Great track CW, the mix sounds pretty much there to my ears! Interesting subject! I have a new one, “everything to me.” Love to hear your thoughts! Thank you!

The mix is fine most people overthink it. Me included

a fabulous lyric, a laconic delivery, a timely reminder of a historical date that it so easily deleted in a modern world!

Very cool. Very now and needed. Nice warmth on the piano and your voice. Sorta spooky backing sounds which fit well. I think you've done a wonderful job of it. 👍💙🇺🇸✌️

Why mix? I like your pre mix. A raw sound (and tune) that delivers, IMHO.

a song of history, a song that is observant

A feel good, up-lifting country-rock song with catchy hooks and chorus that will get you singing and clapping along in no time. “Little Sunshine Girl” tells the story of guy who drives down to the Florida Keys from the Georgia line to spend the on the beach with the most beautiful and perfect girl whom he is in love with.  They drink red wine, lie on the beach, play in the surf, walk hand-in-hand on the sand and leave wet footprints. The perfect day with the perfect and most beautiful girl.  “Little Sunshine Girl” hit No. 1 on Euro Indie Music Network chart list on July 8 2024; No. 2 on the World Indie music Top 100 chart lists and No. 20 on the US Top 20 Show-Weekly Pulse of Music (July 01, 2024).

Little Sunshine Girl

LYRIC
First cup of the day
There’s more on the way 
I call it brain fuel
Yes I got your text 
Read it and then next
I check my schedule 
Oh busy busy man that I am
I think that I can work you in
I was gonna swim a lap
Maybe take a nap
But it’s all tentative till then

First glass of the night 
Want both red and white
So I choose rose
Yes I saw that wink
It made me start to think
Do I have time to play
Well busy busy man I may be
I think that I can spare an hour
First let me grab a snack
Then I’ll be right back
After I hit the shower 
Then all I have to do is be with you

At this point in time
I’ve realized that I’m 
Way past overdue
Let’s lay down the facts 
To die and to pay tax
That’s all it comes down to
Yeah busy busy as life finds me
Honey can you read the room
The dog can’t walk itself
Cat knocked stuff off the shelf
I got to go get the broom 
Then all I have to do is be with you 
All I have to do is be where you are
Here and now
Not now and then
Anytime
Just say when

Oh busy busy I’m pretending 
Got paperwork stacked in piles
It’s the kind of mess
I should sweep off the desk
And I can’t concentrate
It all just has to wait
Since I caught one of your smiles
So all I have to do is be with you

All I Have To Do

Sometimes things get a little hectic and i have to get away so i grab a quiet corner and my guitar and sit there and slip away from Time into my own Space. I suppose you could say, " When i need to find myself, I loose myself.

LYRIC
You don’t have to know why, why, why
You can just go and cry, cry cry
To your mother and sigh, sigh, sigh
Life isn’t fair

You (contributed) blood and sweat
Took out cash to place a safe bet
A pile of nothing is all you get
Life isn’t fair

The wheel of fortune rolls through
Across all your dreams
If circumstance controls you
Don’t cry at the loss of your dreams

We can offer a second chance
You just have to pay in advance
If your wallet’s in your other pants, well
Those are the breaks
We all make mistakes
I've no wisdom to spare
But this much I’ll share
Life isn’t fair

The winners all got lucky
You tell yourself that still
Well what you’re calling lucky
Might well be
The greatest skill

You can give one more try, try try
Tape some wings on and fly, fly fly
Then you fall from the sky sky sky
Well say hi for us
To Icarus 
Time to face facts
You chose wings made of wax
Why do you think they call it a dare?
Life isn’t fair

Life Isn't Fair

LYRIC

On the morning of July fifth
Year of seventeen seventy six
Did our fathers - our forefathers -
Wonder what first to fix

We the people it was stated
In declaring ourselves free
If you owned land as a white man
You were counted in that ‘we’

A new nation on that morn 
Saw its first sunrise 
A union by agreement 
Forged in trial and compromise

Each July 4, we grill hotdogs
And shoot fireworks across the skies
The next day we’re left with ashes
And a dream to realize
From July 5 1776

July 5, 1776

This is a country and Western song based on the folklore mystical image of the 7th Son of a 7th Son. In my song he is a bounty hunter working for the Dark One, his job is to collect the souls of the Wicked and bad people of this earth. There is no hiding from him, he is after your soul and discards the Skin. He must be very busy at the moment in this world we live in. 

the Bass and drums are driving this one with a beat designed to make you feel like you are riding a horse through the night running from the 7th son of the 7th Son , hope you like it .

Key of D

The drum beat is bolero.  It comes from a song called Bolero, written by Maurice Ravel.  Happy 97th Bolero!

The chorus is from a song from my childhood 
We sang “Lo Bridge “ in music class
You know: I’ve gotta mule
                   Her name is Sal
                   Fifteen miles
                   On the Erie Canal…

Lo Bridge , Everybody Down - written by Thomas S. Allen in 1912.

The verses about time are mine

Thanks fer listening!

Erie Canal Redux

I know this strangeness.
This is very odd.
It strikes me as
quite extraordinary.
I don't believe in God
so he's not in the mix.
So who might be
.....to blame?
And how can it be fixed?
Please listen carefully
to me.

Last night I spoke with
an 'angel' in my room-
at least it clearly glowed,
chased away the gloom,
and it tried to show me
the 'errors' of my ways.
I wasn't the least inspired.
But my body felt on fire,
and I wasn't going to burn,
so I cursed
.....the beast to return
to the realm that birthed it.

When it was gone
.....I felt more alone
..........than I'd ever done.
I felt far more alone
than I'd ever done before.
.....Far more alone.
..........Left on my own.
...............Lonely.
Lonely and bereft.

OH!
So now I know
the bare bones of
being alone.
It runs deep.
Puts you to sleep.
It's so easy to drown in.
OH!
So now I know
the bare bones of
being alone.
It runs deep.
Puts you to sleep.
It's so easy to drown in.

When it was gone
.....I felt more alone
..........than I'd ever done.
I felt far more alone
than I'd ever done before.
.....Far more alone.
..........Left on my own.
...............Lonely.
Lonely and bereft.

THE ANGEL

LYRICS:
I feel like I'm falling right through the clouds 
not stopping till I hit the ground (wake me up I'm scared) 
Its too late to stop me now

Into Another Dream
Into Another Dream

I feel safe and sound away from it all
we're dreaming that we're bigger but we're really so small
when I'm stuck in a nightmare 
please save me I'm sick of being scared
at least act like you care

tell yourself, you'll be here for me
tell yourself, you'll never let me bleed.

Into Another Dream

I see you there
Girl I see you there
x2

I’m tryna touch you

I’m tryna hold on, to you

You’re portrayed as a piece of clay

The angels, they weep for me
The angels, they weep for me

I’ve been swaying, like trees
It’s the only way I know how, to breathe
So i’ll set myself down, at ease
Anxiously, waiting for the moment, to see

You
On the wall

You’re my painting 
My painting 

The painting, 
On the wall

I see you there

I see you here, I see you there

The painting, on the wall

You’re my painting
My painting 

I see you there 
I’m tryna hold you
I see you there 
I’m tryna hold you

NOTICE: I DO NOT PAY FOR PROMOTION. EVER.

SPOTLIGHT:  "A Lot Of Life" has been added to Sexagenarian Vol VI which now has eight of its planned 12 tracks. Vol V reached completion with the addition of "Foolish Mortal" as the 12th track. Then there's "Darq Bleu/Change Hue," my first collaboration with anyone other than my brother. I took about half of the Crawling Vines (Jack Holston) song "Darq Bleu" and added a chorus. Came out pretty 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!
