Just got a drum loop and decided to  slap a da bass and record what came out of it.

So yeah I'm a little rusty on the playing but I really dig the sound of this sweet Marcus Miller Jazz bass! 

Thanks  Bro, you know who you are!!

Thursday Night Primetime

Simple song (No one's listening)
Made by Curtis
Featuring Justin Trabue on Bass Guitar

I'd like,
To Buy the world a Coke,
A spice,
That everybody knows,
But I am only me a sing along with someone listening,
Now it's a real good look,
To write the world a book,
Of your choice filled memories,
Cause in life,
If you give em what they like,
Then everything with be alright,
But I am only me,
A sing along with some one listening,
And I will always be,
The simple song that going on when everything is going wrong,
And No one's listening,

Your love,
Well it's always been enough,
To bring me home to rest,
When I go,
To pave a nobel Road,
Well it's always the dreams where I find you,
That I find the best,

I am only me,
A sing a long wish someone's listening,
I will always be,
The simple song that's going on when everything is going wrong and no one's listening.  

No one's listening (Simple song)

"Worth fighting over"
One day,
They're gonna find me,
Good dead and buried,
Stone at my head,
I'll be,
Right next to my family,
And right beside us,
Will be our friends,
You're worth fighting over,
For good,
You're worth fighting over,
For good,
One day,
I hope they call me,
Out on a mission,
With ideas to spread,
I pray,
The words I am saying,
Are worth the space in,
Inside my head,
You're worth fighting over,
For good,
You're worth fighting over,
For good,
One day,
You're gonna meet her,
And you will never,
Forget her face,
She may,
Even let you keep her,
As long as each day,
Your actions say,
You're worth fighting over,
For good,
You're worth fighting over,
For good,
You're worth fighting over,
For good,
You're worth fighting over,
For good!!!
Deep down,
Deep down inside me,
I know there's something,
That no one else sees,
Each day,
With out me minding,
It is the reason,
That I must breathe,
You're worth fighting over,
For good,
You're worth fighting over,
For good,
You're worth fighting over,
For good,
You're worth fighting over,
For good!

Lyrics

They gon say,
You a problem,
When you don't fall in line,
They gon make you an offer,
That you'll have to take this time,

The gon lay,
They whole law down,
Just to get you in the light,
We gon break,
Break it all out,
And keep on burning through the night,

Cause

If you don't believe that you're good for something,
Here's something you can believe,
If all that you are is good for my loving
I'll love you endlessly, x2

We gon make, 
This the heaven,
The Heaven we deserve,
Don't you think,
We learned out lesson,
Of how to go through Hell and earth,
We gon raise,
Up our children,
Like we never had a doubt,
Of how we'd make a good living,
And put food inside their mouths,

Cause,

If you don't believe that you're good for something,
Here's something you should believe,
If all that you are is good for my loving,
I'll love you endlessly.

Good For Something

Hello friends thank you so much for the kind messages and thoughts about the Cohen interpretation last week.  If everyone who has already shared "hallelujah" shares it one more time it will reach the 100 shares mark and be unlocked to download. 

So don't be scared, just share.  :)

Ok on to new music...  The final frontier. 

A friend of mine who has been married for 30 plus years chose this song as his wife’s ring tone.  #truereasonsIwrite.

Smile: Written and Performed by Curtis Casey and Armin Peterson
Mixed, Engineered and Produced by Ryan Greene

I hope you enjoy.  See you guys next week!

Smile (acoustic)

As I keep doing This Book of Curtis thing I am realizing that it is very much becoming an audio diary.  And for those of you who are resonating close enough to care about what the world sometimes sounds like to me seriously thank you.  You truly are the brightest stars of the darkest skies.  

Now this song I wrote and recorded when I was 18 for a friend of mine who was 17 and going through something we both thought was rough.  Another friend of mine John Guffa (Amazing Musician) wrote and recorded the guitars and I came and laid down the vocals one sunny afternoon in Tempe AZ.

I guess that’s a big reason why I write and record music mostly to help myself understand things that I don’t and perhaps help out a friend or two along the way as well.  

Thanks for listening in.

"Loves Arms"
Written and performed by Curtis Casey and John Guffa

There’s things in life that you can’t define
Cause they don’t align with the truth
Yet your life girl it reflects mine
Cause it runs in line with my youth

And I don’t have to see you to know
And I don’t have to be you to know you
Girl all I need is to see the marks on your shoes
Cause mine are marked to.

Now run on home and go and tell your momma
You went away and oh you lost your honor
To a boy from the wrong side of town
He aint never been rich but he always held it down

You fell in love and though it sounds crazy
You turned your love into a little baby
Let her know that you never meant harm
And girl you found your place in loves arms.

There’s things in life that you can’t explain
Cause you can’t explain all that’s real
Ink on paper is much to plain
Wont come near to contain all you feel

And I don’t have to see you to know
No I don’t have to be you to know you
Girl all I need is to see the storms in your eyes
Cause they’re the same in mine.

Now run on home and go and tell your momma
You found your place in loves arms.


Loves Arms

Curtis Casey is an American Born Singer Songwriter from Phoenix Arizona who was raised all over the United States as well as the country of New Zealand where his Mother was born and raised.  

“We moved around our fair share because my father was a nuclear engineer. Music and song writing with an acoustic guitar became my constant and was my safe place.  To this day whenever I walk into a room and there is a guitar in it I immediately feel welcome.”

As a half Polynesian half Irish American Curtis learned to love and appreciate music and singing of all types at a very young age and still loves the entire process of writing and recording music.  

For 15 years he toured all around Europe and the United States with his Active Rock / Nu Metal band, Vayden.  

“We were lucky we got signed to a subsidiary of Warner Music very young and they sent us all over the place to play.  We ended up recording 3 albums together and 2 EPs.”

Now Curtis enjoys the simple joy of singing nice songs in cool places to appreciative audiences.

Today he lives in Marina Del Rey with his wife, two sons and small daughter.
