Lyrics:

WIND OF THE WINTER
Here blows strong the wind of the winter.
Frozen in my coat I'm walking faster.
The sun is going down, it's getting later.
My breath is cold and I know my bed is
  warmer.

Here blows strong the wind of the winter.
My strenght are so low but I'm still a hunter.
The snow is high here, I can't go on much
  longer.
I feel as an ice-man, I feel to be over...

Oh God of my life, please warm me again.
The new day is far and my efforts are vain.
Oh God, You know me, please warm my soul.
The night is near, I have not to leave.

The moon is rising from the crest of the hill.
My hands are frozen, I lie down, I feel chill.
I close my eyes, could be the end of a hunter?
My breath is cold and my bed is warmer...

Under a soft quilt I feel like a sleeper.
Outside is blowing on the wind of the winter.
I don't know how I'm here, but I feel warmer.
I'm still alive and my heart is going faster.

Oh God of my life, please warm me again.
The new day is far and my efforts are vain.
Oh God, You know me, please warm my soul.
The night is near, I have not to leave.

All these people who claim they were abducted by alien UFO’s
They say they took them up onto the spaceship and examined them from head to toe.
Most people think those stories are made up, but what if they’re actually true
It kind of makes you wonder what motivates those aliens to do the things they do
If I ever get abducted by aliens from outer space, I think I might ask if I could hitch a ride off this crazy place. 
People who believe we couldn’t have built the pyramids without alien assistance
There’s days when I can’t find my car keys without lots of searching and persistence. 
Maybe we’re just 2 legged creatures and the earth’s an exotic alien zoo. 
And they come here on safari to see what we’re up to
If I ever get abducted by aliens from outer space, I think I might ask if I could hitch a ride off this crazy place. 
Even if they don’t consider me to be much better than a trained monkey
I could play my guitar to cheer them up whenever they feel grumpy.
They say the speed of light is as fast as you can possibly go
Maybe those aliens have access to information we don’t know
Maybe they just look at us in the same way scientists study bugs
They read the work of our most brilliant minds and they just shrug
Maybe someday if we start World War three, they’ll stop the missiles from firing
Or maybe they’ll just let us blow ourselves up because they find our behavior so tiring
Maybe someday if they think we’re ready, they’ll land a spaceship in times square
And although they’re usually naked, they’ll put on some underwear
If I ever get abducted by aliens from outer space, I think I might ask if I could hitch a ride off this crazy place. 
Even if they don’t consider me to be much better than a trained monkey
I could play my guitar to cheer them up whenever they feel grumpy.
There's days on earth when it feels like it might be kind of nice to get away
And getting abducted by aliens just might be okay.

If I Ever Get Abducted

Thank you to my lovely Sander for mastering this old song of mine. 😊🎶🎹❤️


Lyrics. 
Once in a while
The stars collide
Once in a while
The waves will rise

I’ll be your diamond in the rough


Once in a blue moon
The heart will sing
Once in a blue moon
My heart will sing

I’ll be your diamond in the rough…

Diamond In The Rough

Whatchu Up To?

Apotropaic

Antiquated Mantras

I always try to make each song unique, and this one is one that has always stood out to me. An upbeat elaborate melody, and I just took a deep breath counted in four and went with it, fighting a stupid stuck key on my 60's Baldwin too lol, but I just kept going! I still love you little stuck key. The joy in all of this...is in those few minutes of a song...I'm gone from it all!

I started writing this song back in 2014-2015 timeframe when I was livin in an old garage apartment in Taylor, TX. Ever met someone where they just made everything in life so easy? I hope you enjoy this live take I did tonight, it was fun! 

The picture is a thowback from 2009 while playing at Fuel Coffee House back home in Llano, Texas.  I miss that ol Kurzweil PC88. 

Thanks for listening!!:) 

Life is Easy

Always those longing eyes
Spark the night like fireflies
Black and white dreams are done
Now we're running in the yellow sun

Ooo I've never met anyone quite like you Ooo Oo
Standing on the edge of a cloud beside you Ooo Oo 
Life is easy with you 
Life is easy with you 
Oh yeah

Nights with you are the best
You really put my past to rest
Morning light loves so fast
I think that this is gonna last

Ooo I've never met anyone quite like you Ooo Oo 
Standing on the edge of a cloud beside you Ooo Oo 
Life is easy with you 
Life is easy with you 
Oh yeah

Instrumental 

Ooo I've never met anyone quite like you Ooo Oo
Standing on the edge of a cloud beside you Ooo Oo 
Life is easy with you 
Life is easy with you 
Oh yeah

Life is easy with you 
Oh yeah

Rejet Pyramidal - Trio version - Video in description

A cold day and a quickie of one of my many favs from the master songwriter Gordon Lightfoot.........cheers for having a listen


Cold On The Shoulder By Gordon Lightfoot

All you need is time All you need is time time time to make it bend
Give it a try don’t be rude put it to the test and I’ll  give it right back to you
It’s cold on the shoulder and you know that we get a little older every day

Take it around take it to town Try to defy what you feel inside You better be stong your love belongs to us 
It’s cold on the shoulder and you know that we get a little older every day

All you need is is trust  All  you need is trust trust trust to make it show
I don’t want to know everything you’ve done if you get a tip then tell it to the eskimos 
It’s cold on the shoulder and you know that we get a little older every day.

All you need is faith All you need is faith faith faith to make it nice
Kick it around don’t be rude if you gonna make a mistake don”t you make it twice 
It’s cold on the shoulder and you know that we get a little older every day.
It’s cold on the shoulder and you know that we get a little older every day.

Cold On The Shoulder (Gordon Lightfoot)

I’ve been writing a lot of heavy, emotional songs lately, so I felt like doing something a little fun (and slightly unhinged). Sometimes you just need to scream into the void about laundry.

A sock. A loss. A breakdown in the spin cycle of life.

This whimsical folk-pop meltdown tells the tragic tale of a missing left sock and the emotional spiral that follows. Part musical theatre, part goblin-core ballad, it’s a soft-shoe soliloquy for the barefoot and emotionally unstable.

🎭 Genre: Theatrical Folk-Pop / Comedy Cabaret
🧺 Themes: Sock grief, dramatic overreaction, unresolved laundry trauma

Left Behind

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. 9 of the songs posted are part an album that is a work in progress hopefully nearing completion. 7 of the songs posted are from a previous project including "In My Lifetime" , “Routine" and “That Dam Song” which were written and sang by my friend Travis Houghton.
