Ain't Gonna Rain No More

Undertow is an original song that tells a story by making an analogy between being taken away by a surprising, frightening ocean undertow and being wonderfully saved by a surprising, relentless love. This is another project that started with a simple live recording that Nat then fashioned into a more polished final outcome.

Lyrics: Undertow by Daniels & Durgy

I never saw it coming
The water seemed so calm
Into the surf I’m running
Let the waves just cool me down

But as the sea became me
Rocked gently to and fro
There came this rush to claim me
This playful undertow

I leaned well against it
My head turned toward the sun
But soon the current strengthened
And I was going down

No matter how I struggled
The mighty depths insisted
Soon I had no rebuttal 
My will ceased to resist it

And as I let it claim me
Pulled down deep into the foam
A calmness overcame me
With the feeling I was home

I looked to see my fate there
Perhaps I’d met my end
Instead I found your face there
An angel and my friend

And as we both just floated
To rise up to the air
I knew at once God wrote it
That you would save me there

I fought it like a soldier
As the waters turned
But as the sea grew colder
I’d no where else to turn

You sang the song of sea birds
That you would not let me go
And now your love needs no words
This mighty undertow

After The Rain

This song was recorded in 1967 and released in 1971 by Danny O'Keefe.  Artist such as Elvis and Willie Nelson have recorded it along with many others.  I recently heard this tune and remembered how much I liked it and had to give it a go.  Thank you all for the listen and support

Good Time Charley  ( Cover)

Good Old Days

We all got them, some just can’t be seen……………cheers for having a listen


A constant reminder
A memory from afar
Now etched in time
My permanent scars

There’s another side to me
That you don’t really know
But if you look real hard
There’s a story to be told

And if it’s not what you wanna see
You can look away
They’re always gonna be there
My scars are here to stay

They been years in the making
Star of their own show
I can’t ask them to leave
Like me they got nowhere to go

A constant reminder
A memory from afar
Now etched in time
My permanent scars

My Scars

Written 11 years ago: recalls the days when music was vinyl only and a magical retreat from disabling matters of the heart


33 RPM NIRVANA

Flattened faces pressed up against the glass
It’s well known no-one needs to ask
People talking ‘bout how I’m feeling
If they were me yes they’d be reeling
They’d need time and recuperation
But at night I take up station
Hanging around in 33 RPM Nirvana
Getting away to 33 RPM Nirvana 

She’s a stranger that’s her right to choose
Who can blame her she don’t like old news
You might say she’s one go getter
And why did she not treat me better
I admit I loved her deeply
But right now I’m kind of sleepy
Hanging around in 33 RPM Nirvana
Getting away in 33 RPM Nirvana 

I’m pulling the curtains and switching it on
Watching the tone arm lower onto my black vinyl

Drifting away now the music is my river
Not analyzing I’m seeking separation
Through the mists of time I wander
What is life I’m bound to ponder
Gonna get to shrug my shoulders
Moving on and getting bolder
Hanging around in 33 RPM Nirvana
Getting away in 33 RPM Nirvana

33 RPM Nirvana

Another one done from the album Wou-Wou & the Wormling, Bitzone, Stricknice, and I have been working on for almost 5 years now! You can definitely hear some of those 2020 themes in these songs. I feel like the world is starting to change and new themes will start emerging, so we had better finish up soon, lol. There are definitely two more songs from the set still to be released, and maybe a bonus track, and then we will be done…It has been a dream to work with these guys! I wonder what's next?

May everyone who’s looking, find an incredible team of musicians to work with.

Lyrics

Yo, this is your daily routine rap
4:30 already and it’s time to hit snooze cause you know waking up is wack
5:30 already and I am looking for excuse to get right back in the sack  
Gotta brush the teeth and I can’t forget the gums everyday I’m fighting that plaque 
Heading downstairs I’m already on the run to eat breakfast and pack a snack
Next to get dressed I always put the layers on to keep warm yet still look like a mac
Then I’m out the door one hour past dawn to get to work without catching no slack

Wake up
Time to wake up

Yo, time to hit the routine again
3:30 already and I should be off the clock but my boss said I had to work late
4:30 already and I gotta bust out daycare can no longer wait 
Gotta hit the drive through and get the kid a snack it’s been 2 hours since she last ate
CDs in the player for an hour of tunes you know rush hour traffic don’t abate
When I get home I take the dog for a walk so he can find a pole to finally liberate 
Then it’s time to cook dinner got no time to work out so you know I’m gonna pack on that weight

Wake up
Time to wake up

Yo, we’re not done yet
8:30 already need to get the kid ready for bed but she  still wants to play
9:30 already and kid still isn’t ready now we’re yelling cause there’s no other way
I wanna keep my cool but I’ve had it up to here and I just want to get on with the day
Dishes keep pilling and the laundry needs drying and the mess needs to all be put away
Instead I check out, binge a show, and stay up late even though tomorrow I’ll have to pay  
Then I fall asleep on the couch just to do it all again it’s all just a big cliche. 

Wake up
Time to wake up

It’s time to wake the fuck up

Wake Up!

ENDLESS TIME

ENDLESS TIME - (see info for video link)

There are many versions and different traditions of the story of the Magi and about their journey. And about their origin. Pictured on the cover is a drawing found in the 'Catalan Atlas,' a map of the world dated to the late 14th century. Pictured here are the three kings. The caption reads: “This province is called Tarshish, from which came the Three Wise Kings, and they came to Bethlehem in Judaea with their gifts and worshipped Jesus Christ, and they are entombed in the city of Cologne two days journey from Bruges.”
But where was the city (or the country) called Tarshish (Tarsis, Tharsis), whose king was already mentioned in Psalm 72?
No one, exactly, knows.

----

I recorded the guitar part in 2018, when bought a Guild (my Washburn had become mute ...), so the track has a lot of noise and imperfections. Then there were several attempts to organize the piece and arrange it. This could be the last one. It came rather long and slow. But long and slow was also that improbable (and hardly true) journey - perhaps one could imagine it by closing the eyes and listening to the music.

Song of the Seasons

Cast of Characters:
E Ruizzo-- https://soundcloud.com/ruizzoidman21centurions --Manuel-- composition, lyrics, Squier Stratocaster electric guitar, vocals, mix, and production
J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ-- piano, accordion, and horn
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– Jose Ramirez nylon stringed flamenco style guitar, and mastering
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums, percussion
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – four string Fender Precision Bass bass

This song began all the way back when Manuel was 16 and found love that summer with a girl named Carmen. He remembered her, though, and wrote this song about her all these years later. The title of the song means "Your name has the song," and the lyrics spell out the girl's charms using the letters of her name. Check out the lyrics and the translation below. 
  Using that inspiration, Manuel came up with the song structure and the vocal melodies to a rudimentary drum track with his electric guitar. He then asked Josh if the group would be interested in taking it on. Josh, never being one to refuse a challenging piece of music, and always on the lookout for interesting musicians with whom to collaborate, accepted his kind offer and created a project for the rest of the Eclectic Collecitve to join. He started the whole thing off by adding his bass, to which Ken added his innovative drums, to which Josh redid his bass, as is the typical process in the EC.
  Next up was JJ, who you'd think he'd grown up with Spanish music the way he added the horns, accordion, and piano. Then Stephen stepped in and added his psychedelic and intricate acoustic guitar to the stew. 
  It was all done, except for the mix at this point. Manuel did the honors, and did it very expertly. Stephen mastered it to give it more volume and dynamism, too, as he always does. 
  This was the first, but we hope not the last, time the EC has collaborated with Manuel, although we're all fans of the incredible music on his page. He was a true delight to work with, giving honest, encouraging feedback and helping us shape his song to meet his vision. We hope you enjoy listening to this song as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Original lyrics by E Ruizzo:

TU NOMBRE TIENE LA CANCIÓN  /  YOUR NAME HAS THE SONG

Qué es una lágrima en el desierto?  /  What is a tear in the desert?
Cae sin ruido, se evapora y se olvida.  /  It falls without noise, evaporates and is forgotten.
No tiene tiempo de brillar, su vida  /  It has no time to shine, its life
es corta y su camino tan incierto…  /  is short and its path so uncertain...

Ce del calor del desierto y su sol,  /  ‘C’ for the heat of the desert and its sun,
a del adiós por el que lloré tanto;  /  ‘a’ for the farewell for which I cried so much;
erre del río que forma mi llanto;  /  ‘r’ for the river formed by my crying;
eme de miedo, de magia y de amor.  /  ‘m’ for fear, for magic and for love.

E de esperanza, de espacio rosado,  /  ‘E’ for hope, for pink space,
de espina clavada, de suelta emoción;  /  for stuck thorn, for loose emotion;
ene de noche de un tiempo pasado.  /  ‘n’ for night of a past time.

Carmen, tu nombre tiene la canción  /  Carmen, your name has the song
de todo aquello que has significado:  /  of all that you have meant:
Carmen de luz, de sonrisa y de adiós.  /  Carmen of light, of smile and of goodbye.

Tu Nombre Tiene La Canción (with The Eclectic Collective)

a remake I did last night of a classic song

LAST KISS (COVER/REMAKE)

The latest track from my Not Completely Useless project. I tend to think of it as a low-key one for me - still quite a bit going on; Sonic Youth-style triplet feel intro, bass grooves, organ, touches of syncopation and a change of pace for the outro... there's just not as much guitar heroics as usual.

This one is about missing my kids when I was away at a festival. And my eldest daughter - then 6 I think - wrote the lyrics for the chorus.

Cast of Characters:

J.J. Terrell–@j-j-terrell – piano, organ, composition
Llanpsych -- @llanpsych -- Tez – Fender Stratocaster electric guitar
TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman –Stephen– Suhr electric guitar, mix, and production
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara -–Ken–drums
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1 –- four string Fender Precision Bass

This song began one creative Saturday evening several weeks ago with JJ coming up with it on his organ, piano, bass, and drums. He wrote it with the Eclectic Collective in mind and immediately shared it with the rest of us.
  Ken was the first to jump on it, adding his strong, Masonesque drums. Josh excitedly dove in once he had a beat to play off of. Then, it was time for the guitarists in the band to show off their skills. Stephen laid down the psychedelic, textural guitar you hear throughout, as well as the thrilling solo in the middle, starting around 1:25 and ending around 1:50. Tez did his best Dave Gilmour impression, adding rest of the fiery lead solo you hear throughout, as well. 
  Once it was in the can, we needed a mix, of course, and Stephen was kind enough to work his magic on the production.
  This is a perfect example of a JJ seed that took bloom with the EC. We all love working on his songs. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Friends,

On behalf of my son Jeffrey Husted and myself we present a song called:
93 Million Miles. Jeff is the featured vocalist. He is my all-time favorite rock/pop star; Thank You Jeff! I Love You.

The lyrics were written well over a year ago but several lines in separate verses are resonating with me with greater charge today given the state of our world.

"You could just turn-away and let them have their way
Tell us all the reasons why it's too late
Fall into that rage
A burning star of pain 
and you may believe your crazy
You're not alone, we're all afraid"

"…I know it ain't been easy 
To be that change, to be that peace today"

 "Stand-up; gotta Stand-up
they'll be a sweet sunrise in the morning"
 

The phrase “Close your eyes and see” is reflected in my original lyrics as the final line but not sung in the final mix of the song. You will have to imagine them.

Please subscribe to my YouTube Channel and follow my Artist Profile on Spotify and Facebook just because because!!

93 Million Miles  
David Husted  
Feat. Jeffrey Husted
 

You could just turn-away and let them have their way
Tell us all the reasons why it's too late
Fall into that rage
A burning star of pain 
and you may believe your crazy
You're not alone, we're all afraid

That heat, 93 million miles
That peace, come on home
That heat, 93 million miles
That peace, come on home

Can you take me to that refuge that feel's like a mother's grace
Can you burn away the madness in the light of day
Can you take me too that place?
I know it ain't been easy  
To be that change, to be that peace today  

That heat, 93 million miles
That peace, come on home
That heat, 93 million miles
That peace, come on home

Stand-up; gotta Stand-up
they'll be a sweet sunrise in the morning  
Close your eyes and see

That heat, 93 million miles
That peace, come on home
That heat, 93 million miles
That peace, come on home

93 Million Miles

Lyrics
When we were young, we were able to fly
No fear no doubt, pain just passed by

Remember The Magic

The world was big, a space for dreams
It was crowded by possibilities

Remember The Magic

We made some miracles come true
What you desire and what you dream is up to you

Remember The Magic - Neli CoKo

Lyrics

You ain't foolin me
You ain't foolin me
You ain't foolin me with your AI tunes
I just ain't gonna follow you

But hey do what you want to do
Do what you want to do
Well then do what you want to do
Hey do what you want to do

Alligator take that keyboard to the trunk of the tree
Chew it all up and spit it free

But hey do what you want to do
Do what you want to do
Well then do what you want to do
Hey do what you want to do

Alligator take that keyboard to the trunk of the tree
Chew it all up and spit it free

Alligator take that keyboard to the trunk of the tree

But hey do what you want to do
Do what you want to do

We are pleased to present track 7 from our latest album, 'Haunting One Seven,' full album available on Bandcamp, we hope you’ll enjoy!

Haunting One Seven

A Deity Looks After Me

notes :

Green on Green ...is a military term for friendly fire...  using it to describe Newport /UK Dylan incidents,  extending this to one's teenage years, family expectations, etc...
...   furthermore, the song could be  about search for identity   conformity vs. rebellion and being true to yourself through it all, blah blah blah
Somehow, I worked  Susan Dey from the Partridge Family and Patty Hearst in there-the yin and yang of my adolescent fantasies

Dylan wrote half the bridge for me ..thx man I owe you

opening soundclip is Dylan being heckled in England as they are warming up to play Like A Rolling Stone and just before he tells the band to play it f#$g loud

Green on Green         

I was born that summer night Dylan electrified
July 25th, 1965
The hands that say they love us try to crucify
Their baby boy soft machines

Being raised on the edge of a precipice
Morphed to a teenage premonition of the great abyss
When I said I never want to be a part of this
Scattered pigment in your landscape scene

They're going Green on Green
Green on Green
It’s all a matter of opinion
And I am stuck in the in-between

All the 74 Boys crushed on Susan Dey
But me I dug Patty from the SLA
With her nom de guerre our Tania
She had found another way
That was something I was meaning to do

But the dream didn’t last, and in 75
Patricia got arrested by the FBI
Both of us surrounded, we were waiting to die
Bob's in the Rolling Thunder Revue.

Going Green on Green
Green on Green
Best ignore their faux opinion
I think you know what I mean

Calling me Judas
I don't believe you, you're a liar 
All this walking on water
Now we  crawl through the fire
Leave a  knife in their back
Dripping blood on the tracks 
Well that’s how those mothers roll

There’s a treasure down deep in this garbage can
To find it plug your nose, feel the dirt on your hands
Just remember that they never really understand 
Your personal Rosetta Stone

Bobby's still in the kitchen, Tricia's lost her rage
And me I keep crossing out the words on my page
Martyr, sinner, joker, tired rocker or sage
I'm gonna sing

Till I go Green on Green
I’m going Green on Green
I'm the only one left standing
In the final scene….

Green On Green

It is already March but this is only my first entry of the year.
This is a simple verse-chorus-bridge-chorus song which just serves to air some grievances about local politics.  See what you think.
Thanks so much for stopping by.

[LYRICS]
We see the same sunsets
We face the same mornings	
But we are forced to pay for their mistakes	
Remedial measures burst	
Making the scene even worse	
Wealth here shrinks faster than your eyes could blink	
 	
We're all back to the same old view	
There is really nothing new	
Still have to face those fire drills	
Delayed reactions	
 	
Always underrate the tasks uphill	
Still think we'll buy their dump appeal	
It's simply an overkill	
 	
You never will understand the reason I feel this way	
Again, regardless of any plans,	
All at mid-class' expense	
	
Drowned in aimless debates	
All tailored to their tastes	
Interests co-exist with love and hate	
	
For too long he's been around	
Economy keeps diving down	
Still he refuses to step down	
A sad situation	
All these are leading us nowhere	
Damages done are beyond repair	
It's simply a sad affair

Same Old View

The Doubt

Rain...too little of it and there is drought, too much of it and there are deadly, destructive floods, just the right amount and the earth flourishes; crops grow, gardens bloom, our spirits are refreshed and encouraged.  This song begs the questions; are mankind's plans, philosophies, charitable endeavors, or selfish goals like the rain that can benefit mankind or destroy it?  Do novel ideas work for the moral structure of humanity or is the ancient wisdom better? There are no easy answers to the questions Peter asks in the lyrics, but they are questions we should consider as we see the world aflame--which is another blessing of rain, it can put out fires.

Rain
And so it rains
Will it wash away tomorrow’s hopes,
Leave us stranded in our yesterdays
Clinging to the fraying ropes
Swinging helplessly in vain

And yet it rains
Both the means to life or drowning death
Spilling ‘cross the flooding plains
Sucking out the terminal breath
Forever and again

I stand here naked, cold and blue
Stripped of pride and freedom too
Aspirations drained, subdued
As heaven’s cloudbursts purge me through

And still it rains
Will it cleanse, refresh, renew the truth
Sanitise and ease the pain
Or launder filthy failure’s proof
To try and hide the liar’s stain

And it will rain
While lunatics still yield the whip
Indoctrination’s game remains
The crass politico’s iron grip
Will euthanise our children’s brains

……and so it rains

Rain (with Conny, Peter And David)

Brand NEW track "Thought I Was Dreaming", taken from the "Ultraviolet Cosmos" upcoming full length STA album (2025). Enjoy y'all #share, #like, #follow and comment of course. :D

lyrics:
I've been dreaming for so long
and never woke up back to reality
i never thought it could take so long
to learn such a solid morality

Thought i was screaming, nightmares dreaming
and it's time not to hide away
It's time for breathing, 
forget about those golden years so fly away

And then i opened my eyes and realize
that neon lights blinded my side
and it's time to get up my feet again
and regain what's mine and never let it again.

I Am KEEPING SCORE

Lyrics

I can see I've said too much
I can tell by the look on your face
I can see I've said too much
I can see it on your face

Someone tell me when to quit
Someone put a hand on my mouth
Now I've broken a heart again
Now I've made it no way out

I'm a windbag
I'm a windbag
Windbag
I'm a windbag
Help me
I'm a windbag
Help me

When it seems that I am weak
And that I want, want to speak
Shut me up, that I am weak
And that i want, want to speak
Shut me up

I'm a windbag
I'm a windbag
I'm a windbag
I'm a windbag

Shut me up, Shut me up
Shut me up, Shut me up

Someone tell me when to quit
Someone put a hand on my mouth
Now I've broken a heart again
Now I've made it no way out

This song is about knowing you can't mess up things that are meant for you. It's about not being afraid of the journey as it's 'funny how it all works out for good'

Lyrics 

Verse 1

You’ve been in a rut 
Running out of luck 
Can’t seem to find your purpose 
You’ve been feeling stuck
Doors keep closing shut 
Tell you how it’s worth it 

Hey
It’s ok 
Ya don’t say 
I’ve got a feeling 
Everything is gonna fall right in place 
One day 
One day 

Chorus 

Funny how it all works out 
Even through the ups and downs 
Funny how it all works out for good 

Breath in breath out
Let go of doubt 
Everything all works out for good
Funny how it all works out for good 


Verse 2

You don’t feel the love 
It’s never quite enough
Can’t seem to find your purpose 
You’ve been feeling rushed 
Life is kinda tough 
Tell you how it’s worth it

Thank you to David and Justin for collaborating on this track

For Good

Fascinating day

The Title Track from The Forthcoming album "THE GREAT AWAKENING"
Lyrics:-
Wake up Children
We are in the 
Great awakening
All the things we
Know now is the
Great awakening

Can you believe the time has come
Remembering who we really are
Releasing the chains that made us numb
Forgetting the light from distant stars

While we gather 
In strength 
And force
The frequencies inbound
While we wait 
For the rest
Of our brothers and sisters
To come round

Wake up Children
We are in the 
Great awakening
All the things we
Know now is the
Great awakening

Wake up Children
We are in the 
Great awakening
All the things we
Know now is the
Great awakening

We'll wait for all the rest
We'll hold on
For all of you
We can make it through the storm together
Hold on
It's the great awakening

LES VRAIS DU FAUX
Ils ont beau dire, ils ont beau faire
Tous leurs sourires sont à l’envers
Beaucoup de trop, et çà se voit
Se sentant haut tant ils s'y croient.
Sous apparence vivent au-dessus
Dans l'insolence voir même plus
Jouant les meilleurs se sentant beaux
En rois de coeur, qui sonnent faux
Riant de tout, même pas marrant
Quand on s’en fout complètement
Ils s’intéressent sans écouter
Et puis ils laissent tout çà tomber.

Dans les amis, nos confidents
Il reste les vrais, heureusement
Pouvoir se dire et franchement
Les beaux, les pires des sentiments.

Ils congratulent dans le mépris,
Nous prennent pour nuls et puis aussi
Sans de scrupule en font leurs vies.
En tête de rang, la bonne place
Tous les gênants ils les déplacent
Se faisant grand  ils les remplacent.
L'hypocrisie en bandoulière
Car çà aussi ils savent la faire
Ils continuent, se croyant fort
Tout au-dessus, voir plus encore.

Dans les amis, nos confidents
Il reste les vrais, heureusement
Pouvoir se dire et franchement
Les beaux, les pires des sentiments.

Tout çà se voit et on le sent 
Alors pourquoi perdre son temps
Laissons tomber une fois pour toute
Plus les garder sur notre route.
Car peu importe, faut avancer
Fermant  nos portes, les oublier
Laissons les dirent, laissons les faire
Prendre un soupir à l'ordinaire
Sentiments sains, bons ressentis
Pour que demain, saine soit la vie.

Dans les amis, nos confidents
Il reste les vrais, heureusement
Pouvoir se dire et franchement
Les beaux, les pires des sentiments.

THE TRUES FROM THE FALSE

No matter what they say, no matter what they do
All their smiles are upside down
Too many, and it shows
Feeling high as they believe in it.
Under appearance live above
In insolence see even more
Playing the best feeling beautiful
In kings of hearts, who ring false
Laughing at everything, not even funny
When we don't care at all
They are interested without listening
And then they drop it all.

In friends, our confidants
There are still the real ones, fortunately
Being able to say oneself and frankly
The beautiful, the worst feelings.

They congratulate in contempt,
Take us for rubbish and then too
Unscrupulously make their lives out of it.
At the head of the row, the right place
All the troublesome ones they move them
Making themselves big they replace them.
Hypocrisy on the shoulder
Because that too they know how to do
They continue, believing themselves strong
All above, even more.

In friends, our confidants
There are still the real ones, fortunately
Being able to say oneself and frankly
The beautiful, the worst feelings.

All this can be seen and felt 
So why waste your time
Let's give up once and for all
No longer keep them on our way.
Because it doesn't matter, you have to move forward
Closing our doors, forgetting them
Let them say it, let them do it
Take a sigh at the ordinary
Healthy feelings, good feelings
So that tomorrow, life will be healthy.

In friends, our confidants
There are still the real ones, fortunately
Being able to say oneself and frankly
The beautiful, the worst feelings.

Beautiful original song by Jai Tee:
https://soundcloud.com/jaiteemusic/untitled-4

"oh i can't feel
feel without you
i cannot
it's just so hard to let go
of everything to let go
how am i suppose to breathe 
without you
i'm not okay without you tonight

how am i suppose to
how am i suppose to
i can't breathe without you
don't forget, the room's too empty
my heart too

how am i suppose to breathe
i can't without you
i can't feel without you
i cannot breathe without you

i'm only writing your name
in my tears
i love you
i'm not okay
tonight
i miss you"

Inside The Forbidden Outside

Is it Rain or Tears

Lyrics by Tony Harris 
Music, Vocals and Production by The Glen Granthem Band

The lyrics listed below inspired Glen to produce this track after he made a few changes to make it flow. I thank him for his hard work on this one.                     

A FRIEND WAS IN NEED
ON THAT FRIDAY NIGHT
SO HE KINDLY AGREEDED
TO HELP IN HIS PLIGHT

THEY TOOK A LONG DRIVE
ON INTERSTATE FIFTY-FIVE
TO A DESTINATION
THAT WOULD BE A LIFE LESSON

ARRIVIN' IN RECORD TIME
HE HELPED WITH HIS BAGGAGE
GLAD TO HELP ANYTIME
TO HIM IT WAS A PRIVILEGE

IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE
HE WAS LAYIN' ON THE GROUND
LOOKIN' UP AT THE SKY
A DRUNK DRIVER HAD HIT HIM

THE ROAD TO RECOVERY
WAS VERY LONG
BUT HIS WILL WAS STRONG
THE MUSIC WOULD SET HIM FREE

MUSIC WAS HIS SAVING GRACE
TAKING HIM BACK IN TIME
TO A BEAUTIFUL PLACE
WHERE EVERYTHING RHYMNED
IN FOUR FOUR TIME
YEA, WHERE IT RHYMNED
IN FOUR FOUR TIME

HE THANKED GOD ABOVE
FOR HIS WONDERFUL LOVE
ON THAT FRIDAY NIGHT

Lyrics by Tony Harris © 2018 (BMI)

Music Was His Saving Grace - Lyrics by Tony Harris - Featuring Glen Granthem - Original

Little drops
Well they fall from my eyes 
Cause I miss you 
I need you
Oh I miss you in the rain...

I remember when we were caught in the rain
I remember the heavens, they opened that day

Little thoughts 
Well they cloud my mind
Cause I need you
I need you in the rain...

Chorus

Little drops
They fall from my eyes
When the rain came down
Little thoughts
They cloud my mind
When the rain came down..

CAUGHT IN THE RAIN

I am a finger-style guitarist living on the Texas high plains.  At the core of my music is melody that is inspired and informed by my Christian faith, family, friends, and countless influences through the years from the great composers, to jazz, folk, rock, Latin, Celtic, and the many fine musicians I have come to love on the Cloud, some I have been privileged to collaborate with.  Thanks for stopping by to have a listen. Comments are always welcome. Feel free to click on the picture of any track to learn more about it.
