A remixed oldie. Warning: The lyrics of this song contain depictions of interpersonal violence and suicide. That said: Hello… Glad you dropped by. Since I have been busy gardening lately, I haven’t been on SoundCloud all that much. But today… June 17th, it has been cold and rainy, with some snow (yes, snow!) predicted for tonight. So I have tarps and covers ready to go, to cover the frost sensitive plants. Years ago, when I first posted songs here, my exuberance often blinded me to just how bad those songs were. So I ended up posting and deleting songs all the time. Once a dude asked if I was using a mic, as the ‘white noise’ machine hiss of the HD was unbearable. He said it in the kindest of ways. I did end up getting a mic and also did a song thanking him. Other times, I used to introduce my songs with a deep, drawling voice. That was hilariously comedic. Another dude laughed so hard when I was first learning to sing. I posted a song with me warbling from baritone to high falsetto…. OMG. Later, I laughed too. People here were graciously patient and kind as I struggled to learn music way back when. Unlike a friend’s parents who chased him in an effort to take away his banjo and he never played music again. So thanks for bearing with me, as I test out vocal harmonies that really don’t work, or just wing a song, with no rhyme of reason. Or when I rant and howl about this or that. Because that kindness has allowed me to explore music in a way I never would have before.  Mark

Wilderness Wanderings (Part 1)- The Void

I want to believe in
True love
I want to breath in
True love
But every time you break my heart
You tear my very soul apart
I want to believe in
True love

(I'll tell you)

I want to feel your
True love
A kiss will seal your
True love
But every time I call for you
Your words don’t match the things you do
I want to feel your
True love

I
Choose
To be deceived by you

You
Choose
To use me as you do

(Don't take it all away)

Please forgive me
I don’t really mean these words
(I'm just so scared)
Please understand me
My hopes have blown with the birds

I want to be free of
True love
(I don't really mean...)
I don’t want the key of
True love
(I want our dream)
So every time I want to die
I’ll only give a silent sigh
I want to be free of
True love

Before you I was a lonely man
Believing my future dead
Now I see you offer hope
I turn it around in my head

(Round and around)

Please forgive me
The shadows shape my voice
Please understand me
I want you to tell me your choice

I give my love
I give my soul
I pause my life
I forgo control
(I want you)
You know my pain
(I love you)
As I know yours
(I want you)
I’d see you free
(I love you)
Even if you leave me

Do
I
Choose
To be deceived by you

Do
You
Choose
To use me as you do

(I pray you love me
I pray you do)

I want to believe in
True love
I want you and me in
True love
But every time I make a move
You tell me all the things you’ll loose
I want to believe in
True love

True Love (demo)

Dear Sir or Madam, will you read my book?
It took me years to write, will you take a look?
It's based on a novel by a man named Lear
And I need a job
So I wanna be a paperback writer


It's a dirty story of a dirty man
And his clinging wife doesn't understand
His son is working for the Daily Mail
It's a steady job
But he wants to be a paperback writer
Paperback writer


If you really like it you can have the rights
It could make a million for you overnight
If you must return it you can send it here
But I need a break
And I wanna be a paperback writer
Paperback writer

For this song I used the desperately beautiful old melody from a song called Barbara Allen.

For the lyrics… well, it’s about me

Old Jack looks back 
Upon his life 
And sees the track he’s taken 
And he wonders why 
He had let go 
The path he has forsaken 

“Don’t hold me near 
Lest I my break 
Like the snow in summer 
For my heart is cold 
And your coldest love 
Could melt me from my slumber 

I placed your love 
At farthest reach
And took it as a token 
So I may stay 
As hard as stone 
And leave my heart ne’er broken 

I watch the moon 
As you watch the Sun
And in the dark, I stumble
For too many times
Have I wished for her
She, who makes my heart most humble”

He lived his life 
Heart in the dark
And never rose above
His hiding place
How he missed her face
His one and only love

Old Jack

Unified in friendship 
Yeah life can strike a big hit 
But the bonds that form 
Are incredibly strong
