A love song..

LYRICS:

All the time we spent apart
I never missed one beat
One beat of your heart
We fall in and out of favour
with the critics of our own design
The cruellest words were yours
Yours and mine
Yours and mine

And all the miles we drove to talk
I never though for a second we could have walked
On tripping over a shoelace
I realised I hadn't tied
it was brought to my attention
that I'd never really been outside
Let's go outside
Let's go outside

Because the night is young
and the light of the moon
will guide our frightened tongues
to loosen, but it's too soon
to tell our right from wrong
Hold me tight
The song is alive
No excuses
Cut me loose
It's not a nuisance
It's a first kiss

Outside

Home

Electric guitar is absent --- Bass and Acoustic lead the way .
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I wish you were the one that could
Bring up the sun, instead
You bring out the dark and soot
Am I good enough for you? Am I good enough for you?
Put on a front, I hide
What's killing me most inside
Oh, I stay to myself, "I'm fine"
Is what I'd say to you, am I good enough for you?

Say that you'll be mine
Well you lied, well you lied
I tend to stay aside
While you try to be some kind

You were the one that would
Bring up the sun, instead
You bring out the dark and soot
Am I good enough for you? Am I good enough for you?

Say that you'll be mine
Well you lied, well you lied
I tend to stay aside
While you try to be some kind

All done, it's out there
And everything inside is just alright
Far from complete here
That's okay, I'm still alive, I fight
I fight

You were the one that could
Bring up the sun, instead
Oh, I stay to myself, "I'm fine"
Is what I'd say to you, am I good enough for you?

Some Kind

lyrics-

i spend most nights wandering in my head
and losing sleep to the memories that i had
i need to learn to let go
i need to find a new home

my days are filled with dreams of places i'd rather be
where the sky is clear, and there's just the wind to hear

i need to learn to let go
i need to find a new home
where the sky is clear
and there's just the wind to hear

i knew i was old enough to love you
and that truth will haunt me everyday
i wasted all of my time with you
and that's life i mas as well erase

i knew i was old enough to love you
and that truth will haunt me everyday
i wasted all of my time with you
and that's life i mas as well erase

my life was so invested in you
and that fact will haunt me everyday
i wasted so much of my life with you
and that's life that'll never be replaced

Urge for tears

paypal.me/HaleenMusic


Escaped from the lands
Of fear and trembling
The body's image has gone
Awaits your maker
A savage place as holy and enchanted
I am crawling 'cause I'm no saint
Thoughts in twirl
Spinning in circles
Spinning in circles
Healing healing from the past
Healing healing from the past
A savage place as holy and enchanted
I am crawling 'cause I'm no saint
Thoughts in twirl
Spinning in circles
Spinning in circles
Healing healing from the past

Even today, modern politicians are educated by what's been dubbed a "manual of statecraft", penned by the so-called Father of Modern Political Philosophy and Political Science, the 16th century Venetian, Niccolò Machiavelli. 

In Machiavelli's book, The Prince, they are taught that no matter how evil the means that they employ are, to achieve victory, the ends will justify those means. Then as the victors, all they have to do is to rewrite the history, to present themselves as the good guys. 

I'm very grateful to Mark Combstead for providing such great rock music for this poem. You can find him here: https://soundcloud.com/markcombs-928282858

Words:

Last night, I dreamed of Machiavelli,
 Who, it seems, hasn’t learned much since the days of the Medici. 
 His pretext of seizing power for the ‘good of God’,
 Was straight out of the playbook of Cesar Borgia....
 So it seemed from my talk with poor, deluded Niccolo.
 
 Looking into my eyes and holding my hands
 He plied me with cunning plots and plans,
 Dripping in evil criminality, and base intent
 To create chaos for the existing world order
 No means was too foul, not even murder.
 
 The end will justify the means, my dear,
 Don’t worry your pretty head. 
 He said. 
 I wasn’t buying it, though, 
And so I said:	
 
 All around us in the world today that we see,
 Has been caused by those with such a strategy.
 The end doesn’t justify the means, at all.
 It is the means themselves which create the evil
 Of famine, pollution and perpetual war,
 Driven by madness, greed and holy preachings;
 This is the end created by your teachings. 
 We now have nation pitted against nation,
 Because the way, the means, IS the destination.

Machiavelli

It seems to me that many people these days make more effort to separate themselves from others than to compare themselves with others. Both are triggers for unhappiness, in my opinion, but it's something more than that.

This song has very few bass parts. Most parts use an 8-string guitar. This is the result of avoiding the competition between the bass and the area of existence. I did slaps, thumbs, tapping, and all sorts of other things. It took me a long time to finish the song because there were so many parts I had to practice and I had tendonitis....hahahaha

90's inspired Rock made in Metro Detroit.

Breaking all the lessons, from the ones that never try.
Gather up some sympathy, hanging on like suicide.
Now casting those of us who want to see.
A shadow of our former self, so what's it gonna be this time.

My mind is all tore up and finally broken.
Got some blame to spread around, ramping up to wind it down.
I saw the world explode with phony rage and truth unspoken.
No one made a single sound, we're ramping up to wind it down.

And it's safe to say I can't afford another day.
On the stage of common ground, beginning's end can not be found.
Who and what we'll never be, and all the things we can't receive.

My mind is all tore up and finally broken. 
Got some blame to spread around, ramping up to wind it down.
I saw the world explode with phony rage and truth unspoken.
No one made a single sound, we're ramping up to wind it down.

Giving up to wind it down.

HAND ON MY HEART
(Snyder/Combs)

(WE GOT THIS)
MY JETS ARE GOIN’ AND THAT AIN’T SHIT
IT DOESN’T MATTER ‘CAUSE I’M NOT GONNA QUIT
AFTERBURNERS GOIN’ AND I’M COOL IN MY SEAT
NOTHINGS GONNA STOP ME ‘TIL I SEE YOUR SWEET

(OH, YOU LOOK SO GOOD)
I GOT MY HAND ON MY HEART
YOU GOT ME FROM THE START
YOU KNOW, I GOT MY HAND ON MY HEART

WE’RE GOING TO THE SHOW IN MY ELECTRIC CAR
THE BAND IS UP AND COMING AND UNDER THE RADAR
IT’LL BE A FUN NIGHT FOR ALL TO BE HAD
AFTER WE ARRIVED IT’S A BLUR, BUT NOT BAD

I TOOK A SHORT CUT HOME IN THE RAIN
IT WAS WINDY AND COLD AND A REAL PAIN
MY TIRES SPUN ON THE SLICK DIRT ROAD
WHAT I DIDN’T SEE WAS THE OLD, OLD

(I DON’T KNOW WHAT IT WAS)
I GOT MY HAND ON MY HEART
OH, IT GOT ME FROM THE START
YOU KNOW, I GOT MY HAND ON MY HEART
(IT GOT ME) IT GOT ME FROM THE START
I GOT MY HAND ON MY HEART, OH, OH
