Vibrations reach my ear
With what I hear

Dark blue

Ripple till yellow
The hue

ABOUT THE SONG
“Synesthesia is a neurological condition in which stimulation of one sensory or cognitive pathway (for example, hearing) leads to automatic, involuntary experiences in a second sensory or cognitive pathway (such as vision). Simply put, when one sense is activated, another unrelated sense is activated at the same time.” In the case of some musicians, we see sound as colors.

bookmark_borderOld Age Rhyme

LYRICS
There goes another hack
Better take another whack
It’s just a matter of fact
Time keeps ticking on
Playing your swan song
You are the metronome
Take it on home

Not just an old age rhyme
One can not outrun time
Slip into the sublime
Time keeps ticking on
Playing your swan song
You are the metronome
Take it on home

There’s nothing that we lack
Rather, what we give back
It’s just a matter of fact
Time keeps ticking on
Playing your swan song
You are the metronome
Take it on home

bookmark_borderWrote it in the Book of Love

LYRICS
Scratch my back a little bit?
Hey, I’m getting use to it
Hope to make it habit
And, write it in the book of love

On my knees, I must confess
I will make you breakfast
Swear it won’t be our last
And, I’ll write it in the book of love

To see you is a work of art
To know you I do take to heart
At first sight, right from the start
And, I wrote it in the book of love
Wrote it in the book of love

bookmark_borderThat’s A Sin

LYRICS
Once upon a time
There was a human
Homosapiens
Takin’ Earth for a spin
Over time their grime
Bit their ass… again
Homosapiens
Did the Earth right in

Now, that’s a sin
Done themselves in
Bend…
Till it broke
Mistook
Bend
Break
Mistake
THE END.

LYRICS
As long as the sky is above
And ground is below
I know
There’ll be love

As soon as it fits like a glove
And emotions flow
I know
It is love

When Reaper says, “Push comes to shove”
“Do you want to go?”
Hell, no!
Stay with love

LYRICS
Is it any wonder
That clap of thunder
Got my attention
Almost was a goner
’cause where there’s thunder
Electricity
When touched by me
Electrocution

Readjust your volt age voltage
Do you have a gauge?
All the world is a stage…
… been lit up

LYRICS
Oh my mind’s about to blow
Thinking back to long ago
There I go
Yes, there I go
(Wissshhh)
I’m…
Traveling back in time
Childhood days
Came out of a haze
There I am standing next to you
Do you remember…
Do you remember, too?
After school and in the pool
Swimming fast into the past
Oh my mind’s about to blow
Thinking back to long ago
There I go
Yes, there I go
(Wissshhh)
I’m…
Traveling back in time

Swimming Fast Into the Past

bookmark_borderSmile

LYRICS
Broad as in wide
A smile… just can’t hide
Begin… as but a grin
And, then again
Much to my chagrin
Grin spins into a mile

Height is just right
Glimmer… your eyes light
Shinin’… shinin’ right on
The light of dawn
Shinin’ through the night
Your eyes light
Our smile
… a mile long smile

Are my feet moving faster
Walked so fast
Walked right past her

Moving faster

Pounds so fast
A loving disaster
Is my hear
Racing faster

LYRICS
In a race beyond space
Way past the speed of sound
Problem with going round
End up in the same place
A year, one year, a year, annual
Shift clear, still clear, shift gear, a manual

Look at how far we’ve come
Look at how fare we are
Whirling about our star
Another run ’round the sun
A year, one year, a year, annual
Shift clear, still clear, shift gear, a manual

LYRICS
Your attitude of gratitude
Is really starting to break through
Your attitude of gratitude
Is altering… my point-of-view
I’d like to thank you
For your thank you
It’s the very least

The gratitude in attitude
Like nothing I ever knew
The gratitude in attitude
Reigns a rainbow’s hue
I’d like to thank you
For your thank you
It’s the very least
I could do

LYRICS
You scolded me with scorn
’cause you say that you were born
Attention deficient
Can we come to terms
To constantly affirm

Giving love’s getting love
Efficient
