Absolutely fabulous from start to finish!

A song suggesting the relationship is sinking,  But there's still the hope of patching it up.

Down Down Down

I was dreamin’ of a city
Where the buildings live forever         
Some brick and steel painting        
Like a shadow and an echo
            
Middle of October   
Sky gettin’ colder          
Wind hittin’ harder         
Like it’s tryin’ to tell ya somethin’
            
The streetlights sputter sermons
mm-hmm          
And it kinda makes me nervous
uh-huh

Well some folks speak a language         
The city don’t wanna learn        
Written in the alleys
And the barrels that still burn

Drill gang on the corner         
Spittin’ like a drummer           
But the bullets still fly          
Just chasin’ down the summer
        
I was dreamin’ of that city       
Dreamin’ of that sorrow         
Clock says it’s October           
But it’s already tomorrow

Dreamin' Of A City

Spirited Gypsy Jazz number in the style of Django and Grappelli but with somewhat of a modern arrangement.

Gypsies - No Tramps Or Thieves

We wake in the morning taking our places
And march to the beat of the drum
Perpetual motion somehow erases
All that we ache to become

And, oh, so we go
But one day the calm will come
Until then I’m holding out for love

Watching it sideways it all seems so shaken
The way that our world ought to be
One of these days our hearts will awaken 
And then we may finally see

That, oh, heaven knows
How the dark will be undone
Until then, I’m holding out for love

Feel this heart inside 
and know it’s always meant to shine
No matter what the world demands
Love and fate have better plans
It’s hard to see now
With eyes closed and head down

But, oh, heaven knows
How one day your kingdom comes
Until then, I’m holding out for love.

Nothing's Changed

A song perhaps about perpetual ignorance.

Have Mercy On Me

Here's a tune I co-wrote with lyricist John Vaughan.  The original, still available on SoundCloud, was done using Band In The Box, with me on vocals.  This one is a Suno Cover.  The original is not half bad, but lacking from a production standpoint, as it was an early BIAB effort.  But this Suno cover capture the essence of the tune as imagined very well.  Hope you enjoy!!

She’s got rhythm in her body,
rhythm in her bones.
She's on the dance floor,
dancing all alone.

And I said, “Ooh ooh oooh, baby, ooh.
Ooh ooh oooh, baby, ooh.”

She’s got no inhibitions—
She don't look around.
She only hears the music;
she only feels that beating sound.

I said, “Ooh ooh oooh, baby, ooh.
Ooh ooh oooh, baby, ooh.”

Guys try to join her,
She always cuts them out.
But I’m gonna make my move tonight,
I’m gonna find out what that girl’s about.

I said, “Ooh ooh oooh, baby, ooh.
Ooh ooh oooh, baby, ooh.”

So I danced along side her—
couldn’t tell what she was thinking.
Then she held out her hand.
and we started spinning

And I said, “Ooh ooh oooh, baby, ooh.
Ooh ooh oooh, baby, ooh.”
I said, “Ooh ooh oooh, baby, ooh.
Ooh ooh oooh, baby, ooh.”

And she’s so cool.

She’s got rhythm in her body,
rhythm in her bones.
She's on the dance floor,
but now she not so all alone.

And I said, “Ooh ooh oooh, baby, ooh.”
And she said “Ooh ooh oooh, baby, ooh.”
And I said, “Ooh ooh oooh, baby, ooh.”
And she said, “Ooh ooh oooh, baby, ooh.”

Ooh Ooh Baby (Suno Cover)

Thump my pillow, start tossing and turning—
the night’s are kinda long when your mind keeps churning.
So I get on up and with my PJs on
I open the curtain and I gaze upon
that glowing face in the summer sky,
a midnight buddy for a lonely guy.

Well, he’s hanging in the sky like a big balloon
and his arms are reaching for me in my troubled room,
and I find myself a-hummin’ a familiar tune,
so my worries in the end 
are put to ease by my silver friend.
And she may not be coming back anytime soon,
but that’s alright because tonight
I’ve got the moon.

All the good times that we shared together—
I wasn’t quite aware that it wouldn’t last forever.
I keep getting hung up on the things she did,
but Mr. Moon reminds me that’s no way to live.
He tells a joke about a mastodon,
and keeps me laughing all night long.

Well, he’s hanging in the sky like a big balloon
and his arms are reaching for me in my troubled room.
I start thinking about a cow and dish and spoon,
so my worries in the end 
are put to ease by my silver friend.
And she may not be coming back anytime soon,
but that’s alright because tonight
I’ve got the moon.

All it takes to stop a heart from achin’
is a willing ear and a little conversation.

And, he’s hanging in the sky like a big balloon
and his arms are reaching for me in my troubled room,
and I find myself a-hummin’ a familiar tune,
so my worries in the end 
are put to ease by my silver friend.
And she may not be coming back anytime soon,
but that’s alright because tonight
I’ve got the moon.

Me and Mr. Moon are going to shine, shine shine.
Me and Mr. Moon are going to shine, shine, shine.
