LYRICS:
Chelsea Summer Nights (Acoustic)        

I’ll meet you down in New York City
By the ghosts of the Chelsea Hotel
We’ll take a room filled with secrets
The kinds of secrets the river won’t tell

Lay with me, Rock and Roll Beauty
Sing to me of Bobby McGee
Touch me like there is redemption
The more pleasure, the more we are free

There are no promises at night
But there’s eternity within your light

Time marches on
But the secrets of our youth
Hold me captive
How I once loved you
Time marches on
But you are my truth
Chelsea Summer Nights
I’m not afraid to die

Meet me down in the West Village
We’ll pretend we’re tourists again
Pretend we’re in love, my darling
Glimpse the way we were back then

I hailed you like a yellow taxi
Take me home to the Chelsea Hotel

I paid dearly for that fare
I paid with my soul, my heart laid bare

Time marches on
But the secrets of our youth
Hold me captive
How I once loved you
Time marches on
But you are my truth
Chelsea Summer Nights
I’m not afraid to die

Solo

You said we are the fortunate few
Who have the gift of words set to
Songs of hallelujah-lu
We’re baby birds cracking through
The shells of our ego
Your heart is my halo
You sing like an angel
Angel
Angel

CHORUS

Chelsea Summer Nights (Acoustic)

though/t she was a friend

I’ve got some Dylan
Some Velvet Underground
“Chelsea Girls”
On this mixtape I found
Ribbon on a reel 
My life in sound
Yeah ribbon on a reel
My life in sound

I’ve got some Bowie
From the old “Low” days
The thin white lines
And the foggy haze
The songs get played
Then fade away
Yeah the songs get played
Then fade away

I’ve got some Patti
Singing “Dream Of Life”
She’s howling out dreams
Into the deep dark night
It feels so alive
So it’s alright
Yeah it feels so alive
So it’s alright

I’ve got some Leonard
On this old Walk Man
He comes up after Joni
“So Long Marianne”
Such a heartbreak
Guess he wasn’t her man
Yeah such a heartbreak
Guess he wasn’t her man

Cause that’s my life 
This mixtape I found
Yeah that’s my life 
My replay life in sound
Cause that’s my life 
This mixtape I found
Yeah that’s my life 
My replay life in sound

MIXTAPE (with Joliz)

I "covered" the well known song, 
"Hallelujah" written and performed by Leonard Cohen, then done by Jeff Buckley and now it's my turn.....and not trying to "rob the graves of the dead" here....I wish people didn't do that.

Tower of Song (demo)

What happens when a son says goodbye… not just to a parent, but to the version of himself that played small to earn their love? In this raw and revealing episode, we explore the healing of a mother-son bond during cancer, the surprising connection between parenthood and peak business performance, and how social anxiety can be a gateway to discovering your voice. From Leonard Cohen’s writing rituals to the courage it takes to be truly intimate — this is a masterclass in authenticity, artistry, and leadership for those brave enough to go beyond the surface. This isn’t just a story. It’s a mirror. Are you ready to meet yourself in it?

Famous Blue Raincoat - Leonard Cohen - [Cover version]

A song about the coming to terms with and moving on from the end of a relationship, drawing our best lessons, growth though adversity, and whether it's possible to truly break the cycles that so often define our existence. Samsara.
