 (Lyrics below) I’m learning to really appreciate Colorado after moving here from Pennsylvania. Musically, this song actually began as a lesson for a couple piano students on the differences of the Dorian and the D minor scales. Simultaneously, I was studying the programming of my Novation Summit synthesizer and had come up with a sound that made a great track for the melody. Around this same period, I wrote a poem in response to several visits to nearby trails and parks in Colorado. The poem presents a colorful response to the abundant nature in Colorado. With some adjustments to the music and lyrics, an electronic ambient song began to form. My neighbor, George Clementi, performed for many years with a country band throughout Colorado. He offered to sing and refine the vocal melody. In addition, we recorded him playing many acoustic and electric guitar riffs, and solo in the bridge, that I could use to build the arrangement with Pro Tools. My wife Janet sings backup vocals on the chorus. Once the song was completed, I added many of my video clips and photos that could be assembled with Final Cut Pro X into a nature video.
LYRICS
VERSE1
Splashes of blue. Patches of green,
Many small waves wash the rocks in the stream.
VERSE2
White foaming swirls. Water’s fresh sounds.
Dirt at my feet reveal shades of brown.
CHORUS1
When the day ends, I look to the sky.
Secrets of nature, I need not know why.
VERSE3
Flowers of purple, yellow and red,
Peek through the forest from meadows ahead.
VERSE4
Hints of pink in clouds of white.
The sun heats the day making colors more bright.
CHORUS2
When the day ends, I look to the sky.
Secrets of nature, I need not know why.
VERSE5
Rainbows reflect off the pond in the cove.
Hues burst from edges along this old road.
VERSE6
Mountains shadow sunset’s last show.
The fragrance of evening fill valleys below.
CHORUS3
As night approaches, there’s gray in the sky.
Secrets of nature, I need not know why.

YouTube has pictures from the farm days: youtu.be/2LV-Y6N6LLs
In the 1980's I made a radical change to my life by purchasing registered Holstein dairy cows and renting a farm. It was a hard way to make a living, but I was passionate. Paths eventually led to computers, but I still think about those days.
The song was purposely simple and written as an acoustic guitar ballad with some organ solo at the bridge.
VERSE1
In the quiet of the misty morning,
All is still as the new day is forming.
There’s dew on the grass as the sun starts glowing.
I look ‘cross the hills and I am smiling.
CHORUS
A way of life on the farm.
There were hardships, but there was charm.
Despite the work, it’s where I belong.
Memories come back as I sing this song
VERSE2
The land was poor and the nutrients gone.
Endless chores that were never done.
Dairy cows, chickens, cats, and a dog.
Lives to care for, and lots of love.
VERSE3
A dream and a passion for many years,
Plenty of happiness and plenty of tears.
We got strength from each other, to face all our fears,
But the farm was a struggle and forced new careers.

LYRICS
VERSE1
Wind fills the air.
Which way will it blow?
Decisions to make.
Which way should I go?
PRE-CHORUS1
Making a choice.
What should I chose?
Perhaps I will win.
Perhaps I will lose.
CHORUS1
Waves roll’n in,
And out with the tide.
Perhaps I will choose
Not to decide.
VERSE2
Clouds in the sky,
Change shape floating by.
Never the same,
And neither am I.
PRE-CHORUS2
The sun or the moon,
How can you chose?
One comforts at night;
One warms us at noon.
CHORUS2
Waves roll’n in,
And out with the tide.
Perhaps I will choose
Not to decide.
VERSE3
Trees plant their roots
Firm in the ground,
But I have my feet
To carry me ‘round
PRE-CHORUS3
My dreams always change
That’s part of the fun.
To make life exciting
And not hurt anyone.
CHORUS3
Waves roll’n in,
And out with the tide.
Perhaps I will choose
Not to decide.
Perhaps I will choose
Not to decide.

VERSE1
Woke up this morning. Rise and shine.
Grab my phone. Look at the time.
Well, alright, it’s still dark outside. 
But get the coffee brewing. Time to get to it.
A new day. Complete tranquility.
A new outlook with limitless possibilities.
Hop in the shower. Time - I can’t waste it.
I step out. I’m reinvigorated.
Take a deep breath. Exhale - no stress.
Let a thought come. Decide my next step.
Got the whole world in my fingertips.
Now I’m “zone-in.” Oh, what a morning.
HOOK
Woke up this morning. It was like:
I had a brand new lease on life.
Nothing going wrong. It’s all just right.
I got the whole world in my sights.
Woke up this morning, feeling nice.
Woke up this morning, feeling right.
Woke up this morning, feeling like:
I got the whole world in my sights.
REFRAIN
It was so beautiful. It was magic.
The sun rose. I felt fantastic.
The rise in the sky; so enormous.
I’m up now.
Good morning!
Good morning!
Good morning!
VERSE2
Two hours ago, I was in bed.
Two hours ago, I got the whole day ahead.
Well, alright, it’s sunny outside.
Big puffy white clouds. Beautiful sky.
I’m alive and I feel amazing.
I can’t describe it, but I embrace it.
Capture the moment, like I own it.
Now I’m flowing. Off and “zone-in.”
Take a deep breath. Incredible, right?
Got the whole world in my sights.
Oh, what a morning. Would have missed it for nothing.
Now think about that, before you hit that snooze button.
HOOK2
Woke up this morning. It was like:
I had a brand new lease on life.
Nothing going wrong. It’s all just right.
I got the whole world in my sights.
Woke up this morning, feeling nice.
Woke up this morning, feeling right.
Woke up this morning, feeling like:
I got the whole world in my sights.
Good morning!
Good morning!
Good morning!

LYRICS
Verse 1
Woke up this morning ‘bout half past four.
Stopped me in the hallway before I reached the door.
“You never seem to pay attention when I want to talk.”
“You always say you’re tired when I ask you for a walk.”
“I need to know you love me ‘cause I’m not too sure.”
“One more thing, Baby, that hurts me to the core,
You seem a little distant and you don’t call me ‘Baby’ no more.”
Verse 2
What you think you’re see’n ain’t exactly what it seems.
You’re a special lady. The woman of my dreams.
You’re such a good cook you could work at Benihanas.
Your biscuits and gravy’s much better than my Mama’s.
Your legs are nice and strong and you got a special charm.
I’ve seen you walk a mile with a baby in each arm.
You’re a grown up lady and I can’t call you “Baby” no more.
Bridge
Piano - Dave
Guitar - George
Verse 3
You see some other women and you think that they look better.
Guess you haven’t seen yourself in my favorite blue sweater.
Got you an iPhone ‘cause I know you like to talk.
While you had a conversation, you shoveled our whole walk.
I guess what I am sayin’ is my love still grows.
You’re a special lady from your head to your toes.
You ain’t no baby and I can’t call you “Baby” no more.
You ain’t no baby and I can’t call you “Baby” no more.

You Ain't My Baby (ft. George Clementi - vocals, guitar)

I knocked on your door, you didn't let me in
I hammered all I could, it didn't change anything..
You had made yourself a golden plated key
Which no one was allowed to touch, not even me..

The key was your protection
You used it to shut out
All that was difficult, and when you were in doubt
You wore it on a heavy chain around your neck
Like a precious piece of jewelry..

Let me in, I promise to be good to you
Let me in, I promise to be positive for you
I will help you carry your golden plated key
Let me in, open your door for me..

I will help you carry your golden plated key
Let me in, open your door for me..

The key is heavy to carry all alone
Eventually it will feel like the weight of a stone
You need to share the burden, so open up your door
Let me in, so you're not alone anymore..

Let me in, I promise to be good to you
Let me in, I promise to be positive for you
I will help you carry your golden plated key
Let me in, open your door for me..

Let Me In W/ Janne Hennie

"Waterfall"

(Verse 1)

I'm at the waterfall of life,

feelings are like water,

I leave it to you to think what that means,

while I contemplate this beautiful landscape, I think about my dreams,

(Refrain)

 I hope all the love in the world find you, I find all that love when I look to her

(Verse 2)

 I'm still on the waterfall of life 

Some people don't believe in their heart 

And there are her honey eyes,

and everything becomes magically rights

(Refrain)

 I hope all the love in the world find you, I find all that love when I look to her

(Outro)

Some people don't believe in all this love in the world, I believe, I believe, i believe....

(Refrain)

 I hope that all the love in the world finds you, I find all this love when I look to her
