About the song:

The song is highly inspired by Magic City Hippies, 1975, and Jakub Zytecki.

“Out of old, into new” is the lyrical thesis, I suppose, of what I was feeling when I wrote the lyrics.

“So long to those lies. I’m awake, I’m alone, I guess this place is my home.”
Being alone is hard. Being awake to one’s situation can be difficult. And then the realization that where one ends up in life isn’t the path they set forth so long ago can really shake a person’s foundation. My foundations been shook, but “I stick to my words - I feel like it makes me tough.”

Lyrics:

White turtle doves high in flight take to new skies - 
Bringing change, hope, and all the things I've passed by
All the love in the world, it never mattered enough
So I stick to my words, I feel like it makes me tough.

So long - so long to those lies.
I'm awake, I'm alone. I guess this place is my home. 
Oh, it's been so long since you've said my name, shared your love.
I'm not getting answers from above.

White roses lay in light as they wilt and die.
No water near, dear, and so their petals dry.

So long - so long to those lies.
I'm awake, I'm alone. I guess this place is my home. 
Oh, it's been so long since you've said my name, shared your love.
I'm not getting answers from above.

I thought I used to dread coming home.
Now I come to a place I don't know.

This was a song written with my mentor Terry L. Walters the summer I spent with him and his lovely wife Dawn in Lansing, Mi. Terry would strum a chord progression and I would sing a melody. When two musician are in sync there is nothing better.

I Hear You Calling by Terry L. Walters and Dave Hanrahan

She laughs then sighs
Looks in my eyes
Tells me I'm not like those other guys

She holds my hand says let's be friends
I take it then I turn away

I can't pretend not to comprehend
the meanings in this conversation

I push away and try to say
everything that's on my mind

Twenty four seven three six five
every day and every night
I wanna be your lover

I get a good feeling inside
when I'm with you I feel alive
I wanna be your lover

I wanna be your lover
not just friends
can't be another understand
do you understand

I wanna be your lover
not just friends
can't be another understand
do you understand

Twenty four seven three six five
every day and every night
I wanna be your lover

I'm gonna try to read the signs
of all those times you try to hide
within yourself there's no-one else
you're always waitin' for the answers
to questions why I'm gonna lie
I'm not like all those other guys

You understand I have a plan
yeah baby I wanna be your man

Twenty four seven three six five
every day and every night
I wanna be your lover

I get a good feeling inside
when I'm with you I feel alive
I wanna be your lover

I wanna be your lover
not just friends
can't be another understand
do you understand

I wanna be your lover
not just friends
can't be another understand
do you understand

Twenty four seven three six five
every day and every night
I wanna be your lover

I get a good feeling inside
when I'm with you I feel alive
I wanna be your lover

Naivety surroundin' you
what the hell you want me to do
I just wanna be with you

Twenty four seven three six five
every day and every night
I wanna be your lover

I get a good feeling inside
when I'm with you I feel alive
I wanna be your lover

Do You Understand?

Sometimes, we don't want someone from our past back- we acknowledge that it is over, but from time to time, we can't help but wonder if they ever think about us. Not sure if it's the ego at play in such instances, or just nostalgia (or both lol) but I believe that it's a sentiment that anyone who has ever lost someone (whether it's an ex lover or friend) can relate to. I put my heart into this and I hope it resonates with you and the world at large :)

i poured my soul out on this one.. Available everywhere @ https://you.kilzil.net/mota

I'm dolo searching for a photo
She don't know I've been feeling so low
Why am I worried bout' the things
That shouldn't matter to me
I'm stepping in the traps
That are set to shatter me
I'm sprinting right down the avenue
Everything I do leads me back to you

We thought it was gon' be effortless
Walked in through the depths of it
The monsters of the affectionate
Swallowed what was left of this flame

We're in the belly of the beast
Where we gon' go, where we gonna sleep
We're in the belly of the beast
What we gonna do, what we gonna eat

Somehow I know we'll make it out alive
Somehow I know we're gonna be alright
My intuition told me that with you I ain't the old me
We thought it was gon' be effortless
Walked in through the depths of it
The monsters of the affectionate
Swallowed what was left of this flame
