Lyrics:

Sitting in the back of the classroom
Passing notes to each other
Hoping we don’t get caught again
Oh what I wouldn’t give 
To relive those days
To be a kid in love again

Hiding underneath the bleachers
We would always skip class just to see each other
And even when we did go, I couldn’t focus
I’d just be thinking about the next time that I’d see her
After school she’d always meet me at my car and
We’d go someplace together
Kill some time before we had to go home

Oh what I wouldn’t give 
To relive those days 
To be a kid in love again
Why can’t I get that feeling 
That I had for her
That I really can’t explain

Prom time came around and
Even though I knew that she’d say yes
I was still so very nervous to even ask her
To go with me but I gathered the courage
And when she told me yes I was so ecstatic
The girl I loved wanted to spend prom with me
Prom night came and we danced, and we danced, and she told me she loved me, we danced and we danced

Oh what I wouldn’t give 
To relive those days 
To be a kid in love again
Why can’t I get that feeling 
That I had for her
That I really can’t explain
x2

Oh what I wouldn’t give 
To relive those days 
To be a kid in love again
Why can’t I get that feeling 
That I had for her
That I really can’t explain

Time came to go to college
We tried to get in to the same school
She got into Oklahoma with a full ride
How the hell could you say no to that?
I wasn’t offered much
Didn’t get a scholarship that i could afford
I ended up some where else
Where we grew apart until we broke up

Oh what I wouldn’t give 
To relive those days 
To be a kid in love again
Why can’t I get that feeling 
That I had for her
That I really can’t explain
x3

Can’t Explain

The Ray Fuller Band was formed in 1974, evolving into Ray Fuller and the Bluesrockers in 1978, releasing a self-titled album on vinyl, and Fuller has not looked back since. Mastering his craft throughout the ’80s and ’90s, Fuller was quick to become the “go to” act throughout Ohio to open for iconic blues musicians such as Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Buddy Guy and more.

MUDDY WATERS after witnessing an opening act performance by Fuller exclaimed for all to hear, “That was some hot slide boy, I could smell the smoke backstage!”

JOHN LEE HOOKER was so impressed that he took Ray Fuller as his special guest at his next show! Fuller released Something Shakin’ in 1984 and Damn Guitars in 1989, which was quick to become a top seller for Rounder Records, followed by Ray Fuller and the Bluesrockers Live in 1992. In 1995, touring paused with the demise of Fuller’s first marriage which ended in true blues fashion.

Fuller went on to release Pearlene in 1997, Twist of Fate in 1999, and in 2003 Live Rockin’ the Blues. In 2010, Fuller played his first overseas show at the Vodacom Ampitheatre in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, and began focusing on his passion for slide guitar, playing in his own style which has been compared to and inspired by Elmore James, Hound Dog Taylor and even Earl Hooker (cousin of John Lee Hooker). Fuller found himself in demand with renewed focus on his unique style of “Rockin’ Slide Guitar Blues,” playing major blues festivals in the USA, Canada and Europe. In 2011, Fuller released Piece of Work on the Azuretone Record Label. In 2014 Fuller had the rare honor of recording Ray Fuller and the Bluesrockers LIVE at Buddy Guy’s Legends. In 2014 and 2016 Fuller crisscrossed Europe, with audiences demanding as many as five encores! In 2016, Fuller released Long Black Train in Europe a month early to coincide with his Europe Tour; its official release was in October 2016. Ray Fuller and the Bluesrockers’ new release, PAY THE PRICE on Azuretone Records, has a release date of May 28, 2019. Pay The Price shows promise to be the crown jewel of Fuller’s 40-year career. Pre-release reviews have called it “outstanding,” praising Fuller’s seasoned, clear vocals and tight rhythm section while, as American Blues Scene put it “leaving listeners both breathless and thirsty for more!

Ready To Go Home

The Centre Cannot Hold

Paris nineteen fifty-six, number nine rue Git le Coeur
Word is out and everybody′s beating on the door
Madame Rachou will let you in, just smile and ring the bell
Welcome to Nirvana at the Beat hotel
The sweet smell of Pernod, a Gauloise cigarette
It's a cosmic congregation but you ain′t seen nothing yet
It's an open invitation, an existential clientele
All looking for Nirvana at the Beat hotel
They looked for it in New York City and San Francisco Bay
They looked for in bebop jazz and it blew them all away
They tried out every avenue and then said "What the hell,
We'll look for it in Paris at the Beat hotel"
Burroughs came up from Tangiers, Ginsberg from New York
Kerouac came up from Italy and slept out in the park
Gregory Corso came and went and where he′s at no one can tell
He′s still looking for Nirvana at the Beat hotel
Take me to your leader, take me to the man
Someone has got the answer, someone's got the perfect plan
If you′re looking in the alleys, if you're looking in the bars
You′ll find us in the gutter, looking at the stars
This ragged band of poets, Christians, Buddhists, Jews
A new Beat generation searching for the Muse
Some found it in the arms of a mystic mademoiselle
Looking for Nirvana at the Beat hotel
The rooms count up to forty-one, but you can sleep out in the hall
For a few centimes you can get a drink and write your poems on the wall
And the marijuana mixes with the Tukish toilet smell
It's all part of Nirvana at the Beat hotel
Alex Campbell strums an old guitar someone picked up in Spain
Ginsberg′s howling poetry and Kerouac's drunk again
The rent is overdue there must be something they can sell
Maybe they can sell Nirvana at the Beat Hotel
Someone's taking photographs, Janine takes off her clothes
Marlene′s meditating and concentrating on her toes
Jasmine hides in room sixteen and curls up in her shell
She′s communing with Nirvana at the Beat Hotel
Take me to your leader, take me to the man
Someone has got the answer, someone's got the perfect plan
If you′re looking in the alleys, if you're looking in the bars
You′ll find us in the gutter, looking at the stars
They did it for the journey and not for getting there
Fame is in a whisper when you pay the taxi fare
It's just this side of Heaven and a long, long way from Hell
It′s somewhere in Nirvana at the Beat Hotel
Nothing lasts forever, and forever's in a rhyme
It's a Buddha-like connection and everybody has their time
If you want to drink the water you′ve got to dig into the well
Maybe then you′ll find Nirvana at the Beat Hotel
It was over by nineteen sixty-three and everyone had gone
But they'd opened up the road and the revolution was getting won
When the poems were painted over and they rang the final bell
It was goodbye to Nirvana at the Beat Hotel
The myth is stronger than the truth, and truth can sometimes lie
To see it all for what it was you need an uncorrupted eye
Was the journey worth it, only time will tell
Still looking for Nirvana, at the Beat Hotel
Take me to your leader, take me to the man
Someone has got the answer, someone′s got the perfect plan
If you're looking in the alleys, if you′re looking in the bars
You'll find us in the gutter, looking at the stars
Looking at the stars
We′re looking at the stars

Hi,
My name is Daniel James Rees. I'm originally from Sydney Australia but grew up in Auckland, New Zealand and have lived in Perth, Cairns and now reside in Brisbane enjoy playing guitar a great deal....especially Blues/Rock. Not very confident with my singing yet, still experimenting. 

Thanks also for taking the time to listen to me. I'd love it if anyone out there feels like adding some vocals, a bass line, maybe some keyboards or whatever else takes your fancy!! No rules really. The only rule I go by is "Does it sound good? -Yes, then keep it...No, then trash it!"...

I have also dabbled and recorded with loops and samples to create some Minimal Techno under the name of "Love Atom" if you're interested!!
I've got a great deal of lyrics without music and a lot of music without lyrics....ideas all over the place. 

Recently I've been doing some home recording and just seeing what happens really.

I love jamming as well...if you happen to live in the Brisbane area (I live in Morningside) and would like to meet up for a jam please message me anytime and I'll try to meet up with you somehow. Unfortunately I don't have a car at the moment but I'll do my best to meet up.

Dan.
