A folk rocker about a Midwesterner's yearning to return to the Rocky Mountains where the skiing and lifestyle is far better.  Track #2 on the 2022 Scott Cooley Records label studio album release "Bluebird Days II" by solo artist Scott Cooley.

Bluebird Days II

Mountain Time

A sea shanty featuring accordion with an old-timey feel about sailors returning from sea and the women who love them.  Track #13 from the "Bluebird Days II" studio album by Scott Cooley released in 2022 on the Scott Cooley Records label, featuring phenomenal accordion playing by Lenore Cooley who made a guest appearance.

Any Port In A Storm

A carpe diem folk rocker with bongos about reflecting on the fleeting fragility of life and concluding that it’s best to make the most of it while living in the moment and realizing that what matters most is spending it with the one you love.  Track #5 from the Scott Cooley studio album "Lockdown Leftovers" released in 2022 on Scott Cooley Records.

Lockdown Leftovers

A Matter Of Time

More of a 90s style acoustic alternative indie rocker, this mid-tempo tune covers the difficult subject of addiction, how it affects a relationship by putting strain on it, and how it must ultimately involve gearing up for abstinence by admitting the issue.  Track #12 from the "Lockdown Leftovers" album released in 2022 on Scott Cooley Records.

Promises

A unique phenomenon experienced by those from the Flint Michigan area who know it well and by a single word, delivered with an old-timey feel.

Rest Assured

Coney

From the 2008 Scott Cooley album, Drive Time Companion.  A little country-ish or country-tinged, but not overtly, so it might be Americana?  Willing to welcome a past love back into your life, acknowledging it was wrong to break up, but not ruling out the possibility of reunion, questioning whether she was the one who got away or whether it was never meant to be, or whether or not she is thinking the same way about you as you are about her.

There Is A Road (Road To Me)

Road To Me

From the 2012 album, Cherchez La Femme.  Written on a scrap of notebook paper from back in the early 90s when I used to frequent various restaurant/bars that featured 10-cent wing specials on certain nights, and groups of guys would show up together and sort of compete with each other for quantity and speed before reaching for the mug of beer.  Good times.  Kind of a macho thing, but chicks who would also partake were "hot" for doing so.  The fact that you could get a natural "high" of sorts from spicy pepper sauce on food was somewhat a novelty to people at the time, and the choices were few-Tabasco or Franks, before this became a popular thing.  This was way before the whole concept took off popularity-wise and you saw a majority of such establishments offer these or entire specialty chains like Hooters and Buffalo Wild Wings.  It was a new thing to me at the time, and somehow in your early 20s and bar-hopping days, it seemed like a pretty cool experience to have.

Cherchez La Femme

Hot Sauce

A tale of the plight of America's environment since the arrival of Europeans, inspired by a 70s anti-pollution TV commercial w/ a Native American vibe.

Where There's Smoke

A somewhat sarcastic look from the outside in at the lifestyles of the rich and famous, in the form of a mento ballad with uke, marimba solo that conveys the having a lot of money does not always lead to happiness.

Missing The Boat

Your Own Private Island

A really happy-sounding, mid-tempo Hawaiian-ish rocker w/ marimba solo that slides its way to delivering a totally pessimistic yet blatantly realistic outlook on the future with its contrasting lyrical message.
