SAMSON BLACKWELL featuring backing vocals by various members of THE ZOOS

SAMSON BLACKWELL-Saturday Night Mix 2 (feat THE ZOOS)

Way back throw back. Wrote this song fairly quickly in the fall of 2011 and then recorded it immediately on the front porch. First take. Dont know why ive held on to it so long.

i feel myself decompose inside
on the boulevards they're throwing flowers
i count the long black cars going by
in my dead hands i hold the answers

please dear mother dont you cry
father signed my referral letter
where im going will be dry
some of us just like the warmer weather...

take me away, take me away...



BLACK TAR CANCER  - Jason Kettl

Bit of a sailor shanty tune i recently whipped off and recorded on the Winter Solstice. Its about a young man growing older and overcoming his ego and insecurities and taking responsibility of his own life.

NEVERMORE

Is it that money that you're looking for
You blame your mum for playing the whore
Born out of wed lock
in sin
So you draw some lines
And to pass the time
sail across the maritimes
Your eyes are wide but your skin is thin

On your arms you count the scores
You blame your pops for going to war
Raised inside the rage
Of a young mans fight
You lose all sight
And through the night
Recklessly prepare for flight
Your hands are rough but your heart is made of tin

Where ya going my friend
Checking off all the places
That you've been

Low and behold
Who could have ever know
I'd be stuck here in my heart again

When You reach the shores of NeverMore
Fate has already sealed that door
This is the end
And where you begin
So You make amends
Learn to love again
And from the darkness you enter in
Filled with a strength Forged from the Fire

Where ya going my friend
Checking off all the places
That you've been

Low and behold
Who could have ever know
I'd be stuck here in my heart again

Jason Steven Kettle - Nevermore

TAKE ONLY WHAT YOU NEED

Take...
Only what you need
Let God, Let Go of all your hatred
And learn to receive

This weight
Is greater than it seems
That first taste
Psychotically serene

If i could just change what she thinks is wrong
If i could just reveal it
Ive come to seek fate in the eye of the storm
I need her touch to relieve this

So Take...
Only what you need
Let God, Let Go of all your hatred
And Learn to receive

(Father forgive me)

Jason Steven Kettle - Let God Let Go

HOLY

Black Bird 
Where do you roam
Out all alone
Who have you shown

Black Bird
Like an eye in the sky 
A dream in disguise
My Third eye wide
It’s wide, it’s wide, it’s wide

She’s holy 
As she holds and unfolds me
She unknowingly controls me 
And it’s breaking me down
Down, down
It’s breaking me...

Black Bird 
The sweetest reprise 
It’s no great surprise
She see’s fear in my eyes
In my eyes, in my eyes, in my eyes

She’s Holy 
As she holds and unfolds me
She unknowingly controls me
And it’s breaking me 
Down, down

EVERYBODY!

She’s Holy 
As she holds and unfolds me
She unknowingly controls me
And it’s breaking me down
And down, and down 

It’s breaking me down
And down, and down
It’s breaking me down
And down, and down
It’s  breaking me...
