I GO MY WAY
V1
Cars go racing by
A typical work day
Sad faces scurrying about
Stacks of bills to pay
From dawn till dusk
Travelin’ a lone byway
Hummin’ a humble tune
Takes me through my day

CHORUS
After I’ve come to say
What I came to say
My worn-out welcome
I don’t overstay
I go my way
Quietly I go my way
I go my way
Quietly I go my way

V2
Born a castaway
A castaway I’ll always be
Wild as the wind blows
Find me lost at sea
This world’s glitter and gold
Mean nothing to me
Wisdom is my windfall
Knowledge is the key


CHORUS
After I’ve come to say
What I came to say
My worn-out welcome
I don’t overstay
I go my way
Quietly I go my way
I go my way
Quietly I go my way

V3
And in the calm
Of a warm afternoon breeze
I watch branches dancing
High up in the trees
Millions of stars
Will soon be all mine to gaze
The universe
Will soon be all mine to praise

Ooooh-ooooh-ooh
Ooooh-ooooh-ooh
Ooooh-ooooh-ooh
Ooooh-ooh

CHORUS
I go my way
Quietly I go my way
I go my way
Quietly I go my way.

Inspired by the late poet, Max Ehrmann; one of his lesser known poems, “I Go My Way”.

I GO MY WAY (revisited)

Tendre

I started making this piece with the intention of it being a set of songs that could stand on their own as well as being an open collaboration, but then it took on a life of its own, and things just got out of hand from there, lol! 

But I still managed to control myself and didn’t add too many samples though, haha! 

I was listening to 1985 and 1986 hip hop singles when making this so….

You can download this for free as well as some of the unmixed stems on Bandcamp. The lyrics can also be found on Bandcamp since SC didn’t provide enough space in the song info. I reached my description limit!

Feel free to treat it as an open collaboration if you like. The song list, BPMs, and time signatures are listed below.

Rap Attack

I will
Put you in a tourniquet
Bleeding there’s no stopping it
Got a pimple 
I be popping it
Tripple nipple
Don’t be knocking it
I be chopping it off
Now blood is slopping  
I ain’t mopping 
You be dropping
When you slippin’ in it 
Finna sit and watch as I scoff
Maybe lickin’ ice cream soft serve, huh
What cha sayin’ I can only seem to catch ya gurgling brah
Nah, No one can hear you scream 
When you got a severe stream of
Foam bumbling, bubbling from your mouth, tumbling gravitationally south
Bro, i’m feeling bad for your health
See you reeling keeling over looking so sad 
had I know your noncongealinkg slow at healing
I might have
Not tried to put you in a tourniquet 
Tried to put you in a tourniquet
Tried to put you in a

REFRESHED

(Chorus)
No basic style, come on take a ride
Basic style——why? A catalog of vibe
Put a name on it, another wave for the tide
Listen what’s inside, then blast it worldwide 
The groove does not lie, a melodic glide
   Something-though, this much is certain
Set free to run wild—-no basic style
No basic style (Echo)

(Verse 1) 
Energy driven, music’s a haven
No questions-no answers -Taken-none given
We Share parts of ourselves 
   Just for the living
But I’m still underground 
Although I have risen
To a higher level in fact,
Basic styles-good riddance 
Bye bye—-let’s dance 

Switch it up!

(Verse2)
Switch it up-Switch it up
Random rhythm of raindrops 
Nothing fancy—-plop, plop
Lightning strikes naturally 
It’s all good-fear not

No hassle, add a deep bass
Some kicks and one-shots
Vibe along, it hits the spot
Feel the rhythm, move your butts
Cataloged tabbed—-
“Forget Me Nots-Vibe Will Hit The Spot”

No basic style—
(Chorus)
Interlude

No Basic Style

Never To Return (G. Di Nunno)

Alone with my thoughts, some quite nostalgic
Remembered as real, imagined, static
A deep desire to return
Relive the past, repair the worst
Find out where wrong turns were made
All for naught they quickly fade.

Never to return
I've had my fun
What's done is done
All who and what I am
Never return
The unknown waits
Approach its gates
All who and what I'll be

The music from my deepest past
Reaches for my heart at last
The loves I've lost; the loves I've found
Flying high, then hit the ground
Wherever went the long lost friends
Through the doors without an end
A looking back the best was done
Years remain and fast they'll run. 

As senses return, places familiar
Arise and erase what feels peculiar
And get myself on solid ground
Farewell the past once lived now gone
Light a candle, wait for me
Dropped the burdens now I breathe

Repeat the chorus "Never to return..."

#5. Never To Return

Music for inspired by the realm of Avalon, for reflection, focus, and study

Between the Worlds

I am on a trip this week to Virginia (DC and Virginia Beach were great) and instead of writing an online review, I was compelled to write a musical review of a less than stellar experience I had at a hotel. Recorded on my iPhone using GarageBand with the vocal song using the basic iPhone earbuds.
I stepped into the hotel. I noticed an unpleasant smell. It was a combination of old cigarettes and mildew. 
I went into my room. I could feel a sense of doom. As I took off my shoes and socks and my bare feet touched the grimy floor. 
Things are not the best at the Best Western, they’re going downhill fast, and I’m trying to pretend the glass is half full. I’m trying really hard to have a nice stay at this hotel. I’m trying not to lose my cool.
There was a peloton in the gym, so I sat on it and tried to login, but the bike wouldn’t work because the Wi-Fi wasn’t connected .
I went back to my room for a shower, and it was like I had a special superpower because when I reached for the handle to turn on the water, it came off in my hand .
Sometimes you can have a little bit of bad luck when you book a cheap room and try to save a buck. You can get angry and sit around and stew or you can break out into a song and write a musical review.

A Musical Hotel Review (GarageBand)

Thanks for tuning in.  Stripped Down, Raw and Real songs complete with flaws are what you'll find here.  Write on, Songsters! 

Much love from the USA,
Renee
