D’you believe your best days are behind you?
Years stretching out ahead?
Hollow as a lightening-struck tree
Waiting to bloom again?
No matter what, the inner critic says
You don’t sleep on paving slabs
You’ve a roof over your restful bed
So why hold back your thanks?

Don’t sweat over how it ought to be
There’s love in the way things are
Come back from the way it ought to be
There’s love in the way things are

Won’t you forgive the lowest of yourself
There’s no cost to being kind
Overcoming all these delusions
Is the quest of humankind
Give your thanks, up to lady luck
Your lovers and your friends
Give your thanks, to the Universe
For all that she has sent
Won’t you give some love, just for being here
Beneath blue skies or grey
Give your thanks, finally to yourself
For living life this way

Don’t sweat over how it ought to be
There’s love in the way things are
Come back from the way it ought to be
There’s love in the way things are

(spoken)
Do I have all my fingers?
Do I still have my toes?
Not disfigured or in prison
So why the need to moan?
Forgive the lowest of yourself 
It costs nothing to be kind
Overcoming all these delusions
Is the quest of humankind

Don’t sweat over how it ought to be
There’s love in the way things are
Come back from the way it ought to be
There’s love in the way things are

Love in the way things are

A shoegazy dream-rock Track

.

Lifelines are miracles 
So one might say 
Oh my wounded heart 
Do you believe the same?

Running in circles 
I waste my time
I‘ve never wanted
To draw this line 

But here I am 
Waiting for morning to come 
Here I am 
Longing for the truest of songs 

Blow me away 
And hold me close 
Blow me away 
And hold me closer than ever

Closer than ever (Demo)

A quirky little song about those precious days off from school. Featuring my good friend Michael Gentile on guitar.

Lyrics:

Forecast shows 12 inches of snow
Must be lake effect from Ontario 
I got my pencil in the freezer and it’s getting cold
That’s how these winters always go

The plows come in, but they can’t keep up
My theory and suspicion’s not just based off luck
The weather man says driving’s gonna be tough
As the news comes through that I can’t get enough - let it snow

I don’t care ‘cause I got a snow day
Let my obligations go
I don’t care ‘cause I got a snow day
It can wait ‘till tomorrow

I think I’ll build a snowman
And call him Jeffrey
Or Jimbo
Or Jeff
Or Jim!
Or Jefferson
Who knows?

The sun beats down through winter’s trees
The pines look like their made of vanilla ice cream
Trekking through the woods at least knee deep
The next adventure is wherever you seek

Cars all over the side of the road
There’s some old guy yelling he forgot his phone
And the rest of the world is a swirly ice globe
Something only us up north kids know - let it snow

I don’t care ‘cause I got a snow day
Let my obligations go
I don’t care ‘cause I got a snow day
It can wait ‘till tomorrow 

Yo, who wants to go sledding?
Sledding’s awesome
Until you hit the car
That’s not as fun

Snow Day!

Based on the book "Faith of The Fallen" by the late Terry Goodkind. 

Lyrics:

Ours is the righteous
Ours for the taking 
Ours is the way that these sinners shall know

Come to me my children
And listen to my teaching
For the ways of our people
Will not be swayed

Keep in mind the usurper
The snake and diverger
A shepherd with intent
To lead our lambs astray

Give up your self interest
And look toward our fulfillment
As our Empire still grows
By thousands each day

For we, we are the Order
With no room for quarter
We’ve surpassed most of their borders
They will soon meet their fate

We are the people
We are the chosen
We are the saints who will lead all mankind
We are the power
We are the justice
We are the Order of man held divine 

Do you know of these sinners?
Dear Creator, how you must loathe them!
For they wield a powerful magic
Only darkness can create

And for this is why we must rid them
Take it back for our fellow man
Destroy this world of sinners
And make them all pay

We are the people
We are the chosen
We are the saints who will lead all mankind
We are the power
We are the justice
We are the order of man held divine 

In the outskirts of the city
His head on a pike
As a warning to the rest of the Order
This is not the end of the fight

We are the people
We are the chosen
We are the saints who will lead all mankind
We are the power
We are the justice
We are the Order of man held divine

Part I - The Healer and the Temptress
Part II - The Raven Man
Part III - The Fall of the House of Vess

Featuring on Jil Könemann vocals and guitar.

Lyrics:

Part I - The Healer and the Temptress

Prepare yourself my student, for your final test
Your brother’s succumbed to illness, he’s on the verge of death
Go to the woods of Caligo, find the esis root 
Only that will save him, we’re all counting on you

My life has now led up to this
My path ahead is clear
To save the only one in life
That I hold so dear

And all the things I’ve learned to spell
Yet I feel there’s something more
I’ve buried deep inside myself
A power I can’t ignore

The night is black where shadows crawl
I’ve learned so much, but there’s more to it all
Of bringing the life back into the dead
A wondrous cycle that becomes endless 

Part II - The Raven Man

Don’t be alarmed, I’m a supporter of your father
You’re the the young Lili Vess, I can tell you’re his daughter
The root you are looking for is sadly now turned to ash

They just came this way, igniting the glade
All that is left are the ashes and the graves
Of brave young men who seemed to have met their fate

But I need that to save him
There must be another way
I have to find another root
There must be another glade

There’s no more root, no other glade
So you have but one option
You can bring raise the life out of the dead one
To make a better concoction 
In the art of necromancy
To save your brothers life
It’s the only way you have now Lili
You must decide tonight

With the root in my hand
It glows a gold
It takes me to feelings
I’ve never known

The shadows bend at my will
They call my name
Now to hurry back
There is a life to save

Part III - The Fall of the House of Vess

Crashing through the door she goes
Up the stairs into his room
By his bed there’s crowd
Pours the liquid down his mouth
Not a drop dribbles out

He awakens in a sweat
His eyes are black
His head is wet from the blood
A rage emerges like a flood 
And the life that once was there is purely gone

What have I done? 
Why is this happening?
Brother, will you ever forgive me?
What I thought would save you
Has turned you dead
A raging corpse is all that is left 

He rushes out and down the stairs
Screams are heard from everywhere
The blood sprays up on the wall
And the heads roll down the hall
The undead menace does not fall

The spark inside of her ignites
And it sends her through the night
Into space, out of time
Swirling in a ghastly flight
‘Til she lands deep in a swamp

The Curse of Vess

"Angel In Jeans" is a song for our everyday hereos. Invisible to most of us, they contribute their time, knowledge or money to the society. When I wrote these lyrics I felt like I had something to say. You don't have to be a hero to do something good for others.

Musically, "Angel In Jeans" started as piano pop song with Caitlin's angelic voice. But the more synthesizers I added to the arrangement, the more it longed for a guitar. Garry spiced it up with a touch of funk. Thanks for the collaboration!

This song is part of my album "Going My Way" which can be downloaded at Bandcamp.

==== LYRICS ====
People don't believe in things
They've never seen or never heard before
They cry, they have fear
But they never ever will admit it openly

Though they're rich, they are poor
Though they're accompanied, they're still fools
In their minds they sit beneath a crown
Of importance and wealth while they drown

I am lost, incomplete
But I still keep on being their angel in jeans
Cut my wings, drop me out
but I still keep on being it without doubt

I am lost, incomplete
But I still keep on being their angel in jeans
Cut my wings, drop me out
But I still keep on being it without doubt

They only catch a glimpse of life
When they stare at somebody who is suffering
They won't realize
The one they stare at could be their effigy

People think, I have wings
That I fly and don't exist
But I sit and live in their midst
And doubt what they concede as true

I am lost, incomplete
But I still keep on being their angel in jeans
Cut my wings, drop me out
but I still keep on being it without doubt

I am lost, incomplete
But I still keep on being their angel in jeans
Cut my wings, drop me out
But I still keep on being it without doubt

Going My Way

Angel In Jeans

Angel in Jeans (feat. Caitlin Sigler)

Having washed his soul in the River, the main character from my last song has now become a better Man, well nearly a better man. When you listen to the lyrics i think we may all agree that he might have to make a visit back to the River ..pretty soon.

Used the same guitar as the last time, added some distortion to the lead guitar to add dynamics at the chorus and introduced an acoustic guitar in the Right speaker with the bridge pick up guitar in the left speaker, sort of spreads the sound, I loosened the snare on the  snare drum to get more of a rattle and pumped up the kick a bit. Hope you like it ..All you sinners .

Written, played and produced by: The sinner Johnny Mc Farlane.

A Better Man

THE SEA WAS WATCHING US

Dust is a song about leaving things behind to enforce personal growth. Pondering about your past, you can become blind to your present and the growth in between. This emotional dust has to be blown off the surface. Stop negative self talk and realize, that the things you did in the past have been done by your former self. Accept, that there is wrong about it and that there is no way to change certain decicions. Though having the same goal, the person you are today may solve things differently. Special thanks to the band for recording and to Berni Armstrong for tweaking the lyrics.

==== LYRICS ====

I suffocate in an album full of memories
Try to recreate beautiful sceneries
But now all I can see is how I used to be

I can feel
How it's taking over me
Fill my lungs with dust
Misfortune and mistrust

I can't breathe
Cause it's bursting inside me
All covered up with snow
It's time to gain control

I dig into shattered hopes and prophecies
Inhaling life with all its tragedies
But now all I can see is how I used to be

I can feel
How it's taking over me
Fill my lungs with dust
Misfortune and mistrust

I can't breathe
Cause it's bursting inside me
All covered up with snow
It's time to gain control

Can't take my eyes off you
You're just someone I knew
Come take my hand, take me away!

Goodbye to my former self
I'll be somebody else
No regrets and no return!

I can feel
How it's taking over me
Clear my lungs from dust
Misfortune and mistrust

I can breathe
While it's bursting inside me
All covered up with snow
I’ve finally gained control

Ah, clear my lungs from dust!
Ah, clear my lungs from dust!

Closer than ever (Demo)
