Got a new bass guitar so thought I might give it center stage and have been playing with a new Amp Sim from Neural DSP. So just some little blasts of fun 😃

LYRICS
Little things we don’t see.
Daily acts add up for me.
I found love in a tear.
That you care. That you hear.

I found love in a child’s hand,
When they try to understand.
 I cry for help. An answered call.
I found love breaks down walls.

In a hug when I fail,
I find love will prevail.
I found love in the way
That you listen to what I say.

I found love in your smile.
Won’t you stay for a little while?

BRIDGE - MUSIC

I found love in the way you cook;
Serve the food with a loving look.
I found love in the way
My pet greets me every day.

I found love. A flower blooms.
In my heart there’s always room.
I found love in hugs you give.
They bring me hope; a reason to live.

I found love. Life goes on.
The earth still turns, but my blues are gone.

(4X) I found love.

I found love, and it grew.
I found love. It’s with you.
I found love, and you’ll see,
I found love. It’s in me.

(4X) I found love.

I Found Love (ft. Arianna - vocals) lyrics attached

I usually wait a lot longer before posting tracks, but I decided to post this one on impulse today. This track is about the idea of summer. Although  I produced it a few weeks ago, and since yesterday was a gorgeous day, full of sunshine and birds singing, well, it made me feel hopeful, always does. I could already imagine myself relaxing or rather having fun on the beach with my love, both enjoying the calm soothing waves. I’m a romantic, can’t help it. 
So enjoy this beautiful sunny day with me. Love to all. Copyright protected ©

When all the rivers and oceans have dried up you shed no tears
It's all beyond us now
Look at the pain and destruction you brought us,
you have no shame
it's you I blame

they're watching all of the flames and the smoke that's burning
The clouds are tumbling down, sheer panic, don't look back
Brother man, you happy? why did you do this to me...
When the Crows speak

We will always be here
you will fade away

they're watching all of the flames and the smoke that's burning
The clouds are tumbling down, sheer panic, don't look back
Brother man, you happy? why did you do this to me...
When the Crows speak

When I Fall

Flamingos

Into the Ocean

Arianna Rader sings this ballad about the need for meditation in our lives. Written and produced by Dave Heffner.
LYRICS
VERSE1
In the stillness
Of the moment,
The sun peeks through the trees.
The day awakens.
I think of the times
I looked, but did not see.
CHORUS1
With Love,
In Peace,
With Kindness,
And Humility.
VERSE2
As the morning
Fades behind me,
I struggle through the day.
Distractions surround me.
Temptations confound me.
I can easily lose my way.
CHORUS2
With Love,
In Peace,
With Kindness,
And Humility.

Meditation (ft. Arianna Rader)

Arianna Rader sings this song about the power of nature to reset our place in the world and to appreciate the things around us.
LYRICS
Verse1
Thunder sounds. I look to the sky.
It stirs my soul. It makes me cry.
Verse2
Wind in my face. Trees bending down.
Power around me is so profound.
Pre-Chorus
I walk to the river. My spirits high.
I feel renewed. I feel alive.
Chorus
Living. Living
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
Bridge (see below)
Verse3
Day by day, not much control.
Breathe in breathe out: It calms my soul.
Verse4
Gray clouds part. The sky turns blue.
Touches my heart. I think of you.
(Pre-Chorus2)
(Chorus2)
Bridge: Part1
In the still of the night, like a sky at war,
A distant rumble, like a lion’s roar.
Clouds are gathering. Air thick and tense.
The storm begins. Let the show commence.
Part2
Raindrops fall. Rhythm on the ground.
Each clap of thunder, a primal sound.
It shakes the core. It stirs within.
The elements dance. The storm begins.
Part3
The storm moves on. Thunder fades away,
Leaving calm at the break of day.

LYRICS...  SHATTER THE IMAGE
VERSE 1
Now you’ve been told what you should be.
Get on your mark, now, we’re countin’ to three.
But in your head, you say, “Is this really me?”
And in your head, you say, “Am I really free?”
VERSE 2
An old man sits in a darkened room,
Staring out at the evening gloom.
Humming a tune, while he drinks his gin,
And heaving a sigh, as he rubs his chin.
VERSE 3
And he thinks back to his younger days,
When there was little, if any haze.
So many dreams, but where did they go?
Off to another world, that he’ll never know.
CHORUS
Shatter the image in the other man’s eye.
You’ll find out that you won’t really die.
What you’ll find are the things, you need to know.
What you’ll find are the things, you need to grow.

Shatter The Image (feat. Janet Heffner - vocals, acoustic guitar, Tim Breon - electric guitar)

What could be more inspiring for a song than a beautiful fall day with a warm breeze blowing in an open window? Of course, the song should be composed at a relaxed tempo. Japanese instruments, a pan pipe, and bongo drums were added to create the right atmosphere. This song is the debut, for experienced singer and songwriter Alice Weiler, for vocals and assisting with lyrics on my compositions. Throughout this song, Alice sings harmony and multiple layers with her main vocal track. Len Cagle returns to the studio with his tenor saxophone, performing an improvisation at the bridge and playing “over” the vocal track in the second verse. This is the first time that I used an iPad for the initial creative phase of a composition. It was refreshing to have the freedom to compose away from the studio.

Window's Open (feat. Alice Weiler - vocals, Len Cagle - tenor saxophone)

A fun light hearted pop-rock style of a love song about a woman's adoration for her man!

Feline Fever - Music & Lyrics by REKHA

You are my prized possession
My one and only obsession
I'm never gonna give you up
Give you up
Oh-No not me
No-No

You are my true desire
My boy flamin' fire
You're the only one who brings on
This high feline-fever in me

And when the lights go down at night
I'm gonna put my naughty on strong
Well it's what you want
I'm gonna make you sweat
Til' you can't sweat no more

Cuz' Y-O-U Baby
Are makin' me wild and crazy
You know how to turn your woman on
Without even tryin'

Cuz' Y-O-U Honey
Are makin' me wild and crazy
Your boy flamin'-fire 
Turns me right on
So goo-ood

It's in the way you walk
It's in the way you talk
Ahn, it's in the way you dress 
You know it messes with my head
It messes with my head

It's in the way you look at me
Gazin' all so prettily
Baby you're turnin' it on
You're turnin' it ah-on
Wo-Oh...Oh

You are my Baby
I need you to make me wild and
Wild and crazy Baby, Darlin', Honey Bun

Cuz' Y-O-U Baby
Are makin me wild and crazy
You know how to turn your woman on 
Without even tryin' now
