“ Tender Is the Torture”…by Doug Roossien 2012 

/Music is the /great hope…pieces of /tears…on strands of /time 
/Every note a /memory…or un/conscious state of /mind… 
Sometimes /pleasure feeds the /vacuum…in a /world that cannot /change 
/Why are we …so /“quick”…to /“hesitate”?

If /love is not a /reason…than /why should we go /on? 
/Tender is the /torture…so /how can this be /wrong? 
To/morrow…there’s no /guarantee…that /you won’t walk a/lone 
But /we only borrow /life before it’s /gone

You /say you have no /soul…but there’s /something you should /know 
The /mirror can be mi/staken…I know /how that story /goes 
Yes, /tender is the /torture…and I’ve /lived with many /pains 
And /paid the price so /many times and /never saw the gains

So /all in all…that’s /how it is…and /as we start a/gain 
The /circle just gets /tighter…but you /still can’t see the /end 
I can’t /promise that I’ll /save you or be /everything you /need 
So /much of me needs /changing…and there’s /just no guarantee

I /think you know I /care so much. That /sometimes I can’t /sleep 
If I /say that I’ll be /kind…just be/lieve… 
Yes /tender is the /torture…but true /love is hard to /find 
So /if you need a /heart…I give you /mine

Speaks for Itself

SPEAKS FOR ITSELF - PRIME TYME x TOUCH x DANKE NOETIC

A song I recorded with my high school band way back in 76. Lead guitar and drums by my dear friends Michael and Frank who both passed away at a young age. Bass by Tony.
For those who do not recognize the image, it's a 45. LOL
We recorded this with our hard earned cash at a local RCA studio. We had a blast.

HELLO MY FRIENDS!  
I recommend navigating this large, chaotic cloud by tracks or playlists.
I am a Drummer/Singer/Songwriter/Guitarist/Producer. I've played in various types of bands over the years, Rock, Folk, Irish, Reggae, Jazz, Funk, Country, and Avant Garde. I'm best known for playing drums through multiple re-incarnations of Shiva's Headband, the eclectic, legendary psychedelic era band from Austin. One of my songs appears on "In the Primo of Life", and I co-wrote "Roots Rock Station" with Spencer Perskin, which first appeared on "Remember The Armadillo" and was re-released on "The Temple of Rock N Roll". I also co-produced the CD, "So You Don't Go Barefoot", by Sue Perskin of Shiva's. This cloud focuses on my songwriting. Credit is given to any and all musicians involved. Otherwise everything you hear I've done myself.
