Lyrics:

i met you one Halloween
you were wearing jeans 
and a purple wig 

after that night i’ve been
haunted my whole life
don’t know where to begin

when i hugged you 
it never felt warm
it just felt like thorns
puncturing my skin 

when i loved you 
i was fading 
when i loved you 
always fading 

when i loved you 
i was fading 
when i loved you 
always fading  

we smoked for breakfast
and for lunch
and i had a hunch
but toned it down 

in fact, i toned down
many things for you 

when i loved you 
i was fading 
when i loved you 
always fading

when i loved you 
i was fading 
when i loved you 
always fading

you were there
all the time 
like a shadow
i couldn’t outrun 

lurking over my shoulder
manipulating my brain
saying you want what’s best for me 

but If you wanted what’s best
why’d you keep me in chains?

If you wanted what’s best
why’d you keep me in chains?

when i loved you 
i was fading 
when i loved you 
always fading

when i loved you 
i was fading 
when i loved you 
always fading

when i loved you 
i was fading 
when i loved you 
always fading

when i loved you 
i was fading 
when i loved you 
always fading

limelight horror, body terror
your past on a celluloid leash
hauled in to mask the hapless tremor
of neurons and genes, mirrored and selfish

a sky full of stars and the moral law
induce, produce, extrude and include
a common man’s somewhat hesitant awe
while AI assures it is ready to reboot

government agents raid homes in the nude
who will have seen claim that they saw
man’s not as nubile as a lemur
earth holds more ocean than there are fish

this is all dead weight, in the interim
learn to let go, the weltgeist insists
your heart is as pure as the code on the bin
a bird, a feather, an item, no lists

tally categorial - not for the faint of hearing

I’ll Be There

(Verse 1)
Every dog has its day
The early bird gets the worm, they say
A broken clock’s right twice a day
I don’t care much for cliché
You hold me down 
when I want to float
Your voice hits hard—
like a punch to the throat

(Verse 2)
They say time heals all, 
but the scars remain
Some lessons only come 
Through the pain
If I lose my way, 
you draw the map
If I fall apart, 
you close the gap

(Chorus)
I’ve got you, you’ve got me
One pod, two peas—it’s  that easy
Say the word, I’ll be there
Fight your fights, breathe your air
Without a doubt, I’ll be there.
(Verse 3)
Let the world spin mad,
 let the lights go black
I’ll still be here, I
’ve got your back
No rhyme, no reason—
just you and me
That kind of bond 
don’t come cheaply

(Chorus)
I’ve got you, you’ve got me
One pod, two peas—it’s  that easy
Say the word, I’ll be there
Fight your fights, breathe your air
Without a doubt, I’ll be there.

(Verse 1)
Every dog has its day
The early bird gets the worm, so they say
A broken clock’s right twice a day
I don’t care much for cliché
You hold me down 
when I want to float
Your voice hits hard—
like a sucker punch to the throat

(Chorus)
I’ve got you, you’ve got me
One pod, two peas—it’s  that easy
Say the word, I’ll be there
Fight your fights, breathe your air
Without a doubt, I’ll be there.


I'll Be There

LYRICS:



(Verse 1)
They cut the spirit
Leave it hollow
They cast the stones
Make it hard to follow
Empty plates and burning skies
A world of pain in disguise

(Pre-chorus)
But we hold the power
In our hands this hour

(Chorus)
No more chains
No more flames
We can stop the hurt
Rewrite the names
Build a bridge where the fire stood
Turn the ashes into something good

(Verse 2)
A whispered scream
A broken voice
A silent crowd without a choice
Hunger gnaws
The embers spread
We choose tomorrow or the dread

(Pre-chorus)
But hearts can gather
Break the curse forever

(Chorus)
No more chains
No more flames
We can stop the hurt
Rewrite the names
Build a bridge where the fire stood
Turn the ashes into something good

Pulled this old original song out a few days ago and have been polishing it up. I knew someone long ago that always dreamed of living in the Redwoods in California. Totally inspired me. This is one of those songs that came together over time. I hope you enjoy this live performance I did tonight on my lovely Baldwin piano (Polly) Thanks so much for listening out there! For Bee. 

Redwood Skies 

Standing on the sidewalk looking at the streetlight
Wishing you were here on this cold cold night 
I'd open up my jacket and wrap you up tight 
Letting all our heartbeats feel just right 

You're so beautiful
You don't even have to try
You're so beautiful 
I'll say it till the day I die
Ooo  Ooo Ooo yeah
Ooo Ooo Ooo yeah

Walking in the coldness thinking how the time flies
Craving our life under those redwood skies
I'll always hold your hand through the lows and the highs
Living would be hard without your soft blue eyes

You're so beautiful
You don't even have to try
You're so beautiful 
I'll say it till the day I die
Ooo  Ooo Ooo yeah
Ooo Ooo Ooo yeah

Sitting in the moonlight our moments on repeat
Falling for you harder missing your heartbeat 
Wanting just to hold you and whisper things sweet
Only you can make me feel complete Oh! 

You're so beautiful
You don't even have to try
You're so beautiful 
I'll say it till the day I die
You're so beautiful 
I'll say it till the day I die 
Ooo  Ooo Ooo yeah
Ooo Ooo Ooo yeah

Redwood skies will be ours
Redwood skies will be ours
Oh Oh

«Antonio». Op. 90. (2017).

So I try to post 1 song a month on here, I;ve been doing it since Covid. I came up short this year. This track is the one that's holding me up. So here it is without vocal tracks.

We suddenly lost our brother and my twin, Timothy, last weekend. 
Tim was born with developmental issues, and I was his legal guardian. We were very close and had that "twin" connection. He was also a wonderful soul.  As we struggle to make arrangements and process this, after a few days in a complete fog, I decided to post this song I had pending in his honor. It was not written for him, but some of the sentiments expressed here are universal and seemed fitting. Originally, I was going to say I was proud of the bridge, but now I appreciate you listening, and I hope you enjoy it.
Cherish your friends and family. Tell them you love them, and I hope you have a safe and Happy Holiday Season.

I have always loved "I Can't Help Falling In Love With You" recorded by Elvis in 1961. This is my raw version of the song.
