"Never Forever" by Geoff Cox & Melissa Nichols

Two hearts once intertwined begin to unravel
Tearing away at the seams 
I know the head tells the heart what it needs to
But fate decides what it means

Push back the pain my son that's what the others told me
I wish I could take their advice
But I'll never overcome the sweet lies you sold me
Still hanging on to lost paradise

Never forever my heart should have known
No two lives together I'm left all alone
Beyond sweet surrender the truth left inside
Never forever in your lies will you hide

I'm praying for your soul – praying it won't leave you
Swept up in dreams and masquerade
The perfect world of which you speak is going to deceive you
You'll never know the price you paid

Heartbeats grow faint like they're frozen in time
This fairy tale was not meant to be mine
Angels and demons converge on our world
All for the life and the love of one girl

Never forever my heart should have known
No two lives together I'm left all alone
Beyond sweet surrender the truth left inside
Never forget: your truth opened my eyes

Never Forever (co-written with Melissa Nichols)

A montage of sax solos from some of my studio sessions.

Sax Montage

Surf Hog

The alt, folk version - not quite Reggae but definitely not Bossa Nova. Ably accompanied by Bruce Thorndike of Old Dog New Trick and a field of crickets.

You Come To Me

You Come To Me (alt folk version)

This is a song I wrote during the 2014 Winter Olympics. Watching curling today, it seems like a good time to share it with a wider audience. Listen for all sorts of curling jargon used as double-entendre.

Lyrics:
Ooh baby, come over here. We're gonna sweep some ice.
The first stone is headin' our way and that button's looking oh so nice.

You gotta get low as your body allows
If you wanna play in my house.

Ooh ooh curling – slide on down
A new obsession in an old world town
You don't understand, but you can't turn away
Ooh ooh curling is all that's on,
Today

Ooh baby, stay over here. Feel my intensity.
The ice gleams and every new stone brings us closer to a victory.

I’m not looking for a pickup tonight
When there could be a snowman in sight.

Ooh ooh curling – slide on down
A new obsession in an old world town
You don't understand, but you can't turn away
Ooh ooh curling is all that's on,
Today

If I let you take me home,
Will you be more than just a heart of stone?
I’ll make you dizzier than Russian Tea
So leave your broom at the door and come curl up with me

Ooh ooh curling – slide on down
A new obsession in an old world town
You don't understand, but you can't turn away
Ooh ooh curling is all that's on...
Ooh ooh curling – slide on down
A new obsession in an old world town
You don't understand, but you can't turn away
Ooh ooh curling and the Hammer’s on
its way.

Curling

My entry to the Silverstein Works audio logo contest. There are a lot of layers in there.

The Silverstein Sound (contest entry)

Songwriter, composer, sound designer, performer, session musician, teacher, and complete music fanatic. I play sax, flute, Irish whistle, guitar, and fumble about on other instruments. I write Rock, Americana, and Jazz but I enjoy experimenting with whatever the muse whispers in my ear.
