The story of this song is that a man in a reality show asks a girl to dance. 

To be honest, I have never watched reality shows. I read a manga Oshi no Ko (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oshi_no_Ko) which is pretty nice, and gave me inspiration.

What I like about this song is that it changes modes back and forth several times.

*****************************
Verse 1:
In the spotlight's glow, I took the chance,
Asking you for attention, a scripted romance.

Dance with me 
Just a game to play
Dance with me 
But I didn’t know how my heart sways

Verse 2:
At first it was for the reality show, a scripted affair,
With each step we shared, we started to care.

Dance with me 
Lost in the rhythm, lost in your eyes,
Dance with me 
Wishing this could last beyond the lies.

Dance with me 
I don’t want to let it end 
Dance with me 
I don’t want you just a friend 

Verse 3:
Ah In this world of masks I see that truth often basks,
Ah My heart races fast, shedding all my past fatal tasks.

Verse 4:
Ah As music fades in the middle of this masquerades,
Ah My soul serenades, in these genuine escapades.

Dance With Me

For years I recorded in the basement, plenty of room but no sunlight. Lately I moved into my office, little room and beyond playing acoustic instruments, it never felt right. For one, no room for drums and keyboards, but I am inching back.

I was figuring out some new gear and started with a little thing with mandolin and drums. Three chords I first named Minor Fling, a reference to the chord changes.

First Fling

I was on the phone with a student from Boca; he was talking about how life would be good if he could just get out of his own way. Of course, John put it even better. 

lyrics: John Eagle
vocals, guitars, fiddle, melodica, percussion

I woke up this morning
And got out of bed
And what do I find
I’ve got rocks in my head
What did I do
Where did I go
What’s all this rattling
I need a cuppa Joe

Chorus
I need to get out of my own way
Before I run myself down
Try not to wander
To the middle of my road
When I come back from town

It happens more and more
The sirens calling me out
A glass of beer here
A couple shots there
Next thing you know
I’m with an old trout
Rap me in a newspaper
Right across the snout

Chorus

Home I’m just fine
Fair dinkum’s my game
But when I get the call
I’m just not the same
Blow the lid off
A benders on the way
In a couple of hours
Somebody drag the bay
Chorus

My Own Way

FIRST THING I'VE RECORDED IN A YEAR AND A HALF

GOODBYE WINTER . HELLO SPRING . instrumental

A request from a dear friend whom I have known since I was 17. 
We have shared some wonderful times through the years, on the Isle of Arran, Edinburgh and France. She is a constant light, and I give thanks for her friendship.
Recorded this morning, guitar and vocal together, then added some mouthie

Carey ( Joni Mitchell )

Wrote this little singalong many years ago for a fellow Soundclouder who was feeling a bit low. 
My daughter was in her early teens when she took the lead vocals, and my son was pre-teen.
I’m hugely indebted to the supremely talented Russ Sinfield for taking time out to mix and master this little pick-me-up - thanks a ton, mate, I’m really very grateful. (https://soundcloud.com/russell-sinfield #chaoscookhouse)
Enjoy!

Singing The Song (Brian Peters)

Looking for a brighter day
To come and wash your worries away
Hey come on now, come on

Searching for a bluer sky
And you don’t know the reason why
Hey come on now, come on

*You got to keep on holding on
You got to keep your spirit strong
You got to keep on singing the song
And it won’t be long*

Looking for that ray of hope
And finding that it’s hard to cope
Hey come on now, come on

Wishing on a shooting star
Trying to figure who you are
Hey come on now, come on

Well I ain’t walking in your shoes
And we all carry our own blues

Singing The Song

If you don't follow David Astl @david-astl-1-1
 then you should. He's quirky, he's
real, he's kind. Thank you brother Dave for letting me add a few bits to
this one!

It's a shame you didn't die when you were buried alive
It's a shame you didn't die when you were buried alive

Some people might think that I'm cruel
I want them to know I follow the golden rule
Yeah you got half a brain and you're killing it with alcohol
I don't care, I guess I don't care at all

It's a shame you didn't die when you were buried alive
It's a shame you didn't die when you were buried alive

Well, I Iooked after you, fed you too
when your girlfriend died, OD'd on heroin one night
and Brandy with her brain aneurysm
But now I'm afraid I don't want nothing to do with you

It's a shame you didn't die when you were buried alive
It's a shame you didn't die when you were buried alive

Some people might think that I'm cruel
I want them to know I follow the golden rule
and what's left of your brain
Ain't much, and it's a shame

It's a shame you didn't die when you were buried alive
It's a shame you didn't die when you were buried alive

CELEBRATION OF A TRUE WEIRDO  (Lyrics) song for Michael

My children are leaving my house to go their own ways. I have a lot of words to tell them but very few came out on face to face.....

Written and performed by Kyo
*******************************
Dawn breaks on the horizon wide,
Children, are you ready to stride?
Into the world you are gonna face,
Just for your grace.

I wanted to give you more,
In case you’re lost at shore.
I’m afraid that’s too much,
Stand on your own

It’s time for you to fly
Spread your wings and high 
In every blink
I love you more than you think 

Storms may brew, winds may howl,
My love is a constant vow.
Don’t forget I’m here for you,
Blessings what you do.

Distance grows, and time may pass,
Our love will bridge the vast.
Reach out, my darlings,
Don’t be quarreling.

It’s time for you to fly
Spread your wings and high 
In every blink
I love you more than you think

It’s time for you to fly
Spread your wings and high 
In every blink
I love you more than you think

Dawn breaks on the horizon wide,
Children, are you ready to stride?
Into the world you are gonna face,
Just for your grace.
Just for your grace.
Just for your grace.

It's Time For You To Fly

Hi. I'm Ed. First off, thanks for listening. 

You might notice a link below to a blog site John Eagle and I started to add a new dimension to the stories we tell. 

Once I played in a band that had two Elvises (Elvi) and adopted the pseudonym edro as a cover.  

Mostly it is me playing guitar, keyboards, mandolin, and whatever else makes sense for a song. Most of the songs are original with a few live. The originals are written and performed by edro. I have been fortunate lately to be involved with some collaborations with some real fine folks.
