Long Play [Expanded Edition]

Who Need's Who?
© 1982 Conover/Warnick

Forged by tears from eye's
that never under-emphasized
You cast aside
a love that's heated in the shade

You say you need your latitude
and left me alone
before I found the words to say
and when you needed solitude
I found that you 
you left my side
and turned around to say

who needs who?
who needs who tonight?

long live your pride
your ego never steps aside
deep in the night
your new romance begins to bite

you call me up to say your down
you wanted to come home
to set my world aflame
i tell you about the girl i found
she’s sticking by my side
so now i’ll be the one to say

who needs who?
who needs who tonight?

Who Needs Who?  Conover/Warnick

First collaboration between Conover and Warnick circa 1979

That track was so much fun to record. Was cut in a huge Anvil case that had been made into a control room inside of a music store "West LA Music" in Hollywood so we had hundreds of guitars and amplifiers to pick from. As the assistant manager I had the keys to the store. We started at closing time and didn't come out till 7 am the next morning :) We are still somewhat friends 43 years later. ; ) rest in peace, my dear friend, Matt

Late For Dinner

My friend and soon to be epic guitarist, Matt Warnick and I recorded this song in the back of the old Hollywood Guitar Center in 1978 in between customers in the ProSound room. This track was recorded on a Sound Workshop four track cassette recorder and using a Linn drum Computer that had just come into being and was going to be picked up later that afternoon by Todd Rundgren's manager. Enjoy our throwback Thursday production and arrangement that we thought was not bad for the recording medium used.
The owner of Sound Workshop Inc. "Michael Tapes" heard this demo two days before the Namm show in  Anaheim California and gave me the recorder in trade for this cassette tape to use as a demonstration during the show. I guess this would be my very first endorsement deal.
warts and all. Here it is ))))))))))))))))))

Mission Impossible Theme  Conover/Warnick

Sink Into Oblivion

Another try 
would be nice 
Another path to walk 
so I could think twice
 I'd have a room 
with a lamp
 and an envelope
 in need of a stamp
 I could fall  into the sunset 
or sink into Oblivion
 I could burn all my bridges
 and sink into Oblivion.

Presumption:
An act or an instance
Assuming it's true
Adopting an attitude
Toward something thats rude

In the blink of a second
Go figure the math
Your Quoted, mis-spoken Boy
It'll cut you in half.

Presume This...... CONOVER/REFEM

They Got Me Crawling in a snow drift
They got me shaken in my boots.
They say it’s all this global warming
I think they’re play'n in cahoots

It’s gonna be a long long winter 
mark my word
It’s gonna be a long long winter
I’ll give it to you on that!
It’s gonna be a long long winter 
mark my word
funny mouth sound made with index finger

They Got Me Crawling in a snow drift
They got me shaken in my boots.
They say it’s all this global warming
I think they’re play'n in cahoots

It’s gonna be a long long winter 
mark my word
It’s gonna be a long long winter
mark my word.
repeat and go inside by the fire..

Mark My Word!!!!    Conover / Ivan Milhet

I just don’t know
What is it that you bring to this.
I just don’t know
What is it that I offer. 

If we could answer 
questions just like these.
I just can’t see
What is it that we offer…

All we are  
Is all that we can be…

When I call you
It’s never to soon Girl
When I call you
It’s never to soon Girl

All we are  
Is all that we can be…

When I call you
It’s never to soon Girl

I just don’t know
What is it that you bring to this.
I just don’t know
What is it that I offer. 

If we could answer 
questions just like these.
I just can’t see
What is it that we offer…


When I call you
It’s never to soon Girl….. 
All We Are Is All That We Can Be
All We Are Is All That We Can Be

Repeat and reach for the stars*

Just up the path was 
Travis corner
Fully replete with cakes and treats
All we needed was air 
All we wanted was sunshine
Where is the sunshine
I fell in love with you that fall.
And all you wanted was Paul on your lunchbox
Paul on your notebook too
George and Ringo add nothing to your world
and John was acting a bore
In 1964 
Just up the path was 
Travis corner
That was the center of our world
All we needed was freedom
And we're all waiting for sunshine
Where is the sunshine
I fell in love with you that fall
and all you wanted was Paul 
George and Ringo add nothing to your world
and John was acting a bore
Yes John was acting a boy
In 1964 

Do you remember? Do you.........

Travis Corner 1964   (Conover/Steen)

As a music enthusiast in my early teens I purchased a  good set of headphones that I would listen to music while looking out my bedroom window at night and watching the warm Jets fly west into the distant skyline......

If you're still awake at the end of the song I've done something wrong.
Now..... lights out..... and mind at rest.......

Lights Off, Headphones On, Mind at Rest (•ิ_•ิ)

His life was gentle; and the elements
so mixed in him, that Nature might stand up,
and say to all the world, This was a Man!

William Shakespeare
English poet and dramatist (1564-1616)
considered one of the greatest English writers.

This was a Man!

All I've got to do is count from 1 to 2 and say I love you,
now I've made the purchase now I’ve found the love that I can talk to.

I love you 122
I love you 122  

Remove the jumpers they have placed between her eyes
and count from 1 to 2
Then drink the serums that begin the bond
and count from 1 to 2

I love you 122
I love you 122

repeat and Love one another

I Love You One To Two........

Some saw the sun
Some saw the smoke
Some heard the gun
Some bent the bow
Sometimes the wire must tense for the note
Caught in the fire, say oh
We're about to explode

Carry your world, I'll carry your world
Carry your world, I'll carry your world

Some far away
Some searched for gold
Some dragon to slay
Heaven we hope is just up the road
Show me the way, lord.... Because Im about to explode

Carry your world, I'll carry your world
Carry your world, I'll carry your world
Carry On

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

Man don't need direction
Man know where to go
Women need da roadmap 
Wanna know where to go

Can't we please find a way to explore all the differences
Can't wait please find a way to move forward down the road

Will you need a compass
Will you find the north star
Flying by the seat of your pants

Read your maps and make a firm plan
Fill up with petrol and take plenty of snacks

Man don't need direction
Man know where to go
Women need da roadmap 
Wanna know where to go

Man don't need direction
Man know where to go
Women need da roadmap

Man don't need direction
Man know where to go
Women need da roadmap 
Wanna know where to go

I could fall back into those big brown eyes 
I could fall back into your arms
I could trust a woman with hands as soft as yours
I could hold on
I could hold on

I could be calling you from the phone booth just outside of town
I'm sure I'm the worst thing for you now
If you would take me back and let me go on living
I'll show I could hold on
I'm sure I could hold on
I'll show I could hold on
I'm sure I could......

Hang up the phone and follow your heart....
