"Stay" is a deeply emotional and poignant song that touches the heart with its raw honesty and vulnerability. This soul-stirring track navigates the complex journey of grief and longing, following the loss of a loved one. With a blend of melancholic melodies and heartfelt lyrics, "Stay" resonates with anyone who has experienced the pain of separation. The song masterfully captures the essence of wanting more time with someone who has departed too soon. Its lyrics, "Oh, away, away, Today you flew away," and "I know you were in pain, so much pain every day," reflect a profound understanding of loss and the human condition. The chorus, "I wanted you to stay, to stay," echoes the universal desire to hold onto those we love. "Stay" is not just a song but a therapeutic embrace for those in mourning, offering a sense of solace and understanding in times of sorrow. The song's introspective nature and the authentic expression make it a remarkable piece that's likely to leave a lasting impact on its listeners.

Stay

A capella choirs often include gospel songs in their repertoire.  That can be challenging for singers who don't entirely share their sentiments.

Verse 1:
We're singing songs in harmony
All our voices clear and free
But somehow something doesn't feel quite right
I don't want to be offensive
Or sound like I’m being defensive
But there's something that I want to say tonight

Verse 2:
I'm a fan of gospel music
I love sound it makes
But I do not intend to deceive
Can't say that I feel proud
Singing Gospel songs out loud
I sing those words but I don't believe.

Chorus 1:
So I want equal time for those that don't believe
Songs that celebrate Reality
They don't need to rhyme
Or even take much time
Some non-believer's gospel songs
That's equal time

Verse 3:
If we sing about the holy ghost
I try to look sincere
But I wonder what I'm singing for
I might like the noise we make
And I could ignore the toll it takes
But I ain’t gunna sing about cheeses anymore.

Chorus 2:
So I want equal time for those that don't believe
Songs that celebrate Reality
They don't need to rhyme
Or even take much time
Some non-believer's gospel songs
That's equal time

Bridge:
If you don't believe in Zeus or Mars or Thor
Or any of the thousand gods who ruled the world before
Our beliefs are similar once you think it thru
I just believe in one god less than you.

Chorus 3:
So I want equal time for those that don't believe
Equal Time, Oh yes indeed
They don't need to rhyme
Or even take much time
Some non-believer's gospel songs
That's equal time

Outro:
Equal time, equal time
Equal time, equal time
Equal time, equal time
Some non-believer's gospel songs
That's equal time

Equal Time

This track reflects my personal journey, shaped by the values of karma and loyalty that I inherited from my mother.

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.
