Hey Ken man, love the beat and the whole rhythm section on this. Captivating, complex composition, too. Catchy vocal melodies and thrilling harmonies here, too. Really impressive work here, brother man. Way to go here!

You always provide excellent exposition on your tracks Ken, great story and wonderful song. I think you achieved the goal set forth by your bassist John. The litany of events is evoked nicely with your lyrics - with a jaunty and memorable melody to boot. Just a quick question Ken: Do you ever sleep? You’re one prolific 'son-of-a-gun'. Keep creating! Your grandfather's quote is a true recipe for enjoying one's life - appreciate every moment of it!

ha never had similar experiences, living them through your song is good for me lol

Great alt-rock - a bit quirky and duo vocal cuts through

Awesome rock with a punk attitude, catchy chorus and great melody and feel!

Really cool song Ken! What a trip that must have been! Great job!

That was a good read to the story that inspired this Ken! Great work and excellent songwriting skills as always

Sounds like one hell of a trip Ken!  Glad you were able to make this banger of a tune out of it, great original song!

Lyrics:

Spending my Time
Thinking of You
I'm on a High
Are you Feeling it too
On Cloud9
Cloud9
On Cloud9

Wind in the Trees
Sun on the Sea
My Island is Here
Where I can be Free
On Cloud9
Cloud9
On Cloud9

Spending my Time
Thinking of You
I'm on a High
Will you come with me to
Cloud9
Cloud9
To Cloud9

With me to Cloud9....

Shifting Visions( new mix)

Chorus
Got a few concepts 
Life serves a purpose
Let’s not shift our focus
My pockets have no surplus (X2)

Left lane right lane
No choice, when it’s all the same
Same game, no picnic 
Systems broke, they won’t fix it
Life is work, what shift is this
Just take up your lane
And mind your own business
No outlet, just gridlock and lockstep 
An influx of Notifications to obligations, not met
Forced to live your pain, then accept your death
Will anyone listen, about the changing climate 
No one hears a silence threats 
Two steps back, why the hell is that
Never really had my footing, and that’s a fact
If it’s established that’s a good thing
But how do we get there from the very beginning

Chorus
Got a few concepts 
Life serves a purpose
Let’s not shift our focus
My pockets have no surplus

Living for a payday, just ain’t good business
It don’t mean wealth or riches
Equal time or payment
That one percent is ruthless, 
Gatekeepers to key places
Holding all the leverage
Been this way for ages
Maintaining just how things are
So no one cannot change it
A never ending circle of henchmen, different faces
political power to start wars
If things ——don’t go their way
That a constant state of play
Armed with well aimed projectile
That can, ruin your whole day
Make no waves, make no mistake,
We’re all in a state of play

Chorus
Got a few concepts 
Life serves a purpose
Let’s not shift our focus
My pockets have no surplus

Got A Few Concepts

La Cueca… cool Chilean beat! Inspired by Los Jaivas… expat Chilean band that moved to Paris, France during the Allende regime… I lived in Santiago, Chile from 11-13…beautiful country, beautiful people! … just moving this back from my K2 and the Four page! My favorite album by Los Jaivas is @ Aconcagua, circa 1982! Hope you dig this ( again, ha!)😎

A song I wrote in 2020, the best year ever, ha! I was thinking about temporary reality vs. eternity …thinking about judgement vs. forgiveness… thinking about right and wrong, thinking about being born again vs, being dead to the things of God … thinking about what awaits us all! … thinking about toeing the line in the status quo,vs. trusting and living in a liberated fashion! It’s the Good news in a concise lyric.. Jesus Christ, savior.., Jesus Christ, Lord!!.., one must understand the @ bad news, before they can grasp the @ good news! … feel free to disagree… I am not the best @ follower, but I do follow!!! Acts 4:12 states it bluntly, but eloquently!!!  I have no @ sympathy for the devil!🙏🙏🙏 Romans 9 is also a good one!!!

E-Winter Night Blues

Some say I can’t or shouldn’t sing.. some don’t like my voice ( me, ha!🤩) - some say @ you do you… it’s not about alcohol…it’s about something far greater than all of us, combined! Hope you dig my stripped down version! I have the full band version on here, somewhere down that crazy river!! 😎

Southern Cross-CS&N Cover

This is a song from 2021… My former bassist, John Taminski, challenged me to write lyrics about our band’s trip to Paris, France in 1996.., I wrote about our first tumultuous night.. I broke up with my then girlfriend, had to change rooms to stay with John , who fell asleep with a bottle of Heineken in his hand, in the Water Closet!🤣🤣🤣.., I thought he had died!..; just a travelogue of a fun, but also @ eventful trip! An older coworker, Mary, had been an Au paire, there in younger years.. her buddy Alex, from Belgium, they helped us navigate being @ the @ ugly Americans( I swear, we had only rock n Roll shoes… no white tennis shoes)!!!🤣🤣🤣😎 John’s nickname is Toe!!!😇
