Hi John, I'm enjoying your song. Very nice.

My oldest and favorite original song (at least my favorite lyrics) and first attempt on using a DAW.  I still Love this Song but hate the Mix.  Plan on redoing..... One day.

"The River"

There is a tired, Old man
Here at the edge of a great unknown
I know how he is feeling
Like he's locked in a box
Floating down a river of broken dreams
Thank God for the Dreamers!

If he looks for a cushion, So what
He's tired of living in pain
Shut down your mind a relax
If you're tired

I see a tired, old man
Making love to his post regrets
'Cause he's not into grieving
I know he is restless...tonight
Reckless when uninspired
Unglued by the attitudes and smiles (oh the smiles)

Of people who pass him by
With no time in their busy life
To ask how he's feeling inside
He'd tell 'em he's tired

There isn't much time
To say goodbye
To the one that her loved
And he loves
Life is a maze 
for victims of fate
When a door opens
Another will close

The River

tired feet scuffing
all I see weighs on me catastrophically 
and the day turns to night 
then to day week month year its so clear so long as good as gone
crowded streets down in history
this can't be beat? must be fooling me
couldn't see the pavement through the crowd now an empty barren ground
who'd of thought that this would make it better's wrong as good as gone
let me take you for a ride
to forbidden places we weren't born to run and hide
vaccinate or lose your rights
block your toxic faces empty spaces locked in stasis to survive
"we are implementing a lock down for the entire global population"
"and what implications do you anticipate us facing if we do not take this drastic measure" 
"life as we know it could possibly be gone"
"With what you're suggestion we are as good as gone"
weighs on me catastrophically 
and the day turns to night
then to day week month year its so clear we are as good as gone
couldn't see the pavement through the crowd now an empty barren ground
who'd of thought that this would last forever's wrong as good as gone
let me take you for a ride to forbidden places run and hide
vaccinate or lose your rights toxic faces empty spaces locked in stasis to survive
let me take you for a ride to forbidden places we weren't born to run and hide
vaccinate or lose your rights break your stasis we weren't born to run and hide

You See Me Crazy

Original poetry

Headphones encouraged!

Symbols are important in poetry. Just as water and the moon are symbols for woman or the feminine and how we should show reverence for Her. Thank you for listening and sharing this musical poem.

The Moon is Ours

She is ours
All of us
The soft opening to
the woman
Inside you 
weeping
Like the tides
Moving dark and
Clutching your veins
To make you bleed
When she is heavy and bright
the laughter will come to
break you
madness swelling
You will never know 
Her completely
The wait for Her in wonder
If you are lucky
You will meet Her 
Liberating you 
Doused as lit
Dressed in your dreams

The Moon is Ours

Diffusion In Clarity

Another track inspired by the surreal novel "Momenticon". Some of you may have noticed that this is a shortened version of the original upload with punchier drums...

All the guitar parts were played on a Deusenberg Paloma, bi-amped into two channels.

The Demise Of Gilbert Spire

Psalm

noxpox - Manitous Offerings

WE’RE HAVIN’ A GOOD TIME…GOOD TIME
WE’RE HAVIN’ A GOOD TIME…GOOD TIMES

WHAT A BLEEDIN’ DAY I’VE HAD
ENDED GOOD BUT STARTED BAD
THE BLEEDIN’ TRAFFIC WAS TERRIFIC
KINDA QUICK TO BE SPECIFIC

WE’RE HAVING A GOOD TIME

I REACHED THE HALFWAY STAGE, LIKE THAT
MY RENDEZVOUZ, TWO SECONDS FLAT
EACH DOOR BLEW WIDE AHEAD OF ME
THE PEOPLE PARTIN’ LIKE A RED SEA

ALL MY CHRISTMASES HAD COME AT ONCE
NOTHING DARED TO STAND IN MY WAY
LIFE HAD GIVEN ME MY SECOND CHANCE
AN OPPORTUNITY I WILL NOT HURL AWAY

Inst break

AS FRIDAYS GO THIS ONE WAS THE BIG SHOW
THOUGHT I’D BETTER GRAB IT COZ TODAYS ARE GONE TOMORROW
I FEEL LIKE I’M NUMBER ONE, LIKE I’M IN FULL CONTROL
IS THIS THE FIFTEEN MINUTES PROPHESIED BY ANDY WARHOL

WE’RE HAVIN’ A GOOD TIME

ALL MY CHRISTMASES HAD COME AT ONCE recorded circa 30 years ago

Kiss Of Death

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

The River
