I, I wish I knew
how to handle this situation
that I’m in to

And I can’t decide
whether I should express how I feel
or stand back and hide

And I can read your face
and if you can read mine then why hesitate

Coz I’m, I’m falling
and now that I know what I want
I’ve found the strength
to keep going

I’m glad that you understand 
that I’m just a man

Plain and simple
who finds great warmth in people

So if your’e feeling small
Ill catch you fall
because I feel
the weight of the world
hinge on my soul
and this feels like home
today and tonight
with you by my side

This isn’t new to me
but the feeling I get inside
when we just sit
sit talking
and I can read your eyes
but not your mind

and I appreciate
the woman you are and how you taste

So if your’e feeling small
Ill catch you fall
because I feel
the weight of the world
drop like a stone
and this feels like home
but I’ve found a hole that resides in our souls

It resides in you
resides in me
resides in everything we believe
it shows us love 
it shows us hate
shows us how to destroy
and how to create

It keeps us strong
it keeps us safe
it keeps us sane when life’s to much to take

Its built on hope and dreams of what we make
and its to do with God playing tricks on fate

Coz I, I can read your face
and if you can read mine then why hesitate

Coz I'm
I’m falling
I, Im falling

So if you’re feeling small
Ill catch you fall
because I feel
the weight of the world
hinge on my soul
and this feels like home

But I’ve found a hole in our souls

I'm Just a Man (Demo)

Everything Will Be Revealed

We find ourselves washed up and bleeding
Upon the shore

In the chase for nothing much,
We’ve lost our way back home

While pursuing eternity
We’ve carved our names in stone

For illusions of security
We’ve worked ourselves to the bone

Everything will be revealed
when the waters become still

What was hidden beneath is seen
When all is settled and all is clean

Wings made of mind can’t fly
Try and you will fall

All that we think we know
Isn’t worth much at all

Dreams form in mind’s eye
What is shown could be a lie

Ascending one rung at a time
Don’t split your head up on the sky

I’ve tried so hard to find
a reason why we’re so blind

Hypnotized by the feed
In the mirror they deceive

Not sure what to believe,
With your face cracked in duper’s glee

Doomsday clock is ticking down,
No one hears the warning sound

Didn’t hear the sirens wail,
Playing games as we tip the scale

How have we come to this,
A slippery slope down a bottomless pit

Everything will be revealed
when the waters become still

What was hidden beneath is seen
When all is settled and all is clean,
all is settled and all is clean…

this song is about going through bad times losing my place to live having no money but me and my wife sticking together and still being here together

STH - Another December

Going back one hundred years blues has been inspired by the ABB verse and hard twelve hook/chorus. It was time to update the sound with an upbeat version titled: That's How I Roll. Enjoy.

That's How I Roll

Keith had a gentle guitar phrase and  a few words that he was playing with and shuffled it over to me for a listen to see what I made of it. The result is the song below. The conflict is in the spirituality represented by the sparks on a fire ascending, and the observation that the embers twinkle, fade and fall, silent. What is it all about if the prayers, meditations and positive thoughts just fall back to earth like the sparks? The beliefs we embrace must hit the road of reality. If they measure up to good - wonderful! But if not? The supreme irony for me is watching kids being taught to hate in a religious school class.  I was going to use the coordinating conjunction BUT to set up the point of contrast (But you can't..."). Instead, Keith preferred the AND ("And you can't...") as, in addition to all that one CAN believe, you must be aware that other things follow too. Can And Cannot. So simple. Or is it?
Free D/L - Track 9 of the new album Hold On To Someone : https://www.terrywigmore.com/wigmore-allen-gibbons

Lyrics:
We seem to want to find
A spiritual connection to space and time
An affinity for infinity and the great beyond
Now, chuck your branch onto the fire
Watch it spark, and come alive
Embers drawn up into the night sky
Twinkling, fading, and in silence, fall

And you can't lead, once they've all been turned
And you can't light, what's already burned
And you can't teach compassion and hope
Once the hating's all been learned,

It's the lack of definition of in the twilight hours
That makes it so difficult to find our way
Past all the claims and assertions of things that cannot be proven
Now, chuck your branch onto the fire
Watch it spark, and come alive
Embers drawn up into the night sky
Twinkling, fading, and in silence fall

And you can't lead, once they've all been turned
And you can't light, what's already burned
And you can't teach compassion and hope
Once the hating's all been learned,

Hold On (To Someone)

And You Can't

Big Picture

dead 2 you.

had to post this track because otherwise i wouldve spent longer doing nothing with it, and forgot it.

lyrics --

i know, oh i know, oh i
i know, oh i know, oh i
know you better
than you know yourself.
crossed me once, 
i kind of loathe my, loathe myself.
pitching hits below my belt,
rough rough rough me up 
just a little bit more.

im so hard to ignore
youre so hard to deplore,
pushing daisies, encore,
pushing daisies good lord.
break me down
just to bring me back up.
spin me round 
just to leave me in the mud.
encore.
youre so hard to adore,
pushing daisies, encore,
pushing daisies, good lord.
break me down 
just to bring me back up.
spin me round 
just to leave me in the mud.

you thought
i was getting up to walk.
thats a life i cant afford.
push the thoughts
right to the door.
said ill end up in a morgue,
better yet a rotting corpse
on your messy bedroom floor.
on your messy bedroom floor,
i stay. wish somebody else
knew my name.
need some help to get through 
the chains.
cut so deep i cant feel a thing.
cant feel anything.

i know, oh i know, oh i
i know, oh i know, oh i
know you better
than you know yourself.
crossed me once, 
i kind of loathe my, loathe myself.
pitching hits below my belt,
rough rough rough me up 
just a little bit more.

im so hard to ignore
youre so hard to deplore,
pushing daisies, encore,
pushing daisies good lord.
break me down
just to bring me back up.
spin me round 
just to leave me in the mud.
encore.
youre so hard to adore,
pushing daisies, encore,
pushing daisies, good lord.
break me down 
just to bring me back up.
spin me round 
just to leave me in the mud.

speech by Charlie Chaplin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Great_Dictator)

I'm sorry, but I don't want to be an emperor.
That's not my business.
I don't want to rule or conquer anyone.
I should like to help everyone if possible.
Jew - Gentile - Black Man, White.
We all want to help one another, human beings are like that.
We want to live by each other's happiness.
Not by each other's misery.
We don't want to hate and despise one another.
And this world has room for everyone, and the good Earth is rich can provide for everyone.
The way of life can be free and beautiful, but we have lost the way.
Greed has posioned men's souls, has barricaded the world with hate, has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed.
We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in.
Machinery that gives us abundance has left us in want.
Our knowledge has made us cynincal.
Our cleverness, hard and unkind.
We think too much, and feel too little.
More than machinery, we need humanity.
More that cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness.
Without these qualities life will be violent, and all will be lost.
The aeroplane and the radio have brought us closer together.
The very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in men - cries out for universal brotherhood - for the unity of us all.
Even now my voice is reaching millions throughout the world - millions of despairing men, women, and little children - victims of a system that makes men torture and imprison innocent people.
To those who can hear me, I say - do not despair.
The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed - the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress.
The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people.
And so long as men die, liberty will never perish. ...
Soldiers!
don't give yourselves to brutes - men who despise you - enslave you - who regiment your lives - tell you what to do - what to think and what to feel!
Who drill you - diet you - treat you like cattle, use you as cannon fodder.
Don't give yourselves to these unnatural men - machine men with machine minds and machine hearts!
You are not machines!
You are not cattle!
You are men!
You have the love of humanity in your hearts!
You don't hate!
Only the unloved hate - the unloved and the unnatural!
Soldiers!
Don't fight for slavery!
Fight for liberty!
In the 17th Chapter of St Luke it is written: "the Kingdom of God is within man" - not one man nor a group of men, but in all men!
In you!
You, the people have the power - the power to create machines.
The power to create happiness!
You, the people, have the power to make this life free and beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure.
Then - in the name of democracy - let us use that power - let us all unite.
Let us fight for a new world - a decent world that will give men a chance to work - that will give youth a future and old age a security.
By the promise of these things, brutes have risen to power.
But they lie!
They do not fulfil that promise.
They never will!
Dictators free themselves but they enslave the people!
Now let us fight to fulfil that promise!
Let us fight to free the world - to do away with national barriers - to do away with greed, with hate and intolerance.
Let us fight for a world of reason, a world where science and progress will lead to all men's happiness.
Soldiers!
in the name of democracy, let us all unite

Nowhere And Everywhere (speech by Charlie Chaplin)

This is my new, and possibly final, album. I consider it the best work I've ever done and if I never make another album I would be happy to say that it all ended on this particular note.

Though I obviously have my own distinct sound and musical identity, I would say that major inspirations during my recording of this album would be David Bowie's Blackstar, Peter Gabriel's UP and Kate Bush's Ariel...at least in terms of all of those albums being eclectic studies in contrast and juxtaposition. Like those albums, each song has its own set of feelings and meanings and imagery...and I only hope that this album hits anywhere NEAR the level of artistry of those works. My goal is always to take the listener on a journey through dynamic peaks and valleys and leave them feeling well-traveled by the end of the experience. I want the experience to be impacting on deep emotional, intellectual and spiritual levels, and not just be aural wallpaper to serve as a mere backdrop.

I hope I have accomplished that goal, and I hope that people will take the time to actually LISTEN to this album...but that DOES take a certain level of commitment and an actual interest in music as art. If you have that, you may find this work gratifying. Many have said that it takes a couple listens to “get” what I do...and you may find that to be true as well.

I have made this album available on YouTube as a full album video with lyrics for free listening, as a free download on Noisetrade (link in comment below), and as a paid download on Bandcamp (also in comment below). I had planned on making some videos for some of these songs and to roll it out in a more commercial way, but given the times it seems wrong to me to do so. Above all else, I would would like my work to be heard and remembered. If something happens to me, I would like to know that people listened to and enjoyed my work on some level.

Be excellent to each other!

"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."
--Ephesians 6:12

"Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father, who has loved us and given us eternal comfort and good hope by grace, comfort and strengthen your hearts in every good work and word."
--Thessalonians 2:16

Enter through the narrow gate. 
For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.
--Matthew 7:13-14

For am I now seeking the favor of people, or of God? Or am I striving to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a bond-servant of Christ.
-- Galatians 1:10

"No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon."
--Matthew 6:24
