Lyrics...
When you were younger, whole world was your stage
None of the doubt that creeps in with age (oh with age)
You were a dreamer, reach up and pull down the moon
And the stars and the milky way

Imagination, the magic within
Eyes of a child, unburdened by stress or by sin
You were a dreamer, make wings and fly to the sun
Turn it up, change the night to day

Da-da-da, Da-da-da
Hold Fast in Troubled Seas
Da-da-da, Da-da-da
Missing the forest for the trees

Hold fast to your dreams
Even when the going is slow
Hold fast to your dreams
The storm clouds are sure to blow
Hold fast to your dreams
Nobody can take them from you
Hold fast to your dreams
Just believe they can come true

Now that you're older, let the world wear you down
Jaded by failure, your smile turned to a frown
You were a dreamer, did you already forget
The coin, the fountain, the wish you made

Mental stagnation, the vision is dim
Eyes of a blind man, distracted by whims (oh by whims)
You were a dreamer, don't make it a thing of the past
Light a spark, step out of the shade

Da-da-da, Da-da-da
Hold Fast in Troubled Seas
Da-da-da, Da-da-da
Missing the forest for the trees

Hold fast to your dreams
Even when the going is slow
Hold fast to your dreams
The storm clouds are sure to blow
Hold fast to your dreams
Nobody can take them from you
Hold fast to your dreams
Just believe they can come true

Lyrics...
It don't take much to make a song
A simple melody, so you can sing along
Don't need no fancy studio
Plug in the guitar, let the music go

A piece of wood, six strings and a song to sing
A piece of wood, six strings and a song
A piece of wood, six strings and a song to sing
A piece of wood, six strings and a song

It don't take much to write a tune
Don't need a band, fancy gear or special room
No experience needed to apply
Crank up the amplifier, the chords will come alive

A piece of wood, six strings and a song to sing
A piece of wood, six strings and a song
A piece of wood, six strings and a song to sing
A piece of wood, six strings and a song

It don't take much to find a groove
Just string some notes together in a tempo that is smooth
Don't need no fancy studio
Plug in a guitar, let the music go

A piece of wood, six strings and a song to sing
A piece of wood, six strings and a song
A piece of wood, six strings and a song to sing
A piece of wood, six strings and a song

That that you need you have
That that you don't you don't
That that you want, you should just let it go
That that is less is more
That that is less is best
A simple song can restore your soul

A piece of wood, six strings and a song to sing
A piece of wood, six strings and a song
A piece of wood, six strings and a song to sing
A piece of wood, six strings and a song

A piece of wood, six strings and a song to sing
A piece of wood, six strings and a song
A piece of wood, six strings and a song to sing
A piece of wood, six strings and a song

It don't take much to make a song....

Lyrics:
Man opens plane hatch for baby
Weird people at farmer's market
Sunburn vs Poison Ivy
Your epic fail at Target
The secret words of happiness
Bugs in your frappuccino
VHS is awesomeness
Side effects of Reading rainbow

Good Mythical Morning
Good Morning, Good Morning
Good Mythical Morning
Let's Talk About That

Let's Talk About That

How to catch a fly in your hand
Why fire ants are amazing
Discrimination at Legoland
And  the first Thanksgiving
Weird Mountain Biking Encounter
Pervasive Party Problem
Worst Halloween costumes ever
And public hotel restroom

Good Mythical Morning
Good Morning, Good Morning
Good Mythical Morning
Let's Talk About That

Let's Talk About That...

When work began on Xrays of the Imagination in the fall of 2015, Dunlop & Radford had no intention of creating an album that would be commercial. It was more a collection of experimental songs with each song consisting of multiple parts. As the new material took on a life of its own, it became clear that the album in process was unique and a departure from their work of the preceding decade. Choosing to follow wherever the creative impulse took them, TCT embraced novel sounds, lyrics, and arrangements, producing what would become a celebration of their musical influences, both current and past.

The song “When Our Heroes Die” was a fast track composed shortly after the passing of David Bowie. Other songs on the album were admittedly inspired by the work of such ground-breaking artists as the Beatles. Not only is this album a paean to their heroes, it is a gift to their fans. Enjoy.

Mad Liberation is a collection of songs that I have been working on for the past year that ranged from mostly original compositions to varied sample work (retro vinyl recordings and new all original recordings); digital synthesis that took me weeks to master; to live instrumentation tediously and soulfully recorded by myself and some of my very good friends. 

This collection of noise - to me - became an album, a sound in a whole, an idea free from limits of thought and more an idea of the heart and soul. Mad Liberation is a piece of me that is representative of my past, breathes life into my present, and is a taste of the future. 

I don't have fancy recording equipment, amazing speakers, crazy keyboards, complicated sample packs, proper studio time, cutting edge midi controllers, or outboard mixing gear. 

What I do have is an endless imagination of the future/now, unrelenting will, constant fascination, and a heart that has no capacity to stop loving and trying. 

This business - when you boil it down - is not about the machine, but about the man. Even electronic music is humanistic. We breath life into these dead things to make them whisper and ROAR!! I am inspired by that fact, and this is what sets me free.

This is Mad Liberation

Burno Mars - Locked Out Of Heaven (Boyce Avenue Acoustic Cover)

Indie Musician Specializing in Blues Inspired Alternative Rock.  I'm a one-man-band who writes my own music, sings my own vocals and plays all instruments in each mix.  I dig (pun intended) complete creative control.

Living Fossils are animals found, deep in the rocks, that are thought to be long extinct but are found again still living and in much the same form. Some say rock is dead. My musical goal is to make guitar driven rock songs that are much the same as those of the past. 

Rock's Not Dead....It's Just Underground!!
