Mother told me, yes she told me
I'd meet girls like you
She also told me stay away
You'll never know what you'll catch
Just the other day I heard
Of a soldier's falling off
Some Indonesian junk
That's going 'round
Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright
They just seem a little weird
Surrender, surrender
But don't give yourself away
Father says your mother's right
She's really up on things
Before we married Mommy served
In the WACs in the Philippines
Now I had heard the WACs recruited
Old maids for the war
But Mommy isn't one of those
I've known her all these years
Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright
They just seem a little weird
Surrender, surrender
But don't give yourself away
Whatever happened to all this season's
Losers of the year
Every time I got to thinking
Where'd they disappear
Then I woke up, Mom and Dad
Are rolling on the couch
Rolling numbers, rock and rolling
Got my Kiss records out
Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright
They just seem a little weird
Surrender, surrender
But don't give yourself away
Away
Surrender, surrender (Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright)
But don't give yourself away
Surrender, surrender (Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright)
But don't give yourself away
Surrender, surrender (Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright)
But don't give yourself away
Surrender, surrender (Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright)
But don't give yourself away
Surrender, surrender (Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright)
But don't give yourself away
Surrender, surrender (Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright)
But don't give yourself away

Surrender By Cheap Trick

This is As If It Was A Dream in it’s whole length

As if it was a dream

"I just can't get enough"  Depeche Mode (cover)

How can you say thatt it’s all about you? I say @ die to yourself and live in Christ! You may disagree, I’m okay with your decision!😇

Only Live Once

Original song by TrippSideBrown: www.youtube.com/@MikeWoodside-sv9gr
he was the only one who had a plan
nobody else knew where to go
care without fear of popular demand
that's what a leader's made of
now we're moving backwards
i can see it coming again
look around and soon you'll find your enemy's your only friend
does anybody remember laughter
was that carefree child really me? 
did you get what you were after? 
what was that and how did I turn to me?
We'll never reach our destination without a place to start
finger on the trigger back up against the wall
go ahead and take the first shot
or realize that my agenda benefits all
every destination needs a place to start
I'm not a destination but a place to
it would be so easy just to give up now
but I try, as I bleed, I must succeed
never could've done what I did if it wasn't for the ones I did it for
every destination needs a place to
every destination needs a place to start
hey mister sister why so much enraged
nobody wants to hear you...
spin like a twister pointing all this blame
when was the last time you did anything for someone else
one common goal one aspiration peace in all our hearts
we'll never reach that destination without a place to start
every destination needs a place to
every destination needs a place to start
everybody needs everybody

Narcissist

music words and performance by Camille Ellyce Bordelon

DEATH OF A SALESMAN

Por una promesa

[Verse]
In the hush of night
The dream unfolds
Colour's drip like wax
Stories untold
A mirror whispers
It knows my name
A vivid canvas
Never the same

[Prechorus]
Blurred lines fade
Then reappear
Is it the dream
Or am I here

[Chorus]
Morpheus the dream king
Crown of light
Pulling strings in the endless night
Is it real or is it scheme
Caught between the world and dream

[Verse 2]
The clock ticks backward
Shadows bend
A spiral staircase
With no end
I see myself
But it’s not me
A stranger's face
Where mine should be

[Bridge]
He speaks in riddles
Voice like smoke
Each word lingers
A cosmic joke
I reach to touch
He slips away
The dream king laughs
Night turns to day

[Chorus]
Morpheus the dream king
Crown of light
Pulling strings in the endless night
Is it real or is it scheme
Caught between the world and dream

Morpheus Dream King

I have always loved this song. Hendrix was such an incredibly intuitive and inventive guitar player and great songwriter; he didn't hold a strat, it grew out of his soul. This is a sketch of one of his beautiful thoughts. It's not meant to be a facsimile, it's just meant to refresh a memory, a little tiny bit of the wonder of the prophetic and charming voodoo chile. Fly on Jimi, fly on...

Songs: We find them unpainted in our hands, throw them up into the air of our imagination, turning them in the colours we see after we close our eyes until they feel just right, and sometimes we catch them perfectly, without blemishing them...

My music is on most platforms for your ease.

Wow!!  417K+ plays and 4,000+ valued followers and friends on SC alone, that provide lots of wonderfully helpful comments that fuel the next track! Really big thanks to the SC community for listening and providing such brilliant feedback and support. It means so much to myself and my collaborators - huge thanks.

I work in different styles, as the inspiration, dreams or bubonic plagiarism comes! I use Logic Pro X on Mac.
 
I write, produce and play all my own stuff (unless otherwise stated), play vintage Tokai Strats mainly, PRS Torero, Steinberger, Gretsch G2627T, Classical, Fender Dreadnought, Yamaha and Rickenbacker basses, keyboards and sax. I use Native Instrument's Komplete, Omnisphere 2 and my own organic samples.

I mix on Sennheiser HD 280 Pro's and HD 650's (closed and open headphones) when not making a bigger noise through my Yamaha HS8 studio monitors. I use Focusrite Clarett 2Pre ThunderBolt and Apogee audio interfaces, Neumann & iSK condenser & AKG dynamic mics. 

Hardware: Feb 1978 Marshall JMP 50W Combo, BOO & BOSS stomps

I love collaborating with other musicians and will compose with, play guitar for, produce, arrange, master or even just hum along with other SC musicians. Please ask!
