Wonderful songwriting👏👏👏 Wonderful vocal👍

Superb song Joe!  A perfect song about Earth in a few years from now! Great job!👍😎✌🏼

I sometimes wonder if I came from space. 🤪 This is one of my favourites from you. It’s rolls along and flows like a river. Really enjoyable 🔥

Hey Joe man, this is a dismal, but probably accurate forecast for our plant. Love the clever way you frame it, from an alien perspective. Great song, my friend!

great song !always a great vocal delivery with genuine musical lyrics!

Acoustic instrumental rock. Slide guitar in part of the song.

Slide Guitar Anthem

It’s a beautiful mess- this dreaming up life
We’re falling like stars- into each other’s sky’s
Everybody’s gotta have- a reason to shine
Who knows maybe yours- is just like mine

We all try to find reasons why
For the seasons and our fates
And how they intertwine with lines we write in story’s we create 
And I couldn’t find a better friend to roll on down the line….
A great life’s a long goodbye

Life aint no test, pass or fail
So many times we fly off the rail
And sometimes it aint easy, but we aint wasting our lives
Because if we can stick together, it’ll be alright -Alright Yeah
Let loving in!

We all try find the reasons why
For the seasons and our fates
And how they intertwine with lines we write in the story’s we create 
And I couldn’t find a better friend to roll on down the line….
A great life’s a long goodbye

It’s a beautiful mess
It’s a crazy damn life
We’re all stars
In someone else’s sky

We all try find reasons why
For the seasons and our fates
And how they intertwine with lines we write in the story’s we create 
And I couldn’t find a better friend to roll on down the line, Yeah-yeah, we’re gonna rock it-rock it, rock and roll it

We’ll never say goodbye

A great life’s a long goodbye
A great life’s a long goodbye
A great life’s a long goodbye
A great life’s a long
A great life’s a long
Goodbye

A Great Life's A Long Goodbye

I give her my heart
Brilliant me
I give her my heart
And she deceived me
Now I'm filled with darkness
While you're shining bright
Big dumb moon
Big dumb moon
In a big dumb sky

She got me bewildered
She got me bewitched
She might as well sold me
The Brooklyn Bridge
And now I'm wondering
Why oh why
Big dumb moon
Big dumb moon
In a big dumb sky

Bright fat and full
Looking down at me
In an ocean of stars
Twinkling fancy free
Do you not care
Do you not see
The fool she made of me.

A little betrayal
A little deceit
Nothing new to her
But it's new to me
And it's got me sinking
To the depths of the night
Big dumb moon
Big dumb moon
In a big dumb sky.

On a lovely night
Just like this
I was mistaken by the moonlight
Mistaken by a kid

Now I'm filled with darkness
While you're shining bright
Big dumb moon
Big dumb moon
In a big dumb sky

Big Dumb Moon

This track is dedicated to Noodle, our son's gorgeous little dog who recently left the world. He will be missed very much.

Noodle

Hello friends! My latest piece is the thing about overcoming problems in life. A melancholy journey towards hope. It's a search for light when it's hard to find it in the darkness. I invite you to listen to it and thank you for stopping by my surf music! 🌞🎸
In the intro to this song you can hear our dog named Waldek and a chorus of birds who wish to remain anonymous! 😊

Chasing the Clouds away

The universe is big, it makes you feel small.   
So many stars you can’t count them all

The signals came from outer space
Signs of an alien intelligence
We reacted with joy and mounted a mission
To investigate their presence

The messages were old and somewhat primitive
But surely by now they’d matured
We rejoiced that we were no longer alone
In the cold sterile universe

We packed our ships and traveled there
On a mission of friendship and peace
But all we found was the empty shell 
Of a world that lost its lease

A desert world no sign of life, craters scar the land
All evidence has been swept away by the cruel and shifting sand
I wonder what happened, they really screwed up
I’m glad I wasn’t there when their world blew up
I’m sure it wasn’t pretty, I’m sure it wasn’t fun.
I wonder if they even realized what they’d done

The air is cold, the sky is harsh, no trees to shade the sun
For those survived the initial blast, there was no place left to run

We realized that we were still alone in the cold sterile universe
Not enough love and too much hate, they ended up in a sorry state

A desert world no sign of life, craters scar the land
All evidence has been swept away by the cruel and shifting sand
I wonder what happened, they really screwed up
I’m glad I wasn’t there when their world blew up
I’m sure it wasn’t pretty, I’m sure it wasn’t fun.
I wonder if they even realized what they’d done

We traveled home, again alone, with news of their demise
And once again, there was no one left to see that old sunrise

Songs with a twinge of humor (and some a bit more serious).  My primary focus right now is songwriting (and I enjoy singing the vocals).  

I can strum a guitar and play chords on the piano but, I have been leaning heavily on .vst plug ins ( EZkeys￼2 EZ drummer 3) and to try to make them sound as good as I can in a home / non studio environment (I sing my vocals in a walk-in closet) using  Logic Pro 11.  I am happy that the technology has improved to the point where it’s possible for a home based musician to actually make decent sounding music.

I do not use AI to create any of my melodies or lyrics. Personally, I enjoy the challenge of coming up with the song on my own human intelligence. 

I welcome your comments and enjoy listening to all the great music on SoundCloud.
