Loveless Black Hole (II)

Something loose and fun to end the week.
A Howlin' Wolf style song.
Hey, in my mind, I'm a great dancer!!!

Lyrics:
We're rug cutting up a little on the dance floor
A little boot scuffin' on the rug (yes we do)
Sashay, into a little parlay with my girl
Bend, dip, twist, and twirl

I took my girl out for a dance on Friday night
And when the band kicked in, she said:
Something just doesn't seem right
I seem to dance on the 1s and the 3s (don't you see?)
High stepping, (yeah!) finger popping, that's what I do
You know when I work real hard
I really bust my moves

Yeah, I was busting my move
and she said to me
"Yeah, there's something wrong boo"
"cause you misaligned the groove'
Misaligned the groove
And that just goes to prove
Alcohol's the only thing that makes my dance moves improve

Rug cutting out on that dance floor
It's my St Louis Charleston flyover turnaround dance
Well, that's not your mother's mambo baby
Boot cutting, stripping down, turn your partner round
Bring em back around

Oh my girl, she calls me "Mr Slinky Bones"
Cause when I dance, I get real long and low
Real long and low
Mr Slinky Bones
She says: You dance like you think that you're  invisible
She calls  me
Mr Slinky Bones
I'm like a dog with 3 legs
Chasing his tail
I'm Mr Slinky Bones

Mr Slinky Bones

From my new album "SOUL PULSE". For this track, I started recording percussion on various objects at home, then added bowls and monk chants samples. I think sound is energy and sound is everywhere waiting for you to discover. Also sound is action, sound manifests you're alive now! Please enjoy! Please express yourself with whatever you can, there is nothing really better to do out there. Headphones recommended. If you like this, please check the album on bandcamp: ariad.bandcamp.com/album/soul-pulse Any support so welcome! Thanks!

Here's another love related ballad that I wrote in 2006, around the time when I married my wonderful wife and my best friend Anita!! The lyrics are about how seldom my beautiful wife wears blue, which is my favorite color, but she looks great in all colors! It's another love ballad that wasn't recorded so well, I still had my old 8-track Tascam back then and I think it could have been mixed a whole lot better. I was still tinkering and getting used to the recorder! Charlie sang it perfectly and I double tracked his vocals, he also added some harmonica on the track as well. The video I put together last month and I threw in a lot of eye-candy and special effects at it to enhance it!

 I had forgotten about this song but when I was producing the video for "She Rescues Me" I noticed the song on the CD and did a video for it too! The melody is nice and the lyrics are sweet and it flows ok. Not my best song but it ain't my worst either! Very corny and old fashioned lyrics but hey, I'm an old fashioned lyric myslefI!😂 Take care and I hope everybody enjoys it! Thanks for dropping by and listening! (Oh and by the way, watch the video because all women look heavenly in blue, am I right?)🙏😎👍

“HEAVENLY IN BLUE”

YOU’RE SO HEAVENLY IN BLUE,    
LIKE A CLOUDLESS, BRIGHT, AND SUNNY DAY,   
OR THE CALM THAT TRANSCENDS A SUMMER SEA,  
YOUR SMILE ALONE CAN CHANGE MY POINT OF VIEW,   
YOU’RE HEAVENLY IN BLUE,
        
YOU’RE SO BEAUTIFUL IN RED,  
LIKE A CRIMSON ROSE KISSING AN AUTUMN DAY,
OR A SUNSET REFLECTING ON THE SEA,  
YOUR WHISPERS ALWAYS LINGER IN MY HEAD,   
YOU’RE BEAUTIFUL IN RED,
                                     
YOU’RE SO BREATHTAKING IN WHITE,   
LIKE A SILVER MOON OVER BISCAYNE BAY,     
OR THE GENTLE FOAM THAT PLAYS UPON THE SEA,  
YOUR STARRY EYES DANCING IN THE NIGHT, 
YOU’RE BREATHTAKING IN WHITE,

YOU’RE SO HEAVENLY IN BLUE,  
LIKE THE MORNING DEW THAT ALWAYS GREETS THE DAY, 
OR THE DEEP, DEEP, BLUE COLOR OF THE SEA,  
YOU RADIATE TRUE LOVE IN EVERY HUE,
BUT YOU’RE SO HEAVENLY IN BLUE.

LYRICS
Talking to myself, yeah, that’s OK
Answer’s right every time
In the end, there isn't much left to say
Shut up shop, all is fine
So much grey, I pray for black & white
At the heart of bad I find the good
Stars shine brighter on the darkest night
Lingers longer than it should 
 
Empty, empty, empty, empty

So quick to quip and cover up your chip
Mistakes made, swallow pride
Sails are filling fast to steady up the ship
Skin is thick now, let it slide
Signs are posted, next direction clear
Treadmill hums along the same
Narrow viewpoint I don’t wanna hear
Pretend away the pain and shame

Will it fade away? Hopefully some day
 
Empty, empty, empty, empty
Again, again, again, again...

Empty

lyrics

I ain't a child no more
I make my own way
I will walk through that door
I see my own fate

emotional no more
emotional no more
emotional, emotional

I can make up my own mind
You don't have the say
I can make the glee inside
I set my own place

emotional no more
emotional no more
emotional no more
emotional no more
emotional, emotional

Strolling backwards
