Project RESIDUE (Sleeping Though the Good Parts)

This is a tough one for me.  In memory of my daughter, Deborah, oh how we miss her!  I included this song in a video clip for her 31st birthday on Jul 23.

Always

I received a pair of 'Happy Socks' as a birthday present. This inspired me to write this fun song.

'Happy Socks' is a registered trademark.

I bought some happy socks and I put them on my feet,
I started dancing round to the rhythm and the beat,
Of happy socks, hap hap hap happy socks, happy socks, happy socks,
I put another pair on the bedroom chair,
I'm so lucky that I got another pair,
Of happy socks, hap hap hap happy socks, happy socks, happy socks,
They may be wearing out, with a hole in every toe,
But I'm never gonna let my happy socks go,
My happy socks, hap hap hap happy socks, happy socks, happy socks,
My happy socks, hap hap hap happy socks, happy socks, happy socks,
With a pair of these, you've got the socks that really rock,
You can dance all day like you're never gonna stop,
With happy socks, hap hap hap happy socks, happy socks, happy socks,
With a pair of these, you've got the socks that really rock,
You can dance all day like you're never gonna stop,
With happy socks, happy socks, happy socks,
Happy socks, happy socks, happy socks,

Happy Socks

Every night at ten o’clock, before I go to bed 
I doomscroll on my phone, and I see stories that fill me with dread
I know I should put down my phone and read a book, but I can’t control the urge
Things get stuck in my brain that I really wish I could purge
It’s a fine line between staying informed and doomscrolling
And it’s so hard to put down that phone once you pick it up and start that ball rolling
There’s a constant stream of bad news that never goes stale
Why can’t the world be more like a fairy tale
Forever chemicals in the water, pollution in the air
Global temperatures rising, and the oil companies don’t care
Russians making nuclear threats and our leaders they just shrug
Some nights it feels like I’m in a hospital bed and they‘re about to pull the plug
It’s a fine line between staying informed and doomscrolling
And it’s so hard to put down that phone once you pick it up and start that ball rolling
There’s a constant stream of bad news that never goes stale
Why can’t the world be more like a fairy tale

Microplastics your body
It’s bad to sit too long in your in your chair 
They say you can go sterile if you wear tight underwear
There’s an object heading towards us from deep in outer space
They say it might be an alien spacecraft on its way to destroy the human race
Too much information in the palm of your hand
Can make you just want to bury your head in the sand
Sometimes you’ve got to accept there are things beyond your control
Whatever will be will be.  You play an insignificant role 
It’s a fine line between staying informed and doomscrolling
And it’s so hard to put down that phone once you pick it up and start that ball rolling
There’s a constant stream of bad news that never goes stale
Why can’t the world be more like a fairy tale

Doomscrolling

Electro Nu Jazz at a Chill 85 bpm

The last of three songs, including Equinox and yet to release, Harvest Moon, written in past few weeks.

Ripples was inspired by gratitude — never underestimate the short- and long-term impact of kindness. Sometimes we never see the impact, the why something mattered and to whom. I still remember past kindnesses from people that to this day motivate or comfort me. They couldn’t have had the slightest idea — unless they had a crystal ball — to foresee how important their acts of kindness would matter to me later in life. So 🙏

Lyrically, a question is not asked, but is implied in the song:

Who dat knockin’ at my door?
Do you bring a blessin’ or a chore?

Ripples

COUNT YOUR HORSES COZ’ NIGHT IS COMING
DON’T LET THEM GO ASTRAY
IN THEIR SLEEP THEY JUST  MIGHT GO MISSING
AND YOU’LL NEVER SEE THEM AGAIN
YOU MAY NEVER SEE THEM AGAIN

GUARD THE STABLES ALL THROUGH THE NIGHT
KEEP YOUR LOVED ONES BY YOUR SIDE
WITH THOSE WEAPONS YOU CAN WIN THE FIGHT
WITH YOUR LOVED ONES BY YOUR SIDE

HOW DID IT ALL COME TO THIS? 
HOW COULD WE LET IT COME TO THIS?
ARE YOU STILL WITH ME?

GUARD THE STABLES ALL THROUGH THE NIGHT
KEEP YOUR LOVED ONES BY YOUR SIDE
WITH THOSE WEAPONS YOU CAN WIN THE FIGHT
WITH YOUR LOVED ONES BY YOUR SIDE

GUARD THE STABLES ALL THROUGH THE NIGHT
MAKE SURE WE’LL BE ALRIGHT
WITH OUR WEAPONS WE CAN WIN THE FIGHT
WITH OUR LOVED ONES BY OUR SIDE, BY OUR SIDE

The Harvest Moon
Excerpt from a poem by Ted Hughes

"The flame-red moon, the harvest moon,
Rolls along the hills, gently bouncing,
A vast balloon,
Till it takes off, and sinks upward
To lie on the bottom of the sky, like a gold doubloon."

Harvest Moon is a symbol of abundance, gratitude, and the balance between light and dark of the autumn equinox. The 2025 Harvest Moon, this year’s first Supermoon of the Northern Hemisphere, reaches full illumination on Monday, October 6, 11:47 PM ET. 🌕

With props to jazz flugelhorn player and composer Chuck Mangione, RIP (November 29, 1940 – July 22, 2025)


ARTIST NOTE: I attempt (and fail) on a regular basis to satisfy an artistic curiosity — What if classical composers such as Johann Sebastian Bach wrote jazz music using a DAW with electronic drum kits? 🤔😯 Even when I fail, usually something comes out of the effort 😀

Apparently when an active movement from a population reaches 3.5% of the population... They usually get what they want. I believe 7 million Americans came out peacefully calling for the clowns to stop clowning around. 12 million seems to be the target for the next ones ✌🏻🕺🏾🖕🏾👑s 


No Kings

The right to protest
The right to dream
The right to say no
The right for rights clean

The right for all colours
The right for all state
The right to be centered
The right of no faith

The right to love real
The right to call lies
The right to stop steal
The right for girls and guys

The right for constitution
The right for democracy
The right for good solution
The right to quash autocracy

The right to stop hate
The right to stop division
The right to make fate
The right of definition

The right of truth
The right of no one above
The right of our youth
The right of our love

The right to be heard
The right to speak word
The right of sane crowd
The right to call out absurd

The right to evolve
The right that soul brings
The right rights do solve
The right of no kings

No Kings

Retired musician .  Just writing a few simple songs about
life and growing old.  Song about my childhood on a
Louisiana delta farm.  Most songs were written and composed by me on my Boss  BR8 Digital Recording Studio.  Hope to complete my first CD soon.  I have a few cover songs also.
 

Always
