Constructive Summer. The lyrics speak to the bleak hopelessness of living in the Mid-West of the United States And the triumphant sets of friends one gets to live with, in order to survive. I think this is a good track. (lyrics) Me and my friends are like The drums on “Lust for Life” We pound it out on floor toms Our psalms are sing-along songs This whole town is like this Been that way our whole lives, just Work at the mill […]
Cruel to Be Kind, live. It is time to start drawing. I think that I just threw my voice for the day, doing multiple takes of this. Enjoy and as for me, back to the drawing board! 🙂
the Death of You and Me (high flyin’ birds cover) (lyrics) High tide, summer in the city, The kids are looking pretty, But isn’t it a pity, That the sunshine is followed by a thunder, And thoughts of going under, And is it any wonder Why the sea’s calling out to me I seem to spend my whole life running, From people who would be, The death of you and me, ‘Cause I can feel the storm clouds, Sucking up my soul. […]
Chillout Tent. this song was written by the Hold Steady (lyrics) There was a stage and a PA Up in western Massachusetts And the kids came from miles around To get messed up on the music And she drove down from Baudoin With a carload of girlfriends To meet some boys and Maybe eat some mushrooms And they did and she got sick Now she’s pinned and way too shaky She don’t want to tell the doctor Everything she’ s taken The […]
3rd Time,Lucky!! Just wrote this new quirky song. Enjoy! (lyrics) It’s as if I died and came back to life. It’s as if I died and came back to life. Better than before I lost my mind, Ghost and Phantoms, False Love, Lost Time. As if I died and came back to life. As if I died and came back to life. Over the edge and back again, Trashed and traumatized with no REAL friends. As if I died and came back […]
Cinnamon Girl, live. Neil Young had a temperature of 103 when he wrote this song.
Crazy Lil’ Thing Called Love. Disclaimer: the RAM on my computer made this not the best mix. Ah well! 🙂
It Takes a Lot to Laugh, a Train to Cry.. (lyrics) Well, I ride on a mailtrain, babe Can’t buy a thrill Well, I’ve been up all night Leanin’ on the window sill Well, if I die On top of the hill And if I don’t make it You know my baby will. Don’t the moon look good, mama Shinin’ through the trees ? Don’t the brakeman look good, mama Ragging down the “Double E” ? Don’t the sun look good Goin’ […]
What’s so Funny bout Peace, Love, and Understanding? (live) (lyrics) As I walk through This wicked world Searchin’ for light in the darkness of insanity. I ask myself Is all hope lost? Is there only pain and hatred, and misery? And each time I feel like this inside, There’s one thing I wanna know: What’s so funny ’bout peace love and understanding? What’s so funny ’bout peace love and understanding? And as I walked on Through troubled times My spirit gets so […]
Savin’ Grace. I have done this tune before, it has gotten me through hard times. Now I am doing it for Tom Petty, (get well soon), besides he wrote it anyway. (lyrics) I’m passing sleeping cities Fading by degrees Not believing all I see to be so I’m flyin’ over backyards Country homes and ranches Watching life between the branches below And it’s hard to say Who you are these days But you run on anyway Don’t you baby? You keep running […]
Can’t Buy Me Love . Yeah..um.. I need to become to much coffee man.. This thing is off the rail, too fast and drowsy. Musical equivalent of eating handfuls of Sudafed and chase it with Whisky. In Indiana, that is called “Sending Yourself Sideways.”
