like the bluesy down and dirty tone,,vocals and music fit the message. well done

Yeah, top class performance and production. Loved the song.

Dirty Lies Lyrics:

Dirty lies
Dirty lies
Digging up
dirty lies
Dirty lies
Dirty lies
Digging up
Dirty lies
You're hiding something
You don't know I got wise
Words travel fast
In storms of dirty lies

You've seen another with
those big beautiful eyes
Through them I see your soul
Where all your secrets hide ...
your dirty lies
Dirty lies
I'm digging up
Your dirty lies
Dirty lies
Dirty lies
Digging up
All those dirty lies

You turn your back
When I get close
You seem to want to get away
You'll talk for hours
On the phone
Then look at me with nothing to say

I vowed to always love you
Through lows and highs
You promised to be faithful
'til the day that you die

But you drove off the track
Took your eyes off the prize
Now you're stuck in the mud
Bogged down by dirty lies
Dirty lies
Dirty lies
I'm digging up
dirty lies
Dirty lies
Dirty lies
Digging up
All your dirty lies

You said I was the only one
Never want another guy
But I heard from a little bird
What you say is drawing flies

Inside my heart is raging
The truth, quite the surprise
'Bout time that you come clean
About your dirty lies
Dirty lies
Dirty lies
Been digging up
All your dirty lies
Dirty lies
Dirty lies
Been digging up
All your dirty lies

Dirty Lies

Lord, help me make it, through every day,
Lord, help me find, a much better way,
To help and to serve, to spread Your holy word,
Lord, help me make it through each day

You guide us all through our path in life,
Through the rough and the smooth
The bliss and the strife,
To help and to serve, to spread Your holy word,
You guide us all through our path in life,

Floating like an angel, through the clouds in the sky,
So many questions with no need to wonder why

Lord, help me make it, through every day,
Lord, help me find, a much better way,
To help and to serve, to spread Your holy word,
Lord, help me make it through each day

Floating like an angel, through the clouds in the sky,
So many questions with no need to wonder why

Lord help me make it, through every day

Floating Like An Angel

The Tabula Smaragdina (stressed tábula smarágdina, Latin for "emerald tablet") is a text traditionally attributed to Hermes Trismegistos, which forms the philosophical basis of Hermeticism and is considered the foundational text of alchemy.

The Tabula is one of the most famous texts of alchemical and hermetic literature. The twelve or so dark, allegorical sentences reflect the idea of a interrelation between the microcosm and the macrocosm. That which is below is like that which is above, and that which is above is like that which is below, an eternal miracle of the One.

The oldest extant version of the text is found in the appendix to a 6th century Arabic manuscript. Translated into Latin in the 12th century, the Tabula was commented on and received by many alchemists in the Middle Ages and increasingly in the Renaissance period. Even after the emergence of modern natural sciences, its fascination, at least for occultists and esotericists, remained unbroken until the present day.

Die Tabula Smaragdina (betont tábula smarágdina, lateinisch für „smaragdene Tafel“) ist ein traditionell dem Hermes Trismegistos zugeschriebener Text, der die philosophische Basis der Hermetik bildet und als Grundlagentext der Alchemie gilt.

Die Tabula ist einer der berühmtesten Texte alchemistischer und hermetischer Literatur. In den rund zwölf dunklen, allegorischen Sätzen spiegelt sich die Vorstellung eines Zusammenhangs von Mikrokosmos und Makrokosmos. Das was unten ist, ist wie das, was oben ist, und das was oben ist, ist wie das was unten ist, ein ewig dauerndes Wunder des Einen.

Die älteste erhaltene Textversion findet sich im Anhang zu einem arabischen Manuskript des 6. Jahrhunderts. Im 12. Jahrhundert ins Lateinische übersetzt, wurde die Tabula im Mittelalter und verstärkt im Zeitalter der Renaissance von vielen Alchemisten kommentiert und rezipiert. Auch nach Entstehung der modernen Naturwissenschaften blieb ihre Faszination zumindest auf Okkultisten und Esoteriker bis in die Gegenwart ungebrochen.

Buckle up, space cowboys, "Elevate" is about to blast you into a supernova of groove. It's funkier than a disco octopus on roller skates, a sonic rocket fueled by a bass line that walks the line between jackhammer and pile driver. Guitars shriek like banshees on a sugar rush, weaving scorching solos that would melt the paint off a chrome Cadillac. The drums? Pure nitro-infused thunder, urging you to stomp your feet, shake your tail feather, and climb the walls. This ain't your grandpa's jazz, it's a high-octane, full-throttle joyride to the stratosphere, where the air is thin and the riffs are thick. So strap in, crank it up, and let "Elevate" rip you into the next dimension. Your eardrums will thank you later.

We have a music making process that fits our unique skills.  We each do the parts that best fit our skills and interests.  Dan Lockhart does the initial song development.  Dan Blackard writes the lyrics, perform the vocals, and adds lead guitar.  Dan Lockhart then takes the track and do all final production (mixing and mastering).

Dan Lockhart writes all of the chords, timing, changes, and develops the track.  I then send two tracks to Dan Blackard.  One track has Dan L. describing the song.  Tell him the key, the timing, and any oddities about the song (changing keys or time signature...).  In the track Dan L tell Dan B verbally where is the verse, chorus, bridge and any other important information.

Dan Lockhart then send a second track that does not have this verbal dialogue.  This is called the instrumental track.  This is a track to which Dan B. can sing and add his parts.  Dan Blackard then returns  four pieces to Dan L:  a complete version of the song, a solo track of his vocals, a solo track of his guitar parts, and the artwork to accompany the song.

Dan Lockhart add his information into the original file.  Dan L. listen to it and make changes to the song to enhance the meaning of the lyrics. He sometimes adds instruments or takes away some instruments.  As Dan L. play many instruments (guitar, keyboards, banjo, mandolin, pedal steel, violin, viola...), he can make a lot of adjustments.    On rare occasions he move pieces about.  Dan Lockhart then masters it and prepare it for final production.
