LONE RYDA

Rage Pt 2

I wrote this song about an almost relationship I had in early 2020 and how even though it didn’t work out I eventually found the one.

Lyrics: (Intro)
Come on 
                          
Verse 1
We could’ve really had it all 
until you ghosted me 
For you I never thought I’d fall 
But it happened to me
Took me a whole year just to talk to you 
Then you disappeared on me in June

                         Pre-chorus 
 Like what the hell happened?
 Why did you leave me?

                               Chorus
Tell me how you feeling now
Now that I’m no longer around 
Bet your life’s a mess and 
Your whole world is crumbling to the ground 
Tell me how you feeling now
Now that I’m no longer around 
What goes around comes back around boy 
Watch your heart get destroyed 

                                Verse 2
I always tried to reach out to you 
You never did the same
Made plans to cancel them every time 
What did you have to hide
Thought you would be the next lover in my life
But you disappeared without saying goodbye 

                           Pre-chorus 
Like what the hell happened?
Why did you leave me?

                              Chorus
Tell me how you feeling now
Now that I’m no longer around 
Bet your life’s a mess and 
Your whole world is crumbling to the ground 
Tell me how you feeling now
Now that I’m no longer around 
What goes around comes back around boy 
Watch your heart get destroyed 

                                 Bridge
Hope you’re ready to eat your heart out     and regret that you left (x3)
Hope you’re ready to eat your heart out
AND REGRET THAT YOU FUCKING LEFT (x3)

                               Verse 3
We could’ve really had it all 
until you ghosted me 
But now I found somebody new 
Who really gives a fuck about me

                               Chorus 
So go on and guess how I’m feeling now (HOW)
Now that I got a new man now (HOW?!)
He’s the best thing that ever happened 
and kept my world from tumbling down 
So tell me how you feeling now 
Probably feel like less of a man now 
What goes around comes back around boy
I hope your heart gets destroyed

Father, please renew my mind, too long I’ve been so blind
Help me to be the kind… of loving son… as You
Renew my mind

As You renew my mind, as You renew my mind

Father, please refine my heart, too long I’ve been apart
Help me so I may start… a faithful walk… as You
Renew my mind

Father, please reform my life, too long I’ve fought and strived

Legacy
© March 2022 – Keith Adams & Raji Abuzalaf

After I’m gone, how will my children remember me?
What about their descendants – all of my progeny?
Will my grandchildren know anything about their grandfather?
Will they research my endeavors or even bother?

Will they look upon me as an honorable patriarch?
Did I travel down the proper path and leave my mark?
Have I shown true paternal love for every child?
Will my family deem my legacy worthwhile?

Will they celebrate my music or sing my songs?
Will they appreciate my stand against society’s wrongs?
Will they know me in photos and recognize my face?
Did I impress their souls with the message of God’s good grace?

Can all the old stories paint a picture that was true?
Will my mistakes serve as lessons on the pathway they pursue?
Was my life a good model and stood out from the crowd?
Is my legacy sufficient to make the family proud?

Should I have spent time with my children a little more often?
Is there enough time before I’m lying in my coffin?
Will they remember me with joy and refuse to be sad?
Will they know how much I loved them in the short time we had?

Will they celebrate my music or sing my songs?
Will they appreciate my stand against society’s wrongs?
Will they know me in photos and recognize my face?
Did I impress their souls with the message of God’s good grace?

Never Met His Winter
© January 2022 – Keith Adams & Raji Abuzalaf

He never looked for a reason why his guilt kept him from the light
His only friend was whiskey, he drank a whole bottle each night
Did God forsake him or abandon him outright?

He died in dirty clothing, well-worn, old, and tattered
A life of false promise was now completely shattered
His empty life to those around him never really mattered

He once bowed his head and prayed for God’s redeeming grace
And hoped to one day look upon His shining face

Will you help me celebrate his life, at least for today?
Can we celebrate his life although he never found his way?

Will you help me celebrate his life, at least for today?
Can we celebrate his life although he never found his way?

He once bowed his head and prayed for God’s redeeming grace
And hoped to one day look upon His shining face

Will you help me celebrate his life, at least for today?
Can we celebrate his life although he never found his way?

He never met his winter, he barely knew his fall
This man who just died, yet never heeded the call
He vanished in the nighttime, and no one cared at all

Never Met His Winter

When Hellos Embrace
© February 2022 – Keith Adams & Raji Abuzalaf

At that magic moment when your eyes both meet
Your heart’s a pounding from your head down to your feet
Completely exposed, you got no hiding place
What might happen when hellos embrace?

That enchanted instant you’re exchanging glances
When your thoughts are mingling in silent advances
A blush may blossom and illuminate your face
What might happen when hellos embrace?

When hellos embrace, what might happen?
Ah, yeah, it just might happen
When hellos embrace, it might happen

At that spellbound inkling where your heartbeats thunder
When you sense adventure and you feel that wonder
New visions of love, old feelings to replace
What might happen when hellos embrace?

When hellos embrace, what might happen?
Ah, yeah, it just might happen
When hellos embrace, it might happen

At the sudden contact that you simply can’t ignore
When you always knew you needed something more
A love that fills the void with more than empty space
That’s what happens when hellos embrace

That’s what happens when hellos embrace

When Hellos Embrace

Witches

come on put it in your butt

Featuring the beautiful voice of Soprano, Ashley Knaack (bio below), this is a gorgeous Christmas ballad written and composed by John Rutter. The lyrics are so beautiful, I just had to include it on this album. I hope it will become one of your favorites, as it has mine. 

Q Voices makes an appearance on this track singing the choral vocals. They are a group I have dubbed, "Quintessential Voices" ("Q Voices" for short). Many more songs are to come that will feature this group. In this case, it's a men's quartet, but will be any number and combination of voices in the future. My concept for them is mostly a mixed a cappella vocal group that sings sacred and secular music with a jazz flavor. Look for them on future tracks and compositions.

Original published score by John Rutter

Bio: Soprano, Ashley Knaack, is a recent BFA Musical Theatre graduate of Shenandoah Conservatory. A classically trained cross-genre vocalist, she has lent her voice to such stage productions as Commonwealth Shakespeare Company's Cymbeline, 5 Star Theatrical's Beauty and the Beast, The Dream Maker, a contemporary opera by composer John Haukoos, and Shenandoah Summer Musical Theatre's productions of Sweeney Todd, My Fair Lady, and The Pirates of Penzance to name only a few. She was also a member of the Cantus Singers, Shenandoah Conservatory's resident women's choir, and can be heard on the original albums of several new musicals. Website: http://www.ashleyknaack.com

Ashley also happens to be the fiancée of my son, Danny, which is how I knew of Ashley's beautiful voice to begin with. I asked her if she would like to collaborate with me on this album, and fortunately for all of us, she said "Yes!" I think you'll agree, she's done an amazing job! I'm so happy I asked her to sing with me, and that she said "Yes!" again when my son asked her to marry him. :)

This is (Mark Fehrenbach's) first studio recorded album. I hope you enjoy. If so, please "like, comment and share" with your friends and family. It will be available for purchase shortly on whatever service you listen to music!

Rejoice and Be Merry

I Wish You Christmas

I Wish You Christmas (feat. Ashley Knaack)

This creative team met back in high school in Houston, Texas in 1969. They became friends quickly and discovered a unique synergy early on – songwriting. Keith manifested his expressions mostly in the area of lyrics, while Raji fashioned his creativity through melodies and arrangements.

The number of songs that they generated as young teens in a short period of time was incredible. What was even more astonishing was that neither of them could read a musical note, and yet they were able to compose lyrics, tunes, chords, beats, and develop sophisticated arrangements.

School, work, marriage, children, and associations with other bands threw them onto separate life paths. Raji continued composing with other bands and on his own, while Keith officially took a long hiatus.

The team temporarily regrouped in the early 1980’s for a few profound Christian musical offerings. Eventually, Raji found the time and energy to record many of their earlier songs and publish them – both in several of his novels and on soundcloud.com. Then in late 2021 they regrouped once more to continue their creative journey together.
