Striking lyrical imagery Steve. You have your very own genre nailed down airtight. Cool work man.

Excellent lyrics and great groove guitar work!

Another beautifully polished, finely crafted song, Steve. Excellent lyrics, choice music, wonderful vibes. Hope you're having fun, playing that jazz on your yacht : )

Outstanding songwriting Steve! Love the word smithing and rhythm of your words as they sling their arrows with great deliberation. A terrific creation! Durge

Ask The Weather For Rain

It reminds me of life before livin' - It's my truth but take away givin'
It's my hope for the dead not the livin' HO,HO,HO, HOpium

Like a firefly burning out in the night

HOpium - Like a man with his hand out
HOpium - Like a screamer that can't shout
HOpium - A dollar sign in a penny jar
HOpium - A rock that can't be thrown far

Like a light bulb burning out under the bleachers
Like a funky hand of god and just a bevy of preachers
Like a soul suckin' mutt but it's devoid of all features
HO, HO, HO, HOpium

Kind of like COpium it gives you a reason
Like swimmin' in the summer sun when you're really freezin'
Take another snort and you'll be sure to be sneezin'
HO.HO,HO, HOpium

HOpium

GREATEST HITS

I’m blowin’ notes streetside in a horn section   
Blown garbage and coppered boots all gone tangling. 
You’re Bixby’s Bridge above Kerouac’s canyon.  
Way above the ruts in your trending fashion      

You’ve been playin’ me your greatest hits.    
But I need from you something ordinary (Like)           
Falling vacant down a slip               
What capture’s me is the fragmentary - humanity

You’re all coiff n pressed jeans uber-reaching
Gripping on to a scene and about it beseeching
You’re jetting over Miller’s Big Sur resident shack
History is nothing but a scratch on your back

You’ve been playin’ me your greatest hits. . .  
But I need from you something ordinary (Like)           
A eureka moment guilt trip               
What capture’s me is the fragmentary – humanity

What was I just a birthright the right side of the tracks
But egalitarian ideas caught you in a trap
Trying to show a social conscience don’t come naturally
Such a handbrake on life’s beckoning verdant tapestry

You’ve been playin’ me your greatest hits. . .  
You’ve been playin’ me your greatest hits. . .

When I See You
----------------

When i see you
I could almost puke
When I see you
A strange shudder goes through and through
When I See You
My head turns bloodred
While the world shifts in two halves
And none of them would last
Without the other one…

When i see you
And that happens now and then again
It’s too uneasy to explain
My knees tremble
My mouth is all dry
My tongue is paralyzed
I break out in a sweat
I have to look at the ground
My breathing gallops
And then my heart that pounds
And am all agitated
I avoid all pictures of you
Try not to think about it too much
Close my inner eye, too…

When i see you
And that happens now and then again
Oh, it’s so uneasy to explain
My knees tremble
My mouth is all dry
My tongue is paralyzed
I break out in a sweat
I have to look on the ground
My breathing gallops
And then my heart that pounds… ahh…

solo

When i see you
You never talk to me
No reaction you show
Just stand somewhere off silently,
Peripheral,
In the background
Wthout a sound
How can I see what is not there ?
How can I remind what never took place ?
How can I feel that i was close to you,
Even if that was unreal, ?
And if I’d see you
As a monster,
As a hypocrate,
As a drama queen ?
And if i’d see you
As a mirror image ?
As a saviour ?
As a lover … ?

When I see you
Oh, when i see you
It’s so uneasy to explain
It’s too uneasy to explain…
When do I see you ?
When will i see you ?
When will i see you again ?
