Perfect Future

'Clear signs' is a mournful track which deals with memory loss. The sentiment comes from time spent in a dementia unit with my Grandfather. This is a setting many of us have been confronted with. In my experience, there were glimpses of clarity and beauty, especially when singing old songs together. This song is a collaboration with my friend Robbie. It is Robbie on vocals, euphonium and percussion. I provided the guitars, mandolin and most of the lyrics. Full lyrics below:   

Fades in, fades out
Checks in, checks out
Clear signs are hard to find
Through the static

Tunes in, tunes out
Drops in, drops out
Clear signs are hard to find

An old friend brings a faded memory
A sweet song sings a soothing melody
Blue skies are calling through the clouds
Sundown and shadows crowd around
 
Tunes in, tunes out
Flows in, flows out
Hard signs are clear to find

Ease in, ease out
Glide in, glide out
Clear signs I here define

Cuts in, cuts out

Clear Signs

Lyrics:

Everything’s good and everything’s fine
I know what’s yours and I know what’s mine
I’ve got control over what I got
It don’t bother me that it’s not a lot
I’ve got no time for what you believe
Cuz I’m not stupid and I'm not naive
I don't know why it's so important to say
Doesn't matter if it’s true I'm going to tell you I’m okay.   

I don’t need to listen when you call it denial
All I ever need is my convincing smile
I got some friends who believe what I say
The others I don’t see a lot these days
Maybe its true that the country’s dying
Most everybody seems to have given up trying
But me I’m good and I’ve made the call
I’ll vote for that guy who says he will fix it all   

I’m OK
Pay no attention to what you see, believe me when I say
I’m OK   
You ask me if I want to have a chat
So you can ask again where I'm at
But I don’t have anything left to say
I already told you  I'm OK    

And when I tell you
That I’m ok
It don’t mean I’m good
It’s something I say
OK means     
You can leave me alone
I can be trusted to
Be on my own

You don’t know me
Though you think you do
You got no idea
What I’ve been through
I’ve done my tIme
That’s all I’m willing to say
No matter how it looks
All you need to know is I’m OK 

I aint go no privilege - at least not a lot
I’ve worked hard for everything I got
I never had any anything that aided me
I just worked hard and then they paid me
Now I’ve got this pile of stuff
One day I just might have enough
If I work hard enough on being OK
It might turn out to be true one day   

I’m OK
Pay no attention to what I do, believe me when I say
I’m OK   
It took me time to learn to be OK
But now I plan on staying that way
And I don’t anything left to say
Cuz I already told you I'm OK    
I already told you I'm OK

Everything's Good

This is an old Fuzzy Grubb song, the first one we wrote, and in our first practice.  Feels like home playing this one.  I miss those days, those nights, and the people who filled them.  Hope you enjoy it.  This song is for you all (you know who you are!)

This Night 

Verse 1: 

It just felt right.  It came on the air that night.  My eyes closed and I opened my arms. 

I smiled so wide, that pain brought a tear to my eye, and my dreams danced in the sky with the stars. 

Chorus:  

I don’t know what I feel anymore.  Not quite as empty as I was before 

Everything was right, uh huh, on this perfect night. 

Verse 2: 

Surrounded by friends.  Laughs that stirred up the past.  Campfire songs carry us into the night. 

A haze of beer and memories.  I felt something stir deep inside of me. 

One by one we all drifted to sleep. 

Chorus:  

I don’t know what I feel anymore.  Not quite as empty as I was before 

Everything was right, uh huh, on this perfect night. 

Bridge: 

I guess things were bound to change.  Familiar faces all faded away.   

Our circle of friends was falling apart.  Tonight we are kids again.  Living for dreams that haven’t died yet.   

This moment is everything and everything was right on this perfect night. 

This Night

Turned around and did it again. more upbeat track. Thanks for listening, and I hope you enjoy 🤩🙌🏾💯👊🏾🫵🏾

We need love

As Above So Below 
(Meredith Taylor & Frank X)
Lyrics:
The clock it ticks in silent nights
Echoes clicking in my head
Reflections glowing in corners of my mind
Dancing with my ghosts until they disappear
As above and so below

As above so below 
Stealing moments letting go
Chasing waves of all the years ago
Fading dreams and whispers out to sea
The stars still shining 
Shadows wade blue of moonlight

Wheels keep on turning 
My heart keeps on burning 
Now I'm still learning

As above  so below

As Above So Below - "As Above So Below"

[Verse 1]
I saw her by the lockers, smile like summer skies
Heart skipped a beat, didn’t know why
Brand new feelings in an old school hall
She looked my way—I felt ten feet tall

[Pre-Chorus]
But the bell rang loud and broke the spell
She walked away, and man, I fell

[Chorus]
It was the first time for everything
First blush, first rush, first heart on a string
Like a song you hum but don’t know how it ends
She was just a girl, but more than just a friend
It felt so right, but oh, it hurt so bad
That’s the magic and the madness young love has

[Verse 2]
We talked in class, passed notes real low
She’d laugh at my jokes, I’d steal the show
But she liked someone else, I found out late
Standing in the bleachers, hands in my jacket, watching fate

[Pre-Chorus]
Still, I held onto those movie scenes
Where the boy gets the girl of his dreams

[Chorus]
It was the first time for everything
First high, first cry, first bell that won't ring
Like a dance you dream but never quite begin
She was out the door before I could lean in
It felt so sweet, and yeah, it stung so sad
That’s the heaven and the heartbreak young love has

[Bridge]
Years roll on, but I still recall
That girl, that fall, that after-school hall
She never knew the songs I wrote
But she lit the fire, she struck the note

[Final Chorus]
It was the first time for everything
First ache, first break, first butterfly wing
Like a spark that fades but never really dies
She’s a memory now with big brown eyes
It felt like flying, then it crashed
But I’d do it all again—just like that

[Outro]
Yeah, it felt so right…
Even when it hurt so bad
That’s the beauty of the first love you ever had

First time for Everything

THE BURNING WITCH
