Bob Seger once told the New York Times that "Like A Rock was inspired partly by the end of a relationship that had lasted for 11 years. You wonder where all that time went? But beyond that, it expresses my feeling that the best years of my life may have been in my late teens with no special commitments and no career". This iconic tune was used in an advertising campaign for Chevrolet trucks that ran from 1991 - 2004, making it indelibly associated with the vehicles. The song helped sell a lot of Silverados, and is considered one of the best choices for an ad campaign in The History of Music. 'Like a Rock' was the Title song from the thirteenth studio album of same name by American singer-songwriter Bob Seger, released in 1986. My own version humbly presented here with all due respect and appreciation for yet another Bob Seger Sparkly Gem. Did it in my own way, featuring Nylon Strings and Tele Tones floating around in the background.
"Like A Rock"
Bog Seger 
Stood there boldly
Sweatin' in the sun
Felt like a million
Felt like number one
The height of summer
I'd never felt that strong
Like a rock
I was eighteen
Didn't have a care
Working for peanuts
Not a dime to spare
But I was lean and
Solid everywhere
Like a rock
My hands were steady
My eyes were clear and bright
My walk had purpose
My steps were quick and light
And I held firmly
To what I felt was right
Like a rock
Like a rock
I was strong as I could be
Like a rock
Nothin' ever got to me
Like a rock
I was something to see
Like a rock
And I stood arrow-straight
Unencumbered by the weight
Of all these hustlers and their schemes
I stood proud, I stood tall
High above it all
I still believed in my dreams
Twenty years now
Where'd they go?
Twenty years
I don't know
I sit and I wonder sometimes
Where they've gone
And sometimes late at night
Oh, when I'm bathed in the firelight
The moon comes callin' a ghostly white
And I recall
I recall
Like a rock
Standin' arrow-straight
Like a rock
Chargin' from the gate
Like a rock
Carryin' the weight
Like a rock
Like a rock
The sun upon my skin
Like a rock
Hard against the wind
Like a rock
I see myself again
Like a rock
Oh, like a rock!

SOMEONE is Released now

Last Night You took me home to you
You said you just need some one to hold you 
We both knew what we needed tonight
Our souls are fused in the moonlight
sometimes you need someone to hold you 
someone to heal your pain
someone who can explain
someone to break your chain

关云长　Guan Yun Chang（？～２２０）

Guan Yun Chang was a Chinese figure from about 1,800 years ago.

He is a popular figure in the Records of the Three Kingdoms, and for some reason is now worshipped as a god of commerce.

He remained loyal to Liu Bei, the founder of Shu Han, and was admired by many of his contemporaries, including Cao Cao, for his extraordinary bravery and sense of duty.

Among the military commanders appearing in "Epic of the Three Kingdoms," he was as popular as Zhuge Liang, and because he valued righteousness, later generations deified him and designated him as the Guan Di (Guan Emperor).

He is worshiped as the god of business in Chinatowns around the world. He is given special treatment in "Epic of the Three Kingdoms" and is described as Kwan Gong rather than Guan Yu.

Let Me Hear About You In Ambience

Mark says,
"Making music with Rodolfo is always exciting and often a challenge, although I know we both find it stimulating, as we always aim to reach high and this post is no exception. This new song, started its gestation almost a year ago, instantly showed a lot of promise and since has been through many stages of exploration and rounds of problem-solving. The painfully blunt lyrics were initially inspired by a friend's brutal relationship break-up, but the final result is much heavier. I hope you find it moving rather than disturbing, I was trying to match the mood of Rod's deeply dramatic music."

Rodolfo says,
"I think it's a fantastic song and you've done an amazing job on both the story and the vocals, especially those tough lines. When I was writing it, I just felt like a modern blues with a techno vibe was taking shape. The final sound was defined by the story and those really dramatic, emotional lyrics. You might want to make it clear that it's a fictional story to avoid giving our friends heart attacks."

We appreciate all of the kind support that the Soundcloud community has given our collaborations. Thanks for listening and sharing your thoughts, Mark and Rodolfo

Me - Vocals and lyrics

Moments of stress,
How did you deal with the rest?
All that is left of you and me,
Is wrecked.
How can we expect,
To go on when there’s nothing at all left?
 
…Left in the lurch,
You should have done more research.
I was truly never a safe bet for you…
For you could have made,
A much better match than you did with me.
 
Open your eyes,
I promise you won’t be surprised,
It’s been there before you,
All along, all of the way…
…Way before you had sensed,
That we had got it all so wrong by then.
 
Moments of stress,
All such a mess,
It’s anyone’s guess,
How it all went so wrong?
Moments of stress,
No more nor less,
Need I express,
How it all went so wrong?

The Song of Sacred Ground - Me As We 2024 Redux

Come Again

This is my latest track "MONOPOLY" and it's based on FREEDOM being monopolized by Politicians, Corporations & Elites Worldwide.

Vocals, Lyrics & Production by RadBabyJoe.

LYRICS:

It's a Monopoly... (repeat)

Roll the Dice, Lose or Win,
It's all a Game.
But they hold the keys and we're
Chained to their name.

It's a Monopoly... (repeat)

They say we're Free to walk,
Free to chose our own path,
Free to chose our road.

But every step I take,
Feels like it’s like it’s full of wrath,
Feels like a debt that's owed.

So here's to the DREAMERS,
Who refuse to Play.

To the one's who break FREE,
Find their own way.

Maybe One Day,
We'll crack this Code.

And FREEDOM won't be something,
We're SOLD!

It's a Monopoly... (repeat)

Monopoly

Lyrics

Forget that anything's wrong.
I find it hard to do, without you everything's gone. 
Try to pull myself back together.
But still I'm clouded by stormy weather.
Time won't make anything right.
I wish that I could hold you, hold you so tight.
The world can be so cold, but we knew that.
I'd trade my life for yours, if I could do that.

Momma sang. 
Me something beautiful. 
As I went to sleep. 
Unafraid. 
Waiting so patiently. 
Soon you'll see.
Momma sang. 
A voice I know so well. 
Come what may
Now awake.
Comfortably waiting to be. 
With you someday. 

Please momma please don't cry.
Give me one last kiss and hug me goodbye.
It'll be ok, I'm going to a better place.
With ladybugs and purple flowers everywhere.
I cant wait to see your face.
You've got to be strong, you're right where you belong. 
The clock will run out someday, and then with me you'll stay. 

Momma sang. 
Me something beautiful. 
As I went to sleep. 
Unafraid. 
Waiting so patiently. 
Soon you'll see.
Momma sang. 
A voice I know so well. 
Come what may
Now awake.
Comfortably waiting to be. 
With you someday. 

Momma sang. 
Me something beautiful. 
As I went to sleep. 
Unafraid. 
Waiting so patiently. 
Soon you'll see.
Momma sang. 
A voice I know so well. 
Come what may
Now awake.
Comfortably waiting to be. 
With you someday. 

February Rain

Out of place, but still aligned
Foreign shape with a native mind
Bright dissonance, I let it show
I don’t fit—don’t need to, though
Streetlight hum in a serif tone
Patterns bloom when I walk alone

Crown of thorns on a fruit of gold
Sweetness hidden, a story told
I am slow in the city’s haste
Out of place—but not displaced

Sidewalk veins in a fractured grid
Numbers whisper what others hid
Glass repeats the sun’s refrain
Steel remembers but not my name
Streetlight hum in a serif tone
Patterns bloom when I walk alone

Crown of thorns on a fruit of gold
Sweetness hidden, a story told
I am slow in the city’s haste
Out of place—but not displaced

Out of place, but still aligned
Foreign shape with a native mind
Bright dissonance, I let it show
I don’t fit—don’t need to, though
Streetlight hum in a serif tone
Patterns bloom when I walk alone

Crown of thorns on a fruit of gold
Sweetness hidden, a story told
I am slow in the city’s haste
Out of place—but not displaced

Sidewalk veins in a fractured grid
Numbers whisper what others hid
Glass repeats the sun’s refrain
Steel remembers but not my name


Displacement

Another previously unheard track from 4 years ago. Still in the doldrums here. Sorry for not listening to all your fine music folks.

Two sides of the same coin. A song of two halves,night and day.

I love the end of the day
When the blue sky darkens
And the light fades away
The sky recedes 
And the colour grows thin
The world opens up
To let the universe in

Sharp edges soften
Become almost blurred
Darkness is birthing
A whole different world

Night and Day
