It could be interesting to develop this song with bass and drum.

i'll remember this song forever now.it's got a catchy lil tune to it.

You have to sing this live more often.  I was looking for this song since last Friday night's Jam session. You kill this tune live.

Uh Oh, Oopsy Daisy&#13;

&#13;
Some days are just disasters, I don't know what I'm after&#13;
I just know it's not here and it's not right now&#13;
It's a cyclical confusion, contradictory infusion&#13;
That's set up camp, planted right between my brow&#13;
&#13;
And there's a little poem that I mumble when I make mistakes &#13;
When enough is just enough, feelin’ kind o’ rough&#13;
Here is what I say, I say...&#13;
&#13;
&#13;
Uh oh, oopsy daisy, too slow. but I'm not crazy &#13;
Guess I’m just a gettin all my ducks lined up&#13;
It's not a train wreck proposition, all the chances I've been missing&#13;
You could call it tough luck but it's just me&#13;
Drop this line that I been livin by, don't try to fly to high&#13;
Don't make a wreck out of things, I say&#13;
Uh oh, oopsy daisy, too slow, but I'm not crazy&#13;
Guess I'll just a wait and see what tomorrow brings&#13;
&#13;
Some days are just a hazard, and everything plays backward&#13;
I don’t know which ways up and which way’s down&#13;
For all I try, my fumbling, can’t find a path, my world sit spins&#13;
And everything things a blur when I look around&#13;
&#13;
Here’s a lit chant that I count on when I’m astray&#13;
When enough is just enough, feelin’ kind of rough&#13;
Here is what I say...&#13;
&#13;
&#13;
&#13;
And here’s a little dance that I side step when I slip up&#13;
When enough is just enough, feelin’ kind of rough&#13;
Here is what I say, I say…&#13;
&#13;

LYRICS

Verse
How many times have I tried to get close
And how many times did you turn away
Whatever it is, why not let me in
Give me a chance and meet me halfway

Verse
Why do I need to make sure that you see
That I'm here for you, whatever you do
I'm a silhouette, just more grey than black,
A fool with a love that's long overdue

Chorus
You're on ice,
Frozen in time 
Holding on until 
Someone comes along and 
Thaws out your ice, baby

Verse
What can I do to show you how much
I love who you are, whatever you did.
Your ice is so cold an I can't get a hold
Of your love, and I'm afraid to commit

Chorus

Ice Baby - G-YAWS

Invasion by Tim Behrens © 2014&#13;
&#13;
It's a violation of my space, &#13;
these fearful thoughts, this panicked race&#13;
no rhyme or reason, all four seasons&#13;
creeps in and invades&#13;
&#13;
It's a compilation of my doubts&#13;
That inner voice, the things he shouts&#13;
no yin and yang, it's all the same&#13;
Through dark waters, wading and betrayed&#13;
&#13;
&#13;
Gotta get 'em out, make 'em stop, keep on breathing, lose the props, &#13;
it's really kind of worthless acting sane&#13;
Push 'em back, stay on track, when those thoughts bite, you bite em back&#13;
This abduction isn't real, it just a game… it’s just a game&#13;
&#13;
It's worse when the sun goes down&#13;
When sleep won't come, I’m counting down&#13;
No turning back, the clock's one way&#13;
creeps in and invades&#13;
&#13;
All the things I should have done,&#13;
 Accumulate, the stories spun&#13;
no good to dwell, these questions hell&#13;
Through dark waters, I'm wading and betrayed&#13;
&#13;
 &#13;
I’m my own worst enemy, don’t let this get a hold of me&#13;
Got to find some peace of mind and move on&#13;
Gotta keep all these ramblings still, gotta let all these secrets spill&#13;
Nothing can hurt me when it’s gone&#13;
 &#13;


Invasion - G-YAWS

My G-YAWS song for the week, based on the theme 'The Thing I Forgot'.  Very much in a rough form, but had a lot of fun writing and recording this in an evening.  Looking forward to fleshing it out some.

The Thing I Forgot by Tim Behrens © 2014

(v1)
When there’s something I forgot, I make a list of things it’s not
And somewhere in between I might stumble on what it is
It’s not the stress that buries days, that leaves me tired so many ways, it’s not the things I lose myself in, or things I’ve yet to live

(v2)
When there’s something I forget, I sit, I breathe, I write, and ponder it
What’s floating in the silence in between a longing wish
It’s not the hurt that’s piled upon, it’s not the roads that twisted long
It’s something that sounds easy, but is easier to miss 

(prechorus)
It’s not the list of things I’ve done, not the battles picked or won, there’s something more to put my finger on and I’m on it now

(chorus)
The thing I forget is there’s really nothing over yet, and straight lines make pictures far afar
If I follow all the things it’s not, make distance from the school of thought, what’s left is often  shining like a star
  
(v3) 
When I know something’s slipped my mind, I spin and turn and toss in time
 staring down the crossroads what went wrong what went wrong
 I carry through the motions, dedicated to the notion 
 That everything will fall in place, and if not there’s still a song
   
(prechorus)

(chorus)

Times Are Changin (Everythings Gonna Be OK) - words & music written & performed by Eddie Conlon. ©2014 Edward L Conlon. All rights reserved.

(Lyrics).....
Times are changing, changing day by day
Doesn't matter what they say, they're gonna change anyway
Times are strange, i know you know they are
They are quite bizarre, has it gone too far........

Just try to be aware
Try not to be so scared
Throw off your worries and cares
And try n get your share
Everythings gonna be alright
Please just try not to fight
Everythings gonna be ok
No matter what they say

Times are changing, and you know it's true
Ain't nothin you can do, the change 'ill come over you
But the mind plays tricks and it can make you fear
Even what is so clear, the change is already here......

The changes come so fast
They sweep away the past
Everythings gonna be ok
It's just another day
Just hang on, hold fast
And let the worries pass
Everythings gonna be alright
Please just try not to fight.....

(solo)

It's ok, it's only in your mind
Everythings gonna be just fine, so quit your cryin
Just ride the changes, make them work for you
It's all that you can do, if you wanna make it through......

Just try to be aware
Try not to be so scared
Everythings gonna be alright
Please just try not to fight
Everythings gonna be ok
No matter what they say
You don't have to feel that way
It's just another day......

No matter what they say
It's just another day
You don't have to feel that way
Everythings gonna be OK









Times Are Changing - (Everythings Gonna Be Ok)

These five songs were recorded during a live performance at Teavovlve Cafe on February 7th 2015.

I Never Go Around Mirrors  - Lefty Frizzell Cover

Doug Jackson is a singer / songwriter / acoustic guitar player from the Baltimore, Maryland area. Beginning almost 21 years ago as a hobby, Doug has played at many of the local hot spots to weddings to festivals in and around the Baltimore Metro area. His love for music and the way he entertains people is beyond magical. His acoustic guitar and voice give way to positive energy. He has this gift of making people happy with the endless catalog of covers songs along with his own original music. However, cover songs are his passion. Doug is able to take a cover tune and make it his own. That in itself is very moving and powerful.

​

Doug’s influences and inspirations are quite amazing. Such influences begin with artists from the 1950’s like Sam Cooke to the British Invasion of The Rolling Stones and The Beatles. He often plays songs from the singer / songwriter’s of the 70’s like John Denver, Gordon Lightfoot and legendary rocker, Neil Young. You might even hear a cover of a Bob Dylan tune. Doug is full of surprises like that. Artists from the 80’s and 90’s are not overlooked either. Doug can cover just about anything from that time period. His interpretation of the 90’s Alternative era is even more impressive. Bands like Collective Soul, R.E.M, and Red Hot Chili Peppers have made their way into his repertoire.

​

Recently, Doug has been collaborating with Dusty Bradshaw from Chattanooga, TN. Dusty is a seasoned guitar player / singer / songwriter. His work on the these tracks is simply a beautiful thing. These two artists have produced some catchy alt-folk and alt-rock tunes. Songs like ‘The Tin Man’ and ‘You and Me.’ You will also see a song called ‘Leaving Cincinnati.’ This track is the collaborative effort of Frank Bluegrass from Google+ and Doug Jackson. This is the first track that Doug recorded and shared on Social Media. This is a much laid back tune that longs for getting home to his love after a disastrous flying experience.

​

“Nowadays, it is internet only and for fun! No pressure on earning the mighty dollar,…. (although a hobby that pays for itself is nice!), it is nice to play just for playing’s sake.” – Doug
