Peak of Resentment

I first met Thomas through his work with Cecilia, who I'm a fan of, which makes this collaboration very special. He picked the appropriate excerpts from her "Standing In The Moonlight" which, coupled with his chilled reggae groove, give the song a more balanced perspective and positive vibration.

Lyrics:
(him)
My love, you're drifting away
I hear the things that you say
I know the way is steep and full of danger

I keep trying to find
some kind of peace of mind
to keep me from meeting your anger with anger

Most of what you say is right
yes, and no, I don't want to fight
just want to reach resolution, love and contentment
and scale the slippery slopes of Mt. Grudge
to cross on over the Peak of Resentment

(her)
Don't leave me in this silence
Don't leave me in this silence
Don't leave me this way

I know I do no wrong
so wondering if you've been hurting
trying to hold it back, trying to hide
but can't deny, the sentiment is deep inside

(him)
You say I ruined your life
but you still want to be my wife
and you say you forgive me, but you'll never forget

But all I ever wanted from you
was just to do what you wanted to do
to follow your Muse and be free from regret

Now I feel like I'm no damn good
though I tried to do the best that I could
to reach resolution, love and contentment
and scale the slippery slopes of Mt. Grudge
to cross on over the Peak of Resentment

Gotta cross on over baby
roll ya over in the clover
gotta get a little peace in the valley
no more rumble in the alley
Gonna leave all that behind
..................(him)................................................../..............(her).............................
Find some kind state of mind,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, / Don't leave me in this silence
Put our heads & hearts in a peaceful place, / Don't leave me in this silence
Live a life of love and grace ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, / Don't leave me in this silence
Gonna cross on over now baby,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,/ Don't leave me in this silence
if it's the last thing I ever do,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, / Don't leave me in this silence
C'mon cross on over with me with me darlin/ Don't leave me in this silence
Don't ya wanna go there with me too,,,,,,,,,,,, / Don't leave me in this silence
Gotta get on down to a lovin' space,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, / Don't leave me in this silence

Peak Of Resentment  w/ Thomas F. & Special Cecilia

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.
