In the Summertime - Arizona Style!

This song was inspired by a watercolor painting that my wife Pat created.  The look of a strange creature simply occurred, out of nowhere during her process of creation.  I was inspired by this mystical creature she created to write these lyrics.  Hope it inspires you in some way as well. www.roadrunnerreverie.com

Clouds in the Twilight Desert Sky

A song reflecting on both sides of politics and calling for unity, peace and working together to "FIX THIS THING!"

Let's Fix This Thing

This track is dedicated to the memory of Charlie Kirk and his pursuit of truth through honest dialogue.  RIP Charlie!

Never Surrender

A political fight song, but unifying people from both sides against the politicians that seem to keep us fighting each other.  We have more in common than not, and if we work together can keep the politicians from both sides in check and them working for us.

 Analysis & Commentary: A Political Anthem for Unity and Defiance – One Beat At A Time 
This song is a bold, rhythmic rallying cry that transcends partisan divides and calls everyday people to reclaim their collective power. It’s not just a protest song—it’s a blueprint for solidarity, resilience, and grassroots transformation. Let’s break it down:
 Theme & Message
•	Anti-Establishment, Pro-Unity: The lyrics reject political manipulation from both sides of the aisle. The repeated call to “stop listening to the politicians” and “reject the politicians, no matter which side they are on” positions the song as a populist anthem, not aligned with any party but with the people.
•	Empowerment Through Togetherness: The chorus and outro emphasize unity—“One beat. One voice. One future.” This isn’t about tearing down; it’s about building something new, together.
 Verse-by-Verse Breakdown
Verse 1
•	Tone: Frustrated but hopeful.
•	Key Insight: Politicians thrive on division, using social media and misinformation to distract and divide. The verse urges listeners to recognize this manipulation and reclaim agency.
Chorus
•	Emotional Core: The heartbeat metaphor (“tomorrow’s got a pulse”) is powerful—it suggests life, movement, and potential.
•	Call to Action: “Time to work together” is the song’s thesis. It’s a direct appeal to collaboration over conflict.
Verse 2
•	Imagery: “Polished suits” and “stab us in the back” paint politicians as deceptive and self-serving.
•	Defiance: The people are no longer silent—“voices they can’t mute” is a declaration of rising resistance.
Verse 3
•	Division vs. Unity: This verse tackles identity politics and racial/political divides. “Unity’s a wildfire” is a striking metaphor—once sparked, it spreads uncontrollably.
Verse 4
•	Systemic Critique: Laws are portrayed as rigged, and accountability is deflected. The people are “the storm they didn’t plan for”—a poetic way to describe grassroots upheaval.
Verse 5
•	Geographic Reach: “City streets to country roads” expands the movement’s scope. It’s not urban or rural—it’s national.
•	Ownership: “It’s not their world to govern—it’s ours” reclaims democratic power from elites.
Bridge
•	Contrast: “They had the stage, but we’ve got the streets” juxtaposes institutional control with grassroots energy.
•	Homegrown Power: “This is our house, this is our home” reinforces belonging and ownership.
Outro
•	Final Declaration: The outro distills the song’s message into a manifesto. It’s about rejecting division and starting anew—with shared values and mutual respect.
Musical & Structural Notes
•	Repetition of Chorus: Reinforces the heartbeat metaphor and the central message of unity.
•	Rhythmic Language: Phrases like “spark,” “rhythm,” “beat,” and “pulse” give the song a kinetic energy—perfect for a fight song meant to be sung, danced to, and felt.
 Why It Works
•	Inclusive Language: It avoids demonizing any specific group of citizens, focusing instead on corrupt systems and manipulative leaders.
•	Emotional Resonance: It taps into frustration, but channels it into hope and action.
•	Cultural Relevance: With references to Facebook memes and polished suits, it feels timely and grounded in the modern political landscape.

Old Days Gone By

This song came to mind after my wife was complaining about the most always late Amazon orders and sometimes damaged packages.  It brought to mind the Presidents of the United States 1990's song, "Some Postman".  Took that song as an inspiration and came up with this!

Some Amazon Driver (Amazon Blues)

I wrote the powerful lyrics to this song almost 25 years ago while sitting at work.  The time was an interesting one in life and a bag of pretzels with a label that said "Individually Twisted" was sitting on top of the break room refrigerator.  I can vividly recall that day and taking notice of those pretzels and being inspired to write the words.  To make it even more interesting, this was the day was 9-11-2001 right before the attacks occurred.  I guess there is some depth to these words.
