I had a dream
all our strings came untied
like nothing I'd ever seen
we were flying arms open wide
I don't know
I don't know why it happened
but it did
and the memory remains with me still --

I had a dream
I was in the deepest sleep
Your innocence was real
I was ready to take a leap
I don't know
I don't know how it happened
but it did
and the memory remains with me still --

In the middle of the night
never saw it coming
Your spirit carried me
into the morning light

Then I woke in your arms
you whispered to me and then
laid your lips on mine
you kissed me again and again
I don't know
I don't know if it happened
but it did
and the memory remains with me still --

I had a dream,
I had a dream.

GURU - Lyrics
(Words and Music by Richard Barone)

You used to be so cool
you filled the room, filled the room
Now you sit and stare
you’re off the air, off the air
The lights inside your head
they went from green to red, green to red
the changes you’ve been through —
it’s up to you, up to you

Now is the time, now is the true
and I will be your guru
If life is a crime I’ll pay the fine
but let me be your guru

You don’t have to say
you lost your way, lost your way
And you don’t have to know
all you know, anyway
The voices in your head
that say you’re better off dead
they’re better off dead

Now is the time, now is the true
and I will be your guru
If life is a crime I’ll pay the fine
but let me be your guru

I wanna sail through your mind.
I wanna sail till I reach the shore I seek to find.

Let everything be clear
Never fear, never fear
take me by the hand  
You’re gonna understand, understand
the music in your head,
the things I’ve said, things I’ve said
The world may see through you —
I’m gonna see you through, I’m gonna see you through

Now is the time, now is the true
and I will be your guru
If life is a crime I’ll pay the fine
but let me be your guru.

LYRICS:

Lighthouse
(Lyrics: Barone/Music: Barone/McGinty)

Do you wanna go?
I think you need to know
that the wind blows cold
that the cold wind blows

Did you need some more?
Could you see the shore?
Did we lose the wind on our flight?
Or is all right, adrift in the darkest night?

We lost our sense of time
Blinded, but sublime
I guess we’ve seen most everything
The lighthouse calls when the fog sets in.

Did I stay too long,
when I should have gone?
I used to wear my heart on my sleeve,
now I find it hard to believe

How the moments sank
Isolation tank
Has the morning come to reveal
we’ve nothing left to conceal?

We lost our sense of time
Blinded, but sublime
I guess we’ve done most everything
The lighthouse calls when the fog sets in

And now I know
how the clouds lets go
waving no goodbye
drift to another sky

And now I see
twisted in irony
what all the cynics say
I’ll tell you anyway

Lost all sense of time,
Damaged, but sublime
I guess we’ve said most everything
The lighthouse calls when the fog sets in

Now I know
how the clouds let go
now I know.

Do you wanna go?

Lighthouse - Richard Barone & Joe McGinty

From the album 'JEM Records Celebrates John Lennon', released Oct. 9, 2020. 

Recorded during the early days of Summer 2020, JEM Records artists took to the studio to record their unique interpretations of John Lennon's compositions. From the early Beatles days of "I Call Your Name" to the final recordings of (Just Like) Starting Over," this record is the culmination of decades of love of Beatles and Lennon songs. Featuring performances by The Weeklings, The Grip Weeds, The Anderson Council, Richard Barone, Johnathan Pushkar, The Gold Needles and The Midnight Callers. The cover is a reproduction of Al Hirschfeld's "Lennon at Home."

Jem Records Celebrates John Le

Revolution/Power To The People

I was inspired this past Monday, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, to write a new song. Thinking of Dr. King, and how the folk music scene of Greenwich Village had played such a big role in his movement, the words and music for "We Will Be Free" seemed to flow freely. Luckily I was able to record it right away. I posted the video instantly on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube.

Two days later, on Wednesday, I was delighted that it was played as part of the Bayard Rustin Center for Social Justice's Inauguration Day Special Power Hour, a celebration honoring the incoming administration.

Tonight I made a special mix for Bandcamp, using all the original elements that I recorded on MLK Day. I'm happy to share with you here.

I hope you enjoy it.

❤ Richard Barone

Lyrics:

We Will Be Free

All I want is what you want
and we will be free.
What you want is what I want
we will be free.

They may try to take it back
They may try to cheat
But all I want is what you want
We will be free.

Instrumental

If they make you give up hope
Let me make you see
that all I want is what you want
and we will be free.

Short Instrumental

We will be free x2

They may try to take it back
They may try to cheat
But all I want is what you want
We will be free.

All we want, all we want
We will be free x3
