Don´t Keep Me Waiting

My life is so empty without you
After all the years we´ve been through
Long ago when we first met
You caught me in your net
Do it again!

My body yearns with desire
My bleeding heart burns like fire
The moment you made eyes at me
You blew my mind entirely
Do it again... Don´t play for time
I´ll be there if you change your mind

Baby, Baby...Don´t Keep Me Waiting
Sorry if I´ve done you wrong
Baby, Baby... Don´t Keep Me Waiting
My love is still so strong

My nights are long and lonely
I´m waiting for my one and only
I´m in need of your kiss
And I´m dying for your caress
Do it again..throw me a line
I´ll be there if you change your mind

Baby, Baby... Don´t Keep Me Waiting
Sorry if I´ve done you wrong
Baby, Baby...Don´t Keep Me Waiting
My love is still so strong

Baby, Baby...Don´t Keep Me Waiting..........................

Don't Keep Me Waiting

A slightly different mix of a track I have posted already. This one has the drums coming in a little earlier in the song. I'll have this mixed properly and mastered at some point.  Lindsey Kay Scott, my daughter,  is singing the lead on this song.

My Home - Remix

My Home - Remix - ft. Lindsey Kay Scott

[Verse 1]
How long you gonna let him hit you?
You keep smiling like it’s all okay
Thick makeup to cover up your pain
He blacked out your left eye
Another thick layer, just to hide another black eye
Is this the man you wanna be with?

[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve seen how he grabs your neck
Is this the life you want? Is this the story you want to tell?


[Verse 2]
If you come with me,
I can save you; just let me
I will save you 
Let me take care of you
You don’t need him, you never did
Wake up Girl, don't you know you’re a queen
Let me be your king 

[Pre-Chorus]
Let me make you dinner
Feed you myself
Bath you
Pamper you like a baby
Watch you sleep just to protect you.
Things he can never do

[Chorus]
Call me Captain Save a Ho
Girl, you need this help
I can't watch while he treats you like a punching bag
I "won't" watch while he grabs your neck.
Every day, it’s a new scar
It ends now; I'm stepping in
He doesn’t deserve you

[Verse 3]
I’ve seen that look in his eyes, predator hunting prey
But you call it fierce love, say he loves you
Oh no, he’s a straight-up predator, and you’re his prey
But now, I’m the apex hunter
Hunter becomes the hunted
I’m here to save you

[Verse 4]
He says he “runs a tight ship” nah,
The only thing he runs is his fists on your face
Let me save you
Here I come
Oh, here I come
Coming, to save you
Now let me save you
Take care of you
Love you the way you like
Now let me save you

Let Me Save You

“To every child who sees mama’s sacrifice and still dreams big, you are her greatest gift; and her hope for tomorrow.”

[Verse 1]
Mama, don’t worry, one day
One day I’m gonna be on TV
Then I'm gonna buy you the world
Oh mama, don’t you worry

I’m gonna buy you that Benz
Take you off this ghetto
Mama, you know I’m a beast
So cry no more mama

[Chorus]
Oh mama, don’t worry
Just watch me, watch this
Mama, oh mama
I know you deserve more
Mama, one day, just one day

[Verse 2]
Then I’ll fly you around the world
See your dream city
You are a queen, mama
It will happen, it will

[Chorus]
Oh mama, don’t worry
Just watch me, watch this
Mama, oh mama
I know you deserve more
Mama, one day, just one day

[Bridge / Outro]
No more old bread,
Menus on the table,
Caviar and foie gras,
Mama, one day, just one day.

Oh Mama

She loves me, she loves me not
She loves me, she loves me not

All these insecurities
They rattle around inside my head

She loves me, she loves me not
She loves me, she loves me not

I hold my head under the water
The river rushes by

She loves me, she loves me not
She loves me, she loves me not

I cross the road without looking
I’m in the hands of fate

She loves me, she loves me not
She loves me, she loves me not

She loves me, she loves me not
She loves me, she loves me not

Are the clouds on the horizon
Getting nearer or farther away?

She loves me, she loves me not
She loves me, she loves me not

She loves me, she loves me not
She loves me, she loves me not

She Loves Me She Loves Me Not

Loves not a game !

Bitterness in my coffee cup
Sip it slow but it’s never enough
Your name’s a shadow in the morning light
Fades
But it never feels quite right

You play
I fold
The deck runs cold
But I’m not breaking

Bitterness
Bittersweet
Your love’s a game I can’t defeat
Deadly hands
Your joker’s grin
I won’t play
But you still win

Board’s reset
But the scars remain
Love’s a gamble
We lost the game
Your laugh echoes in the empty hall
I tear it down
Brick by brick
Wall by wall

Years ago, my brothers and I had spent several weeks getting my dad's house ready to sell after he had passed. I was in the realtor's office ready to sign the paper work when the prospective buyers asked why I wasn't buying the house I grew up in.  I said (not thinking) "Too many ghosts".  The realtor immediately jumped in and said, "he means memories" to which I smiled confirming the needed clarification:)  It does beg the question however, how many "ghosts" haunt our lives; bad decisions, fractured relationships, things we did or failed to do.  I have found hope and forgiveness in the Christian faith, others have found healing in the passing of time, others still carry a heavy burden of what could have been or should have been.  Peter explores the theme in poignant verse to Seagull's quixotic soundtrack.  I am honored to  contribute a few colors to the tapestry;)

Ghost of a Sense:

Yes, I know you.
I can feel your presence.
I can touch you, smell you.
I see you not by sight of eye
And yet I ken that you are I
That vespered wraith that writhes within
To test my faith, try my sin
Push the bounds to cause offence
A moral, soul thing, ghost of a sense recalls myself, so well defined
Entrenched, walls behind, built so sound of dust that crowned the pity, falling soft amiss,
Deep inside the tears I cry as here I find my self-abyss.

Whispers bringing shadows, filled of secrets therein held,
Memories, morose, piece me still, to wear in time, my wasted face.
And now reside, cast aside, to forge and ever meld,
Of haunting, ringing echoes, that will alone their chime erased.

Ah! But you won't twist me, nor bind me fast, to the sandy doctrines of the misty past,
With its beards and staffs and crinkled testaments.
My future's sprinkled here present with your crass irrelevance and matters not that sat right there,
The blackest chasm in my simpling world so spare,
Where space and time have overspilled the leaking psyche of a crippled mind,
That barely copes, unfulfilled, a crooked, limpid moral health of broken shrines
That hopes to find ....
.......some worthwhile inner self.

Ghost of a Sence (Seagull, Peter, David)

John Carpenter’s minimalist masterpiece transformed for the Nighty Night Nightmares ball - icy synths layered with processed orchestral strings and dark percussion, fusing vintage horror minimalism with modern electronic madness.

Halloween Theme

The hallway in my mind is hard to explain. To  better your understanding of this place similar to a Hallway, but I don't know how to explain this place in grave detail. This Hallway is where my negative emotions confide. What people judge me as, what people think of me, my fuckups my mistakes all confide here. Once I realized  I have to change the way I think, truly understanding that time will eventually take us all away,  with those baggage we have in life. It was truly freeing. Hallway chapter 2 is on the way.

Sunday Breakfast W/ Blackbird - Smoothy Funky Fusion

In the hours after Culloden, soldiers fleeing the battle were slaughtered, as were those left wounded on the field.

No mercy shown
Steel on bone
Brothers gone
Oh no

Sky cries rain
I feel no pain

They lie dead
Our colours stain the ground
My heart is lead
I will make a sound

Cowards smile
For a little while
Our sacred land
Is in their hand

Sky cries rain
I feel no pain

They lie dead
Our colours stain the ground
My heart is lead
I will make a sound

Cowards smile
For a little while
Our sacred land
Is in their hand

Sky cries rain
I feel no pain

They lie dead
Our colors stain the ground
My heart is lead
I will make a sound

Here's my version of this classic Irish ballad. Mclhatton was an old fiddler who knew how to make an excellent Poitin, the ancestor of whiskey. When the valley where he lived filled with buyers of his fine liquor, many tried to capture him, but he knew how to hide well and was never caught. Enjoy my track and share! CIAO

MCLHATTON

I had left the pastorate in 1985 but many friends remained in the little town of St. Francis, Kansas.  One of them was a woman who found love again after the death of her spouse.  I composed this song for them and officiated their wedding and as far as I know, they lived happily ever after.  
Then came the wedding of my oldest daughter and she requested the song be done for her and Thor (yes, his real name;) That was 27 years ago.  
This past summer, I had suggested the song to Axel and after hearing my rough, 35 year old demo, he loved the song straight away, but wanted to change it up a bit.  The song I had written was done in a more devotional 4/4 meter, he wanted to bring to it the flavor of a Celtic dance.  Enter Mike Fox who gives the lyrics a definitive voice and excellent guitar to the backing track.  I loved the track art Axel had created because it resembled the wedding of my 2nd granddaughter Grace at the end of September, a lovely garden ceremony in Oklahoma City.  It resembles it right down to the kilt another son-in-law wore by request.  They didn't use the song as part of their ceremony, but I dedicate this new version to Grace and Ethan and wish them a lifetime of love, happiness and fond adventures together.
Thank you Axel and Mike for lavishing your talents on my songwriting efforts.  I am truly honored.  Hear more of their fabulous music creativity @soundcloud.com/axel-m-501052973, and @soundcloud.com/michael-fox-925325997

Gathered--Lyrics:
 What are we gathered here for, what have we come to see?
Two people who believe that a better life
Is lived together not separately.
Father we ask you blessing upon the union of these two,
That the vows they are both confessing
Will bind their hearts to each other and You.

Bridge:
And it's more than just "tying a knot" and it's more than just getting "hitched"
We're seeing two hearts being sewn together,
We're witnessing it stitch by stitch.
It's the miracle of seeing two become one,
Though the two are really not the same,
Like the paint and the canvas are separate until 
The Artist joins them in a beautiful frame.

Instrumental Interlude

Repeat Verse:

Two people who believe that a better life
Is lived together not separately.
Father we ask you blessing upon the union of these two,
That the vows they are both confessing
Will bind their hearts to each other and You.
Will bind their hearts to each other and You
Will bind their hearts to each other and You.
