The Cave Made Out Of Fear (Long Form)

A poem about taking responsibility and facing one's fears. Lyrics: 
You have pinned me with a label
Whatever that means, it’s okay
I demand to stay awake to
What’s in every precious day

Without fear, I’ll look upon it
All the Heaven and the Hell
All the misery and the glory
If my soul I needn’t sell

Both with splendor and what’s wretched
God allows each day to fill
That’s a choice that still confuses
And I guess it always will

It is true that most are better
In their quest to wall much out
Though in places they won’t show you
They are struggling with doubt

I’ll take darkness close behind me
Though at times it cost me dear
It is better than losing Heaven
In a cave that’s made of fear

The Cave Made Out Of Fear (Electronic V2)

The poem is about taking responsibility and facing one's fears and facing what Carl Jung refers to as one’s shadow. Lyrics: 
You have pinned me with a label
Whatever that means, it’s okay
I demand to stay awake to
What’s in every precious day

Without fear, I’ll look upon it
All the Heaven and the Hell
All the misery and the glory
If my soul I needn’t sell

Both with splendor and what’s wretched
God allows each day to fill
That’s a choice that still confuses
And I guess it always will

It is true that most are better
In their quest to wall much out
Though in places they won’t show you
They are struggling with doubt

I’ll take darkness close behind me
Though at times it cost me dear
It is better than losing Heaven
In a cave that’s made of fear

Oh Brother, I'm A Man With Mountains To Move (Deep House)

This is a song made from a lyric poem written by Hooley The Poet. It's in a musical genre and style that has become very popular, but I write the lyrics hopoing that they will fit into a variety of different genres. By taking lyric poetry and making songs in different genres, I hope to emphasize the importance of the lyrics as the real scaffolding on which songs with meaning and significance can flower. 

A Voice In The Wilderness (Deep House 1)

The Poet’s Lament (Deep House)

Goodbye To My Box (Deep House)

Just Another Broken Man (MPB 2)

This updated version of my lyric poem came out of a discussion with a friend who made me realize I had not then been humbled enough, and at 77 I've been humbled a lot. I am always grateful to anyone who can open my eyes to the bottomless well of my humanity, mirky as the water in it is from my own error and folly. The line in the song to "sprawling on a pin" is a reference to T.S. Eliot's poem "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock."

Este é um poema lírico sobre a necessidade de quebrarmos nossos egos para que possamos nos conectar com nossos irmãos e irmãs. Isso é o que é necessário, como Cristo disse em Mateus 25:35-40.

Apenas Mais Um Homem Quebrado (Just Another Broken Man - Spiritual)

A song about a girl who had me under her spell for a while.

There Was Something About That Girl

There Was Something About That Girl (K-Pop)

Esta é uma música escrita por mim, inspirada em um clipe do filme "A Árvore da Vida", que você pode assistir neste link: youtu.be/Z28Mi6mUyKo?si=Spx1Pmf3obnHHjou. É uma cena poderosa, brilhantemente interpretada por Jessica Chastain, que descreve dois caminhos pela vida: "o caminho da natureza" e "o caminho da graça". Já a assisti muitas vezes ao longo dos anos. A voz é minha, ajustada automaticamente por IA.

Your Spirit’s Lovely Whisper

This is the song about being a parent and wishing that you could stop time so that no harm could ever come to anyone that you’re responsible for.

A Family Man

This is a song about my first romantic crush that always stayed with me.  She was as sweet as the fresh air, and always remained so.  I first knew her when I was a shy and self-conscious boy who immediately recognized she was far beyond me. But the inspiration of her goodness and kindness always fortified me. That was long ago, and I wrote this song to pay tribute to her.

Yes, There Was A Time

This is the song about an old couple and what really is a value in life and lasts. Real beauty does not fade, but grows.  Life is a puzzle and when we’re young we can’t really see where all the pieces will fit, but they do if we stay at it.

I post multiple versions of songs made from my lyric poems in different genres so those interested can follow the evolution of lyrics through their iterations in various genres.  I aspire to write lyric poetry to touch people, either to make them happy, or to touch their sadness and let them know they are not alone.
