"It rains, it pours. It rains so hard, it rains so hard all day.
That all the boys in our school, went outside to play.
They tossed a ball again so high, then again so low.
They tossed into a flower garden, where no one was allowed to go.
Out stepped this gypsy lady, all dressed in yellow and green.
Come in, come in my pretty little boy, and get your ball from me.

And the children our dancing, but they don't know why
And the grasshopper is soaring, never knew how to fly
And we all may be roaring, but we don't know how to die
And it certainly wouldn't hurt to try.

At first she showed him an appleseed, then a gold ring
Then she showed him a diamond and that enticed him in.
She took him by his lilly white hands, she led him down the hall.
She took him to an upper room, where no one could hear him call."

Fatal Flower Garden

Recorded on a cold winters night in Kalamazoo. Michigan. The house was without heat, and we were bored. We decided to work on things. This was one of the brighter moments. 

This is a new single off the forthcoming album slated for early 2024. Late editions to the record pushed back the date a bit. 

Along with this song, the entire album was mastered by long time friend, Producer/DJ Logan Huiskamp.

YaMze - Dakota (Acoustic Version)

In Greek mythology, Eros (/ˈɪərɒs/ or US /ˈɛrɒs/, /ˈɛroʊs/;[2] Greek: Ἔρως, "Desire")was the Greek god of love. His Roman counterpart was Cupid ("desire"). Some myths make him a primordial god, while in other myths, he is the son of Aphrodite. He was one of the winged love gods, Erotes.
