Go To Heaven (Live Edit 84) - The DPs

You know how Friday morning, you wake up and think "ugh, gotta go to work..." and then you remember it's almost the weekend?

Friday Morning

This is a true story, or so I imagine.


Ima let you love me

You only knew me to see me
And that was all.
Never showed that you noticed
Or liked what you saw.
I often crossed your street
But never your mind
And all the time
You were thinking

Ima let you love me
Ima let you love me all night
Ima let you love me all night long

Finally you walked up 
and spoke your mind.
Asked me “are you stupid
Or just blind?”
You said you couldn’t hide
The fire inside
Not if you tried and
And you were thinking

CH

Ima let you love me, baby
Ima love you best
Ima be forever baby
Now that you said “yes”.

Now we’ve heard all the speeches
And drunk our toasts
Surrounded by the ones
We love the most
Before we trip the light
Let’s do this right
This is our night 
And I’m thinking

CH

Ima let you love me

Ima Let You Love Me

She's A Woman In Love

The late summer breeze
Just made me shiver
Between you and me
I knew it was over
there was no other way 
I could read your signs
there was nothing I could do
to change your mind
Watching the leaves
show their true colors
abandon the trees
like summer lovers
now and then I would look 
and you would turn away
ask you "do you love me?"
and you'd hesitate
A change in the season
cold wind in my hair
tell me the reason
that you're not there.
There was no other way, baby
to read your signs
there was nothin 
I could say
that would change your mind.

Summer Lovers (remix)

Title is from a Rock Hudson film, but that's all the song shares in common. Can't really describe the music, except to say I'd love to hear Duran Duran cover it...with help from Simple Minds...and featuring Jimmy Somerville on the bridge. Yeah. That would be cool.


All That Heaven Allows

Rough demo with scratch/guide vocal. You've heard of falsetto? This is fake-setto.

I don’t want your sympathy
I just want your
I don’t want your sympathy
I just want your body

I don’t want your charity
I just want your
I don’t want your charity uh huh
I just want your money baby

I don’t care what you think of me
I just want your
I don’t care what you think of me
I just want your honey baby

M8
People say what you want to hear
When all you want is truth
I don’t care what the people say
As long as I have you.

People Say

This track starts quiet and builds from there. Close your eyes and imagine the opening credits scene in a movie or tv show. Or chop it down and use it under a breakfast cereal commercial! Or just sit back and enjoy. For some reason the sound of the horns reminds me of British TV circa 1970. Thoughts?

Friday Morning (extended Remix)

This is the first thing I ever did on Garageband. The bass and drums are loops. The piano  and synths I created by layering lines I "wrote" in musical notation. (And which the software then played - not me. I neither own nor play a proper piano.) I'm a VERY poor sight reader. I barely know my treble clef. Using Garageband's musical notation function, I placed notes in the staff, creating chords and lines that LOOKED like they might sound vaguely ...musical. (The resulting "melody" seems to meander in and out of time, like a drunk stumbling home down a dark, inner city sidewalk.) Hence the title, I wouldn't likely have stumbled upon this, had I been a better musician.

A little knowledge is a dangerous thing

First two lines of the song came to me after reading "Shakey", the 2003? unauthorized biography of Neil Young. The rest and the chorus just flowed from there. Decided to end the way I began, as kind of an homage to Neil -- so the song transitions to and fades out on what I call the "crazy horse jam".
