25 years we’re out on the town-and we live it on up to forget our frowns-but as the night rolls in it seems even more upside down-And we drink to forget the day ahead- as demons still dance around our bed-though tonight we’ll sleep well I’d rather be inside you instead – “My friend” 
My attention is drawn to the shadow on the wall-and he’s laughing at me-but I see through it all and baby it’s not that bad so what the fuck are we doing?
And ooooohhhhhhhh I’m inside of you again my Friend and ooooooohhhhhhh I can’t feel where I begin and you end 
I search the corners of time I pull the puzzle apart so I can piece back together the hole in my heart I thought that right from the start I was your everything
You walk away from it all think your way too good – as I fumble about with this semi-wood – and I know in the end that this ain’t just a white man’s hood
And ooo  oohhhhhhhh I’m inside of you again my Friend and ooooooohhhhhhh I can’t feel where I begin and you end 
It’s 1Am and we’re still at the club what are we searching for all we need is love or is that just something someone coined one time – But hey look in my eye if you need something else and  I will oblige cause 
  I’m throbbing inside and baby if it’s over till that fat lady sings oh oh – let me apologize in advance – I requested our song if you want to dance cause come morning my love the two of us wont’ remember my friend
And ooooohhhhhhhh I’m in love with you “my Friend” and ooooooohhhhhhh I can’t feel where I begin and you end

"Inside of you" Acoustic

Dedicated to some folks in my life who've picked me up along the way, especially through music...

This is one I'm pretty proud of.  Oddly, it's the first time I’ve written a full original song with me singing my own lyrics. I'm joined by the uber talented @TexMex-Shaman, who is wielding the lead electric guitar starting at the first verse through to the end. (this is the second time now where my vocal melody is partly inspired by his magical playing!) He also lends his mastering skillz to great effect here. Thanks TMS for truly bringing this to life with your playing! 
All other instruments are played by me on the keyboard - acoustic guitar, bass, organ, Wurlitzer electric piano, 2nd electric guitar (the higher one in verse 2), horns, drums & percussion, words and voice. The chorus is supposed to sound like a 60's soul song, like Marvin Gaye meets Van Morrison. 
If you play this more than once I'm sorry but I'm afraid you'll be stuck with it in your head all day.  :)

This one's a personal one for me, so thanks for listening, and for picking us up with your music!

LYRICS: 

Verse 1
alone in the corner, that old six string whispers to me
ah but when daddy played, he could set your spirit free 
like the drops in the rain, or a forest tall and green
there's music alive all around
and mamma she told me, you must listen for more than the sound
and hear with your heart

Chorus     
(And then she’d) 
pick me up higher, pick me up higher, pick me up higher
pick me up, lift me up, build me up,  
pick me up higher, pick me up higher, pick me up higher
pick me up, lift me up, build me up, 
pick me up higher 

Verse 2
Now I’m writing my own song… makin’ music with old friends and new
But the joy of my days, are my beautiful daughter and you
And when you play that song, she would close her eyes and sway
all the while as she sings
And man when I hear her, whispered memories they lift me up still
like a bird on the wind

Chorus

Verse 1
Since the Fall we fought
lifetime of war goes on and on
two spirits rage within me
spoils to the victor the one I entertain
Tag
Surrender, Surrender, Surrender, Surrender
Chorus
A war wages, a battle already won
a soul faces a choice the lines have been drawn
The Lord our Righteousness 
He is our shield of strength
Savior today, judgment tomorrow
Verse 2
Clever lies from the fallen one
Constant waves of deception
There is no power but through Christ.
Of two master's you will hate the one and love the other
Repeat Tag and Chorus
Bridge
Look for Me, I'm everywhere
Read My Word, I will guide you
Pray unto Me, I will answer
You will know, just seek my face

Hi!
I am experimenting with shorter ambient pieces at the moment. It is kinda strange to use so few ideas and sounds in a song, but these kind of challenges are pushing you to new territories you might never see otherwise. 

Expect to see a bunch of new music in this style so i can give you a whole list of music to sleep / chill / study to. : )

TITLE: IT'S NOT LOVE; IT'S SOMETHING ELSE
_______________________________________________________


LYRICS:
(Verse 1)
You call me late when the moon is on fire
Your words are sweet, but they’re laced with wire
You hold me close, but your hands let go
Is this the spark or a shadow show

(Chorus)
It’s not love it’s something else
A halfway house where the heart rebels
You keep me near but not too tight
A situationship dressed up in light

(Verse 2)
You text me back but your words are thin
A hollow laugh when the truth kicks in
You want the thrill but not the fall
This isn’t a bridge it’s a paper wall

(Chorus)
It’s not love it’s something else
A carousel with no stories to tell
You spin me round but don’t hold my gaze
A situationship lost in the haze

(Bridge)
Where’s the line between want and need
Between a game and a love that bleeds
Your lips say stay but your heart says go
Am I the lead or just your cameo

(Chorus)
It’s not love it’s something else
A borrowed dream where the echoes dwell
You light the match, but you fear the flame
A situationship playing love’s name

Side Piece Ain't Your Slide Piece

It's Not Love; It's Something Else

The love, you could never get back

Never get back
Never get back 
Never get back

The love I had never felt, wish I could get this from Mom, 

but now all of it is gone, just like all those years ago.

I miss you so much, puppy
