Say You Won't Leave

Say You Wont Leave

Just testing this out..something   new and quick....peace <3

Lyrics : Climb aboard for another trip we're going around the world this time

We got Bright Lights we got Starship into outer space will climb

Flying past moons flying past stars flying planets flying past Mars

On a Milky Way ever far away 
is where we spend our time living out our days

Time goes by ever so slowly only love is what we'll breathe
In the here and now is what it's all about when you live it we know you'll find out

So all climb aboard the Starship to the sky 
let us show you the how and the why

Working together as one in Perfect Harmony
 
Here and Now is where we'll all live in peace

Here and Now

Here And Now

Lyrics:
I’m walking in the street and I wonder who I’m gonna meet

Maybe a friend I would like to spend good time with

But I’m a bit tired cause I had a bad night

My thoughts are too confused and I hope they’ll clarify

 

I live in the dark

Sometimes broken through by the light

D’you know how much I suffer, girl

It is because of you

I live in the dark

Sometimes broken through by the light

Tomorrow you will see

I will become a new man

 

Like a killer, I think and I look for

A goal in my life, something which permits me to be good

If i found it, all would be surely better

Like a miracle, all in my life would light up

 

I live in the dark

Sometimes broken through by the light

D’you know how much I suffer, girl

It is because of you

I live in the dark

Sometimes broken through by the light

Tomorrow you will see

I will become a new man

 

A new man, a new man

 

I carry on walking and I haven’t seen any friend yet

Neither boy, nor girl, It seems there is nobody here, oh, anybody here

I am alone, please help me

I am alone, d’you want me to be unhappy

 

A new man, a new man, tomorrow, you’ll see

 

I live in the dark

Sometimes broken through by the light

D’you know how much I suffer, girl

It is because of you

I live in the dark

Sometimes broken through by the light

Tomorrow you will see

I will become a new man

 

I live in the dark because of you

I live in the dark to be, to be, to become a new man

Dedicated to my Grandmother:)
Broken shards of crystallized tears runnin thru the house of fear
Dancing on a ray of light flying thru the angels light 
Angels spread their wings and
Singing now you’ll find our fear only to grab and hold us near
Whisper to us in that night never fear the dark of light 
Angels spread their wings and FLY  
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Don’t leave us now where, where will you go only to find a path you’ll know
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rising now the time is near for us to find what we all fear 
Angels flock on wing of flight to carry you to the light 
Angels spread their wings and FLY..

Lyrics

When you were a child they'd sit you on their knee 
and say when you grow up what do you want to be
A doctor a lawyer maybe drive a big truck
The future seems endless when you were filled with love

I want to be like my family 
they picked me up and they help me to see 
life is worth living even when it gets tough 
cuz the love of the family will always be enough

Our grandparents taught us that we make our own luck 
whether farming fishing or hunting that buck 
and if we learn the lesson think that lesson might be 
to follow your heart and live simply

                     -_--------------_-

They had it real hard work their fingers to the Bone 
but what they had they could call it their own 
they are full of Pride love and dignity
  now I'm all grown and I know what to be

Lyrics: Where's my mask can it hide what I feel inside do you see the shame I hide 
you walk and edge 
most here would never know we ask why did you go

over and over plays in my head over and over it plays in my head

tell me where you going and what you been tell me what you done and what you've seen 

over and over it plays in my head over and over plays in my head

did you know that hurt we felt when you left now we pray your souls at rest 

sleight of hand did I close my eyes too long did I fail to see what's wrong

over and over it plays in my head over and over it plays in my head 

tell me where you going and what you been tell me what you've done and what you've seen

Chorus

life's too short but your smile and love live on is it true you're really gone 

watch over us and see the love we feel as we help each other heal

Lyrics : Let me peer into your soul and cry the tune you're crying too let me take your heart of gold and soothe the pain Within 

life and love the master plan they coincide with my conscience until that moment when you open up as one of us

[How long can it take how long will I wait how long till our time is up is the secret of my life]

It's by no fault your own that's your dominance is shown emerging from the shallow Graves and hollows of the Mind only to be challenged at no cost shall I crawl

Lyrics: Feel the warmth of the sun beat down see the colures burst smell the air hear the meadow sounds its pure and unrehearsed

*And there’s a place like you’ve never seen before there is a place where your hopes and dreams can sore freedom and serenity still walk hand in hand

Blazing passion diminishing fears my eyes are open wide listen with your heart not your ears let your senses ride

*
Life seems right full of love not freight my soul seems clean and new days at end so bring on the night cause with sunrise comes morning dew

The following info was written by Marquis (Couch King Presents) on the original music track here : https://soundcloud.com/syncopater-raps/blankets-and-the-couch-king-love-is-called-to-all?in=couch-king-presents/sets/love-is-called-to-all
This music was made in approximately 2010. Blankets and I would record music late into the night in his smoke filled studio apartment while his cat, goon, would walk over the peddles. I  would haul all of my recording equipment, drums, and percussion instruments from my house to his multiple nights a week. There were lots of late night snacks. Good times.

Love Is Call To All

Love Is Call To All (with Blankets prod. Couch King Presents & clubfungus🍄)

Lyrics 
I woke up on Monday

 I should have known then 

that that very next week

 was sure going to mess with my head f

irst the car wouldn't start

 so I said what's the point 

next I called off work and then I fired up a joint


I've got those Blues those I can't do nothing right 

those self-pity Blues

 I ain't happy with myself

I ain't happy with anything else them self pretty Blues



Now I soon  fell asleep

 because I was tired 

started having a dream where my boss said I was fired

Then I sat up straight

 trying to shake that dream 

but much to my surprise

 there was a message on my machine


I've got those Blues.....


Moral of the story

 it's easily said when you wake up and your car don't start

 you take the bus instead


I've got those Blues...

Lyrics:
Mystics stopped predicting stuff
Got to the point where enough was enough
And knowing...where we were going 
 Going to stop before we were popped
 Joint’s been cased and we never got caught
But the knowing…it got too much
Much for us the battle for love
The distant star and the hope from afar
 
But you never did crave it
Ride on ride on ride on
Ride on
 
Feeling the wind in your hair
Feel the cold    nocturnal air
Ride the air to the higher place
Ride the joy of a higher plain.

About the ones that we don’t feed….

But a bottleneck to feed!!!!!!
Where are those that love me!!!!!!
The voice it whispers through the breeze….

Guitar play, Mastering (Ozone 9) by David Lee Louthan

Keep An Eye On Your Circle (Ft. Mr. DUI)

Growing up in Darlington Pennsylvania, David Louthan started out developing his musical skills by picking up a guitar at age 13, and this self produced singer songwriter has never looked back.

It seems it took a while for the music production bug to bite fully, but in 2006 David set about stepping up his musical goals, and focused himself on seriously producing and recording the catalogue of songs he had started building up through his formative years.

David cites a diverse range of influences on his life, from the retro sounds of Tom petty, Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, and The Doors, to the slightly later sound of bands like The Red Hot Chili Peppers. When you listen to David's music the influences are evident, and he handles straight ahead acoustic guitar based tracks such as the Bob Dylanesque 'Just a Kid’ as skillfully as more psychedelic influenced tracks such as 'Misguided Fear'

The term singer songwriter is often used to define a genre of its own, but most artists who classify themselves as such generally want to impart the fact that the songs are telling the story.

Running through David's playlist of songs on his SoundCloud page, he tells a story of humble determination in pursuit of your dreams, with tracks such as 'Family' reminding the listener of the age old adage that if they follow their heart, they wont go far wrong in life.

Something I'm sure we can all relate to is the tale of growing up too quickly and succumbing to the pressures of adult life. Sometimes we'd all like a day off and spend the day in the proverbial candy shop, reliving those carefree days of our childhood. David's message in the song 'Just A Kid' reminds us that there's a higher power helping us out in life, which should give us permission that quitting our worries, and taking time out to get in touch with our childlike side wouldn't do us any harm now and again.

A similar theme runs through the laid back piano and acoustic guitar melodies of ‘There’s A Place’ which arouses a very 60’s influenced feeling, encouraging us to find that part of our psyche that gives us the freedom and serenity to create and visualize our dreams. Going by the creativity contained in his catalogue of songs, I’d say that in his music David Lee Louthan has definitely found ‘his place’.
