This song is a hopeful farewell for those who believe our journey doesn't end when we're done living here.

Benediction – by Manny Jasus

(VERSE 1) 
Sleep well dear one
And find ye rest
In the arms of your Father in heaven

(CHORUS)
And we who wait for the sun to arise
Will stand and chase darkness away
And with these tears will wash sorrow away
And dance as you dance for your King

(VERSE 2)
Sing well dear one
And find ye song
In the choirs of your Father in Heaven

Benediction

Have you ever been with someone that makes you feel so hopeful that all you wanna do is dance? Do you have someone you share dreams about the future with - even if it isn't always clear, clean, or easy? This song is about choosing to face those challenges, even if you really don't want to, while still believing the sky's the limit for what the future holds.

Live the groove.

You and Me
Words and music by Manny Jasus

(VERSE 1)
Once, I said, that I thought we wouldn’t make it
But, in time, I recognized the lie
You, and me, we were meant for so much better
Now, our only, limit is the sky

You and me!

(VERSE 2)
Once, you said, that you thought we couldn’t take it
But, in time, you made a choice to try
You, and me, we were meant for so much better
Now, our only, limit is the sky 

You and me!
HA!

(BRIDGE)
Every time we’re feelin blue, all we have to do
Is find a song that moves our feet and lose it to the mood 
Ev’ry beat and every hook, shakes our bodies good
You and me, were meant to free, our funky attitude - HA HA!

Every time we’re feelin blue, all we have to do
Is find a song that moves our feet and lose it to the mood
Ev’ry beat and every hook, shakes our bodies good
We will continue live in the groove - HA!

(VERSE 3)
Once, we said, that we thought we couldn’t fake it
But, in time, we learned our alibi
You, and me, we were meant for so much better
Now, our only, limit is the sky

You and me!
You and me!
You and me!
You and me!

You And Me

Quick 'n dirty concept demo. Definitely ready for a writing session to flesh it out. Using placeholder drums and bass for now.

Dust – by Manny Jasus

(VERSE 1)
From the dust of the earth you were lifted.
To the dust of the earth you return.
In the meantime when nothing is moving,
I confess, I confess.

(VERSE 2)
From the eyes of the others I feel it.
To the eyes of the crowd I concede.
It was me I’m the reason you followed it through,
I repent, I repent.

(CHORUS)
Don’t you go, I’m not ready to let you leave.
Too much has been left unsaid between you and me.
Don’t you leave, I'm not ready to let you go.
Without you I’m swallowed whole, can’t breathe on my own.

Dust

This is the stripped down acoustic version of "The Robots Are Coming, So We Might As Well Dance"

The Robots Are Coming, So We Might As Well Dance
Words and Music by Manny Jasus

(VERSE 1)
The robots are coming
They're flying through space, to wipe out our race
The robots are angry
They're tired of being stereotyped and they're planning their revenge
The robots have landed
They're eighty feet tall and charging their death-rays
The robots are marching
They're crushing our cars, disrupting our Wi-Fi

(PRE-CHORUS)
And there's nothing we can do
They've burned our armies and our zoos
It looks like this might be the end for us
There's nothing left to say, don't try to run away
They have disabled Google Maps

(CHORUS)
So, dance, dance
There's nothing left to do
There's nothing left to do so
Dance, dance
There's nothing left to do

(VERSE 2)
The robots are talking
They're beeping out loud, and drawing attention
The robots are self-conscious
It seems they left to attack without packing pants
The robots are rusty
They've let themselves go, it's a little disgusting
The robots are nervous
they're feeling alone and are cold from the draft

(VERSE 3)
The robots are swaying
It seems that our dancing is shorting their circuits
The robots are shaking
Their dials are spinning, and smoke is shooting out their ears
The robots are crying
They can't beat our dancing and are leaving in defeat!

The Robots Are Coming (acoustic)

Happy St. Patrick's Day! This is a fun song to help usher in the holiday ... and I wanted an excuse to write an Irish drinking song :)

Get it here! https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/molly-an-irish-drinking-song/id622823536?i=622823540&ign-mpt=uo%3D4

Molly (An Irish Drinking Song) – by Manny Jasus

(VERSE 1)
OHHHH Molly was a noble gal, but still she liked to drink.
And so she'd tie a couple on, until she couldn't think.
But then she noticed by surprise, she had amazing strength.
So back up to the bar she went, and got another drink.

(CHORUS)
Oh Molly Molly Molly, you're a lovely lady.
Molly Molly Molly, you're a classy lass.
Molly Molly Molly, I think that I could love you.
Especially when you're angry 'cause you can kick my OHHHH ...  

(VERSE 2)
The patrons were beside themselves at Molly's transformation.
One by one they all approached in drunken salutation.
And so she beat them black and blue, until they'd had enough.
Proving once again that Irish women like it rough.

(VERSE 3)
Her nemesis was nasty, a burly, Scottish rogue.
He'd wait til she'd thrown back a few, and then he'd have a go.
He said that they should fool around, and Molly said "why not?”
She punched him in the bagpipe, then threw back another shot.

(VERSE 4)
Molly finally realized that drinking made her mad.
Especially when the barkeep said she had to pay her tab.
Instead of money on the bar, in trade for what she'd had.
She grabbed herself another pint and raised her glass instead.
