Slithered

I've had the pleasure of recording songs with Aleck and Oddrun.
I sent this song to Aleck and Oddrun for their wonderful interpretation.
Thank you both for this great rendition.

2 Steps From The End (Featuring Oddrun and Aleck)

Yesterday's Song

This is about making a change in life.  

Lyrics;
The walls are thin in the place that I live
And it's always so loud outside
The neighbors scream and shout on either side of me
Sometimes it's hard to sleep at night
Trying to sing a song that I heard yesterday
But I just can't recall the words
The Neighbors banging on the wall hey keep it down in there
Leave the singing for the birds
But it's a sunny day. No need to stay inside
Time for me to put the foot to the pedal.
And go out for a ride
The town is very small but it's the world I live in
And there's a freeway that is rolling by.
The coffee shops drawing in the weary drivers
Hot caffeine will open up those eyes
The traffic lights are always red way too long
The green light's just a short and sweet surprise
Is there somewhere else that I ought to be
Another kind of place to live my life
Well it's a sunny day out in the countryside
And freedom is the road that I to travel
So I'm going for a ride
Going for a ride to get my mind steady
Not coming back unless I'm good and ready
It's a sunny day the world is big and wide
And I've got time to spend
I'm going for a ride

A track I have played with in the past but was never fully satisfied with until now.  Very happy to have collaborated with Finn again on this fun take on a Irish trad standard.

“Lost In Domesticated Bliss”

Lost in domesticated bliss
I feel the drop of my chin
Another Friday night and I’m staying in again
A wild man once so comatose in isolation
Lull me into sleep, A quiet desperation

CHORUS

I’m leaving. I’m leading the charge to leap right outta here
I’m seeing thru reasons needing to start all over
I’m seeking a treatment
Let you and me breathe again
News weaving, don’t need it
We need to find a cure to fear

If this all goes wrong again
You can always blame me
I sing my own songs again
The ones that set me free

I keep on reading things I don’t understand
Are the numbers adding up
Or are we re-counting days again?



I’m lost in domestic bliss

I know I need to hold on thru this phase we’re in
It’s the best thing for us
They say that living’s staying in
But I know every day stuck here in my isolation
I’m going just a little more … crazy

CHORUS

Is this all manipulation?
Will it save the population?
Feels like such a simulation
Is the matrix real?

The way that things are caving in
I should be raging
But I’m too numb to feel
Will this ever lead us out?
Lost in domestic bliss
