A simple chord progression I stumbled on gradually evolved into this piece.

Umbriel

Another guitar interlude from the stream of my consciousness : )
It is downloadable if anyone wants to add anything

Epi Centric (Acoustic Guitar Instrumental)

it's war that we abhor
it's more than we can take
the lies go on and on
so that you can take

it's war
that we abhor

put on your thinking caps
we know you can do it

there's got to be a way out

A Job That Pays

This was a part of a concept album that never took off.  This is the young man going to work in the big factory that keeps the town alive. Years later the factory would close. But for this scene, things are looking up. 

Lyrics;
I've been flipping burgers.
For what seems a hundred years

My life was stuck in neutral
But now I'm changing gears

I got myself a job that pays
the place I need to be
I'm putting on a hard hat
Gonna work in a factory

Walk in with a hot cuppa joe
Lunch bucket too

Working that nine to five
Cause baby needs a new pair of shoes


Yeah I got myself a job that pays
It's the place I need to be
I'm putting on a hard hat
Gonna work in a factory


Maybe in a couple years
I'll get a big fat raise

it sure beats flipping burgers
Cause it's a job that pays

I got myself a job that pays
It's the place I need to be
I'm putting on a hard hat
Gonna work in a factory

Wear that blue collar
Making that dollar
Not a doctor not a lawyer
But I'm feeling ten feet taller

I'm gonna make my ol man proud
And be all I can be
No it's not the Army, but
I'm Working in a factory!

I got myself a job that pays
It's the place I need to be
I'm putting on that hard hat, baby
Go to work in a factory!

Call me the working man
Guess that's what I am!

For my oldest daughter who never likes to say "goodbye" but prefers to say "love ya, see ya".  Thanks to Debbie Buesking for giving this reissue of a song I posted a while back a rejuvenating lift and a whole new feel only she can do.  More of her fine music can be found @debra_buesking.   Also a shoutout to Annie Smart who graced the original with her superb lyrics and vocals; soundcloud.com/annie-smart-1/dont-say-goodbye-by-david-dunham-and-annie-smart.  Jose Castro has also put forth a beautiful vocal interpretation using mine and Debbie's version: https://soundcloud.com/jfcpetruscastrus/dont-say-goodbye/comment-1727452658

REVOLVES AROUND YOU....

Targets
lyrics & music by Kate Stanton
guitar by Garrett Kirby

You're like a diamond
from pressure and heat
they'll think they crushed you
like grapes under feet
so fine wine they will drink
keep shooting at your targets
cuz we'll dodge them...

I see you child.
Blossoming through the concrete. Open your window.

Your spark was dancing 
light on the rain
puddles that glisten 
christened in the pain
we don't sulk in defeat
there's beauty in the ashes
and we'll still love them.

I see you mother.
I see you sister.
I see you brother.
I see you father,
see you child.
Oh, I see you child.

You're like a diamond
from pressure and heat
they'll think they crushed you
like grapes under feet
so fine wine they will drink
keep shooting at your targets
cuz we'll dodge them...
