Human nature is an enduring mystery, as tragic as it is beautiful. And these are great sounds to hear while I am baffled.

Nice song and cool style throughout your catalogue

wonderful songwriting and perfect arrangement

Realy good song R. 👍 A little Beatles touch that I like. 😊

For all my Soundcloud friends who've had to put up with me posting nearly a song a day for the last month, this is the last one I promise!! Will be switching back to more of a listening and liking/reposting kind of mood for the next couple of months :)

LYRICS:

There’s a ballroom on 110th Street
Where the band’s been playing since the turn of the century
I don’t know how they keep up the rhythm
Guess even a musician’s gotta earn a livin’

And if they stop or stumble
The whole damn edifice will surely crumble

So keep dancing, keep dancing
Keep dancing, 'cause if we stop
We may never start again

Across the floor, everybody greets you
From the Dalai Lama to your great aunt Rita
Karl Marx and Brigitte Bardo
Your second cousin Roger and Vincent Van Gogh

But  if they stop or stumble
The whole damn edifice will surely crumble

So keep dancing, keep dancing
Keep dancing, 'cause if we stop
We may never start again

We'll have some good times we'll have some bad times
We'll have some sobbing into our cocktails kinda sad times
We'll have some running up the street naked mad times
The trick is to never stop dancing!

So keep dancing, 'cause if we stop
We may never start again

The night is over, you head for the door
But the doorman says, “Hey, man, what you leaving here for?
We ain’t closing, there’ll always be another
And another and another and another and another...

And if they stop or stumble
The whole damn edifice will surely crumble

So keep dancing, keep dancing
Keep dancing, 'cause if we stop
We may never start again
 
[Repeat until fade...]

Keep Dancing

This is kinda dark.

Lyrics;
The empty eyes
Had seen the future
A silent heart
Had found the past

Off into the distance
An engine roars
The sound is fading
Very fast

Dead end alley
End of the road
Dead end 
is all you need to know

Yellow light darkly shines
And dimly reaches ground
Dumpsters tethered to the walls
Where treasures for lost souls are found

Moon is new
Stars beam through the dim light glare
A cool breeze
Stirs the dirty air

Dead end alley
End of the road
Dead end

The empty eyes
Had seen the future
A silent heart
Had found the past

Dead end alley
End of the road
Dead end 
is all you need to know

Dead End Alley

A Hare Named Holyfield

Here comes the fool by tank.
That would be a horrible thing.

Leave aside human rights or environmental issues, 
for now, it is war.
Don't talk about love and peace. 
It's quicker this way. 
After all, that's how it works.

It's ridiculous, but it's reality.

Don't spend money on welfare and health care.
Or else they will come.
What we need are cool missiles and nice canons.
No more need for Fender or Martin.

I don't know how this happened.

Here comes the fool by tank.
I didn't think it was true.

It was this Tarot card that was offered to us. 
Not to them, but to all of us.
We'll buy weapons and gather soldiers.
Even though there are other things to do.

No anti-war voices were heard.

Here comes the fool by tank.
That would be a horrible thing.

Here comes the fool by tank.
I didn't think it was true.

The fool

This is a song that began as a bass line I came up with on my four string fretless over a looper. I shared it with Ken (K2 and the Three [and Four], Stephen (Tex Mex Shaman), and Tez (Llanpsych) through BandLan, which we're all on. Ken came up with some perfect drums, as always, to prop up the whole thing. Tez added some killer guitar solos, which you can hear more towards the end, with the ripping tone. Stephen then came in and added the talk box guitar and wah guitar that you hear playing the hook more towards the beginning. It's my first song ever featuring a talk box, and I'm amazed with the part he came up with. It's a major line against my minor bass line. I love how it sounds! Stephen also was kind enough to mix the beast for us, which turned out to be a herculean task. But he was up to it, and a fine job he did, too. It was an honor and a pleasure to work with these guys. We all hope you enjoy it as much as we did making it.
