Songs That Need Repeating!

Reflections on like, growing old, a little sad, but I think we all share emotions of good and bad times.

I Don,t Like Tomorrow Today

All The Headlights

You yes you’re living in a cage
You’re bouncing off the bars
But it’s my ribs and tissue that’s inflammed
Yes it’s I who’s watching for your car
My roots are deep here in the west
Invested here I have to stay
But you got gypsy in your blood
Your fiddles playing the sounds of Spain
And so I’m watching yes I’m watching
All the headlights - all the headlights
Oh I’m watching yes I’m watching 
All the headlights - all the headlights
Coming up over the hill - hoping that one of them is you

Though you’ve had a travelling circus life
You been courting stability
And I’ve been prostrate at your feet
I been licking your toes to sleep
And though you bathe in pleasures warm
I sense our wine is running dry
I know as you commute each morn
You’re not the type to say goodbye
And so I’m watching  . . . you

This evening’s sky is coal dust cloud
You’re late and I’m a clairvoyant
This house empty of all sound 
This house is empty
This house is empty

ALL THE HEADLIGHTS

This is a Raw recording of this song which captures the emotion of the moment and I decided to leave it as is due to sentiment.   
The heart wants what it wants..  ☀️🌻
Three things remain: Hope, Faith and Love.. but the greatest of all.. is Love.     

Lyrics:

I know you’re tired love
You ache in your bones
You walk home alone..
But i’ll  be here when you walk through the door
In my arms you will be reborn

You question all things love
But love never fails
You ask how you got here
Yet the road we all take is the same
But I’ll walk by your side all the way

Love never fails.. Love
Just open your eyes
And when you are falling
I’ll swoop in like a Robin each time

Our heaven is here love
in each others arms
You’re mine and I’m yours love,  
every thought, every kiss, every moan,
rise again through the love we have known

Love never fails.. Love
Just open your eyes
And when you are falling
I’ll swoop in like a Robin each time
Oh Love never fails..  My Love
I’m two steps behind..
And when you are broken
I’m your Angel, I’ll heal you each time,
Love never fails … My Love.
Love never fails..

Love Never Fails

Gentle Annie (Stephen C. Foster, 1856) [cover/version]

Written and lead singing by Randy Arnold, who was our group leader.  
Old tracks from late 90s band Morry and I were members of - Ten Months Later. Morry played lead guitar and I played rhythm guitar and sang back up vocs. The main singer is our friend Randy Arnold who wrote this song. Other bandmates: Yandell Wood (Drums) and Matt Garlove (Bass), along with other friends. Recorded mainly in Matt's basement. Sadie Hawkins Dance was the name of the album.

Don't Get To Deal (10ML)

put a little uke on this oldie

All the waiting
Summer has come and gone
So quickly
We find ourselves back where we started
Your frustration
Is hardly imagined, I imagine
In this world, the will to survive's amazing

I'd like to tell you that something's going to give
But you alone must ride this wave angry kid
I understand that it's not easy to live
But something's bound to give

Please take no offense
The words that are said mere reflections
Of these events
Regrettable
Young hearts get
Hardened too soon on this journey
Hard wired
For recovery

Written and recorded 3rd January 2021

My first jam and recording session of the year... another song based on an improv with my bouzouki, which is the main rhythm instrument in this track.

After a difficult year, and a socially distanced Christmas and New Year, the only solace is knowing that we are doing what we can to keep each other safe.

Lyrics:

These darkened days
We've stayed away...

A small price to pay
To keep each other safe

No face to face
No meeting place

A small price to pay
To keep each other safe

We'll join again
Some glorious day

A small price to pay
To keep each other safe

Safe

Leave

A million thanks to Nat for her gorgeous vocals here. This song is for the soldiers who risk their lives for us and get nothing in return but mockery. We hate war and want our boys back home. But those who fight for us deserve respect and recognition.

Politicians sent our boys to war
to a place they've never been before
I'd like to send the old guys instead
to make them think about a senseless death

Hey, this is no game, you have no right to waste their lives
hey, have you no shame, you wouldn't dare to be on the other side

Defend their country - that's all they should do
but there is so much more you send them through
how can you make them fight in foreign lands
cause you know pretty well how that will end

Don't leave them alone
bring our boys back home

Badly traumatised when they return
rejected by the people makes them burn
they risk their lives but mockery's all they earn
will the politicians ever learn?

They deserve respect, please act like that and honour them
give them all they need to find their way in life again

Don't leave them alone    
bring our boys back home

Home  ft. NAT DANIELS

Lyrics:

Warming underneath a blanket in the campfire glow,
Offering a touch of comfort to someone I didn’t know.
I fell in love, I fell in love, I fell in love
For a moment.

Huggin’ in the damp air, harmonizing a hymn,
Feeling a communion growing as the night set in,
I fell in love, I fell in love, I fell in love
For a moment.

A crush is easy when it comes then goes away,
Its brutal romance is just a play,
But in that moment it’s a passionate cliché,
You hope will stay.

Falling for that accent, and those pale blue eyes, 
The laughter and romantic music were a shrill disguise,
So I fell in love, I fell in love, I fell in love
For a moment.

A crush is easy when it comes then goes away,
Its brutal romance is just a play,
But in that moment it’s a passionate cliché,
That can always stay.

(Instrumental then):

I fell in love, I fell in love, I fell in love
For a moment.

For A Moment

Martin contacted me with the title of the song in his mind...he wanted me to put his excellent acoustic recording track with some lyrics.
I was glad to offer my ideas and the result was a true folk song of modernity.
I hope you enjoy our collaboration.

Give Me More Than A Second w/Martin Hirsch

Martin wrote this incredible instrumental track, and when he invited me to write words and a vocal melody to his song, I couldn't resist.  He is immensely talented, and it's been my honour to work with him on this song.  Please check out his music on this link:  Martin Hirsch https://soundcloud.com/martin-hirsch-656665916

Lyrics:   Where Are You Now (I Surrender) 🌻☀️

Darling ain’t no use, to try and let you go..
Because your sweet touch lingers in my bones
You said all the right words to make me believe and in that surrender
You brought me to my knees…

Adept at discretion, you made it easy to dwell,
But like an assassin, you knew me too well..
And I let my guard down, went out on a ledge 
But where are you now? When all has been said…

I stare at that shimmer, that glides on the waves
I swear I can hear you calling my name
And there in that whisper of a slow midnight breeze
I surrender, but you’re not here with me…

I wasn’t used to love, and may at times seemed cold
But somehow you saved me from the dark in my soul..
But where are you now when I finally believe ?
Oh I surrender unto the dream…
Baby I surrender unto the dream.

Where Are You Now

Hello everybody . A while ago I heard Nat Daniel's voice on Facebook and SoundCloud. I immediately fell in love with the voice. Nat is an extraordinary female singer. I asked Nat if she would like to add her wonderful voice to one of my songs and write the lyrics for it. Nat said yes and that's the result. So Nat, thank you for your wonderful and beautiful collaboration, thank you very much

Never See The Cliff Until I Fall                  c. 2021 M. A. Manetz

V1
When the cuckoo calls they say it's gonna rain.
The whistle marks the comin' of the train.
But when I woke up this mornin',
My love was gone without a warnin',
And it hit me just like a hurricane.

V2
When the mornin' sun turns the sky to red,
Sailors know storm clouds lie ahead,
I never looked to the the horizon,
Should have come as no surprise when,    
She left me in this cold and lonely bed.

Chorus
I never see the writing on the wall.
Only see what I wanna see, when I see at all.
Like Wiley Coyote when ol' Roadrunner calls,
Never see the cliff until I fall.

V3
They say that love will set you free.
Free isn't what I wanna be.
Love is blind, fools rush in, 
I'll get back up, start again, 
Find a love who loves as blind as me.

Chorus

Tag
Like Wiley Coyote givin' it his all,
Never see the cliff until I fall.

Never See The Cliff Until I Fall
