Famous - D-Train

In 1987 My New Wife Said To Me... 
"So Many Songs About Girls, But None About Me?"
She Was Wrong, But... 
I Figured 'Ok, I'll Write A Song 
She Actually KNOWS 
Is About Her... 
I Recorded This Track A Few Months Later
My Voice-Cracks At Word Four 
I Purposely Buried Cori Bishop's 
'Cheesy' Sounding '70's Keyboard - On Loan
 But This May Well Be 
The Best-Two-Minutes Of Me
And Yes "I Bless The Days" 
Is A Bit Of An Homage 
To #raydavies And His Best Song "Days"

PLAIN BROWN EYES

A Pair Of Plain Brown Eyes 
Waitin’ To Love You
Plain Brown Eyes 
Biding They’re Time
And I Bless The Days 
And Remember The Nights
I Looked In Those Plain Brown Eyes

There Were Times 
You Could Tell
When They Saw 
Right Through You
Times You Could Tell
They Saw More Than They Should
But I Bless The Days 
And Remember The Nights
I Looked In Those Plain Brown Eyes

And Everyone Saw 
The Light That Was Shining
Was There For The Whole World To See
But Nobody Saw 
The Look That Could Melt You
She Always Saved That One For Me

They Were All 
That I Needed
To Make Me 
Feel Wanted
All That I Needed
To Help Me Feel Right
And I’ll Spend The Days For 
The Rest Of My Life
Just Lookin’ In Plain Brown Eyes

MAINSTREAM, USA '82

I'm going to go back to releasing a new song every month. I wasn't able to upload this last night. But this is my January song. An experimental, emotional piece. Slightly unsynced layers. Gritty background details (this time it was the crystals I was holding clacking in my hands). Shameless Emotion. Just the way I like it.

Grieving (BEAT prod.thomasp)

sunshine on my shoulders

2010 - ADULT 'SWIM' VERSION
It was 2010  
Two years after the first heart attack
I’m a block from my house when Cyndy Garvey
(Steve’s first wife & minor-celeb, herself - late 70s, early 80s)
We were at a 4-Way stop at Crescent Heights & Pickford
A block from my house… I was the first to enter the intersection
And Cyndy (Cynthia) drove her car... from a stop… 
Right into mine on the passenger side  
Cynthia was surprisingly vile & unkind 
as we exchanged info,
which fortunately was not hard for others/cops to see also 
----
When I got home I tried to decompress from the weirdness
That a dark-barbie type celebrity from the past
Had literally driven into my car... out of anger/rage
It seemed like a Garp type moment
And I knew I needed to create something  
So I did this… but when you’re 60 
it gets easier to forget what you did yesterday…
——
This track remains an incredibly fun re-discovery
It had been mislabled in my itunes library for 15 years
But fortunately now at 75 - I'm retired enough to have the time 
to stumble over 'mislabled moments' like this
And occasionally get lucky & go, wow
At times this track reminds me of a mid-70's 'Wings' cut
Or a Harrison Outtake from The White Album
---- 
It definitely contains The Beatles "Magic Chord Change"
In This Case... D - Am 

OH, LET HER GO

SHE LEFT A GUY 
WITH ONE GOOD EYE
COS' SHE WAS IN A HURRY
SHE WASN’T SURE 
OF THE NIGHT BEFORE
HER MEMORY WAS BLURRY
OH, LET HER GO
LET HER SLIP AWAY AND 
NO ONE ELSE WILL KNOW
OH, LET HER GO
A BETTER KIND OF LOVE 
WILL SURELY GROW
IF YOU LET HER GO

SHE CAME HERE 
FROM DUNISMURE 
LIVED AMONG THE RUBBLE
A VICTIM OF 
AN ENDLESS LOVE
OF STARTING SO MUCH TROUBLE
OH, LET HER GO
LET HER SLIP AWAY
AND NO ONE ELSE WILL KNOW
OH, LET HER GO
A BETTER KIND OF LOVE 
WILL SURELY GROW
IF YOU LET HER GO
