Original in Memory (see lyrics below) 2014 (BMI)
Lyrics by Tony Harris - Vocal & Guitar by Phillip Clarkson 

AS I DROVE UP THE DRIVE WAY
I KNEW SOMETHING WAS WRONG
MY WIFE CAME RUNNING OUT
SAYING HURRY WE DON'T HAVE LONG

I CAN BARELY REMEMBER THAT DRIVE
CARS KEPT GETTING IN OUR WAY
FINALLY WE ARRIVED AT HIS HOME
I WILL NEVER FORGET THAT DAY

HE WAS SO VERY YOUNG
THAT'S WHY I'M WRITING THIS SONG
LEAVING US A FEW MONTHS AGO
WHY...WE WILL NEVER KNOW
OUR HEARTS ARE BROKEN
BUT HE WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN
SOME CALL THIS...THE GOOD HURT

HE NEVER KNEW FATHERHOOD
AND HIS LIFE WAS VERY SHORT
HE WAS LIKE A FATHER TO MANY
THE MEMORIES BRING US COMFORT

(REPEAT CHORUS)

GO REST HIGH ON THE MOUNTAIN
IS ENGRAVED IN HIS HEADSTONE
NOW HE'S RESTING ON THAT MOUNTAIN
SINGING WITH THE ANGLES AND NEVER ALONE

(REPEAT CHORUS)

SOME CALL THIS THE GOOD HURT

The Good Hurt (Lyrics by Tony Harris - Vocal/Music by Phillip Clarkson)

Sin City

Lyrics
Off the top ———-is where it’s at
unwrap this —————-gift RAP
hitting the streets—-it’s ——pure crack
Stone cold —-this trap ——TRACK!
Pool of knowledge ——-untapped
going —-in —-hard——we do that 
Better —-tighten up —-them bootstraps 
———SAY-——-“what the hell ——did Lou snap!!!”
swag baby —-The recap 
no snags—nah—we stop that!!!

Break the game down--it's a new map
Flow so rich--- better check that NASDAQ
Eyes on the prize---go the full lap
concrete jungle---stuck in the trap

[Verse]
From the alleys to the skyline---watch us elevate
Living large in the boroughs where we demonstrate
Every word a heavy weight--- every rhyme we detonate
New York state of mind---watch the Empire State

We on a mission---ain't no intermission, snap back
Murals on the walls--- street art on the subway track
Ambition in the air, we the kings--- claim the throne
Spittin' bars like bullets--- in this zone--- we at home

Icons of the asphalt--- legends in the flesh
Droppin' beats so heavy--it’s poundin' in your chest
From the 5 boroughs, anthems——- on full blast
Queens to the Bronx-- Brooklyn —-movin' fast
Elevate the hustle---the spirit never cracks
Struggle in the verses —-resilience in the—— tracks

Untapped

Hey , I’ve done a mix of  my friend @specialececilia wonderful song.

Better World - (Rework 2024)

Terry Reeves:  Vocals
Gary Reeves:  Drums
Hans-Michael Albers:  All other instruments, Arrangement & Production
(From the forthcoming album ‘From London To Hamburg’)

Photograph and post production by Dan Duchars.
Hans’ video: https://youtu.be/Lm8WoxCegRE?si=XFq1zX8Gkz3oLDmH

When you’re brainstorming ideas for album covers, you never really think they might involve placing yourselves in the middle of a road as traffic bears down on you.  However, that is precisely what we did.
Now I’m not one to tell tales but it was all Gal’s fault.  He thought our front cover  should feature an image of the entire band, which was quite compelling aside from the fact that we lived in London, Hans in Hamburg and have in reality never met.  But Gal had a mate called Dan (who lives in Norfolk, hence the title), a professional photographer whose comprehensive knowledge of Photoshop could bring the three of us together.
We’d always loved the pre-fame, Astrid Kirchherr portraits of The Beatles, taken during their club-playing, Hamburg days and two of these became our template - in focus subject occupying the foreground, covert and blurred figure (in our case, 2  figures) in the distance.
And so it was that, armed with a pin-sharp shot of Hans, we met with Dan to photograph the background scene which, as outlined previously, was in the middle of a busy side road.  Camera in hand, Dan teetered on a plastic crate as Gal and me  dodged back and forth to avoid a plethora of oncoming vehicles - everything from lorries to mobility scooters - who were, on the whole, very accommodating in the circumstances. Some even smiled and waved - at least I think that’s what they were doing…
We owe Dan so much, not only for his consummate skills and kindness but also for laying his life on the line in the name of art.  This song is for him.  (Terry Reeves)

I met a man called Dan holding a magical light
Viewing future moments, giving individual sight
Shadows from Hamburg, combination of skills
Show London reflection of a figure standing still

Chorus:
A flash of light, picture to follow
In black & white, diverse as tomorrow

Stand high in right places, enchanted vision of art
Friend of ageing musicians, sorcery skills from the heart
A Wizard conjuring cover, Kirchherr’s copy of claim
Painting light into a picture, producing Album in frame

Chorus

Viewing from height - sparks of vision
Seeing it tight - artist precision
Know left from right - avoid collision
Negative in sight - develop position

Chorus

Confidence in commitment, enjoying musical tracks
Working four to an image, platinum vinyl plaque 
Black and white cover photo, a clue why, when and who
Monochrome life connections, enjoy vision past to new

Chorus

A feeling it’s time to give a show
A feeling making history grow
A feeling, a feeling only one way to go
A feeling thinking fast going slow
A feeling Duchars photos will glow
A feeling CC one day will all know

Sorry that the world didn't end last night
Sorry everything turned out all right
and shattered all your dreams of Armageddon
Sorry everything still looks the same
The usual faces, the usual names
Maybe next time round things will be different

* And when we had that last dance together
You never thought that we'd see each other
as you toasted to the destruction
There was a gleam in your eye and a joy in your heart
Bad, bad world is gonna fall apart
Now it looks like you gotta do it all over again

Sorry that the world didn't end last night
Sorry that the sun came out alright
and shattered all your hopes for oblivion
Sorry that the birds still sing in the trees
Lazy lake rippling on a breeze
Who can tell the hour when we'll be leaving

*

Sorry That The World Didn't End Last Night(check out the Lee Lucas version on YouTube)

Ever wish you were somewhere else.  I know I'am not the only one who, at times,has to sit and listen while be chewed on.  Let your mind take you away.  John Prine- Nashville Songwriter Hall of Fame.  He won his first Grammy in 1991 and at age 70 he was named Artist of the Year by the Americana Music Association.  His songs have been recorded by the likes of Johnny Cash, Bettte Midler, Bonnie Raitt, George Strait and many others.  His new album , The Tree of Forgiveness is receiving so much acclaim.  Love this man

The Other Side Of Town( Cover-- John Prine)

Experimental Take on this Early Original EJ Gem from 'Tumbleweed Connection' Album in 1970. Intended with all due respect as a rather relaxed, mellow Hi Gain-Lo Vol sorta' version. Not sure it works? Yet, Big Fun to create Vocal Harmonies, while re-imagining and playing more as a scaled-back Guitar and Vocal Coffee-House tune. Regardless, hope it's enjoyed in some way? As always, Listens, Comments, always appreciated. :D)))
Love Song - Original - Elton John
The words I have to say
May well be simple, but they're true
Until you give your love....
There's nothing more that we can do
[Chorus]
Love is the opening door
Love is what we came here for
No one could offer you more
Do you know what I mean?
Have your eyes really seen?
You say it's very hard
To leave behind the life we knew
But there's no other way
And now it's really up to you
[Chorus 2]
Love is the key we must turn
Truth is the flame we must burn
Freedom the lesson we must learn
Do you know what I mean?
Have your eyes really seen?
[Interlude]
[Chorus 3]
Love is the opening door
Love is what we came here for
No one could offer you more
Do you know what I mean?
Have your eyes really seen?
Do you know what I mean?
Have your eyes really seen?
Do you know what I mean?
Have your eyes really seen?
Do you know what I mean?
Have your eyes really seen?

Love Song - Revisited - (Version)

Love Song - Revisited (Late Night - Lo-Fi Version)

Hey. Thanks for stopping by to see what’s up with me. I hope you are well. What I have noticed recently is, I am like an old dog now when I sleep. I close my eyes and dissolve into my dreams. There, I befriend people I may or may not not know... they may be essences of those past, or imaginative and archetypal beings of some significance. They may contain trace essences of people I know. I can fly, breathe under water, and I may on occasion travel the cosmos in a supernatural sense. I find the realm of dreams to be extraordinarily fascinating. A few years ago, I decided to begin to keep a dream journal which now is just shy of a hundred pages. A future book maybe? This song comes from an amalgamation of several recurring lucid dreams. Hope you like it, Mark

She Whispers To Me

Love country, folk, rock, gospel, blues and 60's style rock/pop music. I also post a Monday Playlist each week. My main page is Tony's Lyrics https://soundcloud.com/tonyslyrics

Hey. I am a late bloomer musically. Initially I started on acoustic guitar, then within the last 4 years: Banjo, slide guitar, dobro, harmonica and singing.  Most of my songs are rough, unpolished, unpracticed, recordings made on an old laptop. Thank you for the love and support, the insights and ideas, the camaraderie and fellowship, Lammbone
