LYRICS.
VERSE 1
I like the simple life.
The simple life’s for me.
Give me a sunny day,
Wind in the trees.
Air that’s fresh, and water clean,
Food that’s good to eat.
Warm clothes so I don’t freeze.
Shoes for my feet.
CHORUS
Oh-wee-oh, wee-oh, oh. Simple life for me.
Oh-wee-oh, wee-oh, oh. Best things are for free.
VERSE 2
When we’re born into this world,
We have simple needs.
Then as we grow older,
Life picks up speed.
We can read many books,,
Lots of facts they give.
We can learn lots of rules,
But not how to live.
PRE-CHORUS
Oh----, wee-oh
Oh----, wee-oh
CHORUS
BRIDGE
(8 bar instrumental)
CHORUS
VERSE 3
Gazing at the mountains,
We can look for free.
Beauty surrounds us.
All Nature we can see.
Clouds up in the sky. Ocean…
Waves that never end.
Life is overflowing.
Share it with a friend.
CHORUS
VERSE 4
When we pass and leave this world,
We leave it alone.
Until then we have riches,
From things we find at home.
Family, friends, and beauty,
Nature’s full buffet.
The simple things around us,
‘round us every day.
PRE-CHORUS
CHORUS

It started out innocently enough: "What could I write for piano at 180 bpm?" Then I started playing around with my voice tone using a popular plugin. So why not add a sub-bass track to test out my new speaker? After many bells and whistles later and massive editing cuts, one gets a frantic two minute track, not to be confused with Mozart's Minute Waltz. :-)Perhaps this reflects being stuck in my house for a couple months.

Two Minute Workout

I guess I've been hopping around the Cloud long enough to be influenced by all of you. This one is pretty strongly influenced by the bucolic musings of the Cloud King, Chris Pellnat @pretentiousmusic.

From Wikipedia: "Mud daubers are not normally aggressive, but can become belligerent when threatened. Stings are uncommon." To this I can relate.

Dirt Dauber

Dirt Dauber, Dirt Dauber
There’s work to be done
There’s no time for fun
In the sun

Dirt Dauber, work harder
Your larder is bare
Nine spiders despair
When they’re stung

Jittery lady
Adobe architect 
A potter, an artist of mud

It’s all for the baby
A tinge of regret
Your life, a labor of love
 
Work faster, you master 
Of plaster matte walls
Waddle and daubing your halls
 
You flickering onyx
My spindle waste friend
Slaving away til the end

Your moment is coming
You’ve almost arrived
Your masterpiece nearly complete

All in awe we applaud
And with tears in our eyes
As you fall from the skies to our feet

Dirt Dauber, Dirt Dauber
There’s work to be done
There’s no time for fun
In the sun

Dirt Dauber, work harder
Your larder is bare
Nine spiders despair
When they’re stung

Dirt dauber you martyr
A lamb to the slaughter
Why bother? Why bother?
Why bother? Why bother?

Dirt dauber you martyr
A lamb to the slaughter
Why bother? Why bother?
Why bother? Why bother?

Dirt dauber you martyr
A lamb to the slaughter
Why bother? Why bother?
Why bother? Why bother?

All my life
I've tried to hide
All my pain
Held inside

Teardrops well
Emotions rise
Fall like rain
From my eyes

Been so long
Since I cried
I'm set free
I've said goodbye

Fall Like Rain

Another track from my new album "Was This Written"

Join me in the comfort of this candle light
That flickers like the stars
The stars
Trust in what you’re feeling and I'll
Take away those everlasting scars
Those scars
Hold my hand a little tighter tonight
My heart has never ventured out this far
This far

I never knew that I had wings
Before I met you
You bring this bird to life
And you let him fly

Let's stay above the clouds a while
Forget the world below
Below
We'll let the wind force the tears from our eyes as we
Set our site upon magic worlds unknown
Unknown

I never knew that I had wings
Before I met you
You bring this bird to life
And you let him fly
I never believed I could really sing
Until I met you
You bring this bird to life
And the sky is ours tonight

So we'll let the wind force the tears from our eyes
And set our site upon magic worlds unknown
Unknown

I never knew that I had wings
Before I met you
You bring this bird to life
And you let him fly
I never believed I could really sing
Until I met you
You bring this bird to life
And the sky is ours tonight
