Nice job Dom.  Love the acoustic guitar.   You are a talented guy.  Keep up the good work.

you have a lot of classic moves up your sleeve. and a ton of feeling.

Hey John. Lovely work. I'll be back. Take care. Luke

Nice. Like your lighter approach to the vocals here...

Superb song John; the vocal harmonies and the light instrumental treatment compliment each other really well.

"Just Breathe"

(Verse 1)
I'm taking my time
I've got no plans in mind
Sit with me for awhile
The sun shines as bright as your smile

(Chorus 1)
Just Breathe
Just Breathe
  Let me breathe in your sweetness
  And take you all in
  Get back to the innocence 
  Like when we were kids
Just Breathe
Just Breathe
Just Breathe
Just Breathe

(Bridge)

(Verse 2)
All that I have I will share
And all who I am I will bear
I've got no place to be
Spend your day wasting with me

(Chorus 1)

(Chorus 2)
Just Breathe
Just Breathe
  Let me live in the light
  Of your love & your grace
  A feeling of peace
  By the smile on your face
Just Breathe
Just Breathe

Look Around Now

Sunshine 
On my mind
Casting light
pure and fine
Dark as night
Blind to see
It’s a sight 
To be seen

Look look look around
Look around 

Look around now
Look around now

Life everlasting
Shade beneath a tree
Clean clear water
Running in a stream
Complicated systems
Turning into weeds
Growing into gardens
Easy as you please

Look look look around
Look around 

Look around now
Look around now
Look around now

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ SOLO ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

Just enough is key 
Simple as can be

Send in the cavalry
Pull out all the stops
Can’t go back the way we came
So give it all you got
Change is just a way of life
We all know this is true
But as to direction 
It’s up to us to choose

Look look look around
Look around 

Look around now
Look around now
Look around now

(Pee.H.D. = Peepologist with Highest Distinction) They say to write what you know, and sadly, for the past two years, walking my dog has been most of what I know! But it has been time well-spent.

Lyrics:

My little wiener dog knows all the town is his bog,
Every corner merits study and perusal,
Every stain on a wall is his port of call,
And requires his liquid signature approval.

He’s the Professor of Pee, he’s got his Pee.H.D.,
He knows his canine urinology from A to Zee,
Forensically inspecting is his specialty,
He’s called the doggie with his Pee.H.D.

He knows all about filtration, reabsorption and secretion,
When he sniffs a hydrant all of this is clear,
He knows the P-H range, with every breed it will change,
And the nuances are more than they appear.

He’s the Professor of Pee, he’s got his Pee.H.D.,
He knows his canine urinology from A to Zee,
Forensically inspecting is his specialty,
He’s called the doggie with his Pee.H.D.

He studies density, and transparency, colour, odour, flavour and acidity,
Golden Amber U. is where he got his degree,
And his college was the backside of a maple tree.

He smells urea, chloride, sodium, creatinine, potassium,
The rest all being good old H2O,
When taken altogether, and depending on the weather,
They invoke a self-response that triggers flow.

He’s the Professor of Pee, he’s got his Pee.H.D.,
He knows his canine urinology from A to Zee,
Forensically inspecting is his specialty,
He’s called the doggie with his Pee.H.D.

“Shall I approach it from the left? No, I’ll approach it from the right,
My leg goes up, down, up, down, my body spins around,
It’s hard to make a decision with the maximum precision,
That’s required for such a vital job in town.”

He’s the Professor of Pee, he’s got his Pee.H.D.,
He knows his canine urinology from A to Zee,
Forensically inspecting is his specialty,
He’s called the doggie with his Pee.H.D.
He’s just a doxie with his Pee.H.D.!

From Red to Green

Do you remember
What we didn't know?
How fast this bad thing spread?
Doctor Li sacrificed himself
as history will show.

Shelter in place
Track and trace
From a lab or a bat,
Who knows how we did get
into this mess.

But soon
before you know it
  (before it's coming back again)
We will go
from red to green!

Remember how terrified we all were
Who could've foreseen this?
A president's ghost
still haunts the Capitol,
Body left, spirit stayed  

get on with life
Not as we knew it 
A summer of lust
Or paradise lost?
Get on with life
Not as we know it
chorus

Space they say
is the final frontier
But I think it is human ignorance

From Red to Green

Future journeys

From red to green

To Breathe Once More
Music and Lyrics by Mike Krath

I ride the train with packed men
Who haven’t bathed in some sense 
I hold my hand to my nose
After covering it with after-shave,
The dirty men make it necessary 
Their stench makes it necessary 
Their mannishness makes it necessary 
To hold my nose. 

I am above these sad souls,
I am rich, they are dirt poor,
I hold my cash in my pants,
After seeing these men as beneath me
These poor men make it necessary 
Their clothes make it necessary,
Their beneath me makes it necessary,
To hold my cash

And thirteen stations later,
That pass by in a dim blur,
These zombies move without purpose
Into the dirty air,
As rats play in the door
And women move their bellies,
But not their brains,
And children poop in the streets,
And no one cares. 
Not there in Filthy Land,
Not there in Filthy Land.

And I find resolution,
But not absolution,
A dissolution if you will,
To breathe once more,
But the air is dirty.

To Breathe Once More

Just something to get into the "spooky" spirit.  This is a great song Written by Sam the Sham & the Pharoahs in 1966.  I hope i did it justice.  All credit should go to the creator

Lil Red Riding Hood (Sam the Sham & the Pharoahs)

"The Line"

(v1)
Why you go and make pretend
That you were my friend
When all this time 
You  were keepin' score

How's it feel to live a lie
And tell me that I'm wrong
How you gonna testify
If you never sang the song

(p/c)
Don't know what's been goin' on
Inside your head
All the time you spend alone
Has left you with a deficit

(Ch)
It's hard to know the line
But you crossed it the last time
I ain't got no more time
For you

(v2)
Life has its ups & downs
One day it can turn around
I ain't never said 
I'm better than you

You've got me at the precipice
It's a stupid way to get your kicks
I think I've done
All I can do

(p/c)
Don't know what's been going on
Inside your head
I think it's time for me to fly
Don't need your recompense 

(ch)

Adjusting My Attitude

I'm a 53 year old "RockDad".   I’ve been playing guitar and playing in bands since 12 years old.  Pair that with an overactive imagination.  Another Singer/Songwriter is born.  Making music is a great way to blow off steam & a lot cheaper than therapy.   And lately bits the best way to meet like minded people & make new friends.  I have a private songwriting group on Facebook called Songwriters  Anonymous filled with some of the greatest musicians & songwriters to be found on the internet.  We’re all addicted as are you.  I look forward to hearing your stuff!   Peace
