Vitamin Water

Hideaway

Lyrics and composition, piano and vocals by Joliz

April 2024

Three minutes before the bus …

Your words,
Your smile,
Eyes do not lie.

No love is meant to last
Just three minutes before the bus
Stops and takes you away from me,
Deprives me of your company.

No love is meant to last
Just three minutes before the bus
Comes and takes you away from me,
Leaves me to my destiny.

Cheek to cheek
Our will is weak.
Kiss me, kiss me
Let’s dive in deep.

Our tender hands 
Trying a shared life to pretend.
But three minutes can’t replace
A lifetime full of grace.

No love is meant to last
Just three minutes before the bus
Stops and takes you away from me,
Deprives me of your company.

No love is meant to last
Just three minutes before the bus
Comes and takes you away from me,
Leaves me to my destiny.

Cheek to cheek
Our will is weak.
Kiss me, kiss me,
Let’s dive in deep.

Our touch touches all,
Our body and our soul. 
But three minutes can’t replace
A lifetime full of grace.

No love is meant to last
Just three minutes before the bus
Stops and takes you away from me,
Deprives me of your company.

No love is meant to last
Just three minutes before the bus
Comes and takes you away from me,
Leaves me to my destiny.

Your words,
Your smile,
Eyes do not lie.

Diamonds Are Fire

Original track by Phil Dutton & Les Corlett
Lyrics...

Yeah I'm lazy,
People think I'm crazy,
There's not a lot,
That I can do.

Nothin' fazed me,
When they thought that they'd play me,
Because I like,
A drink or two.

It's been a long long long,
Long long long long,
Way down.

It's been a long long long,
Long long long long,
Way down.

I took my time girl,
I had to find the right pearl,
No plastic imitation,
Would do.

I hung around here,
You should have seen me last year,
I tried to make,
Your dreams come true.

It may sound drastic,
I tried to play my last trick,
Anythin' to try and get through.

I begged and pleaded,
and in the end I conceded,
So now I raise a glass to you.

It's been a long long long,
Long long long long,
Way down.

It's been a long long long,
Long long long long,
Way down.

Your words were drippin' honey,
They were makin' no sense,
I'm just another victim of circumstance.

I opened up a bottle and out it poured,
The tears I've been cryin',
For the one I adored.

It's been a long long long,
Long long long long,
Way down.

It's been a long long long,
Long long long long,
Way down.

Yellin' at Clouds

The Long Way Down

THE LONG WAY DOWN

One woman's search for what she's always wanted....

FEELIN IT

Une brève évocation de paysages de montagne
A brief evocation of mountain landscapes.

A Travers Les Montagnes

Song I wrote for someone special a few years back.

The Times They Are A-Changin' (Bob Dylan) Cover

2024 Greater Arizona Country Music Hall Of Fame Inductee Mike Breen began his musical career in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania playing guitar and singing bluegrass music.  After a few years at Penn State University studying creative writing and playing with the "Magnificent Truckstop Band" Mike moved to Phoenix, Arizona and immediately got a gig in a folk duo called 'Smith and Breen' performing at the Salt Cellar restaurant.  A year later Mike began a three year stint as a "Barnstormer" at The Windmill Dinner Theater.  During this time Mike met many musicians and songwriters including Darcie Deaville with whom he collaborated on stage and in the studio and co-wrote her Kerrville winning song 'Icy Barrel of a Loaded Gun.’

Mike released 2 Cds in the nineties -  "No Excuses" and "Past Lives" to critical acclaim (favorable reviews in "Dirty Linen," "Sing Out" and several other national publications) and started to have other artists record his songs which eventually led to a passion for recording.  Also, during this period of time Mike got the call to perform with the Red River Opry Band in Tempe, AZ and in 1996 got his first b bender telecaster which would eventually lead him to write and record a CD called "Mescal Mary and Other B Bender Guitar Instrumentals" which received notable reviews in many national publications including "20th Century Guitar." 

Mike's freelancing work on stage and in the studio has given him the opportunity to work with several country stars that would come through town including Jessi Colter (with whom he recorded tracks for her "Out Of The Ashes" CD produced by Don Was), John McKuen of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Doug Haywood of Jackson Browne's band, Hank Thompson, Colin Raye, Skip Ewing and opening for such artists as Roy Clarke, Jo Dee Messina, Confederate Railroad and Eddie Rabbitt as well as well as releasing more of his own work including "Apartment Living" and "All Night Long" which include some of Mike's most compelling songs.
Over the years Mike has gained an enthusiastic following for his "story songs" and has been a finalist in many songwriter competitions including 
The Tucson Folk Festival, The Sierra Songwriters Festival, The KRCL Songwriting Competition and The Lake County Folk Festival Songwriting Competition.  

 Currently, you can find Mike performing at the Rusty Spur Saloon in Old Town Scottsdale, AZ, The Musical Instrument Museum - The MIM - contributing to other projects including "Spirit Cave" with his son, Ryan, and composing and recording music for television and movies including the made for TV special "Walker, Texas Ranger - Trial by Fire,"  A&E's "Duck Dynasty" and "Intervention," Discovery Channel's "Sucking Amps," and "Auction Kings," A&E's "Biographies" on Bruce Willis, Halle Berry, Will Smith, Cuba Gooding Jr, Kevin Costner, Kevin Kline, Leonardo Di Caprio, Patrick Duffy, Owen Wilson, "Lassie's Pet Vet," NBC's "America's Got Talent," TLC's "Property Ladder," "My First Home,"  and "Toddlers And Tiaras,"The Discovery Channel's "Clinically Wild - Alaska," "ABC's Dance War: Bruno vs. Carrie Ann," "American Idol Rewind," "Wedding Central," "Farmer Wants A Wife" on the CW network, "Can You Duet" on CMT, "Clean House" on the Style Network, "Losing It, Tales From Fat Camp,"  "The Osbornes Reloaded," "Love Kills" on Investigation Discovery, "Blood Money" on the History Channel, "Aerial America: Yellowstone" on The Smithsonian Channel, "America's Got Talent" and the theme song for "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo."
