I couldn't get a comment to stick when I first heard this Chris -- this is such impeccable Pop craftsmanship very much in the Elvis Costello vein -- great lyrics, arrangement, production and vocal arrangement

A so beautiful song ❤️ very melodic 👏

nice to listen to..so relaxing...vocal & instr.!!

Really great music, man! Love this composition and positive vibe! Fantastic job 😎👌

Sounds fab. Wouldn't be out of place on a Belle & Sebastian album, one of Stevie's songs...

A few years ago, one of our presidential candidates referred to those who had the audacity to vote for the other candidate as "Deplorables".   It occurred to me that my family and I might fall into that "deplorable" category, so I thought I would offer a little insight into the daily life of us deplorables, or at least the perception of us by many of the social / political elites.               (pictured: the twins)

Adorable Deplorables

"THE CALL" DRINK PURPLE

Volume on 11 for this one …. The pulsating rhythms instilling a sublime sensation of both restraint & motion, like driving. Part one is a guitar ensemble and later part 2 introducing bass effects and an addictive synth motif hook

As long as I remember
You have always been a threat
Think about that
You banged on my door 
Then you crawled on my floor
You were a kitten I was a cat

Some words came easy
Some words did not
Some made to please me
Some sharp like a shot

I read in the paper
Some heartbreaking stuff
I was upset
A new kind of standard
A new kind of truth
You were media’s pet

Some words came easy
Some words did not
Some made to please me
Some sharp like a shot

This remarkable change
I knew it was lies
Seriously 
You’ve wrapped them 
Around your finger
Mysteriously

The stories you’ve made up
Is hard to believe
Castles in Spain 
You deny your neighbourhood
Exploit yourself
It’s all in vain

Some words came easy
Some words did not
Some made to please me
Some sharp like a shot

The road to ruin
Goes along with fame
It’s a thrill
It’s hard to handle
Easy to get lost
Put that in your will

You have always been a threat

JustForYou


Feeling kind of dark inside
On the edge just scraping by
And hoping for more
Cynical of the past
Waiting for another chance
Then you came through the door

When I looked into your eyes
Couldn’t help loving you, loving you
And I still get kinda high
When you come by

No matter what’s in store
I know one thing that’s for sure
I’ll be saving all my kisses for you
Just for you

I was lost in a black abyss
Needing more than a quick fix
And the spark for the catalyst 
Was the passion of our first kiss

Well things don’t always go as planned
Sometimes you know shit hits the fan
But I don’t get sore
Counting blessings yes indeed
Got what I want and what I need
When you came through the door

Now when I look into your eyes
Can’t help loving you, loving you
And I still get kinda high
When you come by

No matter what’s in store
I know one thing that’s for sure
I’ll be saving all my kisses for you

I’ll be saving all my kisses for you
Just for you

JustForYou

This isn't autobiographical in any way, it's just a story...
forgive my singing and the possibly (definitely) over the top background vox lol..

The way the morning broke that day
The sun was coming up in such an ordinary way
The day they sent you away
How could we get that news on such a lovely summer day?
a mother lost in all her tears
a brother lost inside his fear
How could they do this thing to you?
It don’t seem real, it can’t be true

for me the days were flying by
For you the world was standing still, i wondered why
It’s the beginning of the end
All The time that’s lost that you could never find again

And it seemed like a million years 
But the day at last appeared
Where was your life when you came home?
The world had left you all alone

And when our mother died, it finally broke in you
I know you never cried, and if i were you i’d be angry too
I found your guitar by your door
You said that you would never play it anymore
Some nights i hear it through the walls
It takes me back to times when we were brothers through it all

You were always there for me
Even when you couldn’t be
I wish they hadn’t stole your life away
For some little thing, that’s not a crime today
I hope you know, good things will come to you one day,
Just keep holding on, I’m with you all the way…

Oh, my brother,  sweet brother

ELLE S’APPELLE ELSPETH C’EST FOU CE QU’ELLE DÉVORE 
ELLE EST DE L’ESPÈCE DES SOURIS PAPIVORES

AND IN A WORLD OF WORDS SHE LIVES UNDER THE SPELL JUST LIKE A MILLION BIRDS QUI LA FRÔLENT DES AILES

PLEASED TO MEET ELSPETH

ET DANS SON MONDE DE MOTS SON UNIVERS DE LETTRES 
C’EST DES MILLIONS D’OISEAUX QUI LA FRÔLENT PEUT-ÊTRE

COMMENT ELLE S’APPELLE ELLE S’APPELLE ELSPETH 
COMMENT ÇA S’ÉPELLE DON’T KNOW HOW TO SPELL 
AD LIB
AND IF YOU DON’T THINK PARIS WAS MADE FOR LOVE GIVE LONDON ONE MORE CHANCE

LA SOURIS PAPIVORE (Lyrics) song for Elspeth

LYRICS 

8 billion people stopped praying today
Planes fell from the sky, fell like rain
Cars went crashing off of the roads
Tsunami waves landed on the coast

When I think how it ended tween you and me 
I begged the whole world to get back on their knees 
Please

Golden Gate Bridge is in the sea
The angels refused to intervene
The nations armies have gone to war
Those petty thoughts went out the door 

When I think how it ended tween you and me 
I begged the whole world to get back on their knees 
Please

Please forgive me for my selfish ways 
I know the whole world is falling away
My baby got caught up in this mess 
I didn’t try - didn’t do my best

When I think how it ended tween you and me 
I begged the whole world to get back on their knees 
Please

Begged the Whole World

I started out, I had no plan
I took a job and soon was working for the man
And now it seems through modern dreams
And all I've done is learn to live beyond my means
Yes we have the house, And we have the car
And paid for it all, on some credit card, now that ain't right!
Oh no, no

My second home, your student loan
And every year I got myself a brand new phone
Can't do without, don't have the nerve
I tell myself that these are things that I deserve
Yes, I can't make do,  With just half my chеque
I need all those things, so I live in debt
Now that ain't right
Everything that I thought I knew
Everything I was told, was true
I was living a lie and I never ask why
And now I don't know what to do
I guess I can't keep up, I guess I can't keep up with the Jones

I can't slow down, I've lost control
I've  double down and tell myself I'm on a roll
It's not my fault, it's not like me
I never saw myself as someone who ain't free
Now I'm wondering, has it gone too far?
Should I pick up the cheque, At this hotel bar? Now that ain't right!
No, no, no
Everything that I thought I knew
Everything I was told was true
I was living a lie and I never ask why
Now I don't know what to do
I guess I can't keep up, I guess I can't keep up with the Jones

I was living like the money was king
I let it have the power on me
Now I recognize the funniest things
Is I'm broke and now I'm finally free hee hee hee-hee!

We all know life don't go as planned
So now I'm buying all my records second hand
It's brought me these, I've come to see
That all my greatest joys in life are always free
I still have my house, But I've sold my car
It felt so damn good, To cut up those credit cards, yeah that felt right!
Yeah, yeah, oo!
Everything that I thought I knew
Everything I was told was true
I was living a lie and I never ask why
Now I don't know what to do
I guess I can't keep up, I guess I can't keep up with the Jones

In this fictional story, Madlyn, "the little girl dressed in blue" from the track, Climb Up the Ladder is missed by her dad. We've gotten a number of condolence messages. I guess we did a good job on this track!
