Verse 1
Live another lovely day
lookout now to the sun come down
on you...

See myself from years before
leave that person sitting at the
the door...

But now I, turn around and I walk away
And I, make plans for another day
leave a world behind that door 
that never could have kept me there
but you...

Chorus

You and me now... we carried the wind above the trees
We were something and everything just trying to believe
that we could... live on forever, die for each other
but see...
It's still everything to me
It's still everything to me
you're there with me, can't you see
It's still everything to me...

Verse 2
Now I'm... never sure if I'm good enough
never know if I'll measure up
to you...

But we are who we are and that's okay
or at least that's the way I see it
anyway...

And now I, turn around and fade away
miss plans from the good old days
strain to see the world behind a door
that could have kept me there
but you...

Chorus x2

It's Everything

Introducing "Life Gets In the Way" - A Song of Remembrance and Reflection

Life is a journey filled with unexpected twists & turns. Along the way, we encounter people who touch our hearts, leaving a lasting impact. Sadly, sometimes we lose these special individuals, & our hearts ache with the regret of not spending more time with them.

In my new edit of the 5 minute long song "Life Gets In the Way," I hope to have captured the essence of this emotional journey im a mote compact form. Through poignant lyrics & heartfelt melodies, I have created a musical tribute to those lost friends we hold dear in our memories.

This song serves as a reminder to cherish & appreciate the people in our lives, to make every moment count, & to never let life's distractions take precedence over our relationships.

You only live once, live it well with the ones you value most :) 

Created for you, here is your new edited song "Life Gets In the Way."

Life Gets In The Way

lyrics:
Just another second before i blow you away
just another hype before this decadence
U r about to be eliminated beyond this fence
u know u don't have any decent defense

That's the condition shit
where all the people spit
the gratefulness that should exist
but got lost from people's fist


Just another war about to begin
that's the people's choice gathered on one regime
U r about to be eliminated beyond this world
u know u don't have any decent kind of word

Now the history repeats itself
just another book from the shelf
just another hit before this demolition begins.

(p) & (c), 2024.

Blues For Mr. Rhind - Cosmic Ratzzz / Jamie Rhind

"So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed." John 8:36 p.s. I had to change the name of the Song from Free to Freedom, S.C. thought I was trying to sell something, lol!
Verse 1
Driving me insane, this monkey on my back is crazy
Wanna be free, damaged from his grip on me
Have I sold my soul?
Hemmed up tangled in a choke hold ready to let go
Chorus1
Down for so long
Would I know Faith if it took me?
Would I know grace if it shook me, loose from these shackles?
No longer bounds broken man cant guard against defeat
Christ can make a free man. Free indeed!
Verse 2
Ever since that day
Walking down the narrow pathway
Simple and free
Yielding to His will entirely
Jesus saved my soul
Let go fully He changed me
Amazed at how I used to be
Chorus2
Down for so long would I know faith if it took me?
Would I know grace if it shook me loose from these shackles?
No longer bound loosed from these chains
Is this the love I've heard about?
Broken men can't guard against defeat
Christ can make a free man. Free indeed!
Bridge
Outta Time
Tomorrow has no guarantee 
Be chained forever or be… 
Chorus 3
Loosed from these shackles no longer bound
Loosed from these chains is this the love I've heard about
Down for so long
Broken man can guard against defeat
Christ can make a free man. Free Indeed

"Free"

Freedom

Fredo’s Boat Ride

August Sunday

My heart broke, but do you care?
As you fucked around just anywhere.
My heart broke, cause you were not there.
I've only one, and I can't repair.

My heart broke, but do you care?
As you fucked around just anywhere.
My heart broke, cause you were not there.
It's not the first time, so please beware.

I don't exactly know why I've been on such a cover streak lately, although, I suspect laziness is at least a significant suspect. Anyway, I like to pick things that are either significant to me in some way, a stretch or can be stretched into something else, or something out of my box. This one crept in to my world through some mention in the NYTimes. If I remember correctly it was positive. I looked for something different to cover the other day and typed in current hits and recognized this. I decided to do a fairly straight up cover and let my own style come in by just doing it fairly straight. Here's a few comments on the piece that came to mind as I was doing it:

Like most pop music these days it's one chord progression repeated over and over with the parts separated by different melodies and arraignments.

Ms. Carpenter's lyrics are kind of strange to me ie. "That's that me espresso". She does some interesting things rhythmically with her vocals so they don't sound awkward but reading them as I sung and  getting her phrasing down was a challenge. Also as a side note, it's interesting how the theme of taking advantage of the opposite sex is seen in pop music differently between males and females. One of her better lines "I know I Mountain Dew it for ya" is I think quite clever, cheeky and funny but probably would less likely be a line in a summer light pop hit from a male singer.

This is less about the music itself but the conceptual framing. I like the concept in the beginning and the end of turning the song into an old classic hit playing on the radio in the background, perhaps at the beach. It's nostalgic in the context of the song itself but also hearing actual music, playing in the background through a small cheap radio, while sitting on the beach is itself a bit of nostalgia. 

As a side note, I learned the track by listening to the YouTube video. I as I was listening I was reading many of the comments from Ms. Carpenter's much younger(than me) fans. The song, in my opinion is a fairly obvious combination of 70's Disco, 90's girl pop and a modern pop sheen. I was surprised by comments placing the song as homage to 60's or 80's pop. Probably just youthful ignorance but.
 if there's something more to it, I'm interested.
