"A little bit of alright" was a phrase that I wrote in my notebook a long time ago. I had no idea what to do with it but I kinda liked the phrase and thought there might be a song in there somewhere.  That was a few years back.  More recently the phrase "nothing's truly black, nothing's black as all that" occurred to me in an unrelated context.  Once they two phrases found their way to the same piece of paper this song popped out.   No deep meaning, just a, hopefully, catchy tune.

Lyrics:
Nothing’s truly black, nothing black as all that.  You can aways find a touch of gray.  
It’s really not so much, just he tiniest touch. Hard to see but it’s always that way,
No matter how dark, and it can get very dark, the stars still find their way through
No matter how old and dreary the story, if you listen you might find something new

There’s a little bit of Alright
Nothing’s ever really that bad
After  midnight on a dark night
There's still a little bit of light to be had       

When you feel low and you swear that you don’t know why you should be feeling like this
It’s probably just the blues but you keep looking for clues you’re sure there must be something you missed
Why don’t you take a moment maybe more than a moment - give yourself a chance to think it all through
No doubt you can cope  you got good reason to hope - that somehow you’ll figure out  what to  do.

There’s a little bit of Alright
Nothing’s ever really that bad
When you’re freezing on a cold night
There's still a little bit of heat to be had       


If you wake into sadness in the middle of your darkest night
Remember that even in the sadness you can find a little bit of alright


If you you’re feeling shy just trying to get by, you’re feeling kinda lonesome and alone 
Feeling pretty flat don’t know what to do ‘bout that. There’s no point of even leaving your home
Maybe think again take a moment count to ten how long since you have been anywhere?
You could get out and meet someone, try your hand at having fun - you’ll find that there's alright everywhere

There’s a little bit of Alright
Nothing’s ever really that bad
When you’re freezing on a cold night
There's still a little bit of heat to be had       

There’s a little bit of Alright
Seems to me it’s always around
Feeling lonely on a hard night
There’s still a little bit of love  to be found       

There’s a little bit of Alright
Seems to me it’s always around
Feeling lonely on a hard night
There’s still a little bit of love  to be found

AI 'Build-A-Cyth' - Prompt_To_Image Challenge:

'An extreme close-up portrait of a light-skinned, blonde, blue-eyed, female at twenty-four years of age which exhibits a symmetrical cranial contour with prominent zygomatic arches and a gently tapered mandible. Supraorbital ridges frame deep-set orbits, housing irises of pale cerulean. A convex nasal bridge leads to rounded alae. Vermilion borders are full, with a defined philtrum. Epidermis is smooth, lightly freckled; pilose extensions cascade in golden waves. The hairstyle is voluminous and slightly tousled, featuring blonde highlights. The makeup is subtle, with soft eyeshadow and rosy lipstick. Her expression is neutral with hint of a faint smile. The colors are muted and natural.' ---> Et voilà. - It's Me! 👀...'Cyth'

The Last Human Songwriters 

How sad to realize that we are in the last days of the human race. Meaning the final Composers, Artist & Performer are currently on this planet. Ai will be responsible for all the muzak within five years. They are weaning emotions out of music. 

We are humanity’s last breath. Let’s remind them future trans humans of what they lost. If they are ever allowed to hear it at all. We need to leave our Mark! 

My name is Dave Hanrahan. I was born and raised in Watertown, Massachusetts. I was the only son in a family of four children. At 7 years old my father was killed. I was the only son and now I would navigate my life rudderless. An alien in the house of estrogen. It was the weekend the Beatles played Ed Sullivan, February 9, 1964. Thus tying my life to theirs. Instant male role models. 

At 20, I was serving in the Navy. I was stationed at NAS Whidbey Island, Wa. In 1976. When I was heading into my barracks I heard someone playing Hotel California across from me. I met my mentor that day, Terry Walters. I bought a Yamaha 6 string acoustic guitar and one music book. The Beatles Compleat. I practice for hours upon hours. After a few months I wanted to try writing. On my first attempt I wrote 3 songs.  I believe I found patterns in playing only the Beatles for those first few years. I was off and running. 

I am a singer/songwriter from a different era. I had written close to 80 songs when I laid everything down to become a husband and a father in 1989. I laid it down because I desired a family more then anything in life, certainly more then fame.  My Guitar I had written the majority of those songs on was stolen and I walked away. 

In November of 2019, I unpacked my instruments after a 30 year hiatus. I bought a Taylor 12 String and began to earn my calluses. I wasn't certain if I could even recall the chords to most of my music. It was all in my head. I can't read or write a note to this day. Muscle memory I was happy to find is a fact even after 30 years. My musician friend Dean when I told him my 1977 Giannini Craviola 12 String got stolen in 1987. He asked me if I checked eBay. This is 32 years later. That is a rare guitar. I went on eBay that day and found it. It was my serial number. 

I began practicing countless hours a day for about six weeks when suddenly, a song popped into my head. It was in a style that even I was unfamiliar with. My Giannini and I picked up where We left off. Then Covid gave me more time to practice. I haven't stopped writing since that day just over three and a half years ago. I have well over 50 more songs to produce to ensure my entire catalog has been recorded. I have that many on my page for all to hear now for free.

 Vision 👀
To create a new Music Industry run and operated by Human Artists only. I am a Life Path 1, so have no doubt I will get it done or it’s artificial intelligence soulless Muzak for everybody. New artist are being ignored. This is by design. Music comes from the heart. Filled with emotions which A. I. The heartless, soulless machine with never be able to produce. Music is a force of creation given by The Creator. The Authentic Intelligence God. 

I am here to do a job, At my juncture in life I hope it obvious it isn’t for the fame and fortune. We are musicians and artists first and foremost. We are those who help steer the collective consciousness. I picked up this mantle in December of 1980. The night I wrote ‘Dear John’. 

Music is a force for creation.

I write songs.  I'm not a performer any more than I need to be to have my songs heard once in a while. I hope that better musicians than I encounter my songs and decide to play them.  I just write songs to have them exist in the world. If the world likes them then the world can do with them what it will.  All these recordings are demos.  I've tried to make them as musically interesting as I can but they are all awaiting the skilled hand of someone who knows how to make songs shine.
