This song is based on two incidents that happened to me.  One I was on a boat with Scotsman and a German (I'm from the USA).  I was having difficulty understanding the other native English speaker (The Scotsman),  So the German helped me out by translating the Scots English to American English for me.  The other is me understanding my 3 year old Grandson.  Frequently his mother (my daughter) had to translate the 3 years old English for me.

This is a collaboration between myself and Dave Cooper (warfydave).  I wrote the lyrics.  Then Dave Cooper built the guitar chords and provided the melody and vocals.  I then completed it by adding the other instruments and mixing and mastering the song. 


Lyrics:  Can you help me out


Can you help me out
Can you translate for me, I don’t understand?  
I hear the words but I don’t know what they mean  
They sound so familiar but the meaning eludes me  
 
Chorus 
Can you help me out?  
Can you help me understand?  
Can you help me make meaning of these words?  
    
Can you help me out?  
Can you help me understand?
I don’t understand x 3 - what I’ve heard
 
I don’t understand what is being said  
I try to make sense of these words  
Try as I may I do not understand them
 
Well thanks for the help
The world’s better place
We talk and it makes sense
Translation, oh it’s so helpful

Can You Help Me Out (with Warfydave)

After 10 songs of jazzy singer songwriter it's time for a change. But not much! As science based as we are there's still that feeling of karma or whatever. So - better do some good!

Better do some Good.      

Hey I don’t mind complicity in drinking all that wine
It’s good to get the wheels up, but just from time to time
But dwelling on this comfort food is brewing up a blood red sky 
You lapsing into navel gaze is goading kharma’s battle cry 

Better do some good oh darlin’ 
Make a start tonight
You never know who’s out there watching
Know your wrong from right
Do  do do do do do do do

It’s no good you walking round as tho it’s you who’s missing out
With lips so taught and victim eyes 
You’re looking like a sour kraut
You’re always going to lose the war living in this ugly mess 
If Gods don’t see u clean the floor 
The frontline beckons to the West

It’s a round and a round you’re swirling down
Consumed and jealous
You’re wanting needing ‘n nursing greed
In a sump of trench warfare
Aaah ooooh 
Nothing but the best 
Everyone at your behest 
Better do some good tonight 
Better do some good tonight

BETTER DO SOME GOOD

Where will the inspiration come from? Perhaps frond the sound of a stream? Perhaps from the sing of a bird? Or mayby something that boils inside you and found a way out?

ILLUMINATION NUMBER ONE

With birthday songs the audience shrinks to one, but I thought I'd share this little shortie with the cloud, must be someone out there celebrating a birthday! https://youtu.be/FGR5NxxHUAA

Auspicious
That’s what I’d say
Yeah, that’s the word of the day
When you’re sober it’s fine
But if ya drinking moonshine
It’s kinda difficult to say

Au-shish-pous
It might sound like that
Specially if ya been knocking it back
But hey Guy you’re amazing
On this au-shish-pous occasion
Happy birthday from Burt Bacharach

Auspicious

season of change

Lost Temple Blues

We all have changed, I remember those days, when it all was okay, and we prayed it would stay that way till we were older, you gave the cold shoulder, and now I am colder but still I can hold her,


 lessons I’ve learned from the ages I’ve burned away into the fire, but you stand there inspired, and I think its alright, I was high as a kite but afraid the heights so I never would fly too far from who I liked and I kept my friends tight, cause who knows when we’ll die, baby girl, just please smile, 
cause you are who I like, and I think that’s just fine
X2 

We go to sleep with these hopes and these dreams that one day we can be something more than we see, all we want is our freedom, the changing of seasons, leave tears down my eyes, and the nights I would cry cause you had said goodbye, watching you walk away and you leave me in pain, but I’ll see you again,

Two Songs In The Moonlight - Luiz(3)

Dear SoundCloud friends.  This is the place where I locate my country, bluegrass, folk, jazz, and blues oriented songs:  roots music.  You will find this music rougher and not as polished as the music I place elsewhere.  This is where I will host music with a more wooden feel.  As always I am very interested in collaborating with my fellow musicians.

I encourage you to visit the sites of the musicians with whom I have collaborated on this page:
