Daniel Brouse writes music on the beach of the Atlantic City Shore

How long have the waves
Pounded the sand
How long has man
Pounding the sands of time
Without reason
And, little rhyme
Pounded the sands of time
As the tide is wide
The Times subside
Pounded by human

bookmark_borderRoadtest For A Protest

Over the last couple days I have been investigating protests including Occupy Wall Street. While playing a music festival in Atlantic City, I came across a protest against Resorts Casino. Sorry to say, both of these protests wrongly attack businesses. In the case of Resorts, the original company could no longer afford to stay open and sold the assets. The new Resorts did not need to keep employing union workers, but they did. Now, these workers are mistakenly protesting against the old Resorts in front of the new Resorts.

The Oldest Protester
The oldest protester on the boardwalk in front of Resorts Casino

C C7 Dm

Roadtest
For a protest
Unite fear
Unite here
Thwart support
Their last Resort
Walk the boardwalk
Rock the boardroom
Viva La Beg Us
CastAssIno
Gamble with tomorrow
Hedge the risk ensuring bliss
Showgirls show girls
No contract. No peace.
No contact. No piece.

Dear Dear,

Looks like you had a head-on collision
With Venus
A love explosion
You’re genius
Positron and electron collision
At the nucleus
Delicious

Won’t let you be thrown
Under the us
No tragedy
The irony
Of smiling all the while
A love style

Stylistic magic

Loveningly,
Fantastic

The Thinker Museum
Outside the Rodin Museum

written and recorded while sitting under The Thinker statue at the Rodin Museum in Philadelphia, PA

Now, can you tell me
What you think of that?
Spoiled child… raised a brat
No offspring should ever see
Such a bastard… filthy rat
Glad to see my child will be
Free from ignorance
No need for pity
Free from arrogance
What do you think of that
The thought of ought
And, then to act

Tell me, Rodin, what do you think of that?
Natural beauty

Capo 6

The end of the tunnel
Freeing soul and mental
Letting light shine on us

Black clouds rollin’ in
There’s an evil wind a blowin’

Why spoil the soul

It’ll take it’s toll
Anti-fun never won
Prove the fool your roll

If you think you’re stuck
Between a rock and a hard place
Retrace
The steps of your future
To see how you make it out

It’s far-out
How you can see
What steps to take
There’s no doubt
You can get free
Make what you make
Of it
All depends
What we make
Of it
All depends
What we make
Of it

Create the flow… go!

Capo 3
A string play D
Add pinky high A

Spewing goo
Hatred anew
Is that what I want to do?

Don’t become that
Which I despise
Less sober
More Wise
Don’t become that
Which I despise

I try to realize
When it’s all over
… rather remain
Love and the same

Outside the Cage of the Nasty Old Man
aka Cigar Butt

Capo 2
F#
Hold low E string with ringfinger… move index finger over B, G and D strings.

Nasty old man
Smoking on his butt
Hard to tell
If he’s straight from hell
Well,
Not that harde
No, not that hard at all
No knows
Cugino’s
Butts from around the world

“Get on out, Boy!
Fuck your cigar.
Get on out, Boy!
Fuck your guitar”

Nasty old man
Picking his nose
While he knows
Nothing of heart
A nasty old man
No one can stand
Just lives to hurt

Turn to ashes
Turn to dirt

Em

You’re way to wacky
Not to survive
You’re the one always trying…
You always strive to survive
Stay alive
Way outside the norm
You’ll weather their storm

Let them say what they want to say about you
You’re the one whose heart is true
You have equal rights
Not to be equal
Equality doesn’t mean neutral
