I have been playing around with.....ii V I progressions and the Bebop A dominant scale. I call this one an Indie Dark Jazz flavor. Hope you will like some part of it and maybe hum along before it ends..... 
Thank you René for feedback on the first draft!

Verse 1
They’re all buying guns
To take a shot at you
But you’re still smiling
Because you died a long time ago
Two bullets through your soul

Refrain 1
It’s live from Chicago
Let the camera roll 
It’s live from Chicago

Verse 2
When the morning breaks
The camera fades away
But you’re still smiling
Because you’re still standing tall
Two bullets through your soul

Refrain2
Let the camera roll 
It’s live from Chicago
How was I to know?
Two bullets through your soul
It's live from Chicago

outro
How was I to know?
It's live from Chicago....

Let the camera roll
It's live from Chicago
How was I to know?
Two bullets through your soul
It's live from Chicago
How was I to know?
Two bullets through your soul
Here in Chicago
How was I to know?
Two bullets through your soul
let the cameras roll
let the cameras roll
it's life in Chicago
it's life in Chicago

Two bullets through your soul
It's live from Chicago

So many people that put up with bad behavior, being scorned and ridiculed and still find a way to smile and make the rest of us feel better. This song is for all of you.

This is based on the same drum track as DystOpia. Stoney sent a drum track that eventually became two different tracks - one more grungy (DystOpia) and this one a little more organ heavy. I asked Eric to come up with something different for this tune and boy did he deliver the goods.

TOUGH AS NAILS

Tough as nails
You fall down
Tough as nails
You rise again
Tough as nails
Your body a scar
Your spirit, your soul, your mind
It’s too hard to find
The time, the peace, the will
You reach down deep
You take a leap
You’re tough as nails
You’re tough as nails

Through the thick and thin
Through the good times and bad times
It all fades away
Through the quips and shame
The looks and sighs
Fade away….

Tough as nails
You rise again
Tough as nails 
You fall down
Gentle soul
You lift us up
Kind heart 
Never let us down
The sorrow, the sadness and pain
Washed away….
Your touch and your smile
Your smile
You’re tough as nails

Through the thick and thin
Through the good times and bad times
It all fades away
Through the quips and shame
The looks and sighs
Fade away….

And they just can’t see
And they don’t understand
They don’t understand you at all

And they just can’t see
And they don’t understand
They don’t understand you at all

Fade away, fade away, fade away…..

Ciudad Prohibida

Ya no hay mas nada que ver,
no tengo nada que hacer,
voy flotando con  la brisa.
Yo necesito saber
como me vas a   encender.

Angel del amanecer,
ven a buscarme otra vez
para sanar las heridas.
Para ponerme de pie
y atravesar la ciudad 
prohibida.

Veo tantas cruces de madera,
veo tantas almas con la misma sed.
Los bemoles en sus madrigueras,
tejen sus mentiras por la red.

No vivo para temer 
yo sirvo para crecer
lejos de tanta codicia.
lo que yo llevo en mi haber
son mis sueños en papel.

Musa del amanecer,
ven a ayudarme otra vez
para colmarnos de vida.
Para ponerme de pie     
y atravesar la ciudad 
prohibida.

Veo tantas cruces de madera,
veo tantas almas con la misma sed.
Los bemoles en sus madrigueras
traman sus mentiras por la red.

MIND WATCHING YOUR ELBOW X Mahan 💀 Mahan - ELEPHANT BUTTE

I started writing this song sitting in a field in wales on a camping trip
its a song about getting out and about in the summertime and looking for adventure as the title suggests its a group of memories and reflections on the way i see the world at the moment,maybe the restrictions on life we have had to face has woken something up in some of us and there is a need and desire to get back out there again
