2025 DEMOS

Second demo, with a synth part added and my brother (Fog City Fogey) on lead guitar. Still unmixed!

LYRIC

Where once I found delight
Reached out and held it tight
I nod in passing
Nothing here is lasting
Let cherry blossoms fall

They will return next spring
That’s the important thing
Falling from each limb
And though I’m not there to see them
They will still be seen
And though I’m not there to join you
Please raise a cup or two for me

Where once the world spun round
But we could hold our ground
Now we go whirling
Tumbling and twirling
No railing we can grasp 
We hear others calling
Fumbling and falling
Every breath a gasp
But we can’t stop for someone else 
We have to save ourselves

Where once time trickled by
Now we see it speeding by
And we’re swept away…

Where Once - DEMO V2

NOT A FINISHED RECORDING - strictly a demo to nail down ideas, structure, etc. Feedback appreciated. Go on, be critical, it can help!

LYRIC

At the moment there is no update
Check back when you can
And it might be a long wait
So if you another plan
We certainly understand

Get up
Get out
Get on with your life
There’s really no sense delaying
I can help you pack
There’s no turning back
And no reason for staying
Get on with your life

With the last of your chores completed
I’m sure you’d like a break
But here’s the chance that you’ve needed
And it’s one you ought to take
Rest later for goodness sake

Get up
Get out
Get on with your life
There are apples ripe for the picking
You’ve searched long for this
Garden of bliss
And the clock keeps a ticking
Get on with your life

is rife with pestering voices
Narrowing down a list of choices
Find a way to be alone
Then you can hear your own! 

When you feel your back in school days
Behind the ears you’re all wet
Don’t stay waiting for a word of praise
You were never teacher’s pet
It’s long past tiem you get…

Up! and out
Yeah get one with your life

NOTICE: I DO NOT PAY FOR PROMOTION. EVER.

SPOTLIGHT: Sexagenarian Volume VI is now complete after the addition of its twelfth tarck, "where once...". Check out the other five (5!) volumes of Sexagenarian as well. 

BIO: I started writing songs in high school (1969-1973!) and I've pretty much never stopped. These are mostly solo recording projects (my brother, Fog City Fogey, contributes sometimes).  I don't do much self-promotion, not a fan of Repost Exchange etc, so all of you who find this page and like a song or two - you are truly appreciated!
