THINK ON ME
Music & Lyrics by Gary Haig Schultz
Arranged by Gary Garu

If you need a friend, you got one
If you need a lover, you can call me too
‘Cause I was born upon the friendly side of town
And if you need someone around
You just THINK ON ME

If you need someone to talk to
If you need a shoulder you can cry upon
Well here’s my shoulder, now take the rest of me
And if you need someone around
Then just THINK ON ME

	And I don’t want your adulation
	I don’t want you to go on believing I’m a god, no, no
	And I don’t admire, I don’t admire your admiration
	I just want you to believe in me 
	As someone who you can depend upon

[Instrumental Break & Modulate]

		Rock me baby in the midnight sun
		Rock me baby ‘til the morning comes
		Sock me baby like you said you would
		Sock me baby like I always knew you could, ha, hey

FREEDOM BIRD
Music & Lyrics by Gary Haig Schultz
Arranged by Gary Garu


FREEDOM BIRD, fly me away from this place forever
HAPPY BIRD, carry me home and I’ll stay forever
Cause I don’t know how I got here, but I don’t want to stay, no, no
FREEDOM BIRD, take me away

FREEDOM BIRD, each day I stand here and watch you go by me
SILVER BIRD, soon I’ll be there and home you will fly me
Cause this place just ain’t for me, and I don’t want to stay, no, no
FREEDOM BIRD, take me away

	Remembering times at home when I held you close
	Remembering things I thought I’d forgotten
	But now those things and you seem so far away
	And I know I’ve been here before, and I’ve got to get away

FREEDOM BIRD, fly me away from this place forever
LUCKY BIRD, carry me home and I’ll stay forever
Cause I don’t know how I got here, but I don’t want to stay, no, no
FREEDOM BIRD, take me away
FREEDOM BIRD, take me away
FREEDOM BIRD

IS THAT HOW YOU TREAT YOUR MOTHER?
Music & Lyrics by Gary Haig Schultz
Arranged by Gary Garu


What has she done
To deserve the way you’re treating her now,
What has she done
To deserve the way you’re beating her now,
She gave you all 
	She had to give
And you took all 
	She had to give
Yet you gave nothing in return

IS THAT HOW YOU TREAT YOUR MOTHER?
IS THAT HOW YOU TREAT YOUR MOTHER?
IS THAT HOW YOU TREAT YOUR MOTHER?
	It wouldn’t be half as bad if it weren’t your Mother

Where would you be
Without the love she’s given you, uh huh,
Where would you be
You know you wouldn’t be living, yet you
You waste her away 
	You can’t see
The light of her day
	You know that she
You know she’s the Mother of all Man

[Instrumental Break]

IS THAT HOW YOU TREAT YOUR MOTHER?
IS THAT HOW YOU TREAT YOUR MOTHER?
IS THAT HOW YOU TREAT YOUR MOTHER?
	It wouldn’t be half as bad if it weren’t your Mother

AIN’T IT GOOD (THAT LOVE IS HERE AGAIN)
Music & Lyrics by Gary Haig Schultz
Arranged by Gary Garu

[Instrumental Intro]

All of my life I’ve wanted you
All of my days I’ve needed you
As the sun creeps through the curtain
I wipe the dreams away from your eyes

	In the early morning light I call your name
	In the middle of the night you do the same
	In the early morning light (in the early morning light)
	AIN’T IT GOOD THAT LOVE IS HERE AGAIN

All of my dreams I’ve spent with you
All of my wants you’ve wanted too
Our love is more than just tomorrows
Our love’s a future of todays

	In the early morning light I call your name
	In the middle of the night you do the same
	In the early morning light (in the early morning light)
	AIN’T IT GOOD THAT LOVE IS HERE
	AIN’T IT GOOD THAT LOVE IS HERE 
	AIN’T IT GOOD THAT LOVE IS HERE AGAIN

WE’RE NOT HERE TO JUDGE OTHERS
Music & Lyrics by Gary Haig Schultz  a/k/a gary garu

Some Peo-ple just Get HIM, Some Peo-ple won’t Let HIM
Rise Up with their Hearts open Wide (open wide)
We May try to Nudge them, But Must never Judge them
That’s Just not For Us to de-Cide,        though we
||: Know JESUS’ Love and HIS Bless-ings & Joy, we’re not
     Called from a- Bove to pass Judge-ment & Poi-Son our
     Hearts with I-Deas that take Hold of our Heads, we must
     See them as Signs to go In-ward in-Stead,     ’cause
          WE’RE NOT HERE TO JUDGE OTH-ERS
          Dear Sis-ters and Bro-thers
          That’s HIS job to Do, Not our Task,
          We can’t Force revel-A-tions
          Thru Pride’s inclin-A-tions ,
          Folks are Guid-ed by HIM When they’re Rea-dy to Ask, 
          HE’LL be There when They’re Rea-dy to Ask     (2nd pass, go directly to Coda)
(Bridge):    Every
               Fate is a Fix-ture of Faith, Love, and Choice,         Every
               Phrase is a Mix-ture of Si-lence and Voice, we should
               Nev-er judge Oth-ers, in HIS Truth we re-Joice
               In HIS Word,                               (ritardando) but have we really Heard?
In-ten-tions of Should things con-Fuse natural Good things
We Each find our Path in our Time
As Long as we’re Try-ing We’re Not really Dy-ing
With JE-SUS our Hearts are sub-Lime though we       :||
(In JE-SUS our Souls are a-Ligned), 
(Praise The LORD)

(Coda)                              
WE’RE NOT HERE TO JUDGE OTH-ERS
That’s Just not our Task
HE’LL be There when They’re Read-y to Ask         (repeat 4?x?   ---   Choir Master’s Choice)

MOUNTAIN ‘DU
Music & Lyrics by Gary Haig Schultz
Arranged by Gary Garu’s Musical Universe

I met my gal one year ago and fell in love so deep,
I love her every waking hour, I love her in my sleep,
I’ll both honor and obey her, my heart will never roam,
I promised her I’d build a happy home…  she said,

“Don’t build it in a pasture,
Don’t build it on the seashore,
Don’t build it on a hill or valley from here to Timbuktu,”
She don’t care about the rain or snow
She don’t want no plains or high plateau
She says only a mountain will do,
MOUNTAIN DEW, loves MOUNTAIN DEW
She wants to breathe the air that’s clear 
And near the sky so blue,
Until it’s done I’ll never stop
My queen will have her mountain top 
And I’ll be king of our MOUNTAIN ‘DU

I blazed a trail up Mount Xanadu and climbed it to the sky,
Then cleared two acres far and wide from forty I did buy,
I raised a castle in the heavens and topped it with a dome,
I kept my promise and built our happy home,

I didn’t build it in a pasture,
Didn’t build it on the seashore,
Didn’t build it on a hill or valley from here to Timbuktu,
I didn’t care about the rain or snow
Didn’t want no plains or high plateau
I knew only a mountain would do,
MOUNTAIN ‘DU, our MOUNTAIN ‘DU
We’ll both be there to breathe the air 
That’s near the sky so blue,
Now that it’s done, when Christmas comes
We’ll be the first on Santa’s run
Perched high atop our own MOUNTAIN ‘DU
We call our humble home “MOUNTAIN ‘DU”

DRAGONFLY - Instrumental

Throughout my childhood, growing up in a fifth floor Brooklyn apartment, and even later when we moved out to a house on Long Island, my father would signal my sister and I with his beautifully strong 3 note whistled melody (you'll hear it repeatedly in this composition) when we were outside playing to let us know that it was time for us to come home (usually because supper was almost ready). It was a distinct whistle and always the same melodic theme, so amidst all the other parents shouting out their kids' names, our father's melodic whistle, emanating effortlessly from his lips, cut through all the shouting and street noise and let us know it was time to stop whatever we were doing and head home. It is a sound I will never forget, and the memory of it comforts me to this day. 
PS The word "hook" has various meanings. In the title to this composition, it was used with the double entendre of both a musical "hook" or "main theme" AND the "hook" that was used to physically grab and bring a performer back "home" and off the stage during or after a performance.

THE BEE’S KNEES (May Song)
Music & Lyrics by Gary Haig Schultz
Arranged by Gary Garu

I realized when I woke up today
That we were finally in the month of May
Opened my window and a honey bee
Landed on my coffee cup and said to me, she said to me

	Spring is here, go find your love, no more excuses
	This message comes from up above, because you’ve been 
Hiding inside all winter long, it’s time for re-birth
	Now go out and sing your song (sing your song)

		Put away those old cold winter clothes, and
		Step out into that sun, it’s a
		New day, a new way, a new sea-son, and the
		Perfect time to find someone, find someone

2 VERSES --- S O L O  
I feel the buzz in the air

	Summer’s coming, days are getting long, soon there’ll be
	Barbeques and favorite new summer songs, hey just because
You got hurt last time around, go on lick your wounds
	Then pick yourself up off the ground, and
		Breathe, breathe in the warm May breeze
		Now I’ll practice my A B C’s 

		The birds and the bees
		They make love in the trees
		All the he’s and the she’s, and the
		You’s and the me’s 
May-be May’s Bee may just have taught me that life’s
THE BEE’S KNEES, yeah
THE BEE’S KNEES

THE BEE'S KNEES (May Song)

Growing up in Brooklyn, NY, I lived in a small 5th floor apartment w/my sister & parents.
In the apt directly above lived a kind elderly piano teacher. Each night at 8 PM, she would play her piano for the next hour or more . I would press my ear to the wall & intently listen, as the Joy in her playing was palpable;I was mesmerized by the palette of tonal colors of the piano along w/ the potent emotional pull  of the music.

Seeing the spark, my folks got me a toy piano (12 tiny keys) which I LOVED.  At 4, I didn’t  understand or appreciate that I was blessed w/ a musical Gift, bc it seemed such a natural thing.
Surprised that I could pick out tunes by ear, they bought me a real 88 key, circa 1911 upright piano for $25 which I cherished as my most valuable possession, & Mrs. Brockstein, the sweet lady from 1 floor up, became my piano teacher for the rest of my childhood.

In the 1960's I played keyboards in a progressive rock group based in the Village, NYC, on L.I., then we toured for a label, & became "Almost Famous" until a stint in the military (non-combat during Vietnam), followed by marriage & kids, forced me to give up my starving-artist bohemian lifestyle for a rewarding career as a piano tuner-tech to earn a steady living & raise a family. <——— This is the Ego narrative excuse I usually give for not following my heartfelt Spiritual dream of immersing myself in the creation and performance of music for my entire life.. 

Surviving a recent series of challenging Life Lessons (including hitting rock bottom), & now that I'm on my own again for the first time in decades, I’ve rearranged my priorities & reaffirmed my Spirit, pouring most of my efforts into once again creating music, only this time I am humbly aware that my "talent" does NOT ‘belong’ to me; it's really a Gift that's on loan from the Universe & one for which I will forever be grateful, for it has revealed a path of Joyful creativity that I will gratefully follow for the rest of my days.

PS Gary is my real name and 'Gary' is the most spiritually connected part of my essence. When Gary is birthing music, I am on a frequency that is directly connected to the Universe. Gary is Light; the music of the Universe comes through him, not to him – a true epiphany. (Please try your best to find & “tune in” to that connected frequency to experience the same intense Joy that I felt at the precise moment that the song was created. You'll know you are there when listening to the music brings you a tear and/or a rush of Joy).
PPS 'garu' is my ego, the ugliest part of my essence. A truly terrible character, garu is selfish, narcissistic, clever, & capable of hijacking my essence’s intellect & imagination to create ego-driven (often quirky) music. The songs that garu creates are heavily influenced by Ego, & you can hear It’s presence if you pay attention. garu is Dark; Ego works relentlessly to pull my essence away from the Light & towards the Darkness.
On many occasions, Gary & garu co-author a composition; the results are always distinctive.
I realize this duality concept can be confusing. It has literally taken me nearly a lifetime to unmask & now I want to share this understanding w/ the world (even at the real risk of being ridiculed).
I pray that, instead, you quiet your mind & take the time to find the frequency of Connectedness which channeled the music’s creation, Tune into it, & experience Its awesome Joy.
I re-visit that state of Joy each time I listen, & I wish to share that extraordinary experience w/ you in the spirit of Love and Connectedness.
My singing voice is mediocre; I don’t portray myself as a vocalist. I only sing to try & express what I hear in my head in the hope that a “tuned in” vocalist will hear something they connect with, & then record the song themselves, doing it the justice the Universe deserves.
Bless you for listening & for making the effort to “tune in” & understand.
Namaste
