ROCK AND A HARD PLACE
Words & Music Stephen Randall
A Bethany Sky Whitman production
Featuring Ramon Beiboer on lead guitar

When you can’t move up
And you can’t turn around
When the walls keep closing in
And the sky is falling down
And the sky is falling down

No matter where you turn
No matter where you run
When you shout out loud 
But you can’t be heard
When you have to stand your ground
You have to stand your ground

CHORUS
That’s where you want me
That’s where you need me
That’s where you got me
Between a rock and hard place

You can’t move forward
And can’t go back 
And the road is blocked ahead
And every green light turned to red
Every green light turned to red

When you’re standing on the ledge
And the voice in your head
Say don’t look down
But you still look down
You wanna jump and hit the ground
You wanna jump and hit the ground

CHORUS
That’s where you want me
That’s where you need me
That’s where you got me
Between a rock and hard place
That’s where you like me
That’s where you fight me
That’s where you right me
Between a rock and hard place

CHORUS
That’s where you want me
That’s where you need me
That’s where you got me
Between a rock and hard place
That’s where you like me
That’s where you fight me
That’s where you right me
Between a rock and hard place

Rock and a Hard Place

Hi Hi :-) It's been a terrible long time since I have been able to do any music or get much computer time so this was much needed for my soul!! I hope you enjoy the tune :-)

This is just a quick ruff mix duet of a cover from ~Minor Alps -  "I Don't Know What To Do With My Hands” 

Guitars: Trevor Stark & Bethany Sky
Bass Guitar: Trevor Stark
Vocals and produced by Bethany & Trevor

LYRICS:
The couch is an island 
A desert oasis 
The room is a spaceship
And you're an undiscovered planet. 

I push the hair out of my eyes
I pull the blanket around me 
I bite my nails, scratch my shoulder
I peel the label off the bottle
And tear it into tiny pieces

I don't know what to do with my hands
I don't know what to do with my hands

Maybe the phone will ring
And then I'll get to answer it
A momentary distraction 
I can't predict your reaction to my touch
I could sit here all night
Our knees almost touching
But not ever quite

I don't know what to do with my hands
I don't know what to do with my hands
I don't know what to do with my hands
I don't know what to do with my hands

I can't decide on a channel
I'm just flipping around, maybe you can choose
Maybe some kind of monster
Maybe I just don't know how to reach out. 

I don't know what to do with my hands
I don't know what to do with my hands
I don't know what to do with my hands
I don't know what to do with my hands

(2 x )
I kinda want it to stay this way
No more moves, no mistakes
Nothing lost, nothing broken
Like a boat on a windless ocean

I don't know what to do 
I don't know what to do 
I don't know what to do
I don't know what to do

A reworking of a song of mine from 2014.

NAIVE 
Words & Music by Stephen Randall

Am I a fool
For having a dream?
Believing in alchemy
Building my legacy
Ignoring reality
Living the fantasy
Succumbing to vanity 
Am I the biggest fool you know?

CHORUS
Oh naive
Why do you give yourself to me?
Oh naive
Are you the better man than me?
‘cos I'm still not giving in
Oh naive

Am I a fool
For playing the game?
For leading a strategy
Wrestling with gravity
Writing my destiny
Bleeding so easily
And screaming so peacefully
Am I the biggest fool you know?

CHORUS

Am I a fool
For staying the course?
Armed with audacity
Seeking validity
Teaching tenacity
Living so recklessly
Speaking too honestly
I must be the biggest fool you know

CHORUS

Naive

My version of See these Bones by Nada Surf 

Trevor Stark - See These Bones (Nada Surf)

This was so much fun to do :)

Here is my version of Run by Snow Patrol. I played every instrument and vocal. I also did the mixing.   

Hope you like it!

I'll sing it one last time for you
Then we really have to go
You've been the only thing that's right
In all I've done

And I can barely look at you
But every single time I do
I know we'll make it anywhere
Away from here

Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear

Louder louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say

To think I might not see those eyes
Makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbye
I nearly do

Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear

Louder louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say

Slower slower
We don't have time for that
All I want's to find an easy way
To get out of our little heads

Have heart, my dear
We're bound to be afraid
Even if it's just for a few days
Making up for all this mess

Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear
