All The Things You Ain't

It Keeps on Raining Down
George Sanger/Steve Kirk

VERSE:
Build your time machine, but
Please don’t change a single thing
Tempting as it seems,
We might miss what's happening

Swimming in a dream, a
cozy, lazy, slipping stream
Trade our grey routine
For all the gifts your day will bring

PRE-CHORUS
‘Cause when I feel this (I can fly)
We get to feel bliss (Get to cry)
We get to be this (Don't know why)

CHORUS:
So bright and unashamed, we can
Never be the same it's so
Lovely and it keeps on raining down
So beautiful and free, for as
Far as I can see see,  it's so
Lovely and the love keeps raining down
On me

VERSE:
So sell me everything, I'd
Like to buy it sight unseen
Everything's so clean, 
Crystal clear, each moment's been

PRE-CHORUS
A tangerine kiss (from the sky)
We get to feel bliss (Get to cry)
We get to be this (Don't know why)

CHORUS

Here's a piece of music I wrote for the Charlie Brown game, Snoopy Pop.

another great Tacuma tune from this year's summer concert.

DREAMSCAPE

'911' was recorded October 3, 2001 by a group of some New York City's leading session musicians and audio professionals. We all assembled for one day with a 'We Are The World' spirit to record as 'Gotham Artists'. This project was created with the desire to provide comfort and consolation to our then wounded city and country, and if it were possible, to help heal the world (and our own souls, too), though music.

911


911- The World ended...
And started all over again...

I just wanted to say I love you
In case tomorrow never comes.
If I sit staring over the rooftops
I’m just searching for the sun.

I’m just searching for the sun.

911- The World ended
And started all over again.
We saw the towers fall; I felt small.
Thank God, you’ve got an angel for a friend.

An angel for a friend.

Last night I worried that when I got home
You wouldn’t be waiting for me
I closed my eyes and tried to reached out
But I couldn’t wake from this dream.

No,  I couldn’t wake up from this dream.

911- The World ended
And started all over again.
We saw the towers fall; I felt small.
Thank God, you’ve got an angel for a friend.

An angel for a friend.

So, if and when I finally wake up
I don’t know how I will feel.
Everything is different now.
I don’t know what is real.

No, nothing seems quite real.

Still, I’m trying to be hopeful.
Say a prayer for all of us.
Ask how can anyone be so hateful,
When what the world needs is so much love.

911- The World ended
And started all over again.
We saw the towers fall; I felt small.
Thank God, you’ve got an angel for a friend.

An angel for a friend.

911- The World ended...
And started all over again...

Television is My God
By Terry O’Gara
Performed by Terry O'Gara and Eric Schermerhorn. 

The Media is crazy
Covers war like it’s old hat
But a politician has a soiree
And we’re all over that.

Remote in hand I’m a powerful man
Feel the Spirit of Chaos move through me
3-2-1 now quiet please
Fade in someone cue me-

Television is my God
So I pray to the deified blonde
We’re young and beautiful now
But tomorrow we’ll be gone...

In Ad Land it’s heaven
We’re rich and irresponsible
The evening news at seven
Even tragedy is beautiful.

The TV like an IV
Please don’t let them disconnect me
Ginger Spice has left the band
Would you burn a votive candle for me?

Television is my God
So I pray to the deified blonde
We’re young and beautiful now
But tomorrow we’ll be gone...

As seen on TV
Democracy and poverty
Just as long as you see me
And give me all of your money

Y’know (it doesn’t) nothing matter/s
As long as we’re entertained
It’s a sit-com life and a God given right
To simply fade away

(While) History isn’t over
(But) Here, take a look-
Jesus died, was crucified
And that’s the end of that book-

Television is my God
So I pray to the deified blonde
We’re young and beautiful now
But tomorrow we’ll be gone...
