Lyrics

Late in the evening
When I last talked to you
Angry words were spoken
Before the night was through

Didn’t know how it started
Thought that it might end
I don’t want to lose you now
You my closest you my closest friend

Do I dream
Wish I could switch scenes
To make-believe
A nightmare
Please wake me
Eyes open or closed
It’s reality

Will you still talk to me
Like you used to do
Would you still walk with me
Change past to new

Could you still hold me
In nights of cold
Might you still love me
As in days of as in days of old

Tonight the moon is blue
Senses long to touch & hold you
Tonight under the starless sky
Fear the worst above it we can rise

Tonight the breeze is warm
Warns me of a sudden storm
Tonight under clouds of grey
We can retrieve hold for a new day

It was dawn in the morning
When I called out your name
Hoping you would reply
There was no use to blame

Don’t know where it’s headed
Know of its past
Signing off right now
Hoping this can last

HER MIND GOES BACK IN TIME
TO A PLACE CALLED BULL MOUNTAIN
AS WINTERS FIRST  SNOW IS FALLIN'
IT'S ALMOST CHRISTMAS TIME

THE MOUNTAIN IS BEAUTIFUL 
AND OH WHAT A TIME THEY WILL HAVE
THE MEMORIES ARE WONDERFUL
NOTHING IS COMPLICATED

(CHORUS)
SHE DREAMS OF GOIN' BACK TO BULL MOUNTAIN
WHERE THEY LAUGHTED AND HAD A GREAT TIME
HER MAMA IS IN THE KITCHEN COOKIN'
THE GOOD TIMES ARE NOT FORGOTTEN

NO I-PHONES OR I-PADS BACK THEN
NO FACEBOOK POST TO WORRY ABOUT
THE GOOD TIMES WILL SOON BEGIN
AND NOBODY WILL BE LEFT OUT

KIDS ARE RUNNIN' AND PLAYIN'
AND HAVIN' A GOOD TIME
CAUSE CHRISTMAS TIME IS COMIN'
AND IT WILL SOON BE SHOWTIME

(REPEAT CHORUS)

Bull Mountain Christmas - Collab by Tony Harris and Riff Beach - Original

Now let me start with introductions
Call me the master of seduction
Every single thing I say they take it straight into production
Things that I be teaching can't be taught
Things that I be buying can't be bought
Because I go so hard and I flow so fast
I'll never drive a prius I love to waste gas
These streets got a lot of history
These streets got a lot of bits of me
Let me break it down so you can try to understand
The world is a corporation that will try to hold your hand
Let me take a second and enlighten your mind
Different people go to different places different times
But after people die I wonder where do they go
Why does everybody walk around like they know
These streets got a lot of hostility
These streets got a lot of profitability
Different things I used to do and different things I say

Have led me to the person I believe I am today
I apologize if I can seem a little scatter brained
People say I'm made to rap
But some say I'm insane
But thats besides my point
And other people doesn't matter
The most important thing
Is that my wax is made to shatter
These streets got a lot of history
These streets got a lot of bits of me
Now please don't get me wrong I don't intend to start a spark
But if that flame is lit don't let me see you after dark
Just to many people starting sentences with I Think
(I Think)
When educated people die in wars with an eye blink
Listen up I'm about to spit it best
There's people that we love
And then there's some we lay to rest
Either way gotta make bread everyday
Gotta get paid
Thats what the man said
Well fuck that
Go and murder the economy
Grab a politician
Tell the truth
It don't mean much to me
Because these streets got a lot of hostility
These streets got a lot of profitability
Every single person's on another trending topic
And we ain't supposed to follow if our country is out of rockets
But let me ask you something can two people climb a mountain
Or even throw a magic penny inside of a fountain
Make believe is what you call it and I'm not an alcohalic
Things I say that mean the most
In the future might we call it
Wisdom
Thats what I mean
It's the tree the fruit of life and everything ill ever need
Because these streets got a lot of history
These streets got a lot of bits of me
Every single word I say is just like orbital attraction
It's magnetic polarized it uses light infraction
Because things that I be seeking
Can't be sought
Fights that I be fighting
Can't be fought
Because we do so much and yet we know so little
The universe is big I'm small and earth is in the middle
But these streets got a lot of history
These streets got a lot of bits of me
Let me slow it down so that the weak can understand
Your mind is slowly drifting into quantum neverland
Quotes that I be quoting
Can't be quote
Notes that I be noting
You can't denote
Because every single thing i say
Means something
And everybody is trying to squeeze a little out of nothing
Because these streets got a lot of hostility
These streets got a lot of profitability
One more thing that I can add to that
Thats classified an algebraic heart attack
We've all got a choice
And it's all up to you
What we do on these streets
And it ain't nothing new
But the prices you purchase
And the places you ponder
Will leave you alone
In a field left to wander
If there is one thing that the streets teach us most
It's that life never gives us a second chance
Nope
Ill take my time and take all of my chances
Because the streets never sleep
And the devil romances your soul
Just breathe and let go
But you don't even know how to do that no more
But these streets got a lot of history
These streets got a lot of bits of me
And finally my friends I will fake a farewell
Because lyrics live on in the world like a cell
Chloroplast chloroplasm everybody knows
The sun is out the rain comes down and then new flowers grow
These streets got a lot of history
These streets got a lot of bits of me
These streets got a lot of hostility
These streets got a lot of profitability

These Streets

When I woke up it was like a Sunday

The sun was shining it was bright everywhere

I poured a drink

And I found my keys yeah

I hopped inside and I head out there

I found a place where I can fit easy

Try to squeeze my juice out of my day

I make a few dollars in my pocket

And late at night

I like to throw them away

I went out late last night for Sunday

But then I took the light rail and got high

I found a place where I can be easy

I found a place where I can come alive

So I went out pretty late last night

I went out

Last night

I slowly watched her try to entertain herself

Sitting in the corner

From across the room

I could feel myself swiftly move towards her

Hair smelled like perfume and her figure was juicy

I had a Peach Optimo said

Lets go chief

We hopped in my ride outfront and we rolled up

My windows is tinted

I dont give a Fuck

(Because in the streets it's cold)

And everybody got to get love quick

Because if they don't then they know they going to get love sick

I ain't got time

To waste on you

I ain't got time

To waste on you

I ain't got time

To waste on you

I ain't got time

To waste on you

So I went out pretty late last night

And I found out that I was right

That everywhere you go you find

Another you inside that light

So I went out pretty late last night

I Found a place where it was right

I found a drink that tasted nice

And I found out that you were right

And I went out pretty late last night

And I found out that I was right

I Went Out Last Night

Moonlight shines down upon your face

I can see it when I close my eyes just like it was yesterday

(You and I)

We almost made it out alive

Remember that time

When you and me we would have both called you mine

It's not for me to try to say that you can change it all

But let me tell you girl that you can be my waterfall

It's not important all the other rivers or the streams

Girl when I'm with you I'm living in ecstasy

(Ecstasy)

♪

Slow down girl your life can pass you by

In the blink of en eye you lost me baby now its gone

Don't fear I'm right around the corner waiting for ya

(Ill be waiting for ya)

You and I

We almost made it out alive

We almost made it out alive

It's not for me to try to say that you can change it all

But I can tell you girl that you can be my waterfall

It's not important all the other rivers or the streams

Girl when I'm with you I'm living in Ecstasy

City In The Rain

Listen, Please
Demo by Kate Stanton
VERSE:
I could tell you
what I've learned,
but I don't know much.
I could show you
But who am I
with 3 decades on Earth?
It's a vision
through a prism
but surely they'll change for us, right?
They're a phantom
in my prison
but there's one thing I'm sure of:

CHORUS:
They always show you who they are
They always show you who they are
So listen, pay attention, please
They always show you who they are
They always show you who they are
Listen, trust intuition, please
you can love them from afar.

VERSE:
I want to tell you
you're only human
so do the best you can
and do better
once you know better
That's all we can comprehend, right?
Most people are good
and they will help you understand

CHORUS:
Let them show you who they are
let them show you who they are
So listen, pay attention, please
and let them show you who they are
Let them show you who they are
Listen, trust intuition, please
they can help you from afar

BRIDGE:
Don't give away your trust
don't give away your time
don't give away your love
don't give away yourself, now
until you

FINAL CHORUS:
Let them show you who they are
let them show you who they are
So listen, pay attention, please
and let them show you who they are
Let them show you who they are
Listen, trust intuition, please
they can help you from afar

The Best of Goodbye   

Words by David L Graham
Music by Kate Stanton

VERSE 1:
Small town, Christmas parade, Santa waves
And there you are across the street
Only been ten days since we broke up
Didn’t take you long to find someone
PRE-CHORUS:
Cause I can see
Yes, there you are
CHORUS:
Guess you got the best of goodbye
And some of the best of my life
Don’t guess it’ll take too long
I guess this’ll help me move on
Yes, I’ll give it a try
wipe this tear from my eye
get my heart back in time
Guess you got the best of goodbye, 
goodbye
VERSE 2:
Can’t help hear it around in this town
How she came back here to see you
She had been texting you a long while
Couldn’t wait to see your sweet smile
PRE-CHORUS:
it was all true
Yes, there you are
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
Felt like a leap frog
You hopped off and on, on and off
hope you give her a diamond 
that she takes on and off, off and on 
On New Year’s Eve…. I’m glad you won’t be kissing me..but…
FINAL CHORUS

Lyrics:
'I'll Take a Train'
© 2022 by Nadia Cripps

I'll take a train, it will be fast
Getting me into the station I need,
Maybe over my pain at last
Escaping a now, a here, at record speed

I'll take a train, it will change my reality
New scenery, different people, other views
Should help me find another mentality
Move me away from this constant blues

The wheels of the train are distractingly loud
I'm trying to think, not sure what about
I'm still gloomy, perhaps I need acting out
It wouldn't be me, I know this without a doubt

My journey is long, I'm not sure it will help much
I can't run from myself even if the running is done by a train
The aching thoughts have their grip, their hard touch
I should have just stayed home with my intense pain

Nearly there, I'll throw away all my doubts
Far from where I came from,
I wouldn't confirm my whereabouts
I get off the train. Here I come...

I'll Take A Train By Nadia Cripps Feat. Kate Stanton

Lyrics:    

Another Day

Another reed bending still, another tie of the will
Another stolen day we borrow
Another chance to lift the sorrow

Another day to begin, another share in the sin
Another moment to be hollow
You’ll never lead, I’ll never follow

Chorus:
I keep buying the illusion, when we say that it means more
But it causes such confusion, when we say nothing at all
Don't waste time.... Don't waste time!...

Do you reach for my touch? Has the night been too much?
Has polite masked the truth, past the welcome of my use?

Chorus:
You may not feel the same, I don’t hold you to blame
But there's an ache for you still, like that reed to the will

Will you ever fight for me…
Or leave me stranded in your sea?
A perfect love from perfect seed
Born from a place the angels keep...

Don’t waste time,
Another day passes by

Another Day

Whispers
Lyrics by Geoff Matthews
Music by Kate Stanton

You say you want me
And not to worry
Crazy woman
Yes I love you.

I know you’re shifty
From days in High School
You won me over
Both know that’s true..

I only had eyes for you

But whispers, I hear whispers
On my pillow, in my ear
At the Walmart, doing laundry
I cannot allay my fears
For through the years
I’ve heard whispers

You say you need me
And I believe so
But windward branches
Will always bend

A soft scirocco
And you won’t tarry
That’s why, in time..
I think you’ll go..

We both know that’s so

Those whispers, yes those whispers
On my doorstep, in the rain
Heart so empty, head so dizzy
Same old feelings come again
Through the years
I’ve heard whispers

I’ve heard whispers
I’ve heard whispers..
I still hear whispers

Whispers (Feat. Geoff Matthews)

Targets
lyrics & music by Kate Stanton
guitar by Garrett Kirby

You're like a diamond
from pressure and heat
they'll think they crushed you
like grapes under feet
so fine wine they will drink
keep shooting at your targets
cuz we'll dodge them...

I see you child.
Blossoming through the concrete. Open your window.

Your spark was dancing 
light on the rain
puddles that glisten 
christened in the pain
we don't sulk in defeat
there's beauty in the ashes
and we'll still love them.

I see you mother.
I see you sister.
I see you brother.
I see you father,
see you child.
Oh, I see you child.

You're like a diamond
from pressure and heat
they'll think they crushed you
like grapes under feet
so fine wine they will drink
keep shooting at your targets
cuz we'll dodge them...

Targets (feat. Garrett Kirby)

Powderhorn park, May 2020, 38th street, I need a pack of cigarettes
Walking down the street, heading to my car, parked on the sidewalk
Hey! You there!
What did I do wrong? I don’t understand, hey! What’s happening
What did I do wrong? I don’t understand, I’ve gotta get back to my family, yeah!

I see no colors, I only see brothers, gathering around
Come and get me baby!
I see no colors, I only see brothers, I’m color blind!
I’m color blind!

See me walking down the street, 
Turns complicated, well it shouldn’t be, I just went out to have a walk
Hey mister officer, just leave me alone! 
I’m a simple citizen, no matter the color of my skin
I see you coming down, walking over me, what did I do wrong, I can’t breathe!
I see you coming on, you wait after me, leave me alone, I’m dying!

I see no colors, I only see brothers, gathering around
Come and get me baby!
I see no colors, I only see brothers, I’m color blind!
I’m color blind!

I see no colors, I only see brothers, gathering around
Come and get me baby!
I see no colors, I only see brothers, I’m color blind!
I’m color blind!

Back Off, Cupid  

I should have never stopped in here tonight
I should have known you’d be here and why
You’d think I’d know better than what I do
But the blue neon and tequila’s cut you loose

Before you start it...you better stop
Cause my heart’s as hard as a rock

So, Back off Cupid
Let me go home
I’ve had too many shots
Just need to be alone
So, Back off Cupid
Love ain’t what I need tonight

That last time isn’t something I wanna repeat 
(You’ve slung your arrows)
For a minute I thought your concern was sweet
(Round left and right)
I thought for a while your romantic gestures were cool
(Half the bar here)
But I know now all your clients must be fools
(Wants to change my life)

CHORUS

So, Back off Cupid
Love ain’t what I need tonight

Back Off, Cupid (Feat. lyrics by McTown Music)

I Sat Down By The River

I sat down by the river
On a - somewhat - sunny day
I watched the golden leaves
As they floated away

I sat down by the river
On that autumn day
I looked at the city behind me
It had nothing more to say

I sat down by the river
With a dream to go away
Leaving life as I knew it
Knowing bloody well that I would stay

Give me a kiss
Give me a smile
A moment of love
In that oldfashion style

I sat down by the river
On that fateful day
And for every choice I ever made
There was a price to pay

When I sat down by the river
A pretty flower spoke to me
I didn't know the language
So the message was a mystery

I sat down by the river
There were birds in the sky
I wonder when life begins
As the years are passing by

Give me a kiss
Give me a smile
A moment of love
In that oldfashion style

I Sat Down By The River [an original song]

Drowsy

Together Forever
Lyrics by John Nicholson
Music by Kate Stanton

Colored boats drift on by
Mountains standing proud and high
He's dressed like winter's passed him by
But tomorrow's promise is not a lie

And he gets you to see his ways
Like a scene from those old Shakespeare plays
You’ve now seen what he holds inside
Crashing in like a high spring tide

And you always want to be with him
Until your eyes are old and dim
You want to walk this path together
Step by step onwards forever

And you keep on checking in on him
As stones on the water skim
Seen from the lookout on the hill 
Above the water dark and still

And you always thought you knew the path
Coz he knew when to frown and when to laugh
His looks are beyond compare
But that he knows just isn’t fair 

And you always want to be with him
Until your eyes are old and dim
You want to walk this path together
Step by step onwards forever

But dawn appears on faint horizons
Painting pictures on the skyline
His smile his look his sweet suggestions
Gives answers to all your questions

There seems to me, more tea in China
And really there is nothing finer
Given with his God's grace
the sun shining on his face

And you always want to be with him
Until your eyes are old and dim
You want to walk this path together
Step by step onwards forever

Together Forever (feat lyrics by John Nicholson)

Pearl Diver by Doug Haberman
music by Kate Stanton

We meet each other in a port
Where hope fades to despair
Long ago the foghorn used to
Jolt the salty air
The harbor was so busy then
Big vessels lined the shore
But no one’s ship comes in
Anymore
Our love is like an old shipwreck
Or dry bones of a whale
Though both know it won’t make it
We dream love can prevail
(Chorus)
We’re always on the verge
Never pass the final test
I’m a pearl diver
And you... can’t hold your breath
Desire comes and fills our sails
Like music for the damned
But the waves of time will dash
Our castle in the sand
(Chorus)
We’re always on the verge
Never pass the final test
I’m a pearl diver
And you... can’t hold your breath
I’m a pearl diver
And you... can’t hold your breath
(Bridge)
Seagulls squawk and Pollock the pavement
Today, the ocean’s barely audible
The things love does, love does,
Love does to my heart
Hurt more than I thought
Was possible
(Chorus)
We’re always on the verge
Never pass the final test
I’m a pearl diver
And you... can’t hold your breath

Pearl Diver (feat. lyrics by Doug Haberman)

When the Summer is Over track with Keys. I wrote this song mainly because I don’t like transitioning out of summer. It is my favorite season of the year and I am always so sad when it ends. I also am looking back to my first boyfriend who was quite romantic. Back to simpler times and my first true love.

When the Summer is Over with keys

Pigs of Legion

This is a song i wrote for my next album[Tales of generation x]
it is about class division how the rich and the poor have to share the same citys and the same planet  how we conquer and divide.
Its also a song about our fears and anxietys about love and how we interact with other humans.
We make our own desires so mind the gaps of history us wolfs we hunt alone
keep calm and carry on -jim sept 2022

Lyrics by Liz Petty
Music by Kate Stanton

V1 
a tender heart 
under thin skin 
allows 
fragile love 
to unfold 
to begin 

like before 
it could 
falter 
and end 

it could 
hurt deep… 
hurt deep 
within 

C 
how can 
I know 
and believe… 

that someone 
like you 
could love 
someone 
like me? 

how can 
I trust 
the love 
I’m in? 

how can 
I know 
what you 
intend? 

V2 
a growing flame 
between friends 
allows 
deeper love 
to evolve 
to sink in 

like before 
it could 
happen 
again 

it could 
blossom… 
blossom 
within 

C 
how can 
I know 
and believe… 

that someone 
like you 
could love 
someone 
like me? 

how can 
I trust 
the love 
I’m in? 

how can 
I know 
what you 
intend? 

B 
I’m timid 
I’m afraid 
sometimes 
I want to 
run away 

I want to 
feel safe 

I’m wishful 
I’m enthralled 
sometimes 
I want to 
love strong 

I want to 
have it all 

how can 
I know? 
oh … 
how can 
I know?

C 
how can 
I know 
and believe 
that someone 
like you 
could love 
someone 
like me? 

how can 
I trust 
the love 
I’m in? 

how can 
I know 
what you 
intend?

Lyrics by David L. Graham of McTown Music

Pinocchio
V1:
He don't understand the why
Lies are what he does
Doesn't know what's wrong or right
Just hangs onto what he wants

And I am his her
I've spoken all the words
How could I
Leave him in the lurch

CH:
Didn't want to see me go
When he didn't mean it to hurt
How can lies hurt me so
Guess he's never seen Pinocchio
Didn't want to see me go
When he didn't mean it to hurt
How can lies hurt me so
Guess he's never heard of Pinocchio

V2:
He don't understand my pain
Been this way his whole life
Always wants it his way
Brings the darkness to light

And I am his her
I've spoken all the words
How could I
Leave him in the lurch

Chorus

BR:
I'm walking away now, but he can't believe
That I could give up on promises and leave
But he doesn't remember his promises to me
Guess he's never seen Pinocchio

I’m basking in Nothingness
I’m pushing through time and space
Not sure where I’m going
Not sure of my place
Such self importance
It’s merely contrived
One day we‘ll wake up
Wondering how we survived
With love in my heart
And a most confused mind
It tears me apart
To feel so unkind
So steady my path, Lord
Tame all my dreams
Show me the way 
To untwist my schemes
May I become better
In all I pursue
For I mean no harm
I simply love you

Lyrics:
The Fog 

Is this me?
What’s it mean?
That I’m floating?

When I’m floating…

Living light and warmth
In your arms I can feel
My cares disappear
I can see in your eyes
A sincerity that I’ve only
imagined in this life

I feel helpless
Inside the waves
Of pain, they
Come billowing down
Billowing down, billowing down
I am minuscule in a daze
Unfazed
And it’s weighing me down
Weighing me down
Weighing me down

And I know it’s just the mention
Of perceived fog
But I need redemption
Cuz I know if my intentions checked
out they’d be wrong

I feel helpless
Inside the waves
Of pain
Come billowing down
Billowing down, billowing down
I am minuscule in a daze
Unfazed
And it’s weighing me down
Weighing me down
Weighing me down

Is this me?
What’s it mean?

I can see in your eyes
A sincerity that I’ve only
Imagined in this life

Though I know it’s just the mention 
Of perceived fog.

The Fog (Feat. production by 12 Below)

With Love for My Family and our amazing Young Adult Children.....May their Road continue to offer them a wondrous Journey through Life, filled with love, good health, adventure, and joy. This Tune re-created in my own way, featuring a favorite song from the Genius Vault of Yusuf Cat Stevens. Intended with all due respect in EcoustaTronic - a cleaner-Electric and Acoustic variation of AcoustaTronic Production - via RiffWerx Records in My Little Home Recording Workshop. All instruments, vocals, production by Riff Beach.
On The Road To Find Out - Yusuf Cat Stevens
Well, I left my happy home, to see what I could find out
I left my Folk and Friends with the aim to clear my mind out
Well, I hit the rowdy road, and many kinds I met there
And many stories told me on the way to get there 
(Chorus)
So, on and on I go, the seconds tick the time out 
So, much left to know, and I'm on the road to find out
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh (throughout)
But in the end I'll know, but on the way I wonder
Through descending snow, and through the frost and thunder
Well, I listen to the wind come howl, telling me I have to hurry
I listen to the robin's song, saying not to worry
(Chorus…..and then instrumental)
Well I found myself alone, hoping someone would miss me
Thinking about my home and the last woman to kiss me
Well sometimes you have to moan, when nothing seems to suit ya’
But nevertheless you know, you're locked towards the future
And I found my head one day, when I wasn't even trying
And here I have to say, ‘cause there is no use in lying
Yes the answer lies within, so why not take a look now?
Kick out the devil’s sin…..Pickup, pickup a good book now
Yes the answer lies within, so why not take a look now?
Kick out the devil’s sin……Pickup, pickup the good book now
(Slower) Yes the an-swer lies with-in, so why not take a look now
Kick out the devil’s sin……Pickup, pickup The Good Book now

I Want Love.

Splinter 
lyrics by McTown 
music by Kate & Gm7 

VERSE 1 
I'm just a splinter on the family tree 
Daddy heard I was coming 
So he had to leave 
They say he headed south for some kinda job 
And I guess he stayed for something 
But who cares? 
I'm not God. 

CHORUS 
yea, mama lasted as long as granny'd let her 
Then the state said they could do it better 
Put me in a home where I wouldn't be alone 
And God knows...I wasn't 
God knows I wasn't alone 
God knows....God knows 

VERSE 2 
I was a learner in the family ways 
Learned to fake behaving 
Devil knows I prayed 
I skipped school easy but learned all my lessons 
Preacher tried to save me 
But said God 
had a Son 

CHORUS 
yea, mama lasted as long as granny'd let her 
Then the state said they could do it better 
Put me in a home where I wouldn't be alone 
And God knows...I wasn't 
God knows I wasn't alone 
God knows....God knows 

BRIDGE 
Well, I learned about love and about hate 
Forgiveness and hope 
Some of that had to wait 
I'm just a splinter, a splinter 

OUTRO 
I'm just a splinter on the family tree 
but God knows 
God knows....God knows

Splinter (Feat. Gm7 and McTown)

Artists are warriors⚔️of a sort—we feel fear trying to control us yet we continue to create & slay our demons. Inspired by Joan of Arc, The Legend of Zelda, & a personal hero’s journey. I’m excited to share my next #collab! “Do it Anyway” with German-American prog-rockers 12 Below!

Written by Kate Stanton
Arranged and Produced by 12 Below

Look around you
foreign land
a language you don't understand
all alone
take a deep breath
feel it in your soul
you know (you know)
that you know
so
let's take a little journey 
inside ourselves

Do you think the hero feels the same?
but they go and do it anyway.
Do you think the coward feels the same?
much like the hero
does it anyway
just do it anyway

Beneath the cave 
there lies a tool
it's round yet taut
too sharp for fools
focused on the need to finish
wield your weapon low
diminish. Heal.
The threat's got no hold on you
take what you can from her land
she is enough and knows it now
twists the fabric
snaps back in time
Let's take a little journey
outside ourselves

Do you think the hero feels the same?
but they go and do it anyway.
do you think the coward feels the same?
much like the hero
does it anyway
just do it anyway

Do it anyway
Do it anyway...

Do you think the hero feels the same?
but they go and do it anyway.
do you think the coward feels the same?
much like the hero
does it anyway
just do it anyway...

My friend, indie songwriter/lyricist Edwin H. Balder, sent me these lyrics as a Christmas gift late last year. He encouraged me as I was recovering from a major health blow & surgery. Now it is Ed's turn. He's having some health struggles yet continues to write. We want to encourage him. 12 Below and I hoped to surprise him with music set to his lyrics. 

Ed, we are all rooting for you--prayers, positive vibes, and healing music your way!! Thank you for inspiring so many of us. @edwin-balder

The Rose (Darker)

Something about Autumn-the crisp cooling weather-skies seems clearer--shedding leaves just before the cold winter--the crops have all been harvested-- for me, it seems a little  slower and more  peaceful--natural process of nature and life--my mind feel more at ease--my body feels more relax--my favorite time of year

Fall (Favorite Time Of Year)

The love of my life. The best 10 years 14 days we shared together.( Caroline Jean Winchester ) she was 50 years old. I think about her every day . She was the strongest person I ever knew. I miss her laugh the most. It came so easy for her. A tribute to her  written by myself in 2017.
LYRICS
IF I SIT ON THE EDGE OF THE WORLD WILL I FALL INTO OUTER SPACE
OR WILL I HEAR YOUR SOOTHING VOICE TELLING ME I'LL LEAD YOU HERE
OR WILL I SPIN WAY OUT OF CONTROL DOWNWARD SPIRAL
TO A DEEP BLACK HOLE. AND IF I TRY TO REACH OUT TO YOU
WILL THIS DREAM TONIGHT COME TRUE

YOU'LL FOREVER LIVE DEEP INSIDE MY HEART
THROUGH UPS AND DOWNS AND BRAND NEW STARTS
THE WORLD TURNS  THE SEASONS WILL CHANGE
IT'S NOT THE SAME IT'S NOT THE SAME

YOU USE TO SAY YOU'D FIND YOUR WAY 
TO KEEP ON LIVING BEYOND THE GRAVE
AND HELP ME THROUGH ALL THE PAIN  THERE'S STILL PAIN
SO MUCH PAIN... ITS BEEN EIGHT LONG YEARS SEEMS LIKE YESTERDAY
TIME RAN OUT YOU COULDN'T BE SAVED 
THE DAY YOU DIED THE LIGHTS WENT DARK 
MY SPIRIT DIED AND MY SOUL CRIED OUT

YOU USE TO SAY YOU'D FIND YOUR WAY TO KEEP ON LIVING BEYOND THE GRAVE AND HELP ME THROUGH ALL THE PAIN BUT THERE'S STILL PAIN SO MUCH PAIN.,,,,,,

Paradush - No Meio Do Mundo

AS MY MIND DRIFTS BACK IN TIME
I GO BACK TO BULL MOUNTAIN BRIDGE
WHERE THE BLACK TOP ENDED
AND THE DIRT ROAD STARTED
A PLACE WHERE THE BOYS HUNG OUT

CHORUS
I WISH I COULD GO BACK TO BULL MOUNTAIN BRIDGE
WHERE WE LAUGHTED AND HAD A GREAT TIME
NO CELL PHONES OR LAP TOPS
ON BULL MOUNTAIN BRIDGE
JUST JESSE PLAYING HIS FLAT TOP GUITAR
I MISS THOSE LAZY SUMMER DAYS
ON BULL MOUNTAIN BRIDGE

IT WAS THERE I HAD MY FIRST RACE
WITH GENE AUTRY TAYLOR
IN MY DADDY'S PICK UP TRUCK
WHAT HAPPENED AT THE BRIDGE 
STAYED AT THE BRIDGE
THOSE WERE THE GOOD OLD DAYS
ON BULL MOUNTAIN BRIDGE

REPEAT CHORUS (2 TIMES)

JUST JESSE PLAYING HIS FLAT TOP GUITAR
I MISS THOSE SUMMER DAYS
ON BULL MOUNTAIN BRIDGE

The Mountains of Mourne (traditional)

Ah, nostalgia.  Maybe the older we get, the more we keep longing for days of our past.  Just some sweet memories of my childhood days living as share-croppers in the Louisiana Delta near the Mississippi River.
