Riff Beach - RiffWerx 
(Original - 2023)
Closing my eyes, I think of you
And my world is yours to take
You are my dream come true
And, I want you there when I awake
Can't you hear me calling?
You're the one I'm longing for
If we're really here together
I'll never have to dream you anymore
Oh Yeah, Now Baby
Let's Get Real
Oh, No, No, No, I'm not crazy
But now you know just how I feel
Through all the Years
And the Joys....and the Tears
We smiled right through the pain
You know we can do it better
We can build it all back again

Sunny Beaches

Just a simple, minimally produced Original Tune reflecting on Happy Moments in Life. Sometimes, we all need to embrace and grab onto the present and the beauty in this World whenever we can.

My mind crashed on a tumbling wave
While walking along some familiar shore
Little moments that we crave
Yet, we’re still left wanting more
(Chorus)
Come sit next to me by the fire
Let us shimmer in the light
As those flames keep dancing higher
Love’s burning in our hearts tonight
Some say nothing lasts forever
One day we’ll remember when
Making memories together
While we share the love within
As the cool sand soothes our souls
Let us never lose this desire
We both know what the future holds
When our hearts are set on fire
So, say goodnight to the sun
As the fire casts its amber glow
When the world just feels numb
I know a special place where we can go

Original version of this song composed and written by New Zealand Frontman for the band Crowded House, Neil Finn, and released in October 1986 as the fourth single from the album of the same name. I'm quite obviously NO Tribute Band or Performer in that sense. Yet, always loved this tune and sketched it in my own AcoustaTronic style, even though well outside of my wheelhouse. It's how I learn and attempt to improve my own original songwriting and production.  Appreciate plays and feedback, but only intended for enjoyment and with all due respect to the Original. I make no money from my musical meandering, but put forth best efforts regardless.
Don't Dream It's Over 
(1986 - Crowded House)
… There is freedom within
There is freedom without
Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup
There's a battle ahead
Many battles are lost
But you'll never see the end of the road
While you're travelling with me
… Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know they won't win
… Now I'm towing my car
There's a hole in the roof
My possessions are causing me suspicion
But there's no proof
In the paper today
Tales of war and of waste
But you turn right over to the TV page
… Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know they won't win
… Now I'm walking again
To the beat of a drum
And I'm counting the steps to the door of your heart
Only shadows ahead
Barely clearing the roof
Get to know the feeling of liberation and release
… Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
You know they won't win
… Don't let them win (Hey now, hey now)
Hey now, hey now
Hey now, hey now
Don't let them win (They come, they come)
Don't let them win (Hey now, hey now), yeah
Hey now, hey now

Give me fresh coffee beans….. I’ll wake up feeling fine
Until I’m fed through The Daily Grind
It sure seems good while it’s churning away
But, I’m all ground up at the end of the day
Got a tune in my head that’s searching for words
Searching for something that’s never been heard
Pebbles in a quarry all mixed into a load
Smashed into gravel and used to build a road
(Chorus)
Change in my pocket and nothing but time
I’m Working my way through The Daily Grind
Sometimes, I swear….I’m losing my mind
‘Cuz, I’m so worn from The Grind
(Oh, and I’m so worn from The Grind)
Put some coffee on to start my day
Don’t want to work, just hang out and play
Sometimes, I swear I’m losing my mind
Want more from life than The Daily Grind
Cuz’ I’m so tired of The Grind

Acoustic strings dancing along on a cool breeze under the hot Summer sun. Rumble and sparkle of solid wood Martin Dread, strung with Martin Marquis Silked Phosphor Bronze 12's.....what it likes best. Re-stringing smaller bodies (000-OM's) with Martin Silk & Steel 11-47's. Yet, The Big Boy most wants to feed on PhosBronze. :D))))
