01/17/2025 There was a time I thought my little songs could actually "change the world"; that perhaps music could make us all more kind, compassionate, tolerant, empathic, less violent, less greedy, or at a minimum, happier. 

I have always hoped we could navigate our differences with words rather than weapons and that humanity could as a whole, truly practice reverence for the planet and all the living creatures who share it with us. 

But, I see now how absolutely naive I was. The despair, suffering, destruction, and apathy that continues now, many years after I wrote this song, has not changed. Some things, are better but many things, are not; however, I remain hopeful that humanity will eventually work things out and I, in any way that I can, will keep trying to make things better. And so I decided, I would finish producing this song and include it in my first album; an album which on many days might be the continuation of a journey, or on other days, the end of a journey.

Track 5 from my album. I hope you enjoy it.

I should be happy  
With all of my life
I should be satisfied 
But I’m not
Why do I carry 
The weight of the world on my back
Why should I care
When no one else does

I am a slave 
To the thoughts that I have
I need to change the world
With these tired hands 
Don’t turn me off 
Don’t turn me down
Don’t shut me in 
Don’t throw me out
And I might go crazy
But you might come around
       
At the back door 
You will find me
And I might never leave
At the back door 
You will find me
These tired hands are bleeding
 
Should I worry
If it all goes to hell
Can I live my life in apathy
Like everybody else
Why am I here 
What can I change
These reckless times  
I’m not to blame
Isn’t anybody out there
Isn’t anyone afraid

At the back door 
You will find me
And I might never leave
At the back door 
You will find me
Begging on my knees
At the back door 
You will find me
These tired hands are bleeding

I’m your disease
I’m  your despair
I’m like a flea
I’m in your hair
I’m breeding in your conscience
When you don’t want me there

At the back door 
You will find me
And I might never leave
At the back door 
You will find me
Begging on my knees
At the back door 
You will find me
A wounded heart grieves
At the back door 
You will find me yeah yeah yeah

At the back door 
You will find me
And I might never leave
At the back door 
You will find me
Cause I'm begging on my knees
At the back door 
You will find me
A wounded heart grieves
At the back door 
You will find me
These tired hands are reaching

Lyrics by David Cooper

Living on an island
Watch the waves roll by
Wake up in the morning
And see the deep blue sky

Far away from humanity
Far away from the life they lead
Life is so easy
And that’s all I need

Chorus

So let me stay, let me stay - for a long time
So let me stay, let me stay - for a long time

Bridge

So little lady, let me see
The love that you have for me
Love that runs so wild and free
Come on baby, give it to me

Dancing to the calypso beat
Just feel your body heat
Walk the white sandy beach
Life like this ain’t out of reach

Palm trees sway in the breeze
The pace of life is full of ease
Mañana is the word to hear
Life is full, life is so clear

Chorus

Living on an island
Watch the waves roll by
Wake up in the morning
And see the deep blue sky

Bridge

So little lady, let me see
The love that you have for me
Love that runs so wild and free
Come on baby, give it to me

Lyrics:
I’m a pattern on a patchwork heart
What am I gonna do with my little part?
Cover up everything that’s dark?
Or shoot light outta my heart

Like a rainbow
Cut through the clouds
Like a rainbow

Do da do Do da do

Shuffling along inside my shoes
Walking on a different road than you

Do da do Do da do

I’m hoping we can find a thread to share

Seems to me we’re really quite the same
Really quite the same
We’re different patterns cut in different shapes

Ooo, are you?
Maybe not, maybe we are
The same thing, underneath this
Ooo, are you?
Maybe not, but what if we are
The same thing, underneath this?

Do you wanna make a patchwork heart?
We are only strong as the thread holding us together
Double seam on the things that we really need
To hold the light in our hearts

Like a rainbow

Cut through the clouds
Like a rainbow

Shoot out my heart
Like a rainbow

You’re in my heart
Like a rainbow

Stick together like a patchwork heart
And shine our light

Like a rainbow
It’s the colour of light

Stick together like a patchwork heart
And shine our light
Like a rainbow
It’s the colour of light

Like a rainbow
It’s the colour of light

Like a rainbow
It’s the colour of light

Patchwork Heart with Weathered Hearts

I have always liked the sound of the flute.
There are many of them. I was looking for a specific sound. 
But I didn't know what it was called correctly. 
Finally, years later, I found the flute I wanted. I was so happy. 
This type of flute is called "Low Whistle C#". Kind of Native American style.
I wanted to add a flute to at least one song.but then it became part of Leafage and was added to several songs. Very unexpected for me.
Also i found myself to play on some percussion (djembe) and Jew's harp (Vargan, Dan Moi)
It brings some Folk vibes to songs. Especially on this one "Resurrection" track

I write You a Poem   - new June 26

If you have ever felt caught in the eddies of your own….. creation
If thunder has ever echoed through your bones
If you can't make those rapids any louder
Then shout, so I can hear you beneath the foam

I'll lend you a hand

Wanderer
David Husted

V1
In these rapids wild, my spirit roams,
Where the waters rush, and dreams find homes,

I'm a wanderer

I'm a traveler lost in a swirling tide,
Searching for truth, in waters deep and wide.

I'm a wanderer

Pre Ch
Caught in the eddies of my own….. creation
Thunder echoes through my bones
Can't make those rapids any louder
Shout, cause I can't hear beneath the foam

Ch
I'm a wanderer
This current takes its toll
This water carries me
on this journey all alone

I'm a wanderer
This current takes its toll
This water carries me
on this journey all alone

V2
I reckon with the choices I have made
And let the past slowly fade

Fade

Jam Break
Ahhhhh section

Ch

Courage of Fools

Wanderer
