Driven

I have been a driver 
And I have been Driven
And I have come across this road before
I am not a Holy man
But I have been taken
to the promised land before

This has been the longest road
that I have traveled and I wound turn back now

You could take care of me
I could be your fool forever and ever
That would be wrong wrong wrong

You could find a lover in me
I could see the same in you
Oh we could get lost
That would be wrong wrong wrong

You could take care of me
All of my life
I could be your stupid Hero
That would be wrong wrong wrong 
That would be wrong.

Fools Forever

Composed by Bruce Conover and Matt Warnick 

I Can’t Help You Now

funny now how it seems so strange
i should have known it from the start
i caught you stealin the town while i was fallen down
guess i was tearing out your heart

i used to feel empty just like you …it’s true
but i don’t want to change the things you do
it’s gonna be all right

and now you say that your the one i need
yes indeed, your wrong again
and i’m sorry i just can't help you now

searched my soul now im movin on
try a new way of dream’n
if not for you this tune would be through
in fairytales you believe in

i used to feel empty just like you …it’s true
but i don’t want to change the things you do

I Can't Help You Now ))))  Conover/Warnick

You Are The Road, I Am The Wheels)))Conover/The​Phaige

This Train.....

Are the clouds out tonight
Are they really so fluffy and white
And the stars in the sky 
Can you really depend on their light

Cause all these things
I need to know
These are the ingredients
we need to grow

Maybe there’s a time to cry
And maybe there’s time to say

All aboard This Train
we don't know where we’re going
This Train
 it’s runnin off the tracks
This Train
 we can't see where were going

This Train……..

Had to get the train 
from Potsdamer Platz
You never knew that
That I could do that
Just walking the dead

Sitting in the Djungle
On Nürnberger Straße
A man lost in time
Near KaDeVe
Just walking the dead

Where are we now?
Where are we now?
The moment you know
You know, you know

Twenty thousand people
Cross Bösebrücke
Fingers are crossed
Just in case
Walking the dead

Where are we now?
Where are we now?
The moment you know
You know, you know

As long as there's sun
As long as there's sun
As long as there's rain
As long as there's rain
As long as there's fire
As long as there's fire
As long as there's me
As long as there's you

Find one friend and proceed......

This is how it works.
Maintaining control
Over those little things that lurk.
Reducing their power
Encourage dissonance,
These tried and true principles

But you’ll be the last one to ever know

Just swear you are

WEARIN’ THE CROWN 


Plannin’ how I’m gonna’ make everything right 
Takin’ all your troubles home, holdin’ them tight 
All my illusions of control held so close 
Burnin’ deep inside my soul; Free the ghost 
I get off wearin’ the crown 
All hung up in my own renown 
Cardboard throne wearin’ the crown 
I get off wearin’ the crown 
Speak in universal tongue you might want to hear 
In the same sardonic tone year after year 
I’ve got opinions you should know, pay the price 
Band of gypsies in my tow, lead the fight 
I get off wearin’ the crown 
All caught up in my own renown 
Cardboard throne wearin’ the crown 
I get off wearin’ the crown

This is not one of my tracks and I did not play, sing or produce it.
It's just an old school mate that gave it quite a go promoting his music and his band a while back and Soundcloud had not come out yet. I want to show him how this community may accept him. We shall see...
We played in bands together in our teens and I always knew he had something special and original to offer. Hey Pittsburgh musicians are a special breed.

Zahut - Forever Young

I can’t fall in love with you
This would never work in a million years
I trust my heart in situations such as these
This would never work in a million years

Step by step I hear you calling
Do you need my help
Where can I find you
Step by step I hear you falling
Can I help you
Can I help you

I helped my mother to pay off the farm
I counted chickens after school
I was a hard working lad
I helped my mother to pay off the farm
I counted chickens 
I was a hard working lad

I can’t fall in love with you
This would never work in a million years
I trust my heart in situations such as these
This would never work in a million years

Step by step I hear you calling
Do you need my help
Where can I find you
Step by step I hear you falling
Can I help you
Can I help you

I helped my mother to pay off the farm
I counted chickens
I was a hard working lad

We shall see how things work out
We shall see how things become unworkable

Row, row, row your boat / Gently down the stream / Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily / Life is but a dream

Row your own boat Man........ 
Dream like it mattered

Meaning ONE

Your boat = your life.

The stream = time. Water is always moving, so is time.

Row, row, row = you’re constantly rowing, constantly moving through life, constantly working at it. You don’t just row for a little while and then rest. Uh-uh. No breaks. No rests. Life. Keep moving.

Gently = It’s not a race. You aren’t racing toward the end – um, your death –are you? Gently row through life, don’t hurry. It’s the trip (life) not the destination (death).

Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily = attitude, personality, character. How you look at things, positive versus negative, optimist versus pessimist. Be happy, be passionate on the way. They say attitude is everything. Enjoy your life, enjoy the ride.

Life is but a dream = Dream or nightmare, we have the ability to choose what our life will be. We cannot decide what happens, but we can decide who we are, what we become, how we react, how we cope. It’s our life, our dream. And our choice.

 

Meaning TWO

Boat = body. It’s the vessel for your movement, changes, growth, learning, development, awareness.

Row, row, row = you have to work for what you want in life, have to apply effort to get where you want to go. Unless you row, your boat won’t go anywhere. Be careful of distractions that could pull you away from your goal. But don’t be so focused, have such blinders on, that you don’t remain open to change, to life, to possibilities.

Gently down the stream = let go of the past, move toward your future. Row gently because to push or force or fight the natural direction your life is leading you will only create stress and upset.

Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily = you may already have it hard. Don’t make it worse. Water can be rough but you can get through. A negative attitude will not help, in fact, it will make things worse. Use the challenges you face to make you a better person.

Life is but a dream = touches on the dreamlike state of reality. The world is physical around us, yet thoughts and emotions change, shift, alter, transmutation making something less physical, solid. Dreamlike.


RANDOM Meaning

Row, row, row your boat:
You have to row your own boat. No one else’s. Don’t try to control other people. Control yourself.

Rowing takes skill. Practice makes perfect.

When someone is rowing on their own, it implicates free will and the choices they make that decide which paths they take.

When rowing with others, it touches on the need to work together, in unity to reach the intended goal.

Gently down the stream:
Force creates resistance. Don’t resist if you can flow along with the water’s natural path and make something of it. This is different than fighting the challenges, the bumpy stream’s road.

Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily:
Take challenges in stride, meet them with a joyous attitude and a smile. Go with the flow.

This is not a rehearsal, not a dry run, not a trial run before the real thing. This is the real thing. You might as well enjoy it. Don’t waste time being upset longer than need be or by holding grudges when you could be happy instead.

Life is but a dream:
So stop making it a nightmare.

It has religious overtones of how life is simply the dream before the consequences/rewards.

Life is only a dream, not real. Everything you do is meaningless. (I don’t like this one.)

Life is a short moment. Only a dream when compared to our eternal soul’s existence.

I asked Mia if I could sing background vocals with her on this wonderful song "Relax". She agreed and with her kind permission I invited https://soundcloud.com/juswel in for electric guitar sweetening. This is the outcome.
We hope you you enjoy
Bruce & Mia

RELAX

Relax
Relax your mind
Relax your body
Surrender 
Let go
Fill your heart with light
fill your soul with love
Let love shine in.
Relax
You are beautiful
I am beautiful
We are all beautiful
We are all one
May we all be happy
May we all be healthy
May all live happy lives
Fill your heart with light
Fill your soul with love
Let love shine, in.
Relax
Surrender

Here is the link to Mia's original track  https://soundcloud.com/miper/relax

Notes from Mia on her page for Relax
This song I wrote in India during a TTC(Yoga teacher training). I wrote it for my first ever lesson I was going to have. I was SOOO nervous, and I refused to have more than 4 "students". 
I remember some of my fellow students got very dissapointed (Im still sorry, but I was just too nervous;)
So anyways this song was for the last part of the lesson, where it was time for some "Savasana" Relax time.. also called "Corpse pose" haha. 
And now I felt for producing it. 
I hope you like it <3

Zahut - Futurisma

Little Kiku you made me smile this morning
while we had coffee out 
the rain began to fall on our menu as we planned our famous day … 
and then you reach to me 
and that look in your eye could stop every single bird in this sky or at least they would try to slow down 
those little birds could slow down

are you not sleeping well
are you eating all right
do you worry of things that can go bump in the night
i love you Kiku

Are you not sleeping well
Are you eating all right
Do you worry of things that can go bump in the night
I love you Kiku
I love you Kiku

Little Kiku you know I have no way of finding you in this big dark city 
This big dark city tonight
come home
just come home to me

we can go out for coffee
we can stand in the rain
just let me explain
just let me explain

and then you reach for my hand
and I see that look in your eye
you could stop birds in the sky 
or at least get them to slow down
slow down
slow down
slow down
slow down 
slow down
It's 10 o'clock......
night night

This flavorful recipe for Kung Pao Noodles can be made with chicken, shrimp, tofu or my very favorite….roasted cauliflower! A few years back, while visiting China, Brian and I took a couple wok cooking classes and got a feel for authentic Kung Pao which is the perfect balance between spicy, tangy, sweet and umami flavors. This is my own simplified version that I like to serve with noodles instead of traditional rice. Keep it vegetarian or add meat — it’s up to you.

Crows.........................
they laugh at my Crutch
they say far to much
with me down in the streets
the Crows they make all the cash
they spend way to fast
and that can defeat
the Crows
they make all the money
they spend it so fast
and that thing won't last
the Crows 
they manage my future
and i just sit back
when they hang me to dry
i hang on my Crutch
i keep at my side

The Crows.........................
