V1
Sun’s smiling on me, yah, I’m heading home
Steps as light as can be; with joy in my bones
V2
Two welcoming arms that pull me in close
All those kisses & hugs call out to my soul

Chorus 
I can’t stay gone too long ‘cause
I’m safe inside
Here I’m at home

V3
The door closes behind, time’s always too short
I’ll remember our songs, every chord, every note
V4
Two welcoming arms don’t wanna let go
They keep calling me back from wherever I go

Chorus
I can’t stay gone too long ‘cause
I’m safe inside
Here I’m at home

Here at home 
Mmmm
I’m at home
Here at home

==================
帰り道 / the way home
==================
そして今日もまた日が暮れる
なだらかな 上り坂の向こう
どこかで見たことのある風景
独りの　帰り道

似たような ため息をつき
似たような 人々を見送り
通し番号のような日々に
章立てを　必要とする

順序よく 居なくなって
順序よく 現れ流離う
ひとたび リズムが狂えば
底のない悲しみに抱かれ

「ご自由に お入りなさい
招待は しませんけれど」
そんな　侮辱に耐えて
ちっぽけな　譲れないもの

そして今日もまた日が暮れる
なだらかな 上り坂の向こう
どこかで見たことのある風景
独りの　帰り道

似たような 足音をたて
似たような カードをかざし
逆算で成立する日々に
秒読みを必要とする

順序よく ドアを叩き
順序よく 逃れ身を隠す
ひとたび リズムが狂えば
たえ間ない憂鬱とあそび

「大切なもの お出しなさい
持っていても しかたないでしょう」
そんな　屈辱をこえて
ずっとずっとずっとずっと先へ

そして今日もまた日が暮れる
なだらかな上り坂の向こう
どこかで見たことのある風景
独りの　帰り道

帰り道 / on the way home

The Hills of Longdendale (Words: Ammon Wrigley, Music: Rutter)

'The Moorland Poet’ Ammon Wrigley (1861-1946) was a writer, historian, singer, song collector and artist from the hills above Saddleworth. Over the past few years I’ve been reading a great deal of his published works and he really does feel like such a proper friend to me -which I reckon is the mark of a truly great writer, especially seeing as that he died nearly eighty years ago. The setting of one of his poems here, from Songs of the Pennine Hills, is my attempt to do justice to his remarkable writings and character.

Lost Inside Our World

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

Sometimes

sometimes sad
sometimes happy
sometimes gray
sometimes blue
sometimes night
sometimes day
sometimes good
sometimes bad

It is the life
That we all live
There's no difference
Between us
The stars to show
The ways of sailing
The ways of flying
The ways of living

Sometimes

88 Accidents

Staring at my phone for too long
I know now that the signals still strong
with the flashing light in my line of sight
I know that somethings wrong
and I've been staring at my phone for too long

ohh maybe baby, I've got just what you need
and all i need from you is a touch of sympathy
she says baby, don't get me started
I told you what love is, and we ain't got none
so leave me alone

I should have known
I was nothin but a fool
yeah I should have known
there was nothin I could do
yeah I should have know
but i'm left here broken hearted
fighting myself as the clock reaches twelve
I know deep inside
I should have known

feeling like I've said too much
her coldness feels like more than just a touch
well in my mind, all these grand designs
have crumbled from the nudge
and i'm feeling like I've said too much

don't worry baby, I've got just what you need
and all I need from you is a touch of sympathy
she says baby, don't get me started
I told you what love is, and we ain't got none
so leave me alone

I should have known
I was nothin but a fool
yeah i should have known
there was nothin i could do
I should have know
but i'm left here broken hearted
fighting myself as the clock reaches twelve
I don't like to lose
next time i'll know

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.
