Summer of '17 Assorted SC Greats

We Are Standing On Holy Ground

A little over 1 week ago Laser Beam challenged me to write a happy song or happy love song, and I've never been able to manage a happy song without it being total shit, so I really thought about what actually made me happy right now, and it was my buddies here on Soundcloud. I have never felt so much love coming to me virtually or otherwise in a long time, so I thought I'd write a song with all (or at least as many as possible) people I've connected with through SC. I managed 56 around which I've tried to make a story for this song.
There are many more, but including everyone would mean a book, not a song. I AM grateful to everyone though, for all their support and love. So this This IS A lalaLOVE song for you.

Like a LASERBEAM shining into me
Can't tell you just how happy it's making me
I've got a HEADCHARGE Triple 7 heaven
Floating on a cloud with AN DI YI
Life can be heavy and it's some kind of WEIGHTY TREE
Now with my SPLINTERED FINGER I call on GLUTTONY
Kill who you want but don't you KILLWHITY
Oh life is SWEET, sweet like MELI

Chorus:
I lalaLove You

With a DYSLEXIC SOUL I turn on FRENCH RADIO
IT burns ASLOWFIRE through to the ABSTRACT DAWN
I drive too fast sometimes WHEELRIGHT and left
TRAVELLING WAVE high low with CAPTAIN LEST
Through ATLAS CEDAR it's a WONDERTRACK
SOFIA's magic forest yeah I'm never turning back
I'm DONEOFIT this FUCKED UP GENERATION
MSBESSIE she's ok
Love didn't kill her today

Chorus

SHOOT THE WENDY BIRD she gives me VERTI GO
THE COMA DOLLS on my mantel say it's time to go
FLOXYDE your peroxide blonde you know ROSES ARE BLUE
Tell Mr. TAYLOR I've got love and I've got it for you too
Take an EXCURSION into ECHO COSMIC
THE FISHERMAN threw in his line and now he's pulling on you
Ooh Ooh
Before we SCREATCH to a halt

Chorus

There's a MAN ON THE GRILL with a MELODY HEAD
He has a SU DA NYM they call him PSYCHOSPAIN
Don't STONE THE CROWS for their MOUNTAIN SONGS
It's only EVOLWEEVOL bringing on the storm
ABANDON THE INSIDE and BLANK AWAY
Today is not the last there's another on it's way
Life isn't like chocolate it's an INCONSISTENT JUKEBOX
No matter how much WHOLE WHEAT you eat
You can never get too much
ANDA and JOHN DONALD
JULIE and CHIARA
ESBEN HANSEN get out your YAGAS
PSYCHEEVIL in the stream will he find his way to GUIVILLE
It's a raging river
A push up a steep hill

Chorus:

Oh I love love love you
Yeah on yeah

Ash Wednesday
I love love love you

Nothing To Lose (feat. Kyle Egret)

"A Bird Flew in My Open Window" comes from the "Broken Reflections" album, November 2015. On that recording I used acoustic guitar and harmonica.

A bird flew in my open window
‘Twas a robin, red of breast
He cocked his head, looked at me sideways
As he lighted on my desk

I felt that he’d come with a message
I could not guess what it might be
But then he turned back toward the window
And he took his leave of me

As he dissolved into the foliage
Of the early spring treetops
I heard him sing his parting postlude
And my heart did nearly stop

Rolling crests and plunging valleys
His melody was like the tide
Majestic as a mighty ocean
Cozy as a fireside

You are flying in the azure
You are singing with the clouds
All you have to do is notice
So raise your face and sing out loud

The fear of dying makes you notice
The joy of living everyday
Pain and trouble is a rainstorm
Your heart's a flower, come what May

The beauty that you see around you
Is the beauty that’s within
Thoughts and fences cannot bound you
Like the robin you can sing

A Bird Flew In My Open Window

Bugaboo (Fat Pockets and Skiprope Opus Collab)

Day becomes night 
When the hate takes over 
Might doesn’t make right 
Keep watching over your shoulder 

Chorus: 
Guns don’t kill, people do 
But with a gun he’ll kill more than a few 
We need gun control, for our nation’s soul 
Don’t put that tool in the hands of a fool 

‘Cause when the bullets scream 
The people scream louder 
There’s no reason we need 
That much fire power 

Chorus 

Let’s tone down the rhetoric 
That makes the time bombs tick 
Love is stronger than fear 
Hold your loved ones near 
Let’s tone down the rhetoric 
That makes the time bombs tick 
Love is stronger than fear 
Hold your loved ones near

Bloody August Weekend

Lying back in a pick-up bed 
Watching the falling stars overhead 
Wondering why they don’t all fall 
And how the universe holds us all 
In place 

Yeah, I know about Albert Einstein 
And all that stuff concerning space-time 
I guess I’m not really asking how 
As much as why and the answer I’ve found 
Is grace 

Sing Hosanna from a fallen world 
Sing Hosanna from a fallen world 
Sing Hosanna from a fallen world 
Sing Hosanna from a fallen world 

The mountains at night heavy with shadow 
Trees like dervishes when the wind blows 
Are they just bending with the flowing wind? 
Or are they dancing with a joy within 
Called love? 

Or maybe the wind is dancing too 
If I dance, then how about you? 
I don’t want to be the only loon 
Dancing beneath with the shining moon 
Above 

Sing Hosanna from a fallen world 
Sing Hosanna from a fallen world 
Sing Hosanna from a fallen world 
Sing Hosanna from a fallen world

Sing Hosanna From A Fallen World

I stepped outside in early autumn 
It was cold enough to see my breath 
Felt a hole so deep couldn’t see the bottom 
Couldn’t appreciate its breadth 

Bitter memories and old regrets 
Seized upon me like a stealthy mugger 
Seems a part of me never forgets 
And overtime the terrain can just get rougher 

Chorus: 
Almost forgot the most important thing 
Almost forgot the one thing I know is true 
Almost forgot the reason I still sing 
Almost forgot that I’ll always have you 

Winter fell and the days just got more bleak 
The wind so cold I felt it in my heart 
I couldn’t even find the words to speak 
Or so many words didn’t know which word should start 

Chorus 

When spring came and the robin sang 
Something within me sprang 
Love like a new and growing chute 
The sky is blue but I am not 
For I know what I have got 
I know that I’ve got you to pull me through 

So hug me like the summer, don’t let go 
Let your sunshine penetrate my mind 
Let me feel your warmth from head to toe 
I’ll be your summer and you will be mine 

And I won’t forget the most important thing 
I won’t forget the one thing I know is true 
I won’t forget the reason that I sing 
Because I know I always have you

The Most Important Thing

Let’s drive out to the ocean 
So we can watch the motion 
Don’t forget the lotion 

Because I’ve got a notion 
That the great big bright yellow sun 
Will be shining by the ocean 

And we can watch the waves for a really long time 
This wave’s yours and that one’s mine 
Hey, where’d they go? They sank back down 
Other waves took their place, but they’ll come back around 

And each swelling wave that touches the sky 
Thinks he’s so great, but I don’t know why 
‘Cause when he comes back down eventually 
He’ll find that he was always just a part of the sea 

And actually isn’t that greater? But we’ll talk about that later 

For you & me & everything we see are the waves of Divinity

Driving To The Ocean

Based very loosely on a legend from the Tillamook people

Chorus: 
Love is great and everybody wants it 
When you don’t have it, it seems that others flaunt it 
Wear the wrong love and you’ll find that it can’t fit 
Love is great and everybody wants it 

Verse 1: 
One day a man saw a beautiful woman 
She was very nice and he felt he was a good man 
He tried to woo her and he tried to win her 
But he was such an amateur beginner 
[Chorus] 

Verse 2: 
Then one day on a walk in the woods 
He met a little man who he thought could do some good 
The little man it seems, was a Deetkatoo 
Whom everyone knows grant wishes, don’t you? 
[Chorus] 

Verse 3: 
So he told the Deetkatoo 
Do as I ask, for I found you 
Give all I ask under heaven above 
And the one thing that I wish for is love 
[Chorus] 

Bridge: 
"Oh, no, no, no, I can’t do that! 
Oh no, no, no!" was the Deetkatoo’s chant 

At this the man became quite enraged 
And he tried to trap the Deetkatoo in a cage 
Just then the beautiful woman happened by 
And was astonished by what met her eye. 
”Who is this little man you’re caging?” She said, 
”And why does he seem to me so engaging?” 

Verse 4: 
Yes, in a strange turn no one expected 
It was the Deetkatoo to whom she was attracted. 
She had truly fallen for the little Deetkatoo 
And now I ask you, wouldn’t you? 
[Chorus] 

Verse 5: 
So now I’m here singing you this song 
It may be right or it could possibly be wrong 
Hoping you’ll pay me for my song with a buck 
Can you spare some change for a man with bad luck? 
For I was the man in this sordid tale 
The Deetkatoo took my girl and my pride as well 
The least I can ask is a little recompense 
For singing this story at my own expense. 
[Chorus]

600,000 homeless people 
Men & women, children, too 
Are sleeping on the streets this evening 
It could be me, it could be you 

Some’ve lost jobs and can’t get new ones 
Some were kicked out on the street 
All of them are sad and hungry 
And can’t afford a bite to eat 

Some are sick and some disabled 
Some are fighting private wars 
To them the dream is just a fable 
They see no key yet many doors 

600,000 homeless people 
Men & women, children, too 
Are crying out for help this evening 
It’s up to me, it’s up to you
