QUE FONT NOS DIRIGEANTS

In 1970 the worm definitely turned for me..  I was too young for the Summer of Love and Woodstock but come Christmas but I had my Spirograph... Wheel inside a wheel , the journey began, my creative powers unleashed... Finally some psychedelia for us kiddos... my plastic so fantastic....
sound clips ...intro clip from the movie Platoon and the  end clip from The Simpsons...  acoustic guitar/ keys/ shaker track recorded from my phone from Loopz  app......                                                                                                                                    the beat goes on....

Spirographic Eye                              

This story brought me back about a half a century                                                          
Kenner took me on a trip to try their kiddie LSD                                                              
Hypnotic trance, we’d turn and spin a groovy design                                                     
How old does one have to be to blow their minds?                                                        
Even Mom and Grandma they were digging this                                                           
Hogging all the paper sister got real pissed                                                                   
My plastic so fantastic                                                                                                    
Super Spirograph                                                                                                          

Back in 67 there was Lucy in the Sky
A black and white TV set was how we kids got by
Those kaleidoscopic colours now, you never want to stop
Friends peering through my window to see just what I got
Living on a rainbow, escape the world once more
Woodstock in my kitchen, San Francisco on my door
My plastic so fantastic
Super Spirograph

AAHH feel the symmetry                                                                                             
Perfect geometry                                                                                                         
I wanna kiss the sky                                                                                                    
On my Christmas vacation                                                                                 
I got me this art fascination                                                                                                   
Got me a spirographic eye                                                                                                   

You can keep my Lite-Brite I’m not playing underground
I'll be on another planet, though I will not leave this town
Salvador and Pablo they soon will know my name
Or maybe not, no never mind, life still won't be the same
Wheel inside a wheel it spins, precision never lies
The truth is on the paper it’s so pleasing to the eye
My plastic so fantastic
Super spirograph

AAHH feel the symmetry
Such perfect geometry
I wanna kiss the sky
AAHH those Mandala flowers
My psychedelic powers
Got me a spirographic eye

Spiromania, Spiromania,  you'll go full circle, inside your brainiya…..             
Spiromania, Spiromania, tune in, turn on, it entertains ya…..……..

Visage (Lyrics/Paroles)

J'ai aperçu son visage, mais ce n'était qu'un mirage, 
Comme un reflet dans l'orage, une illusion de passage,
Son regard m’a fait naufrage, dans un monde sans rivage,
Où l’amour n’est qu’un langage, perdu dans le vent sauvage.

Elle danse dans mes pensées, comme une ombre sans visage, 
Chaque nuit je veux l’aimer, mais je n’ai que son mirage,
Un soupir, un doux présage, puis le vide en héritage, 
Je poursuis son doux sillage, prisonnier de son image.

Visage

Forget the left, forget the right
Forget about the party tonight
Get me to my next appointment

What do you call it when 
You can’t remember someones name? 
What should I call you instead?

Feel the pressure rising
Right in front of my eyes
Tip of my tongue, but not my brain

Forget the left, forget the right
Forget about the party tonight
Get me to my next appointment

Conversations a thousand times
I know I know your name
What it is right now I’ve got no clue

Forget the left, forget the right
Forget about the party tonight
Get me to my next appointment

I need a second here
Get my foggy head clear
I’m not out of balance
I’m hopping around on one foot

Forget the left, forget the right
Forget about the party tonight
Get me to my next appointment

I need a second here
Get my foggy head clear
I’m not out of balance
I’m hopping around on one foot

Later on today or tonight
Not thinking ‘bout it
Beat the blocking phenomenon


Blocking Phenomenon

 I wrote this song after a trip to Shady Hallow Lake in Indiana. Charlie has some lake front property there and it's great for camping, fishing, roasting marshmallows and playing live concerts. It's very calm and relaxing and a great time was had by all! I wrote the song back in 2010 but the video I put together last year. Check out the video and you will be there with me:

VIDEO - https://youtu.be/Mz_vslWLXaU

I tried to keep the video as true to the lyrics as I could. It was a lot of fun putting it together. I love the tranquility of a full moon casting the silvery glow over the lake! It's very magical! I especially love the fact that there were no I-phones, computers, TV's, ect, ect. No distractions, everything was left in the car! Times like those really heal a person. It was spiritually rejuvenating!  Charlie sang the song very well but my harms were a little flat (like my head!😂, sorry about that!). It was a very cool experience for me and my wife and we got to do some jamming by the fireside on the lake too! Well, I hope everyone enjoys it and thanks for dropping by and listening! That is always appreciated! Summer will be gone soon so for now, let's just bask under the glow of an Indiana Moon!! 🌕🙏✌🏼 

“INDIANA MOON”

SHADEY HOLLOW LAKE,   
LATE SUMMER AFTERNOON,       
GUITARS STRUMMING AFTER SUNSET,    
INDIANA MOON,
                   
SOFT CAMPFIRE GLOW,     
MELLOW SLEEPY LAGOON,    
SUCH SWEET VOICES SINGING UNDER,    
THE INDIANA MOON,

DANGLING OVERHEAD,   
LIKE A SILVERY BALLOON,             
REFLECTED IN THE STILL BLACK WATER,  
INDIANA MOON,

SHADEY HOLLOW LAKE,     
LIKE A WELL-KNOWN TUNE,    
WILL FOREVER BE REMEMBERED,    
INDIANA MOON.

DON'T AGE ME

You can see the moon
As well as I
From where you are

We can stretch our arms
Up to the sky
And touch the stars

I could grab that moon
And swing myself
Across the gulf

I would lightly drop
Into the lap
Of your land

Before the moonlit vision
Of you

Love is everywhere
A state of mind
We can try

Time is ours to share
We are young
We can fly

I could grab that moon
And swing myself
Across the gulf

I would lightly drop
Into the lap
Of your land

Before the moonlit vision
Of you

I could grab that moon
And swing myself
Across the gulf

I would lightly drop
Into the lap
Of your land

Before the moonlit vision
The moonlit vision
Of you

**I NEVER USE A.I. IN ANY OF MY SONGS OR VIDEOS!** Hi everybody, my name is Jim and I’m a songwriter, I've written over 300 songs, I play guitar, bass, piano, and am an okay lyricist.  I play all types of music and have my own recording studio.  I use no A.I. or DAW or any computers to make my songs or my videos, all the instruments are played by me live on a multitrack studio recorder and Charlie, my vocalist, sings most of my songs and also plays the Harmonica on several tracks. I use video clips from Motion Array or Pexals or Pixabay for my videos. I'm not a pro or a great musician but I do what I can with the tools that I have! I belong to the "Keep Humans In Music Movement" (KHMM)! We're NOT perfect but we're REAL! Thanks everyone for listening and the world needs more music now, real music made by HUMANS not MACHINES! So let's all sing a song with our own voices, please! I do not consent to any of my songs or videos being used or sampled or lifted in any way or fashion. Take care!👍😎✌🏼.
