Beautiful song! well done all around!😊

Solid re-take on this one by Mike. Enjoyed. Good song and delivery. Kudos to you both, Tony.

Great song and collaboration.  Reminds me of the western Oklahoma town my wife grew up in, the old, abandoned buildings are markers of fond memories.

Top class post, brilliant vocals and great production.

Sounds ..vocal.. really good! 🌍☮︎👍

Mysterious Ways

Mysterious Ways (Graham Williams)

This is a follow-up posting of a wonderful collaboration Dan-T had invited Debra and I to contribute to.  Dan had posted it well over a year ago as a backing track to a dramatic French Fantasy production.  With his kind permission after the delay of a year, I wanted to post this as a celebration of a different kind of drama--life awakening from a long winter sleep. Dan's synths are sweeping and epic, Debbie's playing is measured and elegant like the words in a fine poem.  The Requinto guitar has a sweet voice sounding a bit like a Celtic harp to round out the production.  Hear more of Dan's French Fantasy (French Fantastic:) @dan-t-3, and Debbie's superb and poetic playing @debra_buesking.

Awakenings; Dan-T, Debra Buesking, David Dunham

So we weren't trying to rip off Julian Lennon's great original.
We were going to cover it properly, but we had a miscommunication as to being an original. Therefore, we are putting this cover tune out as a reprise of the original.
It's a very unique continuation of a classic tune.
We hope you understand and enjoy.


 You never showed up I sat there alone
Never bothered just to pick up the phone
then I saw you with another guy
I thought you had to work till quarter to five...?

(2x) Oooooo it's too late for goodbye
(Don't try to explain it's too late for goodbye)

I started walkin' and I don't know how far
...wanted to drive but I gave you the car
Couldn't afford it but I'd definitely fly
I spent my last dime on a burger and fries

(2x) Ooooo It's too late for goodbye
(I don't really care it's too late for goodbye)

Now I'm free and I'm livin' alone
She took my car and I don't have a phone
I got a job makin' burgers and fries
It's down the street so I don't have to drive

(2x) Ooooo it's too late for goodbye
(now I'm free it's too late for goodbye)

I kept the dog and he still lives with me
he never liked her since 2003
Life's gettin' better and I'm movin' along
I saw her today and I wrote down this song

(2x) Oooooo it's too late for goodbye
(life's getting better it's too late for goodbye)

Ever since you've been leavin me
I've been wanting to cry
Now I know how it feels for you
I've been wantin to die

(2x) But it's much too late for goodbye
(Now I know it's too late for goodbye)

(4x) Ooooo it's too late for goodbye

Too Late For Goodbye (The Reprise)

It's just not funny anymore, the conspiracy theories..the hate filled blogs and social media posts..the absurd rhetoric that passes for political discussion these days
It is hard enough for people to get along as it is (for reasons that are not clear to me) but this background noise is making it impossible to survive.

To quote John Prine "it don't make no sense that common sense don't make no sense no more"

lyrics

superman is made of steel
batman has his batmobile
spider man is fast as lightning
yea their powers are really frightening
but there is one who tops them all
Someone more powerful I can't recall
Someone with no thoughts at all
we call him stupid man

super eyes that can clearly see
to the tip of his pointed nose
super ears that clearly hear all the voices in his head
nerves of steel.no remorse no sense of fear at all
since he doesn't;t know what he's got
he is not afraid to lose it all

there is no truth he can't defeat
by stomping it with his feet
there is no lie that's so far gone
that he can't embrace and sing its song
lizards in the White House
democrats drink baby blood
the moon's not. real its a laboratory
the earth is as flat as can be

King Kong pounds his mighty chest
Godzilla roars out his fiery breath
but stupid man can top them all
he bellows out his rage to all
cause someone told him this was bad
and someone told him that was worse
he doesn't take the time to think
his eyes are shut so he doesn't blink

don't bother him with truth or facts
things for trivial pursuit
He 's busy saving the world from everything that's not like him

so fight on fight on stupid man
until there is no one left but you
then you can learn to fear yourself
and bring an end to this crazy talk

Mighty stupid man

THE SCENIC ROUTE			
TO THE MOUNTAINS			
 IN TENNESSEE			
			
WOULD BE			
TWO HOURS LONGER			
BUT A BEAUTIFUL DRIVE			
YOU SEE			
			
ENJOYING THE DRIVE			
COULDN'T HELP BUT NOTICE			
ABANDONED BUILDINGS			
NO LONGER ALIVE

SHADES OF THE PAST			
THAT'S WHAT THEY ARE			
SHADES OF THE PAST			
NO LONGER ALIVE			
SHADES OF THE PAST			
JUST A MEMORY			
SHADES OF THE PAST			
THAT'S WHAT THEY ARE			
			
SOME PEOPLE FEEL			
THEY'RE SHADES OF THE PAST			
NO LONGER IMPORTANT			
THEY'VE LOST THEIR ZEAL			
			
DON'T LET FATHER TIME			
CONTROLL YOUR LIFE			
THEY ARE MOUNTAINS			
YET TO CLIMB			
			
THE SEASONS COME			
THE SEASONS GO			
STRIVE FOR THE BEST

Shades Of The Past - Collaboration by Tony & Mike Fox - Original

Here's our newest Awakening
So many people know what John 3:16 says. Jesus goes on to say in 17. For God did not send His son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him. 18 whoever believes in Him is not condemned but whoever does not believe is condemned already because they have not believed in the name of Gods one and only Son. 
Jesus often says Do not be deceived, and that is what this song is about.
If you don't know Gods word you will be easily deceived and you will end up in Hell.
Where will you spend eternity now that you've read those 2 verses?
verse 1
Should we be surprised at lies appearing on every screen
blatant shameless corruption no longer hides
Tag
Truth and consequence
lost in a generation
morality break down
no reason no logic it's all too hypnotic
Chorus
It's a delusion, confusion. Have an awakening
Open your eyes look to Christ have an awakening

VERSE 1
Charlatans arise disguised wolves in sheep clothing
backward reckless abandon from all sides
TAG
Truth and consequence lost in a generation 
morality breaks down
no reason no logic it's all too hypnotic
CHORUS
It's a delusion confusion have an awakening
open your eyes look to Christ have an awakening
BRIDGE
Ignore spiritual war? So, numb needing a Savior
John 3:18 
Jesus said:
but whoever does not believe stands condemned already for they have not believed in the name of Gods one and only Son
CHORUS
Have and awakening open your eyes look to Christ
have an awakening

image: copyright jo richter, shot a couple of years ago in Bad Kösen, Germany - there is an irony in labelling - first: there is a German saying: das Leben ist kein Ponyhof - meaning you can not be as naive as a kid on a pony ranch and you have to work to achieve your goals  -second:  this stable is labelled pony ranch - third: there is another label warning of aggressive, biting ponies - therefore, fourth: implying that even if life were a pony ranch,  it would still demand lots of caution ;-)

poem / copyright jo richter:

like Herman, we believe in beginnings
rising to fight Romans, the powers that be
we presume the naive because we are humans
blank-slate incarnations of pristine imponderability

we are the dusk that dreams of the dawn
with old Jungs repertoire of archetypes serialised
idealising eden‘s lawn, heading towards mere oblivion
we read from the screen: training data compromised

with wide-open, disbelieving eyes
hoping, like Hermann, for magic sponges and wipes
to delete karma capital – a senseless, selfless sacrifice
there‘s little there there in what the fomo-kind-of-attention hypes

aurora blank slate
