Lyrics by Paul Suhr:


I’ll be home tonight, just in time to sing you this lullabye
So relax your mind
Relax your mind, breathe it in and sing, “now’s the only time”
I’ll be home tonight 

Let go. Believe who you are inside your dreams
Inhale the light as I sing you through the night

The sun tomorrow will dry your tears and sorrows
The path is narrow just keep the faith and follow. 


LET GO (Alma Desnuda)

Consoling, emotive, accepting death gracefully, letting of the physical world, knowing and trusting that ones spirit lives on, peacefully moving on into the next world

Lyrics by Chris Bryden


Now it’s time for me to die
This is the last time ever that I close my eyes
Oh my darling don't you cry
Cause I'll be watching over you with a soul purified 

Oooooh, you will feel me, watching you  
I said little momma don't shed a tear
As I leave my body I have no fear
Cause I gave all my love away
So you best believe the better part of me stays 

Oooooh, you will feel me, watching you

Now this is my last goodbye
But I feel so at peace with you by my side
And if they ask "How'd he go?" you can reply,
"He died with a smile he was good to die." 

I’m good to die, I’m good to die

Can you feel me? 
 


GOOD TO DIE (Alma Desnuda)

Lyrics by Paul Suhr and Tony Glaser:

Across the mountains is a sacred place.
Where the rules are broken but nobody pays
To the wind we blow away
All the things that people say
In the trees that flow and sway
Lives the love that we betrayed.

How good was that?
So good

The love that binds us spans all space and time
And what defines us
Are these here stars aligned

You're in time
For so long
Just in time
For so long

How good was that?
So good

Playing music with my friends
Not feeling like I have to pretend
So good

Getting up after being knocked down
The whole time without a frown
So good

Chicken wings and collard greens
The simple things, man, you know what I mean
So good

Kicking back with my girl
Enjoying life in our own world
So good


SO GOOD (Alma Desnuda)

    Lyrics by Chris Bryden and Paul Devoto:


Out surfin’ on the waves that life has brought to me
Ebbin’ flowin’ never knowin’ when the swell will sleep, So I’m
Cuttin’ carvin’ in charge of the ocean I am free
Livin’ large until the water rips me from my feet 

Well I Tried 

Back on board I can't afford to let life level me
Who will I become if I'm not winning endlessly? So I’m
Waiting for my wave all day yes waiting patiently
Suddenly tsunami SLAMS...knocks me from my feet 

Flyin’ By

You know I can’t sympathize 
When all around are crashing waves of provocation
You can grab that board of yours
And let the ride become your source of inspiration

Soul Surfin
Need some soul surfin  
First time in my life realized my soul’s perfect
Eyelids arise revealing whole person
Nothing gets you lovin’ again like when ya
Lettin’ go to be in the moment observe my breathing
And the way that it’s flowing it’s like the wave of the ocean
And suddenly I see it’s all right, all right
I close eyes, open mind, grab board and ride 

Awaken the soul, when it’s naked it’s whole
So make it naked and awaken the soul 

Awaken to a shaded sun I'm sittin’ by the tree
The gift I got I'm lovin’ no more fork in road for me, So I
Head down to the ocean where it hits me like a glove
Stare into myself the ocean is me we are love 

Ridin’ High
You and I 


SOUL SURFIN' (Alma Desnuda)

Taking time to call your Grandmother; how this simple act makes her day, remembering our loved ones who are no longer alive, celebrating family,  honoring our grandparents, the power of little things making a change, 

Grandma’s Day (3:38)
Chris Bryden - Vocals, Acoustic Guitar
Paul Suhr - Ukulele, Vocals
Joe Glaser - Drums and Percussion, Vocals
Tony Glaser - Upright Bass, Vocals
Daniel Mark - Mandolin

Lyrics by Chris Bryden:

I can make my grandma’s day
Just by picking up the phone and calling to her
Though my grandpa’s passed away
I still feel his love echo in my veins

Oh my words they are like vessels sailing meaning to your ears
Once they dock inside your mind the effect remains unclear
Hearing this may conjure images or magic fantasies
But my intention is to bring you closer right here next to me
Stay with me

There are so many things I can share with you
Stay with me
We can travel through the world sail the seven seas

Silence lives behind these words
But the voices in our head won’t leave us alone
And when I listen I am heard
The voices of our ancestors are saying “please slow down.”

In the future we think we will know it all and understand
So we push the present to the past as quickly as we can
Hearing this may conjure images or magic fantasies
But my intention is to bring you closer right here next to me
Stay with me

There are so many things I can share with you
Stay with me
We can travel through the world sail the seven seas

Lyrics by Chris Bryden

Let me write a letter now to the one I love, oh Adelaide
It’s late at night and I seek the comfort of your touch
Oh Adelaide

Will time take you too?
I feel you slippin from my hands
What else can i do to be true?

That day we sat upon the hill i knew that You’d love me until the end of time
But you said love was not enough to keep our ship afloat
God how i hope that you are wrong

Oh and when I die
You know i want you by my side
Oh when i come home I want you there

If it were true that just by writing songs for you that all would be okay
You know that’s all i’d do
And if it turns out that we’re just not meant to be
It won’t be because i wasn’t true to me

So let me sign this letter now to the one i love,
Oh adelaide
Until we meet again my love my love i send to you
Until the end of time

Lyrics by Chris Bryden, Tony Glaser, and Paul Suhr:

Her name’s Colette
She drives a pink Corvette
When she jumps in the swimming pool
She doesn’t even get wet

Colette in your pink Corvette
I heard you just ran a marathon
But you didn’t even break a sweat
You got me singing

Ba ba ba ba ee oh ba boo dah ba doo do dah ba do do do

Her name was Becky
She had some bright blue eyes
And every darn face she made she looked plum surprised

Her name was Becky
With those bright blue eyes
And if you catch this girl man you got yourself quite a prize
So you know we had to sing to her

Ba ba ba ba ee oh ba boo dah ba doo do dah ba do do do

All in good time my Clementine
You say, “Two plus two makes four,” but I say, “Nine.”
All in good time it’s Valentines
You say, “You better get your act together cause it’s July.”
Come on boys

Ba ba ba ba ee oh ba boo dah ba doo do dah ba do do do

I am your man
I ain’t no big trash can
So don’t dump on me
Don’t dump on me
I am your man I ain’t no big trash can
So don’t dump on me
No don’t dump on me
Or when I leave you’ll hear my singing

Ba ba ba ba ee oh ba boo dah ba doo do dah ba do do do
