bookmark_borderThe Hippie Blues

inspired by Mike Garrity, David Hawkins, Eric Laos, Jayar Bass and all the other souls at the party

I’ve seen the strangest things
These past nights
The brightest lights
Happening hues
Giving life clues

I’ve heard the strangest things
These last days
Bands on the banks
Playing the hippie blues
Catching the early rays
With a community born
From love and harmony

They’ve become kin to me
We’re starting to see
What we can do
When we care to share

Everyone sings:
We’re happy to be
In each other’s company
To catch the thrill
Of the soul spill

It’s looking like you’ll help me see
Why they like empathy
At the price of you and me

Exploitation
Is what I want
If it’s an explanation
Exploit me

bookmark_borderIn –The End

The story is true, though the names have been changed to protect the guilty. I wrote to my lawyer, “Radical change happened in my life… but, I’m still a writer… and would appreciate any help with editing that my friends may offer. It’s my plan to explain to you what has happened over the past four years.”

My lawyer responded, “DON’T DO IT. YOU HAVE BEEN FORWARNED!!!!”

In –The End
by Daniel Brouse

There are no words to say
That’ll ever be O.K.
A host of barristers will complain
Try to claim that I’m insane
They’ll say, “Put no words into play.”
That’d be A-ok
Except…
I’ve something to say

After all,
How long will I have the chance to voice my choice
How long can I stand behind my stance
How long before I meet my maker
Then,
Only to be a liar, poser or faker?

The child in me
Gives my mind an eye
And, I…
Am able to see

The child in me
Gives my mind an eye
And, I…
Am able to see
There are no words to say
No music to play
Nothing… that’ll convey…
What you’ve do to me

Let the light shine in
Into your heart
Happiness your mistress
Let the light shine on
Onto your soul
For you can’t outlast your past
In “–The End”
You’re all you were

LYRICS
Feeling pretty giddy
Rather glad to be mad
Feeling pretty giddy
Whirling rapidly in my head
All the things that have been said
Gladly
Giddily

Possessed by a divine being
My very meaning
Seems odd compared to God

Affected with vertigo
Hell’s such a long way to go
Rather fall to heaven
Continue with lighthearted livin’

LYRICS
Ohhhh, thank God we’re not stranded
Weeellll, heellll, yeah… we’ve landed

we tried to plan for it
we prayed we’d live to it… through it
at least, to part where we start
what’s next

now, I’m no longer perplexed
we were never hexed
we just put ourselves into this place
the place?
we tried to replace our race
with space
empty
space

as the light at the end of the tunnel approaches
it to us or us to it
it becomes appreciative

the moment
the mood
the climate
is good

if there’s any doubt that you should
if there’s any reason you could.. n’t
no sense to rage
no sense to rant
that’s all long ago
or don’t we know
who want’s to get caught up in the murk
the light is at hand
if we do not command… the shadows to lurk

to understand is at hand
the light’s right there
we’re ohhhh so close

never again to be rare
a point when everyone knows
when everyone knows

yaaaa, they at least… want to know

now, here we are
it wasn’t that far
we’ve landed at that space in time
where everything that I am
can see the beginning from the end
The End Of Our Times
Is not the End Of The End
It’s just the start of something new
Now, we knew
the message we’ll send
The End

LYRICS
How do you know that you’re even alive?
Open your eyes
Reach for the skies
And, do more than just trying to survive
Let’s get together and socially thrive

How do you know that you’re even alive?

If you open eyes and reach the skies
No telling lies
No hypocrite
That’s how we’ll know we’re alive
We can take the life and dive
Go ahead and give it a try
You can learn to fly
Spread your wings
Take in things
Now, you’re alive

LYRICS
If you’re having one of those days
When you don’t know which way to go
You just don’t know

You know it’s true
You can count on my
We’ll see what we can do

Just give me a call
About anything at all
And, I’d be happy to lend a hand
To help understand
What the hell we’re doing
Why we want to ruin… everything

If you’re having one of those days
When you don’t know which way to go
You just don’t know

Well, I’m still standing
Some find it hard to believe
I’ve got an understanding with the Almighty
And, I fall to my knees
And, I try, try, try to please
I fall to my knees

She says, “Whatcha doing? Get up on your feet.
Get out on the street.
You do me no good when you’re there on the floor.
No, no more.
So, get on your feet.
Get on the street”

She doesn’t care if you’re discrete
She just wants you to shout out the beat

Cause I’m still standing after all I’ve been through
And, I’d be more than happy to help you
I’m still standing
I know it’s true

by Narley Marley

LYRICS
The magnitude of the pure attitude
Is quite refreshing
A pleasant sensation beyond imagination

You’ll pull through a good mood
It’s elevating
From the depths of within you reach in
Bring out the good and fill the hole in with soul food
A feast and party that lifts the spirit
People far and wide can hear it
It rolls like a tide
Flies like a bird
A beautiful sound for all to be heard

Gotta love the magnitude of your attitude
Omnipresent without being rude
No, no privacy violation
Just a lovely sensation
Like an adolescent footloose and fancy free

The magnitude of the pure attitude
Untainted by lust or lies
No weather, just clear skies

The magnitude of the pure attitude
Untainted by lust or lies
No whether, just clear skies

LYRICS
Do you think she really did that on purpose
So, disruptive
So, do you really think she did it on purpose
Self-punitive

Do you know why would she do that on purpose
Inexplicable
So, do you believe she would do it on purpose
Unexplainable

Why would anyone ever do that on purpose
Worthless
So, do you really think she did it on purpose
Pointless

Do you think she really did that on purpose
So, disruptive
So, do you really think she did it on purpose
Self-punitive

Shoot yourself in the foot
Make every point moot

Shoot yourself in the foot
Ripped out by the roots
Making your every point moot
Give it the South Philly salute

Guess I’ll take my marbles and go home
No more of the lame game
Watching you fiddle as you burn Rome
Don’t wanna take part in the shame

LYRICS
It is hard to believe you can live this way
First free, then not me, then free again
When I first was free, sure, it was lovely
And, rather it had stayed that way
But, the way some play their cards
Is not fair, but who am I to declare
Suppose it will stand on it’s own if I am the clown
As for now, I do not mind what is behind
For once again, freedom rings… it sings
It brings justice into the light
We know everything is going to be alright

Love for me to be free
Love for you to do so too
Love for me to be free
Love for you to do so too

Persecution
Prosecution
No resolution
Discrimination
Still have my determination
Determine nation

Restitution
Without prostitution
Of ethics and morals
Have we the ….

To get it up
To stand it up
Look at it from many angels
Call in the angels

Love for me to be free
Love for you to do so too

ABOUT THE SONG
The music and lyrics are performed in a freestyle fashion. The extemporaneous words help exhibit what the song is about. Imagine if I had a dream… and the dream was about helping to make your dream come true… and your dream was about helping someone else’s dream come true… and so on… until it came full circle back to someone wanting to help make my dream come true. What else would a dreamer dream about?

LYRICS
Everything you’ve imagined will be there
No, no matter
No matter what I might of thought
No matter what we may have thought
This is what we’ve wrought
And, now it’s possible
It’s possible for all your dreams to come true
Like it or not
Yes, everything you’ve imagined that was good
Everything you’ve imagined
All your dreams can come true
Your dreams can come true

If all the beings had all the dreams
And, they brought them together in a beautiful fashion
Just image the dreams of the dreams
And, they compounded
You add them up
And, multiply

The smallest child
They can dream
Enlist the dreams of the dreamers
And, we build upon the dream
Build upon a dream
All our dreams can come true

We multiply the I
Let’s dream a dream together
If we really want to
We can make the dream come true

LYRICS
There’s beauty there
Though it might look
Like it’s ugly
If you stand back
Take it all in
Then you’ll begin
To see
The light shine on
Shine on everything
Oh, oh, everywhere
There’s beauty there

The way she walks
Is very smooth
The way she talks
It really soothes
When she looks me
Right in the eye
I easily see
All the beauty

Beautiful blues
Color of her eyes
She really moves
Beautiful blues

Oh, so sorry
I don’t mean ta’stare
Oh, oh, Lordy,
Your mighty fair

Attractively feminine
Feast for my famine
Let my eyes take you in
Again and again and a….

You’re a tasty fare

by Listening Deficit

LYRICS
Who is that knocking at my door?
Who is there?
There’s something special in the air.

This is the part I’ve been waiting for
Just don’t know if I can wait any more
It’s been a long, long time coming
Now, peace is at my door
It’s been a long time. That’s for sure.

Raise our arms to the sky
Let out the cry… of peace
Peace, the decree we cry out
As we open the door
Peace, that’s you. There’s no doubt.

“Peace, I’m damn glad you’re home”
When I’m with peace, I’m never alone
“Peace, I’m damn glad you’re home”
A long lost friend I’ve forever known

bookmark_borderMay All Your Dreams Come True Music Video

The music video was inspired by three quotes. One from Stairway To Heaven, another from The Book Of Daniel and this one:

“Last night I had a dream,
a most amazing dream.
I was hunting zombies.
It was my favorite dream ever!”

May All Your Dreams Come True Video [.mpg]

LYRICS by Daniel
I’d better be careful
Of what I wish for
Or all my dreams
Might come true
Oh, no. My wish is this prophecy
No one’s eyes would ever see

You’d better be careful
Of what you wish for
Or your every nightmare
Might just be there

Thank God
That fate it’s never too late
To change the path we’re on

When we reach the fork in the road
Let’s unload
And, stay to the right
When we get to the right… let’s explode

So, as we wind on down the road
Our souls grow taller than our shadows
And, there’s a truth that we all know
That the weak and meek shall overthrow
All that the power thought they owned
When first is last… so the order goes
