Well done on completing the album Len, just finished listening to it! Good stuff

bad to the bone blends

Uprising Has Begun

Thanks for listening

Lyrics:
While the footprints will change
Ashes under sand blend with remains
Killers follow voices
From beyond the grave
Shielded by candle flame

Send your canoe down the river
The people are waiting
To be set free
Sell your sin
To the weakest bunch of men
Then wash their wounds in a saline sea

The rat seems troubled
With his feet stuck to the floor
Ignoring Elder advice
He begs then offers more
The light I followed here
Seemed to hold the key
Ancient air bubbles
Frozen in gold
All for freedom
Still I've seen no shine
Need some time to think

Delusions unwind
Masked men clean the trap
Stay calm rat
Let your mind collapse

Send your cruisers through the village
The people are waiting to be set free
All in need of aide
But our leader won't be swayed
They'll clean their wounds
With what they got for free

Set them free

Prisoners of Travel

This is an exploration of different sounds and genres. Trying to push the limits and step out of my comfort zone.

Lyrics:

He used to say I had lemon lips,
Hard to resist my bitter kiss,
Spent hours staring into my eyes,
Didn't bother to say goodbye.

He put our love on trial,
Black-out drinking was his style,
The Maker's Mark was the judge,
I chaperoned, but held no grudge.

Our love was like a broken vase,
The one he threw at my face,
Tore off my panties that very night,
And I never felt more alive.

Chorus:

We could really hurt each other, but...
We had enough passion to start the place on fire,
The love we made drowned me in desire.
If I had known the fortune I found in you,
I would have thought twice, before I was untrue.

Invited out for drinks with a friend,
So much more, I can't pretend,
Nothing waiting at home for me,
Only silence and misery.

Made a mistake, I can't take it back,
Thought he had everything that you lack,
Now I can see I was such a fool,
Threw it away and broke the rule.

You're gone forever I can't amend,
Left this world, we weren't even friends,
Wish we could talk one more time,
Only see you in my mind.

Repeat Chorus

I wish I could call you, but you can't pick up,
Your house key still hangs by the key to my truck,
I see all your paintings every time that I wake up,
Still wear all the t-shirts that you didn't pack up.

Repeat Chorus

He used to say I had lemon lips,
Hard to resist my bitter kiss,
Spent hours staring into my eyes, 
Never got (didn't bother) to say goodbye...

Bitter Kiss (feat. Sarah Gilbert)

OLD SKOOL VOCAL SET FROM 4 YRS AGO

This song is the first in a series related to the theme of ego, self-love, and self-help. The song was written and recorded in August 2018 but with live drums added in June 2020 with remixing. Drums provided by Liam Buttrick. It's a bit more airy and poppy than other songs of mine. Recorded with Baldwin grand piano, electric piano (Yamaha Motif6), bass, electric guitar.

CHRIS ROYAL X SKETTI[REAL HIGH REAL FAST]]NEW JACK CITY//

When, 
10,000 years ago
In cities far apart
Two people shared one heart
And put their trust in all the

Words
Across the wires that drift
Four thousand hours a year
A balm for lonely nights
Across the ocean they did

Fly
In cheap seats in the clouds
Burning up all the hours
Then a taxi to the street
An Eastside walk up in the
Heat
 
Why 
Why can’t we
Fall, in love, again
Let’s 
Let’s try to see
Things differently
Let’s not pretend

She
Laid out on satin sheets
Gold bracelets on her feet
Naked beneath a shawl
The headboard banging on the

Wall
Young lovers that devour
And tread upon the flower
With little care or shame
And Never asking Who’s to

Blame
And When are you coming home
This food is getting cold
We sound so very old

Long Distant Longing

"Rise and Fall" - as the show concludes, the story of the Rock Star, the fame, the fortune!

My 4th album, "Almost Live! (Where the Music Takes Me!)" ....... this is my transition album from the acoustic and folk style songs of the last few years to the all electric "Rock 'n Roll" music I grew up on! The songs start off lighter with tracks 1 thru 5 comprising the "Where the Music Takes Me!" side. Then into tracks 6 thru 10 for some "Almost Live!" music! Listen to the whole album as the music "moves" as if in concert! Check out the intro to each track and then listen to them all or just the ones that catch you at the beginning, you will definitely find something you like! ........ as always, thanks for listening! ....... Len

Almost Live! (Where the Music Takes Me!)

Rise and Fall

Birds in flight

The tried and tested little motion
I guess I really should have put some clothes on
The icicles that hang are souvenirs
I'm far more shallow than it first appears

CHORUS
Internal character assassination
Put myself down before you can
Whose the most mighty man?

Kick back and let me tell you a short story
Its a tome of all my former glory
Are you listening?  I'm letting out a secret
There's nothing captured so don't read it

CHORUS

Internal Character Assassination

Remember way back in Highschool?

Thanks to:
Sean Sweeney - Drums
Adrian Filangi - Bass

Remember way back in Highschool
When we thought that we were cool
Never dreamed that it would last long
While I dreamed awhile with you
We would run through the halls
Throw our books at the walls
and I do it all for you
I'll never forget smoking cheap cigarettes
to look cool, in front of you

Later on we took the long way home
So I could walk awhile with you
dreamed of where we'd be in 5 longs years
and I'd dream those dreams with you
I was cool I was calm I was Hip I was suave
when I told you it was you
I'll never forget all those things that I said
to look cool infront of you

Cause Darling I loved you
Back in Highschool

When I think about those Highschool years
I can't help but think of you
Those days are gone but it makes me smile

Highschool

"It's just a hobby!"

I bought my first guitar about 10 years ago, I was 56 years old. I had wanted to learn long ago and decided with my early retirement, now was a good time! I had no musical experience but with the help of many YouTube videos (mostly JustinGuitar.com), I started to learn. Along the way, I wrote my first original song and started videoing and recording my music, both originals (@lenaloise) and covers (@lenaloisecovers). My first song was posted about 5 years after that first guitar!

My music "hobby" has really grown since I started! Many guitars, pedals, gadgets, equipment! But it's a hobby! I work hard for every note and learning this instrument at an older age is different from starting in your teens! My page is a mix of things that I enjoy in my "hobby"! I record "almost live" with minimal takes and editing. I strive for fun, not perfection, and I learn as I need to for that enjoyment!

So please subscribe (if you like) and follow along! Thanks for listening!
