Wonderful track.  Impressive vocals & harmonies.

yep, them good ol dayss ! gives flashbacks

great track, great vocal and music, love it.

really enjoyed listening to that. Great work man.

great lyrical story, captures a not uncommon circumstance of getting older, can be hard to keep the passion sometimes

The true story of when my friend Brad (Joey Ramone look alike ) and myself headed downtown in a drunken haze hoping to hear the Ramones soundcheck from outside the Commodore ballroom. As we headed behind the club up the alley walks Dee Dee Ramone in full leather jacket regalia. I made a drunken b-line to him and picked him up off his feet high in the air in a full bear hug. I could hear Dee Dee laughing as I held him up in the air when I heard "HEY" as his body guard closed in on me. I put Dee Dee down carefully and before my certain impending death by bodyguard Dee Dee says "he's my friend!"Leave him alone"and smiled at me before walking away. Thanks for saving me Dee Dee! This songs for you!

The Day I Picked Up Dee Dee Ramone

Undead rise up from the muddy grounds
Shadows lurking in the dead of night

Distorted minds and jaded deep within
Hand in hand in a world immersed in flames

Come and see...
And I saw and my eyes began to bleed
Come and see...
And I looked and I teared my eyes out

In a moment, in a dream we danced
As raindrops fell and washed away all fears
In dark hearts, a pure flame, of love
In this our moment before the end

Distorted minds and jaded deep within
Hand in hand in a world immersed in flames

Can you feel, the shifting? 
Can you feel the change that's coming... 

Everything's in motion, and soon everything will change
Life will tear the both of us apart
I'll follow you down my love, knowing all is gonna be ok...
We're falling yet ascending knowing all is gonna be ok... 

Come and see...
And I saw and my eyes began to bleed
Come and see...
And I looked and I teared my eyes out
Come and see

Come & see

Come And See

Zen, but...

Hmmm...
Got out of bed yesterday.
Big mistake.
Looked at the state of the world.
Bigger mistake.
Wrote some words.
Set them to some beautiful music called "Undertow" by Scott Buckley.
Went back to bed.

The Ghost of Emmett Kelly

I flip the switch and watch my beams of dark pervert the course of natural light;
Extinguish each and every spark as linear hope reverts to fractal night.
The book of smiles is gently closed again, to morph the focus of the clown,
And all the while the ghost of Emmett Kelly sweetly bends and folds and wraps itself around.
I know just this, as so it goes, my greasepaint mists rise soft as funereal pillars on tarragon air,
And blow a bitter kiss to the chrome politicos, life-chance serial killers, 
Their absolutions rent with arrogant flair.

And so, goodbye, wet sentient corpse in which what's me has hades-lived.
Lunatic humanity, inhumane insanity of spent remorse is more than I can e'er forgive.
So ripe the stench of moral theft, the parliamentary pocket pickers, 
Senatorial objects of the cripple orphan's legacy bereft, 
Stole to buy the crackpot projects of the deafened right and blinded left.
Sequential crimes so deft impart the tabloids' craven bumper stickers, their
Purchase of the heavy votes, the most depraven,
The blackest hearts, clad of darkest coats.

Ah, but enough, enough.  Now all excuse forsaken, the term is hereby duly ended.  
My eternal future rudely naked, lies nearby, undefended
By the advocate's weeping trope.
And thus with thoughts that grope within; 
The kick of chair, the taut of rope, 
The judgement, where, as twitching pulse with breath elopes, 
For the clamour of the other-worldly circus fair.
Whence, as pealing death greets pended mortal sin of sins.  
Life through the portal of hell's ring of glamour now begins.

This was yet another co-write hi-jack  
Deborah Holland started the song
She wrote some lyrics - Sent them to me 
And said "Your turn"
And it was never her turn again
Sorry, Deb

ANYTHING FOR MONEY

Everybody's desperate
Everybody's old
We're all buying lotto tickets
And doing what we're told
Some folks get sick
Some folks just look at you funny
These days some folks'll do
Anything For Money

Everybody’s hurtin'
Everybody's sad
Everyone has problems
That have gotten pretty bad
Some folks just look at you funny
These days some folks'll do
Anything For Money

Everybody's lonely
Everybody's cold
We're all buying lotto tickets
And getting really old
Back when I was younger
I believed in milk & honey
I have lower standards now I'll do...
Anything For Money
®richard goldman / deborah Holland  2012

Richard Goldman's Album

ANYTHING FOR MONEY '12

Ah,the times were good
We had a ball
We didn't make much money
Sometimes none at all

We played our songs
Believed the part
All that we played and sang
Came from the heart

Remember when the fire burned bright
Playing those songs every night

Ah time moves fast
But we move slow
Nothing ever lasts
We weren't to know

Burned out and faded
The passion gone
Going through the motions
For every well known song

Remember when the fire burned bright
Playing those songs every night

Remember when the fire burned bright
Playing those songs every night

This is my first solo venture. It's an album of ten songs and it can be downloaded  from bandcamp free,or for whatever you deem it worth. I'd be happy if you just take a copy and listen to my musical ramblings. 
Thanks to all who take the time.  :)

A while back I viewed s/c as merely a hosting platform for posting on forums,but then I realised there was access to so many wonderful compositions by other folk,it then became my prime source of listening to music.
This little corner of the internet is actually a thriving musical community where nobodies such as myself can share songs with the great and the good.
All that just has to be positive and welcome.
Thanks to all who listen and comment,be assured I will return the favour,as I love finding new artists. Please don't follow me if you are going to unfollow,I only wish to listen and share music,I am not a follower collector.


Songs are a mix of solo work with all instruments played by myself,plus my own world weary vocals! I tend to favour my home made Telecasters and a Strat,though the odd acoustic makes an appearance. I use Logic Pro X and am a recent convert to DAW.

I play and write for the joy of expression and always with the hope my songs may be a positive force to anyone who takes time to listen. I'm an old boy now,so I harbour no dreams of success in the conventional sense,having the odd comment is just fine for me. Thanks to all who bother.

 Also earlier songs from a project in 2015, with Fiona and Martin Magill,Vocals and keys. Martin is a very talented working keyboard player,but sadly Fiona no longer sings. Our loss.
Lastly there are tracks from late 80s/early 90s from SOS,a band I was in back then.
