I never met my paternal grandfather.  He died from a brain tumor at the age of 57, before I was born.  My father never talked about it, but my mother did.  In recounting my grandfather's illness and the family history she knew, she told me that when my grandfather was very young, he and his friends would go play in a number of nearby orange groves. Those groves were beautiful, spacious, and the oranges were free for the taking. Unfortunately, they were also heavily sprayed with pesticides during that time period. My mother believed that my grandfather's exposure to those pesticides most likely played a role in the cancer that took his life many years later.  At the time of his death, there was little attention paid to the notion that pesticide exposure could impact one’s health and longevity, so there was no discussion of the matter when he became ill.

I have often thought about his life, as well as my mother's words. While we'll never completely know what happened, we'll remember my grandfather and this chapter in his story.  There are lessons to be learned from it, as well as similar stories from others.  Our environment should not be harmful to health but should protect it.

This improvised composition was written to remember my grandfather's story.

THEY’LL NEVER GET IT
Ooooh-ooooh-ooooh
V1
Some people just can’t be helped
Pulling teeth, there’s just no use
Some people are too far gone
You just gotta cut ‘em loose

CHORUS
They’ll never get it
So, just forget it
It’s not worth wastin’ your breath
They’ll never get it
Forget you said it
Tho’ it be life-or-death

Ooooh-ooooh-ooooh, Ooooh-ooooh-ooooh

V2
The truth is a lonely place
So many lovers of the lies
Fitting in, you never could
There’s no need to agonize

CHORUS
They’ll never get it
So, just forget it
It’s not worth wastin’ your breath
They’ll never get it
Forget you said it
Tho’ it be life-or-death

Ooooh-ooooh-ooooh, Ooooh-ooooh-ooooh
Ooooh-ooooh-ooooh, Ooooh-ooooh-ooooh

V1 REPEATS
Some people just can’t be helped
Pulling teeth, there’s just no use
Some people are too far gone
You just gotta cut ‘em loose – 
Just cut ‘em loose, ooooh-ooooh-ooooh

CHORUS
They’ll never get it
So, just forget it
It’s not worth wastin’ your breath
They’ll never get it
Forget you said it
Tho’ it be life-or-death
Life or death
We all choose
We all choose..ooooh-ooooh-ooooh

THEY’LL NEVER GET IT

Invisible (2009) Lost Tracks

A Hundred Letters

[Verse 1]
I received every letter you ever sent me
Read each word, every line, felt your soul in every page
Every letter you wrote, every line I read,
Brings my heart closer to yours

[Chorus]
A hundred letters; and I’ve read them all
I read them every night
Remember every word, every sentence, every line
All hundred letters

[Verse 2]
I read them every day, every night
Sometimes I fall asleep with your words in my hands
Then I dream you’re here, reading them to me
I kiss your lips as you read, but you keep reading
A hundred letters

[Chorus]
A hundred letters, and I’ve read them all
Your voice echoes every word
All hundred letters

[Outro]
Now I’m awake, waiting at this bus station
Waiting for you
Let the rain pour, thunder roar, sea rage
I’ll sit here and wait
Until you come and hold me
So I’m waiting
I’m waiting, baby

Forever With You

Frosted Hearts

This is a piece for piano, written in this special moment of the day. I have tried to achieve intimacy and sweetness, and of course a lot of introspection.
