"Be Strong, Be Patient"

Be strong, be patient with whatever comes your way
These words have meaning for someone else today
'Cause when I'm down and feeling pain
My persistence starts to wane
Be strong, be patient is what I always hear
All the things that I desire, supposedly, are near
But I've grown tired of the wait
And the fickle hand of fate
(I've lost faith)
Be strong, be patient
Like a chorus they repeat
The path of good intentions was made for other feet
I've grown tired of this state
And the hour is getting late
It's late...
Be strong, be patient
Is what they always say

There's a time to be a baby seed
And a time to play among the weeds
There's a time for bending like a reed
And a time to be strong, just like an old oak tree
There's a time to feel the winter's chill
And a time to be still as it thunders and it rains
There's a time when a loss turns into gain
There's a time to wish on every star above
And a time to be loved, hey yeah
And to love, hey yeah
There's a time to say just one more last goodbye
And a time to be born and to die, hey yeah
There's a time for laughter and for tears, hey yeah
And a time to while away the years, hey yeah
(There go the years)
There's a time for being who you are, hey yeah
There's a time for sunsets and sunrise, hey yeah
(Newborn babies' eyes)
There's a time to hold and to kiss, hey yeah
(Rainbows in the sky)
There's a time to give and time to take

Nothing But The Truth

i've been so sad and lonely, (dimitrios bitzenis remix of "two inches")

...from the cd "emilia's notebook" which is the abc's, days of the week, and numbers, recited and sung, in english, spanish, french, and greek...created to form the specific language phonemes (of the cultural roots of my daughter, emilia) it was awarded by Parent's Choice...

Greek - ABC (Sung)

...from my release "speak to me"...setting up a phone tap, i recorded all my phone conversations for seven months, transcribed all that was being said, coded it by subject (love, holidays, death, relationships, etc.) and then manually spliced voices together of people who'd never met, to create aural collages...finally, i put music behind the theater of voices...undoubtedly one of my most creative and psychologically cathartic works...friends were reticent to call me, fearing they'd have some blooper immortalized...

I Trust You

...from the "king prawn" cd...

"I'm A Dreamer"

i believe in rainbow’s gold
lucky charms
knock on wood
horoscopes
shooting stars
hand of god
twist of fate
i believe in youthful things
life’s naive
innocence
eternal springs
make believe
hand of god
twist of fate
i talk to trees
and bless each sneeze
i'm in a blissful peace
i'm a dreamer
i live in a dream
it’s my reality
i believe what goes around comes around
that a soul could return to this earthly ground
hand of god
twist of fate
i talk to trees
and bless each sneeze
i'm in a blissful peace
i'm a dreamer
i live in a dream
it’s my reality
I’m a dreamer


I'm A Dreamer

...from the "it takes two" cd...a cd almost completely about relationships...and this song is the conclusion...don't blame someone else, it's all you!


"It Takes Two To Tango"


You tell me that he really hurt you
Hurt you, oh, so bad
You wonder how he could desert you
God, he made you mad
Were you nothing but a victim
Did you never have a choice
It takes two to tango
Didn't you wear familiar clothes
The ones you wear so well
Didn't you blush just like a rose
On your way to hell
Were you nothing but a victim
Did you never have a choice
It takes two to tango
Were you nothing but a victim
Did you never have a choice
It takes two to tango
Weren't you once head over heels
Weren't you, oh, so sure
If she's to blame for how you feel
Who will be the cure
Were you nothing but a victim
Did you never have a choice
Oh, it takes two to tango
Hey, now, even if your arm was twisted
What happened to your voice
Oh, it takes two to tango
 



It Takes Two To Tango

...from the cd "speak to me"...an example of life imitating art?  or how we create reality?  this is, undoubtedly, one of the most unique tracks on a very unique disc...some guy buys a phone credit card and starts calling people in the los angeles music connection to...to connect!  

I'm A Songwriter Myself

...from "emilia's notebook"...coming up with interesting lyrics proved a challenge!  :-D

English - Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday (Sung)

...from "emilia's notebook", by paul voudouris...the importance of this work is not to learn the alphabet, numbers, and days of the week, but to form the phonemes (sound clusters) in the developing brain...phonemes begin to atrophy as of 12 months and up to eight years old...exposing the sounds (phonemes) of the languages you think your child will (want to) speak at an early age insures that his/her accent in those languages will not end up sounding like j.r. ewing...uuuuggghhhh.....parent's choice award winner...

Français - ABC (Chanté)

This composition was inspired while sitting in a blind with my friend, who’d invited me to participate in one of his passions; hunting.   Experiencing the poignant juxtaposition of innocence and knowledge was, for me, something I wanted to develop and express in a song.

Into The Blind

Remix of the single by Dimitrios Bitzenis.
