I deleted this one earlier this year for whatever reason. But It's here to stay now.

Well it's a dud, caught in the middle of I know you should
You said you would, not counting stitches at the end of it
And there you go, there you go
It's just for show, it's just for show
--------------------------------------------------------
And if I say tomorrow, I'm burning down a bridge
You see the flames of sorrow and breathe the ashes
Cause' it's a dud, ah held on when you knew you could
You lost your foot, ah and fell from where you stood
From where you stood
--------------------------------------------------------
Well, in a nutshell, you're everything I thought you were
And standing sun, toss it in and let it burn
And there you go, there you go
It's just for show, it's just for show
--------------------------------------------------------
And if I say tomorrow, I'm burning down a bridge
You see the flames of sorrow and breathe the ashes
Cause' it's a dud, ah held on when you knew you could
You lost your foot, ah and fell from where you stood
From where you stood

Counting Stitches

Carole King composed this tune in 1971 but James Taylor's version made it famous. Performed on my Yamaha PSR-SX900 arranger keyboard.

Can you "Name That Tune"? I have a website that contains my complete collection of tunes with their titles revealed at: https://www.harveytwyman.com

Name That Tune #417 by Carole King

Hey everyone! "How to Lose a Man" is a fun and sassy track all about flipping the script on traditional dating norms. It's about taking control of your love life and not being afraid to go after what you want. I wanted to create a song that celebrates confidence and independence. It's about being unapologetically yourself and not settling for anything less than you deserve. Through "How to Lose a Man," I hope to inspire you to take charge of your romantic journey and have some fun along the way. So, if you're ready to shake things up and turn heads, this track is for you!

Tasha - How To Lose A Man

I Don't Care

In Real Life is a fun song with an irresistible groove about the duality of our personas in digital realms like social media that allow us to present an image to the virtual world that is not necessarily who we are in real life. The idea came from the abbreviation IRL coming into the language to designate the distinction between real life and the virtual worlds we visit where we are not constrained or defined by who we are IRL.

In real life, you ain’t no super model
Baby, but you’re still beautiful!
In real life, I ain’t no rock star
But every chance I get
I sure enough rock!

I ain’t no algorithm
I’m virtually a person
I’ve got my own damn story
And most if it is virtually true!

In real life I’m virtually a rock star
Yeah I’m a rock star baby
In real life you’re virtually a super model
Doin’ the cat walk baby
In real life you influence virtually everyone

In real life, its virtually true
In real life, you’re a virtual star
IRL I’ll make you a bet
That what you see ain’t what I get

In real life, you ain’t no super model
Oh baby, but you’re beautiful!
In real life, I ain’t no rock star
But every chance I get
I sure enough rock!

I ain’t no algorithm
I’m virtually a person
I’ve got my own damn story
And most if it is virtually true

In real life I’m virtually a rock star
Rock star rock star rock star
In real life you’re virtually a super model
A super duper model
In real life you influence virtually everyone darling

In real life, its virtually true
In real life, you’re a virtual star
IRL I’ll make you a bet
That what you see ain’t what I get

In real life I’m virtually a rock star
Yeah I’m a rock star baby
In real life you’re virtually a super model
Doin’ the cat walk baby
In real life you influence virtually everyone
You have followers baby

In real life, its virtually true
In real life, you’re a virtual star
IRL I’ll make you a bet
That what you see ain’t what I get

Say it how it should be

The second track to be the same length over 9 minutes as a vocal track like this, after Foul-Mouthed Parrot was the first one that was super long.

This thing in my own assessment is strong in the early to middle but cringe at the end  because of Time constraints.  It would get re-takes of all the vocals for the last third at a later time (TBD!), like one of my "Alpha Remaster" type releases.  I juggle a 9-5 job and am not full-time musician and yeah it shows lol.  It should have been either chopped to half length or the entire second half needed more takes landing the vocals on probably different melody notes against the instrumentals.

Film At Eleven v2

Film At Eleven

[Intro]
Just two friends in an old car ride
Hearts wide open, nowhere to hide
The heater’s broke, but we don’t mind
We’ve got girl problems and time

[Verse 1]
Me and Bill were tight since ninth grade gym
Talkin’ 'bout love on a teenage whim
The old car rattled like a coffee can
But it rolled uphill like a stubborn man

We found a spot where the stars stood still
Engine off, just parked on a hill
Cold air wrapped us like a woolen sheet
While we fixed the world from a bench seat

[Chorus]

Hi there fellas, said the man in blue
We jumped like kids with nothin' to do
No beer, no smokes, just talkin’ it through
He laughed, said, “I’ve been young like you”
Foggy windows and frozen toes
Just spillin’ secrets the heart only knows
“Hi there fellas,” now it makes us grin
Two boys talkin’ 'bout love again

[Verse 2]
Bill’s girl left him a note on his shoe
Mine just said, “I need someone new”
So we played like shrinks with a dashboard light
Two hopeless romantics on a Saturday night

Didn’t need a party, didn’t need a plan
Just a bench seat, and a brother in man
Sometimes the best nights have no design
Just you, the stars, and a friend who’s kind

[Chorus]
"Hi there fellas," said the man in blue
We smiled through the fog, didn’t know what to do
No crime, no fuss, just payin’ our dues
He said, “Keep talkin’—it’ll get you through”
Cold air outside, but hearts were warm
Two teen philosophers ridin’ the storm
“Hi there fellas,” still rings like a bell
That night we had nothin’ to sell

[Bridge]
Now Bill’s in Denver, I’m in L.A.
We text now and then when life goes astray
But when I’m feelin’ lost or need a grin
I think of that knock—and Bill

[Final Chorus]
Hi there fellas, echoes in time
Of broken hearts and friendship prime
No cuffs, no trouble—just caught mid-rhyme
Two boys sortin’ love in a teenage mime
We had no answers, just the drive
But man, that night we felt alive
Hi there fellas, what a perfect scene
Two kids, one cop, and fogged up dream

[Outro]
Fog on the glass, stars overhead
Laughin’ at the tears we both had shed
Just Bill, me, and a night so grand
With a cop who seemed to understand
Hi There Fellas!

Hi There Fellas!

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
as my mind tells me
different things
my heart beats fast
then slow, it skips
I freeze

I'm hot, I'm cold
I'm fine, I'm not
I'm fire, I'm ice

burning with love
I retreat to an arctic heart

[Chorus]
I'm so confused
its the fear
i know 
its the fear

I'm so confused
its the fear
i know 
its the fear

with hearts cracked open
we bleed on each other
can we heal together
or do we both 
drown in the blood

I'm so confused
its the fear
i know 
its the fear

I'm so confused
its the fear
i know 
its the fear

is it a warning
or am i reinforcing
admonitions 

[Verse 2]
as my trauma 
comes to bare 
my heart breaks
I crash then blow, 
I hurt, I just
freeze

I'm hot, I'm cold
I'm fine, I'm not
I'm fire, I'm ice

burning with love
I retreat to an arctic heart

[Verse 3]
are my feelings valid
i don't know
am I afraid
afraid to be happy
afraid to be hurt
I don't know

[Chorus]
I'm so confused
its the fear
i know 
its the fear

I'm so confused
its the fear
i know 
its the fear

with hearts cracked open
we bleed on each other
can we heal together
or do we both 
drown in the blood

I'm so confused
its the fear
i know 
its the fear

I'm so confused
its the fear
i know 
its the fear
