What Is You (old panic brain demo)

I know that we shared the girl
but I am not the boy that  you once knew
and if if you were in trouble
would I still look out for you

oooh ooh

and if if I was to live
throughout this whole life again
I yeah I have come to doubt
whether I would even call you friend

or would I just sit right there and rue  the day
I'd ever seen your bloody face before

and if if you were cold would I offer you my coat
and if say one day you were lost
would I show you where to go

or would I just sit right there and rue the day
I'd ever seen your bloody face before

I know things are strange
not the way they used to be
sometimes we all change

what Became of you and
what Became of you and
what Became of you and me
what Became of you and me
what Became of you and me 


sometimes I like to remenisce
think back on all the places
where we used to go
Jukebox purple hearts and questions
but how the hell am I supposed to know

remember when we used to venture South
closing time and they're gonna throw us out
but we we just wanna stay
and re-live all our yesterday's today

or would I just sit right there and rue the day
I'd ever seen your bloody face before

 would I just sit right there and rue the day
I'd ever seen your bloody face before

I know things are strange
not the way they used to be
sometimes we all change

what Became of you and
what Became of you and
what Became of you and me
what Became of you and me
what Became of you and me 



What Became Of You And Me

Lived on Blues Point Road for 10 years, till 2020. That's Blues Point Hotel in the pic. I thought 'Blues Point Road' would make a good name for a guitar blues!

With great sadness I announce the passing of my good friend, bandmate, and Soundcloud artist, mandolinist Patrick Howell.  Some of you knew of his valiant battle with cancer and supported him in prayer and the warmest of well wishes.  He succumbed to the disease July 17, 2023 surrounded by a loving family who helped usher him into the presence of the Lord Jesus.  Besides being a beloved friend and brother in Christ, he was also a muse for me, challenging me to take his little "ditties" and make them into songs.  I will be featuring those songs in the coming weeks in my "Spotlight", but for now I pay tribute to his life and talent with how he beautifully decorated this special song two years ago with his playing.  Rest in the sweetest peace my friend until the Lord awakens you.

When You Awake (with Pat Howell, Mandolin)

Admire the Chaos 
A song for a strong independent woman who doesn’t suffer fools gladly and makes you admire her chaos.



V1 
I love the way you don’t suffer fools, gladly, and you tell them what you think
It must be your superpower and tonight you look so  pretty in ink 
And I love the shock on their faces 
It’s like you tied together their laces 


Chorus 
I will Sit back admire the chaos 
And watch it unfold 
I Sit back admire the chaos
And watch the room explode 

V2 
I love the way you are and stand your ground at the bar
And reduce grown men to become smaller than they are 
There’s always something scary about a woman’s scorn
But your not scary just chaos i adore


Chorus 
I will Sit back admire the chaos 
And watch it unfold 
I Sit back admire the chaos
And watch the room explode

Admire The Chaos ~ Conscience Of Kings

I like Soundcloud because it's a friendly community for sharing our music. When I comment on a track, I like to say something about how you wrote, performed or produced it. I have musically diverse interests: pop/rock, jazz-rock fusion, prog & alternative rock, blues, classical and neoclassical, to mention some. Main instrument is guitar; I'm not a keyboard player or singer, but hopefully I can do enough there to make my work sound ok.
