Wonder Why (Alberta)

It’s difficult for people to escape doubt. No matter how good things may seem at any point in our lives, there are always moments of concern, of counter-thought and worry that lurk in the shadows of our imagination. Few things are without blemish and most of us can be unforgiving in the presence of imperfection. Thus, the shadows and the darkness that seeks to stifle the light.

Lyrics:
Shadows of Doubt by Daniels & Durgy

Love can come, through the wind and rain
But too much sun, burns it all away
What I thought was fun,
What I thought would stay
Is up and gone like a Christmas Day

You appeared and your lips were true
Through the fear, I was lost in you
It was all so clear, but the moments flew
Then it slipped away with the slightest clue

But I still want you, but do I dream
Is my judgment, too extreme
Am I searching for an excuse
Could I ever, really cut you loose

As love grows, time reveals
Everything it knows, coming off its wheels
Dealing blows, does it blow the deal
Does it show what my heart should feel

Just a couple words, did I read ‘em wrong
Cause the way I heard, hit me pretty strong
The doubt occurred, like a half-wrote song
Throw it all away and just move along.  

But I still want you, but do I dream
Is my judgment, too extreme
Am I searching for an excuse
Could I ever really cut you loose
No, I just can’t let you loose.

Shadows Of Doubt

This is the part of Witches, Junkies, and Weirdos where we slow it down and take a moment to appreciate those around us, the ones that give us a reason to keep on living.  Do You Remember? is a song dedicated to the love of my life, Wendy, and inspired by old 50's doo wop!

Do You Remember?

BBBass

This is a song inspired by a wonderful poem of the same title that I came across on the web recently.  It's written by a guy named Christopher without further information (not me though).   I eventually took the liberty & converted it into a song.  I gave it a bit of a country feel and hope you would enjoy listening.

[LYRICS]
She looks into air, herself falling rain
Dripping coldness past, memories old pain.
Drops fall, the puddling her damp water-life.
Spiraling a mirror, self-lonely strife.

Clouds a-whorl, dark sky sheltering fair heart.
But how can she joy, while taking no part?
Covering cold soul, corona of defense.
Defying the stab of her fate's intents.

This is madness, she thinks in plaintive cry.
I'm here, on the cusp, of lay down and die.
What my destiny, but an empty-off dream?
A plaything with which gods and angels scheme.

Am I doomed then to live, time never-free?
Subsumed wholly 'neath life's scattered debris?
Is justice outside this torrential doubt?
Perhaps more than sorrow,  painful fall-out?

Instrumental break

Personal paradise, which I can own,
Evoking happiness, hither unknown?
She raises from streets of lonely no more.
Light slicing through darkness, hopes washed ashore.

Her withered gait now straightening with pride.
She glides like an angel 'cross future's tide.
Caressing the ground, sing the beat of her heart.
Into the sun seeking love's brand new start.

Into Every Life

Rust & Bones – Fetchflix TV Series – Miss Scarlett

soundcloud.com/user-461764443/sets/rust-bones-new-tv-series-1

The voluptuous, sexy and very beautiful Miss Scarlett Page-Turner, commonly called “Miss Scarlett”, is the daughter of Ronny Page, flutist of the not so famous rock group "Led Vanillin", and Hazel Turner, full time pimp in her neighborhood brothel called “The Nuts”. Since Miss Scarlett Page-Turner was working for her mother as a call girl, she was assigned classy customers such as Dick Boneman. It did not take long for Mr. Boneman to understand how the big selling potential of Miss Scarlett would help his business. Mr. Boneman offered her a job in the sales department of Boneman & Sacks Relic Asset Management Inc. and she became sales rep for the North American Catholic market where she was meeting Bishops and Cardinals to sell them holly relics. The secret of her success was obviously the spicy extras she was offering during the sales meeting. Eventually, sales started to go low when Bishops and Cardinals where too busy dealing with sexual abuses scandals from their priests and having to hide them. Miss Scarlett lost her job as a sales rep and started a new career as novel writer. Her first and only novel “The  Bishops Secret Jewels” was a total success. Indeed, this novel was a real page turner. It was based on the unorthodox meetings she had with Bishops and Cardinals, which later were disclosed by journalist on the news. Could being laid-off by Mr. Boneman be a good reason to kill him? Naaaaah, she became his full time sexy mistress and his partner in crime for much worst sins.

Musical Note:
The double bass line at the beginning is based on the bass line of the “Lady Marmalade” song written by Bob Crewe and Kenny Nolan in 1974. The “Lady Marmalade” song is well known for its suggestive lyrics that you probably know very well. I was also vaguely inspired by the song “Scarlet” recorded in 1974 by the English rock band the “Rolling Stones” featuring guitarist Jimmy Page of the “Led Zeppelin” rock band.

Heavy Punk Rock 'n' Roll band turns into Synthwave nowadays! Brand NEW album "Ultraviolet Cosmos" available NOW!

I've been on Soundcloud for six years now and it's been great exploring the work of other artists.  There is so much generosity of spirit on this platform, it's just what you need when most of your music is made solo. 

I started out playing classical and Spanish guitar, then took up flamenco to ease myself away from the confines of musical notation. As a result, Latin rhythms often creep into my music. 

A friend introduced me to steel string and electric guitars just a few years ago and I still find the scope they bring dizzying... but what fun!
