Lyrics

In the darkest hue
With the curtains drawn,
Suddenly my lights flickered,
And I heard her song,
Hey! You in the dark,
In the darkening hue,
This is the banshee,
I’ve come for you. 

I am the banshee
The banshee you know,
You have had your time,
Now It’s time for you to go. 

I know you’re way too cheap
To hitch a ride,
So I’ve personally come,
But I’m too young I cried
I don’t want to go,
But it was too late,
We were already down the road. 

And she picked up those who’d strayed,
And she picked up those who were strong, 
And she picked up those who’d blessed us,
And she picked up those who were wrong.
And she picked up those who had lost their voice,
And taught them how to scream this song. 

I am the banshee
The banshee you know,
You have had your time,
Now It’s time for you to go. 

I am the banshee
The banshee you know,
When the young ones come,
The old’s got to go
If you’ve heard me,
It’s already too late. 

I am the banshee
The banshee you know,
You have had your time,
Now It’s time for you to go. 

And she picked up by those who’d prayed,
And she picked up those who were good, 
And she picked up those who’d confessed,
And she picked anyone she could,
And she picked up those who had lost their voice,
Taught them how to scream this song. 

I am the banshee
The banshee you know,
You have had your time,
Now It’s time for you to go. 


A Banshee is a death-spirit native to Celtic mythology and was regarded either as a type of fairy or a ghost, regardless of origin a Banshee was always seen as an omen of death and her screaming was said to be heard by those destined to die

The Banshee Of The Darkest Hue (feat. Finn Eces)

To my youngest boy

Lyrics:

Take one step, my son
Then another
You may stumble
But I’m here to help you through. 
Young legs take time to strengthen,
That’s why I’m here until they do.

Take small steps, my son
Then another
I’ll be with you,
To help you make them your own.
Young boys take time to strengthen,
And I won’t stop until your grown.

Chorus
And for those steps 
That await your future
When all seems lost
And hope despairs,
When my hand’s too weak to catch you,
Remember a father is always there,
A father is always there.

Take those steps, my son,
When you’re older,
Keep on moving
In the direction you need,
Young men take time to strengthen,
And soon you’ll be the one to lead.

Take One Step (feat. Finn Eces)

Sent lyrics to Finn  from halfway around the world. He then enhanced and modified them and wrote the music.  The tracks were laid down with additional help from Johnny McFarlane and his excellent guitar playing.

You have to love SoundCloud for the ability to collaborate no matter where you are in the world!

Lyrics

If I could write something profound
I would
Make you laugh and be your clown
I would
Lift your thoughts when they are down,
I would
If I could always be around
I would
 
If I could flash a smile to make your day
I would
Strike a match I knew would light your way,
I would
 
If I could sing the songs that said it all
I would
If I could take your blame and take the fall
I would

If I could write something profound
I would

Something Profound (feat Finn Eces)

Finn deserves full credit for this song. I sent him the lyrics and he brought them to life.  I had planned on laying down synths, but after listening to his version, I told him it was already a stand-alone song. He told me he had used 70 tracks to make it.  70 tracks!!!


I want to do something
That I never have done,
To make one last stand
With my back to the sun
Swim out to sea
and sink to the depths,
Be as a fish in my final breath
Won’t you join me?

Something I've Never Done (feat. Finn Eces)

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.
