I like this Lou Reed like song. Just singing about the moment, about life.

Haunting emotional pop ballad and solo write pro demo from way back with session vocals. Copyright 2008 Jay Rich. Lyrics below:

              No Man Is An Island

Intro:

No man is an island (x4)

V1:

Standing there on the silent sound (inlet)
Like a tidal wave you came crashing down
And swept away all my solid ground
Then you coldly cut me adrift:
Your cruel stroke so sure and swift
And the treasure I thought I'd found
Became one more shipwreck run aground

V2:

Although I tried to go with the flow
Got caught up in the dark undertow:
Out of my depth, oh how well I know
Those cross-currents and fast riptide
Left me wide open, nowhere to hide
Far better to have stayed landlocked
Than be dashed upon your barren rocks

Ch1:

No man is an island
And I'm all lost at sea
With surging breakers
Bearing down on me
I need to find passage back
Among the shifting sands
But sanctuary that I seek
Eludes me on dry land

V3:

Your Lorelei's seductive siren call
Lured me so far from safe landfall
I saw the trap but couldn't heed at all:
Blinded by heartfelt emotion
Needed to plunge right into your ocean
But as they say, the deepest depths
Are graveyard to most hapless wrecks

Ch2:

No man is an island
And I'm so lost at sea
Broken by the storm
No lifeline can save me
The causeway is now covered
I'm stranded all alone
The mists're coming down
As the waters claim their own

Outro:

No man is an island (rpt to fade)

"Hey, this is Zephy Giltbronze, comin' atcha from my new station. We got a 200 foot tower in a couple months ago. It's a rusted old piece of shit. I think a long wire could do just as well, and that's probably what they used to keep the station online while they removed the tower. Oh well. I hope nobody goes to great length to decode this message and make it intelligible again, because that would be a waste of time."

Nope, there are no real leads here on what happened to the tower. I'm in the dark with the rest of you :)

Welcome to my solo experimentation project drop in the SoundCloud. Back to the roots of this music - it is music for me, but I invite everyone else to enjoy. It’s a growth project called “the ignorant savants” for good reason. I cannot read music. I am American, so I create from a place of great ignorance while having at my will great tech.  😉  I am also a sometime preachy published poet and enjoy the company of muses and musicians who read and know theory. I learn from you even if often ‘stuck in jam mode’, as a son has said, but it’s my best way to put my non-lyrical poetry to use musically.🌱
