To read poetry that will strike emotions so deeply
that they will penetrate the marrow of your bones.
(lyrics)
If you think that a kiss is all in the lips
C’mon, you got it all wrong, man
And if you think that our dance was all in the hips
Oh well, then do the twist
If you think holding hands is all in the fingers
Grab hold of the soul where the memory lingers and
Make sure to never do it with the singer
‘Cause he’ll tell everyone in the world
What he was thinking about the girl
Ya, what he’s thinking about the girl, oh
A lot of people get confused and they bruise
Real easy when it comes to love
They start putting on their shoes and walking out
And singing “boy, I think I had enough”
Just because she makes a big rumpus
She don’t mean to be mean or hurt you on purpose, boy
Take a tip and do yourself a little service
Take a mountain turn it into a mole
Just by playing a different role
Ya, by playing a different role, oh
The boat ya you know she’s rockin’ it
And the truth well ya know there’s no stoppin’ it
The boat ya you know she’s still rockin’ it
The truth well you know there’s no stoppin’ it
So what, somebody left you in a rut
And wants to be the one who’s in control
But the feeling that you’re under can really make you wonder
How the hell she can be so cold
So now you’re mad, denying the truth
And it’s hidden in the wisdom in the back of your tooth
Ya need ta spit it out, in a telephone booth
While ya call everyone that you know, and ask ’em
Where do you think she goes
Oh ya, where d’ya suppose she goes, oh
The truth well you know there’s no stoppin’ it
And the boat well ya know she’s still rockin’ it
The boat ya you know she’s still rockin’ it
And the truth ya you know there’s no stoppin’ it
You recognize with your back in the back?
That it’s colder when she rocks the boat
But it’s the cause hittin on the Cardinal Laws?
’bout the proper place to hang her coat
So to you, the truth is still hidden
And the soul plays the role of a lost little kitten but
You should know that the doctors weren’t kiddin?
She’s been singing it all along
But you were hearin’ a different song
Ya you were hearin’ a different song
But you were hearin’ a different song
(Denial stands for DON’T EVEN KNOW I AM LYING)
(denial is not just a river in Egypt)

I was thinking of doing “my doorbell” last night. Set everything up to start it. Practiced, wasn’t coming together. Took a break. Ended up writing my own tune, the one called “I Glorify”. Not sure what to do right now. I have a riff, or I could give the doorbell tune another run.

I swear I have that whole performance memorized. I think, that I might do, “Slowly Turning into You” The tempo is better for me, and the vocals, I want to do it prettier maybe, maybe less harsh..

Yes. That’s the one. Looking at the music right now. Oh, also I have the proper strings on “Shadow” now, gives the instrument a really nice warm full tone.

Cool! I have a riff of my own too. Thinking of holding on to it, getting to know it, letting the words happen, simple..Sometimes I do not know which is easier, doing my own thing or someone else’s. Of course, I usually choose what is easiest. Yup, creative laziness.

You’re making me laugh, “creative laziness”. Oh god, I’m the opposite, I live for torture and the struggle, hahahaha! 🙂 🙂 🙂

Torture has been the norm for me at times. I laughin’. Some people have said to me, “Man, you would really enjoy an extended stay in Boredom.” I am gonna start layin’ tracks for “slowly turning song”.. I might just do it on acoustic…Gonna see tho..hear..I not sure it will be pretty. Less edgey tho certainly.
