The Final Wager

Steer me in the right direction and I'll go
And I won't stop until I find
A bridge across the wind, passage through the rain
A workaround to buy us some more time

The final wager
We'll run the table
And love will win at last

Sort me out so I can be the kind of guy
That you would proudly call your own
The stupid things I do will not embarrass you
And you will never be alone

The final wager
We'll run the table
And love will win at last

Wind me up and I will walk the straightest line
A gauntlet of our enemies around
But just one look at me, they'll part like the red sea
And we will walk across the ground

The final wager
We'll run the table
And love will win at last

Lyrics by Ralph Donkin

Drank a few beers
And a little rum
At the end of the night
I'd make my way home
Home was a house 
Half way up to the sky
Where I'd look down 
On the birds flying by

When life was so slow
And I did what I pleased
When my days were so full
Many moments to seize
When time was my own
With so much to waste
When life was straightforward
And not two faced

DON'T TAKE LIFE FOR GRANTED
TAKE IT ALL IN
WHEN WILL IT END
WHERE DID IT BEGIN
NOW I'M SO GRATEFUL
FOR THOSE LITTLE THINGS
THE AUTUMNS THE WINTERS
THE SUMMERS AND SPRINGS

But soon that time
Had  gone so fast
And soon that time
That I thought would last
Had disappeared
To who knows where
And all of a sudden
There's no time to spare

Don't Take Life For Granted (Cooper/Donkin Collaboration)

Seul et Triste au Milieu de la Fête

Love Is Contagious

Credit to Overdrive, who took a simple song with simple lyrics, worked around the chaos and created something of pure magic. Taking what nobody else heard and making it into a reality. This song came to life, representing exactly how I felt when I wrote it. I’ll forever be grateful for this simple act of grace and amazing talent. Thank you Overdrive for everything!

ALIEN LOVE

DRUMAX No. 42 // ALIEN LOVE

Inspiration for this song struck in the form of an experimental sample pack revolving around MUSHROOMS!!!! This sample pack is AWESOME! Two producers went out into Midcoast Maine and Rhode Island and played with mushrooms and fallen wood!! In particular, there was this harmony that was a conceptualization of what a mycelium network would SOUND like and it is one of the most beautiful samples I've ever heard. I had to do something with it!!! 

The phrase "Mechanical Mycelium" stuck in my head so I tried to conceptualize what THAT would sound like! I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed creating!!

Mechanical Mycelium

Original track by Phil Dutton & Les Corlett
Lyrics...

Completeness of the sweetness is a bitter pill to take, 
Feel the earth move in loves embrace.

I was thinking to myself, 
how good it really felt.
To wake up in the morning,
When the cards were dealt. 

I hung up the phone,
I turned my back
One fatal moment,
When the deck was stacked

The sunshine was golden,
Your kiss lifted me.
Out of my slumber,
You rescued me.

As the warmth of our bodies,
Merged into one.
We lay there for hours,
In the rays of the sun.

You can keep your diamonds,
You can keep your cash.
I found my piece of heaven,
That's so much better than that. 

The sunshine was golden,
Your kiss lifted me.
Out of my slumber,
You rescued me.

Completeness of the sweetness is a bitter pill to take, 
Feel the earth move in loves embrace.

I lived in denial,
I starved myself of true love.
I prayed for the moment,
And to the heavens above.

I coasted through,
A lifetime of regret,
so  scared to take a chance,
and I never slept.

The sunshine was golden,
Your kiss lifted me.
Out of my slumber,
You rescued me. Rpt…
