Ralphie J Fits'N'Prayers Songs

A Syrian Alawite reflecting on their condition, title plays on classic Feeling Alright.

Feeling Alawite

Describes someone in the midst of depression- a breakup and otherwise hard life....

It Keeps On Rainin'

Someone at a low point in life looking for divine inspiration and guidance.

In Endless Night

Reflecting on personal weakness, pettiness, and voicing appreciation for divine guidance and assistance.

You Walk With Me

Acknowledging the inadequacies and limits of being human against the view of greater power that we often forget or fool ourselves into thinking.

I Know You See Me

Overcome by hardship, loneliness and disillusionment and asking for divine company, love, inspiration and assurance to overcome.

Heal Me

A song to protest the too many working folk who's voices have been silenced and cancelled with our emerging woke culture and governing by an inept and corrupt media, big tech corporate and administration.

Rule Of Flaw

Venting my anger at my older children who were fine and with whom I had a decent relationship through their young years and when I was helping them and supporting them in their teens and early adulthood (college and weddings), but then/now disassociate in the current political landscape because they can't respect my political choices... though I must respect theirs.

Shove It

A narcissistic anthem regaling my corporate exploits and ladder climbing at the pinnacle of my non-music career...

I Came And Conquered

Another warning to those that act callously or with blind ambition- not necessarily maliciously... just driven... to take account periodically, cause even if you didn't mean to step on others- it may still come back to haunt you.

Doesn't Matter

This is a 4 part symphony I composed over the course of a year, several years ago and provided as a bonus track on my album Fits'N'Prayers.

Symphony- Manic Progression

Coming home to a dear-John and a now permanently empty house, remixed and freshened

Letter On The Table

Just trying to draw emotion from and into song... from forthcoming 2022/2023 album Passive Persistence.

Just A Shell Of Me
-------------------

What's going on with my relationships
What's going on inside my head
Am I not saying what I'm meaning
Are you not hearing what I've said

I'm getting to the point of giving up
It seems to always end the same
Against the odds always the bad guy
If I just lose why play the game

Now you've gone away
We can't go back
To the way things used to be
And so I face another day
A lesser man
Just a shell of me

I wish you could have seen my thought clouds
I think they might have helped a lot
They would have let you know I loved you
When all my clumsy words did not

I'm beside myself
With no one here to hold me
No one I can blame
Beside myself

Just A Shell Of Me
