Originally a song I wrote and played back in 2003 with Fuzzy Grubb, this is as far as I can take this one right now...plus, ran out of tracks on the free version of protools. Have about 100 other songs I want to get done before I come back and start working on the final version with the bridge, outro, additional layers, and noodles...thank you.  

Vs1a
We go up and down these city streets
And this hustle’s got the best of me
Every day it’s the same old thing
Take me home and leave me be

Vs1b
My nerves relax, midsummer night
Roll down the window and take a drive
Cool summer breeze is washing over me
So long since I’ve felt this alive

Pre-chorus
Hot Summer days won’t drag me down
Hot Summer nights and I’m heading out
I’ll be by to pick you up
Two damn days just ain’t enough

chorus
Oh Blue, where are you, where have you been
Oh Blue, five more day, and I’m free again

Vs2a
All this buzz up in my brain
All that noise can drive a man insane
Everyone trying to play the king
In the end it don’t mean a thing

Vs2b
Ice cold beer and a fire light
Sun coming up and I feel all right
Doing all I can just to breathe it in
It’s all I needed to begin again

Pre-chorus
Hot Summer days won’t drag me down
Hot Summer nights and I’m heading out
I’ll be by to pick you up
Two damn days just ain’t enough

chorus
Oh Blue, where are you, where have you been
Oh Blue, five more day, and I’m free again.

Blue (Short Version)

Don’t Unplug Me 

This one is for my kids.  I wanted to create the energy I feel as a father, through time spent with your child, living in a dream, floating along, embracing the time we have, and hoping it will never end:  unplugging is to remove the electricity to steal the energy of a life living with a heart full of love for your children) 

Verse 1:

Long before you could walk, you lift me up, and carried me.  
And now, here at my side, we get to float, above everything  

Pre-Chorus: 
Distant dreams or memories; doesn’t matter to me 
We have all that we need, so don’t let this end  

Chorus
Please don’t unplug me 

Verse 2: 
Well, we walk, and we talk, and you sing your songs to me 
With our heads, so stuck in the clouds, we are balloons, and we ain’t coming down 

Pre-Chorus: 
Distant dreams or memories; doesn’t matter to me 
We have all that we need, so don’t let this end 

Chorus
Please don’t unplug me

Dont Unplug Me

Verse 1
The morning comes, glad I'm alive
Roll over, feel the light.
Sweet morning dew, cold mountain chill
Above a golden morning sky

Chorus
And on the air, the feeling came
Picked up my head and took it all in
The forest's song, it carries me
Something about the sunrise sets me free
And when I rise
My soul rejoice

Verse 2
Across the hills, a burning fog
Last ember glows and then it's gone
The smell of grass, swimming in the creek.
Swaying with the trees, the sun is holding me.

Chorus
And on the air, the feeling came
Picked up my head and took it all in
The forest's song, it carries me
Something about the sunrise sets me free
And when I rise
My soul rejoice

Verse 3
I watched in awe, horizon rose, across the sky and earth it bled
Such perfect grace, I stood amazed
My shadow stretched and I was humbled again.

Chorus
And on the air, the feeling came
Picked up my head and took it all in
The forest's song, it carries me
Something about the sunrise sets me free
And when I rise
My soul rejoice

Something About Sunrise

Doesn’t matter what you feel
Cause none of this is real
Doesn’t matter what you say
Because This all will go away

When the season is new
We change everything we do
When the season is new
It’s a different me and you

It Doesn’t matter what you believe
Because All of this will leave
And it Doesn’t matter where you are
We all see the same stars 

When the season is new
We change everything we do
When the season is new
It’s a different me and you

Time heals all wounds 

So your current state is this
And soon it will be that
Enjoy it while it’s here
And this is where you’re at

When the season is new
We change everything we do
When the season is new
It’s a different me and you

Time heals all wounds

Somebody Cares

This is an old Fuzzy Grubb tune, written in collaboration with Sam Fiorenza, James Seguin, and Dave Homuth.  Not yet completed, we will be adding a proper guitar solo soon.

I met a girl on a Tuesday night
She turned out to be Gemini
Red hair and grey green eyes that could light up a room like a firefly
She turned me on with her devilish smile
Said she might keep me around for a while
Wednesday came and I was half in lust, I didn't even know that I could fall in love
Thursday morning and I hadn't slept, she kissed me once and the other half went
In Friday never looking back, my heart still pounding as the love flows in
Saturday and she said goodbye, no explanation as she walked away

She could have been my Sunday, ended up my Monday

Tuesday morning and I want to die
No womans ever made my cry
I'm burned out like a suicide and all that I can see is that devil's smile
Wednesday morning and I pick up my head but the pains so strong that I lose it again.
Feels like forever with each breathe that I take and in the morning I wake and I feel only pain
Thursday comes and I'm almost alright
Looking forward to this Friday night
A Newcastle sets my mind at ease, Saturday I wake up and my mind is free

She could have been my Sunday, ended up my Monday

She said to me, how's it gonna be
When the time gets here, where you gonna go
When the time comes, are you gonna explode
Are you gonna know when you've got to break it down
You've got to sing the song
and then you break it down
and then she broke me down
and when she broke me down
she really brought me down

Sunday (Fuzzy Grubb - 2003)

Lyrics:
the air flows in motion, i'm watching from the distance
before we bury each other, the fumes come close to us

creating numerous voids, but the storm has just begun
it seems we were misemployed, and our core has been broken

when we all decay, symphony of grey
as the day will tell how much there’s left

who’s seen before views of clean light?
we stumble along these grounds
we are not strangers to this sight
the waves are crushing down

just comprehended how it feels to be demoted, still not far from home
deep in my thoughts I encountered safety, but I won’t neglect the fire

when we all decay, symphony of grey
as the day will tell how much there’s left

who’s seen before views of clean light?
we stumble along these grounds
we are not strangers to this sight
the waves are crushing down
the day is devised for us to dance
as the ether drowns, we glance
will I be there when no one else will take the lead?

a lack of sense, a waste of flesh, devastating our oxygen
I tried again, the clod won’t heed, will we get swallowed by the sky?

who’s seen before views of clean light?
the waves are crushing down
will I be there when no one else will take the lead?

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everybody! I hope everyone is enjoying a safe and happy Christmas this year! This is my new Christmas song for this year, I wrote it during the summer like all great Christmas songs!😂 Of course, Love is appreciated all year-round but it's really important during this time of year! I know some people get depressed during the holidays and I wrote this song to cheer everybody up because "Love Is A Holiday", am I right? It's understood and it makes you feel so good! So let love lead the way! I was very depressed during the holidays after my divorce and I felt abandoned and very alone for several years and then guess what? The magic of love returned and the joy of Christmas filled my heart once again that very first Christmas after I met Anita. It's been almost 20 years now and Christmas has been wonderful ever since! Ho-Ho-Holy Moly, I think I'm going to cry!🥺👀😂
     I recorded this song by myself and kept building on it over several days! If I had a choir it would be singing this song with me! It's one of my feel good songs and I hope that feeling infects everyone that listens to it this Christmas. It's very much a sing-a-long, Fa-La-La-La-La type of song with 2 special treats attatched to it!!! 

VIDEO - https://youtu.be/OQnsHTkGS8s

     In the video during the ending credits, I added Sharri Hobbs singing "The Christmas Song" back in 2002. Then after that song, I attached a Christmas Bonus Video of the very first Christmas song I ever wrote back in 2000 called "Have A Very Merry Christmas"! This video also has Sharri singing it and me and Charlie singing back-up vocals and was originally directed by Anita and one of our first videos. I enhanced and remixed it a bit this year and remixed the audio too! All in All this video is super long because of the remixing I did and the bonus material, it's about 8 minutes long, but it's my Christmas gift to everybody this year!  This video will drop on Dec 15th on YouTube so don't forget to come back and watch it!🎅☃️🎄
     I don't know how much longer I have left but I will try to make the whole world sing in perfect harmony as long as I can! Love and music unites us all and we need unity more than ever now! So let's all grab a cup of Christmas Cheer and invite the Christmas Spirit to fill our hearts and love one another right now! MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY and please remember "Love Is A Holiday"! Cheers!🙏😎✌🏼🎅🧑🏻‍🎄🤶🥂😍🥰😘🥳🤗🫢🎄⭐️🌟✨☃️❄️👍
 
“LOVE IS A HOLIDAY"

LOVE IS A HOLIDAY, LOVE IS THE ONLY WAY,
IT’S UNDERSTOOD, IT MAKES YOU FEEL SO GOOD, 
LOVE IS A HOLIDAY,

I’VE BEEN DEPRESSED SO LONG,
FELT LOVE HAD DONE ME WRONG, 
THEN YOU TURNED MY LIFE AROUND, 
IN OH SO MANY WAYS, YEAH,
LOVE IS A HOLIDAY,

LOVE IS A HOLIDAY, LOVE IS THE ONLY WAY,
IT’S UNDERSTOOD, IT MAKES YOU FEEL SO GOOD, 
LOVE IS A HOLIDAY,

LOVE HAS ITS UPS AND DOWNS,
SOMETIMES IT’S LOST THEN FOUND,
IT CAN BE VERY HIT OR MISS,
UNTIL IT FINALLY GOES YOUR WAY, YEAH, 
LOVE IS A HOLIDAY,

NURSING A BROKEN HEART, 
IT ALWAYS HURTS TO LOSE,
LOVE CAME INTO MY LIFE, 
AND CHANGED MY POINT OF VIEW,
NOW MY HEART FEELS BRAND NEW,

LOVE IS A HOLIDAY, LOVE IS THE ONLY WAY,
IT’S UNDERSTOOD, IT MAKES YOU FEEL SO GOOD, 
LOVE IS A HOLIDAY, 
LOVE IS A HOLIDAY, OH YEAH,
LOVE IS A HOLIDAY.

"LOVE IS A HOLIDAY" (Video - https://youtu.be/OQnsHTkGS8s)

“Roots of Resistance” is part of the Basically Done Original Soundtrack — the official musical companion to Donald E. Pickett’s novel Basically Done and the upcoming Basically Done series/franchise.

The song addresses the erosion of land ownership, community displacement, and the quiet but unyielding resistance of working people rooted in place. Rather than protest through spectacle, the track carries its defiance through restraint — steady rhythm, grounded imagery, and inherited values that refuse to be erased by corporate systems.

This piece reflects Appalachian generational memory, where land was once attainable through labor and dignity, and where loss of place is not merely economic, but cultural and spiritual. “Roots of Resistance” stands as a truth-forward anthem — not shouting, but enduring.
