Lyrics - David Cooper

Take me back where I came from
Take me back, back home
Oh take me back where I came from
I don’t wanna be alone

You are my one and only
My little country  girl
You are my one and only
Oh you’re my life, you’re my world

Chorus

You don’t realise girl
How much I love you so
You never realised deep down
I’ll never let you go

Solo

Chorus

Take me back where I came from
You lift me up when I’m down
Oh take me back where I came from
And always be around

Take me back where I came from
Take me back, back home

Love you so (Cooper/Granthem Collaboration)

An upbeat pop song which features a brass section and some cool acoustic guitar playing from Saul B. To me, it’s ended up with a retro 70’s feel even though I used a whole heap of synths to add some extra interest. I hope the arrangement works and I really hope you enjoy listening!

Steppin' On Out

This is a bit of a spiritual sequel to me and Stephen's last track "Got A Light?" since it continues in a similar direction mood-wise. Once again I'm adding a little guitar into the mix. My parts are the very simple straightforward guitar picking and Stephen is doing all the complex shredding haha. I also produced the beat and electronic elements.

V1
Before we know it
The enemy is at our door
Silently infiltrating like a cancer
Allowing ourselves weak
We become ripe for the takeover
While some are prepared
Most are not
Either ignorant to the threat
Or simply lazy in the Gospel
A Woke generation fast asleep
Not able to discern right, from almost right
Tag
Open your eyes
Open your eyes
Chorus
Time of grace ending
Ark door slowly closing
Of two masters
Choose whom you will serve
V2
Earthly Kings of dust 
Boasting their name
Sitting on thrones of ash
The foolish reign
Lull the masses
Just like sheep
They mock the coming fire
Tag
Open your eyes
Open your eyes
Chorus
Time of grace ending
Ark door slowly closing
Of two masters
Choose whom you will serve 
Bridge
 Revelation 20:12
And I saw the dead, the great and the small, 
standing before the throne, and books were opened.
And another book was opened, which is the book of life, 
And the dead were judged out of the things which were written in the book
According to their works- 
Chorus
Time of grace ending
Ark door slowly closing
Of two masters
Choose whom you will serve

Open Your Eyes

Have you ever had a good night's sleep disturbed by a persistent mosquito? If so you'll know how frustrating it can be.
With thanks to the author Verna Aardema (writer of the book 'Why Mosquitoes Buzz in People's Ears') for the inspiration.

Mosquitoes

Is there a heaven? (Rehearsal)

YOU TOOK THE LOAD OFF OF ME
AND… SOMEHOW SET ME FREE, 
BELIEVE ME

THERE WAS SO MUCH I COULDN’T SEE, ANYMORE
I’D FORGOTTEN IT ALL… 
YOU SAW ME FALL

ROUND & ROUND & ROUND WE GO 
WE HIT A WALL AND COME TO A STALL
AND OUR FLIGHT IS DELAYED, 
MAYBE FOREVER DELAYED 

ANYWHERE YOU GO, I’LL BE THERE
WAITING… JUST DON’T DISAPPEAR                
HOWEVER MUCH IT RAINS 
I’LL GET RID OF THE STAINS
AND I’LL BE THERE, 
FOR YOU I’LL BE THERE
YOU TOOK THE LOAD OFF OF ME 
AND I FEEL FREE

El Pianista

Blender and Chirp is my current indie project.  I'm here to just try to improve and to listen to what other independent musicians create. "In My Lifetime" , “Routine" and “That Dam Song” were written and sang by my friend Travis Houghton.  Those along with a few of my songs are from our band called "Quite the Softie".
