A dark smokey blues rebuke against oppression and the one who overreaches, usurps authority and tries to lord it over the people. The stinging chorus lines lay it all on the altar.

A musical rant against the evil entities and their minions. We all have a soul and a choice for what happens to it after we leave this place.

"Your Master's Waiting"
(c) 2018 Douglas K Clare

Lyrics:
V-1
Have a little patience—wash rinse and repeat
Keep a cooler head—get back in your seat
Don’t make it personal—time is a healer
I have a problem with the backward kneelers

V-2
Hands off our freedoms—they’re not yours to take
You’re playing with fire—it’s a big mistake
I have a lot of ammo—hidden from you sight
A force of justice—up high on the right

Chorus:
Don’t try to tell me that you have no soul
Don’t fool yourself—you choose where it goes
Everyone will check-in at the gate
Your master’s waiting—which one do you hate

V-3
You have dulled some minds and dimmed their wits
And have an army of useful idiots (no short supply)
Here’s a little promise—you can stake no claim
On many of us—we aren’t playing your game

V-4
We've got a lot of freedom in the Great I Am
We've got a lot of power coming to this land
You make it personal—time's not your healer
You have a problem—the King’s faithful kneelers

Chorus: (2x)

Bridge:
I can’t imagine the glut of one’s greed—Oh, my
To trade your soul for a little slice of the pie.—Oh, why? Why?

We've got a lot of freedom in the Great I Am
We've got a lot of power coming to this land

Your Master's Waiting (Demo)

"A Little Faith" is scheduled to go live at midnight tonight on May 27th, 2022. It is my second pro produced, single release.

This song of encouragement is intended to speak to people who have experienced childhood abuse and the devastating, lifelong effects that often lay a heavy burden on their whole being.  It acknowledges their pain and other's suffering due to persecutions of varying degrees. The melodic message offers the way to find peace and joy in their struggle to maintain what is considered a meaningful and fulfilling life according to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. A little faith is all you need!

A Little Faith

A lyrical appeal and encouragement to my fellow brothers and sisters to stay strong in Christ and prepare for Jesus' second coming when He'll rapture us to Himself in the clouds and then to be with Him forever in His heavenly kingdom. The signs that it is near are present and all encompassing.

Lyrics:

Minds are racing
Settle down now
Settle down now
And people pacing
Slow it down now
Slow it down now

The future’s here
Grab ahold now
Grab ahold of it
It’s moving faster
Hold on tight now
Hold on tight somehow

It won’t be long until we’re gone
There is no need to pack at all
Just tip your hat and don’t look back
As we’re raised up
Sing the new song

No ticket taken
Put it away now
Put it away now
Nor people faking
Step aside now
Step away from here

The book is open
Take a breath now
Take a breath and pray
The names are written
Hear the roll call
Hear your call know how
It won’t be long until we’re gone
There is no need to pack at all
Just tip your hat and don’t look back
You’ve been called
As we’re raised up
Sing the new song

Solo

Oh It won’t be long until we’re gone
There is no need to pack at all
Just tip your hat and don’t look back You are called
As we’re caught up
Sing the new song

It won't be long
Ooo-oo-oo
It won't be long
It won't be long
Until we sing that song
It won't be long
Until we are gone
It won't be long

It Won't Be Long - Single

It Won't Be Long

A slow mellow tune with intriguing spiritual lyrics.

Like I Am

Like I AM

An old-school, gospel blues song, and the story of my personal testimony that's certain to resonate with some, if not many listeners.

The Good News

The Good News (studio version)

My first Country single release was inspired musically shortly after my first visit to "Music City," Nashville, Tennessee. Conceptually and lyrically, it was crafted from the message in the Holy Bible, found in the book of 2 Chronicles, 7:14. A message that is very important to understand and put into practice in this generation and even more so with each passing day.

If My Love

A mellow, soft, country/folk/bluegrass tune with a strong message.

"Chasing Down The Wind" is an acoustic, original, singer/songwriter style song, inspired by the music style of John Meyer, but may sound a little like Christopher Cross, to some folks, or a combination of the two. The jazzy/folk song expresses the mood of a love gone cold, picking up the pieces and moving on. It is available on most popular, online, digital distributing sites (i.e., iTunes, Amazon, Spotify, etc.)

Lyrics:
"Chasing Down The Wind" (c) Douglas K Clare

V1
A fire in a lover’s sky
In a saddle on the wind,
Blazing high above the range,
And the heat, it burns within.

V2
We never saw the November rain
Moving in on us.
A steaming heart can turn so cold.
A stone formed in the dust.

Chorus:
So long, I’ve got to go.
I’m chasing down the wind.
So long, my heart’s in tow,
I’m learning ride again.

V3
Failing is no disgrace
It’s not too hard to do.
It’s likely to happen again.
It doesn’t make me the fool.

Chorus:
So long, I’ve got to go.
I’m chasing down the wind.
So long, my heart’s in tow,
I’m learning love again.


Chasing Down The Wind

I created an improvised sketch recording of this song idea in the month of June, 2016. About 4 months later I revisited it and decided to write lyrics and put finishing touches on the music. It's not a studio production, but it is available on most digital audio distributor's websites, for download, or streaming (i.e., iTunes, Amazon, Spotify, etc.)

The song has a very relevant message for the Christian community and anyone, for that matter. Many theologians are preaching that biblical, end-time, prophecies are occurring right before our eyes. Many believe WW-III (Armageddon) and the return of Jesus are at our doorsteps. I am in concordance, as I've had an interest in the study of eschatology for the past 20+ years. Through that span of time, I've had an inclination and a vision, as to the real possibility and even a good probability, that these events are upon us. I believe the teachings in the Book of Revelation and of the prophets are being realized. A gradual progression of reveling events since the mid 20th century and now all of the signs prophesied about are simultaneously pointing to the time of the Great Tribulation.

For years, my message has been to urge people to repent of their sins and turn toward God. To prepare our hearts, souls and minds for the awesome day of the Lord. This song is one of the ways I try to inform and encourage folks to walk in faith, always.

~Peace

"These Latter Days"
(c) 2017 Douglas K Clare

Lyrics:

Are you listening to the small still voice?
Are you ready for when saints rejoice?

Do you believe that you’re not alone,
As the fear mounts on the dawn of Rome?

Our light will shine.
Our light will shine.

Like a city on a hill in the dead of night.
Have pity on the ill drawn to the light.

These are the days before eternity.
These latter days before we’re set free.

Do you know penned words of prophets old?
Do you heed the past? It’s all been foretold.

Are you marching toward your eternal home,
With the sacred shield on the dawn of Rome.

Our light will shine.
Our light will shine.

Like a city on a hill in the dead of night.
Have pity on the ill drawn to the light.

These are the days before eternity.
These latter days before we’re set free. (2x)

These are the end of days.
These latter end-time days.
These are the end of days.
These latter end-time days.

These are the end of days.
These latter end-time days.
These are the end of days
These latter days lead to...the end.

These Latter Days (Demo)

My Nov. 1, 2019 Live Radio Interview and Performance of my Original Song "The Good News." (@11:07)

Hosted by Mike "MAC" McIntyre on "Mac In The Afternoon" program as the guest featured artist on a segment called "Mac's Music Cafe" at 103.5 FM WMUZ "The Light" Detroit made, Bible strong.

Check-out Mac's program M-F from 4:00-7:00 PM (EST) for a good mix of contemporary Christian tunes with Mac's unique entertainment style, keen biblical insights, and a vast array of musical knowledge. "Mac's Music Cafe" airs on Fridays at 6;00 PM (EST) and features local Detroit singer/songwriters. That, my friends, is a gracious and exciting opportunity for creative indie musicians to share their God-given creations on a platform that garners thousands of listeners in Mac's audience.

He takes a big risk by donating 20 minutes of valuable air time, devoted to raise up artists that are virtually unknown. A passionate musician himself, he sympathises with independent artist's uphill battle to get their songs heard in the public square. It's really quite compassionate, courageous and noble, of him. I, for one, am extremely grateful to him and he's as friendly in person as he is on the air, to boot. Kudos to my new friend, fellow musician, and my brother in Christ!!

My Radio Debut on WMUZ 103.5 FM Detroit(song @ 11:07)

"Pyro-Politician"
My first professionally produced Official Debut Single!
Copyright (c) 2020 Douglas K Clare

Release Date: October 30, 2020. Available on most all digital outlets, radio streaming, and platforms - just in time for the Presidential Election.

This song expresses my frustration with, and anger toward, our corrupt governing system, elected officials who contribute to it and they who cover it, don't cover it, or cover it up. A lashing rant of scorn upon the shameless and unrepentant bad actors, as they seek a complete power-grab and even global control over all people at any cost. I believe my lyrical and melodic message in this work will connect with over half of the country.

 Pyro-politicians, who are repressing and ruining lives with their lies and evil policies, that burn and render people helpless and dependent upon them for the scraps that they dole out. That is after gorging themselves with the people's money whom they are supposed to be helping to protect and serve, in exchange for the fair wages that we the people pay them.

Contributors to this publication:

Songwriting, performing and recording original music has been my biggest passion since I was the tender age of 17 years - I crafted "Freedom Road."
