“All I Wanna Do”

Everybody
Needs Somebody
Someone they can hold onto
Just like
Every action
Gets Reaction
It all affects the things we do

Cuz times are changin’
They’re rearranging
The things we thought we used to do were cool
But now there’s something new
Another day, another trend awaits

And every hour 
Of every minute
Seems I’m just too late to get wit it
I guess there’s just one thing that’s left to do
So here’s to lookin’ at you cuz

All I wanna do
Is spend my days with you
And all you need to do
Is say that you love me too
Say that you love me too

I was lonely
So brokenhearted
Freedom laughed in front of me
But you woke me up
Now I can’t get enough
It don’t take no blind man to see
The thread between you and me

Coz we’re together
No matter whether
The time in space or place it makes no difference
What they all say
Hard to find is just a state of mind

With every hour
Of every minute
You ain’t around I keep myself thinkin’
 About the way you move and it makes me groove
Keeps me runnin’ thru
Take a clue that              

All I wanna do
Is spend my days with you
And all you need to do
Is say that you love me too, yeah

All I wanna do
Is spend my days with you
And all you need to do
Is say that you love me too
Say that you love me too

All I wanna do
Is spend my days with you
And all you need to do
C’mon and say it
Say it
Say it
Say that you love me too

All I wanna do
Is spend my days with you
And all you need to do
Is say that you love me too (say it)

All I wanna do
Yeah baby
Say that you love me to
Cuz times are changin’
They’re rearranging
The things we thought we used to do were cool
But now there’s something new
Hard to find is just a state of mind

“Red Letter Day"

I woke up this morning
That’s a red letter day
There’s still water left in the ocean,
Sun when the clouds roll away
I don’t need anybody else to tell me
It’s a red letter day

The new girl down the street got married
That’s a red letter day
But I got up before my third alarm clock rang
I didn’t lose a day
If you open up your mind just maybe
You’d think the same

I stopped to smell the roses
It’s a red letter day
Your best friend’s baby just took their first steps
And they’ve got another on the way
Although our situation’s different
Its still a red letter day


Red letter day, don’t need no calendar
Red letter day, don’t need no words on a page
Red letter day, I know exactly what it is I wanna say
And I don’t need anybody else to tell me
It’s a red letter day


Well your mother won the lottery
mmm, Red letter day
But I remembered to do my laundry
That machine didn’t break
No matter how you cut it
Its still a red letter day

Your wife finally got promoted
It’s a red letter day
I still haven’t burned the house down
Despite what my friends all say 
Don’t know what tomorrow brings but I know
Todays a red letter day


Red letter day, don’t need no calendar
Red letter day, don’t need words on a page
Red letter day, I know exactly what it is I wanna say
And I don’t need anybody else to tell me
It’s a red letter day

If you don’t stop and take a breath
If you don’t think you’re always blessed
If you don’t open up your mind, you’re missing
Another red letter day

“Bad News”

There you go again
Got that look in your eyes
Can’t remember when
Was the last time I was surprised to hear

Something better than yesterday
Or half as good as in February
I need a motion not a notion
Let me live my own life

Don’t tell me any more bad news
All I want is just the honest truth
And I don’t even know what to do
With all the other shit you put me through
Cuz no one told me how to sing the blues
So I’m sitting here like #2
Stop tellin’ your bad news

There I go again
Its taking the best of me
It’s hard to predict
Wether weather the storm is raging down or me

Tell me how I’m supposed to feel
When everyday gets a little more real
All this commotion’s got me hoping
That we’ll get out alive

Oh Lord, don’t tell me any more bad news
Cuz all I want is just the honest truth
And I don’t even know what to do
With all the other shit you put me through
Cuz no one told me how to sing the blues
So I’m sitting here like #2
Stop tellin’ your bad news

(Whoa baby
Woah girl)

Don’t tell me any more bad news
All I want is just the honest truth
Cuz I don’t even know what to do
With all the other shit you put me through
And no one told me how to sing the blues
So I’m sitting here like #2
Stop tellin’ your bad news
Stop tellin’ your bad news

All I Wanna Do - Andrew Vogt - MASTER

Red Letter Day - Andrew Vogt - MASTER

after years and years of not having a title,
i realized the mood and arrangement of this piece
directly reflects my thoughts on this holiday.
there are moments of calm hymn like reflection
(which could represent remembrance and sacrifice)
as well as joyful, energetic sections
(here representing the arrival of summer).

take it for a spin (or two) while you're outside today enjoying the weather!

The AV Club - Shack Dog (single)

Artist: Andrew Vogt
Album: Awakening
 “Hammerspace” is a fan-envisioned extradimensional, instantly accessible storage area in animated, comic and game fiction, which is used to explain how characters can produce objects out of thin air. (Think about in Space Jam when Bugs Bunny somehow miraculously pulls a basketball out from his…pocket?). I remember hearing about this concept and wanting to write a piece that included random chords, spontaneously crashing in to interrupt the form of the song, seemingly “out of thin air”. Rajiv, Stu, Christian and Hans did a remarkable job not only capturing this idea, but navigating an extremely difficult solo section. Level 5 Jazz.

Hammerspace

Artist: Andrew Vogt
Album: Awakening
“Butterbritches” is a song dedicated to a very close friend of mine….well, his dog actually. Written about 5 years ago, I wanted to immortalize not only one of my favorite pups, but also one of the best names for an animal (or human) I’ve ever heard: Captain Bear Butterbritches (yes, that is his full legal name). This did not make the final album cut, however the happy, upbeat, New Orleans-style party theme seems like something we could all use a dose of right now. This also puts my dog-themed songs up to a count of about 5. I’m sensing another sort of album soon….
