Wonderful song Dave, You write so good lyrics!

Ah music and words,a potent combination Dave.

It's so true. I feel so very, very fortunate to be able to partake. I have only begun writing songs in the last couple of years. It has been a life altering gift of an experience.

Wonderfully raw and real and for me all true 🙌🏼👏🏼👏🏼🔆

Lyrics:
Off the top ———-is where it’s at unwrap this —————-gift RAP hitting the streets—-it’s ——pure crack Stone cold —-this trap ——TRACK! Pool of knowledge ——-untapped going —-in —-hard——we do that  Better —-tighten up —-them bootstraps  ———SAY-——-“what the hell ——did Lou snap!!!” swag baby —-The recap  no snags—nah—we stop that!!!
Break the game down--it's a new map Flow so rich--- better check that NASDAQ Eyes on the prize---go the full lap concrete jungle---stuck in the trap
[Verse] From the alleys to the skyline---watch us elevate Living large in the boroughs where we demonstrate Every word a heavy weight--- every rhyme we detonate New York state of mind---watch the Empire State
We on a mission---ain't no intermission, snap back Murals on the walls--- street art on the subway track Ambition in the air, we the kings--- claim the throne Spittin' bars like bullets--- in this zone--- we at home
Icons of the asphalt--- legends in the flesh Droppin' beats so heavy--it’s poundin' in your chest From the 5 boroughs--anthems——- on full blast Queens to the Bronx-- Brooklyn —-movin' fast Elevate the hustle---the spirit never cracks Struggle in the verses —-resilience on the—— tracks

“Insomnia Trapped”  by Luke

Lyrics:-
We're now in the fourth dimension
Where the mud comes up to your knees
With the dirt and filth
We're heading for ascension
But this move feels like a very bitter pill

The dark 
Exposed
By light
Shine on

To get to where we're going
We have to feel the pain 
And only then can look back
To know 
We wouldn't do it again
The bridge to all the sunshine
Is filled with days of rain
Arriving on the other side
It's darker days
That show you the way

What A Beautiful Day - OMCB [Music Video]

This is a live recording done at Sipos studios. We put down quite a few tracks in one day as we were well rehearsed leading up to steady gigging ( we had hoped ).   This is the blues version of of an originally folkish song written by me. Lyrics:  
I thought In had the answer I guess I didn't know
Thought I had the answer, guess I didn't know
Thought I had it figured out, I guess it goes to show
Well I lost myself in pages turned and now im looking back at bridges burned.

Well I thought I didn't need you, I guess I couldn't see
Well In thought I didn't need you, I guess I couldn't see
Wanted to be left alone, now whats become of me
Well I spent all of my chances earned and now im past the point of no return
Chorus
As I wait in darkness.. your footsteps softly fall
That Im might be hearing them, makes no sense at all
Then I feel you next to me, the tears begin to fall
As In try to speak you hush me with your eyes
And suddenly I'm standing in the loving light of lessons learned

Now I begin to know you, a little more each day
As I begin to know you , a little more each day
All illusions that I had, they seem to wash away
And it seems that Ive become a guide for all the lonely souls who could be turned






Lessons Learned

So many songs,so many themes,...seems to me that songs/poems/stories are meant to reflect our lives and feelings in a way that we can look at things in a different way or see our way clear through a confusing background

lyrics

a song can send you soaring in the sky among the stars
leaving all your woes behind and cover up the scars

a song can tell of new found love that sets your spirit high
or remind you of a love long lost and bring tears to your dry eye

a song can bring you back to earth hold a mirror to your face
put your fantasies of life into their proper place

Remind you of what's right and wrong and shine a light on what is real
won't let you hide in some safe place pretending not to feel

a song is what we all need in one form or another
different roles for different times like a father or a mother

but most of all what it does for us
is to explain the obvious
so we can live our lives in peace and stop wasting all this time

Anywhere But Here

The radiant city

Vincent van Gogh passed away July 29th, 1890,
“Vincent’s Letter” was released July 29th, 2020

I figured there’s no better time than 130 years later…

When I was very young, I had dreams about his paintings. 
 His paintings inspired a deep love in me for art at an early age, and I wanted to be a painter like him

 Music won me over, but I remember being about 10 or so - when I first started playing music a lot - and I promised this self-portrait painting of Van Gogh that I’d write a song (or several) for him that a lot of people would hear.  Yea I made a verbal promise to a painting.  
It wasn’t the first or last time...  I was a weird kid.

The funny thing is?  This isn't even Van Gogh, as I much later found out.  It's "Dr. Gatchet", who was a physician who was treating Van Gogh.  Vincent painted him, and they actually look a lot alike!  But I made the promise to this painting, so here it is
   I hope you enjoy it

Vincent’s Letter
____________________
home, it’s a little loud
a love breaks me down every day
a little more, she comes & slips away
my love hurts me now
a little more every day
love simply breaks me down, 
a little more every day
I’m hearing you crying inside,
 why don’t you look outside and find yourself?
I’m trying every day, a little more in every way

my heart, my hands are sleepy
my foot is stomping on the paint
a little love, colors break my heart
a little more every day, 
a little love, comes in breaks my heart
a little more every day
a little love, cousin, breaks my heart
a little more every day

my home, will you break me down?
a little more every day
our love, cousin, breaks me too
a little more every day…
a little home, my!…
crazies out of the sky!
it’s a yellow one!
I’m wondering why?
I got my heart beating still
mixed together with the colors that spill
I got my heart cousin
a little more every day
heavens harps, cousin, come to break me down
a little more every day

Vincent's Letter

these are short songs ,poems more than musical songs really,that are meant to emphasize the lyrics that address what I think are critical issues for all of us : our relationship to each other/the planet/ourselves.. so please have a listen and let me know your thoughts. nothing fancy/cell phone recordings/take care be safe
