You always make such great rocking songs.

Coming back to this rocking gem again and again.

IN THE RAIN (JunkHeap (c) Jul 2020 / Remixed/fixed Aug 2023)

In the rain, our arms wide to you.
In the rain, you save our souls, yes you do. 

...and the rain, it's a time for me to say 'I love you'.
with the ring, with a kiss.  My love, I hope it'll do.

Mesmerizing pitter-patter;
scent of a fresh storm; 
Delicious seeing water dripping down your form.
A cool drink from the clouds, 
nothing makes a person live their life more fully,  
like knowing how fleeting it can be. 

Break.

In the rain.
Feeling you splashing down from the heavens. 
In the rain, 
you make the clouds go away.
Kids can dance in the puddles made by you.
In the rain,
we know you are true.

Water droplets on my girlfriends lips, 
entices me to kiss them.
Wet leaves falling from trees, so precious...
...a clap of thunder after a funeral procession,
says that they'll go to heaven.

In the rain,
on a tin roof; window pane.
Hold my hand, love a rainy day.
as the drops come down so free.

In the rain...

SOUP OF THISTLES 

Returning and turning in the widening gyre 
The falconer holds out a golden ring from the tower 
Captive and burning and full of desire 
The falcon pulls feathers from her wings to count the hours

And so
Ad infinitum 
Is the crow 
Compelled to steal
And so
Ad infinitum 
Are we drawn 
Into the wheel
Into the wheel

Turning and burning in the heat, of hearth and fire 
The feathers, the letters, the fingers form a winged spire
There’s flapping and scurrying aloft up in the rafters 
Where the bats are left to read and the finger moves on higher

And so
Ad infinitum 
We forget 
Why we were singing
And so
Ad infinitum 
The choir cannot lift the ceiling
The spinning wedding ceiling
Stealing
And so
We go

Around and around  and do it over again! 
Ad infinitum
Around and around  and do it over again! 
Ad infinitum

Returning and turning in the widening gyre 
Unseen by the hawk was Icarus flying higher
Why do we love when we know it’s trespassing
A puppet heart managed by the clock – foolish arms flailing

And so
Ad infinitum 
We watch for 
Six jet planes’ trails
And so
We prepare  our soup of thistles
And we settle down to feather 
And we wonder about the weather
Listen for the 
Falcons' bells together and
Cover our eyes with leather
Oh Icarus dear boy
Waxed and waned
Ah Amelia dear heart
Tarred and feathered...

Levinson & McWalter- June 2020

And So

Soup Of Thistles

Let U Go

Someday I hope I find you
All alone in a grassy meadow
I'll be the wandering soldier
And you with a light amnesia

I'll do all the things I did before
But this time I'll do them better
I'll say all the things I said before
But this time I'll say them sweeter

Wind you up and watch the show
Then let you go
Wind you up, enjoy the show
And let you go

I'll open my eyes and shut my mouth
And just watch the dark clouds passing
Open my heart and shut my mouth
And just watch the damsel dancing

Wind you up and watch the show
Then let you go
Wind you up, enjoy the show
Then let you go
Wind you up and watch the show
Then let you go
Wind you up and watch the show
Then let you go

Let U Go

Expression thru chance/Surrender to chance/Play the dice man roll your own questions on any street corner/Play safe only when it is dangerous to do so/Rip up all your tomorrows throw the pieces into the air/Let them flow follow the heart.  
Tuned for more exciting news...

 "David is a great post-protopunk-singer/songwriter-with a dash of industrial-upper-Midwest-infused-drum-machined-mayhem-but-with-soul."  DJ Paul Critz, KFUG Radio. 

Songwriters who have that way with words, that ability to make any phrase sound like rock 'n' roll, they're always interesting, no matter what they're saying or what key it's being said in.  David Stephenson has it!
