LYRICS:
---------------------

Out on the street, people you'll never meet
Struggling just to survive
You wouldn't want to be them, pretend you don't see them,
Just roll up your windows and drive

But the ghosts are not dead, and they're not in your head
They're just waiting right there to be seen
There's no way of knowing and the rowers keep rowing
Going somewhere that you've never been

Whoa, weary walkers, may I lighten your load?
The night is so long and you're hearing my song
As you sleep at the side of the road
Whoa, weary walkers! How may I lighten your load?

The days turn to ash with no cars whizzing past
Where only the strangers belong
The desert is wide, and then once you're inside
You are hypnotized by its song

With a guitar to strum, the ghost sticks out its thumb
But it no longer hopes for a ride
Just shuffles along to the beat of the song
To lie down by the river side, dreaming....

Whoa, weary walkers, may I lighten your load?
The night is so long and you're hearing my song
As you sleep at the side of the road
Whoa, weary walkers! How may I lighten your load?

With silence to ponder it's hard not to wander 
Your mind becomes vacant and free
No matter the cost, all who wander are lost
Swallowed up by the sagebrush sea

Your forever host is the roadside ghost
And it's broadcasting now on the breeze
You'll see there's no choice, there is only the voice:
"Follow me, follow me, follow me....."

Singing
Whoa, weary walkers, may I lighten your load?
The night is so long and you're hearing my song
As you sleep at the side of the road
Whoa, weary walkers! How may I lighten your load?

The Roadside Ghost

A Place To Be

A little splash of liquid D&B... A haunting vocal and a hint of menace

Second Flow

An original composition...Music has always been my go to coping skill. There is something about the melodies that provide such meaning for my soul. Singing has opened up many doors for me and allowed me to feel comfortable interacting with others after years of shyness and introversion. My father always told me that I the music within me came from his mother whom I never met but was always singing around the house as he remembered.

Lyrics
In the quiet of the night
I find solace in the song
The rhythm and the rhyme
Help me carry on


Through heartache and through pain
The music heals the soul
Every note and every chord
Helps us feel whole



It's always about the song
The way it moves us along
Echoes and melody
In our hearts, forever strong



Take me to that place
Where the music flows like a stream
Let me lose myself
In the beauty of the dream



So let the music play
And let the lyrics soar
For in the end, it's always about the song
That keeps us coming back for more

It's Always About the Song (Remaster)

'U Got Soul' is inspired by 70s Funk...think Rufus & Chaka Khan.

This groovy number sends out the message that it doesn't matter what happens in your life, good or bad. As long as 'you got soul' then  that's all that matters!

U Got Soul

ANARS ! Rémission

I can hear you looking at me.
You’ve got to plant a pretty penny to grow a money tree.
You can taste victory but still not see
that a winner is a loser if it’s not for free - is this thing broken?

Judge a book by its cover, read it in reverse,
starting at the end just means the last comes first.
Turning water into wine won’t quench your thirst.
There’s not a lot of laughs in the back of a hearse - is this thing broken?

If I could walk a mile in someone else’s shoes,
get out of the red and stop singing the blues.
If I could stop time and make a wish come true
I could fly the sky and swim the air with you.

A sight for sore eyes is a scene to behold.
You’ll never find your fortune digging for gold.
You can’t buy love if your soul’s been sold.
You’re only as lonely as the person you hold.

Rich man, poor man, beggar man, thief.
It’s not what’s on your skin it’s what’s underneath.
A word to the wise keeps the sentence brief.
If it’s written in stone it’s full of grief - is this thing broken?

A week’s worth of worry’s not a day too long.
No good being a singer if you don’t have a song.
It’s pointless pointing out the point that’s wrong.
If you want to see truth don’t look at The Sun.

There’s a silence so loud you hear every sound.
You can’t get lost if you’ve never been found.
If I had a penny for every pound
there’d be enough cash to turn the whole world round.

Between the future and past you’re gonna get drawn
into a battle of presents that leaves you torn.
It’s a death wish wishing that you’d never been born.
If your life’s a bed of roses you’re gonna get thorned.

Rabbits caught in headlights shouldn’t drive cars.
You shouldn’t serve doubles in a singles bar.
Women firefighters shouldn’t burn their bras.
Don’t shoot for the moon if you can only see stars - is this thing broken?

False prophets won’t put you on the straight and narrow.
Money can’t buy you love but it can buy you sorrow.
It’s better to lend than it is to borrow.
There’s no guarantee you’ll even see tomorrow.

On my map all the roads lead South.
If you’ve got good teeth you better watch your mouth.
It’s hard to rhyme the next line so it’s thereabouts.
Better not get hung up if things aren’t exactly as you’d like them to be.
And you’d like them to be just fine - oh wouldn’t you.

Is This Thing Broken?

REVELATION SIX TWO

The Liquid Mix takes What Do You Need into deep drum & bass territory. Rolling breaks, warm sub-bass, and moody atmospheres flow beneath intimate vocal fragments. Smooth, soulful, and built for late-night listening — reflective but still grounded in the underground.
