Secrets in the Sky

Blue-eyed Medusa

Thank heaven for the blinds.
They help filter out the daylight.
It's all been far too bright for me.
Lately there's been
.....too much emotional pain.
It seems that I am on my own again.
I have a plan.
It's time to become another man.

Today we stay in bed.
Me and my ideas 'A' to 'Zed'. 
I'm hatching this plot
to escape my sorry lot-
to knock my past on its head.

Thank heaven for the blinds.

It's all been far too bright for me.

Me and my ideas 'A' to 'Zed'. 
I'm hatching this plot
to escape my sorry lot-
to knock my past on its head.

Sleep might grow me wings.
I might dream of a new beginning.
I don't want to be rich
but I do need the means to exist.
I need a new name and face.
I need a new address.
I guess it needs to be a safe place.

OH! I'm trying.
.....I am trying.
Hell! I keep on trying
but it only brings
more crying,
complicated crying.
I feel like I've been
drowning in my tears
for years and years.

Sleep might grow me wings.
I might dream of a new beginning.
I don't want to be rich
but I do need the means to exist.
I need a new name and face.
I need a new address.
I guess it needs to be a safe place.

OH! I'm trying.
.....I am trying.
Hell! I keep on trying
but it only brings
more crying,
complicated crying.
I feel like I've been

"Hang On To Yourself" 
written by David Bowie in 1971

Ooo you’re a tongue-twisting storm 
Come to the show tonight
Praying to the light machine

You want my honey not my money 
You’re a funky-thigh collector
Layin' on electric dreams

Well come on, oh come on 
we've really got a good thing going
Well come on, oh come on
If you think we're gonna make it
You better hang on to yourself

We can't dance, we don't talk much
We just ball and play
But we move like tigers on vaseline

Well the bitter 
comes out better on a stolen guitar
You're the blessed, I’m a Spider from Mars 

So come on, come on 
we've really got a good thing going
Well come on, well come on
If you think we're gonna make it
You better hang on to yourself

Come on - Ah
Come on - Ah
Come on - Ah...

mOag - hang On tO yOurself [David BOwie cOver]

All Man's Land

This song was written for my old past days when I lived in Tokyo City.

The start of the innocence

I love me some Zep, and I love this riff from How Many More Times. So, I recorded a jam track using it as the basis for the groove...and invited my good friend (well, EVERYONE's good friend) Tom Adams to jam with me. I play the the main riff and take the first and third passes, Tom goes second and takes us home. Check out more of Tom's stuff here https://soundcloud.com/user-342548892     AND, if you haven't seen Zep perform this song to a stunned group of Danish teens check it out here...  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zE-JQzj2aEA
Are you still reading? Well, I feel bad for cropping John Paul Jones out of this photo. He's a great musician, but he wouldn't fit. Sorry, JPJ.

"And the only sound that's left after the ambulances go
Is Cinderella sweeping up on Desolation Row"

[ABOUT THIS SONG]
Little acoustic ballad. I think you've ever felt the feeling that you can't wait to tell your loved one that you love them so much. But, your loved one is sleeping or far from you. The first verse says, "Will you tell me what you saw in your dream tomorrow? Let me say 'Goodnight' to you for now.

[LYRICS]
目を閉じて
浮かんできたものを
明日僕に教えてくれよ
夢みてる　君におやすみ

今日はどんな一日だったの？
思えば君と話す時間もなかった
だからせめて　君におやすみ

You are you
君は君だから愛おしいんだよ
この気持ちを君は知ってるのかな

今日はどんな一日だったの？
やっぱり君の声が聞きたいよ
だけどそっと　君におやすみ

You are you
君は君だから愛おしいんだよ
だけど今　君は夢の中

目を閉じて
浮かんできたものを
明日僕に教えてくれよ
夢みてる　君におやすみ
