All These Lies by Edwin H Balder

(verse) Sitting in my car
afraid to write
the words that I am sending off to you tonight
it will  start with dear and then your name
and with every tear I'll break down in shame 

(Chorus) I didn't think I remember 
didn't think I remember 
what it's like to cry 
like to cry 
I wouldn't call it surender
just relief form all theses lies
all theses lies
didn't think I remember 
all theses lies

(Verse 2)I spell out the truth
spell out all the pain
hoping that somehow love can still remain
Please know I take all of the blame
treating our love like it was a game

(Chorus) I didn't think I remember what it's like to cry 
I wouldn't call it surender
 just relief form 
all theses lies
all theses lies
all theses lies
(Bridge)
do you get lonely do you ever get sad
do you get tired of feeling lost & mad
do you ever long for  the things we once had
Do you ever wonder why things didn't go as we planned

( outro)
I didn't think I remember
I didn't think I remember
I didn't think I remember
all theses lies
I didn't think I remember
all theses lies
I didn't think I remember
all theses lies
I didn't think I remember
all theses lies
all theses lies
all theses lies

All These Lies by Edwin H Balder

I wrote this for my kids  when I was young and on the road trying to make a name for myself...but my dog Pinky thinks it's for her!

Always Around By Edwin H. Balder

After my last song plays
and I've gone  home
don't be afraid
you're never alone
anytime you want
you don't need a phone 

know your voice
is a welcome sound
your never alone 
 I'm always around
no you're never alone
I'm always around
to clear the path 
to level the ground

around through sunshine
around tough the night
Around if you need me
to help make things right


I never left your side
I'm always right here
to celebrate wonder
and wipe away a tear

 know your voice
is a welcome sound
your never alone 
 I'm always around
no you're never alone
I'm always around
to clear the path 
to level the ground

around through the joy
around through the pain
around when you need 
to get back in the game
around cause I love you
and that will always be
around anytime anyplace
you need me to be


I never left your side
I'm always right here
to celebrate wonder
and wipe away a tear

Be Hard On Me By Edwin H. Balder

You are never to young too remember being younger...

All That We Have Seen By Songwriter Edwin H. Balder

Were we ever children, blindly running free,
Every worry invisible, buzzing like a bee.
Out of control, drifting on the sea,
Every dream possible, sweet childhood fantasy.

 Remember being young wild and free
Lost in stardust, under an old oak tree.
Frame your memories of time so serene,
Hold on tight, my friends, to all that we have seen.
Hold on tight, my friends, to all that we have seen.

In the golden haze of summer's past,
We danced in shadows fireflies cast.
soft  whispers under a moonlight glow,
hearts ablaze, seeking what to know    

Oh Remember being young, wild and free
Lost in stardust, under the old oak tree.
Frame those memories of time so serene,
Hold on tight, my friends, to all that we have seen.
Hold on tight, my friends, to all that we have seen.

Bicycles raced down sun-kissed streets,
Skinned knees, jokes,  ice cream truck "tricker" treats
our time a carousel, a merry-go-round,
Chasing after rainbows, skipping across the ground

Oh Remember being young, wild and free
Lost in stardust, under the old oak tree.
Frame those memories of time so serene,
Hold on tight, my friends, to all that we have seen. 
Hold on tight, my friends, to all that we have seen.
  
 Hold on tight, my friends, to all that we have seen.

All That We Have Seen By Songwriter Edwin H. Balder

I wrote this hoping one day Bonnie Raitt would find it!

Stay There By Songwriter Edwin H. Balder

(Verse 1)  Raindrops on vinyl, tracing memories,
In shadow tones, where our secrets used to be.
But you handed me an umbrella made of doubt,
And I danced in the downpour
 lost and without.
 lost and without.


(chorus) Luxury life lackadaisical
Contradictory life metaphysical
Powerful feeling to know you're in control
slips away for those who are not bold
and those who think fate is the master of destiny
stay there,  that's just where I want you to be
stay there,  that's just where I want you to be

(Verse 2)  Sunset serenade, whispers in the breeze,
Notes of surrender, tangled in the trees.
You held the strings, played my heart like a song,
But I reclaimed the melody... didn't play along.
didn't play along.

(chorus) Luxury life lackadaisical
Contradictory life metaphysical
Powerful feeling to know you're in control
slips away for those who are not bold
and those who think fate is the master of destiny
stay there,  that's just where I want you to be
stay there,  that's just where I want you to be

(Verse 3)  Vintage echoes, crackling through the night,
stark static interference, blinding my sight.
Yet I rewound the tape, found my own refrain,
In the quiet spaces where resilience remains.
resilience remains.

(chorus) Luxury life lackadaisical
Contradictory life metaphysical
Powerful feeling to know you're in control
slips away for those who are not bold
and those who think fate is the master of destiny
stay there,  that's just where I want you to be

We Lived it...OOOOOOOOOOH Baby!

Our Music Will Always Last By Songwriter Edwin H. Balder

(Chorus)
When the future looks to the past
our music will always last
Will always last.
Our Music will always last

 (Verse 1) Were you there for Springsteen at the Square 
Or Joni  Mitchell anywhere
Were you …were you there?
Did you see  Zeppelin or Floyd show
David Bowie  front row  
 Did you have to go?
 Did you see them play
 The Beatles  at Shea
 The Stones in LA
  Hendrix at Monterey
  Did you see them play?

 Did you make the quest
 to see Dwaine and Dickey Betts
 8 hour Dead fests
 Even Sinatra’s final sets
Did you make the quest?

(Chorus)
When the future looks to the past
our music will always last
Will always last.
Our Music will always last

(verse 2)What would life mean?
 If you missed Queen
  Airplane,  eagles or Santana’s seen    Never heard Yellow submarine
What would  life mean?
 
  So you saved up all your cash
 To see Crosby stills and Nash
 Even if  Woodstock was just a flash   The Who were a total bash  
Oh Yea...Dylan , Seeger, The Clash
 and Janis holding mass  

(Chorus)
When the future looks to the past
our music will always last
Will always last.
Our Music will always last  

(Bridge )music beyond grand
 we tripped across this land
If you were there ....
you understand

(verse 3) Elvis Presley
Paul Simon
Seger’s Bullet Band   
Elton or Billy on Baby Grand
Journey or U2 taking a stand
 music beyond grand
 we tripped across this land
If you were there ....
you understand

(Chorus)
When the future looks to the past
our music will always last
Will always last.
Our Music will always last 
 will always last

Our Music Will Always Last By Songwriter Edwin H. Balder

Suddenly.MP4

Pretending I wrote for Amy....

Roll Baby Roll  By songwriter Edwin H. Balder

Back to  wild times you and me  
Pot was illegal, but we were free

 Bought pot from Flat Toe Johnny, Three-finger bags, he was not funny . Panama Red, a legend, man,
token it up, whenever we can.

 In those days, it was all about the leaf, No flavors, no gummies, just rolled relief.

 Roll, baby,... roll, ....light up.... take it in,  
stems and seeds have to thin
 Old-school vibes,
 four twenty  to defend,
When wax was Johnson's,
and you got high with friends
When wax was Johnson's,
and you got high with friends

Back when we were wild  you and me, Pot was illegal, but we were free


 Pipes screwed together, every piece in place,
Rolling joints without tips, what a disgrace
Concentrate was orange juice, simple and neat,
 wake and bake made those days so sweet

 In those days, it was all about the leaf, No flavors, no gummies, just rolled relief.

Roll, baby,..... roll, ...light  up.... take it in,  stems and seeds have to thin
 Old-school vibes, four twenty to defend,
 When wax was Johnson's, and you got high with friends

Hash the top,
 Thai stick right there
if it got you high we didn't care
 through the smoke,
 the world seemed  bright,
 days of  hippie  high-ho delight

 No vape pens, just good ol' pipes,
 no pre rolls, we rolled our delights.
 memories fade,
 but our the spirit bright
 days of  hippie  high-ho delight
days of  hippie  high-ho delight

 In those days, it was all about the leaf, No flavors, no gummies, just rolled relief.

Roll, baby, roll, light it up take it in,  stems and seeds have to thin
 Old-school vibes, four twenty freedom to defend,
 When wax was Johnson's, and you got high with friends

 Back when we were wild  you and me, Pot was illegal, but we were free

Hash the top,
 Thai stick right there
if it got you high we didn't care
 through the smoke,
 the world seemed  bright,
 days of  hippie  high-ho delight

 No vape pens, just good ol' pipes,
 no pre rolls, we rolled our delights.
 memories fade,
but our spirit bright
 days of  hippie  high-ho delight
 days of  hippie  high-ho delight

Roll Baby Roll  By songwriter Edwin H. Balder

Welcome to the Hot Cookie days! After my coffee house days I put  my performance life away to build a family.but every week I tried to put a song idea in note book..Once I got old and family set I came back to my music doing a few songs a year...then I got this terminal type feedback on my timeline so I grabbed up the best music folk I knew over the years...put a studio band together (Hot Cookie) to record 100 HIT songs from the notes I took every week for 50 years. They are not for us to perform but for you to.  We picked just 2 songs from every year's notebook that we felt were hits that could change folks' lives if they covered them...so here they are. Contact us if you need the rights..Be well Do Well and thank you for the years of wonder...e
THE BACK STORY:
I was just 19 Way back bout 1969
a couple of new friends of mine
Hippy Joni & John Prine
gave me some listening time
50 years later down the line
what was voiced then is now
so wonderfully defined
by voices my music was meant to find
I wonder back into that dive hotel room now and then
and meet with old friends... Everyone making amends ...Time just transcends
Playing and singing our dream songs....Hoping stardom comes along
So we can all run away
And play everyday
In a cloud of smoke
Where nobody’s broke
Maybe one more toke and I can stay
SO
Too old ..
So little in the tank
Not near the time to get in all I want to thank
Thought all my music might someday get me bank
Cause God gave me talent but the check he wrote was a bit blank
And as I got older and my dreams of glory sank
I made what's here for you to see
hoping  my sad obscurity gets outflanked

I may be dead when fame comes but my real glory was always JULIE & The Kids. Thank you for such love
