Some really nice slow, swinging Blues. What a nice listen!

A most enjoyable production with fine instrumental and vocal performances.

Momma’s in the kitchen
Daddy’s tending to his shine
And, girl, my heart is itching
Still wondering if you’ll be mine

All the things you say
Make me think you want me too
I asked you home to stay
Now you’re acting so aloof
Momma thinks you love me
But it could go either way
Daddy says it’s what they call
A jump ball

Grandma’s on the front porch
Sipping on a glass of tea
She say’s I’m carrying a hot torch
And, honey, it’s so plain to see

Love will come in time
Or love won’t come at all
It’s a hill you gotta climb
And either way you gonna fall
But, son, she says you never know
Love can be sublime
If it’s meant to be at all
It’s a jump ball

Come into my arms girl
Let me feel you close to me
Be my lucky charm girl
And let love be our destiny

Love me inside out
Baby, make my dreams come true
Let there be no doubt
That you love me through and through
But baby please don’t tell me
That you’re not sure if you do
That our love’s really after all
Just a jump ball

Jump Ball

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

Old Gray Stars

I Got Two

NEVER GONNA GET A LIFE 

 
V1 

 
Live with me mum 
And she’s alright 
Stay in the bath 
And drink Bud Light 
Can’t find a job 
Never wanted one 
But I’m not sorry 
Cause I love me mum 
How can they say how can they know 
What I am thinking 
Even I don’t know 

 
CH 

Don‘t touch me now 
I’ll be all right  
Don ‘t need a boyfriend 
Don’t need a wife 
in my pajamas 
I feel at home 
I like myself the best 
When I’m alone 
And I’m all right 
I’m all right 
I’m never gonna get a life 
never gonna get a life 
Like everybody else does 

 
V2 
 

I see the world 
How people live 
Living lives that are criminally bogus 
and they're out of touch 
and they're out to lunch 
Do you think somehow that I wouldn’t notice 
How can they say 
How can they know 
How much I hate this 
Cause even I don't know 


CH 

Don ‘t touch me now 
I’ll be all right  
Don‘t need a boyfriend 
Don’t need a wife 
in my pajamas 
I feel at home 
I like myself the best 
When I’m alone 
And I’m all right 
I’m all right 
I’m never gonna get a life 
never gonna get a life 
Like everybody else does

NEVER GONNA GET A LIFE

A song about losing your way while navigating through a teetering relationship.
       Dave Bell of Blue Attitude played guitar, and I added bass and vocal.

You're Driving Me Out Of Your Mind

I’m falling asleep
Trying to keep
My tired eyes from closing
You’re out of reach
I’m in the dark
I’m waiting to see
If you will be
Here and home beside me
But I’ve got a deep suspicion
You won’t be for all my wishing
So I’m thinking now that
Something’s got to change

You’re making it hard
To keep loving you
When I still do

It might be an act
I think I
Read a book about it
A way to attract
Keep it distant and cool
It may be just that
Or maybe your heart
Is really drifting
Or maybe it’s indecision
But whatever it is or isn’t
I’m thinking now that
Something’s got to change

Should be no surprise
How I’ve been wondering lately
If you even know
What you’re thinking of
If you even really want my love
Hey, it’s time
Say your mine
Or let me go

And maybe I’m quite mistaken
But baby my faith is shaken

Hard To Keep Loving You

Bluebell Hill


it snowed and snowed and snowed
she melted frost flowers
on the tip of her nose
sang to the pale shy sun
turn sleighbells to bluebells
make sliding streams run

ooh Katie`s climbing
her secret rhyming
on the wind to spill
angels bend to bless
a skylark brooch
on a wildflower dress
ooh Katie`s climbing
Bluebell Hill

Forever Young the bus comes along
laughing round corners
we sing Katie`s song
boys and girls come out to play
we`re old as the moon
as bright as day


ooh Katie`s climbing
her secret rhyming
on the wind to spill
angels bend to bless
a skylark brooch
on a wildflower dress
ooh Katie`s climbing
Bluebell Hill

ooh Katie`s climbing
ooh Katie`s rhyming
ooh Katie`s shining
on Bluebell Hill

Bluebell Hill

Written in 1976 and recorded in 2023...

She talks in code
Likes Thunder Road
But she doesn’t look my way
And it’s just another day

But I play my songs when she’s in the room
Yeah I can’t seem to shake that radio loose
And who am I to her? 
I’m not Bruce

Her dress doesn’t sway
Like Mary’s they say
But she’s everything to me
And that’s alright with me

But I play my songs when she’s in the room
Yeah I can’t seem to shake that radio loose
And who am I to her? 
I’m not Bruce

She likes to walk
Past my front porch
But maybe love ain’t for free
And I know that he would agree

But I play my songs when she’s in the room
Yeah I can’t seem to shake that radio loose
And who am I to her? 
I’m not Bruce

And who am I to her? 
I’m not Bruce
Yeah who am I to her? 
I’m not Bruce
Oh who am I to her? 
I’m not Bruce

I'm Not Bruce

I had some time yesterday to try my new Swam VSTis, the Solo Strings. This quickly composed song, about 3 hours, uses the solo violin. You can let me know if it sounds realistic or not. Thanx.

I am playing the VSTi via my keyboard controller while Band-in-a-Box is supplying the balance of the tracks.

LYRICS
-------
[INTRO]
Hey, you in the mirror! Come on and...

[A1]
Rise and shine
There’s a new day beginning
Rise and shine
Get out and get sprinting
There’s no time to waste
So rev-up some haste
Just pump up your bravado and ready, set, go!

[A2]
Oh, rise and shine
The world is not waiting
Rise and shine
Be bold and embrace it
Unlock your potential
And become presidential 
Come on! Rise and shine

[B]
Don’t worry if you feel a bit crumpled and broken
And the future looks bleak because the present is woeful
Once you get moving
You get things improving and then, hey presto!
It’s go, go, go

[A3]
So rise and shine
And keep fearlessly striving
Rise and shine
And dazzle like lightning
Get out there and play, now
It’s a thrilling new day, now
Come on! Rise and shine

[SOLO]

Repeat [B], [A3]

[TAG]
Yeah, get out there and play
It’s a thrilling new day
So rise, rise, rise and shine

Rise And Shine

As the grandfather clock ticks off the minutes you fall into a peaceful sleep while you are watching the news on your TV.

Actually I made some adjustments to the Swam Violin sounds and I would like your opinion on if they sound more realistic.

I am playing the Swam violin via my keyboard controller while Band-in-a-Box supplies the backing tracks.
