the combination of those synths along with your howling gaves me quite the shivers, frank. holy

Such power and emotions in the lyrics and the arrangement is brilliant. So sorry you are going through this.

Condolences....and bravo on an excellent piece of spoken word. These oooooh oooohs too, perfect.

very emotionally charged, you sir are a wonderful wordsmith and, unfortunately our inspiration must come from the worst times in our lives, but come it does and like the old saying goes, better out than in. Bravo!

Lost mine too……life will always have an emptiness to it

It still can be done
It still can be won
I'm not the only one who believes son
Take this it was mine
for such a long time
be at your best never question your own mind
if I fall always carry this proudly I did it for you and now that they found me 
I really should go but I'm here to stay to see it all through all of the way
am I out of my head now? 
am I better off dead now? 
am I a liar trying to be who I'm not just like you
running in circles
filling in deep holes
against a tide that abides to no strongholds 
final retreat to where I can meet you 
I will survive its a lie I still need you
so truth be told
the truth is bold
my truth is sold
engrossed in gold
no one will know how far I'll go to win my last attack against the rats
am I out of my head now
am I better off dead now
am I liar trying to be who I'm not just like you
am I out of my head now
am I better off dead now
am I out of my head now
am I better off dead now
am I liar trying to believe that I'm not just like you

in late December 2015 my father-in-law was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and moved in with me, my wife and 3 children. For the next 15 months I witnessed a man fight like I've never seen a man fight before. With all odds against him, doctors telling him he had weeks to live, he pressed on and proved them wrong. I wrote this song during that time that he lived with us. I look back now and realize how much I admired his perseverance, his will to live, his belief that he would beat it "when I'm done with this cancer" he'd say. I didn't realize that this song was about that until after he passed in March of 2017. That's what I love most about writing music. We miss you Rick!

Just to See You Smile - Tim McGraw (vocal cover) by DB Keith

St. Carolina

Still processing my father's loss, and struggling to put fingers to keys of late. But I know that I need to push through this wail and return to the you-n-i-verse eventually.

He'd want it that way.

LYRICS

The Truth about axes
is they smash through the frays
of the eyes and the neighs,
chunk rough trunks in their ways,
but harvest vines and scythed hays
are immune somehow

And then my father died


The thing about truths
is they burst veins with their use
as they bump and they bruise
debase and abuse
while made-up monks gussy down for pastel plaster plays,
giddy-thrup and are amused somehow

As they watch my father die


To axe about things
that make wishes with rings
grains of sooth waxed to wings
whether leather or feather
they weather the soul with
the truths that they bring
sun-drunk lay in their daze 
flippant, mince with loose ways
and flap lips like goosed fools

While my father dies

There are times in our life when we  reflect through our thoughts.
Our Souls are the platforms that harbour these thoughts, emotions and desires.
I recently experienced these moments, which inspired this track.
I hope this music will take you through the same journey.
Composition, piano, 
midi (guitar,celo and choir)

our Souls in Solitude

this track is about when someone dies and passes over to the spirit world.
where they are welcomed by all the friends and family that passed over before them.    back where they belong amongst their loved ones.

"welcome back my dear friend, back where you belong"
"paradise is here for you, hear the angels song"

"Back where you belong"

I am playing guitar for the first time in a long time. My fingers hurt.
