that octave riff is badass and the lyrics absolutely do not apply to me, at least until I get my truss fitted and get out there rockin' like a misremembered legacy

And yes, you do have that Ian Hunter vibe!

Haha, I always dig your sense of humor man, this is good stuff

always love your lyrics and your great ideas of super well sounding odd chord progressions!

This is superb love the changes within the song 😎

ahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!! absolutely mad and i love it

This sounds good and I would really appreciate some opinions

Our first new song as Watchglass reunited. This started as a single idea that came to me through pondering another duo, Moon and Aries, who make music, separated by half a planet and yet not separate at all in their vision and shared passion. We hope you enjoy!  
PS Mark made a YouTube video for this one and we would love for you to stop by and let him know what you think. He's a quiet achiever but he's really proud of this and ought to be so.

It's not every day
It's not every lifetime
Something like this comes along
Hold it close
Feel it breathe
You have each other now.
She's come back to you.
There could be worse things
And better still to come.

A love in the heat of summer
But remember seasons change
In the cold of the winter
Feelings often fade away

She left me in the moonlight
She left me with the rain
Something meant to be forever
Will never be again

How long is the dark night
How deep is the sky
Does her voice still carry 
An eternal goodbye

How deep is the sky
How deep is the sky
Memories of sailing
But clipped wings never fly… fly

When I awoke it was from a dream
A heavenly body floating over me
But the nightmare is in the waking
To a ghost that still speaks
Even though she never returns
There’s a fire that still burns

She left me in the moonlight
She left me with the rain
Something meant to be forever
Will never be again

How long is the dark night
How deep is the sky
Does her voice still carry 
An eternal goodbye

How deep is the sky
How deep is the sky
My memories of sailing
Clipped wings never fly…

How deep is the sky
How deep is the sky
Does her voice still carry 
An eternal goodbye… goodbye

Suck It Up

From the EP "Smilers" June 2023
Hello Oxnard!!!
We're a rock & roll band
We'll rock & roll until we die
We've got rock & roll in our souls
And it's eating it's way out from the inside
Cover band superstars!

We look like we've been going about 20 years too long
5 fat geezers
All playing a different song
We're encumbered by music industry success
But, we are pure
We are holy
Cover band superstars!

We we're gonna put out our 1st album
It would be a masterpiece
Then we we're gonna fake our own deaths
Thereby securing our legacy
In the rock & roll mythology
Oh, but look at me now
Singing songs
"pour some sugar on me"
"anyone wanna hear bohemian rhapsody?"

It's enough to make you fall out of love with rock & roll
You know who we are
Meet me at the bar
Cover band superstars!

A man has to live his dreams
No matter what...

Cover Band Superstars!

this is an old lyric with a new coat,  a quickie on the 4 track tape..........cheers for the listen


i'm standing at the station a fifty in my hand
note on the table explaining my plans
aint got no number no forward address
i won't be home, to clean up no mess
thats all i am
your ball and chain

take what you can, what's left for me
making my days, misery
you know you're the reason i'm turning away
i've told you before, you don't hear what i say
thats all i am
your ball and chain

got to get away, gotta wipe my slate clean
stepping out of a nightmare and into a dream
gotta keep on moving, follow the sun
if i seen you again, i don't know what i woulda done
thats all i am
your ball and chain

Ball & Chain

An Original  buried on the hard drive.  As always, I thank you for listening!

Lyrics:
Well, I know that you saw me 
You looked so surprised 
I can’t believe I saw tears in your eyes
After all that you said 
And all that you’d done
I’d have thought you’d been long gone
Out on the run

You always seemed like such a Big City girl
with your high fashion dresses, your diamonds and pearls
You should be out making friends 
in the bright City lights
Holding court with those boys
during the parties at night

I thought that you’d left this small town behind
Did you ever leave or just change your mind?
Dry those eyes 
Smile through those tears
It’s really nice to see you 
It’s been a few years…

Something sweeter may come along
Always a brand new verse for the song
Enjoy the ride for it may not last long
No reason to question if and how it went wrong
Yeah, should be out on the run…
Out having some fun Baby!

Out On The Run
