Gimme A Reason

It's been a while since eddyoffline and I did a collab.  Mostly because he's always offline.  This one finally came together though.  I have never really played Reggae before and it shows. Thanks to eddy for sending me this track.  He plays an awesome bass in this as well as a solid rhythm guitar to hold things together.

Reggae-ish

waylaid  

Too many times  we’re all waylaid  and that’s fine 
too many times  it’s all waylaid  and  it goes to pot  
to pot  

Like a wave it comes and sweeps you right up and sees you see it all
But eyes, are a little bit blind and the scene is way too colourfully abstract
Still a bit waylaid, feeling somewhat waylaid,    
Still a bit waylaid, feeling somewhat waylaid,   

Take a little swim to the other other end friend
Any old stroke don’t worry about the form shawn
The wave is talking to us whispering to us all
Like an old friend’s calling for the next big call
we flounder around like elastic plastic fish  
being totally off course way too many times						
There’s gonna be hell to pay when we get loose 
too many strings can’t see the way up   fuck
 
we alight aboard the sinking ship ‘nice n spicy’ 
but it sure rings more like lice, lice and mousy
by all means though  yeah  call it a bleak street
rather that than being an almighty shit-storm 
but really what’s with the so trendy dark-side
when it’s just another tool to set aside inside
another montage in the so-so blackened garage
then the trap door opens with the latest barrage

it’s been a forever long haul to finally get here
through those wayback times of bullet versus spear
sitting so pretty on the board with no cares of war
laying down at night with no cares of what we saw
it doesn’t take long to forget the face of firepower
and wonder how it got here - how did it get here?
the flash of piercing light through our sufferance
the tall billowing dusty plumes of our vengeance

the power of one man can dictate the spin of earth
was here before, been here before, seen this before
man on top, he’s sublime, so so totally fine yeah?
was here before, been here before, seen this before 
the power of one man can dictate the winds of earth
straight ahead not a soul in sight - damn right!
There’s gonna be hell to pay when we get loose 
too many chains don’t know the way up   fuck

Too many times  we’re waylaid
feeling somewhat way way waylaid,    
  
it’s a pity about  the bleak streets
better than a fire storm for for for sure

Too many times  we’re waylaid
feeling somewhat way way waylaid

New Face

Suffocated Butterflies

A romance blooms Picking More than just Berries

Picking More than just Berries

He sat there stirrin’ his whiskey slow,
Lines on his face told stories untold.
Said, “Son, I see you starin’ at that phone,
Let me tell you ‘bout the nights I spent alone.”
Had a woman who loved me, but I let her down,
Chased the money, never stayed around.
By the time I saw what I had to lose,
She was gone, and I had nothin’ to choose.
If I could turn back time, I’d hold her close,
Tell my boy I love him, never let him go.
I’d pick up the phone, call my old man,
Tell my mama I miss her while I still can.
Don’t wait ‘til you’re lookin’ back,
Live each day like it’s your last.
I had a son, Lord, he had my name,
But I was too busy to show him the way.
Now he’s grown, got kids of his own,
But he don’t call, and I know why, son.
Lost my friends one by one,
Guess a man’s gotta give just to keep someone.
Had a family, had a life, had it all in my hands,
But I let it slip like grains of sand.
If I could turn back time, I’d hold her close,
Tell my boy I love him, never let him go.
I’d pick up the phone, call my old man,
Tell my mama I miss her while I still can.
Don’t wait ‘til you’re lookin’ back,
Live each day like it’s your last.
He looked at me with a faraway stare,
Said, “Son, don’t wait ‘til the world don’t care.
Love ‘em now, don’t let pride win,
‘Cause time don’t give second chances, my friend.”
If I could turn back time, I’d hold her close,
Tell my boy I love him, never let him go.
I’d pick up the phone, call my old man,
Tell my mama I miss her while I still can.
Don’t wait ‘til you’re lookin’ back,
Live each day like it’s your last.


If I Could Turn Back Time

This is a song that I am refocusing on, due to events in the world today. 

This is an original blues rock song that deals with the desire to escape with your lover to a better place. I wrote the song and did the vocal, rhythm, and lead guitar. David Hynes supplied bass and an additional rhythm guitar.
