Love can be brutal apparently...

You Shot Me With The Moon
If I was a river I would flow to your lips
If I was a slow dance baby
I would sway on your hips
But I’m just a silly rabbit with a taste for your Trix™
And I love it when you dazzle and confuse me

You shot me with the moon
You flashed me with the sun
You rolled me in the ocean
You dropped me from a tree
You kissed me like a train
You shot me and I’m laughin’

If I was a flower I would bloom from your breath
If I was a rain drop baby
I would get you all wet
But I’m just another loafer with my soul in a sweat
And I love it when you dangle and amuse me

You shot me with the moon
You flashed me with the sun
You rolled me in the ocean
You dropped me from a tree
You kissed me like a train
You shot me and I’m laughin’

But I hope the time will come when I can shake the coldness in your heart
And let you feel the warmth of my embrace
And shatter your iron curtain

You shot me with the moon
You flashed me with the sun
You rolled me in the ocean
You dropped me from a tree
You kissed me like a train
You shot me and I’m laughin’

You Shot Me With The Moon (version 1)

If there is someone in your life who you love but you can see they're full of it, this is the song for you...  Block out the negative asap.

HEAVEN IS EASY

If you should only give me heartache
Then I should give it back to you
I see no reason to feel lousy
Based on the lousy things you do
Well the laws have been passed
No more screaming on my cell phone
I will hang up and make it my last
conversation with you that day
Don’t need the aggravation!

Heaven isn’t always far away
Heaven is so easy when you’re willing to shut
out the negative
Heaven isn’t always far away
Heaven...
all you’ve got to do is shut out the negative
Shut out the negative spawn

You often cry of "no commitment"
When your whole life remains untied
You say my love for you is empty
But the truth you can’t deny
Well who else will put up with your mood swings
And critical tongue that too often breaks the
boundaries of taste
So please forgive me now, I’m cutting the strings
Don’t need this aggravation

Heaven isn’t always far away
Heaven is so easy when you’re willing to shut
out the negative
Heaven isn’t always far away
Heaven...
all you’ve got to do is shut out the negative
Shut out the negative spawn

(Pseudo mantra) :
Peace and happiness awaits you child
Peace and happiness awaits you child
Peace and happiness awaits you child
Peace and happiness awaits you child

Heaven is Easy

John Tabacco is an American composer, singer songwriter, producer, recording engineer, multi instrumentalist and graphic artist. He has engineered /mixed and mastered music for hundreds of New York recording artists as well as projects released on BMG: The Kemelions, RCA: Faze, Rampage/Rhino: Rhett Forrester, Columbia: Rebbie Jackson, Rykodisc : Bob Marley, Columbia: Chris Jasper, Electra: Sonia Dada and Nickleodeon’s Are You Afraid Of The Dark? He is the CEO of It Iz What It Iz Music Publishing which currently holds over 600 songs in its catalog. He has been an associate producer for IndiMusic TV and hosts a bi-weekly radio program (CLAM RADIO) on college radio WUSB.fm since 1999.

His musical background consists of extensive study of orchestration with noted 20th century composer John Lessard, harmony with the late electronic music maverick Bulent Arel, and composition with Stony Brook University professor Peter Winkler. He received his BA in Music from Stony Brook University in 1983. 

Like an unfolding musical diary / puzzle, Tabacco’s music and art are constantly being re-worked, juxtaposed and intertwined. His style is a melding of pop - jazz -rock - avant garde / aleatory, classical and comedy.  He has been recording his music non stop since 1979.

Of note: In 1989 the satirical, absurd house song "Go House Yourself" co-written by Tabacco, Pati and DiMauro reached position 39 on Billboard's dance chart. 

In 2014 Tabacco signed a record deal with Texas, indie label, Muffin Records. They released his CD “Unfulfilled Shopping Carts Syndrome” internationally.

Artist. Author. Cartographer. Conservationist. Designer. Filmmaker. Historian. Musician. Scientist. Soldier. These are but a few of the labels I have been called over the course of my life. However, I feel that there is one word that most accurately describes my true nature: Explorer.
