Great combo, Janice, Bud & Floyd... A winner!!!

A lot could be said about this track...but suffice to say...I managed to pull together a top notch crew and we did something that makes me feel...well like a rocker.

Chris S. Guitar. Lead Vocals.
Al Z. Rhythm Guitar
Thom Dust. Lead Guitar 
Jeff M. Bass, Production.

This is a high water mark for my journey...I don't necessarily need you to understand it...but perhaps just pay witness to it!  

Much love my friends

Bottom Land
I've been suffocating in this dank bottom land
There's never a leaf moving in the bottom land
The heat's been pressin' me down like God's own hand

I dreamed it's different over Jerusalem ridge 
I've heard tales of peace beyond the ridge
Family says you ain't leaving, this is your heritage

Five generations have left nothing to call my own
Blood feuds and murder, nothing to call my own
Less I count seven sunken graves with one field stone 

I could wake up and walk off the land tomorrow
Head down the road, stick out a thumb tomorrow 
Nothing here but a trailer and a row too long to hoe

Soon a new Freestyle in preparation

We practice the art of cheating fate,
But we live too little and chance too late,
And just like a talking head of state,
Whose missiles for peace will vanquish hate,
Our words follow us to ruin.

Words To Ruin

Kristallenergie

Do we attack your sensibilities
With our politeness and charm?
With our desire for everyone to be respected
And a wish to see no harm?

Our radical ideas
They trigger a thousand fears
You make it perfectly clear
We are not welcome here

Hold on, did you accuse us of hysteria
‘Cos that seems the wrong way ‘round
But then again it seems we’re in two different worlds
And yours is upside down

Our radical ideas
They trigger a thousand fears
You make it perfectly clear
We are not welcome here

But if we’re fighting for a better world
Then we had better stay
Cos leaving things to selfish minds
Will only go one way

If all you can give is hate
And all you can do is berate
Then you make it perfectly clear
You are not welcome here

Radical Ideas

hom·i·cide
/ˈhäməˌsīd/
noun

the killing of one person by another.
