And as I went down
to the bottom of the sea
I looked up
and saw my face
in the mirror over me
beneath the waves

And as I safely returned
to the shore
I looked back
and saw myself
amongst the waves
evermore

Mirror

I can’t take my mind off you
I guess that you were long over due
And I don’t need to verbalize 
Cause I think you realize 
What you do to me girl

So let’s make the most of every minute we’ve got
You smell so good  and you look so hot
And there’s something in the way you walk
And there’s something in the way you talk
And there’s something in the way you smile 
That I just can’t put my finger on but I really like you
You make me feel much better than human has a right to

You make me feel so happy  You make me feel so good.
You make me soar so high.  Higher than I ever thought I could.

I don’t know how long this is gonna last
Although the fire is hot it can burn out so fast
So let’s do the best we can
And though we may not have a plan
Yeah we’ve got style 

We’ve got each other tonight and the feeling is right
Let’s go out and party until daylight
And there’s something in the way you walk
And there’s something in the way you talk
And there’s something in the way you smile 
That I just can’t put my finger on but I really like you
You make me feel so much better than a human as a right to

You make me feel happy.  You make me feel so good.
You make me soar so high.  Higher than I ever thought I could.

I’m attracted to your body I’m attracted to your mind
You’re the kind of woman that I thought I’d never find
I’m attracted to your body I’m attracted to your mind
You’re the kind of woman that I thought I’d never find

You make me feel so happy.  You make me feel so good.
You make me soar so high.  Higher than I ever thought I could.

I’m attracted to your body I’m attracted to your mind
You’re the kind of woman that I thought I’d never find

Quando il primo giorno
Lei entra in classe
Io vado fuori asse
Io vado fuori asse
Lei si siede tre file davanti alla mia
Io vado fuori asse
Io vado fuori asse

Perché lei
Non cammina
Ma sospende in aria l'esistenza sua
Non respira
Trasporta vento in questo mondo in cui
È così difficile parlarsi al giorno d'oggi sai
Per paura di guardarsi troppo in fondo
Agli occhi
Agli occhi

Perché lei
Non cammina
Ma sospende in aria l'esistenza sua
Non respira
Trasporta vento in questo mondo in cui
È così difficile parlarsi al giorno d'oggi sai
Per paura di guardarsi troppo in fondo
Agli occhi
Negli occhi

Drink Drugs And Traktor (jaKe's Inspired DJ Mix)

Cover of "Rondo Alla Turca" By Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
  
I transcribed it myself from a piano book for two guitars, with the rhythm guitar playing the left hand and the lead guitar playing the right hand.  I still enjoy playing the lead part today, but have long since forgotten the rhythm part.

As with all these old tracks, I wish the mix was better.  This is a good example of why you should always record a DI track.  If I had known that back then I could probably fix it now, without having to re-record the whole thing. 

The last part is a little sloppy.  I had been up all night recording and was getting tired.  I kind of rushed it because I just wanted to be done with it.  Looking back I wish I had spent a little extra time to get it right.  Another lesson learned I guess.

Lyrics:

I've been down on my time
Ruminating my lines
I've been thinking of you
Gotta get you out of my mind

I've been down on my time
Ruminating my lines
I've been thinking of you
Gotta get you out of my mind

In my head
I've walked this Earth
And paid my debt

Never rest
Now I'm free
And dispossessed 

I've been down on my time
Ruminating my lines
I've been thinking of you
Gotta get you out of my mind

I've been down on my time
Ruminating my lines
I've been thinking of you
Gotta get you out of my mind

Come lay low
In the dark
And under snow

Rest my bones
By the graves where
No one goes

Leave me here
I just want to
Disappear

Turning blue
Terrified that
I love you

I've been down on my time
Ruminating my lines
I've been thinking of you
Gotta get you out of my mind

I've been down on my time
Ruminating my lines
I've been thinking of you
Gotta get you out of my mind

I've been down on my time
Ruminating my lines
I've been thinking of you
Gotta get you out of my mind

I've been down on my time
Ruminating my lines
I've been thinking of you
Gotta get you out of my mind

This is a bit of a hybrid that combines mostly acoustic instruments with a pop/rock sort of treatment including a distorted electric guitar break. The song relates the history of young love, college age, still kids, that eventually gives way to growth which ultimately brings the passion to an end. Recalling how they both provided security and understanding at the volatile time when kids evolve into adults, until, for one of them, it was no longer needed.

My thanks again to Nat Daniels of Gentle Rain Records for her wonderful production work to help clean up the old base tracks I had created some years ago.

Lyrics:
Those were the stormy days, uncertain, lonely phase
Feeling misunderstood, missed the old neighborhood
Parents that just don’t see, the things we really need
But in one passing glance, love gave us helping hands

I saw you cry and I touched your face
Your tears would dry within my embrace
You and I were just kids, but that’s what loving you did

The moonlight on your breast, my heart leaped through my chest
Lying there by the shore, needing you more and more
But when the dawn came through I saw a brighter you
Much stronger and content, left watching as you went

I saw you cry and I touched your face
Your tears would dry within my embrace
You and I were just kids, but that’s what loving you did

Those were such nascent times, songs of love and easy rhymes
You were fresh and flesh supreme, I was so green
Does that change anything right now, does it solve my heart
Sweat that drips from my brow, passion torn apart

I saw you cry and I touched your face
Your tears would dry within my embrace
You and I were just kids, but that’s what loving you did
We were only kids, but that’s what loving you did
We were only kids, but that’s what loving you did
