Moment /Heart Sutra

Friday night on a Cabo cruise
The masks are down and the Mescal’s so smooth
Last night you were shaping light
Dancing till we all took flight

Now the fog is rolling in
And they won’t play that song no more
The lighthouse has grown dim
As the sole survivor crashes on your shore
Such allure.
 
Gonna give it
Gonna give it up now
Gonna give it
Gonna give it up now (fade, day by day)

Well you take what’s given and you leave the rest
All the caballeros can see that you’ve been blessed
With the best
Yeah this is the moment, this is the night
A kiss to remember
For the rest of your life

Locked down neath a thunder moon
Summer leaving all too soon
Posting selfies, leaving clues
“Otra vez!” - and put on your dancing shoes

Gonna live it
Gonna live it up now 
Gonna live it
Gonna live it up now (fade, day by day)

Kickin' up some dust with this new demo of a song I wrote with Denis Loiseau. Produced at Dog Ear Studio in Nashville, with vocals by Adam Cunningham.

Stomping Grounds (Adam Cunningham vocals)

Host Ron Olesko is joined by the Levins in the WFDU-FM studio.  Julia and Ira Levin are a contemporary folk duo offering harmony-driven acoustic music that is warm and uplifting without skating over the complexities of life.   The Levins perform live in the studio, sharing new songs and selections from their previous recordings.

WFDU-FM's TRADITIONS

The Levins on WFDU-FM's TRADITIONS - 5-7-2017

For false Kings and Queens the seduction of power, money and fame corrupt the soul and degrade the "kingdom" when those who occupy the throne have not forged their character in the service of those powerful archetypes.

Loaves and Fishes

A retro rock track in the style of the Beatles, Elvis, Ricky Nelson and other classic artists.

Baby Come On
©Jeff Wessman

First time I saw you coming home after school
All dressed up in your little dress of blue, yeah
with your notebooks under your arm
a girl with natural charm
Baby come on!

Living in this world it's so hard to find what's true
Nobody told me but I think I got a clue
When you call me on the phone
And say that no one's home
Baby Come on!

Nobody loves you quite the way I do, yeah
They say love is old but you make it feel brand new, yeah
So pull down the window shade
You know what the neighbors say
Baby Come On!

You know I love it when you tell me what to do, yeah
Then it's time to leave and there's nothin' we can do
With your records all over the floor
Your mom bangin' on your door
Baby Come on!

Baby come on
Baby come on
Baby come on
Baby come on!

Baby Come On

dramatic tension cue with piano and orchestral elements create a mood of heroic resolve in the face of danger and uncertainty. Staccato rhythms provide a sense of urgency and determination. Would work well in scenes of rescue, triage, hospital or medical emergency where time is of the essence, or in montage scenes of movement or scientific discovery.
