Ain't That A Kick In The Head - a Dean Martin Karaoke Cover

Original
First made about two years ago (My first homemade blues track)
Simple lyrics and
Vocals by me
It is not me playing the guitar, I made all the music in Garageband.

Lyrics:

My baby
Mmm my baby
please believe me
Never leave me
I don't wanna end up alone...

I adore you
I need you
Stay with me
Never leave me
I don't wanna end up alone....

I will love you
Never leave you
Always hold you
Right beside me
So you will never end up alone...

My baby
Mmmm my baby
We will be
So good together
And we will never end up alone...

Mmmmm.....

Mmmmm.....

End Up Alone Blues   (Original-Remix)

A companion piece to "The McGills" and "The Preacher"...

My paternal grandmother, Frances McGill, was always a bit rebellious and rambunctious. As a child, she spent most of her time chasing adventures outdoors and survived a number of mishaps, including a life-threatening snake bite.

Following her mother's untimely death, she dropped out of school to get married. Her husband served in the military, then eventually became a minister. After 15 years of marriage, a son arrived (my father) and she dedicated her time to raising him. It was while raising him that she returned to school. She graduated from high school when he did, eventually going to college and graduating with a degree in Education.

Widowed at 50, she rebuilt her life and focused on teaching until she was in her 70s. By then, she’d been a nearly constant presence in our household. She was still a rebel in many ways (there are LOTS of stories!), but she had a deep, unstoppable faith that kept her going through the tough times.

When I think of her, I think of all the times we laughed together, but I also have wonderful memories of hanging out with her while she played the piano (or her Martin guitar) and sang songs. Her favorites included “Frankie & Johnny” and a variety of hymns. She’s been gone for almost 30 years now, but I think of her often. Her greatest legacy to her family includes her faith and the joy of music, which are the basis for this song. This piece is dedicated not only to her, but also to my mother and mother-in-law who left the same legacy.

Lyrics are not part of the recording but are included below:

Been so long, since we gathered ‘round the piano for a song or two,
There’s not a day that passes by when I don't think of you,
But someday things will change, and we will find some heavenly keys,
And we will sing, we will sing.

You lived your life honestly, it was hard, but you trusted the Lord,
Always there for your family, you showed them they were adored,
You sang through ev'ryday of life and when we're together again,
We will sing, we will sing.

We will sing, like we used to do, ‘round the piano, me and you,
We will sing, with our voices raised, full of hope and full of praise,
We'll sing, 'cause God is good and brought us through like He said He would,
We'll sing for the joy of being together again. Together again.

If you're listening and you don't believe there's a heavenly place,
That’s OK, it’s a leap of faith and it comes with amazing grace,
Someday I hope to find you there near a piano or guitar,
And we will sing, we will sing. We will sing, we will sing.

We Will Sing

Sound Of Silence

Music: Little Man & Janne Hennie
Lyrics & Vocals: Janne Hennie
Instruments & Mix: Little Man

Lyrics:

I was so sure I had it all
And didn't need anything else to smile
But it was only an illusion of my joy
Dependence on others
Living like a toy..

Chorus:
I need to take control of my life
Find out what makes me smile and gives me pleasure
I can't let others decide my time
Create the joy in my own life..

It was so easy to lean on the others
And forget my own responsibility
For my own happiness and smile
I had to stop for a while
And think

What do I need? 
What makes me smile?
What gives me pleasure, and joy in my life..?
Can I do it all by myself?
Will I be able to do it well?

Chorus:
I need to take control of my life
Find out what makes me smile and gives me pleasure
I can't let others decide my time
Create the joy in my own life..

Can I do it all by myself?
Find the joy in my own life....

The Joy In My Own Life

Music: Little man & Janne Hennie
Lyrics & Vocals: Janne Hennie
Instruments & Mix: Little Man

Lyrics:

1
You feel a little restless, have no peace of mind
Your head is spinning, worries made you blind
Take a little moment, see the flowers on the ground
It may give you comfort, and some peace of mind...

If you can see
If you can hear
If you can feel
You can find some peace of mind

2
You feel a little stressed, so much to do
Nothing can wait, it's all waiting for you
Take a little moment, and listen to the birds
It may give you comfort, and some peace of mind...

If you can see
If you can hear
If you can feel
You can find some peace of mind

3
You feel a little sorry, words should have been said
But you couldn't get out, what was inside
Take a little moment, and say it to your heart
It may give you comfort, and some peace of mind...

If you can see
If you can hear
If you can feel
You can find some peace of mind

Some Peace Of Mind

After "Call On Me" another Demotrack in our series of "Lovesongs".. stay tuned.. there is more to come. 🎧
"I will be there" is one of my favorites. Hubert once again put all his vocal intensity and his skillful playing in this song. I am proud he achieved exactly the atmosphere I was hoping for. A tune full of confidence and desire when one suffers from drifting spiritually into darkness and there is someone to hold on to and  someone who is able to lift you up again.

Hubert Stytz:  music, all vocals
Pee Gee       :  lyrics

I will be there

Here we go again with some Chiptune! Third drop while we wait for next Friday's release (it's gonna be a love song so cheesy it melts, but with our usual twist!). You can check out our Chiptune tracks here: https://soundcloud.com/beatingedge/sets/8-bit-vibes.

Side note totally unrelated to this track:
Can we just scream a massive F* O** to all the brilliant "artists" here on SoundCLOWN who follow you just to unfollow two days later?
And some of them proudly brag on YouTube about this super "smart" follow/unfollow trick to build reputation off people like us?
Sorry for the rant... and once again: F* O** AND JUST DIE ALREADY** to all the unfollow "geniuses" out there!
PS: We officially disown whatever was just said by Beating Edge’s secret sixth member! 🤣😬

Retired scenic artist, radio announcer, stage and voice actor with wide-ranging music tastes. 
I know I'm not a great singer, but I don't think I'm a terrible one. At least, nobody has told me I am.
I have no intention of trying to make money from any of this. It is KARAOKE and is just a hobby, so please do not offer me insincere compliments and then try to talk me into paying for promotional services, videos or graphic designs that I do not need or want.
