Nothing Compares 2 U

Song I wrote for my sister on her wedding day. Rather than compose the more typical slow song heard at weddings (not that it's a bad thing), I felt inspired to write something a bit different. The idea behind the song is that marriage is truly a celebration of love...something to keep alive forever.

Of New Beginnings

Writing this song was truly a 'spiritual' experience. It is dedicated to the members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints living in Leest, Germany, and additionally, to all those who were part of the Peaceful Revolution that led to the reunification of Germany. I was particularly inspired by the lives and experiences of my former German in-laws who lived there, both during and after WWII, and for many decades as part of the German Democratic Republic, separated from the rest of the free world by an Iron Curtain and the Berlin Wall, yet making the most of their situation and finding peace and happiness. Reflecting upon them and their forefathers almost made the notes leap out of my mind.

Leest

Song written in 1993 and updated in 2004, recently receiving a name change for personal reasons.

A Girl I Once Knew

One way to love

This way, that way, opinions may vary
Your reference, your preference, the weight that you carry
But only one way to love, one way to love

You give it, you live it, well it frees your soul
But control it, console it, its take its toll
Only one way to love, there’s only one way to love

When love is freedom then love will grow
When love can fly, then let it go

Can’t make it, can’t fake it, it’s got to be real!
No concessions, pure obsession, you gotta follow how you feel!
There’s only one way to love, yeah only one way to love

The way we love one another!
(the way we love, the way we love the way we love!)
The way we love one another!
(the way we love, the way we love the way we love!)
That’s the right way to love!

It thrills you, fulfills you, gives hope and inspires
It frees you, will please you, all needs and desires
There’s only one way to love, one way to love!

The way we love one another!
(the way we love, the way we love the way we love!)
The way we love one another!
(the way we love, the way we love the way we love!)

Like wild horses, like night and day
It’s cosmic forces … that show the way!


So face it, embrace it, it’ll keep you alive
So give it, and live it, it’s your way to survive
There’s only one way to love, one way to love!
There’s only one way to love, one way to love!

(the way we love, the way we love the way we love!)
Oh let me hear you sing it to me!
(the way we love, the way we love the way we love!)
Oh the way we love!

Title song from the original Louis Gentile Album "Lila Fisch" available on iTunes. 

Lila Fisch

Spank that monkey!

Can you leave your number I'm not home right now
I'm off to see the wonders of the world
Pyramids of gold and streets of chocolate
Miracles beyond anything you’ve heard
Take my word  ... 
And if you try
You'll probably fly!

Sexual enlightenment the flesh is weak
Spiritual excitement  ...  earn a star!
It's all done with mirrors and a FaceBook page
Have you shown your God just who you are?
Bring your sitar!
It's time to show
The things that you know

Spank that monkey, prove that you know how!
Feel fine funky, photos are allowed
( fall on your knees ... make a prayer please ... 
the light is in your head!)

Time to light the incense it's the break of day
Time to cloud the issues of your life
Light a candle hold on tight to your Rosary beads
Father Flanagan instructs the boys  ...  make no noise!
Cause if God hears
I'll get 50 years!

(gonna give 'em what for ... then give 'em some more
show them who's boss!)

Spank that monkey!
