Much liked! I've seen Max Ochs at a couple of house concerts recently here in the DC area.

Have I told you that I love you
Have I told you that I care
Have I said we’ll be together
In times of trouble I’ll be there

For the love that lies within you
In every beat of your heart
We can spend our lives together 
And we will never fall apart

In this life, that we choose
With the games that we play
It’s so hard, win or lose
But I will find the words to say

And tell you that I want you 
Forever in my arms
For each day when we’re together
No lonely nights when we’re apart

In this life, that we choose
With the games that we play
It’s so hard, win or lose
But I will find the words to say

And tell you that I love you
I will tell you that I care
And we can spend our lives together
In times of trouble I’ll be there

I’ll be there
In times of trouble I’ll be there

Have I Told You

Written, recorded and produced by K Gennery.

Image not my own.

Thank you Alise for being so generous with your time and talent and coming to work in my very basic home studio, with ancient gear and an ancient bloke. You helped to make the record exactly what I had imagined. It truely needed a gifted pianists touch and not my rough and heavy mitt's.
Twas a delight spending time with you. 

Heres the actual open mic performance.

The story:
I wrote this song on my acoustic guitar and started to record it that way, but just wasn't getting the vibe as I did when played live. I tried various ways to get it down with the guitar including an electric...nope, nothing happening.
So I  then thought maybe it wants to be a piano song but my wooden, plonkey key skills were not up to the task. About this time I was thinking possibly the song was not that good. Maybe I was feeling the emotion from the lyrics and not the melody. So I decided to play it at the next open mic, along with two other new songs and I asked the audience to pick which to record next. They all said this one.  On the way to sit back down Alise, who I knew was an amazing piano player, said, "Thats a beautiful song". So, I tried my luck and replied, "I'm just not getting it down with the guitar, what the song needs is a classically trained pianist, anyone spring to mind?" Alise smiled and said, "I would love to be involved". I was tickled pink.






Lyrics:
So many of us fall, cause we all heard the call,
to bleed blue and yellow.

For this is our own home, dust will cover our bones, forever,
we'll never concede.

If I can't be found, lightening marks the ground,
 if I can't be found, lightening marks the ground,
where I once stood.

Keep or children safe, teach them of our bravery.
Death in defiance, we'll never be compliant to invasion,
cause this is our nation.

If I can't be found, lightening marks the ground,
 if I can't be found, lightening marks the ground,
where I once stood.

Where I Once Stood

Lotus EP

Wake of the Lotus

A collab with electro synth popppers Highly Motivated Staff (check them out here: https://soundcloud.com/highly-motivated-staff). They added, as you may have guessed, a few synths here and there. A few of their underpaid staff were also forced to supply some "HOORAYs".

Enjoy!

Miserable Today (Hooray!) feat. HMS

A collaboration between :
Shane Beck, The Last American Poet (Words)
progettosonoro (Music)

Here between the beating of a heart that felt alive & true
And as the light of first morning gave me images of you
Knowing there was never any confusion in the love that I still see
As the pleasant breeze awakened my soul & you Surround Me

Were we not taken in by the memories of a love that could never end
Soft sounds of weeping & the reaching of this ghost child that began to descend
Should you be concerned that this broken soul is lost & will never be free?
Return the promise of eternal love & a word & please Surround Me

Shane Beck & progettosonoro - Surround Me

About the dissolution of a band, particularly my bands!!Trying to keep one together is futile, been “ cancelled “ a few times… not for inerrant behavior, but because of stated beliefs.., just a drummer who likes creating and recording hopefully cool tunes… I am nobody’s final judge… just a prompter on side stage… don’t endorse everything, but I am far from perfect.., but I profess and know, One who is… wish the cookie was still in tact, and we put it up on the refrigerator, for all to gaze at… trying to make new cookies, these days….I think it’s kinda like if Kurt Cobain sang with The Knaack! Could b wrong.., still hope you enjoy!!🤩🤩🤩😎😎😎

LOOKING AT YOU, THE PICTURE SAYS A MILLION WORDS
JUST LOOK AT YOU, AND ON AND ON AND ON I GO

THINKING OF YOU, I COUNT THE DAYS THE WEEKS THE YEARS
I THINK I KNEW, A WAY TO FIND ANOTHER YOU

I.....I THINK ABOUT, THE TIMES WE HAD AND ALL THE FUN,
AND WHEN WE LAUGHED, TO SEE THE SUN COME UP AGAIN,
AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON.....

I WISHED FOR YOU, BUT NEVER ONCE DID BREAK THE BONE
STILL LOVING YOU, AND ON AND ON AND ON I GO

I.....I THINK ABOUT, THE TIMES WE HAD AND ALL THE FUN,
AND WHEN WE LAUGHED, TO SEE THE SUN COME UP AGAIN,
AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON.....
(BREAK)
I.....I THINK ABOUT, THE TIMES WE HAD AND ALL THE FUN,
AND WHEN WE LAUGHED, TO SEE THE SUN COME UP AGAIN,
AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON
