WE'VE ALL MESSED ABOUT
MAY'BE BEEN THE FOOL
SOMETIMES TAKE A CHANCE
AND BREAK ALL THE RULES

TIMES  CHANGED SO FAST
JUST LIKE LIFE IT SELF
IN A BLINK OF AN EYE
THEN I SAW YOU

REMEMBER THE WAYS OF THOSE DAYS

I DON'T BELIVE IN MUCH
AND WHAT'S ABOVE
UNTILL THAT STAR
FELL UPON YOU
(chorus)
LIVING IN A STREET OF LIFE
LIVING IN THIS WORLD
GROWING IN A STREET OF LIFE
(break)
SOMEDAY WE'LL BE GREY
ROCKING IN THE SHADE
LOVING EVERYDAY
I HOPE IT'S WITH YOU

LIFE IS FULL OF LUCK
THEN YOUR NUMBERS UP
DON'T WISH FOR MUCH
IF YOU HAVE LOVE
(chorus)
LIVING IN A STREET OF LIFE
LIVING IN THIS WORLD
GROWING IN A STREET OF LIFE
I'M TAKEN TO THIS WORLD
LIVING IN A STREET OF LIFE
LIVING IN THIS WORLD
GROWING IN A STREET OF LIFE
TAKE ME

A STREET OF LIFE

A STREET OF LIFE (see info for video link)

Inspired by the poem "I am Rich" by my dear friend, Dr. Ludwig Palacio.  In 2016, my wife and I were diving the Belize Barrier Reef and ended our trip visiting Punta Gorda, Belize. A pack of stray dogs hung around the ATM near the town square and one caught our attention.  We needed a veterinarian and were introduced to  Dr. Palacio.  Dr. Palacio was generous with all his resources and nursed the  sickly mutt back into good health within a few months. It was while we were touring the We Art Gallery, I first read the poem Dr. Palacio had published. He asked me to put it to music.  The final version will be released in December in time for Christmas.

I Am Rich

everybody needs to hold out hands
everybody needs to hold out hands
everybody needs a helping hand but I dont
everybody is getting to my brain
everybody is driving me insane
WHERE ARE YOU x2
WHERE
Tell me Tell me one more time x2
and I will see you
and I will remember you
Quickly get to me
pounding in my head
think of how you fucked me up
make me want you dead
I cant control who the fuck it is you are
but Ill be me Ill be me
I cant control who the fuck it is you are
but Ill be me Ill be me

find yourself alone x8

I know I know I know
Just why Just why Just why
you cry
youre gone youre gone
to me to me
youre gone youre gone
to me to me

Razzi & HOBOCOP - Everybody (dj Baubau Remix)

It's all about constant change, both in life and in music. As for the music, the original goal was to make use of panning to illustrate the "walking on by" at the beginning and end of the song. The second phase was creating a fuller sound without having various parts drowned out, or in some way, channel my inner Phil Spector.

The finale is the sound of footsteps walking by and then the shutting of the door as the song ends. End of a relationship. End of the song.

Maybe the best relationship advise I can give is: if you love someone, set them free ... don't quote me, quote Sting. :-) This is sort of my "resigned to my fate" version. I've been on both sides of that fence. I've walked away knowing it wasn't going to work out (long term). Sadly, I've been on the other side knowing the pain of love lost. But in the end, I didn't really lose anything that was mine to lose. I could go on and talk about how a true love is neither possessive nor jealous but hopefully, the song makes that point clear.

Just Walk On By
----------------------
Just walk -- walk on by
No need to tell me another lie
Keep it to yourself (I tell you)
Just walk on by ...

That's what I said -- keep on walking
You don't need to do any more talking
What you say just don't matter
Just walk on by ...

[Solo]

You say that you love me, ain't that right?
So where were you all last night?
He he! That really don't matter
Just walk on by ...

So many years, I've been holding on
Now you don't want to say: "So long."
Well, you know I hate long good byes, so
Just walk on by ...

[final solo]

[footsteps as she leaves and shuts the door
thus closure to the song and the relationship]

... you know I hate long good byes.
