a new day comes to us with love songs numerous
as you reach your hands up into the sky you hold on for your life
then you do your best to understand and you try to get it right
the next time
when you look back and see all of the beauty
you may want it back but this ship has sailed
you think we'd know better
doesn't everything end eventually
we try to tell ourselves to get along

I still believe in love although it seems so far away today
tattered torn and so imperfect in a most peculiar way
I still believe in love I'm saddened though I'm not ready to say
I don't believe in love today

when all is said and done what will become of us
could there be much more than we see right now
well I really hope so
will we feel the sun cutting through the clouds
we would like to know, but you never know

Michael Weber's Album

i still believe in love

out on the open road
you'll never see it coming
where there's sweet surrender
when the time is right
through the blistering rainfall
to the eye of a hurricane 
couldn't see it clearly
'til the time was right

right here, right now
letting go now

down by the water's edge
such that we hardly noticed
yeah, we were so convincing
royalty of fools
couldn't take our sweet time
bit off more than we could chew
now all the evidence shows
that we are through

under the weeping willow
you can see a shadow
reaching down, down, down
receding to the ground
when they talk about it
got no mind for comfort
with your eyes on the road
with your eyes on the road

out on the open road
drawn into the horizon
feelin' Arizona
with a California heart
and the kids are moving
to the music so sublime
and everything is all right
and the time is right now

if you want the polished apple:

letting go live

10 seconds
the difference between everything and nothing
the thinnest margin
it was supposed to be beautiful
so hard to say goodbye
maybe the next time
maybe the next life
it was supposed to be beautiful
maybe the next time
maybe in the next life
it was supposed to be beautiful

as always, thanks to our dear friend Adrian :)

supposed to be...with Adrian Hallam

you won't know 'til you know
you can't say that you know
'cause you never know
we live, breathe, eat, dream
regretting nothing in between
'cause you never know
no you never know
'cause you never know
right here
the best made plans can
lead to face plants

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMsOyWMQNv4

you never know

the birds are chirpin'
the wind blowin'
the light in your eyes reminds you that you're alive
it's nearly summer

the world is turning
emerald jewel
flowers reach up for the sky seeking light
It's almost summer

https://youtu.be/Hhnk2pcGyLs

it's nearly summer

we've been told
the need to eliminate

machine 1
man 0

machine one.....man zero

1 monkey wrench, 2 brews, 3 blasts of grease

basement jam

hey ya, hey yo
we wanna go where the smoke don't blow
hey ya, hey yo
51 billion tons is enough for everyone

i'm not playin'
i'm just sayin'
there's a way out
there's gotta be a way out

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_Z7KEC_qgs

gotta be a way out

starring.....as pictured
featuring Bellle on flute
me on clarinet

the hill rolls down to the sea
the rest is a mystery

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPFHTFhSpmU

the hill rolls down to the sea

don't wake me up from dreamin'
the road so long to find
the direction of to and fro
there's no reason and no rhyme

inspiration it's said
will find you down the line

i don't recall where we're supposed to be next year
and i can't see it clearly from there to here

to and fro

see ya waiting
at the side of the road
not contemplating
death

you needn't worry
suppress your dreams
in the blink of an eye
it could be gone, gone, gone

yeah, there is no, no need to live numb, numb, numb
ya better live each day like the next'll never come
you know the long, long road, you may never, never know
go get it

see it is true that
it is all in our heads
this very fear that
could be our friend

we've got to get up
let it fill our cup
it stands to reason
teaches us

how many times must we learn

contemplating death

there is no tellin' when the wind starts to blow
comin' in hot and comin' in cold
shadows and memories they come and go
wait it out

if you wait it out

sure as the winter time wind starts to blow
everything comes and everything goes
here by my side you won't get too cold
wait it out

oh how the leaves blow 'round
it's autumn's sound

that feeling that comes with the darkening skies
distant horizon, electrical lights
raining down everything, overhead 'n by
wait it out

autumn

it's dark outside again
the fog is creepin' in
november calls her name
the owl sings again
the misty evening air
the moonlit shadows there
sung throughout the night
ready to take flight

chouette

if you were the king of the moon
what would you do
would you chose the light or the dark to stay

king of the moon

take everything that you thought you knew and throw it all away
that's what you call starting over
it's something you never learn in school
don't even learn from mom
call it the great unchartered truth

the great unchartered truth
might just find you

do you remember when we were kids
down by the old, brick school
fumbling 'round to break some rules
of course, there is another side
and you may find it too
call it the great unchartered truth

love, it can be disappointing
it can be lots of things
you usually know when it is mutual

the great unchartered truth

everyone has their time
everyone needs something nice to believe in
everyone needs someone
everyone needs to be loved

well you know it's nothing new
and you're ready to give way
you might just think it through 
before you

when there's not much more to say
when you're seein' only blue
you might just wanna get away
from you

everyone takes the ride
everyone hits the skids sometimes
everyone feels better outside
everyone contains a bright light inside

bright light inside

the average

Recorded with Jeff Forrest at Doubletime Productions in San Diego.
Jeff is a good bloke and a friend. Once recorded an album with the band Injest at Doubletime with Jeff. He plays drums and a number of other instruments here. I can't remember who exactly played what, but it was an intense, emotional time......really rich.

STAY AWAY FROM ME
STAY AWAY FOR YOUR OWN GOOD
A LITTLE LOWER DOSAGE 
IS WHAT WE NEED

we try and we try to get away from what we can't escape and we don't know where to go but we try and we try to escape and we don't know which way out oh

oh ya look to the right, look to the left, down way
try to go somewhere but nowhere is open at all
so strange
everything is different all of a sudden
oh no we all run, run

runnin' in place

runnin' in place - blind session/cam-O

You don't know what you're looking for
Until you find that open door
But when you do you see it's time for change

The darkening skies obscure your view
Old sentiments take hold of you
Your temperament suggests it's time for change

For change, through the open door
For change, cool the water down

Some creatures of habit are we
When lost is permanence we seek
A way back home so weary of this change
The emptiness gives way
To colors painting morning skies orange and grey

For change, through the open door
For change, cool the water down

Now we listen to the whisper of the breeze
The fear that lies behind the arrogance is seen
In these moments that can bring us to our knees
One door closes, another opens, we see

For change, through the open door
For change, cool the water down

we're an imperfect bunch 
that seem to be out to lunch 
but our love is true

we lost the race of time
 In Snoop's scene we could be fly
 but our love is true

vegetable gardens we weed and we water with wine as we ponder the time 
carried off on the bad seed as we rise to the sky like a lover's desire

hodge podge and mish mash genes 
we're fighting this great machine 
which we're sure to goose

obsession pays its due 
compelled thru your every move 
but our love is true

crossing the river with feet in the mud are of season in the time to come 
peeling the layers off opening up as the pumkin seeds sour your touch

we're an imperfect bunch 
that seem to be out to lunch 
but our love is true

Jeff Forrest and I recorded the drums, guitar and vocals for this live in his studio. :)

our love Is true

are you alone
do you feel like giving up
we are all alone
don't give up

let it all fall down
let the burdens wash away
I know all to well

if you wait it out
you can get away
for a little while
that's all it takes
if you wait it out

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdqTkGfMzVeUeB3x4hKCVVg

wash away

What can you say
Something's are better left unknown
Oh these dirty little secrets linger at the bottom of the pool
'n you wonder if it'll come to surface
Or will they dig and find what you've hidden
Oh, when they find what you've buried in the back under the trees
We're not talking trick or treat

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GeleylE4dxA

dirty little secret

having seen the sun arise
morning's come alas the moonlight
is a memory
having seen the fire arise
in it's fury the ashes rain down

the answer, let go

see you take the hardest shot
then the counter punch hits
like a rock
know this love's inseparable
didn't have a choice, now did you

let go

https://youtu.be/eeawRI6DnkA

the final countdown
we haven't left the ground
an eerie silent sound
forces pounding down
heartbeat zero hour
10....9....8
the final countdown
rocket engines light
shake with violent might
accelerating might
we shoot into the sky
5...4...3
the weight has lifted
what a way to go
looks so beautiful
spinning to and fro
all systems are unknown

final countdown

so you thought you had it all figured out
yeah, you thought it was all understood
and it turned you inside out
when will you learn
when will the burn stop
when will you learn
so you tried a different stategy
studied and prescribed
it didn't work out as planned
and you waited for the next time
so you thought that you had it all figured out
the next time around you tried something different
everything went hunky dory then
the unexpected crept in
seemed quite a trajedy
and U put it in its place
and you woke up the next day
in a better way
log roll
some day we'll wake and find that it's all over
and the problems won't exist at all
maybe we'll have it right by then, I hope so
otherwise we just might fall down again
into the deep abyss
of our ever fragile ways

we go back to square 1, it's on us all and it's been said and done
we jump up to square 2, reciting promises, they're meant for you
we look to square 3, to break the monotony
we look down at square 4 and pick the pieces off the floor

can you see me, can you hear me, can you feel me, do you know what I'm sayin'
in the same time, in the same place
at the same time, in the same place

say there goes number 5 and all that jive
look to number 6, throw down those drum sticks
7, close your eyes and feel the light
well there goes 8 and then comes 9
9 is for cats, I don't have time for that
10, we hope to see you again, we don't have time for more
.....sorry 11

no time 4 11 - blind session 'n camo

i hear these voices in my head
i ain't tryin' to quiet them no more
i just give into them
there is no making sense of it
you just gotta go with it now
and Lady Luck may lead you to your destination now
it's only motion down below
you look above and see a million stars
it's hard to tell which way is up down in a hemisphere... 
don't you know where you're going boy
it seems that you have been a long time comin' to this place now
it seems so far but it seems so close
it's drawn me into the air
so hold on tight you never know
where you may know
