When he died
My Dad he left me
His guitars and his guns
And I
I couldn’t believe
That this day had really come
And the memories some long forgotten
Came flooding back In photographs
And your friends shared your stories.
I hope you heard, I hope you laughed

Dad I —-

You won’t be here in the morning
So we will climb toward your light

He was a mountain
He was a mountain
He’s my Dad

The last time that I saw him
I held his hand and said goodbye But on the day we spread his ashes
I swear I felt him by my side
I hope that he heard me
I hope he hears this song
And I hope heaven has guitars so that he can play along

Dad I —-

You won’t be here in the morning
So we will climb toward your light

Bridge
I can see when I close my eyes
We’re all learning how to live a life
Without you

Every waking moment you’re on my mind
It’s so hard to sleep at night without you

Yeah, we climb toward your light but
Texas stars don’t shine as bright
Without you


He was a mountain
He was a mountain
He was my Dad

He was a mountain
He was a mountain
He was my Dad

Thinks she’s hot
With the black around her eyes
Tries to look bad
But she’s an angel in disguise

Sharpened up her nails
And filed her teeth
Nobody’s fooled
She’s a softie underneath

She shaved half her head
And she’s covered in tattoos
Inked all over
With reds and greens and blues

And she puts on clothes
Like the Whore of Babylon 
Such a nice girl
Ain’t seducing anyone 

Be a devil
Be a devil
Be a devil
Be a devil 

Gotta get evil
Gotta be more nihilistic 
Gotta break some rules
Gotta buy some darker lipstick

Gott love the darkness
And hate the light 
Gotta  be a devil 
And you’ll be all right.

Windy Hair - Gen XYZ is a song for the postmodern generations that have found its not possible to rely on the previous ways of representing reality. The metanarratives of the past fail to account for where we find ourselves now, or show us the best ways to move forward in a world of relativism. Its a straight forward indie rock song that speaks to the common thread that runs through the lives and experiences of generations X,Y, and Z: how do we find our way in this new landscape when many of the old societal structures, systems, and beliefs are no longer relevant, useful, true, applicable, or reflective of the worlds we live in. 
Do we settle for lives of bare subsistence and servitude to the ideas of the past? Or do we find new ways that are empowering and life affirming! 
Acoustic and electric guitars, bass, drums and vocals without any lame ass autotuning, no AI, no fake BS, just real playing, real singing about real things in the real world. Get up and dance and sing along!!

"Windy Hair - Gen XYZ"

With your “so what” style 
and you windy hair
ya dress like a punk
on the way to a rave
and ya don’t care
ooo if you aint their fav
Its ok
Won’t change what ya do or say

Riding along on the waves that push you
not really sure where they’re gonna take you
Along for the ride
as long as it feels ok inside
If it all gets too absurd
You can kick all to the curb

With your flashing eyes and your windy hair
the world wants you march 
but you’d rather dance
And ya know it ain’t wrong
to make the most of your only chance
Its ok
to follow your heart today

With your windy hair and your so what style
Ya know that we’re only here for awhile
So you might as well sing
Ya never know what tomorrow will bring
Ya might as well dance
Ya never know if you’ll get another chance

Riding along on the waves that push you
not really sure where they’re gonna take you
Along for the ride
as long as it feels ok inside
If it all gets too absurd
well you can make like a bird 
and fly away

With your flashing eyes and your windy hair
the world wants you march 
but you’d rather dance
And ya know it aint wrong
to make the most of your only chance
Its ok
to follow your heart today

Noztalgia [Acoustic]

"100 Promises" by These Guitars Say Sorry captures the raw edge of promises made and broken, delivered through a no-frills acoustic guitar and vocal setup that recalls the grit and honesty of Billy Bragg. With lyrics that dig into the quiet disappointments and unmet hopes of everyday relationships, the track presents an unvarnished take on the emotional exchanges that shape us. The stripped-back guitar work and direct vocals create an intimate, unguarded atmosphere, making "100 Promises" both a confession and a challenge, perfect for listeners who value sincerity over polish.


LYRICS
Believe me, do you know why I'd ever lie to you
Deceive me, then you'll learn the meaning of the
truth
You're so empty, there's nothing you have I could
ever want
You tempt me, I don't think so now your shine has
all worn off

100 promises I'll make them
100 promise I'll break them
Cos all the glitters is not gold you know

And all the lights that burn so brightly
And all the smiles that seek to blind me
And if you look you will not find me here

The last bus
Gives you time to ponder on your way home
The last bus
Your evening ended as you started all alone

The naked light bulb
Bleak illuminates your darkest thoughts
It's a cold and lonely world.
It's no use wishing that it never was

100 promises I'll make them
100 promise I'll break them
Cos all the glitters is not gold you know

And all the lights that burn so brightly
And all the smiles that seek to blind me
And if you look you will not find me here

Why is nothing as it seems?
Your beauty's only skin deep
Scratch it and it bleeds
Why are your whispers louder than your screams?
You've seen all that I've seen
Suspend your disbelief

LYRICS

Leave it with me, and we'll see.
What we find without.
What the talks about.
What they've left around.
What goes round and round.

Leave it with me, and we'll see.
What we're dealing out.
What we worked around.
What it's all about.
Why we're talking loud.

The spark that glows, can be restored.
The spark is fed, the fire roars.

Just let it be, and we'll see.
What the chats about.
What they're hawking out
Where the feelings gone.
Where we're going wrong.

Just let it be, and we'll see.
What they're paying on.
What's the chance they're gone.
What's the right and wrong.
Whether it's begun.

The spark lights up the window pane.
Only the blackened charred remains.
The spark that glows, can be restored.
The spark is fed, the fire roars.

Leave it to me, and we'll see.
What the life's about.
Spinning lies around.
What this loves about.
What lies round about. 

Leave it to me, and we'll see.
What is going on.
Where it all went wrong.
Why the fuss began.
When the rabbit rabbit ran.

The spark lights up the feilds again.
Showing only charred remains.
The spark that glows, can be restored.
The spark is fed, the fire roars.

Leave it with me, and we'll see.
When it's coming back.
A surprise attack.
What or not, the craic.
That we sorely lack.

Leave it to me, and we'll see.
What the chats about.
What they're hawking out.
Where the feelings gone.
Where we're going wrong.

Lyrics:

You’re gonna break up just a little bit   (improvised)
You’re gonna take it and run far far away
And when the time comes you never know when  it comes
You’ll be ready like it’s the end of days 
It’s a bluesy little ditty on the south side of town (artistic freedom. I don’t know anyone that lives down the south side of town)
And let’s turn all your frowns upside the hell down 
We’ve got the ocean deep in our minds
So the desert don’t faze us with its sands and lines 
Chorus: (You can sing the You had me at hello part)
You had me. You had me at hello       (Jerry Maguire but I prefer Roy Kent reference)
You had me. You had me at hello           
She said gentle with my black hair.         (True hook up story. Based on fact)
She said Gentle. I’m a little scared
Take me down to the river bed where I’ma be free. (Hell yeah)
And I got no reservations about the restaurant at 3. (At dorsia) (American Psycho reference)
No need for make up darling you can be bold. (Women all over the world be like, “hell no.”
One thousand arrows couldn’t blot our sun     (300 referenceYou had me at hello        
With the raindrops falling down your long black hair
 And I am sold
To the bidder with the clear doe eyes (true story. I was a senior in high school and auctioned off. I was alerted by some giggling girls in grade 10 that my gf had paid the highest price. Memoirs of a geisha indeed. Which makes me Gong Li geisha)
May you be ready
For an avalanche of things I’ll do for you (like what)   (the adlibs are taking the piss out of the incredibly romantic lyrics)
Clearly I have made my mistakes  (what mistakes) 
But I’ll be here for you            Verse 2
Oh what a drag. I’m sighing down your chest (this came before the movie quote before it which I thought tied the room together nicely. I’m not really a huge fan of huge bosoms but it…rhymes)
Pulling at your dress 
Oh she said yes, to twister after the date , a hell of a mess. (True story. Why else would I buy Twister?)
It’s a pulpy little fiction where we go around (Pulp Fiction reference)
And Heath still plays my favorite clown (heath ledger reference)
We’ve got the movies stuck in our minds
So the scenes don’t faze us when we lose our lines
You are my lover
You are my queen
You are my lover
Queen of everything

I swear. I will be ready
I Swear. I’ll see this to the end.




You Had Me (Feat. Herfsen)

cant nobody tell me shit- shit- shit- shit-
want to see me dead? come,

come, see me rot in my head again,
fallen out with my medicine, im only human. 
cant bury this piece of shit.
what do you want from me?
made a dozen tracks this week,
dont have any time to speak to you.
and, if its air i breathe, why is it that i see
you and i so differently.

cant nobody tell me shit,
spent too many nights stuck
bleeding little pig. little bitch in my head
want to see me dead, come see me then.
come, come see me rot.
anybody know me knew i never had alot.
have alot more now, if i werent so proud.
tell me, are you really going to stick around?

tell me, are you really going to stick around?
