Call My Name

by Phil Dutton & Les Corlett

Lyrics

I've been searching for meaning in the eye of a storm,
Somewhere to shelter that's cosy and warm.
Where candlelight flickers, shadows dance on the walls,
In comfort I'll wish for the end of the war

There's no reason to feel the way that I do,
While I'm working away, I think of home and of you.
My memory slips through the hours of the night,
I wish you were here still holding me tight.

As the wind that is blowing and rattles my door, 
I could have done better, I could have done more. 
When someone beside me held out a hand,
And whispered the words that helped me to stand. 

I noticed a change in my body and mind,
In the quiet of a moment that's so hard to find.
When people like us are so easy to please,
Why do we struggle for one second of peace?

Let loose the shackles and unburden my chains,
Everything changes but still stays the same.
It's driving me crazy, It's breaking my heart,
They can't stop the bullets that tare lives apart.

I've  been searching for meaning in the eye of a storm,
Somewhere to shelter that's cosy and warm.
Where candlelight flickers, shadows dance on the walls,
In comfort I'll wish for the end of the war. 

As the wind that is blowing and rattles my door, 
I could have done better, I could have done more. 
When someone beside me held out a hand,
And whispered the words that helped me to stand. 

I noticed a change in my body and mind,
In the quiet of a moment that's so hard to find.
When people like us are so easy to please,
Why do we struggle for one second of peace?

I've  been searching for meaning in the eye of a storm,
Somewhere to shelter that's cosy and warm.
Where candlelight flickers, shadows dance on the walls,
In comfort I'll wish for the end of the war. 

There's no reason to feel the way that I do,
While I'm working away, I think of home and of you.
My memory slips through the hours of the night,
I wish  you were here still holding me tight.

The Eye of the Storm

The Eye Of The Storm

We’re praying for peace
Never losing hope
My faith I keep very close
Dancin out my grave
Seen a Holy Ghost
Yeah I’m on some drugs
But there not even close
See what I use to do is get really high
Then drink enough so I would black out and die
Thought the universe needed me
Well maybe she does
Are you seeing things different like I was
Love can fuck you up
And I can promise you that
There’s never enough
Nope I don’t have the answers
That’s exactly why I keep on dancing.

praying for peace w/ a Sandman07 intro

■概要(Overview)
じゃんけんで負けた！
さらに色々とやらかして状況は悪化してしまった。
はい、自己嫌悪。
・・・・
そんな感じの曲です。
でも大丈夫！どんどん行け、進め！
宇宙規模で考えれば大したことじゃない・・ような気がする。

I lost in rock-paper-scissors!
And the situation got worse with all sorts of other things.
Yes, self-loathing.
・・・・
It's that kind of song.
but it's okay! Keep going, keep going!
I feel like it's not a big deal if you think about it on a cosmic scale.

2023.4.1 楽器の追加を試みましたがやはり最初のバージョンで再度公開。
2023.4.1 Considered adding instruments, but finally released in the original version.


■歌詞
「どうして僕は・・」

どうにもならない
気を付けていても
くじ運悪いし　気持ちも弱いし

やりたくないのに　じゃんけん弱くて
町内会の面倒な役をやる羽目になったんだ

おまけにさ
電話番号を
教えてしまった
聞かれてないのに
責任感じて空回りする
僕はひどい奴だ

僕の居場所はないよ
愛想尽かされ　さよならさ
情けなくて消えたい
ねぇ、神様、どうして僕は・・・
(いつもこうなんだろう)


どうにも頭が
ずきずきしてきた
子供のころから　気持ちが弱いし

対人恐怖が影響している
大事なじゃんけん
見透かされていた
涙の　じゃんけんぽん

おまけにさ
電話番号を
聞かなきゃいけない
空気が漂い
迷惑気づかず　順番に聞く
僕はひどい奴だ

僕の居場所はいつも
自分で壊し　それまでさ
最初からわかってる

ねぇ、神様、どうして僕は・・・
(いつも余計な事ばかりしてしまうんだろう)


忘れたころに　「逃しはしない」と
再び僕に「烙印」を押す

いくら逃げても　隠したとしても
弱い部分が　「忘れさせない」と・・

月夜の枝垂桜が揺れている

僕の居場所はないよ
愛想尽かされ　さよならさ
情けなくて消えたい
ねぇ、神様、どうして僕は・・・
(いつもこうなんだろう)

■ lyrics(google translate)
"Why am I..."

I'm a hopeless person.
Even if I'm careful, the lottery is bad and my feelings are weak

I don't want to do it, but because I'm weak at rock-paper-scissors, I ended up playing a troublesome role for the neighborhood association.

moreover,
I gave everyone my phone number
Even though no one asked me to teach them

Feeling responsible and panicking
I'm a hopeless person

I have no place
Goodbye to being exhausted
I want to disappear without pity
Hey God, why am I...
(why is it always like this)

I can't help but have a head
I'm getting a throbbing pain

Ever since I was a child, my heart has been weak

social phobia affects
important rock paper scissors
was seen through
Rock, paper, scissors of tears

In addition
phone number
There is an air that you have to ask,
Listen in order without noticing the nuisances around you
I'm a bad person

I always destroy my own place.That's it.
I know that from the beginning

Hey God, why am I...
(I guess I always end up doing unnecessary things)

When I forgot, "I won't let you go"
brand me again

No matter how much you run away, no matter how much you hide
The weak part chases after you forever, saying "I won't let you forget"

The weeping cherry tree on a moonlit night is swaying

I have no place
Goodbye to being exhausted
I want to disappear without pity
Hey God, why am I...
(why is it always like this)

A song dedicated to my wife Lisa...

By Phil Dutton & Les Corlett

Lyrics

If I am lazy in my answers,
To questions you don't need to ask.
I love you more each day it's painful,
Worried how long it's gonna last. 

If patience really was a virtue,
Then fallin' in love must be a crime.
I'd taken a chance to hold you,
And kiss you till the end of time.
If I'm dreaming let me lie here,
Don't wake me up until it's time.
Why bother messing with the notion,
Just keep me hanging on the line. 

If tomorrow is a new day,
Take my hand and walk with me.
Smile that smile that melts my heart dear,
You are the reason I am free.

If the storm clouds chase away the blue skies,
When all else fails and I am gone,
Remember, that I will always love you,
You gave me the strength to carry on.

If I am dreaming let me lie here,
Don't wake me up until it's time.
Why bother messing with the notion,
Just keep my hanging on the line.
Just keep my hanging on the line.
Just keep my hanging on the line.

Let Me Lie Here

By Phil Dutton & Les Corlett

Lyrics

I've been waiting for the winds to change, To blow me back to shore.
I've been drifting here for several days, It makes me want her more.
You can see I broke her heart - and I know I let her down,
I was careless in the ways of love. So what do I do now?

Blue as I am I still have faith, I can turn this ship around, before it’s too late
Blue as I am I'll plead my case, before I run aground, before it’s too late

The sun and the moon shone down on me, It gave me time to think.
She's all I want, she's all I need to pull me back from the brink.
Sally said "Don't play that game!", "Your lies tore me apart".
"Why not be true with how you feel?", "Now's a good time to start".
I stood in amazement and nailed to the spot, My heartbeat started to race.
I took in the beauty that stood there before me, As she put me in my place.

Blue as I am I still have faith, I can turn this ship around, before it’s too late
Blue as I am I'll plead my case, before I run aground, before it’s too late

The sun  and the moon shone down on me, it gave  me time to think,
She's all I want, she's  all I need to pull me back from the brink.
Who am I fooling? No one but myself, I have to think this through.
What am I doing? I'm constantly screwing, everything up it's true.
If only the seconds didn't pass like hours and my mouth wasn't so damn dry.
I'd give her the reasons if I had the power, enough so I could try,

Blue as I am I still have faith, I can turn this ship around, before it’s too late
Blue as I am I'll plead my case, before I run aground, before it’s too late

Hello… so have you ever noticed certain things about yourself that never change? This song, ‘Just Like I Always Do’ is about that very thing. I found myself  outside the other day, playing with rivulets of snow melt. Making channels with a rake, for the water to run down and I laughed… my feet were soaking wet and I was having a grand old time. Reminded me of a time in kindergarten, when I arrived late to school, soaked to the bone, as I was playing in the rain along the way. So that playful side of me has not changed at all. I also noticed, like flowing water, how vital it is for me to keep moving. A fluidity when it comes to living and learning about life. Recently, singing has been like that for me. Bear with me on this. A little backstory: As a kid, I had a brief stint in my middle school choir. I did not want to join the choir, that’s for sure. The music teacher had picked us out, after brief singing auditions. After our first performance, my mother, God rest her soul, told me I did not have to go back to choir anymore, if I did not want to. Out of the 50 kids on stage, I was the only one not singing. I just looked down so no one could see my mouth… except my eagle-eyed mom. Simple as that, I was done with it. There were other things I wanted to do as a precociously rebellious kid, running around the neighborhood, as it were. Now, half a century later, I have been learning to sing on my own. It has not been easy uncovering that latent voice of mine. Looking back, sometimes I wish I had stuck with it as a kid. So about a decade or so ago, this dude I worked with asked me if I’d show him some stuff on guitar. His mom was a musician and music teacher and he grew up with music in his life. He was always singing and playing guitar. As we hung out, he noticed I never sang and asked me why. After basically dodging his question, he told me the only thing stopping me from singing was me. Talk about a hard lesson to swallow. So now, bringing us up to speed, I had some fun exploring my nascent singing voice on this song. The image is of me and Garnet running the hills in early Spring. Hope you like it and thanks for listening. Take care, Mark

Just Like I Always Do

Original Track by Phil Dutton & Les Corlett.

Lyrics...

I'll be the last one to know,
When the lights go out,
I've been living in the dark,
With my fear and doubts,
It doesn't really matter,
What offer you propose
Because every day is wasted,
As I slowly decompose.

We rise and we fall,
Then the rubber hits the road,
We drive overnight,
It's never easy so I'm told
And the song that is playing,
Takes me back to my youth,
At journeys end,
I'll stop and face the truth.

Oh somebody hold me,
I think I've lost it all
Won't somebody ask me,
Was it worth it all
Oh somebody take me
I think I've lost my way
Oh somebody kiss me
And make me live again

With all my days numbered
From the first until last
You'd think I'd had a ball
Well you'd think I'd had a blast
I drank all my tequila
My whisky and wine
To drown out all the noise
And passage of time

As my memories dim
In the cold light of day
I'll politely ask you
If I should have stayed
As I feel the earth shifting
Here beneath my feet
The drummers are marching
To the sound of a different beat

Oh somebody hold me
I think I've lost it all
Won't somebody ask me
Was it worth it all
Oh somebody take me
I think I've lost my way
Oh somebody kiss me
And make me live again

When the lights go out
Remember me
When the lights go out
Remember me
When the lights…

When the Lights go Out

When The Lights Go Out

Original song by Phil Dutton & Les Corlett.

Lyrics...

Don't take the colour from my dreams,
Don't make me see in black and white,
There's no sense to it,
A love so delicate, 
All of the things.
I think I lost along the way, I must admit it.
In the early morning light, I sometimes feel I miss it.

I shouldn't feel the way I do,
I found a way to rig the game,
And I love you.
Is it any wonder that I can't help myself?
I hold on tightly to the things that make me smile.
Oh if it's wonderful, simply wonderful,
I'd die I'd die I'd die, 
wonderful, simply wonderful
I'd die I'd die, A happy man.
                       
I still have a touch of that fatal charm,
You still have a blush in your cheeks.
been away too long,   
And it feels so wrong
I feeling paranoid,
Wrap me up,. in my dreams.
Restless as I lay here, I need to get some sleep.

I shouldn't feel the way I do,
I found a way to rig the game,
And I love you.
Is it any wonder that I can't help myself?
I hold on tightly to the things that make me smile.
Oh if it's wonderful, simply wonderful,
I'd die I'd die I'd die, 
wonderful, simply wonderful
I'd die I'd die, A happy man...

Lyrics...

Find a moon lit pool and swim, swim, swim...

'Heading off in a new direction, 
 The way ahead is now clear to me now'.
Swim, swim, swim.
Swim, swim, swim.

I'll take my time till the movement wakes me,
I smile and watch the world pass by,
Swim, swim, swim. 
Swim, swim, swim.   

We are just lost souls
Looking for connection
Trying to find a reason
Trying to find an answer
Looking for a soul mate
Before it is too late
Whisper from the darkness
I cannot seem to hear
A figure in the distance
I cannot seem to see
You are a beautiful soul
That cannot fill the hole

In my heart, I'm searching
For a love that's true and real
But the world keeps on turning
I'm longing for something to heal
I'm reaching out in silence
Hoping you'll understand
That together we can find
A love that is here and grand

White Raven (Follow the white raven and go through the enchanted door)

Was happy to participate in another Josh Clary jam!  
This one has an awesome vocal from Steve's Planet and the usual line up brings it here as well with...
Josh on the monster bass
Tez ripping the guitar rhythm and leads
Ken pounding out the beatz and 
JJ making it pretty with those keys. 
I was able to work in the solo in the second half and, with the help of K2 Ken get out a solid production with a nice mix and master.   I believe Tez may have added a bit as well to the post production. 

Basically it was really a true group effort.   Josh is really good with keeping things group focused and having the whole band work within his idea and vision for a song and yet still having the ability to contribute your own unique sounds.

Another fun time with a great group!
