90's Movie Intro - Thrill N'Chill

Come April  				c. 2020 by M. A. Manetz

V1
On these four gray walls I've painted her picture with my mind.
Holdin' her in my dreams the only comfort I can find.
One more lonely winter in this cold and lonely place.
The only thing that's kept me sane is the memory of her face.

Chorus
Come April, I'll make it better,
Come April, it'll be so fine.
Come April, I'll make it up to her,
Come April, she'll be mine.

V2
Six months in this prison, six months till I'm free,
Six months since her last letter, does she still care for me?
My brother came to see me, said she's movin' to L.A.,
I tell myself come April, I'll find a way to make her stay.

Chorus

Bridge
Am I a fool to think that she would ever wait for me?
I don't blame her for leavin', but yet I still believe...

Chorus

Come April

Photos In My Mind

From the 2nd Runt LP entitled The Ballad Of Todd Rundgren, and way more complicated than I was ready for!

Chain Letter [written by Todd Rundgren]

Story of Life

I was born on a Saturday.
I got my name from my Dad.
“Keep it between the lines” he used to say.
Not one memory of him is bad.

I was a boy who could never sit still.
Had no focus and had no plans.
I was a poser with no social skills.
Babe but I did the best that I can.

This is another story of life.

Grew 2 feet the year I turned fourteen.
Scrawny and face like the moon.
Too long, too lean trying hard to be seen.
I sure wasn't calling no tune.

Out there alone had to learn how to fight.
Survival became my whole day.
Bullies and darkness they turned out my light.
Any happiness faded away.

Desperate days filled with hate.
Walking too close to the edge.
God please help me before its too late.
Get me the Hell off this ledge.

Tragedy, hate and pain
I felt them cut like a knife
Tragedy, hate and pain

Ain't that the story of life?

Thank God I found her. Like magic was saved.
That tunnel had come to an end.
My full measure I reluctantly gave.
A cost almost too great to spend.

She brought me there to a place I could change
and no one should live as I did.
Love is a cure that we all can exchange
so that hate like a virus we'll rid.

Very soon that day will come.
I vow that I'll make a stand.
Start with one and we'll soon be some.
I see a future that's grand!

This was another story of life.

SEI MUTIG! (Der Text) 
Durchgezechte Nacht mit verbogenen Gedanken.
Vernebelte Sicht durch Alkohol und Nikotin.
Aufgetaucht in einer Frühstückskneipe.
Irgendwo im Nirgendwo von Berlin.

Ich fühlte mich einsam und auch mies.
Nicht die geringste Spur von Liebe.
Was läuft hier nur falsch?

Fader Kaffee mit bitterem Geschmack.
Meine Blicke leer aber immer suchend.

Schräg gegenüber saß ein Mädchen.
Heller Teint und schwarzes Haar.
Ihr Blick traf mein Herz.
 
Was ist jetzt nur los?
Ist sie das große Los?
Im Hals `nen fetten Kloß!
Wie schaffe ich das bloß? 

Irritiert schaute ich zu Boden.
Ich wünschte sie käme rüber zu mir!
Kurz darauf blickte ich wieder auf - 
und sie stand ganz nah bei mir.

Und sie sagte:
komm sei mutig!
Zieh mich ganz fest an dich!
Hey, sei nicht so feige!
Glaube an dich und mich!
Verschließe nicht die Augen!
Schaue mich an, ich stehe vor dir.
Sei bitte mutig!
Küsse mich jetzt und hier!

Ich dachte:
komm sei mutig!
Ich zieh` sie ganz fest an mich!
Ey, ich bin nicht feige!
Ich glaube an sie und mich!
Verschließe nicht die Augen!
Schaue mich an, ich stehe vor dir.
Sei bitte mutig!
Küsse mich jetzt und hier! 
Küsse mich jetzt und hier!

Sei mutig!

Whipped up a variation of a previously created backing track that I had arranged using BIAB, and then added a contemporaneous lead while listening and playing along on my Fender Mustang. Mixed it all up and named it 'Light It Up'. Hope it's enjoyed. We all can use a little Light about now.
