The Cats Meow Anniversary Album

LYRICS by Kris Angelis

I said some things that I didn’t mean
Scratch that, I meant them but there’s more in between 

I’m Sorry that I wasn’t graceful 
There’s broken glass in my shoes
I’m trying to dance without knowing
The steps or the notes or the cues

I’d rather jump in and clean up the mess 
than win the game of who cares less
I’d rather try, and lose the fight than 
Win the game of who has more pride 

I said some things that I didn’t mean
Scratch that, I meant them but there’s more in between 

I’m far from perfect, but honest
I often choose fight over flight
The one time I flew left me broken 
And I wish that part would just die

I’d rather jump in and clean up the mess 
than win the game of who cares less
I’d rather try, and and lose the fight than 
Win the game of who has more pride 

I can’t believe I said that 
I was trying to cross the divide
The ships that I've  sent out have all come back wrecks
But the refuge was always inside 

I’d rather jump in and clean up the mess 
than win the game of who cares less
I’d rather try, and and lose the fight than 
Win the game 
I’d rather jump in and clean up the mess 
than win the game of who cares less
I’d rather try, and and lose the fight than 
Win the game of who has more pride

Win The Game

BLACK ROSE OF SHARON (ft Debra Lyn) Guardian

ASHES
Lyrics: Debra Lyn / Music: Jeff Silverman

© 2023
 
You lift me up – just to push me down
Oh, I can’t believe I used to worship your ground
You tell me lies just to watch me cry
And like a fool all I wonder is why
I don’t understand why you do me this way
Why I don’t leave or the reason I stay
 
CHORUS:
Ashes, ashes, burn this down
Ashes, ashes, no one will hear a sound
Ashes, ashes, you never will be found (Down, Down, Down, He’s Goin’, Down, Down, Down, He’s Goin’)
Who’s sorry now (Goin’ Down)
 
VERSE 2:
I was a fool – oh from the start
I believed you when you said we’d never part
You were a dream come true even my friends agreed
I said I do; you put the chains on me
I lost my way, my friends, my family
You can’t see what I don’t want you to see
 
CHORUS:
Ashes, ashes, burn this down
Ashes, ashes, no one will hear a sound
Ashes, ashes, you never will be found (Down, Down, Down, He’s Goin’, Down, He’s Goin’)
Who’s sorry now (Goin’ Down)
 
LEAD:
 
VERSE 3:
I’m gaining strength (I gain my strength) – oh every day (every day)
And sooner or later (sooner or later) you won’t stand in my way (you’re not in my way)
I’ll bide my time till you’re not lookin’ behind
I see the light and freedom is mine
I ain’t got much, but I still got my pride
No way to live barely stayin’ alive.
 
CHORUS:
Ashes, ashes, burn this down
Ashes, ashes, no one will hear a sound
Ashes, ashes, you never will be found (Down, Down, Down)
Who’s sorry now (Down, Down, Down, He’s Goin’)
He’s Goin’ Down (Down, Down, Down, He’s Goin’)
In the ashes (Down, Down, Down, He’s Goin’, Ashes)
You Won’t Be Found (Down, Down, Down, Down, Down, Down, Down)
Ashes, Ashes, (hes’ goin’ down)
Ashes Ashes
Ashes, Ashes
Ashes, Ashes

A NEW album by Seunghee Lee. Intermezzo, a term often used in opera, refers to a musical interlude that offers a pause for reflection and transition within the overarching narrative—a momentary break between acts. 

Take a mental break and immerse yourself in a world of pure musical bliss. Experience the captivating melodies and rhythms of Michele Mangani, performed by clarinetist Seunghee Lee together with pianist Steven Beck and Manhattan Chamber Players.

Tango Étude No. 3 (Arr. for Clarinet and String Orchestra by Michele Mangani)

INNOCENCE OF LOVE is one of my never-released artist songs, originally written and recorded in the early 80’s, now remastered and recently placed in the movie AVERAGE JOE (The Unwavering True Story), courtesy of GPS Songs. Within the first 10 minutes of the movie, this song plays a pivotal role, accompanying a tender scene portraying “love at first sight” between Joe (Eric Close) and Denise (Amy Acker) as children. The heartfelt track captures the innocence and excitement of their early bond, laying the foundation for a lifelong relationship tested by Joe’s unwavering stand for his beliefs. While the film centers around Joe’s fight for religious expression, it delivers a broader message that supports the rights of all religions, not just Christianity, making Average Joe a powerful exploration of faith, love, and the freedoms we all cherish.

I wrote the lyrics and co-wrote the music for this track with the renowned Mitchell Froom, whom I first met in the late ’70s at Sound City Studios. At the time, Mitchell was playing keyboards on David LaFlamme’s solo albums, while I was working on my own solo project with Bill Drescher. Over the years, Mitchell went on to produce the first three Crowded House albums and has worked with a stellar lineup of artists, including The Bangles, Los Lobos, The Corrs, Elvis Costello, Sheryl Crow, Suzanne Vega, and Paul McCartney.

This track is part of my upcoming collection, From The Vault II (A Collection of Works by Jeff Silverman), featuring more unreleased music from the same era. The first collection, From The Vault (A Collection of Works by Rick Springfield and Jeff Silverman), was released during 2010-2015 on Frontiers Records. 

INNOCENCE OF LOVE

Verse 1:

Where is the child inside this wall (inside these walls)
Where are the tears that never seem to fall
It’s easy to be hard without love at all (without you here at all)
Until you came back to me
Until you just made me see

Chorus:

We have the Innocence of love
We hold the Innocence of love
The simple words from the heart
The honesty that love starts
Lets not let the innocence ever part
From our love


Verse 2:

So lets get back to the basics tonight (tonight, tonight)
I feel it’s time for the time to be right, to show you
These moments together are as precious as life
We’re two hearts in a burnin’ glow
We’re two hearts young enough to know

Chorus:

We have the Innocence of love
We hold the Innocence of love
The simple words from the heart
The honesty that love starts
Lets not let the innocence ever part

Bridge:

It’s back to living with simplicity
Back to touchin’ each other so tenderly
That’s the way things should be

Chorus:

We have the Innocence of love
We hold the Innocence of love
The simple words from the heart
The honesty that love starts
Lets not let the innocence ever part

We have the Innocence of love
We hold the Innocence of love
We are the Innocence of love
We give the Innocence of love
We live the Innocence of love

LYRICS:

GOD DID ME A FAVOR 
Words and music by: Dulcie Taylor
Raven in the Window Music, ASCAP

God did me a favor giving me you 
He must have just been tired of seeing me blue

At first you were hard to trust 
‘Cause I had just about given up 
I was ready to run 
Now look what you done

You put the song in my soul 
You put the beat in my heart 
You put the song in my soul 
You put the beat in my heart
God did me a favor giving me you

My love affairs were trouble before I met you 
They’d look so good on paper and then wouldn’t do 
You don’t try to hold me down 
You don’t try to push me around 
Your loving touch 
Has only lifted me up

You put the song in my soul 
You put the beat in my heart 
You put the song in my soul 
You put the beat in my heart
God did me a favor giving me you

Call it Karma or destiny 
Real good luck or meant to be 
Sometime in my life
I must’ve done something right

You put the song in my soul 
You put the beat in my heart 
You put the song in my soul 
You put the beat in my heart
You put the song in my soul
You put the beat in my heart
The song in my soul
Beat in my heart

God did me a favor giving me you
He must have just been tired of seeing me blue
God did me a favor giving me you
