blew the dust off of this one.... from the Slingers project folder.  Thought it'd be a fun one to try to finish.  One I can relate to.... all to well.

A friend from university remembers me leaning out of a car window singing "I wanta get me some hongos". I remember no such thing.  In honour of his recollection I created that song, but from the perspective of a 75 year old. I still wanta get me some hongos, but ...

Verse 1:
I'm sitting here patiently trying to compose
A song about my distant past, all those highs and lows
I don't want to presume that everybody knows
That back in my early days I liked a taste of

Chorus:
Hongos, Hongos
That's the way the song goes
Hongos, Hongos
Wanta get me some Hongos

Verse 2:
Time goes on and on I guess everybody knows
Some things are moving faster but mostly it all slows
There were years oh so many when my consumption froze
And I nearly forgot about the magic of

Chorus:
Hongos, Hongos
That's the way the song goes
Hongos, Hongos
Wanta get me some Hongos

Verse 3:
Way back when if I had a choice I remember what I chose
I was immortal like all my friends, I guess that's how it goes
Now here I am over 70, still trying to compose
A song about my life that still featuring

Chorus:
Hongos, Hongos
That's the way the song goes
Hongos, Hongos
Wanta get me some Hongos

Bridge:
My time is running short
Before I watch my life abort
I might as well resort
To some

Chorus:

That's the way the song goes
Hongos, Hongos
Wanta get me some Hongos

Hongos!

Dancing In This Empty Room

A song about how the world is looking, and has probably always looked.  It's taken a long time to come together.  Hope it's worth it.  This is an initial release.  There is more to come, probably.  Some songs come easy - this hasn't been one of them.

Humanity

This is just me. No more, no less.

A death folk ballad for the young and the young at heart.
For those who inspire or have seen better days... for dreamers, lovers, and storytellers alike.

Good night from the ghosts of free Europe.

Happy Birthday Mom,
like always

Living on your own
Just one more day
Living on your own
On your own
Those signs before the fly-by
Drove you insane
Insanity or lights above it was kinda hell!

Your mother was so nice now
Who's gonna help you?
Your mother was so nice
She shouldn't have gone
Deceivers selling Bibles
And no one cares
You're trapped in your own present you can't let go

Just give me
Another home
