Last Xmas

It was 1995, I had already acquired my trusty Alesis SR-16 "Dr No" but not hooked it up in stereo yet on my 4-track cassette recorder.

This track is one of the more fun I made in those days, thought I'd share it here. For the occasion, I properly mixed and mastered it in such a way to keep it's original character intact as much as possible. I did put *some* fancy effect to stereoize the vocals a little, and there is a subtle stereo reverb on the drums.. Things like that, but that's just to make it palatable for the modern crowd. This is after all an original recording, no edits, no overdubs.

Thinking about putting an entire 'legacies' album together. Would anyone be interested in that?

The very mature lyrics:

Salvation song
Connect me if I'm wrong
Me I am cracked, broken and torn
Haven't been clean ever since I was born

But I don't bear much pain
I'm not gonna jump no train
Every single hour every single day
Guess life is just a game

Some say I am insane
Some say I am just the same
As all them youth rebel rabble rebel rabble
Well I know better but you won't hear me tell
Everyone lives his own little hell
Let them turn around in their own smell
I let them feel bad if they let me feel well
It be alright with me

I know I only live to be
I know this is all you can see
I live to be just like the trees
And the flowers and the bees

Some say I am insane
Some say I am just the same
As all them you rebel rabble rebel rabble
Let live through their own hell
Let them live with their own smell

Salvation

Salvation song
Connect me if I'm wrong
Me I am cracked broken and torn
Haven't been clean ever since I was born

Some say salvation
Everyone, everyone...
Rebel rabble rebel rabble
Loser! Loser!

Salvation Song

I wrote this song as a tribute to love that endures beyond this world as we know it. My best friend lost his battle with cancer several years ago, but as I often think of him I have envisioned his parting moments with his dear wife by his side. This is just my thoughts on it, I won’t pretend to represent the actual intimacies that would possibly have transpired, but I do have a good idea of how much they cared for each other, and still do.

Lyrics:   Summer Rain by Craig Durgy

Time slowed down to greet me, to carry out my light
You caressed me sweetly, always there right by my side

And as my eyes conceded, that leaving you I must
Despite your tears that pleaded, I just rose out into dust

I became an angel, you held to my sleeve 
Now the summer rain will
Let you know I’ll never leave

Yes, I became an angel, the moment that we kissed
Through all the years of loving you
That brought me here like this

Now the dust has settled, life and love go on
Raindrops on a petal, and you know that I’m not gone

In this life we’re flowers, but it’s only life’s cocoon
As fresh as summer showers, forever love can bloom

And, I became an angel, you held to my sleeve 
Now the summer rain will
Let you know I’ll never leave

Summer Rain

Kiss & Cry

Do You Love Me
I wrote this song back in early December.  I have sat on it since then trying to decide if I liked it enough to publish it.  I am still not sure if it deserves the light of day.  I like the chorus.  But the verse doesn't have the quality feel I desire.  Let me know.  Should I have tossed this song?

Lyrics:  Do You Love Me

Intro:
Do You Love Me

Verse 1:
You loved me once
I was not a dunce
And I still love you
And I am not blue

Sometimes I have my doubts
Days with ins and out
But maybe it’s all me
Trying not to flee

Chorus:
I am a small man
And I have my clan

Verse 2:
I am not a leader
But I am a good breeder
Just a regular guy
Who will look you in the eye

Living a normal life
With you I hope my wife
Full of insecurity
Nothing is a surety

Verse 3:
I have some confidence 
I can hold a conference
All mixed together
Sometimes light like a feather

Not sure where I stand
But when called, I can command
I can lead those in need
and help those who need freed

Outro:
Do You Love Me

Do You Love Me

Under Pressure voiced solidarity; Ice Ice Baby flipped it to swagger; the lawsuit set precedent and the Streisand effect fused them—so now we work to invert the inversion, as AI copyright and art debates turn on subversive use, not sound (maybe)
