This is great.. wonderl vocals and guitar

I love how this was an old song from 30 years ago and you resurrected it. I can relate. Been going back and listening to songs I wrote way back when( on cassette tapes) and trying to relearn them. It’s almost like they were written by someone else.

for Abigail Marjorie Lockhart

Well I dont know why you looked at me that way
Im just an old man with not much going on
Nothing left to give no real reason to live
Yet you fell into my arms

I whispered youre beautiful and you looked at me then smiled
said my worlds a better place with you in it
please stay here with me for a while
Dont go
Stay stay stay

Abby please dont go
Dont you go

The touch of your hand made me understand
that theres life in the old dog yet
Not much I admit but more than I thought
so I thank you so much for the gift

I whispered youre beautiful and you looked
at me in the way that you do
Said youll make a wonderful doctor
if you only just see it on through

Dont go
Stay stay stay stay stay

Abby please dont go
Dont you go
Abby dont go
Please dont go

I love to dream cause
when I close my eyes to dream
the impossible becomes the reallity

life in the old dog yet

Lydia Has Seven Flats

Only a love song. Not more, not less.
A very easy song, very easy to play, very easy to sing, perhaps a song to sing along? We composed this music, what could you do with this? It developped into a love song, what else could this music be? We usually don't write ordinary love songs, but why not occasionally...

Time With You Began

Kevin Song
JTSunrise - 1993 - similar Seattle version from then played at Lake Union Pub many times

My friend wears a steel ring
And a yellow man sits in her pocket
I love her dirty hair 
As it clings to her face, she sings

Her vanilla scent always lingers 
When I leave her in the mornings
And I’ve got a new word she says
“Swank” she says, and she sings 

It’s good to see you 
It’s good to see you, oh
It’s good to see you
In my home playing this Kevin song again 

We stand in the forest now
With our eyes closed without breathing 
Can we stop time this way
I think to myself and this day stays 

It’s good to see you 
It’s good to see you, oh
It’s good to see you
In my bathrobe playing the Kevin song again

This 90s song written about a best friend special girl who would stay with me a few weeks at a time when she was in town on modeling jobs. She kept her cigarettes in a plastic purse she got in Japan shaped like a yellow cartoon guy by the name of “Mr Friendly”. She used a thick flannel shirt as a jacket and in the front shirt pocket was the yellow man. She would sing the song “Kevin” by the band Th' Faith Healers UK all the time and play their album Imaginary Friend every time we got together from a CD case she traveled with. She wore a wide shiny stainless steel ring on her left thumb - I put it there a decade earlier when we were in high school in rural Illinois. I made it from a piece of coiled spring steel in high school shop. I bet it’s still there. During the day I had to work when she was in town on her modeling jobs. She usually had a few jobs to bring her in, and when she was done - parties were it with her at the Pub. While I was at work she would hang out with her other Seattle friend Matt of SomeGarden who picked her up in front of my apartment in an extra fancy BMW. I never listened to them since. I hope Chris Cornell is doing ok, haven’t seen him in a while 

Seattle Lake Union Pub Lore:

The Fire Pole: Band flyers and other posters in those days covered the wood utility poles along Seattle streets and sidewalks. There were often a few inches deep of posters stapled on top of posters around each utility pole in the city. The pole in front of the Seattle Lake Union Pub was famous being an exceptionally fat pole with multiple layers of stapled upon stapled band flyers, and infamous for going up in flames a few times. Cops would show up when the pole got lit, peoples in the Pub knew it when the pole got lit was time to split because the cops would be there soon

The Legend of The Swill: Beer there was cheap, sometimes 3 dollars for a pitcher and cans of Schmidt (animal beer) was a buck or so, but for Pub patrons even cheaper was even better. When the drain tray under the beer taps was full, bartender Elise Sauer (vocalist for deathmetal band Evaders) would pour it into a cup and put it on the bar and sing with her amazing voice “Swill” and this would result in a reflex response of the crowd to see who could get it first. I remember Dizzy Lee Roth and Mark Pierce of ZEKE fighting over the swill

7 things that reportedly happened at the Lake Union Pub:
1. Members of the punk band The Mentors were supposedly arrested for indecent exposure after performing a sexually explicit show at the Lake Union Pub in the 1980s
2. Legendary musician Iggy Pop is rumored to have once performed a spontaneous show at the Pub, climbing on top of the bar and throwing drinks at the crowd
3. The ceiling would drip with sweat and the carpet was a horrific mat of filth
4. A Tacoma band called My Name was supposedly arrested for using fireworks inside 
5. The pub was written about and described in many books and movies of the Seattle gunge era
6. The pub's Monday open mic nights led to unpredictable and surprising performances including punk musicians playing bluegrass and being quite good
7. Bartender Elise once chased a guy out of the bar and down the street with a baseball bat after he said something highly offensive to her

Lyrics:
Won’t you leave the light on
Never could spy on
Drawn on a lake like with 
A charcoal crayon

Old men rely on 
Days of bygone
Memories traced
to the war in Saigon

Never gonna raise him
Better you forgave him
Shaving with a razor 
From the Barber’s favor

Maybe you could save him
If you forgave him
Betting on red but it’s looking pretty grim

Callin on Eliza
You know she relies on
Petty little gossip
From the corner store

A shoulder to cry on
Simping for the line on
Better get it straight if you’re wanting more. 
Wanting More 

Knowing Eliza
does despise him
Holding her hand when the sun has set

He listens real good
But she thinks he’s a fool
Believing that this is all he’ll get

She’s staying in the friend zone
She’s lovin Lorenzo
Never gonna have that special glow
She’s staying in the friend zone
She’s lovin Lorenzo
Never gonna have that special glow


Won’t you leave the light on
Never could spy on
Drawn on a lake like with 
A charcoal crayon

Old men rely on 
Days of bygone
Memories traced
to the war in Saigon

Never gonna raise him
Better you forgave him
Shaving with a razor 
From the Barber’s favor

Maybe you could save him
If you forgave him
Betting on red but it’s looking pretty grim

Callin on Eliza
You know she relies on
Petty little gossip
From the corner store

A shoulder to cry on
Simping for the line on
Better get it straight if you’re wanting more. 
Wanting More 
 
Callin on Eliza
You know she relies on
Petty little gossip
From the corner store

A shoulder to cry on
Simping for the line on
Better get it straight if you’re wanting more. 
 

Knowing Eliza
does despise him
Holding her hand when the sun has set

He listens real good
But she thinks he’s a fool
Believing that this is all he’ll get

She’s staying in the friend zone
She’s lovin Lorenzo
She’s staying in the friend zone
She’s lovin Lorenzo

[LYRICS]
She comes like the rain					
She comes like a Sunday morning					
She comes like the breeze					
Fresh(es) out a song in my mind					
					
I know it's a dream					
A dream that will soon be awaken					
Like a haunting memory					
I see her face in everything I do					
 					
CHORUS 1					
Nevertheless, with no regrets					
Falling for her deep inside					
Feelings I try to hide, keep on overflowing					
Ha… However, 					
Though something holds us back					
It's hard for me to forget	the tender moments that we have had					

Pastel shades of light					
Turn the page and it's all empty					
Torn between pleasure & pain					
Inside the passions we refrained					
 					
CHORUS 2					
Lingering aimlessly, fate is playing tricks on me					
If that's the way God plans to be					
No one knows where it's leading					
However,  can't get you out of my mind					
Don't you know that every time I close my eyes					
You're back again……..					
					
Instrumental & repeat Chorus 1

Nevertheless

I would imagine the life of a Werewolf must be tough, relying on a full moon to have the strength to go out and get a good meal. I had no idea what this song was about until I finished it. Second tune with a vocal. I hope you enjoy it.

I don’t buy anything, process anything, or sell anything- i don’t process anything sold or bought or processed, or sell anything to be bought or processed or sold

JTSunrise, like a cryptic melody echoing through the mist, A silhouette against the dawn, veiled in an enigma’s twist. Their chords weave secrets, harmonies untold, In the dim-lit corners of the soul, they unfold

Is it the owl reflection of their eyes, the echo of forgotten lullabies? JT strums the strings of mystery, A troubadour in the shadows, lost in history

Their lyrics dance on the edge of dreams, Whispers of forgotten realms and moonlit streams. Enigmatic, they wander through star-kissed nights, A minstrel of the cosmos, chasing celestial light

Perhaps they’re a riddle wrapped in stardust, A cosmic wanderer, both mortal and just. JTSunrise, elusive as the morning mist, Their music lingers, leaving hearts gently kissed

**In the gentle strumming of strings and the raw authenticity of JTSunrise’s compositions, you’ll find echoes of love, nostalgia, and the human experience**
