Monday Playlist week of 12/26/2022

My lyrics below inspired Riff to create this track
Vocals, All Music & Mix by Riff Beach 

HER MIND GOES BACK IN TIME
TO A PLACE CALLED BULL MOUNTAIN
AS WINTERS FIRST  SNOW IS FALLIN'
IT'S ALMOST CHRISTMAS TIME

THE MOUNTAIN IS BEAUTIFUL 
AND OH WHAT A TIME THEY WILL HAVE
THE MEMORIES ARE WONDERFUL
NOTHING IS COMPLICATED

(CHORUS)
SHE DREAMS OF GOIN' BACK TO BULL MOUNTAIN
WHERE THEY LAUGHTED AND HAD A GREAT TIME
HER MAMA IS IN THE KITCHEN COOKIN'
THE GOOD TIMES ARE NOT FORGOTTEN

NO I-PHONES OR I-PADS BACK THEN
NO FACEBOOK POST TO WORRY ABOUT
THE GOOD TIMES WILL SOON BEGIN
AND NOBODY WILL BE LEFT OUT

KIDS ARE RUNNIN' AND PLAYIN'
AND HAVIN' A GOOD TIME
CAUSE CHRISTMAS TIME IS COMIN'
AND IT WILL SOON BE SHOWTIME

(REPEAT CHORUS)

On The Road To Find Out - Yusuf Cat Stevens
Well, I left my happy home, to see what I could find out
I left my Folk and Friends with the aim to clear my mind out
Well, I hit the rowdy road, and many kinds I met there
And many stories told me on the way to get there 
(Chorus)
So, on and on I go, the seconds tick the time out 
So, much left to know, and I'm on the road to find out
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh (throughout)
But in the end I'll know, but on the way I wonder
Through descending snow, and through the frost and thunder
Well, I listen to the wind come howl, telling me I have to hurry
I listen to the robin's song, saying not to worry
(Chorus…..and then instrumental)
Well I found myself alone, hoping someone would miss me
Thinking about my home and the last woman to kiss me
Well sometimes you have to moan, when nothing seems to suit ya’
But nevertheless you know, you're locked towards the future
And I found my head one day, when I wasn't even trying
And here I have to say, ‘cause there is no use in lying
Yes the answer lies within, so why not take a look now?
Kick out the devil’s sin…..Pickup, pickup a good book now
Yes the answer lies within, so why not take a look now?
Kick out the devil’s sin……Pickup, pickup the good book now
(Slower) Yes the an-swer lies with-in, so why not take a look now
Kick out the devil’s sin……Pickup, pickup The Good Book now

On The Road to Find Out

On The Road To Find Out - Version

New song written by David Cooper and Glen Granthem.

Glen sent me a poem he had written.

I added music/vocal.

Hope you enjoy what you hear.

Verse 1

There's a place I need to go
The outer limits that no one knows
Lost amongst the atmosphere 
Every night you'll find me here

Verse 2

I need to taste the midnight air 
And feel the stars inside my head
Watch the sun begin to shine
The only place this world is mine

Chorus

Deep inside my sweet dreams
On a pillow made of sand
The ocean breeze is blowing 
Against these empty hands

Verse 3

Underneath the galaxy
 Is where I see my destiny     
The outer limits are where I go
The outer limits that no one knows 

Outro 
The outer limits that no one knows   
The outer limits that no one knows

The Outer Limits (Cooper/Granthem Collaboration)

The love of my life. The best 10 years 14 days we shared together.( Caroline Jean Winchester ) she was 50 years old. I think about her every day . She was the strongest person I ever knew. I miss her laugh the most. It came so easy for her. A tribute to her  written by myself in 2017.
LYRICS
IF I SIT ON THE EDGE OF THE WORLD WILL I FALL INTO OUTER SPACE
OR WILL I HEAR YOUR SOOTHING VOICE TELLING ME I'LL LEAD YOU HERE
OR WILL I SPIN WAY OUT OF CONTROL DOWNWARD SPIRAL
TO A DEEP BLACK HOLE. AND IF I TRY TO REACH OUT TO YOU
WILL THIS DREAM TONIGHT COME TRUE

YOU'LL FOREVER LIVE DEEP INSIDE MY HEART
THROUGH UPS AND DOWNS AND BRAND NEW STARTS
THE WORLD TURNS  THE SEASONS WILL CHANGE
IT'S NOT THE SAME IT'S NOT THE SAME

YOU USE TO SAY YOU'D FIND YOUR WAY 
TO KEEP ON LIVING BEYOND THE GRAVE
AND HELP ME THROUGH ALL THE PAIN  THERE'S STILL PAIN
SO MUCH PAIN... ITS BEEN EIGHT LONG YEARS SEEMS LIKE YESTERDAY
TIME RAN OUT YOU COULDN'T BE SAVED 
THE DAY YOU DIED THE LIGHTS WENT DARK 
MY SPIRIT DIED AND MY SOUL CRIED OUT

YOU USE TO SAY YOU'D FIND YOUR WAY TO KEEP ON LIVING BEYOND THE GRAVE AND HELP ME THROUGH ALL THE PAIN BUT THERE'S STILL PAIN SO MUCH PAIN.,,,,,,

The Day You Died  ( ORIGINAL ) Carolines Song  With  Lyric Sheet

Ah, nostalgia.  Maybe the older we get, the more we keep longing for days of our past.  Just some sweet memories of my childhood days living as share-croppers in the Louisiana Delta near the Mississippi River.

Have you ever seen the rain

I am an unsigned singer/songwriter from Sunderland in the north east UK.

I have been writing songs for a few years now and have CD's on various web sites such as CD Baby, Itunes , Spotify etc.  My goal is to write good songs and hopefully have come up with a few along the way.

I love wring and recording songs – it gives me great pleasure staring from nothing but a blank piece of paper and finally coming up with something that sounds good.

I have collaborated with other people while being on Soundcloud – my long-time partner Ralph Donkin writes exceedingly good lyrics and between us have come up with many a good song.

My other partner Glen Granthem from Sacramento in USA has also been inspirational in my recordings – he is a very talented musician and producer and has brought life to many of my songs that otherwise would have been second rate.  We also have collaborated on many songs.

I have written songs with other people and I thank them from the bottom of my heart for their endeavours.

Thank you for all of you that have listened and commented on my songs and those who will in the future.  I am very grateful that you stopped by and listened – hope you have enjoyed what you have heard.

Again many thanks and good luck for the future in your musical endeavours.
