lovely composition and wicked guitar playing

glad I found you on SC.. this is outstanding..songwriting , vocals , arrangement..topp!

Loved your bio and totally agree! What would be the point! This song is awesome, powerful beautiful voice and great lyrics!🙌🏻

Fantastic song. Great performances and production.

Similar to R I.P.  A bit of fun with a Dylanesque type blues.

A Little While

(Updated on 10/14/24) This song is one of my first real featured-artist collaborations for me as a producer. My talented and wonderful daughter sang the lead vocal and helped me co-write the melody to better fit her performance style. As a producer, I like to include the vocalist's input to better serve the performance.  

We released this version of the song without any promotion.

Lyrics:
I want to live
I want to love
I want to reach for all 
That I’ve been dreaming of

I want to sing
I want dance
And lift my life above 
The sorrows of the past

What are the reasons that we live 
If not for joy
If we can make it 
Through the darkest hours
We’ve made it through the storm
But when the morning comes 
And there is light
In just a moment
It could be gone

All we have 
Is here and now
The only chance 
To make it count
I want to make 
My life count here with you
The strength that lives 
Inside my dreams
Is knowing you’ll 
Be there for me
And I am not alone
You’ll always be my home
My home

You are my love
You are my life
And I’d give anything 
Just to keep you at my side

All we have 
Is here and now
The only chance 
To make it count
I want to make 
My life count here with you
Maybe all 
The strength I'll need
Is knowing you’ll 
Be there for me

And I am not alone
I know I’m not alone
I know I’m not alone
I know I’m not alone
Where ever you are 
That will always be
My home
My home

All we have 
Is here and now
So short a time 
To make it count
I’m going to make 
My life count here with you
The best that I will ever be
Is all ‘cause you’ll be there for me
And I am not alone
You’ll always be my home
My home
You’ll always be 
My home

My Home

My Home ft. Lindsey Kay Scott

A HUGE amount of gratitude for all the support, re-posts, likes, and comments.
This means the world to me. 
Another track from my album coming soon.

Lyrics:
Here I am again
Heart in hand my friend
And don’t how it got this bad
And I don’t know when 
I’ll ever understand
Maybe never 
Maybe now I’ll see myself
And all that I’ve become

Is it me out there
Seeming not to care
I’ll go on with my life
But the fairy tale,
It lets me down every time
Right before my eyes,  
He keeps me warm, 
A kiss upon my cheek
He gives me love,  
He gives me honesty,  yeah

I flow with you,  
And you flow with me
We make our wars
But we make our peace
Let me flow with you,  
And you’ll flow with me
We know there’s love
Even when it’s hard to feel
But it’s so hard to feel  
so hard to feel

He gives me love 
And a kiss upon my cheek

And I flow with you 
And you flow with me
We make our wars
But we'll make our peace
Yeah I flow with you  
And you can flow with me
We know there’s love
Even when it’s hard to feel
We still believe, oh yeah

He gives me love  
he gives me honesty
He gives me love,  
He gives me everything, yes he does
He keeps me warm

Lyrics:
How can I trust you 
When you're hiding in the dark
How can I love you 
When you shoot me in the heart
Bury the child 
Who was in the line of fire
Don't want to be numb
I want to feel love

How can I break through 
When you'd never let me in
How can I need you 
When you don't give anything
What's there to live for 
When there's too much not to feel
Don't want to be numb
I want to feel love

No wrong no right
Just a TV screen
Learn black and white
From a magazine
Confusing life much faster
Turn love to stone

How can you hear me
Over din of lead
How can you see me
Through all the blood I've shed
Am I to blame yeah,  
For every life you take
Don't want to be numb
I want to feel love

(No wrong or right)  
No wrong or right 
(Just black and white) 
(From a magazine)
Just black and white
Yeah yeah yeah
Confusing life much faster
Turn love to stone

No wrong no right
A stain of life
No truth inside this darkness
Nothing but stone
I want to feel love
I want to feel love
I want to feel love
I want to feel love!
Only love

Want To Feel Love

01/17/2025 There was a time I thought my little songs could actually "change the world"; that perhaps music could make us all more kind, compassionate, tolerant, empathic, less violent, less greedy, or at a minimum, happier. 

I have always hoped we could navigate our differences with words rather than weapons and that humanity could as a whole, truly practice reverence for the planet and all the living creatures who share it with us. 

But, I see now how absolutely naive I was. The despair, suffering, destruction, and apathy that continues now, many years after I wrote this song, has not changed. Some things, are better but many things, are not; however, I remain hopeful that humanity will eventually work things out and I, in any way that I can, will keep trying to make things better. And so I decided, I would finish producing this song and include it in my first album; an album which on many days might be the continuation of a journey, or on other days, the end of a journey.

Track 5 from my album. I hope you enjoy it.

I should be happy  
With all of my life
I should be satisfied 
But I’m not
Why do I carry 
The weight of the world on my back
Why should I care
When no one else does

I am a slave 
To the thoughts that I have
I need to change the world
With these tired hands 
Don’t turn me off 
Don’t turn me down
Don’t shut me in 
Don’t throw me out
And I might go crazy
But you might come around
       
At the back door 
You will find me
And I might never leave
At the back door 
You will find me
These tired hands are bleeding
 
Should I worry
If it all goes to hell
Can I live my life in apathy
Like everybody else
Why am I here 
What can I change
These reckless times  
I’m not to blame
Isn’t anybody out there
Isn’t anyone afraid

At the back door 
You will find me
And I might never leave
At the back door 
You will find me
Begging on my knees
At the back door 
You will find me
These tired hands are bleeding

I’m your disease
I’m  your despair
I’m like a flea
I’m in your hair
I’m breeding in your conscience
When you don’t want me there

At the back door 
You will find me
And I might never leave
At the back door 
You will find me
Begging on my knees
At the back door 
You will find me
A wounded heart grieves
At the back door 
You will find me yeah yeah yeah

At the back door 
You will find me
And I might never leave
At the back door 
You will find me
Cause I'm begging on my knees
At the back door 
You will find me
A wounded heart grieves
At the back door 
You will find me
These tired hands are reaching

This song was arranged for my son in 2015. The key was changed for him several times. He had made at least 5 versions but he never liked his recordings. A few weeks ago I stumbled upon the full project. He told me to sing it...

Having grown up with the songs of Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye and other soul greats, and more recently been impressed by the songwriting of artists like Tom Misch and Mac Ayers, I’ve wanted for a while to add an R&B feel to a some of my tracks. 
I’ve tried a few times over the years, and found that blending a strong groove with my usual acoustic, singer-songwriter type stuff didn’t really work. 
I still wanted the songs to sound like my songs :)
This is the first time I’ve finished a track, in that style, that I’m confident enough to put out there. 
Hope you like it :)

Lyrics:
Needed time to think it over
Get my head straight
Diving overboard           
Maybe Its too late                                                
Make same mistakes 
Its time to move on
But something else is pulling me 
To this old town
 
Its You
I’ve got a feeling that’s its 
You
You’ve got me, I’ve got you 
Its True
End of the journey found us
Somewhere out there
In this underworld 
of two

Someone told me once
To love is to feel free 
Coming home is back to reality
You said it all
The first time
Catching up on feelings 
Harder to define

Its You
I’ve got a feeling that’s its 
You
You’ve got me, I’ve got you 
Its True
End of the journey found us
Somewhere out there
In this underworld 
of two
  
So many years
I tried for it to make sense
Saw our love 
But only in the past tense
Years are slipping
Losing all our nine lives 
Only one thing to decide
  
Its You
I’ve got a feeling that’s its 
You
You’ve got me, I’ve got you 
Its True
End of the journey found us
Somewhere out there
In this old underworld 
of two

Its You
I’ve got a feeling that’s its 
You
You’ve got me, I’ve got you 
Its True
End of the story found us
Right here, right now
In this underworld 
of two

From Your Eyes feat. Frank Zozky & Paploviante

The original version: https://soundcloud.com/axioms-of-mediocrity/side-by-side

In the space where ideas blend and flow
We find our rhythm, a gentle glow
Your thoughts intertwine with mine
Creating patterns, intricate and fine

In every glance and every word
Our connection, quietly stirred

The spark that ignites my mind
A dance of intellect, uniquely aligned
Together we explore, side by side
In the landscape of thought, where we confide

Conversations, like a flowing stream
Your passion and insight, a shared dream
We unravel mysteries, piece by piece
In our dialogue, a quiet peace

In every glance and every word
Our connection, quietly stirred

The spark that ignites my mind
A dance of intellect, uniquely aligned
Together we explore, side by side
In the landscape of thought, where we confide

In the symphony of our minds, we find
A connection profound, intertwined
In the journey of thought, where we tread
You've found a place, deep in my heart

Hi! Thank you so very much for visiting my soundcloud page and for supporting my little songs with your likes and amazing comments.  I am so grateful for your time.  If you have decided to follow me, all I have to say is that I am honored! Thank you!  I have posted some tracks, mostly from my first album soon to be released. 

I write, sing, play piano/keys, arrange, produce, and can perform live all of my own songs. I work with real players both live and remotely. What I do and the way I do it takes time, effort, and money. I don't use any A.I. to write my songs, arrange, do vocals, or anything else. Some A.I. company recently claimed that people don't enjoy creating music because of the time and effort it takes to practice and learn etc...and I believe this to be somewhat misguided. I love practicing, learning, listening to the greats, and working on my music. Furthermore, I can't see the point in having software do the creating for me. What would be the point?
