Fun, upbeat tune, enjoy...  Was hoping to get my son to do the trombone part, but he was not up for the task.

ONLY PASSING BY
After 20 years you think you know me
You’ve still got a few tricks to show me
I look you in the eyes and I’m not seeing it
Spent half your life in my arms
I don’t think you appreciate my charm
I try to force your smile but you’re not having it
We’re reaching for stars they tell us we’ll never see
Our one and one is making three…
If I had a dime for every time you asked me what’s going on inside my head well I’d be rich
I think you ought to know that I never really needed anyone quite like this

You were only passing by when you stopped and changed my life
A moment frozen here in time when you stopped it changed my life

You think you see me in a different light today
A different angle a different kind of way
After all these years, well I ain’t changed a bit
I can barely tell you where we are
My intuition never got me all that far
Where we’ll be tomorrow, I just can’t predict
There is a time and place to build memories, mine is with you and you’re with me
A decade goes by in the blink of an eye but a beautiful sunset last ‘til the end of time
It goes on and on but I don’t question it

You took me in and you turned my life around
Turned me into someone I could believe in again…

You were only passing by when you stopped and saved my life
A moment frozen here in time when you stopped and saved my life

Not a day goes by that I don’t realize that I did, you did, we all did alright
It speaks volumes that I wouldn’t change a thing…

Thanks to Almost Ghetto for final mix.

The Very First Christmas

Finneus' hard rockin' 6 song EP "Raise Me Up" was released September 4, 2020.

Raise Me Up

Fun poppy song I wrote.  All parts performed by yours truly... Thanks to Jeff for the gospel clap idea at the end.

WHAT GOES UP

I've been a lot of places, I've seen a lot of things I shouldn't have seen
I've met a lot of people, I've said a lot of things I didn't mean
It gets a little harder to close your eyes and dream
When the road behind you is longer than the road you can see
What do I see?

What goes up, must come down
Everything it spins around
I'd like to think that I'll be here forever
But I know that its just not true
What goes up, must come down

I'm taking it easy, as easy as can be
Let the road less traveled have its way with me
Sit back and enjoy an Sunday afternoon
It may not be as peaceful one day soon...

CHORUS

Define the gravity its pulling me
Make it go away (oh... make it go away)
A living tragedy, it beckons me
Its begging me to stay (oh... make it go away)

CHORUS

What Goes Up

I'm the bassist and lead singer with the band Finneus.  The majority of what I post here is solo material where I have done the majority of the work myself using ProTools.  I've been hammering away on the bass since about 1988, but I dabble with guitar and keys enough to make me dangerous on most of what you'll hear out here.  I write all kinds of stuff, so the majority of what is here is stuff that doesn't fit into Finneus' wheelhouse, so I recorded it myself.
