Blast From the Past
Music and Words by Mark Magram (2024)

(v1)
I had a vision of a time gone by
I caught a glimpse out of the corner of my eye
An old flame a long time ago
Who taught me lessons that I wish I did not know
I wish I did not know

(ch)
This is a blast from the past
And I dont intend to let it last

(v2)
I want to tell her that she made a mistake
I want to show her that my heart didn't break and I'm fine
But the best revenge is just a life well lived
And so I smiled and turned around and walked away
I got nothing to say
I got nothing to say

(ch)
This is a blast from the past
And I dont intend to make it last

(bridge)
Sometimes things are better left in the past
Sometimes things are better if you let go
Sometimes things are better left in the past
Sometimes things are better if you let go

(ch)
This is a blast from the past
I dont intend to make it last, no no no
This is a blast from the past
I dont intend to make it last, no no no

I'm gonna walk away
Gonna walk away

Blast From The Past

(All lyrics improvised, then written down after recording)
Me and you
We wrote songs of new
But there were very few
Who would see it through
So raise your lighters
For all soulwriters
As time will pass
Let's try not to drag-ass
'Cause Brewski's back 
Brewski's back in charge 
He's giving love
He's living large
Brewski's back
Tenacious one man band
So help him out
And lend a hand
Just stay in
Just stay in
Just stay in
Just stay in
We all will win
We all will win
If you just stay in
You just stay in
'Cause Brewski's back
Brewski's back
Let's kick some ass
Like a blast from the past
Oh Brewski

Brewski’s Back

Not much going on here. 1 Guitar and 1 bass crammed thru ableton w/ a stock drum rack. 2 Synths: minibrute plug-in (preset is "Dirty Harry") + ableton wavetable. Used the new Ableton 12.1 Autoshift on my improvised, gibberish vocals (supposed to be replaced, but I like!). swu22_01 20241008

Two Shadows

You’re gonna cry
Gonna get mean
You’ll say it’s the worst it’s ever been

Things are gonna break
You’re heart is gonna ache,
The other grass will be look more green

So just reach and give a shout, 
drop by or pick up the phone,
Life’s a go but you should know, 
that you’ll never have to do it alone 

(CHORUS)
It takes two shadows to tango in the night
There are shadows from the past but this one seems just right
It takes two shadows, one to catch one when it falls
Cuz a heart all by itself is just another shadow on the wall

The car will break down
You’re gonna make frowns
You’re gonna question your fate

You’re gonna go crazy
You’re gonna be lazy
But all those things can always wait

Hold the hand of the one who understands 
Turn your house into a home
The ups and downs, the lost and founds
But you’ll never have to do it alone

(CHORUS)
It takes two shadows to tango in the night
There are shadows from the past but this one hold on tight
It takes two shadows one to catch one when it falls
Because a heart all by itself is the lonliest shadow of all

You’re gonna spill beers, 
you’re gonna cry tears
Throw those hands up in the air

You’re gonna have fears, 
you’re gonna shift gears 
You’ll want to pull out all your hair

But know that wherever you go, 
all the seeds that you have sewn
They will ensure that you can endure
And you’ll never have to do it alone 

(CHORUS)
It takes two shadows to tango in the night
There are blast from the past shadows, but this one stays all night
It takes two shadows, one to catch one when it falls
Through all the strife, you’ll get through this life 
With two shadows on the wall

You can be free, just you and he
Two shadows on the wall

Two Shadows

Do You See Me (Rough Draft 1)

Here's a song I wrote and played.

No I can't even walk 
Down the avenue
Without seeing you 
With someone new

I can't even go 
To the club no more
Oh they'll play our song
You'll be right there on the floor

Yes you're everywhere I go
In everything I do
And every memory
Is tryin to hold on to you

I'm caught up in this all alone
And every day you're gone
You're everywhere I go

Yeah, I'm losing my grip on this
Reality, love, I miss
The way that you call my name
I hear you in everything

And every song that DJ plays
I can hear your sweet harmony
Desire has got me out of my mind
My love it's just a matter on time


And you're everywhere I go
In everything I do
And every memory
Is tryin to hold on to you

I'm caught up in this all alone
And every day you're gone
You're everywhere I go

Joy
Music and Words by Mark Magram (2024)

I was drowning in my tears at my lowest point
Couldn't see a my way out
I never thought I'd see another sunny day
My world was filled with nothing but doubt

I kept on going through the pouring rain
Hoping to outrun the storm
I held on to a vision of a better place
Where everything was peaceful and warm

In the distance I saw your face
And everything imagined was real
You brought me

Joy
Beyond my wildest dreams
And a love I've never seen
So much more than I expected
But always believed I could find
You bring me
Joy
In every single way
To every single day
This is everything I wanted
I'm leaving my dark days behind
...

I was lead around by passion and desire
Always ending up lost
Time and time again I gambled with my heart
Never thought about the cost

You showed me there was another way
Where love is just expected and real
And you don't ever have to fill your head with doubt
Wondering if they feel what you feel

Girl you turned my whole world right side up
Took me from the darkness to light
You brought me

(ch)

This is my new reality
Where everything I need
Is well within my reach



(ch)

Verse 1:
Thinking
I’ve been thinking
About nothing ‘cause it’s on my mind

Tryin’ makin’
Too much bakin’
Nothing’s working, but I’m still gonna’ try
 
Chorus:
I’m shit outta’ luck
Always dumb-struck
Ate up by the the crap that I find
 
Tried shakin’ in loose
What’s the excuse? 
I just need to stop waisting time 

Verse 2:
Better! “Do better.”
That’s what they say
Man all I do is try

Feel better
That’s what I’m thinking
Everyday, baby that’s my life

A song from the perspective of a homeless man.  Overlooked, but not giving up on life.

Living By Desire

Perfectly Clear from The Season
Laura Marie
(pic effects by @ThomasTheo on Twitter)

When will you speak words that only I know to be true like you do
How do you find all the thoughts that I thought were mine inside you
Love
Tail lights shine in the darkness, rain on the pavement, clouds in the sky
Hands are held for a moment, hearts split in fragments that no one can find 

But your eyes are perfectly clear 
In this light the reason we won’t disappears
and I’m moved to swell and to surge like the tide
with all the moonlight over you

Over and over I sing all my sorrows in songs. I bring you
Faith on a string and my hope like a hallowed out heart, I need you 
Love, I need you love
Lightning strikes on the water, heavens are opened, nothing has died
Arms reach out to embrace you, barriers broken, strands come untied

But your eyes are perfectly clear 
In this light the reason we won’t disappears
and I’m moved to swell and to surge like the tide
with all the moonlight over you

making what seems wrong all right 
You, a full on miracle in hindsight
I never thought I’d ever see the world in such a light

But your eyes are perfectly clear 
In this light the reason we won’t disappears
and I’m moved to swell and to surge like the tide
with all the moonlight 

But your eyes are perfectly clear 
In this light the reason we won’t disappears
and I’m moved to swell and to surge like the tide
with all the moonlight over you
