Holding Back The Years "Live" (Piano & Vocalcover)

When you really love someone and thought they reciprocated but they didn't it hurts.  When they break up with you you go into a depression. You cry and the more people try to help you the louder you cry.

Via my breath and wind controller I am playing the Swam Tenor sax. Band-in-a-Box is supplying the rest of the tracks.

Lost At Love

The first new song of the 21 century :-)

Lyrics and Music:
Walter Davidson, Fredden

Winter days, early nights
Christmas tree, Christmas lights
A fairytale, a rednose deer
It's the time of the year

Chorus: And you, the one for me
I'd rather have you near

People shopping in the square
Happy children everywhere
Hear the sleigh bells... Santa's here
It's the time of the year

Chorus: And you, the one for me
I'd rather have you near

Now let us gather the family
Presents under the Christmas tree
Singing choirs are what we hear
It's the time of the year
Chorus: And you, the one for me
I'd rather have you near

Winter days, early nights
Christmas tree, Christmas lights
A fairytale, a rednose deer
It's the time of the year

Song for V

TAKE THE PAIN AWAY

an empty bottle by my pillow
leaves a bitter taste and a head crackin' throb
our final moments coming back to me
so jim beam didn't do his job

i find myself wonderin'
why the hell the sun came up today
you'd think that someone would know better
and make the damn thing go away
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;don't they know without you i got nothing but misery
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;nothing that makes me want to face the day
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;take it any way you choose all i know is i need something 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;to take the pain away

you were more than my everything
can't be clearer than that
now you're gone so there's nothing left of me
just a shadow where i once sat
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;don't they know without you i got nothing but misery
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;nothing that makes me want to face the day
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;take it any way you choose all i know is i need something 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;to take the pain away

Ballin' The Jack introduced a new dance craze in 1913.  The name comes from "Jack" which  is slang for a steam locomotive and "Ballin'" meaning a wide open throttle.  Previously performed by hundreds of artists we decided on a Boogie Woogie version.

Ballin' The Jack

folks in Georgia’s ‘bout to go wild      
since that new dance came in style
I’m the person you can blame, child     
I’m the party introduced it there so
give me credit to know a thing or two 
give me credit for starting something new
i will show this little dance to you     
when i do you’ll say that it’s a bear!

Chorus
first you put your knees close up tight
then you sway ‘em to the left,  you sway ‘em to the right
step around the floor kind of nice and light
then you twist around and twist around with all your might

shake your loving arms way out in space
and then you do the easy rock with style and grace
swing your foot way ‘round, then you bring it back
that’s what i call ballin’ the jack
				

Verse
it's being done at all the cabarets     
all society now has got the craze
it's the best dance done in modern days      
that is why I rave about it so
play some good rag that will make you prance
old folks, young folks all try to do the dance
join right in now while you got a chance
once again I’ll show you how it goes

Chorus

Ballin' The Jack

As the wind blows through the trees, leaves start falling, and a cold feeling comes over you.  It is like the wind is whispering to you.

Whispering Winds

DANGEROUS

everyone said she was trouble
you really need to leave it alone
call it a day walk away
some sins can't be atoned
she'll take you down so deep
you'll never make it back
word is the devil tried
and even that boy cracked
the girl is dangerous

   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;cross that line
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;you'll leave behind
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;your heart, your mind, your soul
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;it's a long hard fall
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;she'll take it all
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;and you'll lose all control
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;you got it bad
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;any chance you had
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;long ago was lost
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the girl is dangerous

i thought i could handle
anything she threw my way
little did i know
the tricks that girl could play
those emerald eyes
that hypnotixe
an intoxicating kiss
aiming every whisper at my heart
she never seemed to miss
the girl is dangerous

   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;cross that line
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;you'll leave behind
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;your heart, your mind, your soul
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;it's a long hard fall
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;she'll take it all
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;and you'll lose all control
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;you got it bad
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;any chance you had
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;long ago was lost
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the girl is dangerous

   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;i crossed that line
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;left behind
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;my heart, my mind, my soul
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a long hard fall
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;she took it all
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;and i lost all control
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;i got it bad
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;any chance i had
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;long ago was lost
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the line's been crossed
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the girl is dangerous

Everybody Knows Your Name
      This is an original written many years ago, and published by Mello-Dee-O-Dough-Music. When recording this version, I couldn't find the lyrics, so I wrote new ones. It was origianlly named Heaven Only Knows Your Name. 
     It is done here using BiaB and Cakewalk.  I played bass and did the vocal track.

Everybody Knows Your Name

Everybody knows your name. They call nobody else to blame.
Somehow they can sense your fear, holding what they know you hold dear.
Cryin' out would only hurt your soul, but sometimes you just lose control.
Plant the seed and pray for rain. Heaven also knows your name.

Everybody tells you somethin', but only you can tell if it's true.
You can never know for nothin', but everything you do you knew.
Search your soul then look inside for peace. Take control and then you'll be released.
This will keep the quiet time quite tame cuz N

Sometimes you just follow your heart. Sometimes you just lead with your head.
At no time should you ever start to follow all the money instead.
Life is meant to be a living thing. Feel the song and then begin to sing.
They'll seem to take what you've hardly gained, cuz N

Everyone is runnin' to some goal, but make sure yours stays deep within your soul.
Winners aren't the ones who cheat the game. Heaven also knows your name.

The One
