Dear Reader, 

What is existence? Who made time? Is there a governing force? These are questions that cannot be answered with any certainty. Humankind has spent thousands of years creating stories to answer these questions and there are as many answers as there are cultures. 

When something good happens, there is a tendency for some to thank a deity. But what about when something bad happens? Some will say that this event was the deity's doing too, and that it is all part of some grand plan. 

I prefer not to twist myself into a pretzel attempting to apply logic to what are leaps of faith. And so, I follow science as it attempts to get closer to truth. In this song, I apply—in a whimsical way—a religious trope (Say Amen) to what is my secular belief. I encourage all to follow their own beliefs, whether sacred or secular. I cast no aspersions no matter what your beliefs, so long as those beliefs do not impinge upon the beliefs and freedoms of others. 

My special thanks to Audric Jankauskas for joining me on this song. His immense talent as a guitarist may be known to those of you who have heard him play on several of my other songs, but you should also know of his great musicianship, arranging and compositional skills. Audric added those beautiful angular lines toward the end of the song, which I think are so cool. 

This has been a great summer for me. I've had the opportunity to collaborate with at least 12 other musicians—talented players and singers from all around the globe. The autumn approaches, but the music will continue—I still have much more music that I am eager to release. 

Thank you for your continued support.

All My Best,

Say Amen

Original Song

Lyrics

I've become an emotional wreck,
I'm doin' things you wouldn't expect.
I've spent my time,
Just thinkin' about you.

I'll roll a fag and talk for hours,
About the fools in their ivory towers,
You better watch out,
Cause they're coming after you.

I'm speakin' out cause I've no choice,
They're tryin' to take away my voice.
I'm shoutin' at the world,
That much is true.

Don't look at me like I'm to blame,
The deckchairs have been rearranged,
There's no place left to sit,
They're all in use.

Well it's madness,
With a hint of sadness,
We'll carry on regardless,
We've got nothin' to lose.

They brand us,,
They're tryin' to fuckin' tame us,
They act as if they're blameless,
Their game is fuckin' shameless. 

I've become an emotional wreck,
I'm doin' things you wouldn't expect,
I'm putting up a fight,
Because of you.

Lyrics:

I will never forget the very first time we met
You were my little sweetheart
Thought it would last forever

Does anything last forever?
Maybe the answer is no
Love will come, love will go
Time will tell, cause we don't know
What appears in the future
Love can pop up everywhere
So I will love you today
That is all I can say to you..

Na na na....

So let us enjoy today
With lots of love both ways
From early morning to the night
With tomorrow out of sight

Does anything last forever?
Maybe the answer is no
Love will come, love will go
Time will tell, cause we don't know
What appears in the future
Love can pop up everywhere
So I will love you today
That is all I can say to you...

Na na na...

I will never forget the very first time we met
You were my little sweetheart
Thought this would last forever

All we have is right now
Can't promise anything more
Right now I am truly yours
Thats all I can say for sure

Does anything last forever?
Maybe the answer is no
Love will come, love will go
Time will tell, cause we don't know
What appears in the future
Love can pop up everywhere
So I will love you today
That is all I can say to you...

Na na na...

Does anything last forever?
Maybe the answer is no
Love will come, love will go
Time will tell, cause we don't know
What appears in the future
Love can pop up everywhere
So I will love you today
That is all I can say to you....

Today

Leaves are falling off the trees 
It’s like they’ve got some bad disease
I can feel the winter doldrums setting in
Like I’ve been popped with a pin
Go out in the yard and grab a rake
Don’t know how much more I can take
I’m wishing we were someplace sunny with palm trees and a beach
Where winter can’t reach
It’s been a crazy trip and somehow, we ended up here
Looks like we’re goanna have winter 
For at least another year
Watching the leaves turn from green to brown, 
They’re falling down
Onto the ground
Those summer days were great
but they went by too fast
We had a blast 
But now they’re past
Some people say they like the like the change of seasons 
But I can think of a lot of reasons
Why I’d rather live in a place that doesn’t get cold
Cause it quickly gets old
On those cold winter mornings
 I’ll have to scrape ice
Off my windshield it’s not goanna be nice
As my fingers grow numb
And frostbite nibbles on my nose  and my toes.
I have PTSD from last winter 
When I walked out of that bar
and I had to spend ten minutes shivering 
while the heater warmed up my car
Driving around with white knuckles 
As you watch for black ice
Every time you tap on the brakes
It Feels like you’re rolling the dice
Watching the leaves turn from green to brown, 
They’re falling down, onto the ground
Those summer days were great
but they went by too fast
We had a blast 
But now they’re past
Autumn’s kind of nice but winter’s coming fast
And we’re goanna get blown away by an icy winter blast
We’ll hunker down inside like two bears in hibernation
And when we go outside, we’ll wish we were on a warm vacation.

YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO (WITH WHAT I'VE GOT)
by Bob McCracken/Sharon Spivey


Verse 1:
Lots of women say I’ve got potential
A little smoothin’ out and I’d be fine
And other women try to rearrange me
But you don’t even try to change my mind

Chorus:
‘Cause you know what to do with what I’ve got
You don’t keep remindin’ me of what I’m not
Superman’s got nothin’ on me
When you lay your sweet lovin’ on me 
You know what to do with what I’ve got

Verse 2:
No one knows me better than you know me
But you don’t seem to notice my mistakes
You don’t miss a single chance to praise me
You believe that I’ve got what it takes

Chorus:
'Cause you know what to do with what I’ve got
You don’t keep remindin’ me of what I’m not
Superman’s got nothin’ on me
When you lay your sweet lovin’ on me
You know what to do with what I’ve got

Chorus:
'Cause you know what to do with what I’ve got
You don’t keep remindin’ me of what I’m not
Superman’s got nothin’ on me
When you lay your sweet lovin’ on me
You know what to do with what I’ve got
