Treasured Wounds
There's a neon sign blinkin
On the wrong side a town
It's an old lighthouse beacon
For lost soul's run aground
And they look at their live's
Like a vein that's been opened
And ya can't tell for sure
If their laughing or choakin

Some sit in silence
and stare off in space
And some holdin court
Tend to get in your face
But they all see themselves
Like a coin that's been tossed
And hope that their worth what they've lost

So turn back the clock
To back when it stopped
And we'll sing all are old favorite tunes
And resurrect kneel bow and gene-flecked
Before our most treasured of wounds

Now memories and shadows
grow long with the day
and come back to life
when night has it's way
And we're all old soldier's
we won the war
only to fall on our swords

Before our most treasured wounds
Before our most treasured wounds
And it takes one to know one down here
And it takes one to know one round here

Waiting On The Sun

Me and you 
Sitting in the rain
Waiting on the sun to come

Me and you
Digging in our pockets
Its no money no fun

Well some day soon
Something's going to happen
Lucks going to come our way
We cant give up
We got to keep hoping 
Tomorrows going to be our day

Me and you
Trying just to get by
Boy these days are hard

You cant get work
They don't want to pay ya
Unless you play the right card

Well some day soon
Something's going to happen
Lucks going to come our way
We cant give up
We got to keep hoping
Tomorrows going to be our day

Waiting on the sun
Waiting on the sun
Waiting on the sun
Waiting on the sun

We cant give up 
We got to keep hoping
Tomorrows gonna be our day

Waiting on the sun
Waiting on the sun
Waiting on the sun
Waiting on the sun

Me and you
Waiting on tomorrow
Wishing it all away

Me and you 
Drinking through the sorrow
It always seems to want to stay

Well some day soon
Something's gonna happen
Lucks gonna come our way
We cant give up
We got to keep hoping
Tomorrows gonna be our day

Waiting on the sun
Waiting on the sun
Waiting on the sun
Waiting on the sun......ect ......

C r u t c h e s  &  C r o w s 

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

Guitar, Lead Vocal, Lyrics and song by William Paterson 
@w-paterson-1-1
backing vocal, mix and production by conover
© 2015 Patersongs/Conover

This song is basically about relationships where two people love each other unconditionally.
Take the good with the bad and support each other no matter what.
That to me is what love is meant to be. 

When You Love Someone

I love you
You love me
That's the way its meant to be

Good or bad
Yours or mine
That's the way its meant to be

Sometimes life can get you down
Just call my name I'll come around

When you love someone it feels so good
When you love someone it feels so good

Good or Bad
Yours or mine
That's the way its meant to be

Up or down
Smile or frown
That's the way its meant to be

Without your love my soul would die
Without your love then who am I

When you love someone it feels so good
When you love someone it feels so good

First or last
Future or past
That's the way its meant to be

Sometimes life can get you down
Just call my name I'll come around

When you love someone it feels so good
When you love someone it feels so good.

Music and vocal by Alexis Roche

Lyrics: Poem by Paul Verlaine (1870).

La lune blanche
Luit dans les bois ;
De chaque branche
Part une voix
Sous la ramée...

Ô bien-aimée.

L'étang reflète,
Profond miroir,
La silhouette
Du saule noir
Où le vent pleure...

Rêvons, c'est l'heure.

Un vaste et tendre
Apaisement
Semble descendre
Du firmament
Que l'astre irise...

C'est l'heure exquise



translation to English:

The white moon
Shines in the woods ;
From each branch
springs a voice
beneath the arbor..

Oh my beloved.

Like a deep mirror
the pond reflects
the silhouette
of the black willow
where the wind weeps.

Let us dream! It is the hour...

A vast and tender calm
seems to descend
from a sky
made iridescent by the moon.

It is the exquisite hour!

Note from Alexis Roche to me when I ask him what this song meant and what that initial spark was good got them to write this beautiful song.

Re the song itself, it's a poem by Paul Verlaine from 1870 that evokes lovers(or maybe a man alone thinking of his missing beloved one)taking an evening walk under the moon. listening to the wind in the trees, watching a black willow reflected in the pond... it's basically about appeasement, dreams and, of course, love. This poem always makes me think about "Dream a little dream of me".
 After reading it for the first time, about 25 years ago (I was 17), I took my guitar, put those two chords, and found that melody straight away... I always thought it was over-simplistic, hence never played it with anyone, but for some reason it got stuck in my head and has been haunting me ever since. I eventually decided to record it one year ago, possibly in an attempt to let it go away... 
but thanks to the incredible feedback I got from soundclouders, things have not quite happened this way!

I will need therapy too :)

This Track came about after being so inspired by that beautiful song.

Run Rabbit Run
There's a man in these shoe's
that you will never know.
There's a part of his smile
that he will never show.

Everbody needs someone
Everybody needs someone to Love

There's a song in the field
'bout a rooster that crow's
And the longer he sing's
The believer will be

Mr. Rabbit's
found his pace
no one else can run the race
for him.

Mr. Rabbit's
found his pace
no one else can run the race
for him

repeat 1st verse and run your own race............

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.

Pull down the posters
tell em I’m found
Send all the dogs home
Tell em I don’t need a hound

Turn back the news crews
Get em out of town
Fire off your rockets
And follow me down

Follow me down
Follow me down

Amber 
Your so magnificent.
Amber
You run away.

Tighten the crossbow
and stand in my way

In the evening
when the sun goes down.
I pull you close to me
and I’m so proud.
That your the Girl
I know that can’t be found by
Lucky Little Boy’s like me.

I can’t be fooled by you,
but I believe in me and you.
Somehow and Forever
I Do, I Do

In the evening
When the sun goes down.
I pull you close to me
and I’m so proud
That your the girl
I know that can’t be found by
Lucky Little Boy’s like me.

And when the children are asleep
We will reflect upon this night together.
All the roads we drove.
All the blessings showed.
All these things and more
opened up the door
For a Lucky Little Boy

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

from Potsdamer Platz

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

Where Are We Now?    Conover/Massimo Ghianda

Part Of Your Smile

We wiggle our toes into the golden sand.
And look up to the sky
There's just one thing on our minds today.

Every little part of your smile
becomes part of my life.
Oh Baby

We slowly make our way out of the ocean.
We wash the rays away.
The daylight will be slipping into to night.
 good night.

Every little part of your smile
becomes part of my life.

We tend to stay along the coast
to keep from losing our way.
We tend to face into the wind
We get our power from the wind…….

We wiggle our toes into the golden sand.
And look up to the sky
There's just one thing on our minds today.
Every little part of your smile
becomes part of my life.
We tend to stay along the coast
to keep from losing our way.

There's a stretch of land between your eyes and mine
Now that's a property I'd surely like to find
Won't you navigate the course between these lines
 And the space that fills the atmosphere that hanging right in front of me  
 With a verse that’s choking on it's very first line
And a song that's never ever heard in time  
And a story left untold
It just never unfolds for you
It just never unfolds for you
It Just never unfolds for me 

Tell your story Man

Though we stand tall against the Muck and the Meyer
So we hold on to the things we admire.

Richard Halliburton 3rd, went missing at sea that night 
Richard missing at sea since March 1939 after trying to sail Sea Dragon
(a gaudily decorated, 75-foot Chinese junk) across the Pacific  Ocean.
What was He thinking?

 Is it up to you to judge what he thinks
And dream where his brink would begin
Is there some inspired line you could have shared with him?  

Maybe not but maybe so 
Could you really loose it just to give it a go
Maybe not... but maybe so
Could we really loose a thing by giving a go. 

Though we stand tall against the muck and the meyer
So we hold on to the things we admire.
 Sail on young Halliburton.......  Sail on

Triangulation
Talk to me... Please talk to me.
You survey and trace the angles and I will right the ship.
We could be done with this before the dawn.
Definition: 
 Triangulation is a situation in which one family member will not communicate directly with another family member, but will communicate with a third party, This can lead to the third third party becoming part of the triangle.

Triangulation is driving us insane
Triangulation could bring us back again
Triangulation is tearing us apart
Triangulation will take us to the start

And I've got to tell you somethin' it’s gonna go right to your head.
Cause I’ve got a line on you, baby

Cause you got the right line to make it through these dark and dreary times.
I got a line on you baby oh you know I do.
I've  got a line on you bababababababa baby

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

Relax  (Miper/Conover/Welin)

Making your way from the gate to the aeroplane
check in the baggage picked up along the way

you swear You'd leave it
you swear You'd leave it behind

Boarding the plane is oh so sad for you
Take off and departure can be stressful on one's soul
It's OK
it'll be all right for you

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......

Breathe deep the gathering gloom
Watch lights fade from every room
Bedsitter people look back and lament
Another day's useless energy spent
Impassioned lovers wrestle as one;
Lonely man cries for love and has none
New mother picks up and suckles her son
Senior citizens wish they were young
Cold-hearted orb that rules the night
Removes the colours from our sight
Red is grey is yellow white
But we decide which is right
And which is an illusion\\

B r e a t h e D e e p.   (The Conover/ Welin Adventure)

Procrastination

Music and lead Vox by https://soundcloud.com/junkheap
Conover added a few additional background vocals And some orchestration midway through.
A song of sarcasm about leaving and getting away from it all.

I`LL BE THINKING OF YOU - (JunkHeap (c) Jan 2018)

Spending the nights awake thinking it has to be done,
it did her good, it did her good.
Her mood hit the floor; 
found the strength to get away,
it did her good, it did her good.
Turn another corner, leaving the house forever. 
With cynicism in her voice, she said to herself, 
I`ll be thinking of you.
I`ll be thinking of you.

He had enough, hesitated, 
but bought a ticket out of his town, out of his town.
Packed his bags, and got on a plane,
because he really didn`t see a point
of hanging around, hanging around.
He stepped on the plane,
tipped his hat and said,
I`ll be thinking of you.

They both worked their fingers to the bone,
it was a too much to deal with at their age;
Trying to retire, and turn the page.
They got in the car, he turned the keys, 
and they went east, never looking back
and they both said to the past, and laughed...
I'll be thinking of you.

I'll be thinking of you...

I'll Be Thinking Of You   JunkHeap /Conover

It was just a little part
With all these little pieces
There were miles of excuses and indeed they had their reasons
For what?
Let’s talk about why:

Now I knocked on many doors
And I made all of the 'phone calls
I turned off all my lights and left my purpose on the floors
For what?
Let’s talk about why:

Life is precious but it's stolen from an old man on the way
That's what I say….
It's what I feel

That's what I feel....

64 is getting old now…
I know
I feel it...
64 is getting old now…
I know
I feel it... just a little bit

65 is down the road for a young man and his dreams
In his pack
And he's never looking back….
No way...

No way...
There always a path home...

65 Seems Old (Conover / DOM / Gotchi)

Breakfast In La Jolla
Let me buy you one last drink and let me light your cigarette
Let me get your coat and let me order a taxi so we can get out of here
You said you wanted to see the sunrise on the beach
And I said let's go to San Diego
Cause I know a place in La Jolla Cove with an ocean view 
and where time is running wery slow ; )
We can walk on the sandy cliffs and throw frisbees on the beach
We can watch the sea lions and the seagulls
We can have breakfast at Cody's in Girard Avenue
They are serving pancakes
Oh let us go, lets not hesitate
The clock is ticking, It will soon be late
Let us go my love, to La Jolla cove

Vocal/Lyrical sketch by conover

I'm kinda visualizing
A home up on the hill
overlooking the ocean
I See an orange front door
With plenty of light coming in.

Build me a Castle and please keep it strong.
To guard against the elements that keep propelling me on.
Compose a mighty Castle and please keep it free
Of all the innocence that's missing in me.
That's missing in me....

Welcome to the BrightHouse
Where all things are shiny and real
Welcome to the BrightHouse
Where all your dreams come true
Welcome to the BrightHouse
Where all things are shiny and new
Welcome to the BrightHouse
Where all your dreams can come true
For you
For You
Just for you

Hazy mornings with you
Everything’s gone downhill

We’ll cruise through the stars
Just making up together
This beautiful collision

I know you know I’d do anything
Cause you care and I do
You and I so beautifully collide
This beautiful collision
This beautiful collision

Just a last time then I’ll disappear
All of our tainted years

We’ll cruise through the stars
Just making up together
This beautiful collision

I know you know I’d do anything
You care and I do
You and I so beautifully collide
This beautiful collision
This beautiful collision
This beautiful collision
This beautiful collision

Well here were standing in this bright and bold horizon
And some people feel that they're all alone
I'm here to tell you that were standing strong together
And we just don't need to dance alone
We take one step forward
and we meet that little girl
We back up a few steps and we twirl our arms up in the air
You swing the doors wide-open
and let the fresh clean air come in
You turn the lights on and make the shadows go away

Cause we ain't going to dance alone tonight
We're going to dance alone together 
We ain't going to dance alone tonight
We're going to dance together

United we stand and here we go hand-in-hand.
Qantas will take you the safest way of all.
When you walked out across the tarmac.
I counted your steps until you’d got into the plane.
Oh Lord I know I'll feel the waiting.
The waiting came to set my plate.
Oh Lord I know I'll feel the waiting.
The waiting came to set my plate. But wait..

Around the world with you in 80 days.. Oh My
A round with you this morning.
Around the world with you in 80 days.. Oh My
A round with you again and again and again

Oh Lord I know I'll feel the waiting.
The waiting came to set my plate. 
Oh Lord I know I'll feel the waiting.
The waiting came to set my plate. But wait..

Around the world with you in 80 days.. Oh My
A round with you this morning.
Around the world with you in 8
Around the world with you in 80 days.. Oh My
A round with you this morning
Around the world with you in 80 days.. Oh My
A round with you again and again and again

Here is my one take vocal approach to a letter I got from Nate J.
That doesn't mean there aren't stacked vocals. It just means that everything I attempted I would keep and not look back.
This is the head down approach and you just work through the track eight bars at a time until you hit that magic ending.

Here is the correspondence I received:
I know it may not sound like a finished top song but I think it's good to show the process. 


Nate J
Hey Bruce! Here is the song I promised you! I call it "Gone" because it feels melancholy and longing at times but still sounds hopeful to me. I'm currently in a long distance relationship so I drew the connection from that. However, you should take it in whatever direction you feel! I'm excited to see your take on it! :)

The Waiting (Conover / Nate J)

Burned by love

Embers are glowing
Little eyes are showing
the plans for the rest of the night.
Temperatures dropping
but no need for bother
just pull me in closer
just pull me in closer to you
closer to you
closer to you
closer to you

We could be burned by love
We could be swept into nothingness
We could be burned by love
We could be caught up in happiness for you

Embers are glowing
Little eyes are showing
the plans for the rest of the night.
Temperatures dropping
but no need for bother
just pull me in closer
just pull me in closer to you 
closer to you
closer to you
closer to you

We could be burned by love
We could be swept into nothingness
We could be burned by love
We could be caught up in happiness for you.....

Temperatures dropping
but no need for bother
just pull me in closer
just pull me in closer to you
closer to you
closer to you
closer to you

We could be burned by love
We could be swept into nothingness
We could be burned by love
We could be caught up in happiness for you....

It's cold out there people. Stay warm and cuddle together

Burned By Love (Conover/ Nate J/ Welin)

Music Bed composed and performed by https://soundcloud.com/juswel 
Lyric and vocals by Conover

Every man has his planner
and everyone has a screen to stare into
There’s the choice you make 
and decisions you have to stick to
Mark it on your blue Calendar
in permanent ink
never to be forgotten

and why must we fill up our day
In such a laborious way
And why do we fill up our lives
with kitchen spoon’s…. forks and knives

Mark it on your blue Calendar
in permanent ink
never to be forgotten 

Every man has his planner
Everyone has a screen to stare into
There’s the choice you make 
decisions you have to stick to

Mark it on your blue Calendar
in permanent ink…….

never forget........

Your Blue Calendar (Conover/Welin)

This is a test......
I contacted Jack about creating lyrics for his fine track as I had some sweet ideas pop up on first listen. When stems arrived I had forgotten the clever topic and melody bouncing in my head.......
This happens all the time... Note to self:  pick up one of those little recorders at RadioShack....
Anyway this is what came of a ham handed attenpt to redeem myself after Jack went to all the trouble to accomodate me.
It's raw and wounded but I am posting the outcome for a few hours. let us know if your up or down reviews cause it to remain..
Thanks for taking part in the TEST))))))))))Free Download 

Lyric Test:
I’d rather not show you my books upon religion.
And I’d probably not tell you the levers that I pull and I pull.

I’m shopping for creatures that think the way that I do.
Pull……………………………

I feel seduced and abandoned by those all around me.
I feel rejected and ridiculous inside my home.
I’m turning independent .
I change my stripes and spots.
I’m turning independent. 
And I like it a lot.

I’m shopping for creatures that think the way that I do.
Pull……………………………

Stand by.
To much information.
To much.

I’m shopping for creatures that think the way that I do.
Pull……………………………

When in doubt "Pull"

It was only yesterday
I thought it was just us
Destined to stay hidden in the woods
I’d marveled at the prospect
Of there being more
But now we’ve found them do I trust them?
I’m not sure
They might have the answers
They might just keep us safe
Confiding in them could be the biggest
Mistake we’ll ever make
They might lead us to victory
They might even take us home
But something doesn’t feel right
About that leader in my bones

I have felt so hopeless
As if I can’t go on
And these people seem OK to me
Do you really think there’s something wrong?
They might have the answers
They might just keep us safe
And I’m willing to take that risk
Let’s leave it all to fate
They might lead us to victory
They might even take us home
It’s better than facing the enemy alone
Alone
Alone

Maybe I’m just being a little paranoid
But I can’t shake off this feeling, he’s someone to avoid
Let’s just take it one day at a time, see how things pan out
If you trust him then I’m willing to give him a chance
In spite of my doubt

If there was only two traits that came through in my music, I would hope that it would seem to be effortless and inevitable.
