U Believe Me? (Prod. GAXILLIC & ELLE GANTE)

The Search

Those of you 
Who hope 
To know me 
Those of you 
Will be renewed 

Those of you 
Who hope to know me 
Will soar on wings 
Of the eagles carrying you 

On Eagle’s Wings
On Eagle’s Wings

You will run and not be weary 
You will walk and not be faint 
Your strength lies with me 
Each and every single day

Trust that I am here
Trust that I will never leave you
If you ever fall off these wings
Know that I will fly for you
To see me, it will not be a dream

On Eagle’s Wings
On Eagle’s Wings

I can do all things through
Faith empowers me to move
I can do all things through
Faith empowers me to move

On Eagle’s Wings
On Eagle’s Wings


On Eagles' Wings

Margin of Error

Update:

I just learned that James Horbett, whose music inspired this song, passed away last year after a courageous battle with cancer. 

His wonderful music, song craft and incredible talent will always remain an inspiration to me, but the world is a poorer place without him.

RIP James Horbett, 1987-2019

Based on a chord sequence from the song 'There's No Constant' by James Horbett, this was the first rhythm guitar song I wrote using my 12-string guitar.

Lyrically inspired by the song 'Wharf Rat' by Robert Hunter and Jerry Garcia, and (somewhat obviously) by the movie 'On The Waterfront'.

Lyrics:
When I was young and I was strong
Back when I worked the Waterfront
I know I could have been someone
So long ago....

Once I was loving, I was loved
I never thought I'd have no-one
I know I could have been someone
Now I don't know...
And now I walk the Waterfront
What have you done?...

Some memories I can't forget
I know I'm not defeated yet...
I know I could have been someone
What have you done?
But now I'm on the Waterfront
What have you done to me?

On The Waterfront (Jim's Song)

Home Recorded for fun just to see if I could. Just me and the guitar and whatever I could scare up with plugins and Reaper.

Overwhelmed By the Blues

Au revoir M Le President
Au revoir et bon nuit
Vous n'avez pas la notre sympathie

Au revoir,  Nous sommes désolés 
Le puissant babouin, il a trompé
Overwhelmed by the Blues

You can't bring yourself to hear the bad news
No one taught you how to lose
Overwhelmed by the Blues

Not enough crosses - You didn't win
Far too comfortable  in your skin

Without your clothes now - We all see
You're a nought, a nothing  - History is what you are
The lame duck,  President Provisoire

Hero to zero in the blink of an eye
Not a tear to be shed as we wave you goodbye
Overwhelmed by the Blues

Au revoir, M  Le President
Au revoir et bon nuit
Overwhelmed by the Blues

Allez Maintenant!   Go find a wiper
One of your goons will change your diaper
You don't get no sympathy

Au revoir,  M Le President

Overwhelmed By the Blues (Schadenfreude Edition)

It's a song about warm weather and a cold, broken heart. And cheap souvenir merchandise. (Tchotchkes: A cheap souvenir or trinket)
From the Album
"A Suburban Dadaist With Some Store Bought Beats" (2020)
 
Lyrics:
Hey, where did you go?
Don't you know that the trade winds blow?
You left me here
With a sunburn
In the 3rd degree
Holding my Waikiki tchotchkes
Waikiki tchotchkes
Did you take my American Express?
Oh yes, good lord, you did!
I've got my puka shells
Only time will tell
If you'll come back to me
Waikiki tchotchkes
Sunburn in the 3rd degree
You left me holding my Waikiki tchotchkes
Waikiki tchotchkes
That really stinks for me
The Hawaiian Luau Buffet was buy one and get one free

Waikiki Tchotchkes
