I can't remember what it feels like to be ok.

Took a quick break from studying for the finance midterm and writing an ethics paper, by hitting record.

Spiritual, soulful, emotional, kinda describes my life right about now.

My latest project Red Machine USA is adding a guitarist. Brazilian-native, Rajiv Andrade. Here's one of our first jams at Hit Wall Studios.

Don’t Forget Me by Owen Corso
G D C G the whole time pretty much.

With all my friends around, I take my very last breath, I love you.
When I’m gone don’t ya, don’t ya forget about me. Light a candle.
When this life is over, you got nothing else left.
It’s time to say goodbye.

Lady Momma, i love you so much, don’t forget me.
All my friends around, I got nothing left, don’t forget me.


Oh, this life is short, you can’t forget that.
Oh.
Lady momma, so sad to see you go, don’t forget me.
Lady momma, don’t forget me my whole life.

Baby darling, i loved you the best i could, don’t forget me. 
When I’m down on my knees and I start to pray that you won’t forget me.
Whoa. Don’t forget me.

All my friends around, i’m not gonna make it very much longer.
I don’t know why it has to be like this but sometimes you don’t get to choose.
Lady momma, so sad to see you go, don’t forget me.

Lady lovely, I know i loved you so but don’t forget me.

Lady momma, don’t forget me. No.

Sweet. These sweet dreams we have shared. Don’t forget them.
These sweet dreams, they’re worth living for.
These sweet dreams. It’s worth living for.


Don’t forget me when I’m gone. These words. Don’t forget me.

Dont Forget Me (11-3-2015 alpha)

Sometimes I come across old recordings and it takes me back to where I was at that time.

Here's one from the summer of 2004 down at the Jersey Shore in Manasquan jamming with Mike Collado.

This song eventually went on the album, "Lies, Lust, and Love."

O Red - Need (Alpha)

I got the call today, I didn't want to hear
But I knew that it would come
An old, true friend of ours was talkin' on the phone
She said you found someone
And I thought of all the bad luck
And the struggles we went through
And how I lost me and you lost you
What are these voices outside love's open door
Make us throw off our contentment
And beg for something more?

I'm learning to live without you now
But I miss you sometimes
The more I know, the less I understand,
All the things I thought I knew, I'm learning again
I've been tryin' to get down
To the heart of the matter
But my will gets weak
And my thoughts seem to scatter
But I think it's about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore

Ah, these times are so uncertain
There's a yearning undefined
And People filled with rage
We all need a little tenderness
How can love survive in such a graceless age?
Ah, the trust and self-assurance that lead to happiness
They're the very things we kill, I guess
Ohh, pride and competition
Cannot fill these empty arms
And the work I put between us, you know it doesn't keep me warm

I'm learning to live with out you now
But I miss you, baby
And the more I know, the less I understand
All the things I thought I'd figured out
I have to learn again
I've been trying to get down
To the heart of the matter
But everything changes
And my friends seem to scatter
But I think it's about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore

There are people in your life
Who've come and gone
They let you down
You know they hurt your pride
You better put it all behind you baby
'Cause life goes on
You keep carryin' that anger
It'll eat you up inside baby

I've been trying to get down
To the heart of the matter
But my will gets weak
And my thoughts seem to scatter
But I think it's about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don't love me

I've been tryin' to get down
To the heart of the matter
Because the flesh will get weak
And the ashes will scatter
So, I'm thinkin' about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if , even if you don't love me

Forgiveness, yeah, forgiveness, baby
Forgiveness, ohh, forgiveness ahh yeah
Forgiveness, ohh, forgiveness
Even if, you don't love me anymore
Forgiveness, forgiveness
Forgiveness, forgiveness
Forgiveness, forgiveness

Heart of the Matter

20170730 Beat - It

Recorded 9/26/2017 at O Red Studios [gramercy]
Words and music by Owen Corso

If you could flee from the burdens that I bring you, 
there wouldn’t be a reason to stay and work it out.
But here you are, the only friend I know
who loves and understands me.
I’m lucky to call you family.

With you before me,
I would stand firm in my devotion
‘till kingdom come

No matter what things we might say,
no matter what has gone before,
wouldn’t bring us to our knees,
wouldn’t burn us to the ground.

Please be here that way.
Please be here that way.

With you before me,
I would stand firm in my devotion
‘till kingdom come.

The sun may rise
and the sun will set.
We choose to be there,
we choose to put such beautiful art before our eyes.
Day by day, every step we take
wouldn’t bring our love further away.
I’ll be holding you close just to keep you warm.

With you before me,
I would stand firm in my devotion
‘till kingdom come.

You could never fall.
You could never fall away.

With you before me,
I would stand firm in my devotion
‘till kingdom come.
