I was getting a few songs with jangly guitars ready for some pitching and this was one I thought fit.

Rising, falling, kettle calling, what was on your mind.
Loving, hating, endless waiting, just what will go down.
 
Who did we see?
What did we do?
Where did we go?
When we had it right.

Laughing, crying, crucifying, how dark will this get?
Screaming quiet, echoes linger, silent shadows sit.

Who did we see?
What did we do?
Where did we go?
When we had it right.

Slipping, falling, are we stalling,
through this one more time?
Bitter beating, what's becoming,
of this heart of mine?

Who did we see?
What did we do?
Where did we go?
When we had it right.

When we had it right.
When we had it right.

When We Had It Right

verse 1
The grinding stone, does more than you could know,
it don't shape with, no jagged edge.
So smooth and fine, like velvet all the time,
that mold is continuous.

chorus
You never know, where life's gonna take ya.
You could find yourself alone.
It always feels like I'm........ back on the grinding stone.

verse 2
The game of life, just messes with your mind,
never giving you a break.
It grinds you down, tryin' to turn it all around.
But soon you learn, you can't cheat fate.

chorus
You never know, where life's gonna take ya.
You could find yourself alone
it always feels like I'm........ back on the grinding stone.

SOLO verse

chorus
You never know, where life's gonna take ya.
You could find yourself alone..... so alone!
It always feels like I'm....... back on the grinding stone.

Back on the grinding stone.

The Grinding Stone (collaboration with Bob Lograsso and Bob Porri)

Afraid of Night



The party's over ending...
the night's sins.
I feel much older when,
daybreak comes.

Will it be over soon,
this icy dream?

Going on forever, 
no change of scene.

Why does this have to end,
making me....

Afraid of Night / Why am I so?
Afraid of Night / Where will I go?
Afraid of Night / There's no way out!
Afraid of Night

Will it be over soon,
this icy dream?

My spirit feels so low,
until blood streams.

When the stars burn dim I'm locked in,
a bad dream.

Why does this have to end,
making me....

Afraid of Night / Why am I so?
Afraid of Night / Where will I go?
Afraid of Night / There's no way out!
Afraid of Night

Even if this is fairy tale
Watch us ride this moment forever
The magic is in our hearts
Beating all around, can you hear it now

Chorus: 
As great as we are
There's still more to come, holding on 
Over untouched mountains, endless sky
We are weaving with no end
We are the needle and thread

Sometimes we're hanging on a single breath
Taking chances as they come together
I feel it when the clouds roll down
I got everything I need in you, let it rain
And fall to the ground, can you hear it now

CHORUS

My heart is aching for you
Can't get you out of my head baby
Overflowing with love for you
Nothing matters anymore

I didn't see you were gone
I was too wrapped up in pleasin’ you baby
Then I couldn’t find you beside me
Nothing matters anymore
(It just don’t matter)

My body misses you so bad 
I ache all over from lovin’ you baby
Don't know why you left me
Nothing matters anymore

My heart is aching for you baby
Can't get you out of my head
I’m so lonely and so blue
Nothing matters anymore

I don’t know why we’re through
Nothing matters anymore

These Walls I feel them closing in
As I wonder where you've been
Every shiver every tremble
Breaking down this fragile temple

Every wall around me leaning
My heart beats without meaning
I hear the words you weave
The words I wish I could believe

These hallowed walls
are clinging to the hope
that you will stay
Protect me now

I hold a compass in my hand,
As I leave these walls
I'll never know, if you're on the other side.
Please be on the other side
Please be my hope
You are my only hope

These Hallowed Walls

The world's not very kind,
but memories fade with time.
When the gray finally falls away,
too often darkness takes it's place.

Everything's coming true,
Everything fade to blue.

Going home to find my mind,
I lose it all the time.
When the truth is made of lies,
I just can't hear for all the cries.

Everything's coming true,
Everything fade to blue.

Well, the picture's not clear no more,
my life was an open book, now I've closed the door.
I can't see with the light off or on,
like a photo left in the sun.

Everything's coming true,
Everything fade to blue.

The world's not very kind,
but memories fade with time.
When the gray finally falls away,
too often darkness takes it's place.

Everything's coming true,
Everything fade to blue.

Everything's coming true,
Everything fade to blue.

The world ain't no coloring book.
If you stay inside the lines it will always define you.
Pretty little pictures will do you no good
if all that you been dreamin' is across the line.

You got to break yourself out,
you got to feel the doubt,
you got to stop holding out, now.

The world ain't no coloring book.
So break your little crayon and stop selling out.

Walking through the fire
Feel like I'm on the sun
Or am I in hell
Would make more sense
Cause I'm wild one

Don't need no healing 
Can't turn this thing around
I got a feeling
It's about to go down

CHORUS:
Oh whoaoh
Oh whoaoh
Oh whoaoh
Devil walk with me
Oh whoaoh
Oh whoaoh
Oh whoaoh
Devil walk with me
 
Time's flying by
And I've got nothing to show
But the scars I laid
All over my bones
Don't need no healing 
Still got a feeling

It's Time

Time, It’s time
Time we’re movin’ on down the line
Gone, long gone
Past the things we did and haven’t done
Every choice we hand select
Here we are with no regret
Now it’s time to push ahead
Ahead

Everything that’s ever done
Morning to the setting sun
Opens doors so we can run
We can run

More, much more
Finding hidden treasure in the core
Caught up in
Waiting for the change that will begin

Everything that’s ever done
Morning to the setting sun
Opens doors so we can run
We can run/Running on

We can run
We can run away
We can run
It’s time

When I Found You

by Jennifer Foss and Bob Porri

Stars outweigh what once was darkness
Taking in moments like this

I came to when I found you 
All feels right next to you    
No one else will ever do
No one else will do 

A stunning view all around us
Carved in stone a tranquil vastness 

I came to when I found you 
All feels right next to you    
No one else will ever do
No one else will do 

You have calmed my anxious heart
You have unraveled me from the start 

As love cascades all fear removed
Time stands still all thoughts consumed
 
I came to when I found you 
All feels right next to you    
No one else will ever do
No one else will do

Verse
We're constellations of stars
Fireflies fading in jars
Holding on to the spark
Fighting against the dark

Verse
We're standing on the edge
The warnings have been read
We've got to pull this thread
Rejecting what we've been spoon fed 

Chorus
We're one note of a never-ending song
A chorus of hearts beating strong 
This life it strings us along
(you gotta) Sing loud (un)til the music's gone 

Verse
We're the beats of a wild heart
They're afraid we'll take it too far
Here the lies are broken and scarred
We stand and fight as your guard

Chorus
We're one note of a never-ending song
A chorus of hearts beating strong 
This life it strings us along
(you gotta) Sing loud (un)til the music's gone

This was a "rush write" Jen and I did for a listing looking for "sweet singer-songwriter songs" for advertising use.

Verse 1
When I opened up the first page of our story 
I found the sweetest phrase in your smile
We're binding two stories to make them one 

Chorus
We're the book I want to read over and over again
You're the beginning, middle and the end of my love story

Verse 2
Let's cozy up, settle in, start this next chapter
The lovliest refrain is your spontaneous laughter
I'll be cliche and say you're my happily ever after

Chorus
We're the book I want to read over and over again
You're the beginning, middle and the end of my love story

Verse 3
Cover to cover there is no other
Line by line you've got me intertwined
From my point of view there's nothing we can't do

Chorus
We're the book I want to read over and over again
You're the beginning, middle and the end, oh 
We're the book I want to read over and over again
You're the beginning, middle and the end of my love story

Count to ten then seek and find
Treasures that were left behind
Hidden under and inside
Wonders that we haven’t tried
Open up your eyes

Climbing up and out of here
Marching on we pioneer
Break into a new frontier
Muscles grow fear disappears
Here’s the race of our lives

Chorus
We will win We will win
We will win in the end
We will win We will win Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

V3
At the top we stand (here) at the edge
Hope and pain we won’t forget
Heaven knows the lives we’ve led
Crown of jewels upon our heads
Time moves on with the wise

I was playing,
wandered on for years.
High clouds fading,
Burned away by tears.

Laying on the beds we made,
one foot in the grave.
Living on the mantel,
or, spread upon the waves

How'd you ever find me,
one who's never saved.
Maybe I will yell for you,
at the end of days.

Laying on the beds we made,
one foot in the grave.
Living on the mantel,
or, spread upon the waves

You only live once and every action
Has a flavor, a taste, a satisfaction
Grab your boots and your hat and meet me out front
We gotta get started on tonight’s fun

You and me, let’s go, start this engine
All the horses inside are tired of waitin’
Rev ‘em up, let ‘em loose with speed devotion
The world’s in slow motion

Times like these
We’re livin’ as fast as we please
Not turning around or slowing down
Memories are made
We can’t let ‘em fade
In times like these

You can’t stop us now because it’s too late
The green flag waved, we accelerate
Out in the front we keep on leadin’
No tellin’ the stories we’re preceding

We’re livin’ as fast as we please

Silence
It calls to me
Deliverance
I wanna break free
I’ve been in slumber way too long
Yeah I’ve been singing the same old song
Listen to me
I wanna break free

Oh oh oh oh
She’s coming on like a thunderstorm
Oh oh oh Ooh 
One two three four

All of this night has been a race against time
And I never really had a girl to call mine
I can’t believe what you’re about to show
Singin’ nanana it’s time to go
Now I can hear that beating
It’s a brand new start
Oh baby you can melt my frozen heart

Wild fire
She turns the key
Takes me higher
To set me free
She woke me up to light the flame
Can barely breathe when she calls my name
She came to me
To set me free

Oh oh oh oh
She’s coming on like a thunderstorm
Oh oh oh Ooh 
One two three four

All of this night has been a race against time
And I never really had a girl to call mine
I can’t believe what you’re about to show
Singin’ nanana it’s time to go
Now I can hear that beating
It’s a brand new start
Oh baby you can melt my frozen heart

Baby you can melt my frozen heart

She called to me

The Fire

The fire in our eyes,
took us by surprise,
thought we were wise,
didn’t realize.

Love fed the fire,
companioned by desire,
nights never tired,
charmed by the choir.

We were waiting.
Separating.
Cooling takes me.

Time told us lies,
said our tears would dry,
despite our disguise,
couldn’t hide the cries.

We were waiting.
Separating.
cooling takes me.

I will go and you will follow
Endlessly we'll walk through shadows
Here in this space in between
 
Hearts won't mend, but I won't shatter
Firm in hand the hope everafter
Here in this space in between

Chorus
I'll always choose you
The stories not yet written in view

Come what may I'll take it on
No rock unturned or path untraveled
Here in this place unseen

Don't hold back I want it all
Blood and sweat, the tears that fall
Here in this place unseen

Come on heart, this is what you've waited for
So breathe in deep
The new found air

In My Life
Written and Performed by Jennifer Foss and Bob Porri

In My Life 

I’ve given you reason enough to go
I thought I heard the closing benediction
What I expected to turn cold was now a glow
You gave my doubt no recognition

In my life, I have found, you’re always there, you're always there for me.
In my life, I have found, you’re always there, you're always there for me.
In my life, I have found, you’re always there for me, you're always there for me.

I’ve danced the line between trust and doubt 
How many times have you reminded me eternity doesn't fade with time 
You never changed your heart from where we started out 
I'm starting to see the embers of truth align

In my life, I have found, you’re always there, you're always there for me.
In my life, I have found, you’re always there, you're always there for me.
In my life, I have found, you’re always there, you're always there for me.
For, for me.

I’ll let the light shine on through
Cause it won’t back down, it won't back down
I’ll let the light shine on through
Cause it won’t, it won't back down, it won't back down
It won't back down.

Shine, Shine on

V1 
Broken inside, crushed by the lies
I walk through the fire refined in the ashes
Open new eyes for the first time
The road cries out, requires the fight demanding

Here I decide, old pushed aside
No price too high, revived, given chances
Two worlds collide, see the divide
The dark and the light, I survive, the last one standing

C 
Victory, Victory, it’s here before me
Victory, Victory, it’s in my hand
Victory, Victory, bled at my feet now
Victory, Victory, here in my hand

V2
Weight in my soul, truth to unfold
It can’t be controlled, explodes, the clock is gaining
Run through the door, fire in my core
I’ve been reborn to win and can’t contain it

Victory, Victory, it lies before me
Victory, Victory, it’s in my hand
Victory, Victory, bled at my feet now
Victory, Victory, here in my hand

Words lift the knife, cut with a price
I know I’m alive, this drive, it’s complicated

Victory, Victory, it’s in my hand
Victory, Victory, bled at my feet now
Victory, Victory, here in my hand

Don't turn away

if your walls are too high and you can't walk away
You've paid enough in pain
Come with me

Grab some paper, make my list
Sort out what defines me
Read it back and know what’s missing
Shedding skin I’m free
Walking out I see the light and 
It shows me where to go
Taste the water, drink a new life in
Now I’m almost home

Chorus
Dear life, the time has come to start all over
Dear life, the time is right to start again
Don’t look back, I got no worries

V2
Shining bright and out of gray
I wander on to someplace
Have a seat and look around me
Memorize each face
Walkin' on I meet some people
They see me as I am
Take a breath and breathe a new life in
This is where I’ll land

Chorus
Dear life, the time has come to start all over

Too Late

I’m a white wall
I’m a blank slate
Got no fears
No love, No hate
I need a good book
And a warm cup
Got not regrets 
Got nothing but luck

Cause It’s too late for this
Yah it’s a little too late for this

Too late to stop the dying 
Too late to dream what might be
Too late to hope for something more than we’ve seen
Too late to hold for probably
Too late to start the cryin'
Too late to wish for all the things we used to be
But it’s not too late for me

I’m crawling up 
I’m climbing out
Time to move
No time to doubt
I’m kicking up 
Dust beneath my boots
Shake it off
That’s what I do

Too late to stop the dying 
Too late to dream what might be
Too late to hope for something more than we’ve seen
Too late to hold for probably
Too late to start the cryin'
Too late to wish for all the things we used to be
But it’s not too late for me

Too late to start the crying
Too late to dream what might be
Too late to hope for something more than what we’d be

Too late to stop the dying 
Too late to dream what might be
Too late to hope for something more than we’ve seen
Too late to hold for probably
Too late to start the cryin'
Too late to wish for all the things we used to be
But it’s not too late
No, it’s not too late
For me

Too Late (with Michelle Leverette)

We originally did this song in 2016 in draft form. We have just done some rerecording and remixing and consider it finished now.

Verse 1
We said I do to it all
We're in it for the long haul
Uncertainty was braved cause
Our story's handmade

Chorus
Love changed and rearranged us
We hold on because we trust
It's you and me and these vows
Life is perfectly imperfect now

Verse 2
Two became more
Our love became a quiet roar
It's found in subtle glances
We feel like hidden romantic

Chorus

Bridge
Don't get lost in the sound
These floors are holy ground
Promise you'll steal me away
That you won't let this fray

Chorus

Perfectly Imperfect (with Jennifer Foss)

Can't Wait

I can't wait another day and don't recall
why I've been here breaking down behind these walls

Tranquilized again to greet another fall
spreading breath around surrounded by you all

Hesitating
Recreating

something that is better than the day before

Celebrating
Agitating

walkabout to find some answers to it all

welcome to this endless game

Can't Wait

Lost Inside Our World

Instruments and Vocals - Bob Porri

Walking to the edge to find if there’s something to see
Reaching out to touch, what it is or what it could be.

We had to be
lost inside our world
we had to be
changing forever

Turning pages never knowing if it’s fantasy
sitting back letting life happen, while we wait for me.

We had to be
lost inside our world
we had to be
changing forever

We had to be
lost inside our world
we had to be
changing forever

We had to be
lost inside our world (nothing goes as planned)
we had to be
changing forever

Lost Inside Our World

Turn Around

Doesn't seem too long ago
getting home late and I froze.
Sat down on the front porch steps,
feeling lost and alone.

I had the future on my mind,
and some decisions to make.
I could get back in my car,
but that felt like a mistake.

Didn't want to say goodbye,
letting out a little sigh,
head shook then lifted to the sky.

Turn around just turn around,
staying can be moving forward.
Turn around just turn around,
we had something to move towards.

There've been years of some rough times,
got to another crossroads.
Now it was you standing on the line,
wondering which path to follow.

Didn't want to say goodbye,
letting out a little sigh,
head shook then lifted to the sky.

Turn around just turn around,
staying can be moving forward.
Turn around just turn around,
we have something to move towards.

Don't want you to say goodbye,
letting out a little sigh,
head shook then lifted to the sky.

Turn around just turn around,
staying can be moving forward.
Turn around just turn around,
we have something to move towards.

Turn around just turn around

Turn around just turn around

Turn Around

Thanks for all of the recent follows, comments, likes and reposts. I am doing my best to check out your music also, comment, like, follow and repost in many cases. I like artists being creative in any way they can, so forgive my wide range of reposts. 

I grew up on 60's and 70's Rock, Pop, Classic Rock, Psychedelic and Fusion Music. A number of Rock and original Rock bands followed. I also played regular gigs as part of a duo with a flute player (one of my best for life friends, Ed). Of course, we did a bunch of Tull songs as well as Classic Rock and originals with the duo and in our bands.

Before and during my college Music Education, I had taken up Classical Guitar. That was during the day. At night I was playing in a Disco Band. In later years, I reunited with Ed, and formed a Tull tribute band. A number of years later, I was playing Pedal Steel Guitar and guitar in an all original band (Thunderegg) that had a number of nice gigs in Connecticut and New York City.

Over the past 10-15 years, I've been focusing on writing and recording original music. Due to my background, I am spread over quite a few genres and many times that is driven by a collaborator.  I have been collaborating with a lot of great people. I'm one of 3 Bobs who formed an internet band called 3bobrock. We tend to pull from a Pink Floyd sound and other sources for our original music.  My most recent regular collaborations are with Jennifer Foss, a wonderful singer of many styles who also has a lot of great ideas as a cowriter. Several of our recent songs are favorites on our Soundcloud pages. Jen and I continue to work together and are looking forward to writing and recording much more together. We go by the band name Blue Scorpion.

I've also done a good deal of co-writing and recording with Michelle Davis Leverette over the last several years. We are hitting the Blues Rock genre quite a bit. Michelle is another great vocalist and writer who is great to work with. We go by the band name Quarter Turn.

I have a number of tracks with Briand Melonson (Bamtone). Yes, another great writer and vocalist. We tend to aim at Alternative Rock and some Americana.

Other artists I've enjoyed co-writing and recording with the last several years are Amanda West, Ethan Freckleton, Marcus Mittila, Steven Guiles, Bill Perry, Louise Goldberg, Michelle Murray, Halley Ewell, JenaVieve Reed, Mladen Domic and Belinda Coomes. I apologize because I'm sure I've forgotten to mention a few others

I am also always working on creating music for possible film, tv and advertising use. Therefore, among the tracks you find on my pages will be some shorter instrumental cues. My "New Tracks" Album page is where I put new favorites.

Some of my tracks are available for purchase and download. You are always welcome to stream and listen for free here.

Finally, my website, bobporrimusic.com., may be of interest to you. I'm a full time musician, songwriter, and guitar instructor. There is a good deal of free material (video guitar instruction, scales, chords, jam tracks etc.) on my website. I appreciate any interest, comments, emails etc.  I am also am a Guitar Coach for the Guitar Tricks website with a number of online "classes" each week.
