I decided to re-release this standard as I wanted to see if I could pep it up a bit. My version is based on the Blues Brothers version.

Sweet Home Chicago - reprise (by the Blues Brothers, written by Robert Johnson)

Well I try to hold my breathe
And save my words from you
But no matter how I pitter patter
Things are getting sad again for you

And I try to shake it off I really really do
I'm left to think that everything is going bad in life because of you

Why Are you so sad?
I can't breathe
I can't breathe
I can't breathe anymore

I try to follow all your petty fucking rules
But as soon as I begin follow one you go and make another two
My anxiety is high My bitterness is bad
I keep on trying harder but I end up as a martyr in the end

Why are you so sad?
Why are you so sad?

I can't breathe
I can't breathe
I can't breathe anymore

I can't breathe

Once I heard that my maternal grandfather was of Japanese ancestry, information that baffled me and that I'm not sure I can corroborate. Maybe I should travel to Japan to find out. I've always wanted to go there, see the cities, travel by train, eat like a salaryman; so much to do.

Matsuri 2

Band 4

I could open any door
But I don't feel it anymore
There's an aching in my tooth
I've got nothing left to prove to you

CHORUS
Picturecards and poems are all in life I ever asked
Sitting under moonlight
You felts my hands removed my mask

I will greet you with a smile
You should really run a mile or two
There's a treat behind each door
Am I really such a draw to you?

CHORUS
Picturecards and poems are all in life I ever asked
Sitting under moonlight
You felts my hands removed my mask
Stripping down my layers is surely a demanding task
If you've a spare moment come feel my hands, remove my mask

I could open any door
There's an aching in my brain
All the years have left a stain I guess

Waiting and hell, from the lost pages. No lyrics found yet for hell. Song made of old recordings

Listening to the finished product made me realize, the hell potion of the song was an instrumental of my old song, for a collab for with my great friend Arma years back. Happy I found this. Link for his page, and our collab https://on.soundcloud.com/F59xtCFDg2uiH4CZ9

Waitin for the man, with the sunshine by his side
Waitin for the sand, that will make my eyes go blind 
Waitin for the chance, to turn into Superman
Waitin for the dance, tie her down last rides my plan

Waitin for your call, and I’ll wait all night long 

Thinking what it will be, if I don’t get what I need 
Thinking what I could do if I don’t get to dance with you 
Dreaming of blood in my veins, is a nice way to end the day
Waiting is all I can do, just hope I run into you

Waitin..hell… <into>

If you could help carry my cross with me
Then, I’ll carry yours, and we’ll easily see
If I could walk a mile in your shoes
Not really sure, whose life I’d chose

Is it part of a bigger plan - as we stand and stare?
Straight into The Great Divide - Just how the Hell did we get there?
All those years and all our hopes and fears from deep inside
Were they lived by chance, or some Grand Design?

Am I lost, someplace in my mind?
Or, maybe, it’s one of those moments in time?
Best not to wait - if we get to choose
This is our life - to LIVE - OR....... Lose!

Riff Beach (Riff Werx ® 2017 - Revised)

All the chances that we’re given
And the choices that we make
What do we deliver?
To offset all we take?

Chorus
For, our wishes, they’re delicious
Our intentions……..so divine
Remember what we choose…..
and, Leave…..the rest behind

The calm we crave to capture
Often leads to Great Escapes
Will the vineyards of our mind……
…..Give us sweet or sour grapes?

Bridge
Are we searching for a purpose?
Perhaps……a place of Peace? 
Are we holding on too closely?
Or, is it distance that we seek?

< Instrumental, Repeat Verse 1, Chorus and Out >

Perhaps, we can feel it?
And, maybe, this Feeling?
Will bring Healing?
For The Human Race……
And, maybe, help make this a better place !

Right Now….. Better
Because, you know we can make it…..
So much Better 
Better……Oh, Yeah!
Make Our World
So much Brighter
Lessen our Load……
Yeah, and make it so much Lighter !

You never said, "I'm Leaving"
You never said, "Goodbye”
You were gone before we knew it.......
And only God knows Why
(Chorus 1)
A million times I needed You
A million times I cried
If love alone could have saved You
You (know you) never would have Died
(Bridge)
In Life, I loved you Dearly
In Death, I love You Still
In My Heart, I hold a Place
That only You can Fill
(Chorus 2)
It broke My Heart to lose You
But, You didn't go Alone
As part of Me went with You
The Day God took you Home

You Never Said Goodbye

Rather Be Back Home Again ©
Riff Beach - Original (RiffWerx -2019)
Thinkin’ about some of the places that I’ve been
New York, Paris, Berlin, and Rome
Still, I’d rather be in your arms again
I just wanna’ be Back Home
Yet, here I am……out on my own
Sometimes, feeling mighty and strong
And other times, tired….and all alone
Yet, I just keep on sailing right along
(Chorus) 
Oh, Yeah, but here I am again…….
Though, you’re out-standing on your own
(Left) Thinking of how things might have been
(When) all I wanna’ be is Back Home
Seen the rising and setting of the Sun
I swam upon The Seven Seas
Held it together and came undone
You know this heart is hard to please
(Post-Chorus)
Oh, Yeah, but here I am again
Though, you’re out-standing on your own
Thinking of how things could have been
But, all I wanna’ be is Back Home

An Original right from the very Heart and Soul of this Panhandle Poet and One Man Band.... Reflecting upon blissful times past when our Family would bask in the warmth of a comforting Campfire on gorgeous, chill Wisconsin Autumn Evenings. Actually, they jokingly referred to the campfires I built as more like raging Viking Funeral Pyres or Bonfires, but anyway.... Splendid, Loving Memories for sure. :D))) On occasion, songwriters hear a song in their head and feel it so deeply within their hearts, before even attempting to create or capture it somehow. This tune almost ran over me. Couldn't create a click track fast enough using BIAB, and then played along with my Martin Acoustic 000, and flavored it a little in the background with the Godin Electric. Hope it's enjoyed? Note to Self:  Build another Campfire soon on a Beach nearby! 
Campfire ©
Riff Beach - Original
RiffWerx - 2019
All we need is a spark to build a Campfire
A little something to keep the chill of night away
And, don’t you just love to watch the flames dance higher?
Drink up some warm…..Chase your Blues away
Chorus
(And) Won’t you come sit down next to me?
Unwind your busy mind?
Is there anyplace you’d really rather be?
(Let your thoughts run free…..)
Leave all your worries far behind?
As firelight eases day to night
There’s just nothin’ like a Campfire
The sweet scent of crackling wood
Why, everything feels just the way it should
Bridge
Together, this gift we share 
Splendid moments wrapped in 
A night so clear
For Love..... Love's right here
