where are the lights cause I can't see
the sun won't shine at half past three
the city lights used to play their special song
that you will like or you won't

but that's alright by all means

on the boulevard cars come passing by
inside they look so sad I can't tell why
don't matter anyway cause I got you
don't matter anyway cause I got you, got you

that's alright by all means (got you)
that's alright by all means (got you)

by Alex Siegel and Jamie Conley (@user-906695244)

much love

By All Means (with J Conley)

If I had to summarize
You brought something more to life
Winter spring and summer fall
Happy every time I call
Then time gets in the way
And turns the body strange
You didn’t know my face
When I saw you yesterday

Goodbye is really hard to say
I know you’ll always stay
Sleeping in my arms

I just can’t believe you’re really gone
I know you could never be alone
There’s no way to change what’s meant to be
But show them everything you showed to me

We were just passing time
Watching the world go by
Those sleepy eyes
Really got a hold on me
In the morning light
Forget the world outside
Please don’t give up the fight
You still got so much to see

Goodbye is really hard to say
I know you’ll always stay
Sleeping in my arms

I just can’t believe you’re really gone
I know you could never be alone
There’s no way to change what’s meant to be
But show them everything you showed to me

Show them everything you showed to me
I just can’t believe you’re really gone
I know you could never be alone
There’s no way to change what’s meant to be (Goodbye is really hard to say)
But show them everything you showed to me (I know you’ll always stay sleeping in my arms)

Charlie

Like the fallen leaves
Like a chance to breathe
If there’s a right and a wrong
I wish that I believed
But every time I see you
You’re taking me home
I got such a lonely heart
For reasons I can’t define
It might be chemical
But life is beautiful
With you on my mind
You on my mind

I can see the river for miles
Realize
Love is like the tip of an arrow
To the heart
Holding your hand in the dark
Sunrise
Love me when the war is all over

A false apology
On the silver screen
They said the feeling was gone (the feeling is gone)
But you know better than
These fair-weather friends
They gave up and moved on
Leaving you alone with your thoughts
Like clouds passing by
No matter what you do
It’s always up to you
Who you keep in your life
Keep in your life

I can see the river for miles
Realize
Love is like the tip of an arrow
To the heart
Holding your hand in the dark
Sunrise
Love me when the war is all over
I can see the river for miles
(Realize)
Love is like the tip of an arrow
(To the heart)
Holding your hand in the dark
(Sunrise)
Love me when the war is all over

Photograph

'Bicycle' is off my new album Courage.

On a bicycle
She lifts up her wings
As if she could fly away
Somewhere across the world
On a suburban street
The people she meets
Are all the same

On a bicycle
She’s seeing the world
In different shades of green
From the side of the road
She looks like a girl
Who isn’t afraid to dream

In love in this moment
With you
In love in this moment
With you
(Can’t wait a moment longer)
In love in this moment
With you
In love in this moment
With you
(If I never see you again)
Not coming any closer
To feeling this way again
(Couldn’t wait a moment longer)
In love in this moment
With you
(If I never see you again)
(Couldn’t wait a moment longer)

All Of You

Willing To Change

What's On Your Mind

Sentimental

We were friends when we were young
It takes all you got just to carry on
Different people we've become
But you take me back to where I'm from

Making plans in the shifting sands of a modern life
Watching the time go out the window
We've both grown and we found our own little lullabies
In the back of my mind I think I miss you

You still read my mind
A distant emotion deep as an ocean
You leave me behind
Though time is a changer
Don't be a stranger

You still read my mind
A distant emotion deep as an ocean
You leave me behind
Though time is a changer
Don't be a stranger

Oh my steps alone
Oh my steps alone

Don't Be A Stranger

Fall in love
There's a part of me that only you can see into
Just enough
To show me there's an open door
There's something more

This won't ever last
But the feeling in my bones makes me forget it all
This heart is made of glass
But it's hard to care at all
Cause we're falling apart

All that I believe is the light you showed to me
But you took it away
Got to make you see
So I'll find a way to say
That I want you to stay

Fall in love
There's a part of me that only you can see into
Just enough to show there's an open door
There's something more
For me and you to see

This heart is made of glass
But it's hard to care at all
Cause we're falling apart

There's a part of me that only you can see into
Show me there's an open door
There's something more

Long Distance Flight

"Headspin" by Alex Siegel
official video: https://youtu.be/7_Vf5iY0S0o

look out the airplane window
to the clouds like snow
a cotton candy ocean
below

where will you go tomorrow
to london or la
did you pack your own bags
today

the world is so wide
it makes my head spin
round and round
makes my head turn
round and round
round and round

fireworks from an airplane
on the fourth of july
a thoughtless conversation
goes by

on the road to august
we stopped out of the heat
and thought of all the people
we'll meet

the world is so wide
it makes my head spin
round and round
makes my head turn
round and round
round and round

Headspin

i could try to change your mind but i won't
how could i see what's in your heart if you don't
if the time has come and gone will i know
what i know right now

the world's crying through your eyes
i'm sorry that we said goodbye
i know you'll feel better
just give it a little time

such a lovely day to find
something that you keep inside is open
find another way to go
telling everyone you know it's over
i will learn to see with my heart again
i will learn to breathe and start again

no more lonely days
no more lonely days
no more lonely days

"Daydreaming Pilot" by Alex Siegel

waiting for the army truck to leave my driveway
holding on to something I wanted you to say
must be a reason why you never left my mind
i'm a daydreaming pilot flying blind
to you

you say it's so strange living all on your own
away from the places that you had known
don't want to choose your love or mine
i'm a daydreaming pilot flying blind

daydreaming
pilot
daydreaming
pilot
daydreaming

daydreaming

it's hard to watch her eyes
behind her love disguise
if ever you should find
a heartbreak in her smile

oh it's getting later
it's almost time to go
if only you could tell her
before she melts away like snow

she will be gone
and soon the dawn

it's hard to say goodbye
it's cold out in the night
she wants to keep you right
underneath her sight

oh it's getting later
it's almost time to go
you only want to love her
it's your heart that tells you so

"Something About You" by Alex Siegel
official video: https://youtu.be/esDquTsTRqM

thought i had it on lock but there's something about you
took me straight to the top now i'm living without you
days are strange when you're gone
something's changed

i was doing alright when i was on my own
but the love on my mind wouldn't leave me alone
days are strange i got lost
in the rain
there's something about you, something about you
there's something about you, something about you

the lights that shine
on the boulevard
the flowers that grow in the yard
make it hard to walk away
make it hard to walk away
cause there's something about you
there's something about you

Something About You

boats go by slowly on the old canal 
a pair of tickets and your head is on my shoulder 
feel so sleepy but the ride isn't over 
stay up with me 

up all night, up all night 

we pass the corner where the girl is selling roses 
down an alleyway a clock begins to chime 
i think of nothing but your hand in mine 
stay up with me 

up all night, up all night 
the dawn will break my heart 

up all night 
put your hand in mine

"Dreamers" by Alex Siegel
official video: https://youtu.be/vtttVX8o59E

don’t believe what they told you
till you see with your own eyes
you could be on the outside
looking in on your own life

I don’t know why it’s hard to try at all

we are the dreamers we lie awake
it doesn’t matter how long it takes
if we ever get to see it all
I don’t know
if we ever get to see at all
I don’t know

a lonely thought I’m on my own
the look in your eyes could take me home

I don’t know why it’s hard to try at all

we are the dreamers we lie awake
it doesn’t matter how long it takes
if we ever get to see it all
I don’t know
if we ever get to see at all
I don’t know

'Everything Turns' by Alex Siegel & Westerns
~~~~~~
Lyrics:
oh rain gonna fall
and everything turns to
everything turns to
I know you're sick of it all
I'll never let go of you

oh rain gonna fall
and everything turns to
everything turns to
I know you're sick of it all
I'll never let go of you


and all this life
in the meantime
doesn't mean a thing
if you're not by my side
I know this life is such a hard time
feeling everything
what's new sunshine

oh rain gonna fall
and everything turns to
everything turns to
I know you're sick of it all
I'll never let go of you

these endless days
feelings don't go away
could I make you change
your mind and stay
I'm petrified
I've been so tongue-tied
can't tell you why
what's new sunshine

oh rain gonna fall
and everything turns to
everything turns to
I know you're sick of it all
I'll never let go of you

oh rain gonna fall
and everything turns to
everything turns to
I know you're sick of it all
I'll never let go of you

Everything Turns - Alex Siegel & Westerns

are you lonely
girl if only i could tell
but my minds an empty well
close to shore

take it slowly
girl if only i could sleep
i would dream
my minds a quiet stream
before the rain

i've been spending time with friends of mine
but i can't seem to keep you off my mind
it's not hard to tell you know me well
but too late will be your crime
be your crime

falling sideways
theres too many highways
i could take
and it feels like a mistake
to let you go

i've been spending time with friends of mine
but i can't seem to keep you off my mind
it's not hard to tell you know me well
but too late will be your crime
be your crime

Too Late

you know that i still have the same heart
it never skipped a beat
i didnt mean to turn your love away
now im thinking on my feet
could we meet in the same place
is it so hard to see
teardrops running down your face
you belong with me

shot down

maybe you dont feel the same
you dont have to try
someones always looking your way
i cant look you in the eye
i was gone for a long time
dont know where i was
came back and got lost again
shot down from above

shot down

maybe you dont feel the same
you dont have to try
someones always looking your way
i cant look you in the eye

Shot Down feat. Cornelia Murr

https://youtu.be/GgKyAIyIWtI
living like a ghost
there and then you're gone
alone
it's hard to take your own advice

i messed up maybe once or twice
i just wanna be by your side
i got nothing to hide
came in from the coast
just to see the dawn
be gone
it's hard to take your own advice
i messed up maybe once or twice
i just wanna be by your side
i got nothing to hide

Advice

mv: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zV2AEPOnV4
Burning all the bridges that we cross
Just another kid who wound up lost
Somewhere on the face of the earth
She’s hiding her tears

Something about it don’t feel right
Looking at a screen to see the light
Home alone this empty feeling’s
The same every year

Superficial beauty fades
Show me something that won’t go away
Superficial beauty fades
Show me something that won’t go away

One more lifeless photograph
Don’t know if I should cry or I should laugh
Stuck inside a loop that I can’t break

Roll another number for the road
Hear the greatest story ever told
This could be the only trip
My heart’s gonna take

Superficial beauty fades
Superficial beauty fades
Superficial beauty fades

Superficial beauty fades
Show me something that won’t go away
Superficial beauty fades
Show me something that won’t go away

Is it only
Love is a ruby
That you wear outside
Is it only
Love is a ruby
That you wear outside

Superficial beauty fades
Superficial beauty fades
Superficial beauty fades

Made this at the beginning of the COVID quarantine...
the empty streets and empty grocery aisles were eerie...
got inspired and wrote this song
be safe out there
love to all

Lonely Holiday

losing my way
a lonely holiday
falling asleep
to the sound of empty streets
there's fog on the glass
guess we're all alone at last
wish I could take a break from thinking for a while
I would do anything just to make you smile
counting the days living in exile
drifting away to another empty aisle
ah, feeling so down and I don't know why
wish I could take a break from thinking for a while
I would do anything just to make you smile
I know it's hard enough just living through the night
wish I could tell you that it's gonna be alright
lonely holiday, lonely holiday
feeling so down and I don't why

Lonely Holiday

i wrote this song, Sangsuree, for my friend Nicole, a beautiful musician. a few years back, when my spirit was broken and I felt confused and completely unsure what i was supposed to be doing in the world, she was a beacon of hope for me. something in the way she sang reminded me of all the possibility and beauty in life, despite the pain we sometimes feel... she really ‘gave me back my smile’ to quote Joni Mitchell. not long after we met and went our separate ways, i found out that she had died in a highway accident in Chiang Mai, Thailand. stunned, and deeply grateful for her life, i wrote this song, Sangsuree.


You were just a little bit older than me
And the way that you sang made me cry
I never told you but I can’t understand
You gave the world your heart
And it took your life

You were the lightning striking
And I was in the out in the cold
You were the moon in the night sky
I was out on my own

There I was a little bit younger than you
I didn’t have anything better to do
So let the rain and the sun come pouring down
And hit the roots so deep under the ground
I wanna feel the way that we did before
We went through all of this
Remember what you wished for

You were the lightning striking
And I was out in the cold
You were the moon in the night sky
I was out on my own

You were the lightning striking
And I was out in the cold
You were the moon in the night sky
I was out on my own
Yeah I was out on my own
