Purple Microdot The Allure Pt. 2

Written from the purple microdots (acid) point of view, as
the human becomes the drug, the drug becomes the human. Some of the lyrics are different. Enjoy!!!

This that acid drop—- mind corrupt
Drop that purple microdot
Fear not ——if the time stops——
and the clock refuse to TikTok
Full throttle—speeding-roadblock
brain cell just don’t give a fuck
Tie dye—-sandals ——dreadlocks
Woodstock —type ——Hip-Hop
mesmerized by the kilowatt
my brain ——become a hotspot
Am I human——Am I God——
preparing for ——-the aftershock
the aftershock——-the aftershock
Hell yeah———— and why not ——it’s still that purple
microdot—-microdot—— microdot

Chorus
Think twice before you say no
Charisma —-come on let’s go
The moves —-without Ego
The smile —-or the combo
It’s good times —-and Convo
Cant avoid it—-so you want some more
The allure —-of an outlaw (X3)

Guitar riffs and jazz lines ——like rainbows and sunshine
No limits no guidelines——I’ll start off with a peace sign
don’t even try to undermine——Or I’ll peal back your hairline —
Love it when the stars align——You know I’mer get mine
time stop ———-brain cells begin to pop
From the bottom to the top ——a mental——hotspot
Mesmerizing sound —-kicking kilowatts
From that purple microdot

God status—-here we go at last—-
from the bottom to the top —break that hour glass——
So why you think your teeth are shattering ———so damn fast
It a personal experience—-a one man class
No sleep for those who know ———-the afterglow
Are Y’all ready for the show—Y’all ready for the show…..
no malice establish—-and it’s hitting on the spot
A God’s made —-for love—-that—— purple microdot
This that aftershock—-that aftershock—that aftershock
From that acid drop ———Mind corrupt —Mind corrupt
time stop ———-brain cell begin to pop
From the bottom to the top ——a mental——hotspot
Mesmerizing sound —-kicking kilowatts
From that purple microdot —-From that purple microdot

——Chorus ——

Feeding off the sound like a starving vampire
music in my blood turns a spark into fire
The progeny of lyrics—-rhythm tunes—-desire
Made to Pierce your soul ——like a suit of Bob-wire
Hang tight and ride this storm of ——forget me Nut
Left-brain—right track—it’s called —-purple microdot
And you know I’ll be here—— from —-time to time
Fucking with your mind ————at the drop of a dime
Underground—-under the tongue—-paint a mental picture
yo—you’ll never really know when the acids gonna hit ya

One thing about being retired is that you can easily get lost composing music -- and conveniently forget you have tons of stuff left to unpack from your last assignment as well as a spouse who is calling for help but you can't hear because the music is so loud the walls are reverberating.

Blended By The Sound

Living long enough, you'll eventually have those that passed on that you either have good memories of them or bad.  This song is for those happy memories, for those people who made our life worthwhile while living and continues to bring smiles to our thoughts many years after they left this earth.

The first lyrics (see below) was about a boy wanting to live up to his father.  But If I were to re-write lyrics, I would write about a town who remembered such a person.  Who even after suffering setbacks and hardships in life, still stood out as someone who would brighten your day.

And for the Sunday crowd look up Proverbs 10:7.

First Start:
Verse 1:
G D/F# Em
There's a young boy in this town,
C G D
With a dream that's going 'round,
G D/F# Em
He wants to be like his old man,
C G D
Strong and kind, with calloused hands.

Chorus:
G D/F# Em
He'll honor his dad with all his might,
C G D
He'll be a hero in his father's eyes,
G D/F# Em
He'll work hard every single day,
C G D
And make his dad proud in every way.

Verse 2:
G D/F# Em
He listens closely to his dad's advice,
C G D
And tries to be the man he would like,
G D/F# Em
He sees his dad as a guiding light,
C G D
And follows him both day and night.

Chorus:
G D/F# Em
He'll honor his dad with all his might,
C G D
He'll be a hero in his father's eyes,
G D/F# Em
He'll work hard every single day,
C G D
And make his dad proud in every way.

Bridge:
Am C G
And when the day finally comes,
Am C G
And the young boy is a man,
Am C G
He'll stand tall like his dad,
Am C D
And do the best that he can.

Chorus:
G D/F# Em
He'll honor his dad with all his might,
C G D
He'll be a hero in his father's eyes,
G D/F# Em
He'll work hard every single day,
C G D
And make his dad proud in every way.

Outro:
G D/F# Em
There's a young boy in this town,
C G D
With a dream that's going 'round,
G D/F# Em
He'll honor his dad with all his might,
C G D
And make him proud every single night.

Happy Memories

Gentle Winds

A reflection on the finality of life.

On and on,
Life goes on,
On and on,
Nothing new under the sun.

Man lies down,
In the ground,
Turns to dust,
Wind blows him around.

On and on.
Life goes on.
On and on,
Nothing new under the sun.

On And On

Winter Heat

I’m a song-writer who enjoys creating music of any genre.

My son recently introduced me to A.I. and taught me how to do covers of my previously released non-A.I. music. Since I've never considered myself a performer (except playing with worship bands at church or solo-piano at a rehab center) using A.I. is right up my alley.

Since I've  exhausted using my previously released music for A.I. covers, I now compose music in a DAW, rip to a wave file, and make an A.I. cover of this wave file. I then write lyrics to the A.I. music. It takes around 100 A.I. iterations to complete the lyrics and get a style I'm happy with.  

Brief Bio: Lived more than a quarter of my life overseas (Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Turkiye, Italy, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan). Each country gave me an appreciation for different types of music plus probably why I get bored easily in sticking with one genre or another.
