Liking this song Ken, your voice has grown over the years.

Must agree with SuZanne. Great vocal and vocal production.

I’ve been bouncin’ off the walls staying up all night.  Grandma said that liquor gets ya good and tight.  And I don’t have to wonder ‘cos it feels alright to me.  You walk along and you shuffle your feet blind to the people that you pass on the street.  Windows down, music playing loud.  Picking out a bum tapping his foot in the crowd.  I’ve been bouncin’ off the walls and it feels alright.  I’ve been bouncin’ off the walls staying up all night.  I’ve been bouncin’ off the walls and it feels alright.  I’ve been bouncin’ off the walls and it feels alright.  Gambling in Vegas keeps me up all night.  Free drinks are flowing and it still feels fine to me.  Pick up your new hand and a champagne glass.  The night is growing long and you’re still not trashed.  Six A.M. came too early again.  Time to head upstairs.  Time to cash it in.  I’ve been bouncin’ off the walls and it feels alright.  I’ve been bouncin’ off the walls staying up all night.  I’ve been bouncin’ off the walls and it feels alright.  I’ve been bouncin’ off the walls staying up all night.  Grandma said that liquor gets ya good and tight.  And I don’t have to wonder ‘cos it feels alright to me.  You walk along and you shuffle your feet blind to the people that you pass on the street.

Dreaming Outloud

Bouncin' Off The Walls

Intro 
Who you gonna call when the news gets here
A new generation closes up in fear
Now these days are spent to leave this place
Cuttin' ties, just in case it's gone.

Where ya gonna go where there is no light
right the wrongs, stand the test time
and you'll know, we all know we can't run this time

So meet me soon at the jump off point
take my heart leave it all behind
It's cold and blue but I'd rather not die
right the wrongs, stand the test of time.
...with you, just one more time.
So meet me at the jump off point
take my heart and leave this all behind!

Outro 
meet me soon, just one more time...

A song I posted a three weeks ago …that Johnny AKA ~  ( No Killie Fish) ~ https://soundcloud.com/johnnymc2 took me up on my request...

Johnny took my raw acoustic song  and put a some wonderful instrumentation down for me to put a another vocal take on it, then he mixed it and mastered it … Was really very happy with the results. ( Thank you Johnny)

https://www.reverbnation.com/artist/video/17109227 new video of the song!!

This was a first effort of a long ago song ... (originated from a little poem I wrote well over 40 years ago)"
"Dockman's got a cold hand,...first ship off at dawn,
Liberty Sails ..to the horizon ...now she's gone"

Quiet little café...Near the edge of town
Late at night …when lonely comes around
Eyes danced …we make love…till the morning light
Anchors raised …one long kiss goodnight

Still see her blue eyes…staring’ through my soul
As this ocean rolls… me… miles and miles from shore
Still feel her loving hands…here on my face
Feel them slip away…again I start to cry…cause I’m
Miles… from shore…and but I never… never sailed goodbye

I’ve only been there once…just a little port in Maine
A sleepy little harbor town…that I’d love to see again
Dockman’s got a cold hand…first ship off at dawn
Liberty sails…to the horizon…now she’s gone

Still see her blue eyes…staring’ through my soul
As this ocean rolls… me… miles and miles from shore
Still feel her loving hands…here on my face
Feel them slip away…again I start to cry…cause I’m
Miles… from shore…and but I never… never sailed goodbye

Quiet little café...Near the edge of town
Late at night …when lonely comes around
Eyes danced …we make love…till the morning light
Anchors raised …one long kiss goodbye
I’m miles from shore, but I never, never sailed goodbye
I’m miles from shore, but I never …sailed goodbye

NEVER SAILED GOODBYE - (MUSIC & MASTERED NO KILLIE FISH)_

Hypnose

Today’s foot-tapping musical philosophical challenge:  assisted dying.

The protagonist in our song might once have been on his way to an establishment such as Dignitas in Switzerland – a not-for-profit organisation providing assisted suicide services for those suffering terminal illness.

But our hero is actually booked into a fictional future Dignitas “look-alike” where there is no precondition for certified terminal illness in order to employ their end of life services.

He has simply decided that he does not wish to continue living in today’s world.  He is not a clinical mental depressive, he is in reasonably good health, physically and mentally, is financially very comfortable, fully cognitive but finds that each day, looking at the world around him brings more in terms of frustration, pain and anguish than it does in joy.  He has quite simply logically reasoned that in his (most likely godless) existence the emotional neutrality of perpetual nothingness is a better option than temporary net negativity.  Rather that do something messy and risky he decides to contract the professionals to do the job properly and painlessly (and legally).

I can see a world such as this (“Soylent Green”, anyone?) in the not too distant future, where human rights and habeas corpus combine to move humanity to a new level, sensibly offering a voluntary disembarking option to those for whom the ever-grinding scientific extension of the term of human life at the expense of the quality of human life makes no sense.  Those who simply say – “thank you, I have had an adequate sufficiency, may I have the bill please?”

Ashes to ashes.  Dust to dust.  Animal to mineral.

My Mineral Self

In a crystalline dusk I’ll walk down the lane
Dark clouds ahead, cold wind behind
Wrapped up my burden, packed up my shame
Clear in my head, fixed in my mind.
My future holds nothing but the fires of hell
When I revert back to my mineral self.

Turn up my collar, lower my eyes
Sun kisses the horizon a shallow goodnight
Certain inside that my soul will survive
The fate that awaits me at the end of this flight.
I’ll raise the glass that they give me to your future good health
As I start to revert back to my mineral self.

Don’t judge me too harshly, did the best that I could
My heart became weak, my will fell by the way
Minor key music defining my mood
I lived by the night, died in the day.
The reaper approaches, no need for stealth
I’ll soon revert back to my mineral self.

LED’s fading, my eyes softly close
Devoid of regrets for the path that I chose
The salt on my lips dries like chalk on a board
I expect no applause, no hint of reward.
Burning like diamond in eternity’s death
Resting at peace as my mineral self.
