This one being inspired by a couple of guys that I've admired since the early 70's. Their lyrics and detail to production always caught my attention. A salute to Walter and Donald.

Time is getting short
Time to put it all away
not feeling such comfort
only cold and bitter days

You always keep me warm
You drive away the storm

Time is getting short
I’ve burned 25,000 days
I can feel your support
you take all blues away

I will always be there too
I will always hold onto you

Time is getting short
Time to put it all away
not feeling such comfort
only cold and bitter days

You always keep me warm
You drive away the storm

I will always be there too
I will always hold onto you

You always keep me warm
You drive away the storm

25,000 Days

Lyrics:
Look around I’ve seen this before
Clear as the mud on the door
and i know that I’m wrong
I can be so headstrong

I know, it can feel so strange
I know, it’s time to make a change

working on what’s inside
not hiding behind my pride
And I know I’m wrong
not going to scrape along

You know,  how I feel today
You Know,    never will betray

I’m so ready for what’s a head
I believe everything you said
And I know I was wrong
Holding you I feel so strong

I know  I’m in a better place
I know  My heart is full of grace

You know,  how I feel today
You Know,    never will betray

Mud On The Door

I wrote this one and posted awhile back, I changed a few things and cleaned up some messy drum parts. Hope you enjoy the new version. Cheers!
Thanks for your help with the project David.

Thanks to Mr Duke for the Wha wha clav. stems. 

Lyrics:
She kept the light on
Waited for me 
Rough road to drive on
I could hardly see

But I’ll be there
With out a care
With out care in the world

It’s our time
So let it shine
be just fine tomorrow

brought something with me
To give to her
Went on a shopping spree
It should make her purr

Lyrics:
I see the writing on the wall
Seems like you never try to call

my words were deliberately misconstrued
sitting here thinking as I eat my finger-food

Isolation is rushing in
Missing you where have you been 

Who knows where you  could have been
last time I saw you only wore a grin

Doubting everything set in front of you
I’m low down and miserable it’s true
 
Isolation is rushing in
just like taking one on the chin

Where Have You Been

Greg Hurley: Lyrics, Composition, Vocals, Slide guitar, Bass guitar, B3, Keys, Drum programming, mix and mastering.

Lyrics
As you walk to the window there’s people passing by
wonder if they’re feeling what your feeling deep inside
There’s something missing I feel like you should know
I had a good friend tell me,  many years ago

You got to move to know what it’s all about
It’s just a matter of time before it all works out.

just a matter of time before it comes your way
not always easy when, just another crowded day
Things start to happen It all falls into place
Now you're on your path to living your life filled with grace.

It’s just a matter of time before it all works out.
It’s just a matter of time feels like a dopamine rush

Dopamine Rush

LYRICS: It's Not A Dream

I’ve been places   where the sky   touches the sea
I’ve been places   That calls me back   You will see

You and  I    will find our way 
You and  I    must leave today

I will take you   far from here   A  magical place   a new frontier
I will take you   by the hand     we will have   safe place to land
No compromise  no looking back    will not be   sidetracked
my sweet lady   bottle of wine   all came true   It’s so fine

You and  I    living the extreme
You and  I    no it's not a dream

It's Not A Dream

Relax and chill

Lyrics:
What about the one who said 
You’re everthing he wanted
What about the one who said
He would do anything for you

Another day another dollar
Saving up to make a move
If we get a chance to see each other
I feel there’s nothing left to prove

No one needs to tell me
About all  we’ve been through
I dropped the ball a few times
Have regrets but not because of you

As the day fades away
I know who I’ll be waiting for
As the day fades away
my feeling will grow even more

What about the one who said 
You’re everthing he wanted
What about the one who said
He would do anything for you

No one needs to tell me
About all that we’ve been through
I dropped the ball a few times
Have regrets but not beacuse of you

Not Because Of You / Music video in description

Lyrics
Stay with me  tonight
Won’t you hold me tight

Need to feel you Love
Fit me like a glove 

But don’t leave me alone
don’t leave me alone
don’t leave me alone…tonight

Hold me in your arms
Don’t give me no Harm 

Take away my Breath 
With your tenderess

But don’t leave me alone
don’t leave me alone
don’t leave me alone…tonight 
  
But don’t leave me alone
don’t leave me alone
don’t leave me alone…tonight  

But don’t leave me alone
don’t leave me alone
don’t leave me alone…tonight 

Love before all time 
Let’s say you’ll be mine   

Tell me that you’ll stay 
Till my diying day 

But don’t leave me alone
don’t leave me alone
don’t leave me alone…tonight 

But don’t leave me alone
don’t leave me alone
don’t leave me alone…tonight

Don't Leave Me Alone / Featuring Mike Kavanaugh

When I Know

This new one I hope makes you want to stand up and move a bit, at the very least tap your feet. Many thanks to the gracious Derek Cornett for providing a few guitar tracks that give it some soul. I also would like to thank Chris Yochens for great B3 part that inspired the whole song.

With the Flow / featuring Derek Cornett / Plus Video

Independent artist, writer, producer

I started playing gigs in 1968, It was only junior high school dances but at the time, it was electrifying. In 1964, I remember watching "The Ed Sullivan Show" and seeing the Beatles perform live and they pretty much jump started my interest in music, Long hair, guitars and Beatle boots, very cool, still cool. I have always enjoyed good harmony parts and George's slide work has always inspired me. Over the years like so many others, I’ve played small concerts, night clubs, special events, coffee houses and such. Now it's all about writing, recording, having some fun and being a part of the Sound Cloud community. Yeah man! 
Debut Album called “ Seafoam” released 2018 at Bandcamp, iTunes, Amazon and CD Baby.


Four of my fav producers would be Gary Katz, Jeff Lynne, Sir George Martin and Mark Hudson. As far as guitar players, great hooks Keith Richards, best tone Eric Clapton, best feel SRV! Best slide guitar George Harrison, Sonny Landreth and Ry Cooder. Most creative exploration Eric Johnson. The most original and inspiring Mr. Jeff Beck, he is amazing. Walter Becker had the cool factor and the Mu chords as well as wrote such interesting lyrics.
