Shiny Diner - Retro Harmony

This is a bluesy song about how it feels to be "ghosted" (ignored) by a supposed lover.

Ghosting Me

What it feels like to be ghosted (ignored) by someone you care deeply about. 
Something ain’t right 
Hey, what’s this about? 
Did we have a fight? 

I’m feeling alone now
Feeling alone now
Just me and my phone now,
Me and my phone now
Something ain’t right
Why’d you disappear?
Just leave a message-- 
That’s all I hear!

I call and text
Call and text

What to do next?
To do next?

Something ain’t right 
Hey, what’s this about? 
Did we have a fight?
Why’re you ghosting me out?

I saw you were leaving
Saw you leaving,

I was not Believing,
Not believing,

Something ain’t right 
Hey, what’s this about? 
Did we have a fight? 
Why’re you ghosting me out?

Something ain’t right

Something Ain't Right Waltz

Leaving a place more messed up than it was when you arrived.

Downsville Tonight

A song about the need for elderly leaders to step aside for better ideas to be manifested through younger leaders.I remember America,   America!
I remember when they barely ever 
Censored a    single word.
I’ve got a lot of good memories, but
Recent things that I’ve heard
These big Business, funny Business, shell games got me worried. 
I remember America, America!
I remember a time we didn’t need 
so many billionaires 
A billion is a lot of money 
Surely more could be shared
These his big Business funny Business shell games got me scared,         
I woke up this morning.
I woke up this morning.
I said     I woke up this morning,    and that’s good.
I see a future of     intense young residents 
And leaders with prudence   and plain common sense
We will have leaders with deep moral sense
And you can save this song for evidence-- 
I remember America, America!
I remember a time leaders weren’t
Such dangerous clowns
It’s okay to worry.   their ideas got   moldy with age,
They just need to hurry and get off the stage              
I woke up this morning,     I woke up this morning.

I Remember America

So hard to see
In the Gaslight tonight
You are breaking my spirit,
Breaking my heart
Hold me Honey
Before we break apart
Before we break apart
We can get it together
We can take it inside
You have to know whether
Before you decide
Before you decide
Don’t break my spirit,
Don’t tear us apart
Just hold me Honey
Before I break apart
Before I break apart
Don’t turn around
Don’t turn down that way
You know I love you
What else can I say?
So hard to see
So hard to see
Don’t break my spirit,
Don’t tear us apart
Just hold me Honey
Before I break apart
Before I break apart





Gaslight Me

Had a friend who was lost 
in a hole 
so I jumped right in just to boost 
that poor soul
The only way out is to find the upside
Seize the upside, climb up the upside
Where you are, you are
High on a hill, be singin’
Where you are, you are,
Down in a hole quit diggin’
When you’re down in the dump 
just help someone up
Give them a boost, 
one on one,

The Upside
