I made this song and this video for my friend "Double A".  She's a pretty inspiring person in that she seems to be able to do anything she sets her mind to... and she's running marathons now. In fact, she'll be running the Copenhagen Marathon in 2022 and this video is to help her get pumped up!!!

The title comes from a strange bit of vandalism grace of my friend Jeff Morris. Back in the 1990's, the night before the Boston Marathon,  he snuck on to the route and spray painted a big letter "D" at the end of the "ONE MILE TO GO" that was marked on the pavement.

One More Mile To God

OFF BALANCE

Every story has an end.
The Yellow Sea road twists and turns. 
Motorcycle wheeling  round the bend.
I lost control but found my nerve.
Time slows down when you’re moving fast.
Ain’t no future, Ain’t no past. 

What if I fall?
What if I land?
If I’m OFF BALANCE
I stand a chance.

Rather not know. 
Rather find out. 
If I’m OFF BALANCE
I can still dance. 

Blue wool blanket in a sad first class.
Oxycontin was kicking in.
My poor leg glued up in a cast.
Tried to move about the cabin. 
Time slows down when you’re moving slow.
I lost my balance and down I go. 
 
What if I fall?
What if I land?
If I’m OFF BALANCE
I stand a chance.

Rather not know. 
Rather find out. 
If I’m OFF BALANCE
I can still dance. 

I can use my mind’s eye
To paint a picture of paradise.
Even in the worst times 
I can find the

OFF BALANCE

YOUR GOODBYE SMILE

On concluding this orbit 
I see the new recording. 
I beam back to you
When I see your face.

A satellite beeps in the night. 

YOUR GOODBYE SMILE
It always lands on time. 
To burn the screen as you flicker away. 
I still see YOUR GOODBYE SMILE  

At the end of the planets
I am so expansive.
I beam to the world
From so far away.

A satellite beeps in the night. 

YOUR GOODBYE SMILE
It always lands on time. 
To burn the screen as you flicker away. 
I still see your…    

Can you hold your faith with warmth and strength?
What have I done so far from the sun?
I’m like a kite on a 
Very long run and well 
What if I’m wrong and the
Thoughts in my head about
Love are pretend and the
Smile of my dreams doesn’t 
Mean anything because
I’m all alone and just   
Zeroes and ones make up

YOUR GOODBYE SMILE
It always lands on time. 
To burn the screen as you flicker away. 
I still see YOUR GOODBYE SMILE

YOUR GOODBYE SMILE

Here's a song I wrote for my cardiologist!

This is just a rough mix sample for the upcoming release: "Yes Yes Yes" Tin Pan's 6th full length CD. Enjoy!

"Hey!
Gonna tell you about my LADY DOC.
She's sure good looking.
She don't miss nothing.
I'm gonna get real sick to see my LADY DOC

The last time I went to see my LADY DOC
she gave me something
I mean loving.
and I'm gonna get real sick to see my LADY DOC

She lets me know she's in control
She wears her high heels in the hospital
And I'm ready, willing and able
when she tells me to get on the table.

Hey!
I told you about my LADY DOC
She fixed my heart
We're never gonna part.
And I don't have to get real sick
just to see my LADY DOC"

My friend Lisa has a funny expression:  "There's a monkey in the monkey wrench." I wrote a song around it.
