Great lyrics, great flow, great from the get-go. Truly enjoyed this track. Keep them coming.

Ultra catchy song.. send this to Bruno Mars, dude could make this a hit 😎 really great. Keep doing what you do. Love, Hannah ❤️

Couldn’t resist this one. Great fun…. How’d you squeeze all those lyrics in? Funny and serious too. Love the o o chorus.  It’s a cheeky chappy song but a protest song too of course. I’m with you. Full of invention. Very impressive!

awesome lyric  and vocal,  you  are  a  definitive wordsmith! love  it!

Evocation Of A Pleasant Discovery

a song about running away

----------

3am and I’m heading west
Miles shot through with regret
Eyes on the road and the memories
Safe inside my head

I see through your platitudes
Maybe one day I’ll learn
So much distance back to you
Not sure when that bridge got burned

We write our names in the sand
Point our headlights at the moon
We make our way through this land
But gone too soon

No more equivocating
Time to put this to rest
Too much of everything
but enough isn’t the test

I’ve come so far and still I
Feel some days that’s wrong
Only wanted to let you know
That this is where love went wrong

We write our names in the sand
Point our headlights at the moon
We make our way through this land
But gone too soon

Too Long feat Colby Gray

Lyrics:

Cold silence cuts in
Thin layers of  hope to withstand the relentless storm.
Deep spiraling fear
Unraveling seams in Orwelian need for more.

Internalize enlightened verses' tones
Inside this startling haze of trying times.
Romanticized resounding Prozac brings to life 
The smoldering thoughts to go on.

Light fades with the last attempts to predict the past 
Inside this place that you used to call home.

In hope for last transform
Extending the wings to the fire.
This soothing light for the lost
Deceiving me, burning me

Cold

Selfish Man

SELFISH MAN

Galactic Rhode

A lovely May.
You peaked too soon, my summer child.
Alive? 
Just trying to get by.
With a smile inside my eyes.
Ignore the scars.
Acting hard.

You're on a beach.
A weever fish/your feet.
You try to eat a peach.
But those things are bloody hard.
You can't look upon the stars in summertime.
Don't ask why.

I've been on the scene.
I've been in a dream.
I've let people down in many ways.
Sweep me off my feet.
Trapped in the machine.
I can't escape.

I've been on the wane.
I've been home again.
Nobody'll listen what I say.
Sweep me off my feet.
Trapped in the machine.
I can't escape.

Another day.
You'll want for nothing summer child.
Arrived.
At always the right time.
You didn't recognise it was your salad days.
Within the haze.

You're out of reach.
You can not hear my speech.
You've nothing left to teach.
Condescending meek.
You wouldn't wait another week.
To run away.
Run away.

Not part of a team.
Living in a dream.
I've let people down in many ways..
Swept me off my feet.
Trapped by the machine.
There's no escape.

Singing in the rain.
From heaven to the drain.
Nobody'll listen when I say.
Sweep me off my feet.
Trapped by the machine.
I can't escape.

I've been on the scene.
I've been in a dream.
I've let people down in many ways.
Sweep me off my feet.
Trapped in the machine.
I can't escape.

I've been on the wane.
I've been home again.
Nobody'll listen when I say.
Sweep me off my feet.
Trapped by the machine.
I can't escape.
There's no way.



Summer Child

Deadaz in Luv

Change

Lyrics:

Yeah, they told me fitting in is the only way
But every time I try, it just feels so fake
Smiles on my face like a plastic display
Keeping quiet just to make the world okay

Take your medicine, work your daily grind
Shake a stranger’s hand, pretend you feel fine
But truth is something I can't leave behind
I don't wanna be another copy in line

Tell me why you need to close your mind
I don’t wanna be normal like you
Every day I’m running out of time
Searching for a place where I can be true

Closer, closer, to a dream inside
Where I don’t need the mask just to survive
Closer, closer, I can almost find
A way to be normal too
Or maybe just normal for me, not you

Whispers in the crowd say "dont stand out"
They laugh at the ones who live too loud
But I just smile, I know what they're about
Fear of themselves they can’t talk out loud

They want control, they want to choose your clothes
Script your life like a TV show
But I won’t bend, I won’t play that role
I’m the fire they can’t control

Tell me why you’re chasing their design
I don't wanna be normal like you
Every day I break another line
Finding out I’m something brand new

Closer, closer, to a spark inside
Where my flaws are fuel and my faults can shine
Closer, closer, I begin to find
Maybe my normal's the truest kind

Normal’s a word they use for control
Keep you in line till you’re grey and old
But I won’t fall for the lies they sold
My spirit’s rich, even if pockets are cold

So call me strange, call me out of place
I’ll wear my scars like a badge of grace
While you hide behind a plastic face
I found freedom in embracing my space

Closer, closer, every step I move
Not “normal like you” ... I’m carving my truth
Closer, closer, I can finally see
Being normal just means being me

Normal like me, not you.

Like the Way You Move

I play pretty much everything, pretty badly. Sometimes after a million takes, it sounds ok.

   I truly play my instruments, write my own songs, really sing my songs and have an interest in other real singer/songwriters. I don't rely on AI computer software to create my music because I write it myself. It may not appeal to all but I can honestly say it is my own work. My latest Album "Caught In A Moment" released June 20, 2020 along with new video for "Trying To Breathe" released on June 17, 2020. Checkout the link below. 

   Just a simple singer/song writer here that has a great passion for song writing and really singing my songs. Enjoy spending my time in my studio in the mountains of California where my guitar whales through the night with a string snapping now and then. Spend my summers at my home in the mountains and my winters in southern California. At one time I had a regular gig in San Francisco where the people were actually able to watch me perform my songs and purchase my work. 

   I now love to play at small gatherings. No, I don't need to bring my computer along for it to perform instead of me. Love to take my guitar to the beach and sit on the sand and sing to the ocean. Or sit out on my deck and sing to nature. Love to have friends at my home to play or write a song together as we sit out on a warm summer evening.

Normal like me, not you.
