V1.
I've traveled life's landscape, less than thrilled with it
Never found a journey wind up worth it's trip
But then came you, and my world came undone
The way they say it will, when someone is 'that one'
And now I know with all my soul
That our two were meant to make 1 whole

Ch. 1
See, your voice
Is the sweetest melody I've ever heard
So in front of the world I'm gonna pledge love to you, girl
And call your name
It's my favorite word.

V2.
With every river of emotion, I kicked against it's flow
A cynic never finds a reason to let fate take it's hold
Still, here you stand today - facing me
A sign of everything that loving freely can bring
And undeniably it's true
That finally I know trust's strength in you

Ch. 2.
See your voice
Is the sweetest melody I've ever heard
So with it's song in my ear I wanna grow old with you, girl
And call your name
'Cause it's my favorite word.

Br.
The say that nothing ever comes true until somebody believes in it
They say a dream will never come to be until somebody sees it
But see, I'm living proof there's something to be said for divine faith
Because I've been given something that I know I could never imagine
In your grace
Whoa, yeah - and that's forever and all of time.
Said that's forever and all of time.

Ch. 3
See, your voice
It's the sweetest melody I've ever heard
So 'til death do us part I'm stickin' right here for ya, girl
Yes, I am
And still your name
Will stay my favorite word
...dream girl...

My Favorite Word

My Favorite Word (radio edit)

The Song

My, my, my, my heaven
Forever I'll love ya, mmm-hmm.

When I met you back in '91
Girl, you were too fine to be so young
Me? I was shaky like a beat that wouldn't keep time
or feel the woman you'd become inside
But now that I'm older, said I know so much more
Like not to walk away from heaven when you're standing in its' door
And I found that place right here in your arms.
So won't you let me in babe, 'cause

This is the song I've been waiting my whole life long to sing
And you are the dream only the Lord above could bring into being
And forever I'll love ya
Faithfully


So here I am living in L.A.
but never once felt the sun 'til you came back my way
And all the realness that I used to look past and through (you're so real, baby)
Now I can't see nothin' else 'cause I need what's true
See, baby I'm wiser, and I've learned so much more
Like not to turn away an angel when she's waiting at your door
In you I had one there, right here, in my arms
So won't you come again baby, 'cause

This is the song I've been waiting my whole life long to sing
And you are the dream only the Lord above could bring into being
Said forever I'll love ya
Faithfully

Oh, I know life's storms will keep coming
But there's nothing strong enough to tear this love's house down
Oh, don't you know,
I don't care what others may say or do
My one concern is being a good man to you
A good man, baby; A good man!
To you.
Oh, yeah.  Woah, yeah.

So this is the song I've been waiting my whole life long to sing
(Baby, you're the perfect melody. Yeah, yeah, yeah.)
And you are the dream only the Lord above could bring into being
Said forever I'll love, love, love ya
Faithfully

(It's forever, our love. Forever I'll love ya. It's forever, our love)

This is the song I've been waiting my whole life long to sing
   (Baby, you're the perfect melody. Yeah.)
And you are the dream only the Lord above could bring into being
And forevver I'll love ya
Faithfully
          (It's forever, our love.  Forever I'll love ya.)
Said forever I'll love ya
Faithfully
          (It's forever, our love.  Forever I'll love ya.)
   (Girl I'll always treat you right)
Said forever I'll love ya
          (It's forever, our love.  Forever I'll love ya.)
Faithfully
   (Every morning, noon and night, yeah!)
          (It's forever, our love.)
Said forever I'll love, love, love ya...

...Faithfully

The Song

The Song (radio edit)

From the forthcoming December, 2023 full-length release, 'The Final Testament of Erysichthon', Boy Met Girl was conceived as a tribute to two Minneapolis, MN, songwriters who both had profound and enduring influence on my own artistry.

This tribute was approached by imagining what a collaboration (however seemingly unlikely) between Prince and Paul Westerberg might sound like - both in a finished product, but perhaps just as importantly, how the effort might likely change as it evolved through various iterations at different junctures of the creative process as it was written and recorded (and, perhaps even tugged back and forth a little bit).

V1.
Hey there, man!  How ya been?  It's been a long time.
Oh, yeah - the rumors are swirling all over town
I can feel it in their eyes.
So what if they know
I'm the loneliest soul they've ever seen?
It just doesn't matter, if I've lost that queen.
Oh, no.

Ch.
So I'm boarding this redeye to NYC
Doubtful that she will even see me
In Radio City.
(I've got to go to Radio City.)
Suspect she might have more to confess,
But seems she's moved on nevertheless,
in Radio City.
Where my heart stopped beating:
Radio City


V2.
'Mornin', sir.  Checking in, yes.  It's been a little while.
Oh, no - this time the room'll just be for one.
It's that "plus-one" that I'm here to find.
Tell me - so, have you caught the show yet?
Oh, I'm sure it's still the bee's knees.
But this time I'm here to find out if she truly don't want me
No more.

Ch.
So I boarded a redeye to NYC
Doubtful that she will even see me
In Radio City.
(Oh, I had to get here! Radio City!)
Suspect she might have more to confess,
But seems she's moved on nevertheless,
in Radio City.
Where my heart stopped beating:
Radio City.

Br.
I thought I'd heard that if love could make it there
That love could make it anywhere
But by the time I had stepped in the place, I knew
My ears had lied on love's name

Ch.
So I'm boarding the first thing from NYC
'Cause that girl, she wouldn't even see me
At Radio City.
(Oh, no, no, no!  Radio City.)
Suspect she still has more to confess
But she's already found new love, more or less,
At Radio City.
Where my heart's still bleeding:

That's Radio City.

The Song [NOW AVAILABLE ON ALL MAJOR STREAMING PLATFORMS!!! - links below]

"There's Blood on your hands, dear reverend..."

Dear Reverend
[From for the forthcoming 2023 debut full-length release, The Final Testament of Erysichthon, Vol. 2.]

- Written, arranged, composed and performed by Daron Anthony Randolph

V1.
There's blood on your hands, dear reverend.
Heed the words I say.
Sacrilege stands at your altar,
This cold, Carolinian day.
'Cause it's painfully clear to see
That God meant her for me.
Ohhh, for me.
Hey, yeah, yeah.

V2.
There's blood on your hands, dear reverend.
Hear the angels' cries.
Blasphemy rains down on your chapel;
Behold, it's magenta skies.
And it's painfully clear to see
That God meant her for me.
Ohhh, for me.
Hey, yeah, yeah.

Now, girl, you listen to me:

Br.
See, we'll be together some way,
(Darlin')
No matter what vows you fake today.

Ain't it painfully clear to see, Darling?
God meant you for me!

See now, Reverend
I know this is that part
Where ain't nobody really meant to say nothin',
But I...
Oh, I need to tell you, Reverend:
If I don't speak now,
Ain't gon' be no peace.

I came to tell you:
Hey!
Wait!
That's my girl!

You'd better...
Stop!
Reverend!
She's my world!
