Listen, Please

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

The Best Of Goodbye (Feat. David L. Graham)

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)

Lyrics by David L. Graham
Music by Kate Stanton

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)

Method: Voice, arpeggiator, pedals, effects.
Narration: A nod to Terence McKenna.

Lyrics / copyright jo richter:

(The story:)
A child, he strolled into the forbidden garden and listened to its floral, fungal, lophophoral and ayahuascan inhabitants. To humans, he talked about what he had gathered in these excursions. It's hardly ever the plants who forbid entry, he said, the flaming-sword angel was installed only by human grandiosity. It's not all paradise either, he continued, you'd better learn to tiptoe around some areas. He was certain that the current disconnect made us less than we originally were. Sadly, the highway of reason features no roundabouts or off-ramps, leads to uninhabitable wastelands. He remained optimistic for he saw our toy highways only as fancy ornaments in a garden far larger than human comprehension. Once play-time is up, we will re-emerge in the real.

(The poem:)
this one talks through his nostrils
for only the nosy apes will know
about bright, invisible landscapes
their tree is rooted in, deeply

this one is water walking the desert
to sit with, to dance with, to listen
to fountains and mountains, to mushroom
mycelium, to planets and plants

this one creates convergence
twixt a species lost and relations found
the thin line dividing terror and awe
has to be crossed for healing, for good

nod to terence

Nod To Terence

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

COUNTDOWN

My Christmas song.  Written originally in December 1994 with a little bit of inspiration from TS Eliot’s ‘The Journey of the Magi’, I changed some of the lyrics before recording this.  I was aiming for epic, I hope that comes across.


Brilliant Blue Star


It was cold, so cold,
The coldest time of year,
We crossed the tree line to reach here.
From scorching sands,
Through frozen wastelands,
We who once were kings,
Now on our knees.

From our endless observations
And the charts we drew we knew 
Our journey would be long,
And while we left our native kingdoms
To pursue the signs we saw,
The brilliant blue star shone.

Our departure had been 
A great affair of state,
We took diamonds and emeralds 
To pay our way 
Through neighbouring countries 
Hostile to our needs,
We traded with them
In gold and slaves.

From the fertile river deltas
To the barren desert plains,
We travelled westward,
Onto the mountains that we climbed
And the canyons that we crossed
The brilliant blue star shone.

As exhaustion claimed us,
Our numbers dwindled fast,
The strength of those remaining
Could not last,
Our riches stolen when we,
Too weak to fight,
Had sheltered from a sandstorm overnight.

We were alchemists, astrologers,
Astronomers and kings,
Men of highest breeding,
But now our wills are all but broken
And we fall to the ground,

It was cold, so cold,
The coldest time of year,
We crossed the tree line to reach here,
From scorching sands,
Through frozen wastelands,
We who once were kings,
Now on our knees.

It was cold, so cold,
For a journey such as this.

The brilliant blue star 
Showed us this,
He was sleeping when 
We offered Him our gifts.
