Always enjoy your music- a treat to listen to your honest style my friend !!

Waltzing For Dreamers

Written by Carole King and recorded by Everly Brothers in 1962.  Reached # 6 on billboard.  What great music these guys created. So many hits that linger in my mind.  Just enjoying doing this one.

Crying In The Rain  (Cover of Everly Brothers)

This was originally presented as a Punk/Rock kind of a feel for the Electives' but thls first effort had a more Reggae feel to lt which l quite like, so lt has made lt lnto the Anthology series, Rough and Raw as lt ls 😊

An outtake  from lyrics written for "The Eclective Collective" was found lurking ln my hard-drive that had been inexplicably combined with a classic Smokey Robinson R&B Favorite--


Naked Shoulders-by jeff gard!ner

(Refrain from) You Really got a hold on me- by Smokey Robinson, originally
performed by the Miracles   :):)

Lyrics

Naked Shoulders

l like the way the sun lights up
the naked shoulders of the Early morning
ln the Desert where we met-
ln the shack down by the muddy River
where you said you waited
while l rambled on about the time of
Youth and Sex and Beauty-
When the Real Revolution was the Music-

Slitting quietly and thinking
while the melancholy has lt's moment
letting longing linger longer than lt should

Took a little tumble ln the Bumble
when l got older
always just a little lucky
ln the middle of disaster
no longer sure lf l'm the spell or l'm the caster
only knowing that my feet are made of plaster-

Even though lt's getting late, even though lt's getting late
l'm still standing at the gate
hoping for a little bite hoping for a little taste hoping for a little slice of Nlrvana Nlrvana-

Verse 2

You know lt's harder than lt looks
even though l read some books
l'm ln love with my Delusion, Naked and inviting
lt whispers sweetly ln my head and says
You're gonna live Forever, even though l'm almost dead-

Everything that came before
comes knocking at the back-stage door
demanding parts ln the production of the play-

What makes you think you have a choice?
The Director Sald
you don't have to memorize the dialogue
the script ls ln your Head--

Anthology Act V       (Smokey Robinson)

He asked if she would..... 
Pour her heart into his empty cup
Filled with her very best intentions 
There was no need to stir it up

He promised to sip slowly 
Only paused a bit to think
Well....You know what, Sweetheart ?
That makes for one fine Drink

Chorus
Please pour me another cup ?
…….and don’t leave one thing out
Honey, what’s a man to do?
There’s no reason to doubt 
When you Fill Me Full of You
When you Fill Me Full of You
When you Fill Me Full of You

She said, “Let’s drink to the good times
Let’s toast the warm and setting sun
Today sure seemed a dream
Hope tomorrow brings another one”

Bridge
They hugged as they walked  
Looking eye to eye
Framed like shooting stars  
Against the dark blue sky

Clouds faded one by one
As they bathed in golden moon
Sadness tasted somewhat of fun
Never stayed nor left too soon
(Back to Chorus, Verse, Chorus and Out)


I definitely had to include this song on my cover album. An all-time classic written by Ben. E. King - this song has withstood the test of time and has been recorded by over 700 artists. When Mr. King passed away in April 2015 he was survived by his wife of 51 years. I wonder how many times he thought of her when he was performing this song - ‘cause to the very end he stood by her and she stood by him.

Somethin' in a Bottle

Alt Country/Folky musician-songwriter.  I hope these songs  are amusing.  

I also post the occasional set from Irish trad sessions recorded on cell phone,  though Irish trad is best enjoyed live. 

Thanks for listening.
