"Best Of" A World of Musical Madness

This first song is a collaboration, that my wife inspired me to create.  She moved here (York, PA) from Hawaii because she loves me.  But I know she hates the cold and the snow and ice and especially driving in it.  I also know and that it gets her down. Touched by the fact that, "my queen" gave up living in paradise, close to her friends and family to be with me. . .well it really means a lot to me. This really hit home for me when she shared how she was driving home from work the other evening and swerved to miss a deer and her SUV spun around on the slippery, snowy roads. Thankfully she, her SUV (and the deer) were unharmed.

This happened about the same time, "A Complete Unknown", the Bob Dylan movie was getting ready to hit theatres. So, I chose to do this song with a little "Hawaiian Slack Guitar" vibe and sort of a "Dylanesque" vocal. It's not exactly Bob Dylan. . .but reminiscent, with hints of Hawaiian slack guitar mixed in. 

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Jen left the sun and the waves behind, In York PA, the white snow unwinds.
She traded "ALOHA" for a winter's chill, now every turn feels like an uphill thrill. 

But on these streets, she feels so confined, wishing for warmth where her heart's been mined. 

[Chorus] 
Oh Jen, the snow can't chain you down. Feel the rhythm, let it spin you around. 
From the island breeze to this frozen ground. You've got the strength to wear your crown.  

 [Verse 2]
With every snowfall, her courage declines, the roads get slippery, her heart unwinds. 
She dreams of beaches, of palm trees that sway. But here in the snow, she feels so grey.

Facing the fear with each passing day. Hoping to find her own daring way. 

[Chorus] 
Oh Jen, the snow can't chain you down. Feel the rhythm, let it spin you around. 
From the island breeze to this frozen ground. You've got the strength to wear your crown.  

[Outro] 
So, take the wheel, let the music play. 
Jen you'll find your own way, come what may.

Jen's Cold Journey

Jens Cold Journey

This is based on my stepson Josh, who used to play "Halo" with his friends online until 3 AM, even while he was in college. Afterwards, he joined the Navy and trained on different planes and helicopters and now he's far away and flies these huge birds. His mother and I are so proud of him.  And of course, there's a quick "laud" to his wife who stands by his side and is equally proud of him.

Lyrics
"From Gamer to Pilot"

[Verse 1]
In the glow of the screen at 3AM,  
Josh battled foes, never thought it was the end.  
From late night games to college dreams,  
Now he’s soaring high, or so it seems.

Oh Josh, you’ve gone so far,  
Reaching for the shining stars!

[Chorus]
Josh, you make us proud, oh yes, it’s true,  
From gamer nights to skies so blue.  
In every mission, love and honor stand,  
Forever you’ll be our brave Navy man!

[Verse 2]
With Shannon cheering, by his side,  
He took to the skies, full of pride.  
Flying helicopters over the sea,  
Oh how brave and bold he’ll always be.

Through every storm, you stay bright,  
A hero in your own right!

[Chorus]
Josh, you make us proud, oh yes, it’s true,  
From gamer nights to skies so blue.  
In every mission, love and honor stand,  
Forever you’ll be our brave Navy man!

[Outro]
Though distance may keep us apart,  
You’ll always be here in my heart.

From Gamer To Pilot

This song describes a man who is God-fearing, who has worked hard all his life to provide for his family, who took the time to teach his children the benefits and importance of hard work, and who showed them how to live off the land, how to work on and make automotive, electrical and plumbing repairs and more. This man has dedicated much of his life to learning more about and sharing the gospel of Jesus Chris with others. More specifically, this song is a birthday wish for him on his 88th birthday.  This man is my father! 

Lyrics 

"A Fathers Way"

[Verse 1]
My daddy rose before the sun, he’s out the door,

Worked hard all day, didn’t complain, never asked for more.

With his hands so calloused, he’d toil at his job,

Teaching me the ways, to work and never sob.

Faith in the Lord, he always instilled,

With every lesson, my heart was filled.

[Chorus]
Happy Birthday, Dad, you’re the heart of our home,

At eighty-eight years, you’ve never walked alone.

With faith as your guide, you’ve shown me the way,

The best father in the world, on this special day.

[Verse 2]
Evenings he’d return, the sun had set low,

To our little farm, where the sweet crops grow.

Building fences strong, tending to the land,

He showed me how to fish and use a steady hand.

He’s a man of God, his spirit shines bright,

With love and hard work, he fills up my life.

[Chorus]
Happy Birthday, Dad, you’re the heart of our home,

At eighty-eight years, you’ve never walked alone.

With faith as your guide, you’ve shown me the way,

The best father in the world, on this special day.

[Outro]
So, here’s to you, Dad, for all that you’ve done,

With love everlasting, you’re my only one.

[Chorus]
Happy Birthday, Dad, you’re the heart of our home,

At eighty-eight years, you’ve never walked alone.

With faith as your guide, you’ve shown me the way,

The best father in the world, on this special day.

A Fathers Way

This was Jeaniffer's first AI work, and I think it's amazing. I think this one hits close to home for her when it comes to all she deals with at her work.   Below are the Lyrics. 

"You Can't Please Everyone"

[Verse 1]
You wake up every mornin', thinkin' 'bout your grind,
Tryin' to bring the sunshine, but you're feelin' blind,

No matter what you do, someone’s left behind,
But your heart’s gotta shine, yeah, it’s one of a kind.

So let the doubts fade, just rise above it all.

[Chorus]
You can’t please everyone, so let it go,
Just keep your light shining, let your true self show,

When the day is done, you know you gave your best,
Find the peace inside, let your soul find rest.

[Verse 2]
In the office chatter, hear the whispers ring,
Trying to don the armor, but it starts to sting,

Juggling all the madness, they expect you to bring,
Remember to breathe deep, let your spirit sing.

Just hold your head high, you’re doing what you can.

[Chorus]
You can’t please everyone, so let it go,
Just keep your light shining, let your true self show,

When the day is done, you know you gave your best,
Find the peace inside, let your soul find rest.

[Outro]
So dance to your own beat, don’t let it go to waste,
You’re enough in this life, with your own heartfelt grace.

You Cant Please Everyone.mp3

Self-Explanatory. . .See Lyrics Below: 

I've been lonely all these years, I can't deny  
My heart's been aching, my eyes run dry  

Every night I dream of what I've lost  
And now, willing to find it no matter the cost.

I'm gonna find the flame. that lights my way 
So I can feel alive again, starting today.

I’m searching for that love, the kind that grows and grows,  
And we'll feel it, from my head down to her toes.  

When I feel that magic, I won't let it go  
In her arms and her touch, I’ll let this love flow

Looking for that sweetness, got my eyes peeled  
Just a taste of passion, can’t be concealed  

With curves that sway, she’s like a song  
When she rocks my world, i know I'm where I belong

She’ll take me high, like a summer breeze  
Wrap me up tight, put my heart at ease.

I’m searching for that love, the kind that grows and grows
And we'll feel it, from my head down to her toes. 

When I feel that magic, I won't let it go  
In her arms and her touch, I’ll let this love flow

[Outro]
So here I go on this wild quest  
Chasin' that dream, and I’m feeling blessed.

Say, did I go on this wild quest? 
Chasin' that dream, and I’m feeling blessed.

Finding The Flame

If you've ever had a friend or family member that you've reached out to repeatedly for years, who doesn't seem to reciprocate or want to have anything to do with you, and you have finally given up trying, this song is for you.  

"I've Already Let Go"

Lyrics: 
[Verse1]
I reached my hand out, oh so many times,
But each time you made me feel like i was committing a crime.

You turned your back, I stood there in vain,
The silence you left cut me deeper than almost any other pain.

Now I’m locking the door, turning off  the light,
This was my last try, I’m done,  I'm giving up this fight.

[Chorus]
So I’m cutting the ties, now we’re worlds apart,
You had your chances, but no more, now I’m guarding my heart.

Block you forever, just like I never knew you,
I’m walking away. It’s my life and what I must do.

[Verse2]
A decade has passed, and I’ve found my peace,
You’re just a shadow,  now I’ll finally release.

I’ll fade in the night, I won't hear your call,
The caring you wanted was a two-way street, after all.

You’ll look for me then, but I won’t be around,
When you finally see what you lost, I'll  be in the ground.

[Chorus]
So I’m cutting the ties, now we’re worlds apart,
You had your chances, now I’m guarding my heart.

Block you forever, just like I never knew you,
I’m walking away. It’s my life and what I must do.

[Outro]
So, goodbye to the past, it's too late to show, that you want me in your life,  'cause I wont let it uh flow.   

So, goodbye to the past, it's too late to show, that you want me in your life,  
'cause I've already let go.

Ive Already Let Go

Generations of millennials, gen-z'ers and gen-alpha are out there, unable to have simple, face-to-face conversations with others.  They're unable to emotionally connect with others and are so wrapped up within their own ego's that they now need "safe spaces" with coloring books and crayons on college campuses.  They need "cry rooms" where they can go, just to avoid allowing anyone to see one ounce of emotion from them. Then, with COVID, it seems like this dysfunction spread, and affected other generations, all the way back to baby-boomers.  We started working remotely, and got so used to the separation, we don't want to go to our friends houses or to parties anymore.  And when people DO finally get together, they're all staring at their phones.  We've all become SO DISCONNECTED! This song is about getting back to our face-to-face interactions, parties, dinners with friends and family, at re-learning (or for gen z'ers and gen-alphas, learning for the first time) the ART of conversation and discovering what it means to be empathetic and to love someone other than yourself! 

Lyrics to "Disconnected"

[Verse 1]
We used to laugh, under the stars shining bright,

Now we’re stuck with screens, missing out on the light.

Friends at the door, sharing stories and dreams,

But now it’s just clicks, and lonely routines.

Let’s break these walls, come back together,

[Chorus]
Let’s get back to the roots, face to face,

Remove all these screens, let’s find our place.

Building deeper bonds, eye contact and care,

Let’s bring back the laughter, the love that we share!

[Verse 2]
Once we’d gather, with food and good wine,

Now we’re isolated, lost in the grind.

A text instead of a hug, a "Like" for a smile,

We forgot how to connect, it’s been a long while.

Still we can change, let’s turn it around,

[Chorus]
Let’s get back to the roots, face to face,

Remove all these screens, let’s find our place.

Building deeper bonds, eye contact and care,

Let’s bring back the laughter, the love that we share!

[Outro]
So put down your phone, let’s reconnect,

In this world of chaos, we’ll find our respect.

Disconnected

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When I was a young man, dreams were all I knew,  
 Chasing cityscapes and neon lights, with skylines in view.
But the noise soon swallowed me up, pulled me into the mad rush
 Now I find my peace in sun-kissed fields, where there's a quiet hush. 

Time has changed my heart, found what truly shines,  
 In the quiet, I hear the whispers of the pines.

[Chorus]
Give me the country roads, where the wildflowers grow,  
 Where the stars paint the night, and the warm breezes blow.  
No more the city’s pulse, replaced by birds’ singing melodies so sweet,
 In the heart of the country, I’ve found my home, a quiet retreat. 

[Verse2]
The skyline’s lost its magic, it’s all just shades of grey,  
 While the rivers sparkle and call me back each day.  
Those heartless streets feel empty when I pass them by,  
 So I'm trading the rush for stillness, under this big blue sky.

People stop to greet you, how they listen and they care,  
 In the arms of nature and beauty beyond compare. 

[Chorus]
Give me the country roads, where the wildflowers grow,  
 Where the stars paint the night, and the warm breezes blow.  
No more the city’s pulse, just the birds’ singing melodies so sweet,  
 In the heart of the country, I’ve found my home, a quiet retreat.

[Outro]
So here I’ll rest my soul, no longer to roam,
 In nature's arms, near friends and family, I've found my way back home.

I Found My Way Back Home

Lyrics - Never Ending Grace

[Verse 1]  

In the pages of my Bible, the truth I see.  His word matching evidence in perfect harmony.  

The fabric of life, stitched by His hand.  Patterns emerge, in a tapestry,  so grand. 

His grace, a river that washes us pure.  In accepting the gift, we need nothing more.


[Chorus] 

Thank God for grace, unearned yet divine.  When I agree with His promise, salvation is mine. 

Jesus, our Savior, the way, and the light. Guiding our souls as our spirits take flight.


[Verse 2]

From the depths of our sin, He raised us high.  With love so profound, it never runs dry,  

In the shadow of the cross, our burdens cease. Through the sacrifice He made, we find our peace.

Historical truth, in His name, we proclaim.  The path to salvation, forever the same.

[Chorus] 

Thank God for grace, unearned yet divine.  When I agree with His promise, salvation is mine. 

Jesus, our Savior, the way, and the light. Guiding our souls as our spirits take flight.


[Chorus Repeats] 

Thank God for grace, unearned yet divine.  When I agree with His word, salvation is mine. 

Jesus, our Savior, the way, and the light. Guiding our souls as our spirits take flight.


[Outro]

Endless is His mercy, forever He will reign.  In the book of life, that's where you'll find my name.

This song is about how we all live, love, and unfortunately must face pain in our lives. It's inevitable. And even though we may not know the answers to questions, we can be at peace, knowing things unfold according to God's plan if we just have faith.  It's also a testament to family and friends who are always there when we face those trials and tribulations.

"Unanswered Questions"

[Verse 1]
In this life we lead, there’s a rhythm we dance.  Moments of joy, we take the chance.

Yet shadows of pain can darken our way.  Still, in our hearts, we find light to stay.

Weather the storm, with hope as our guide.

[Chorus]
Through the laughter and tears, we hold on tight. With family and friends, we find our light. 

Though pain may arrive, we won't walk alone. In this journey of life, we always find hope.

[Verse 2]
Every question we ask, sometimes goes unanswered. Love surrounds us, through the nights that are bantered.

With every tear shed, we grow, and we learn, Trust in His timing, for the tables will turn.

Faith brings us strength, when the path is unclear.

[Chorus]
Through the laughter and tears, we hold on tight. With family and friends, we find our light.

Though pain may arrive, we won't walk alone. In this journey of life, we always find hope.

[Outro]
So let it unfold, trust in His plan.

Through all of it, together we stand. . .In this life we lead, there’s a rhythm we dance. Moments of joy, we take the chance.

Yet shadows of pain can darken our way. Still, in our hearts, we always find hope.

Unanswered Questions

This song is about a girl who used to be caring and kind.  She was also really smart. But the older she got, the more she looked down the end of her nose at others.  Her friends, family, and everyone who ever helped her out suddenly became useless. So she abandoned them all emotionally.  Then, when she entered the workforce for the first time, with that same attitude,  she learned a really tough lesson;  if you treat people badly, you're going to be on your own. No one will help you once they figure out you're a user.  And when you can't fit in with others, you'll be out on the street, alone. In this case, co-workers left a broken crown on her desk on the day she was fired, mocking her for thinking she was a queen and acting like they were all her servants.  Maybe one day she'll learn that she should treat others with respect, caring, kindness, and love, the way others treated her before she became high and mighty, or what folks in the country might call, 'snooty'.  

[Lyrics]
She Abandoned Herself

[Verse 1]
She was a star in every class, so bright,  
Numbers danced like fireflies at night.  
Sweet laughter echoed down the halls,  
But now that joy is lost in her walls.

Once held hands with hope, now closed tight,  
A sky so clear, now a storm in flight.

[Chorus]
Oh, where did the girl with a heart go?  
Now she's just shadows, lost in the show.  
Isolation, wreckage of her own design,  
Once so sweet, now she’s crossed the line.

[Verse 2]
She climbed the peaks, now she looks down low,  
Forgot the roots where her kind heart used to grow.  
She shut the door on love, left it far behind,  
In her castle of pride, she's lost her mind.

A queen on a throne made of greed,  
Forgets that love's the only need.

[Chorus]
Oh, where did the girl with a heart go?  
Now she's just shadows, lost in the show.  
Isolation, wreckage of her own design,  
Once so sweet, now she’s crossed the line.

[Outro]
In the silence, she'll find her alone,  
With all her brilliance, she's lost her home.
   

She Abandoned Herself

Lonely Souls At Midnight


[Verse 1]
In the corner of the bar, I hear their sighs,
Whispers of the heart, where the silence lies.

Faces pass me by, shadows of despair,
Searching for a sign in the cold night air.

Why do we seek comfort in the unknown?

[Chorus]
So many lonely souls out in the night,
Reaching out for warmth, for a spark of light.

But in the heavy silence, they feel so lost,
Trying to find a home, no matter the cost.

[Verse 2]
Every phone call rings, it's a lonely tune,
Tales of broken dreams beneath the silver moon.

They reach for my hand, though we’ve never met,
In a world full of noise, they’re drowning in regret.

Just a stranger’s smile can ease the pain.

[Chorus]
So many lonely souls out in the night,
Reaching out for warmth, for a spark of light.

But in the heavy silence, they feel so lost,
Trying to find a home, no matter the cost.

[Outro]
We’re all just searching for a way to feel,  
In this world of shadows, can the heart heal?

 A soothing melody that calms all fear

Our hearts beating as one, a rhythm so true

The Wedding Song For My Love

[Lyrics]
Baby Girl

This is a song about how proud a mother and I are of her daughter and now, since we're miles apart, we miss her. 
It's done in the style of K-pop group "Black-Pink", but this is sung by an all-girl anime group called, "White-Purple".
Enjoy.

[Intro]
Jenna-Lynn, oh how the palm trees sway,
 Jenna-Lynn, shines like the sun's first ray.

[Verse 1]
In the islands where the palm trees sway,
 Jenna-Lynn shines like the sun's first ray.

From a little girl with a heart so bright,
 To a driven woman chasing dreams in flight.

Oh, the years have come and gone,
 But in our hearts your laughter lingers on.

[Chorus]
Jenna-Lynn, oh how we miss you so,
 Across the miles our love will always show.

Though we're far apart, we're proud of all you’ve done,
 You’re our heart, our daughter, our only one.

[Verse 2}
Remember days, taking you to school,
 A straight "A" student following every rule.

To band concerts, track meets and dances you'd go.
 Yet focused on your future, and the life you now know.

Now you're grown, with the world at your feet,
 But you’re still our baby girl, so kind and sweet.

[Chorus]
Jenna-Lynn, oh how we miss you so,
 Across the miles our love will always show.

Though we're far apart, we're proud of all you’ve done,
 You’re our heart . . . our daughter . . . our only one.

[Outro]
Jenna-Lynn, oh how we miss you so,
 Across the miles our love will always show.
Though we're far apart, we're proud of all you’ve done,
 You’re our heart . . . our daughter . . . our only one.

Baby Girl

I think there are a LOT of men and women out there who have felt stuck, trapped, empty and alone; even while being right next to someone else.  Someone who for whatever reason can't or won't give you what you need to feel alive.  If they were cheaters or liars, then maybe leaving would be easy. But what if it's someone whose just "broken" and you realize you can't "fix" them, no matter how hard you've tried?  What if that someone doesn't even comprehend what it means to be close, to be emotionally intimate with you without saying or doing something to sabotage things? And when do you call it quits and escape? A year? 5 years? A decade, or how about 13 years?  13 years of knowing the day they they married you, that it was because they thought you were a nice person, maybe someone who could provide, while at the same time, feeling NO PASSION for you, because they are still in love with the GHOST of someone they have promoted to sainthood when they pass away? A person can't compete against ghosts. Or the continuing thoughts and feelings for someone else, while they are right there in front of you.  This song addresses the need to break free when YOU KNOW, in your heart, 100%, that this person will never change, because they CAN'T -- because they're broken.  

[Lyrics]
Survival Instinct 

[Verse1]
I’ve been planning my escape, gotta break these chains,  
Cleaning out the memory, all the hurt and pains.  
Her scars run deep, too deep to mend,  
But Intimacy's like air to me, and she just can’t comprehend.  
  
[Prechorus1]
I’ve given my all, but I’m fading away,  
Her ghosts are her captives, I can’t take away.  
I need to remember my heart has a voice,  
And breaking these chains is my only choice.  

[Chorus]  
More than a decade of rejection, is just too much,  
Resentment fills my heart, for a stranger I can't touch.  
Friends and family, please don't judge, just understand my plea,  
It's my survival instinct that's driving me to break free.  

  
[Verse2]
She was too young to resist, too broken to be whole,  
I thought love could fix her heart, now it’s crushing my soul.  
She's stuck with the memories that haunt her everyday,  
All the ghosts of her past have locked her heart away.  

  
[Prechorus2]
God knows I don't blame her, for all she had to endure.  
But she's an unemotional taker, and I deserve so much more.  
No more ties to the broken, no more tears to release,  
I’m ready to run, to finally find peace.  

  
[Chorus}
More than a decade of rejection, it's just too much,  
Resentment fills my heart, for a stranger I can't touch.  
Friends and family, please don't judge, just understand my plea,  
It's my survival instinct that's driving me to break free.  

  
[Bridge]
I need a brand-new start, a life that feels alive,  
I can’t compete with the ghosts she won’t let go; I need to survive.  

[Outro]  
I’m leaving the shadows, stepping into the dawn,  
The weight of her ghosts will be forever gone.  
A brand-new horizon, a place to begin,  
I’m planning my escape, it’s my peace that I WIN!

Survival Instinct

I'm just creating music with the tools I have at my disposal, hoping the stories I weave will resonate with others. I have multiple albums out there.  "It's All About Family", is a collection of songs specifically for family members. "Songs from the Heart" is the start of my wife's album, since she's been bitten by the artistic bug.  I also have an album called, "Melodic MishMash", which are songs that weren't really for public consumption, that I needed a place to put.   Finally, the album that I am working on now, is my first country album, called, "Unloading Zone".  Please click "Library" to pull up each album and have a listen.  I'd also love any feedback.  Thanks.
