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.

When You Love Someone  (Patersongs/Conover)

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 our 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

Stephen Bruton

Treasured Wounds)  Conover/Roche

Look at the people
that took the time to come around.
To stare down into a hole
 they just dug in the ground.
 It gets me to thinking
 Of the old man, and I'm proud.
 But I'm not sure
 I can walk around 
And he'd show me.
Take two steps forward 
You know you're gonna fall back one
Because things will get worse
before the battle is won.
You got it take two steps forward.
Take a breath and look around.
Make sure you're livin a humble life
And you're never too proud

When life unfolds
and time's at bay.
You see a smile
and look away.


If I could rewind
moments of my life
and turn them new.
Would they include
the dream I have of you?


You had to have known
all those years
all these tears
these letters

I should have known
I should have turned around
I should have known

When Life Unfolds)))) Conover / Sistal

Lucky Little Boy   Conover/Wiggs
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

We're taking a parallel vacation
We’ll Fly
Our compass has truly lost it's way…. today.
If you could wire me at convenient times
Why why why
We could be sharing all our days 
These days go by
Bye Bye baby bye-bye
Bye Bye baby bye-bye

We're taking a parallel vacation
Are compass has truly lost its way...today

With a different itinerary
We might be heading home
With a different outlook now
We could be falling back in love again.

We are taking a parallel vacation
We’ll Fly
Our compasses has truly lost their way…. today.

What would you say if I told you I was never coming home again?
 Well I'm never coming home again....

C&C4 

Home Again  Conover/Hans-Michael Albers

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!

When I was a boy, I had a dream, all about the things I'd like to be
Soon as I was in my bed, music played inside my head
When I was a boy, I had a dream

When I was a boy, I learned to play, far into the night and drift away
Don't want to work on the milk or the bread, I just want to play that music in my head.
When I was a young boy, I had a dream

And radio waves, kept me company
In those beautiful days, when there was no money
When I was a boy, I had a dream

When I was a boy, I had a dream, finding out what life could really mean
Don't want a job cause it drives me crazy, just wanna sing, "Do you love me, baby?"
When I was a boy, I had a dream

And radio waves kept me company
In those beautiful days, when there was no money
When I was a boy, I had a dream

When I was a boy

Everybody knows Gene...Yes they do
You'll want to stay all day
And everyone is looking for you
Everybody seeks you out
No-one wants a party 
If Gene isn’t about
Are you hiding in the garden?
Are you swimming in the pool?
Is there music in the kitchen?
Are you on the hill you fool?

Everybody knows Gene...

We’re all counting on you coming
All gathered in your name
We’ve filled a dozen toasters
Got the music and the games 
Are you hiding in the attic?
Are you down inside the den? 
Can we hear you in a cupboard?
Or have you upped and fled again?

We’re playing hide and seek with Gene
Everybody knows Gene...
We’re playing hide and seek with Gene

We’re all counting on you coming
All gathered in your name
We’ve filled a dozen toasters
Got the music and the games 
Are you hiding in the attic?
Are you down inside the den?
Can we hear you in a cupboard?
Or have you upped and fled again? 
Everyone is looking for you
Everybody seeks you out
Are you hiding in the garden?
Are you swimming in the pool?
Is there music in the kitchen?
Are you on the hill you fool?

@phil-mcwalter took my original music bed and created a bit of a homage to George Martin imagining another facet to The Fool On The Hill character. He said and I quote: "Bruce's track was so redolent of the Beatles already. The @conover bed included the main man singing the eponymous title lines "Everybody knows Gene..." and the lovely rich "bum, bum, bum" and "la, la, la..." bits! I cut it all up and sellotaped it back together in a different order; added lyrics, the song verse/chorus, and the additional orchestration (brass, guitars, strings etc). Good fun working with BC material as always! (Isn't the bass line stunning for one example!)"

AND NOW THE REMIX! I worked on Phil's version and edited, remixed and remastered, added a few friends contributions and some different seasonings, cooked it all up on Bruce's beachside barbecue and invited you all over to enjoy the new flavours! Please enjoy and bring a bottle! I promise not to hide!! Lyrics and provenance below:

Everybody Knows Gene (Conover & McWalter)

Got A Line On You

Let me take you little baby, down to the river bed
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
Yes I do
I got a line on you.

You gotta put your arms around me
With every bit of your love
If you know what to do, I'll make love to you 
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

I got a line on you babe I'll tell you now.
I got a line on you

Let me take you little baby, down to the river bed
And I got to tell you somethin', it’s gonna go right to your head.
I got a line on you, baby
yes I do
I got a line on you.

You can pass it on and everybody in the world can congregate
You can pass this on and something inside is guaranteed to resonate   

One chord at a time. you paint your picture fine   
One chord at a time you imprint into every other open mind

Pass it on
Pass it on

Everybody wants and everybody's needing. 
You say the world is broke you say the world is bleeding……
Pass it on
Pass it on
You can pass it on and everybody in the world can congregate
You can pass this on and something inside is guaranteed to resonate   

You can Pass it on.............
One chord one mind 
Now Two minds are connected  

Pass on it or Pass it on.............

Pass It On  conover/Atlas Cedar

Every little piece of you is already spoken for
and every little piece of you is just what I was hoping for
But it's not gonna happen today
It may not happen tomorrow
but it's really going to happen someday
You know I got to pray

Now I'm going to take
One step and hope that you walk with me
Two Steps and hope that you hold my hand... I'm Gonna go out on a ledge.
Three steps and hope that you look in my eyes
Four steps and hope that you never tell me any lies

Every little piece of you is already spoken for

wo Steps and hope that you hold my hand... I'm Gonna go out on a ledge.

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......
night night

Ordinary World Lyrics:
Came in from a rainy Thursday
On the avenue
Thought I heard you talking softly

I turned on the lights, the TV
And the radio
Still I can't escape the ghost of you

What has happened to it all?
Crazy, some'd say
Where is the life that I recognize?
Gone away

But I won't cry for yesterday
There's an ordinary world
Somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way
To the ordinary world
I will learn to survive

Passion or coincidence
Once prompted you to say
"Pride will tear us both apart"
Well now pride's gone out the window
Cross the rooftops
Run away
Left me in the vacuum of my heart
 

What is happening to me?
Crazy, some'd say
Where is my friend when I need you most?
Gone away

But I won't cry for yesterday
There's an ordinary world
Somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way
To the ordinary world
I will learn to survive

Papers in the roadside
Tell of suffering and greed
Here today, forgot tomorrow
Ooh, here besides the news
Of holy war and holy need
Ours is just a little sorrowed talk

And I don't cry for yesterday
There's an ordinary world
Somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way
To the ordinary world
I will learn to survive
 

Every one
Is my world, I will learn to survive
Any one
Is my world, I will learn to survive
Any one
Is my world
Every one
Is my world

Ordinary World  Labarca/Malik/Conover

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