Guys like you as tough as nails give my heart a fluster
Gettin’ right up on me baby with the swagger and the bluster
And when I catch my breath again, I remember you're protectin’
That beatin’ thing inside your chest that's worried about rejection

Sometimes we girls don’t understand the beating heart inside of a man
Understand he's a man

I wanna tell you I’m in on the joke but you got that shield of pride
And the highest degree of security for that tender part inside
I'm ‘onna tell you something else: When your heart starts to pitch and moan
The feelin's kind of undermined when you know you’re not alone

Sometimes we girls don’t understand the beating heart inside of a man
Understand he's a man
He’s a man

You show the world what you want them to see
But you’re real: you feel, you bleed
So darlin’ in the dark wee hours
You can share your pain with me
Share your pain with me
You can share your pain

Guys like you so full of bluff give my tender heart a shudder
Rough and roll and showing off and melting me like butter
But you aren’t fooling me you know, and while I’m tight against your armor
I promise you I will protect the secret that you harbor

I’m gonna try to understand
The beating heart inside of a man
Understand, he’s a man

Girls Don't Understand (with Janine Levinson)

Space Games

Divin' Into The Galactic Swamp

If this ain’t nice then what is ?  This was said by Kurt Vonneguts’ uncle at family gatherings according to Kurt in a YouTube video of one of his lectures about the shapes of stories . So it goes .

Joe Strummer made some of the best music I’ve ever heard .  Phenomenal songwriter musician who made each song his own.  He wrote a song titled “Ramshackle Day Parade” .  So it goes .

The vw bus bit is a high school memory.  Imagine The 70’s Show .  Old Bob is a ditty from long, long ago.

If this ain’t nice 

Do you remember full back seat 
Freshman September full back seat

Volkswagen micro bus
Sits upon four cinder blocks
Move the rear view mirror 
So I see you see me

Do you remember full back seat 
Freshman September full back seat 

Old Bob can’t find a job
And never will
Old Bob married Jill 
Poor Jill 

If this ain’t nice 
Then what is 
Living day after day
In the great
Ramshackle day parade

if this ain’t nice

The Odds Of The Roll

Hello… so have you ever noticed certain things about yourself that never change? This song, ‘Just Like I Always Do’ is about that very thing. I found myself  outside the other day, playing with rivulets of snow melt. Making channels with a rake, for the water to run down and I laughed… my feet were soaking wet and I was having a grand old time. Reminded me of a time in kindergarten, when I arrived late to school, soaked to the bone, as I was playing in the rain along the way. So that playful side of me has not changed at all. I also noticed, like flowing water, how vital it is for me to keep moving. A fluidity when it comes to living and learning about life. Recently, singing has been like that for me. Bear with me on this. A little backstory: As a kid, I had a brief stint in my middle school choir. I did not want to join the choir, that’s for sure. The music teacher had picked us out, after brief singing auditions. After our first performance, my mother, God rest her soul, told me I did not have to go back to choir anymore, if I did not want to. Out of the 50 kids on stage, I was the only one not singing. I just looked down so no one could see my mouth… except my eagle-eyed mom. Simple as that, I was done with it. There were other things I wanted to do as a precociously rebellious kid, running around the neighborhood, as it were. Now, half a century later, I have been learning to sing on my own. It has not been easy uncovering that latent voice of mine. Looking back, sometimes I wish I had stuck with it as a kid. So about a decade or so ago, this dude I worked with asked me if I’d show him some stuff on guitar. His mom was a musician and music teacher and he grew up with music in his life. He was always singing and playing guitar. As we hung out, he noticed I never sang and asked me why. After basically dodging his question, he told me the only thing stopping me from singing was me. Talk about a hard lesson to swallow. So now, bringing us up to speed, I had some fun exploring my nascent singing voice on this song. The image is of me and Garnet running the hills in early Spring. Hope you like it and thanks for listening. Take care, Mark

Just Like I Always Do

"Backfire" is a song about false friends and wishing that their toxic shoots fire back at them. However, your wish stays a wish, because your pride and dignity keeps you from causing harm. 
Lemonbrew started the collaboration with a catchy and energetic rock progression. I rearranged the song and wrote lyrics and a vocal melody. Later, Flinn joined us to rock out the vocals. Thank you very much for collaborating, it's been a lot of fun!

==== LYRICS ====

You wasted my precious time
on spreading rumours and lies
Shooting me in  a drive-by
drawing me into riptide

I'll catch this ricochet
I gonna... misbehave and disobey,
I wanna... 

Watch how burn your fingers and...
build a castle on quicksand
or wade through wasted land
(Of course I wanna...)

Catch a ball and I fire it back to you!
Catch you out and I fire it back to you!
Catch hell and I fire it back 
And again and again and again 
That's what you make me do!

So I light up a light
To escape from the twilight
Not ready for the limelight
Not ready to start a fight

I'll catch this ricochet
I gonna... misbehave and disobey!

Catch a ball and I fire it back to you!
Catch you out and I fire it back to you!
Catch hell and I fire it back 
And again and again and again 
That's what you make me do!

That's what you make me do!

One day, I gonna be tough
give way for vengeance and grudge
I'll push you into the sludge
Where there is noone to judge

And I wanna... 

Catch a ball and I fire it back to you!
Catch you out and I fire it back to you!
Catch hell and I fire it back 
And again and again and again 
That's what you make me do!

That's what you made me do!

Hi guys, a lot of people wrote me why there are no more new songs from me and why I don't respond to the comments anymore. The reason is that I was burnt out, my head was burnt out. I wrote and produced 70 songs in 3 years and collaborated with wonderful artists, so I took a creative break for a few months to write and produce new ideas and songs. I want to thank all the people who wrote me such wonderful comments and listened to my music and followed me. Thanks thanks thanks and again a thousand thanks. and this is my new song ( Dancing Like A Fool ) I wish you a lot of fun with the song. I hope you like it.  And as always. ++++Turn it up loud++++

Dancing Like A Fool

Synesthesia is main motif for this song, first because of original lyrics, then as I felt like adding it more flavor with female vocals*, & finally when I recently watched some paintings about this matter**.

*Great vocal performance by https://soundcloud.com/maraoldfield is most notorious matter in this piece, where riffing parts toggle with bass-guided proggy ones.

**Due credits to https://soundcloud.com/wouwouandthewormling for ad hoc painting of the song’s artwork.

Letra  /  Lyrics:

QUIERO SABER SI HACE CALOR  /  I WANT TO KNOW IF IT IS HOT

En verano, insoportable,  /  In summer, unbearable,
todo está lleno de ruido.  /  everything is full of noise.
El invierno, silencioso,  /  The winter, silent,
que congela los sonidos.  /  which freezes the sounds.

No quisiera quedarme sorda  /  I don’t want to get deaf
sin saber cuándo hace frío.  /  not  knowing when it’s cold. 
No quisiera quedarme sorda  /  I don’t want to get deaf
para saber si hace frío.  /  so as to know if it’s cold.

Los días soleados  /  Sunny days
acompañan al estío  /  go along with the summer
y cuando llega el invierno  /  and when the winter comes
el cielo está oscurecido.  /  the sky is darkened.

No quisiera quedarme ciega  /  I don’t want to get blind
sin saber cuándo hace frío.  /  not  knowing when it’s cold.
No quisiera quedarme ciega  /  I don’t want to get blind
para saber si hace frío.  /  so as to know if it’s cold.

When the rain has stopped 
And the cold’s come over night 

Wanderers 

Wanderers 
Can never 
Wanderers 
Don’t ever 
Look down 
You’re too far 
Far away 
From home 

Don’t you tell them anything 
And don’t you dare believe a thing 
Don’t you tell them anything 
And don’t you dare believe a thing 

Wanderers 

You’re too far 

From home 

Wanderers 
Can never 
Wanderers 
Don’t ever 
Look down 
You’re too far 
Far away 
From home 

You’re too far 

Far away 

From home
