Some resal hot, swing blues going on here!

Daydream

My friend came over last Sunday, October 5, and started jamming this chord progression. We liked it so we recorded it, hence the very clover song title.  Bob is on the acoustic guitar and I am on the electric guitar.  This is a one-take jam that we thought we would post. 

Band-in-a-Box is supplying the balance of the tracks.

The city’s looking hard tonight 
Sometimes I think the magic is gone 
The voice of Lou Reed in my bones
It’s so funny but it keeps me warm 
Yeah the city’s feeling hard tonight 

The city’s looking dim tonight
Sometimes I see you walking away 
The silent gait and leather boots 
Move below with nothing to say 
Yeah the city’s got it bad tonight 
Yeah the city’s got it bad tonight

The city’s a big mess tonight
But the A Train just keeps on running
Rats and bats and dirty things
Bad guys coming out and gunning
Yeah the city’s tilted red tonight 

The city’s looking hard tonight 
Sometimes I think the soul is gone
Reed and Cohen in a gaslight dream
You in Chelsea in the gray of dawn
Yeah the city’s looking hard tonight 
Oh the city’s looking hard tonight
Yeah the city’s looking hard tonight

V1
How many times have I been told not to leave
Guess I need to find a long bridge to burn
Wanna see glowing embers in my rear view mirror 
You’ve shoved me past the point of no return

Chorus
I think I could make a profession out of revenge
But folks say it’s best served as a cold plate
So I need a little distance, I need a little time
Your days coming but it may be a long wait

V2
I’m not going to worry if my past defines me
In a few minutes I can leave where I lived my whole life
No more you  no more them  only me and the horizon
Any direction will carry me away from the strife 

Chorus

Cold Plate

バレバレ
（作詞　森 林檎　作曲　足立成樹）

改札口から あふれ出す人波
頭一つ飛び出た あなたを見つけた
ホッとした心 素早く押さえて
怒った顔 していたはずだけど
止まらない想いは 見つめる瞳に仕草に
どうしようもないほど こぼれる溢れる
出会ったばかりの こんなのアリかな？
運命のいたずら 始まった

とにかく会いたかった
ずっと会いたかった
でもあなたには この想い
知られたくなかった もう少し
ほんとに会いたかった
すごく会いたかった
もうかくせない この想い
笑っちゃうほど バレバレ

スミレの花束 後ろ手に隠して
「遅くなってごめんね」 差し出す手口は
もしかして前にも 経験済みかな？
花言葉本気にしちゃうよ

いつでも会いたかった
ずっと会いたかった
でも私から この想い
言いたくなかった もう少し
ほんとに会いたかった
すごく会いたかった
もうかくせない この想い
笑っちゃうほど バレバレ

LOVE WITHOUT PAROLE

By David Snyder

V1

Yesterday we were eighteen, I can smell that summer rain
I still miss your breathless kiss, and how your sweetness felt like pain
And yeah,  I remember you, and when I do, I feel in debt, but no regrets
So how come you're the thing that hurts me 
the most when I look back
why would a loving Universe make a heart that works like that   

CH

I think you own some part of me and I can't buy it back  
I'm a hostage to your memory, why did you do that
and there's some tiny hole inside my heart  where you will always be
and I'm doing love without parole, oh yeah 
And no one  knows but you
how much I loved you
and no one knows but you 
what love without parole has done 
to me 

V2

They say the man upstairs
Always has a plan
But the way he makes our hearts
I just don’t understand
One day the world is young
Next day the world is old
One day your heart’s on fire
Next day it’s all gone cold

CH

I think you own some part of me and I can't buy it back  
I'm a hostage to your memory, why did you do that
and there's some tiny hole inside my heart  where you will always be
and I'm doing love without parole, oh yeah 
And no one  knows but you
how much I loved you
and no one knows but you 
what love without parole has done 
to me 
to me,  oh oh  
this love without parole 
this love without parole
is killing me

LOVE WITHOUT PAROLE

After my very dark piece I thought I should lighten it up a little.  Thus this song about beer drinking buddies on vacation.  Band-in-a-Box is supplying the backing tracks.

PS, I am not a singer so any suggestions you can offer would be gratefully appreciated.

  Hold my beer

v-The guys and I  were on a trip
in the mountains high
Drinking lots of beer
acting like crazy guys

v-I'll bet I can slide down this mountain
and miss those trees
just get me a sled
and do this please

c-hold my beer
hold my beer
all great adventures start with
hold my beer 
 
v-we came up in three cars
Two were filled with beer
I'm gonna have a great vacation
Cause the wife ain't here

v-while driving my Kia
on a warm winter day
I'll bet I can drive my car
Across that frozen bay 
 
c-hold my beer
hold my beer
Automotive submarines come by
hold my beer

v-We all brought our instruments
and were playing the blues
I think that was it
Because of all the booze



v-my buddy played a lead
a real shredder
I said give me the chance
And I'll play it better

c-hold my beer
hold my beer
all great guitar licks start with
hold my beer

c-hold my beer
hold my beer
all great adventures start with (3x)
hold my beer

Hold My Beer

So, for Easter, I thought I would not write a song about anyone else's shortcomings, but a song about my own.

JESUS KICK MY ASS

By David Snyder

V1

Sometimes  I say some things 
I  can't believe 
And I’m rude as hell 
Wear it on my sleeve 
I go off half cocked 
And run my mouth  too much 
And my friends all leave and say 
I'm out of touch 

(Pre-Chorus)

Then I turn on some country radio 
And it tells me everything I need to know 

(Chorus)

I don't need a shrink 
I don’t need no therapy
And I don't need  to think
Any more about me 
And  I don't need to take
An anger management class 
No  I just need Jesus 
To kick my ass 
Yeah I say Jesus
Jesus kick my  ass

V2

I get tangled up in pride 
And start cuttin’ off my nose
Acting out of fear
And hurt the ones I love the most

(Pre-Chorus)

Then I turn on some country radio 
And it tells me everything I need to know 

(Chorus)

I don't need a shrink 
I don’t need no therapy
And I don't need  to think
Any more about me 
And  I don't need to take
An anger management class 
No  I just need Jesus 
To kick my ass 
Yeah I say Jesus
Jesus kick my  ass

(Bridge)

I'm tired  of walking
On this broken glass
So I surrender up this flesh
And the things I can’t get past 

(Chorus)

Oh, I don't need a shrink 
I don’t need no therapy
And I don't need to think
Any more about me 
And  I don't need to take
An anger management class 
No  I just need Jesus 
To kick my ass 
Yeah I say Jesus
Jesus kick my  ass
