A lovely song - great vocals and harmonies!

Fabulous, sweet track!! One of my favorites of yours among dozens! (My earlier much more brilliant comment seems to have disappeared!) Cheers!

Seems like you've got really good at layers and counter melodies recently. Fine writing as ALWAYS!

One More Day

Just Because

A song for Amy

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

northern hemisphere
coffee warming
you are with me dear
misty morning
the news is dreadful
again
i’ve got a headful
but then
you and your crimson nightgown
from way back when


southern hemisphere
1990
you were with me dear
we were briny
the tanks were empty
again
we went to fill them
and then
a drive to Saba cliffside
with our new friends


we have memories           (we go way back)
but we’re not done yet
come ride beside me        (while we still can)
again
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks to Janine Levinson, Wheelwright, and Cheesemont Paisley-Paisley for early listening.

Love Song #1000

Hangers
on
They're all
gone

Is it too late?
I'm indifferent til
I break
The screaming doubt

So hold
Your tongue
Don't save
the world

Like you said you would
Like you said you would

Do you think
You're the king without the crown?
It wears me down

If we stop
staring at the new gold
maybe we just let go
Only if we could

Someone's saving face
in this awful race
and we never got past the starting line

Someone's gone to waste
in this endless race
are we part of the problem just passing by

Someone's saving face
in this awful race
And we never got past the starting line

Someone's empty space
in this awful race
Am I part of the problem
just passing by

Don't hold your tongue
Don't save the world

Paul McKeever's Album

Part of the Problem

Terrestrial Life

PCH/Box Breathing

Back around 2015, I started taking guitar lessons from an instructor who was really into Bluegrass Music. I soon discovered that didn't have an aptitude for the guitar and didn't have a great desire to practice enough to make up for any natural ability. 
I did mention to my instructor that I had written a couple of songs and maybe our time would be better spent learning how to record these songs.
One day I tried to write a 'bluegrass" tune and titled it, "I've Done It Again." We recorded it. Years later, I wanted to revisit some of my earlier recordings and see what they might sound like with professional musicians. Nicky V. Hines, currently the lead guitarist with Shenandoah acted as musical director, guitarist, arranger, engineer, and producer for me on this finally finished new version. (Several versions have been posted on my SC page throughout the years. This will be the Spotify, Apple, Amazon etc version of which I shall make .002 of a penny every time it is played.) On bass is Martin Motnik currently a member of the popular European Heavy Metal Band "Accept." (Trust me, I have no idea how a country bumpkin like me ended up working with Heavy Metal - but I dig it.) On keyboards is the wonderful Tim McDonald , out of Nashville. On drums is another Nashvillian, Travis L.. Super people and very, very talented and experienced.
I like this version very much - musically. I think the mix is excellent (Nicky V. Hines) and I like how he took down the reverb on the vocal, it sounds a bit edgier, a little more vulnerable, and real. 
What's the song about? It's about not being able to take off the "masks" and take down the walls . Although "good lover" is sexual certainly sounding - we can mess up good love in other ways too - family, friends, etc. And, although we can deeply feel the pain of our actions, sometimes we just can't seem to get out of our own way. 
It is a song about being human. Thank you Nicky!

I've Done It Again

Inspired by Brennan Manning's The Ragamuffin Gospel and for all my fellow ragamuffin brothers and sisters.

Mercy Me

Love in fear
still hopeful eyes
still hopeful eyes

Ready for the big surprise
All ghosts will rise
will rise

Milk every teardrop
til we die
through gaslit eyes
We hold on for dear life

Now we dream in daily news
it all comes true
it all comes true

So we're stuck like treacle glue
it's all for you
it's all for you

Milk every teardrop
til we die
gaslit eyes
hold on for dear life

Scream to me the daily news
it must be true
it must be true..

Dear Life

Recorded early this morning on my phone, a simple take when it was quiet.
I am finding it quite difficult to play my guitar now because of my arthritis, so  good to play a little. 
Happy Solstice to all of you!!

Scene in my dreams: song electronic, synthesizers guitar and vocals
art work: one of my old pencil drawings
lyrics:
As the night draws in
it casts shadows from the trees
high road
village street
sink into a silvery dream
a scene in my life
scene in my dreams
and every day the river flows
beneath the moon that glitters so bright 
scene in my dreams

Scene in My Dreams

How do you remember who you are?
Looking like the loneliest of stars

If only we could stand up straight
to hesitate
to fall and disappear 
Some day
the moonlight shade
the long too late, 
the rolling credits fade.

How do you remember growing old?
Written on your only rubbered soul
How can we still play it safe?
the teeth too straight
some day we'll take the stage
we'll start again
One day we'll run away from it all.

You should be in movies to the stars
You should be in movies, you're the star

How far am I supposed to fall?
How far am I supposed to fall?
Running away from it all.

We should be in movies, you're the star
You should be in movies, you're the star
You should be in moves, to the stars
(running away from it all)

How do you remember who you are?

You should be in movies
