Sand

everything i’ll ever need (original)

This song is for every singer/songwriter from the past or living today.

Lyrics

Writing stories with heart and soul
Singing songs to strangers unknown
Hoping for acceptance, but fearing failure
Longing for someone to just see them as they really are


Bob, James, Carole, and Laura so true
Joni in her wisdom, a songbird in blue
They wrote of their lives, the ups and the downs
Sharing their stories, for others to sing along

Singer songwriter, sing me a song
Tell me a tale of where you belong
Maybe we'll find a connection, a place to belong
As we smile together, our connection growing strong

In the heart of their souls, we find some calm
In the melodies and words, is where we begin
Through laughter and tears, joy and pain
The singer and the songwriter’s legacy will always remain


So, let’s remember the storytellers, the voices of light
Who guide us through darkness, into the night
In their stories, we find our way back home
The singers and the songwriters, are forever known

Lyrics:

Hey. 
Hey.
Hey my brother, why you screen my calls?
Just like mother. 
Why's she screen our calls?
Answer when we call. 
Uncle Sid arrived this fall. 

Now I'll fly around on some old cheerios.
And I'll make it known when I know what I know. 

Now I'm drifting off,
Can't you feel we're drifting off. 
Yeah I feel we're drifting off. 
I turn around, and you're gone, gone, gone. 

Hey.
Hey.
Hey, can you find my shoes?
Hey, can't be that hard to lose. 
Time it came and went so soon. 
Yeah, time it came and went too soon. 

I'm flyin' round on some old cheerios.
And I'll make it known when I know what I know. 

Now I'm drifting off,
Can't you feel we're drifting off. 
Yeah I feel we're drifting off. 
I turn around, and you're gone, gone, gone.

Old Cheerio

"You Got to Me” is a love song about a wedding. McMurtry reminisces of the two of them when they first started out while providing vivid details of the wedding and party around them. The song documents the maturing process of growing from a single, reckless man to a married, more subdued husband, and McMurtry himself may not quite understand what it all means yet."

You Got To Me - James McMurtry  (Cover)

To be with you

Lyrics:
Walking the hall, hours to go. 
Stare at the people lined in a row. 
Head for the gate, scanners in sight. 
They're searching a nun and a child on the right. 

Here we are, nothing's gonna come our way
Proudly born victims of the USA.
Let it out, and let it all sink right in.
I believe they'll shackle us in chains again. 

I'm moving fast. Feet on the floor.
It ends and I stop, man I wish they had more. 
Got all the time, nothing to lose. 
I've browsed all the shit they want us to choose. 

Here we are, nothing's gonna come our way
Proudly born victims of the USA.
Let it out, and let it all sink right in. 
I believe they're shackle us in chains again. 

Have your morals grown cold?
Yeah, when your morals grow cold, 
You'll do whatever's told. 
Well have your morals grown cold?

I’m We|ai (way-lay), or Wes Bocci. This is a lifelong solo project, and a diary of my musical journey. 

I grew up in the Portland area and started teaching myself guitar in the 7th grade. After being exposed to a lot of 90s alternative music growing up, I soon discovered 1960s rock in high school. I started writing my own songs sometime around then. 

I primarily write on guitar, banjo, ukulele, or piano. I also collect different types of instruments, all of which I try to incorporate into my work. 

This Soundcloud page will update periodically as I continue finishing my next album, Sunny One. Thanks for listening, and please follow me to hear more soon.
