A high energy Americana / Rock song about being lost and the realization that, like every time before, this too shall pass and that sometimes we have to learn the same lessons over and over.

Head On Straight

Written by Damian Smith
Produced by Robert Ruby
Fiddle by Rachel Crick

It's a simple love song. Life is short, but today we have each other, so let's take advantage of the the time we have. Was going for an Appalachia / bluegrass feel on this one. This was a lot of fun to write and play. I hope you enjoy listening!

Sweet Mountain Air

Produced by Robert Ruby

A song about how we are all kind of going through life pretending to be what we think others want to see.

Frauds Like Me

Produced By Robert Ruby

This song was inspired by someone close to me who is in a battle with addiction

Those Demons

Written by Damian Smith
Produced by Robert Ruby

A song about how neither the good or bad times last

Head on Straight

Steady to the Wind

Steady To The Wind

Tell me how you feel today
Do you feel the same way
I wanne know everything about you

Do you love me
Do you see me
The same way, as I see you

No I won't let you down
Cause I will always be around

I wanne tell you all I feel
Now I'm sure this is real
When I'm with you I can be myself

Do you love me
Do you see me
The same way, as I see you

No I won't let you down
Cause I will always be around

No I won't let you down
Cause I will always be around

I Won't Let You Down - Original song

God Damn! it’s a Jungle Bully Shakedown!

We're Just Prey

Trouble,
Has been on my mind
Trouble,
Has been on my mind

All I do,
Is worrying
All I do,
Is worrying

Now I'm looking back
At what I've done
And what I have become

The pressure,
Has been killing me
The pressure,
Has been killing me

Love,
Is all I need
Love,
Is all I need

Now I'm looking back
At what I've done
And what I have become

Trouble - Original song

Thanks for listening.  Been hacking away on and off at this one since '08.  I know, ridiculous!  

THE GIRL NEXT DOOR
V1
She’s the girl next door
But not the girl you adore
Mrs. Johnson you’ve seen her war from behind your curtain
See her hanging torn sheets
Summertime in long sleeves
You continue sipping your tea you block her out for certain

BRIDGE 1
Bite your tongue
Mrs. Johnson, bite your tongue
The damage has already been done
And you don’t wanna be the diff’rent one

V2
She’s the girl next door
But not the girl boys pine for
She drops dishes on the floor her crooked smile brings you down
Last night she fell on glass
She’d tell you should you ask
Keeping secrets is her task when company comes around

BRIDGE 2
Bite your tongue
Little girl, bite your tongue
The damage has already been done
And you don’t wanna be the diff’rent one

No-no-no-no, no-no, No-no-no-no, no-no
No-no-no-no, no-no, No-no-no-no, no-no

V3
She’s the girl next door
That sad face at the groc’ry store
You’ve seen her some place before you can’t remember where
She’s smelling the blue roses
Someday soon she supposes
She’ll lick her wounds like a ghost undauntedly disappear

BRIDGE 3 
Bite your tongue
Girl, better bite your tongue
The damage has already been done
And you don’t wanna be the desp’rate one

V4
She’s the girl next door
But that doesn’t mean she can’t be more
The deliverance she longs for can’t be found in some fairytale
But one day she will ride high
Like a dove, she’ll grace the sky
She will fly, she will fly as soon as she is able

Instrumental

V1/TAG
She’s the girl next door
But not the girl you adore
Mrs. Johnson you’ve seen her war from behind your curtain.

Songwriting has been my labor of love since 1980ish.  Here you will find raw and real songs.  I'm not much on guitar and I'm certainly no singer; record most of my latest on an iPhone.  However, I find that to be the beauty of songwriting in that you don't need fancy equipment to get a song across and to write Three-Chord-and-the-Truths!  Thank you for listening.  Rock on, Songsters!  Much love, R. for Renee and/or Rielle and to quote a dear one who's passed over to the other side, "There's a song in there somewhere."
