BLUE STAR (END OF THE FOURTH WORLD)

THE VEDAS (FINALE)

NEW SONG

THIS IS A TRIBUTE TO THE CLASSIC SPY FILMS OF THE 1960'S, ESPECIALLY, THE JAMES BOND SERIES.  THERE IS A GUITAR SOLO REMINISCENT OF AL DiMEOLA AND, AT THE END, A NOD TO COMPOSERS MONTY NORMAN AND JOHN BARRY.  

EYES ONLY

I KNOW THE TITLE OF THIS TUNE IS ODD, IF NOT OFFENSIVE TO SOME, BUT IT COMES FORM THE FILM 'MISS CONGENIALITY (SANDRA BULLOCK).  ONE OF THE CHARACTERS SAYS HER VERY STERN MOTHER WOULDN'T LET HER PURCHASE A PAIR OF RED UNDERWEAR BECAUSE THEY WERE, "SATAN'S PANTIES."  AFTER LAUGHING OUT LOUD FOR SEVERAL MINUTES, I JOTTED IT DOWN THINKING IT WOULD MAKE A VERY FUNNY SONG TITLE, AS I HAVE A SLIGHTLY WARPED SENSE OF HUMOR (FRANK ZAPPA IS ONE OF MY HEROES, FOR GOODNESS SAKE).  i HAD ALWAYS WANTED TO WRITE A BIG BAND CHART, TOO, SO THIS SEEMED LIKE AN APPROPRIATE TITLE FOR A VERY FAST, JUMPING TUNE, THAT WILL SURELY GET YOUR JITTERBUG ON.  LOL!  

SATAN'S PANTIES

LIKE MOST PEOPLE WHOM HAVE THE FILM, 'THE WIZARD OF OZ,' OVER THE RAINBOW STANDS OUT AS AN AMERICAN CLASSIC, JUST LIKE THE FILM.  HERE IS MY OWN SOLO JAZZ GUITAR ARRANGEMENT OF ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SONGS EVER WRITTEN.  

OVER THE RAINBOW

NORTHSTAR SUPPORTS OUR TROOPS 100%. WE WISH OUR GOVERNMENT WOULD DO THE SAME. 
THIS SONG IS ABOUT HOW OUR FIGHTING MEN AND WOMEN GO TO WAR, SOME PAYING THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE. SURVIVING THE HORRORS OF WAR, MANY COME HOME TO BE FUCKED AND FORGOTTEN BY THE VERY GOVERNMENT THAT SENT THEM TO WAR IN THE FIRST PLACE. 
WE'VE INCLUDED THE LYRICS.

'I WENT OFF TO WAR
FIGHTING AGAINST THE MOST EVIL OF MEN
I CAME HOME FORGOTTEN 
A MAN BROKEN AND LOST
MY SOUL LEFT IN A FARAWAY LAND

I'M UNDER YOUR SPELL 
PLAYING YOUR GAME SO WELL
PUTTING MY LIFE IN YOUR HANDS
CAUGHT IN A WELL
BETWEEN HEAVEN AND HELL
DOING THE WALTZ OF THE DAMNED

INNOCENCE LOST 
DIGNITY TORN AWAY
THE ECHOES OF WAR RESOUNDING IN MY HEAD
SLEEPLESS NIGHTS 
DAY AFTER DAY
THE NIGHTMARES OF WAR AND THE DEAD

COMING HOME THERE IS NO PARADE
ON THE STREET WITH NOTHING TO EAT
FORGOTTEN YOU'RE LOST 
YOUR LIFE THE COST
NOW YOUR DESTRUCTION IS COMPLETE
