The Blue Room – smoke and whisky and tears….

The original idea was a smoky, jazzy, late night club-for-lonely-hearts kind of thing.  But since my “jazz” piano always ends up honky-tonk, and I can’t seem to lose the backwoods in my voice, the final product – though still smoky & late night – is more lonely hearts beer joint than jazz club.  Jazzabilly maybe.  Redneck Blues. 
								
But there is a plan to give the song a little jazz credibility.  I play an organ solo mid-song that I actually wrote for saxophone.  I’m sending the song to my little brother, longtime Atlanta musician Herb Avery, who says he knows a sax player who’ll take it on.  So if Herbert can make that happen, I’ll upload the new version later.  If he can’t, I’ll be looking for a sax player out there.  And yes, for now I’m keeping the sax player pic posted, to remind me to get this done.

My daughter Julia helped out vocally on the choral refrain.

So here we go.  Come set for a spell in The Blue Room…..when nobody loves you.

The Blue Room (orig. version)

Jazz, Classical, Ambient, Progressive Rock, Jazz Fusion, Electronic, 

To Them Who Drift Aimlessly

When I was working on this I realized it had particular kind of 'Churchie' overtones, I though 'Grace' sounded right for the title.

'Grace'

"The Ninth Life" by MH Army is a relentless Drum and Bass / Electronic Lucky Punk anthem, blending driving basslines, sharp percussion, and eerie synth textures for a dark, adrenaline-fueled vibe

The Ninth Life

IF YOU REALLY WANT TO UNDERSTAND ME
YOU MUST EAT MY PAIN
YOU MUST GET INSIDE MY HEAD
YOU MUST KNOW WHAT IT FEELS LIKE
TO WRESTLE WITH ETERNAL SHAME
>
I WILL EXPOSE YOU TO A LIFE UNKIND
WHERE YOU WILL GET TO DIE ONE THOUSAND TIMES
MY SUFFERING WAS MEANT FOR YOU
COME SHARE THE PAIN I’M GOING THROUGH
>
EAT MY PAIN
>
THIS WAS NEVER OF MY CHOOSIN’
YOU BROUGHT THIS ON YOURSELF
ACCUSING ME OF LOVING YOU
SEEMS I NEVER MET YOUR CRAVING FOR ABUSE
>
BUT NOW YOU’VE OPENED MY EYES
DEVELOPED THE SKILL TO FULFILL YOUR NEEDSSO NOW 
SO NOW I OFFER PAIN
THE PAIN YOU’VE ALWAYS CRAVED
>
DON’T BE AFRAID, 
TAKE ANOTHER BITE
ACCEPT THIS LOADED INVITE
SATE YOUR APPETITE
STEP INSIDE MY TORTURED MIND
ENJOY THE FEAR  IN WHAT YOU FIND
THIS IS THE LAST TIME THAT I LET YOU CLIMB INSIDE
YOU’LL DISAPPEAR WHEN I LEAVE YOU FAR BEHIND

EAT MY PAIN

In another time another place
We measure our progress through our disgrace
And danced in the halls knew who we were
Escaped the race and gave it away

Now we are set and running late
Hard to believe we lived so free
Bent in the way -the branch swings
Caught in the grace of the Byzantines

Mosaic of color helps escape
The beauty of art starts taking shape
Inspiring those from under its wing
this modern world is fleeting 
remembering days of creating
Byzantine dreams run through my head
Sometimes  I live there instead
 Beautiful locks of abstract gold
Perfect icons and frescos 

Living off the dreams of the Byzantines

Dreams of the Byzantines

Level Up

discover the friendly frog in you...it can't be wrong...it just keeps moving forward...it just takes a little patience
