My daughter was learning tap dance.
This song starts from my imagination of she dance with my song.
Isn't it cool beating out a rhythm by tap dancing instead of drums.
I hope some day I could see it!
Thanks for listening.

Reiwa

you on my mind

Part of a new batch of songs we are finishing up and using to learn to master better on our Tascam DP24.

As lonely as this night is, it won't be very long
til I can see her brown eyes
and tell her I was wrong
I've been so very sorry		
and not just for the heartless words I said
I hope she's still my baby          
and not just the pretty girl next door

I hope she doesn't keep me hanging on 
Quite as long as I did her
and even though I probably deserve much worse	
I just don't think that I'm that strong

As lonely as this night is, it won't be very long
til I can see her brown eyes
and tell her I was wrong
I've been so very sorry
and not just for the heartless words I said
I hope she's still my baby
and not just the pretty girl next door

I hope she'll take me back again tonight
humble as I am now
and even though I probably deserve much worse 
I hope she'll take back her crown

I hope she doesn't keep me hanging on 
Quite as long as I did her
and even though I probably deserve much worse	
I just don't think that I'm that strong

Lonely as this night

Naked Eye Astronomy 
(Words and Music by David Stephenson 2020)

If I ever really lost you, I would have had to find you
But the haystack hid the needle
And the needle moved around and around
From town to town

The approach, the collision, the after-parting
Seemed over before it even started
From my position it seemed to last a long, long time
A long, long time

The convergence of our orbits
There's proof it really happened
From nosey neighbors and naked-eye astronomers

Boil it down to the brain stem
Neuropathy, a friction
Were the sparkles a mere  figment
An illusion, pure fiction
Pure fiction 

The convergence of our orbits
There's proof it really happened
From nosey neighbors and naked-eye astronomers

They say it was over, before it even started
They say it was over, before it even started

Naked Eye Astronomer

Porcupine

Hunting Horn!

I play viola and violin on this song.  I do all of the vocals.  Other instruments are those available in Cubase.

That is the Question
Verse 1:
Do I delete you?
That is the question
You say some things I don’t like
They offend me
Do I delete you

Chorus 1 & 2:
Perhaps my view is so wrong
How would I know
Without  perspective

Verse 2:	
Different views
Widen my vista
Enable me to see the world
Better with new colors
See more of what is there
A narrow view blinds me to so much

Chorus 2:

Bridge:
Violin Instrumental

Verse 3:
Knowing them causes me pain
Do I want this pain
Am I unwilling to hear those things I don’t like?
That is the question
Do I not want to understand things better

Chorus 3:
I am not perfect
Sometimes I am wrong
How can I know
Without other views

That Is The Question

We hadn't played in 9 month's so there was a little trepidation and blunders.
