Every day I sweep my heart

Relic

everything sucks without you

Update:

I just learned that James Horbett, whose music inspired this song, passed away last year after a courageous battle with cancer. 

His wonderful music, song craft and incredible talent will always remain an inspiration to me, but the world is a poorer place without him.

RIP James Horbett, 1987-2019

Based on a chord sequence from the song 'There's No Constant' by James Horbett, this was the first rhythm guitar song I wrote using my 12-string guitar.

Lyrically inspired by the song 'Wharf Rat' by Robert Hunter and Jerry Garcia, and (somewhat obviously) by the movie 'On The Waterfront'.

Lyrics:
When I was young and I was strong
Back when I worked the Waterfront
I know I could have been someone
So long ago....

Once I was loving, I was loved
I never thought I'd have no-one
I know I could have been someone
Now I don't know...
And now I walk the Waterfront
What have you done?...

Some memories I can't forget
I know I'm not defeated yet...
I know I could have been someone
What have you done?
But now I'm on the Waterfront
What have you done to me?

On The Waterfront (Jim's Song)

re.funked // feat Doc Fritz on drums

Faith and social issues can be contentious and polarising. But for me, both combined is a marriage made in heaven. As a young songwriter I wanted to explore that, and this was one of those attempts. It is based on the ‘I Am’ sayings, and I thank you for listening.

I Saw Jesus (Brian Peters)

I saw Jesus in a man who didn’t have a home
He was left to wander alone
Nowhere to go, no place to rest
And nothing secure
Jesus, won’t you be the door
Jesus, won’t you be the door

I saw Jesus in a woman holding empty hands
Living out of empty cans
Her children starve, it’s been a while 
Since they were fed
Jesus, won’t you be the bread
Jesus, won’t you be the bread

I saw Jesus in a boy within a prison cell
What he’s done he cannot tell
Accusers lie, and so his life
Will end at youth
Jesus, won’t you be the truth
Jesus, won’t you be the truth

[I saw Jesus in a little girl of eight
In her hands she held her fate
Away from home the city’s cold
But she must stay
Jesus, won’t you be the way
Jesus, won’t you be the way]*

I saw Jesus in a baby who has not a prayer
Death and illness ever near
May last the night,
Tomorrow baby won’t survive
Jesus, won’t you be the life
Jesus, won't you be the life

[I saw Jesus in a people living under siege
Never having what they need
Their lives have been a horror
Of eternal night
Jesus, won’t you be the light
Jesus, won’t you be the light]*

Overwhelmed By the Blues

Au revoir M Le President
Au revoir et bon nuit
Vous n'avez pas la notre sympathie

Au revoir,  Nous sommes désolés 
Le puissant babouin, il a trompé
Overwhelmed by the Blues

You can't bring yourself to hear the bad news
No one taught you how to lose
Overwhelmed by the Blues

Not enough crosses - You didn't win
Far too comfortable  in your skin

Without your clothes now - We all see
You're a nought, a nothing  - History is what you are
The lame duck,  President Provisoire

Hero to zero in the blink of an eye
Not a tear to be shed as we wave you goodbye
Overwhelmed by the Blues

Au revoir, M  Le President
Au revoir et bon nuit
Overwhelmed by the Blues

Allez Maintenant!   Go find a wiper
One of your goons will change your diaper
You don't get no sympathy

Au revoir,  M Le President

Lyrics :
Verse 1
I was never someone who cry,
I was wrong maybe to denied.
Even when I'd seen the other side.
I'd hided my pain so deep inside.
Chorus
But today now i realise,
In the same way when i disagreed.
Still I'd know that i had no faith in me
What they said was a compromise.
Verse 2
Places I've seen, I've searched a million times
To find someone who understands my mind.
So many times I've told my share of lies,
Out of time bearing no disguise.
Chorus
But today now i realise,
In the same way when i disagreed.
Still I'd know that i had no faith in me
What they said was a compromise.
Ad-Lib End
I was never someone who cry,
I'd hided my pain so deep inside

everything sucks without you
