And I know what it's like when I hear great music. Just heard some. Excellent work by both of you.

In the alleyways of midnight, shadows climb the walls
Playing trash guitar, while the night tumbles and falls
Cigarette smoke lingers, on the city streets so bare
Spinning songs of disillusion, with a heart in full repair

Hey now Lou, where has it gone?
Time lost in translation, in a big world gone wrong
So many highs and lows, a velvet symphony
Nico in the shadows, at the Silver Factory

The city is a circus, with clowns on every block
The neon lights they sputter, as the music rolls and rocks
Singing songs of outcasts, the misfits and the lost
Finding space in the music, doesn’t matter the cost

Hey now Lou, where has it gone?
Time lost in translation, in a big world gone wrong
So many highs and lows, a velvet symphony
Nico in the shadows, at the Silver Factory
Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba

Walking down Grove Street, got my leather jacket on
Thinking about my masterpiece, in the half light of dawn
Channeling the spirits, and the songs of the day
In a dream that keeps repeating, every step along the way

Hey now Lou, where has it gone?
Time lost in translation, in a big world gone wrong
So many highs and lows, a velvet symphony
Nico in the shadows, at the Silver Factory
Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba

Hey Lou

I hear her voice in the deep twilight
You dream your dream live your life
Try to find the sound 
I get lost I get found

My baby’s wild she lives on the ledge
She sits along the river’s edge
This mountain town
She gets lost she gets found

Songbird living outside my door
He sings loud when it starts to pour
Song goes round
He gets lost he gets found 

I used to be your Superman
Catch my breath take my hand
Lose time gain ground
I get lost I get found

Lost & Found

Just set back and let your mind wander.
I am playing the nylon string guitar and via my wind controller the Bansuri flute. Band-in-a-Box is playing the rest of the tracks.

LYRICS
-------
It’s been seven years since last I saw you
And still my eyes cry when I think about you leaving 
Seven years since last I saw you 
And still I find, you fill my mind and I still miss you 

Since you went away, it seems a lifetime 
So many seasons have come and gone so slowly
Seven years have seemed a lifetime
And night and day, I quietly prayed while hoping you could hear me

[Solo]

Though now I walk alone, I carry memories
You were my sunshine and you filled my world with wonder
And for seven years, I’ve been so thankful
I know for sure, for evermore, I shall always love you
Yes for sure and for evermore, I shall always love you
I’ll always… never stop loving you

Seven Years

You are in a very private special place.  You get really scared and nervous when evil tries to take over your mind and body.  But then you calm down when good takes over.  Back and forth you go.  Which will win?  You have to listen to find out!

I am playing the bass, guitar, and via my keyboard controller the choir. Band-in-a-Box is supplying the rest of the tracks.

V1
chaos of change hangs over them like storm clouds 
rare moments of clarity are lost in shouting crowds
everyone knows the facts  they read them on the internet 
groveling around in their bubbles without regret

 V2
win  lose  draw while never thinking of compromise
hunkered down and deaf to surrounding cries 
chasing illusions  always leaving reality behind
scrolling timelines seeking more of their kind

Solo

V3
an armor of self righteousness, that  is their shield
proudly screaming they will never yield
fingers swipe with eyes afire through endless feeds
claiming to seek truth while planting dangerous seeds

Outro solo

Outro vocal

i’m drowning in the echo of news 

coming up for air and singing some blues

Chaos Of Change

Something in your way
Somewhere in your eyes
An open invitation 
But I know I won’t reply

Because there’s nothing I will do
And nothing I will say
And the more and more I fantasize
The more you slip away

I’m wishing on a love 
I can’t make real
Reaching out for something
I know I'll never let me feel

But I could be wrong
You could be right
You could be the fire in my life
You could be strong
Carry my weight
Be the iron in my gate
You could be every note
That I would ever sing
You could be my falling star
You could be my everything

It might be a mistake
I’ve made my share and more
Another episode of cowardice
Well, I’ve seen this show before

And still you pull my heart
With the mischief in your smile
While every breath’s a stop and start
Every inch a mile

But, oh, those little moments
Make me fall
How can everything seem possible
When I know it’s not at all

But I could be wrong
You could be right
You could be the fire in my life
You could be strong
Carry my weight
Be my savior, be my fate
You could be every joy that 
Love and heaven brings
You could be my angel, baby
You could be my everything

And all these blinds of mercy
That I have sadly drawn
Are the only things that I have
Ever learned to count upon 

So all the light the darkness
Let’s me see
It's just another empty laugh
I guess, the joke’s on me

You Could Be My Everything

Baby, give a long look
Read me like an open book
Lay on out your love hook
Baby won’t you let me bite
Won’t you let me bite

Call me on my cool bluff
Sway me with your smooth strut
Give my love a sweet shove
Baby, I can be so shy
I can be so shy

You know I ain’t so no go
Ask me now I’ll tell you everything you want to know
And let you take me to the other side
I want to hold you, breakthrough
Tell me how, I’ll do it just the way you want me to
Make you melt like ice
Baby, just tell me what you like

Give me what I ask for
Shake me on the dance floor
Take me out the back door
Baby, can you get me high
I want to get so high

Put me on your wish list
Pull me close by both wrists
Just another wet kiss
And baby, you can make me fly
You can make me fly

You know I ain’t so solo
Take me now, I’ll go anywhere you want to go
And let you take me to the other side
I want to hold you, breakthrough
Tell me how, I’ll do everything you want me to
Make you melt like ice
Baby, just tell me what you like

I want to play with danger
Some artful stranger 
Who’ll turn my insides out
You’re a pretty young thing
Come make my heart sing
Reveal my eyes
With no disguise, no doubts

Show me how the heart quakes
Thunders as the room shakes 
Love me till the dawn breaks
And never never say goodbye
Never say goodbye

Tell Me What You Like

Seems as I age I care so little for so much and so much for so little,  This song is about all the things I didn't do, all the accomplishments I didn't achieve.  Yet all the friends I've had and all the love I've known overshadows any regret.  

Dave Bell of Blue Atitude played guitar.  I played bass and sang.

I Knew What It's Like

A song about the one who got away in The Case Of The Mystery Vibes.

Mystery Vibes

We raced in orbits
With the moon’s embrace
Three decades strong
Through time and space
Never counting the days
Just keeping the pace

Old gray stars 
They’re not meant to last
They fade with the night
Now part of the past
Old gray stars
Like you and I
Blazing through seasons
As time danced in the sky

We lived in the mountains
Under evergreen pines
You held your dreams close
While I fell over mine
We put them together
Tried to push back time

Old gray stars 
They’re not meant to last
They fade with the night
Now part of the past
Old gray stars
Like you and I
Blazing through seasons
As time danced in the sky

Lost in the unknown
Where destinies blend
Caught in the mystery
As time twists and bends

Old gray stars 
They’re not meant to last
They fade with the night
Now part of the past
Old gray stars
Like you and I
Blazing through seasons
As time danced in the sky
Old gray stars

I Knew What It's Like
