Saint John and The Revelations - Mexico

Blink and you'll miss this song - it's a short one but I love it.  Written in 1924 by Spencer Williams and made popular by Doris Day in the movie Love Me Or Leave Me.  I repeated the first verse twice, oh well.

LAMB OF GOD - Still Echoes

Sometimes our darkest fears are those that are deepest. This is a song about facing your fears and choosing to embrace hope in the face of wounds and scars that might otherwise seem impenetrable.

Please Excuse Me (so Far)

Live recording of 'Nevermind Me' taken from a performance for Sofar Sounds in Seattle, Wa. 

--

I was a fire in a dream 
I was the first there in between 
your waking and your slumber 
that fleeting moment you're outnumbered 

I shouted warnings to the flesh 
that mocked the riggers of my tests 
Licking the hair from their stocks 
i burn, i burn even the rock 

So, when you reach to find the lock, outstanding 
Your fingertips and your eyes, they are demanding 
You may not touch that which you reach for 
Your mind aglaze with yesterdays and before 

Oh, but if you find me 
just unwind me 
stand behind me 
and Nevermind Me

Nevermind Me

Nevermind Me (Live)

Somebody Else (Clean)

After getting home from a front row seat at a Chris Cornell show at Benaroya Hall,  September 29th, 2015...I was deeply inspired to write a song. I stayed up all night, till the break of dawn and this is what I came up with. Thank you for the inspiration, Chris. This song is too fitting for the horrible news of his passing.

LYRICS:
I never meant to do you so wrong
All these demons that I shown
And people I dissown, I don't even know
Well I never, never, have met my demise
These tears from your eyes
I been broken down
Why do you keep me around?
I'm just a lost soul with my head in the clouds
And I'm never coming down

Always

Written around the time I read the Twilight series, I even  reference the last book in the series almost by name. I love a good love story :)
