Collaborations and Salutations

***This is the second collaboration between Dances with Sheep and ELT Project.  Our last one (It's a Fine Line) was well received so we HAD to go back and mess it up!  I asked ELT if he had anything mellow, and he composed this instrumental masterpiece - originally titled "Mellowville."  Gotta love his work!  ELT wrote and played all the instruments, and inspired me to do the vocals and lyrics.  Go check out ELT's fine work on his cloud at @soundcloud.com/extremeloungeterror.  Hope you enjoy, and as always - free .wav downloads. 

IS IT ANY WONDER?

ELT/DWS (2013)

Is it any wonder that the moon lives in your eyes?
Down the spiral staircase hand in hand and mind in mind
Is it any wonder I can swim inside your charms?
Rings of Saturn call to me and pull me to your arms

Hold me underwater till my lungs fill up with pain
Then hold me under longer so I can’t get out again
Floatin’ down that river with no boat to slow our way
no boat to slow our way to the sea

Is it any wonder that the sun burns in your hair?
Every breath that you exhale is angel precious air
Is it any wonder that your whisper turns the key?
Lava flowing down on me is cooled off in your sea

Hold me underwater till my lungs fill up with pain
Then hold me under longer so I can’t get out again
Floatin’ down that river with no boat to slow our way
no boat to slow our way out to the sea

Is It Any Wonder (with ELT Project)

*** Koen Cools wrote this as an instrumental. He wrote and played all the instruments. I heard it and loved it and asked if he would mind if I put lyrics, vocals and a melody to it. He said yes knowing full well anything can happen in the pasture when the mic is turned on!  This is the result and we hope you like it.  It was a pleasure - Koen is the Maestro!!  You can listen to his original instrumental and his other fine works on his SoundCloud page - https://soundcloud.com/k-cools.  As always, free .wav downloads.  Thanks to all!

MAYBE
K. Cools/DWS (2014)

I tried to stand but I had no feet
I tried to sit but I had no seat
I tried to talk but I had no voice
I tried to choose and I had no choice
I tried to hide cause I had no clothes
Ain’t gonna die and have a tag on my toes
Sometimes you just gotta break it off free
and let it follow you home - Maybe

Maybe
We’ll find a way to find a way to find a way
Maybe
On the sidelines I’ll no longer stay
Maybe
We can find our feet and find our seat
Maybe
We’ll get a chance to find our voice 
then we’ll get to make the choice

Comes a time when a mans gotta rise
to pump it up until there’s blood in his eyes
To make a stand no not the easy way
To give it up every night and day
There comes a time for that sacrifice
To make the purchase and pay any price
Sometimes you just gotta break it off free
and let it follow you home - Maybe

It ain’t hard to say
if you find the way
it ain’t so hard to say
if you say maybe

Maybe
We’ll find a way to find a way to find a way
Maybe
On the sidelines I’ll no longer stay
Maybe
We can find our feet and find our seat
Maybe
We’ll get a chance to find our voice 
then we’ll get to make the choice

And when we move it you’ll be there with me
Shoulder to shoulder as we set ourselves free
Make all the pimps and the oppression whores
run down the alley as we break down their doors
and give a fresh start to the common man
and lift him up by his very own hand
Sometimes you just gotta break it off free
and let it follow you home -

Today

Maybe

***This is another eagerly awaited (by my mom) collaboration with ELT Project.  ELT did this as an instrumental, and I pillaged it by adding vox, lyrics and harmonica.

WORLD SLOW DOWN

ELT/DWS - 2014

World -
slow down
It’s spinning so fast
my feet won’t touch the ground
If it would stop
for just one day
I’d have the chance to figure out
just what to say

Girl -
slow down
I can’t catch you movin’ and slippin’
all over town
there’s just so much I can do
at the speed of light
but if we slow it down
we can make it all just right

World - slow down

Boy -
slow down
Don’t let that mean ol’ world
drag you down
Like the water runs
beneath the ground
We slowly drink
and the world slows down

VACANT PLACES

ELT/DWS (2014)

Vacant places 
I can’t remember 
burn themselves into my memory

Empty eyes
and pie-plate faces
fill me by design

Vacant places
and fun filled spaces
the emptiness inside my brain 

Empty faces
they shuffle toward me
and inject me with their pride

And I......
I just can’t fill
I just cant feel
vacant places

Help me fill
these vacant places
and sign upon the dotted line

I cannot help you
I cannot fill you
your space is too far and wide 

These untold stories
that just keep screaming
locked away without a key 

you never know 
when that moment comes
to tear a hole into the fabric of your soul

And I......
I just can’t fill
I just cant feel
vacant places

Spit Inside Your Soul (with EMF)

****What a pleasure it was to work with two magnificent artists!   ELT Project, https://soundcloud.com/extremeloungeterror wrote this dreamy track as an instrumental and plays all the instruments.  Kellie Rowley, https://soundcloud.com/kellie-rowley sings (and I do mean SINGS!) and co-wrote the lyrics with DWS who also adds vocals.  Go visit Kellie and David’s profiles.  We hope you enjoy.

PLEASE BELIEVE ME

ELT/Kellie Rowley/DWS - 2016

Sarah
She came with a tight smile
reached around for awhile
then she brought me to my knees

Sarah
tastes like ice cream
she makes my dreams scream
and that’s all I really need

Please believe me
when I tell you
how much I care

Sarah
Cries each Friday
laughs on Monday
until Jesus asks her please

Sarah
(Do I play it alone?)
She set the dog free
(Do I play it safe?)
but she won’t listen to me
and that’s all I really need

I feel the same flame
standing close to you
and when you look at me that way
don't want to play another game
Please believe me
when I tell you 
how much I care

Tree Climbing
ELT/DWS - 2016

Underneath my finger nails
I smell your hair
your skin your smile  
But on my back I wear a sign 
that says hey stay away
I don’t guess we gonna find a better way
so we just keep tryin’
and tryin’
and tryin’

Tree Climbing

Sometimes we fuss and fight
you win, I win, its a tie tonight
And on your back you wear a sign
that says I never lie
I have to smile when you 
put me in my place 
so let’s keep tryin’
and tryin’
and tryin’

Tree Climbing 

Finally we’re all alone 
the night is warm lit by the moon
Outside my door I see a sign that says
I’m almost home 
I’d rather die than to think of losing you
so lets keep tryin’
and tryin’
and tryin’

IN THE WHOLE
(DWS — 2016)

Left my dirt behind 
those years ago
Tied up in plastic
but one never knows

It’s in the whole

I’m a planet drifting 
without control
Moving faster & faster 
into that black hole

I’m in the whole

I’m hot on one side 
My other side is ice
take my temperature
I can’t die twice

I’m in the whole

WAITING
(ELT/DWS - 2016)

Please don't leave me waiting
Waiting is something 
I don’t do so well 
Please don't leave me waiting
Here for you

Theres no hesitating
Knock on my door  
I'll let you come in
You hold the key to my heart 
So you can just walk in 

In the morning when I rise
And find that you're not there
I wonder where you were last night
and why I even care

Please don't leave me waiting
Waiting is something 
I don’t do so well
There's no hesitating
Come to me somehow  

In the morning when I rise
And find that you're not there
I wonder where you were last night
and why I even care

Please don't leave me waiting

MED LOST
(Mock Church/DWS)

I got my feet up moving and they're tapping the beat 
it's not coming from me it's the devil Pete 
I got to get up in the morning and I got to go 
I got this lady in the back seat and she's ready to go okay 

E I O and I'm ready to go okay 

It's like when I'm waking up in the morning I feel real low 
son you gotta understand you got something up in your head 
something like a man and it's dragging its dead 
you don't understand how to get the medicine 
and put it inside of that decay 

Up in the morning try to get it out 
try to ask the father for a devil's spout 
did you see that UFO above my head 
I said did did did did did dit did did did did you see that okay 
up in the morning and I don't understand 
what happened to me cuz my memory's slow OK 

E I O and I'm ready to go ok

The Red Dust
DWS - 2016


There’s a haze around me now
I can’t lose it
There’s a haze inside my brain
I can’t booze it
I think I may have slipped insane
I can’t help it
Oh there's nothing for me now 
I can feel it

You gotta get up
Yeah, you gotta get up
They said  you gotta get up 
gotta get up

The Red dust coming down on me 
and I breath it
Its flowing through my very veins
and I pump it
Feel like a super sick Superman
without a cool cape
And everything I eat is red
and it fills me

Right now
You gotta get up
Yeah, you gotta get up
They said  you gotta get up 
gotta get up 
Right now

The big red ball up in the sky
I know you’ve seen it
All my children ask me why
as they breath it
and the river runs as red as blood
and we drink it
Oh, the Red Dust is coming down on me

Right now 
You gotta get up
Yeah, you gotta get up
They said  you gotta get up 
gotta get up
Right now

Looked in Your Eyes and Saw the Sunrise

Cobi M/DWS (2013)

I whistle after dark
when I’m walking home alone
I whistle after dark
to kid myself I’m not alone

I whistle after dark
to chase the Moon away
I whistle after dark
so the stars have no say

Then I looked in your eyes
and saw the Sunrise

I whistle after dark
‘cause I lost the will to sing
I whistle after dark
until the telephone rings

I whistle after dark
after the birds have flown away
I whistle after dark
‘cause I don’t know what to say

Then I looked in your eyes
and saw the Sunrise

I whistle after dark
when I’m walking home alone
I whistle after dark 
to kid myself I’m not alone

Then I looked in your eyes
and saw the sunrise.

IT'S A FINE LINE


ELT/DWS (2013)

Right is wrong
wrong is right
it’s black and blue throughout the night
I pull it left and you push it right
we may love or we may fight

It’s such a fine line
it’s such a very fine line
It’s such a fine, fine line
a very very very fine line

Sky turns into sea
sea turns into sand
sand turns into me
Baby, I’m in you

Grey is black
Gray is white
Red, green and black throughout the night
I bet it loose and you play it tight
Let’s spin the ball and bring the lights

It’s such a fine line
it’s such a very fine line
It’s such a fine, fine line
a very very very fine line

Sky turns into sea
sea turns into sand
sand turns into me
Baby, I’m in you

Red is blue and
green is green
I’ll figure out just what you mean
all those colors I’ve never seen
eat each other when I dream

It’s such a fine line
it’s such a very fine line
It’s such a fine, fine line
a very very very fine line
