With the delicate piano melody featuring so prominently in the arrangement, feels like you're trying something a little different here Phil, and sounds good as usual!

Excellent composition throughout, rich and clear textures.

Warm sound and cheerful groove! Good feeling:)

Good song Phil, I said this before :- You have a knack of writing songs around serious subjects whilst keeping them 'Entertaining & melodic'. Not easy to do well but you manage it every time.

Awesome song very nice arrangement and melody

There’s definitely some early squeeze influences going on in the middle 8
Like this a lot 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Some great songs from some Fantastic Artist's/Bands.

Sonofa  Merica

This song is called "Sonofa  Merica".  it's about  the fairly common lament of the struggle of making a living and the government asking for more.   

Lyrics;
Ain't got much money
Don't hear anybody calling me rich
But the IRS called me
A son of America

Had my nose to the grindstone
For most of my life
Put the roof over my kids
And me and my wife
But I feel that I pursue happiness
At the point of a knife

I'm just man of few means
I have my wishes and dreams
Never did I see my coffers
filling up to the seams

Big Uncle sam
Sees the piggy bank on my shelf
And he gets pretty mad
If I keep too much for myself
Must think it's a pot of gold
It's just an old busted piggy bank and nothing else

But, I'm just man of few means
With limited dreams
Never saw my coffers
fill up to the seams

It's like I better pay Washington
Or they'll show up on my lawn
And walk right through my door
And take even more. And take even more. And take even more. And take even more.

I pay my fair share
I try to do the right thing
And my home is my castle
But hey I'm just pauper king
And I love being free
But if this keeps up I'll be free
of having anything !

Ain't got much money
Don't hear anybody calling me rich
But the IRS called me
A son of America

Sonofa Merica

Underground Maze

Many of us live in a world where we depend on a silicon lifestyle while atomic thermo missiles "protect" us from potential enemies. We have become used to seeing the sun shine but at the same time, we have our noses pressed further in the dirt and there are those who dream of life without hunger and thirst. Many of those who are leaders say "It can't hurt". This song reflects the sentiments of the above comments. Food for thought....

One thousand miles from Texas

It can't hurt

Ranting about the many problems in America. Please America, don't get me wrong. I love you, but you're bumming me out
Lyrics:
We can sleep behind the strip mall
We can live on Dollar Store bubblegum
In this country we don't do anything
About mental illness
We let it gestate
We don't do anything about guns
It just becomes an All-American character trait
Ain't that great?
Can you smell the decline?
American grotesque 

I'm gonna get to the roots of capitalism
I'm gonna open my own franchise store
Called the QANON store
It's got everything you need
It's in that strip mall
Over by that church
And the Mongolian all you can eat
Uh-Huh

Yeah, if I was a billionaire
I would give every homeless person an AK47
With unlimited rounds
Wouldn't that make you feel safe and snug in your bed?
So safe and warm in your bed!
And then you know what I'd do?
I'd pull those books from your Kid's School Library
Send them all down to the armory
Where we can burn em
If democracy
Doesn't work out how we like it
Can you smell the decline?
American grotesque

American Grotesque

TRÈS JOLIE PETITE 
I’M FALLING AT YOUR FEET 
AND I LOVE TO MEET YOU AGAIN EVERY MORNING

YOU MADE MY LIFE COMPLETE 
LEAVING NO ONE TO COMPETE 
VERY PRETTY PETITE LITTLE DAME 
WITH YOUR VIVID BLUE EYES SHINING

HAPPY ME HAPPY YOU HAPPY WE TWO HAPPY 72
PRETTY LITTLE QUEEN

NSTEAD OF THE GREEN SCARIEST MONSTER EVER SEEN

HAPPY ME HAPPY YOU HAPPY WE TWO TOO HAPPY 72

OH DEBORAH I GOT NEWS 
FOR YOU WITH YOU LIFE’S A CRUISE 
ON A CARIBBEAN SEA CAN’T YOU SEE 
LET’S GO BACK TO ITALY

HAPPY ME HAPPY YOU HAPPY WE TWO HAPPY 72

TRÈS JOLIE PETITE 
I’M FALLING AT YOUR FEET 
AND I LOVE TO MEET YOU AGAIN

Lyrics, guitar & engineering: A.J. Kaufmann (@ajkaufmann)
Vibraphone and other instruments: Matthias am Klavier

AJ Kaufmann and me both lived in Berlin for some time and when he send me this song, I was directly inmersed in the feelings of my time living there. Not always the nicest feelings, but with a taste of art, darkness and adventure...

(obviously influenced by Bowie's, Nico's and Lou's very early sounds...) 

Lyrics:

Walking down same old alleys
Looking for my face in the wind
Imaginary radio
Plays some Sinatra for me
Yeah I know it's cheap
But it knocks me off my feet
Anyhow

There were times of wicked beauty
Met in old Berlin
A cigarette & a cup of coffee
A woman in between
Yeah I know she's fine
But she couldn't read my mind
Anyway

Give me the blues
And blow me away
For a day

With her whip she looked so sweet
And she moved with grace
Oh but I swear a man like you
Wouldn't like to be in my place
Yeah that's how it is
She's got her little whip
And a smile

We ran wildly thru the streets
Flew like the Zeppelin
Not the one that crashed to the ground
But the one that flies in your dreams
We didn't ever want to land
We had so many plans
Now they're gone

Give me the blues
And blow me away
For a day

Wild days, wilder nights
Amphetamine & drinks
Oh how I pity you catholic boys
And all you catholic girls
Joy is my name 
My woman is insane
Still we fly

Give me the blues
And blow me away
For a day

Bard's woman in the cool of the summer breeze

Targets
lyrics & music by Kate Stanton
guitar by Garrett Kirby

You're like a diamond
from pressure and heat
they'll think they crushed you
like grapes under feet
so fine wine they will drink
keep shooting at your targets
cuz we'll dodge them...

I see you child.
Blossoming through the concrete. Open your window.

Your spark was dancing 
light on the rain
puddles that glisten 
christened in the pain
we don't sulk in defeat
there's beauty in the ashes
and we'll still love them.

I see you mother.
I see you sister.
I see you brother.
I see you father,
see you child.
Oh, I see you child.

You're like a diamond
from pressure and heat
they'll think they crushed you
like grapes under feet
so fine wine they will drink
keep shooting at your targets
cuz we'll dodge them...

I'VE HIT THE MOON, LOOKING FOR YOU
IF YOU SEE ME SHINING IN YOUR LIFE,
PLEASE DON'T BE FOOLED

MAY'BE I'LL FALL, WAY BACK TO EARTH
BUT LIVING ON THE OTHER SIDE IS JUST A STEP AWAY

I THINK I'VE HEARD IT ALL BEFORE
I GUESS THE WRITINGS ON THE WALL
I'M HEARING YOU, YOUR HEARING ME
BUT NOTHING TO SEE

MAY'BE WE WILL FALL, LIVING IN TWO WORLDS

I'M HYPNOTIZED, THE BEAUTIFUL LIES
THE BLINDING WORDS THAT I CAN'T HEAR
BECAUSE I FEEL ALIVE

I THINK I'VE HEARD THIS SONG BEFORE
I GUESS THE WRITINGS ON THE WALL
I'M HEARING YOU, YOUR HEARING ME
BUT I CAN'T BELIVE

MAY'BE WE WILL FALL
LIVING IN TWO WORLDS
MAY'BE WE WILL FALL... FALL
(break)
MAY'BE WE WILL FALL
LIVING IN TWO WORLDS
MAY'BE WE WILL FALL
(LIVING ON THE OTHER SIDE IS JUST A STEP AWAY)
LIVING IN TWO WORLDS
MAY'BE WE WILL FALL
LIVING IN TWO WORLDS
MAY'BE WE WILL FALL
(LIVING ON THE OTHER SIDE IS JUST A STEP AWAY)
