RENT A ROOM

I don’t want to rent a room
In this place
Encounter a neural sonic boom
Inside this space
Let’s go ride our metal horse
Get away from the city
Wander through the desert night
Beat the Vigilance Committee
They’re coming to make us
Turn ourselves off...
Now... 
Well that could lead to a dance
A cyber-laser dance

Well we don’t want to feel your cold
We want a steel womb with a view
So we can catch you and your crew
With your shiny shoe and your clean shirt
Looking around through all the dirt
You check the chandelier
But I can see straight through you here
You've got a sweat on from the beer
And we can smell your fear
You're coming to make us
Turn ourselves off...
Now... 
Well that could lead to a dance
A cyber-laser dance
(Maybe even a cyber-sabre dance!)

The priest and the nun
Are pouring sand into
The joints of my exoskeleton
Whilst a dog with a bone
Is running into trouble
With a clone of mine’s explosive rubber drone

I don’t want to rent a room
In this place
Encounter a neural sonic boom
Inside this space
Let’s go ride our metal horse
Get away from the city
Wander through the desert night
Beat the Vigilance Committee
They’re coming to make us
Turn ourselves off...
Now... 
Well that could lead to a dance
A cyber-laser dance
A cyber-laser dance
A cyber-laser dance
Boop boop boop...

This song began when I asked the rest of the guys if they'd be willing to put together a couple of songs for my father as a Christmas present. My dad is from West Virginia, and I was born there, too. The original version featured my son, Marshall, singing the lead with me. Hearing his grandson sing a song about West Virginia really meant a lot to my dad. Of course, everyone was enthusiastically generous in giving their time, effort, and skill to my family for the holiday. This song also has special meaning for JJ and Ken in relation to their fathers, as well. JJ's dad has had a rough year with his health. He also is a musician who inspired and encouraged JJ to play music. His dad also likes this song, so it was fun for him to present it to him, as well. Ken, who's father never really supported his decision to be a rock-and-roller, loves this version of the song we did, and made Ken know how proud of him he is in regard to it, which really meant a lot to Ken, too. Another cool connection Ken has to this song is that whilest attending elementary school, he was in the same school choral cohort with the legendary Maria Carey. He actually sang this song with her when they were kids. Also, we feel like we should acknowledge Artur's dog, even though Artur isn't in on this one, his dog, Waldek, loves country music and responded enthusiastically to this one.

  The story of the song itself is a little convoluted. After I asked for everyone's help, Ken laid down a rudimentary beat, to which I started the tonal part with the bass. Stephen added the guitar and banjo soon after, and I added the mandolin shortly after that. JJ inserted his piano around this time, too. We pretty much had it working enough for me and my son to sing it for my dad. Tez mixed that version perfectly suited to the occasion. 

  After presenting my dad with the present, it sat for about a month, until we asked Mark if he'd get in on it, too. Mark not only sang it better than Mr. Denver, but also arranged it so there is an instrumental break now. He also added the guitar lick at the very beginning and the auxiliary percussion throughout. Ken took the opportunity of having Mark's great vocals to sing against to add his cunning harmony to Mark's cunning harmonies. Then Mark, being the perfectionist that he is, noticed that the slide part was missing from the second verse. So, I added it. Mark also mixed this version, with Stephen doing some mastering at the end. 

  We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed putting this personally meaningful piece together.

Lyrics:

If you feel tired and can't find any pleasures
Unable to see how things really should be

You need a long break
To heal your heartache
And for Gods sake don't blame yourself
Take a deep breath
A good rest
To regain strength to get through the day

If you don't know how to love
And don't know how to live
If you feel split in two
And have nothing to give

You need a long break
To heal your heartache
And for gods sake don't blame yourself
Take a deep breath
A good rest
To regain strength to get through the day

If family and friends see you as only strong
They may not be aware of
That you struggle all day long

And need a long break
To heal your heartache
And for Gods sake don't blame yourself
Take a deep breath
A good rest
To regain strength, to get through the day..

To be able to help others
You have to help yourself
Don't be ashamed
To stop up and say

That you need a long break
To heal your heartache
And for gods sake don't blame yourself
Take a deep breath
A good rest
To regain strength, to get through the day..

So take a long break
To heal your heartache
And for Gods sake don't blame yourself
Take a deep breath
A good rest
To regain strength to get through the day...

Not much time these days for "producing". I grabbed my trusty old Zoom H-1, did one take and added drums & bass. Now I'm free!


Gold Heart 2024 (James Eoppolo)

She let the gold heart fall from her slender right hand
Walked away never did see it land
Broken off the chain, like she's broken free
Well worth the gamble with no guarantee

The din from the traffic seemed to mock him in shame
Again and again as he shouted her name
How It all fell to pieces consider the source
The calmest of rivers in time will change course

Hanging in the balance the best laid plans
For each one that falters, another one stands

Counts herself lucky that she finally awoke
Located the exit despite all of the smoke
Shedding the skin of the last empty years
Leaving behind her no trail of tears

He watched as she vanished deep into the crowd
Stronger alone as she always avowed
Shadows grow heavy suffocating the pride
Of this fool on the edge of a steep downward slide

In the stillness she's pleased to hear her own voice 
Not for a moment doubting her choice
Content not to hurry to fill empty space
With the sun in her eyes the sun on her face

A tap of his finger the ashtray's now filled
There on the table where the whiskey was spilled
No point pretending his guilt was complete
When he saw the gold heart fall into the street
