MAY from SPRING A Symphonic Poem

"A Love Like No Other"

Recollections of flowing memories from when you entered my life
Your long black flowing hair & those beckoning eyes that still call me
It was obvious that we were never through which is why I returned
And in this world, who could ever say they knew of romance like this?
A Love Like No Other

Am deeply sorry for the pain I caused from an addiction that destroyed me
You were always the one & I struggled to cope with all I could not say
As time slowly passes by, I know in my heart you will be back in my arms one day
A Love Like No Other, a girl that gave me a reason to smile
A Love Like No Other, the connection of two souls that become one

Shane Beck (The Last American Poet)

Summer Day w/Rob Olsson on Bass

Another simple song somewhere between pop and country. I wanted it to sound like something recorded in 1965, when I was two years old and was entranced by the music I heard on the radio, TV, or record player.

Lyrics:
You only love me when I
Do what you want me to 
Got this weight on my shoulder
Don’t want to be a martyr

Blooms in full flourish
Fold away at night
Out in summer air
Out in summer air

Can we talk about the fact that
You want to be free
You’re capable at any time
Break your bonds and run away

What you’re giving, only some of
What I want to take
Take it all for myself
Life turns on a dime

Blooms in full flourish
Fold away at night
Out in summer air
Out in summer air

Can we talk about the fact that
You want to be free
You’re capable at any time
Break your bonds and run away

You out in summer air
Prowling in my garden
Turn my back, you run away
Don’t know what you’ll encounter

You only love me when I
Do what you want me to 
Got this weight on my shoulder
Don’t want to be a martyr

Blooms in full flourish
Fold away at night
Out in summer air
Out in summer air

Life can turn on a dime
Turn on a dime
Life can turn on a dime

Blooms In Full Flourish

Inspired by Sergei Rachmaninoff Op.3 No.1 Elegy 
Her gaze fixed, her wisdom boundless ...wise as a serpent and harmless as a dove

Wise Yet Harmless

I can be so happy- all alone (acoustic version)

Isn't it funny how things are changing? Isn’t it sad how they stay the same.
Some folks stay busy rearranging. Some play the game.
I know you just want what’s best for your family.
Everybody else just wants that too.
Maybe at the end of the day all that really matters is not so much what you do,
Or who you do it to, it’s why you do what you do.

If love is not the answer, do you even know what the question is?
If I know my brother has my back, he can surely know that I have his.
If there’s gonna be tomorrow, better be taking care of today.
‘Cause there’s only so much sorrow that can be washed away.

In a perfect world we could just do our own thing.
But we know perfection don't live ‘round here
Start singing the song, let the world hear you singing. Love live’s ‘round here.
And when you come around to the chorus, sing it,
Hum along if you don’t know the words.
Maybe you can even add a little harmony. Set your spirit free.
Sing along with me. Sing in harmony.

If love is not the answer, do you even know what the question is?
If I know my brother has my back, he can surely know that I have his.
If there’s gonna be tomorrow, better be taking care of today.
‘Cause there’s only so much sorrow that can be washed away.

Every time you turn your back on someone in need, a little piece of you slowly dies.
Yes, I realize you will not always succeed, but at least you’ll know you tried.

If love is not the answer, do you even know what the question is?
If I know my brother has my back, he can surely know that I have his.
If there’s gonna be tomorrow, better be taking care of today.
‘Cause there’s only so much sorrow that can be washed away.

LYRICS

Music is in You Music is in Me                                                    
Music is our Philosophy
Don't bother stop it
don't even bother try                                                                                                  
it's part of   Life...
Music all the time

Child yet feel it 
Youth can play it
Elders still make it
Some are famous and wealthy
Some are poor materially 
but so rich artistically....

Music is in You Music is in Me
Music is our Philosophy
Don't bother stop it
don't even bother try
it's part of  Life...
Music Day & Night

Music comes from Deep inside
Expressing the subtile
from Souls to Souls
Music is Vital Entertainement
Must be the Sixth Element....

Music is in You Music is in Me
Music is our Philosophy
Don't bother stop it
don't even bother try
it's part of  Life...
Music all the Time

Music is Voice of People
Sounds of the Earth
Music can make us feel Higher
bring us together

Couldn't live without her....

Music is in You Music is in Me
Music is our Philosophy
Don't bother stop it
don't even bother try
it's part of  Life...
Music day & night

...All the time...

Music is Vital Entertainement
Must be the Sixth Element....

“Good stuff mister! You've got the jansch/drake thing going on there. Great, authentic guitar sound on 'Searching for Atlantis'. Keep rockin Best Nick H ”
- Nick Harper, Singer/songwriter guitarist extraordinaire

Johnson, your music is so real and transparent, authentic and truly from the heart..you remind us of the simple things the buried feelings of just living that the modern fast paced "so called life" seems to ignore completely, thank you for sharing your music with the world :D "”
- Hidden Mountain

Just wonderful, sweet and charming songs you're writing here Johnson..I love the simplicity and elegance of songs like "no return" and "all we have is one another"..you got the cool, ease with the natural storytelling style of writers like Chris Difford or Paul Heaton..romantic and rich and very tightly crafted. Great work!!”
- Mike White, Mike White Presents 

Not too long back I met a fellow musician, a thoroughly nice chap. His name is Johnson Ramm. You know the feeling you get when you've found something new and original and you want to keep it to yourself but you can't help it and you have to shout it from the rooftops and say "This guy is amazing!!" This is one of those moments. I was asked to do some production work not long ago for his E.P. His style? Folk. Really good hearty folk. Lyrically, this guy is a genius. He writes the kind of words you wish you had thought of about 5 minutes previous! His attitude towards his work as an artist was such an inspiration as he let me guide him on certain aspects, it was me that ended up learning so much from that day. I couldn't really tell you who he sounds like, as he has a raw and unfinished quality to his voice, it just fits into place with the atmosphere that he creates from his lyrics and melodies.”
