"It Can't Be Wrong" is a song for my lovely wife and pal Teresa. It's part reminiscing and part recent events. Happy Valentine's day Honey!
I recorded this at Terrence O'Brien's home studio and we teamed on the arrangement, it's his guitar work/slide work/ mixing magic. I wrote words and a melody with a tad bit of harmonica and we took it from there. I love my honey> Lyrics Below

It Can’t be Wrong

        1.It can’t be wrong
           Because you right me.
           What’s soft but strong,
           I can’t take lightly.
     2)  I said that I’d stay
          Just to be clever.
          But now I must admit,
          I need you forever-
Chorus:  
 Ain’t it tragic                                    
When the magic
Stops a’ workin
And you’ve lost your song?
When the wind ceases breathin’
And those stars on the horizon are gone…
Please lead me on-

  3) I recall, ten years ago
       While I was way down south.
       The moon lit the cypress pools.
       Like wishes in my mouth.

  4) Through wily wax and wane
      Disaster’s darkest hour
      In passion and in pain.
      These flames will always flower.
Chorus:
Musical interlude
  5) That gander gossiped
      Trash talked about us.
       It ruffled my feathers
       But his pond will turn to dust.

  6) Some sad day down the road
      When you’re crying all alone.
      Will you find that peace
      For what you can’t atone?

7) You’ve got those big green eyes.
    Hungry and honest.
   Warming the winter skies
    Just like Spring’s promise….
Chorus:   end with “It can’t be wrong”      JJE 1/29/17

It Can't Be Wrong

Written by Jim Eriksen with Alex Gonzalez "The Mixing Maestro" on bass  
 Lyric below-( narrator and voices indicated )
Arachne and Freedom Fly
Part I
Narration:
        A figure stood at the top of a hill
        At the foot of the world
        And the heel of the sky.
        He was harboring a mystery
        And he bore the name, Freedom Fly
Spider:     I can tell you of an alpine glow
        And the life upon 
        The mountain side.
        Where I choose be where I go
        Meals of different shape and size.
        Lay down besides me, 
        Utter these words
        Gaze into these eyes.
        We all seek leaving
        As you are grieving.
        Spread your wings and fly!
        If you get stuck, your out of luck
        You knew this was a web
        It’s your choice to do or die
        Just mark ye what I’ve said.
Freedom Fly:
    Oh your crystal laughter
    Oh my silver eyes
    That is why I seek you
    For the skill you prize.
    That is why I seek you
    For the skill you prize.
    Oh daughter of art
    I’m lost to your ways
    Teach me how to weave
    I await your say.
    Teach me how to coax them
    I await the way.
Part II
Narration:
    Arachne, lady spider.
    So many legs
    So little fear.
    Yon Freedom yearns secrets,
    But your gifts be
    What you hold most dear.
Freedom 

Fly:    You’re probably wondering
    What I’ve got
    That is so great to give.
    It’s what I’ve earned
    From chancing fate.
    The strength and will to live.

    Lady, I trust you
    I have come here to
    Put aside all myth.
    I’ll risk the hunger
    And I’ll return to
    Grant you your life’s wish!

Spider:
    Freedom I tire
    Of your dodging and your pleas.
    Come and rest besides me
    Love is all we need
    (laughter) 
    Love is all we need.
    Poor boy, poor boy


Freedom

Fly:
    Oh my flights of fancy
    Oh your nimble arms
    Predator’s attraction
    Yet I’m safe from harm.
    Arachne so graceful
    My promise holds true.
    I’m the unexpected
    Defining something new.               JJE

Arachne and Freedom Fly

Yes, In a Well

Big Thanks to Terrence O'Brein for helping with the arrangement and producing this song. His guitar work and collaboration compliments what I'm trying to express. I wrote a lyric and musical idea that has evolved over time.  It's more or less bare to the world with no explanations at this point.  It could use drums but there are none, although there is that sense of driving urgency. That thought in replay that won't go away

Hell Bent on Me

I like to write songs and collaborate with musicians and other writers.
