HOW LONG FINITO (1)

I was headed home thru Hattiesburg 
In an icy cold  December 
On a train: the Crescent City line
To my hometown for Christmastime

I was watching out the window
As the train pulled out into the snow
The western sky was glowing red
as the night turned purple overhead

Between the sunset and the evening stars
Planes were leaving long white scars
I’d given anything to be up there
Flying far away from here

That was years ago
The last time that I went home
Now I’d give anything to go back where I belonged

Oh, to walk down those familiar streets
In the town that held my secrets deep
To see the soft glow of the Christmas lights
In the windows around the old house of mine

To feel the warmth of Christmas from years ago
But things have changed so much I know
We all have gone separate ways
And it all feels so far away

Everyone I’ve known has come and gone
Friends and family that I depended on
That world is gone
And I stand alone 
I just want to go back home where I belong

If Christmas wishes did come true
I would have a million reason to 
Get back on the crescent city train
And start the new year home again

I just want to go back home

The Last Time I Went Home (Christmas 22)

Demo that I lost all my settings for , I just like the opening vocals

O Holy Day (No More Night)

O holy day, the Son is brightly shining,
It is the day of our savior’s return;
Long lay the world in sin and error pining,
When He appears all souls feel their worth
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn;

Fall on your knees, Oh hear the angel voices!
O day divine! O day when Christ returns!
O day, O Holy day, O day, of His return!

Led by the light of faith serenely beaming;
Before God’s throne all of us will stand
Light of the world now forever gleaming,
There is no darkness left in the land

The King of Kings, to our weakness no stranger,
In all our trials born to be our friend;

Fall on your knees, Oh hear the angel voices!
O day divine! O day when Christ returns!
O day, O Holy day, O day, of His return.

Truly He taught us to love one another;
His law is Love and His gospel is Peace;
Chains shall he break, for the slave is our brother,
And in His name all oppression shall cease

Sweet hymns of joy in grateful Chorus raise we;
Let all within us praise His holy name!

Christ is the Lord, O praise His Name forever,
Proclaim His holy name, Jesus, Lord, forevermore,
Proclaim His holy name, Jesus, Lord, forevermore!

O Holy Day (No More Night)

The vocals were tough, i just redid them, added some upper harmony, sounds a little better...

I feel a change that’s in the air
I hear music everywhere
An excitement that i feel 
beyond compare

I believe you feel it, too
And it's more than me and you
It's the start of something real
Something strange and true, 
  
Far away from the city life
now I'm not sure the reason why 
I was lost in my own wilderness
now the weight of the world is gone

And i want to thank you
I was lost until You shined your light  on me
You found me in the dark and you set me free 

For the refuge of your arms
For your love, safe and warm
And i want to thank you, thank you

Now we’ve been through the thick and thin
I won’t deny it or we defend
But we’ve shown how much we care
This will never end

Like darkness gives in to the dawn
We’ll have our day out in the sun
And a place to love and share
For people everywhere

A place where people understand
We all are brothers hand in hand
And our Salvation’s in our tenderness
and the weight of the world is gone

now the weight of the world is gone
And i want to thank you

Thank You

There's a fantastic 70s leaning pop-rock album  Ticket to Shangri-La  released in 2023 (Young Gun Silver Fox) with a song called Starting Wars. I miss heard and mis-read the title as Starling Wars which seemed a great metaphor for something. It could have applied to a relationship - but the 2 wars going on became the theme

Starling Wars

You fly in to foul my nest 
Seeing red I puff out my chest
Aiming at your catacombs
Dropping all my guano bombs
Flit across and I peck at you
Cause my beliefs are the only truth
Starling wars it’s about pecking order 
Starling wars gonna bomb your son and daughter

I ruffle your feathers
You think that you’re better
Ethnically superior
The plumage of an emperor
Gonna peck my eye’s right out
Squawk about it loud and proud
Starling wars it’s about pecking order 
Starling wars gonna bomb your son and daughter

Em7 Dma7 Ami7 G Bb/C F F#m7 B

Underneath there’s the dove of peace
Peeking out at the busy streets
I Wrap your eggs neath protective wings
Drop a flower confess my sins
Fleeting thought it just flies away
Revenge is sweet gonna make you pay
Starling wars it’s about pecking order 
Starling wars gonna bomb your son and daughter

STARLING WARS

This song is about mentorship, loss and hope.

You were my friend (remake 2024)

One of my favorite projects by Morry back in the late 80s/early 90s. Tascam, probably around the time we had an 8-track cassette. Hope our SC friends are doing well!
