've been doing that since. At the end of my first year, I won first prize in the USA Songwriting Contest in the Lyric Category for 'Drum Machines and Beauty Queens.' This led to co-writing songs with many excellent musicians, including those represented in songs posted here. 

More recently, I was one of seven finalists in the Crisis Lyric Category of the 2021 UK Songwriting Contest for 'Lockdown Blues,' and one of nine nominees in the 2021 International Song Awards with 'Didn't the River Know' and 'Blue and Gold.'

For the past two years, I've been collaborating with many talented musicians on Kompoz. I release many of these songs here and compile the best into albums released under Captain Stormfield's Trip on Spotify and other platforms (see links below).
