Hats absolutely off. One of your very best. Bravo.

Turn It Up

Have you ever gotten a little funked up going to a gas/petrol station? 

JonD and I came up with the chord progression and groove.
I am playing the guitar and via my wind controller the tenor sax.
Band-in-a-Box is supplying the remaining tracks.

Going To Get Gas

NumTwo

A song about a stupid war from a stupid country that brings so much suffering and tension in the world.

Lyrics
Winds of War
(c) HWBerkhout (Birchwood), april 2022

v
Can you hear it, that roar
These are the Winds of War
Can you see them, the armies all packed?
Ukraine is to be attacked

Chorus
Out of nowhere destruction starts
ripping people and cities apart
Russia is the invader, 
under the guise of being a savior

v
Can you see it, cities in flames?
Caused by the Winds of War
Can you feel it, that burning heat?
People are dying, they don't cheat
Can you hear it, that sound of shells?
It's Russia ringing 'peace' bells

Chorus
Out of nowhere destruction starts
ripping people and cities apart
In the UN, Russia has a veto, right?
A license to rape, murder and fight

But it's leader, that shark
His soul must be pitch-dark
Putin, that evil little villain
who loves all this killing

Solo

Chorus

Outro
We will stop all he enjoys
End his urge to destroy
Putin, he will lose
his Winds of War

Winds Of War

It’s the look in your eyes
The casual steps
The subliminal sighs
In your every breath
And the way they shade
Your every point of view

It’s the things that you say
The things that you don’t
The things that you do
And the things that you won’t
They speak to me 
Like you never do

I’ve tried so hard to give you all my love
Now I just don’t know what I was thinking of

Why do you break my heart
Baby, why do you pull my world apart
When all I ever do I do for you
Why do you always tear me down
When I finally feel we’re on solid ground
I find you running round with someone new

You say our love deserves a brand new start
But then you run, baby
Why do you break my heart

I should move right along
Leave you behind
But I’m just not that strong
It feels so unkind
Cause I know you need 
Someone to lean upon

And I want be there
And it’s hard not to be
When I think that you care
More than you let me see
And I just don’t know 
How free I’ll be if gone
  
And you always seem the storm I’m bracing for
So I wonder why I open up that door

Why Do You Break My Heart

GOOD THING I GAVE MY HEART TO YOU

forgot to run the dryer, my jeans are soaking wet
the dog's missing and we're late for the vet
haven't seen the check book in a couple of weeks
the phone's ringing again.... now, where could it be
i got the dog in the car, now i can't find my keys
if it ain't one thing it's another with me
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;good thing i gave my heart to you
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;no tellin' all the trouble it'd be gettin' into
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;knowing all the stupid things that i can do
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;good thing i gave my heart to you
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;good thing i gave my heart to you

mama always said, (and you know she's never wrong)
i'd probably lose my head if it wasn't screwed on
half of my stuff would never be found
if it ain't locked up, nailed shut or tied down
but one part of me... i'll always know where it'll be
it's the only thing i ever lost intentionally
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;good thing i gave my heart to you
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;no tellin' all the trouble it'd be gettin' into
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;knowing all the stupid things that i can do
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;good thing i gave my heart to you
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;good thing i gave my heart to you

one part of me... i'll always know where it'll be
it's the only thing i ever lost intentionally
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;good thing i gave my heart to you
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;no tellin' all the trouble it'd be gettin' into
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;knowing all the stupid things that i can do
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;good thing i gave my heart to you
   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;good thing i gave my heart to you

Good Thing I Gave My Heart To You

A really smooth, jazzy number with a touch of Ska percussions.  An unusual but nice combination. Features Jazz guitar on lead.

Better All The Time

If you’re handing out a sentence
Can I add a few words
What will be my penance 
For the lies that you have heard
Not to touch your lips
To feel your kiss
To share your bed
All for his whispers in your head
  
Among the lies and rumors
There’s a strand of truth
In that tangled web
My innocence and proof
Among the lies and rumors 
Cruel flames of love burn free
Sparked by someone’s jealousy

He’s tried to win you over
With his artful deceit
Have you crying on his shoulder
And falling at his feet
How you believe a word
Of what you’ve heard
I can’t decide
But it makes me feel so dead inside

And I know he lies so well
But I thought you knew more about me
And they say that time will tell
But, love, how you could ever doubt me
