Description: Well you know there's days , when I won't get paid

OMG, this is so lovley! I'm so happy to hear a new song from you Andy. I've always loved your songs and voice. I hope you are well and keep writing

Love the melody! Strong vocals & arrangement. Lyrics are lovely, well done!!

It was always a great regret that I never got to produce this one!

This song was initially an instrumental.  With the great help from Richard and Mellina, we successfully converted it into a vocal song preserving the original title.  See what you think.   Hope you like our work.
Thanks for stopping by.

[LYRICS]
Let me lead you through the silver stars			
We can kiss under the moon			
Wrapped inside each others arms			
I can show you where your path could be			
If you walk along with me, come now you’ll see		
		
Watch the sun slip into night			
Hold each other till it’s out of sight			
Don't ever hide or stop thinking of me 			

(Chorus)			
I only wanted to be your secret dream			
No-one else can see, no-one else can dream			
When the sun comes up and I have to wake			
Thoughts of you are still in my head			
Thoughts of all that we have shared			
			
If you like we could dance under the rain			
Life will be full of hope as it begins to change			
Oh I'm watching thru my lattice window			
Behind the glass just like a shadow			
Take my hand and I’ll guide you through			
 			
Repeat Chorus			
 			
As you lay down alone and turn your head			
Feel the cold from your empty bed			
Close your eyes and think of me			
			
Only you can have that secret dream			
No one else can see,  no one else can dream			
Only you can see			
When the sun comes up and I wake with you in my head			
Thoughts of all that we have shared

Collaborations

Lattice Window   (featuring Richard John)

everyone has their time
everyone needs something nice to believe in
everyone needs someone
everyone needs to be loved

well you know it's nothing new
and you're ready to give way
you might just think it through 
before you

when there's not much more to say
when you're seein' only blue
you might just wanna get away
from you

everyone takes the ride
everyone hits the skids sometimes
everyone feels better outside
everyone contains a bright light inside

bright light inside

Written by Damian Smith
Produced by Robert Ruby 
Drums by Soichiro Tanabe

A song about getting older, but also recognizing what you have right now.

It's Alright

Its Alright

I wanted to create a mystical atmosphere in this song. Its a place i am sure we all have been at some time in our lives, a lonely place where we miss the one we love or have loved ..ill leave it up to your imagination hope you love the song.

Just Getting By

Now in the land of milk and honey 
In the home of the free and the brave  
It’s a time of feast or famine  and your worth equals your pay 
Sometimes you gotta wonder why
  Work hard all your life but still just getting by
Still just getting by

Well now, do you have or have you not 
Its the question of the day  
And your answer will determine
 If you’re out or got it made 
Sometimes you gotta wonder why
  Work hard all your life but still just getting by 
Still just getting by 
Yea

¯\_(ツ)_/¯  solo ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

The bills they just keep coming  
The prices they all rise
 World you used to know before  crumbles by and by  
The same olds never ending
 But the dream keeps you alive  
Till you finely you realise 
That that dreams a lie

Oh, do what you can hope for the best  
Who knows you might win lotto yet  
Life a gamble and you know it’s true  
When one man wins the others lose 
Your lifes defined right from the start  
So get in line and do your part  
Buck the system if you dare 
But it’s dog-eat-dog so just beware 
Sometimes you gotta wonder why  
Work hard all your life but still just getting by
 Still just getting by 
Sometimes you gotta wonder why  
Work hard all your life and still just getting by
Still just getting by
Bye bye, still just getting by
Bye bye, still just getting by 
Yea

it's fine, is seems
you stop, believe
the simple words
rain starts to blur

droppin' down your trail
put it in the mill
next up on your list
send a handy wish

full daisy chains
'n stacked remains
a joke that fits
non stick surface

this massive charge
come foolish hearts
you mix love in
on top of it
a hundred firsts
go unrehearsed
perplexing wind
to lure you in

Well you know there's days , when I won't get paid

Happy Now

Caught you looking sad, with those stunning eyes, how can you be so sad?

That’s When I Knew

One of my favourite early John Cale tracks, simple but beautiful.

[CONCEPT]
Getting out of your comfort zone would be a difficult thing more than it sounds. anybody wants to avoid having any troubles from doing so, but it would be the only way for you to get what you’ve been craving for from the bottom of your heart. Don’t be hesitant to step forward to your dream.

[LYRICS]
Since I met you
My life is like a roller coaster
It's upside down, my feeling is out of control

Take my pain away
But won’t you please come closer? 
Is everything okay with my mind?
You really rocked my world 

I thought I’d never be distracted by this kind of emotion
Dictionaries never help me, mystery, oh 

So sure, I’m not a rock n roll star
Like to stay at home
But something is not the same at all

I think I’d never met someone like you if I was lying on my bed
Ordinary days seem so meaningful
Now, I know

Get out of my comfort zone, there is a roller coaster to ride on
Gonna be okay, here I go, there is a roller coaster to ride on

I thought I’d never be distracted...
Dictionaries never help me… (never gonna help me!)
I think I’d never met someone like you if I was lying on my bed
Ordinary days seem so meaningful
Now, I know

Since I met you
My life is like a roller coaster
But wanna find out
What can I do to know you better?
Since I met you…
