Need Your Love

Need Your love

The main character in this song is an ageing  stage actress who is suffering from Alzheimer's Disease or dementia.  I thought it was an interesting angle to come at this subject using a character who is used to switching from acting to real life on a daily basis, and how as her disease progress it would be hard for her to discern between reality and fantasy.  The loss of memory.  Don't know why I wrote this song, just kind of happened.  I know that most of us have had a friend or family member who has dealt with this horrible disease.  I guess I was just trying to touch on that with this song

Dave Wells performs Ryan Adams

This song is dedicated to the friends and loved ones of those lost to suicide.
Please, if you are even remotely thinking suicidal thoughts, 
TELL SOMEONE NOW.  It is a STRONG thing to admit one's fears and pain, for it is a release leading to healing.

Come Back Down

An instrumental track from my CD, Back Home. A quiet, reflection.

Remember way back in Highschool
When we thought that we were cool
Never dreamed that it would last long
While I dreamed awhile with you
We would run through the halls
Throw our books at the walls
and I do it all for you
I'll never forget smoking cheap cigarettes
to look cool, in front of you

Later on we took the long way home
So I could walk awhile with you
dreamed of where we'd be in 5 longs years
and I'd dream those dreams with you
I was cool I was calm I was Hip I was suave
when I told you it was you
I'll never forget all those things that I said
to look cool infront of you

Cause Darling I loved you
Back in Highschool

When I think about those Highschool years
I can't help but think of you
Those days are gone but it makes me smile

Highschool

Staring at my phone for too long
I know now that the signals still strong
with the flashing light in my line of sight
I know that somethings wrong
and I've been staring at my phone for too long

ohh maybe baby, I've got just what you need
and all i need from you is a touch of sympathy
she says baby, don't get me started
I told you what love is, and we ain't got none
so leave me alone

I should have known
I was nothin but a fool
yeah I should have known
there was nothin I could do
yeah I should have know
but i'm left here broken hearted
fighting myself as the clock reaches twelve
I know deep inside
I should have known

feeling like I've said too much
her coldness feels like more than just a touch
well in my mind, all these grand designs
have crumbled from the nudge
and i'm feeling like I've said too much

don't worry baby, I've got just what you need
and all I need from you is a touch of sympathy
she says baby, don't get me started
I told you what love is, and we ain't got none
so leave me alone

I should have known
I was nothin but a fool
yeah i should have known
there was nothin i could do
I should have know
but i'm left here broken hearted
fighting myself as the clock reaches twelve
I don't like to lose
next time i'll know

I Should've Known

Singer/songwriter/guitarist for a long time now.  Over the years I've been in & out of many bands but I've found that I was usually the one who was working the hardest, and who "believed" the most.  The most satisfying part to me was always writing and performing my own tunes.  So here (hear) I am.  I manage to play out a few times a month, either solo or with a percussionist friend.  Hope you enjoy my little observations & meanderings.
