So powerful just like a big wave! Great rock song!

Diggin' this one a Ton, Dan. I love the Surf Music Guitar stuff, as well. This is catching a a Big 'Ol Gnarly Wave and riding it right on in from start to finish, Friend. Fine job! Kowabunga!!! ;-)

awesome work Dan - you certainly cover a lot of territory musically

July 2021, written quite quickly, I’d taken a picture of the blue house and wanted to write a song with that title, simple as that!  Listen with headphones.


Blue House
 

I live in a blue house,
Blue like the day,
Blue like the sky 
With the clouds blown away.

You had a red house,
Red like a fight,
Red with the shouting
In the middle of the night.

I live in a blue house now,
With Love in a Mist
And Glory of the Snow,
I live in a blue house now,
Not blue like the Blues,
But blue as the water’s flow.

I live in a blue house,
Where everything’s cool,
There’s no place for trouble
In my Casa Azul

You live in a red house,
Of chaos and strife,
I couldn’t stay there 
That’s not my life.

Funny 'Bout Love

Time slips away.

Where Is Peace

Can you remember those stories
That your father used to tell
About those horned devils
Rising up from Hell
In the seven rings of Hades
In the abode of the dead
Can we cross the lake of fire
To where the departed dwell

And we all seek redemption
Though we call it different things
To be borne into our Heaven
Upon an angels wings
Trailing clouds of glory
Are we such foolish things
When the noble savage brings his justice
To the deposed kings

Oh they lie and they lie again
Tell me where is peace
There is no children's lantern left
Shining in the East

and we have no regrets we say
Then how can we atone
For the caravan of sin
And all the evil we have done
We all have gods of some sort
And we pay them in the end
We best pay some attention
To what all these signs portend

Oh they lie etc

Can the wizards spin their spell for you
Bring forth your voodoo doll
Drink your drink and lift your voice
Within Valhalla's halls
We all are hollow humans
Bereft of divine joy
As we drag those empty ideals
Within the gates of Troy








Will there be transubstantiation 
Of nonsense into truth
Can we make up the things we believe in
And not ask for the proof
We all are crazy suckers
When it comes down in the end
We invested our souls in those Ponzi schemes
For some extra dividend

Oh they lie etc

Where Is Peace

The search for a more peaceful existence away from the commotion, corrupt or not, of society.

Let Me Go

A soundscape evoking anxiousness and uncertain territories while being able to find the confidence to embrace the journey.

Mood Exhibit - Terra Song [from the album Focal]

My friend Dirk Radloff (Heartscore) has influenced me to write some surf rock songs.  I now have 3.  I have put them into a playlist of my Surf rock songs.  I play my Squier Stratocaster (with Lindy Fralin split blads pickups) for both rhythm and lead guitar on this one,  I also use my old fender Precision Bass.  The other instruments are midis.

Here is a link to my pickups:

Evasive stress lead bellies think they've got me well in hand
That once in debt I'll stay inept and fruitify their land
Multiplying mutant forms of soft white fleshy kin
I'll sit inside my prefab mind and combat mortal sin

Don't think twice its gonna be nice
Living in the mountains of Florida
All alone in my hilltop home
Living in the mountains of Florida

Habituating shopping malls keep popping up like corn
And intelligent consumer folk are once a minute born
These dough-faced dirty cherubites that always bother me
Forced a pulling up of the stakes in lieu of unpleasantries

Don't think twice its gonna be nice
Living in the mountains of Florida
All alone in my hilltop home
Living in the mountains of Florida

Free and Female
