LYRICS - TO BE THERE
Our future is unknown
Don’t want to go alone.
I don’t feel that I’m whole,
When I’m on my own.

I want to be there.
Be there, be there for you.

Sometimes I feel,
I’m living on borrowed time.
Makes me glad that we met,
You listen and you’re kind.

I want to be there.
Be there, be there for you.

I want to be there,
When the sun rises, over the trees.
For every raindrop. And every breeze.
To be there when you need me.
To be there, a whole world to see.
To be there… for you.

Be there, be there,
Be there for you.

If I had known,
How our love would grow,
I would have tried more ways,
My love, to show.

I want to be there,
With you at night.
Darkness will surround us.
The sky drenched in starlight.
To be there holding you in my arms.
To be there enjoying your wonderful charms.
To be there. To be there… For you.

Be There (ft. Anna Rader - vocals, Chris Kulp - guitar)

* LYRICS *
VERSE1
The road we don’t know,
Where does it go?
Adventures in my car.
Sometimes dirt. 
Sometimes stones.
Will it take us far?
CHORUS1
Back road.
Let’s go see.
Back road.
Just you and me.
Back road.
A mystery.
Back road.
Young and free
VERSE2
Sometimes slow.
We go with the flow.
Memories we make,
From the risks that we take. 
As we roll on, we both unwind,
Until peace we find.
CHORUS2
Back road.
Take it slow.
Back road.
Memories grow.
Back road.
Take in the air.
Back road.
We don’t care.
Back road.
Nature show.
Back road.
The unknown.
Back road.
Streams will flow.
Back road.
Let’s go!

Back Road

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)

See YouTube for lyrics: https://youtu.be/7M6DgzokHLw. See https://DAVEHEFFNER.COM. Alice Weiler - vocals, Len Cagle - tenor saxophone, Bruce Klepper - string arrangement (@bruce-klepper-1), Dudly Ulysse - drums (https://soundcloud.com/ocsolbeats), Dave Heffner - piano, lyrics, production.

The title is a message to slow up in what seems to be an increasingly hectic world. This song started with a slow hip hop beat created by Dudly. Since hip hop is a derivative of jazz, the beat inspired and supported this jazz blues song. Although it is a rarity for me, I “heard” the introductory lyrics and melody line almost immediately, which worked well to Alice’s soprano vocal style.. Len’s saxophone part is predominantly improvised in the true jazz spirit on top of my piano track. Bruce’s lush string arrangement adds to the message of this song and helps connect the transitions.
