Why Not.mp3

LYRICS
As you go about your busy day
As you scurry along your way
As you fret over the bills to pay
Don’t forget to take the time and say

Hey! Hey! Why not
Pick up the pieces they forgot
Hey! Hey! Why not
Pick up the people they forgot

Hey you, the puzzle’s complete
Everyone on the planet can eat

Chorus

You too can do a humane feat
And have heaven as a treat

Chorus

LYRICS
Though he probably needs it more than me
He decided to give and be
Though he probably needs it more than me
He decided to give and set us free

Change is needed
Change is needed

Take a look around. You can’t help but see
Starvation and poverty
Take a look around. You can’t help but see
People suffering in misery

Change is needed
Change is needed

Your charity is appreciated
Helping others get liberated
Your charity is appreciated
A helping hand is underrated

LYRICS
Chorus
Today it rained then it poured
Today it reigned then it poored
It poured and poored some more

Well, if you’re riding the gravy train
And, you start to realize the gravy’s lumpy
Ya might just drive yourself insane
If ya don’t fertilize for the hungry

Chorus

Well, if you’re living and living without givin’
And, you start to appreciate “this is heaven!”
You might add spirit to your brain
Who knows? Ya might get to live again

LYRICS
Just hit the panic button
That’s all you need do
Just hit the panic button
For an aid parade to you

You tune into the news
Things you’re seeing
Giving you the blues
Lightning! Fire!
Armageddon desire?
You tune into the news
The things that’re being
Making us lose
Frightening! Liar!
The Evil Empire

This song was inspired by an Eyewitness News Channel 3 Philadelphia crew filming in West Chester, PA.  And, since I invented the panic button for the world wide web, it seemed like an entertaining idea.

LYRICS
So, this is class warfare
I was totally unaware

People sleeping in the streets
You call this natural?
People sleeping in old crates
You say this is normal

Children dieing of starvation
You call this natural?
Part of society in deprivation
… business as usual

So, this is class warfare
I was totally unaware

LYRICS
Never been in this place before
So close to the edge
The outcome… unsure
Never been in this space before
So close to the judge
The vision a blur

What the hell are we doing
Pollution
Suing
De-evolution pursuing
Solution avoidance
Despite evidence
Wipe-out existence

The minds that shine will shine, shine, shine
But
Never been to this place
To history trace
The accumulation of the humanization blunders
Then… as one… wonders
What the hell are we doing
Pollution
Suing
De-evolution pursuing
Solution avoidance
Despite evidence
Wipe-out existence

Please… don’t wipe-out existence

ABOUT THIS SONG
Wow! There’s a lot about this song. I won’t say it all… leaving some to your imagination.

Chords
A / D / A / G / A
A / Em
Capo 2
A / D / A / G / A
A / Em
A / G / A / D / A

Though it was unintended, the music ended up being inspired by the Kinks’ David Watts. The idea is kind-of like David Watts, too… I wish I could be like David Watts. I wish I could be smart enough… to get through to the people… that don’t care about other people. What the hell are we doing?
.
Written and recorded on October 1, 2012 at Marsh Creek State Park and other locations in Chester County, Pennsylvania… on an 8-track digital recorder. 2 tracks as stereo guitar (first with no effects, then effects followed by Capo 2 with effects). 2 tracks as stereo vocals. 1 backing vocal with a bullhorn effect. 1 backing vocal with Darth Vader effect. The six tracks were mixed down onto the remaining 2 tracks.

ABOUT THE SONG
This song was written and recorded in West Chester, Pennsylvania on April 21, 2012. It was inspired by a group of girls fundraising for the American Cancer Society. The true love expressed by youth gives hope. While I was working on the music and lyrics, I sat on a bench next to the youth. The above lyrics that are in quotes were taken from their conversations; however, I was still at a loss for a title. Then, I heard a voice say, “young love”.

Am I alert,
To all that is?
Am I aware,
Of what exists?

Subsonic,
Supersonic,
Frequencies,
Infrared,
X-ray,
Why the sky is blue,
All day?

Am I alert,
To all that is?
Am I aware,
Of what exists?

Subterranean,
Angels refrain,
Frequencies,
Of inadequacies,
Infrared,
X-ray,
What happens,
When I pray?

Ring, ring, ring,
“God is calling,
On line # 1.”

“Is it hard to put your finger on,
Everything under the sun?

Or, do you wish you were god?
I hear the jobs pretty hard.

At any rate,
I’ll try to appreciate,
The fate I create.

Ring, ring, ring,
“Calling god,
On line #1.”

Won’t miss you,
If I’m with you.
Sincerely,
Me

Ring, ring, ring,
“Calling god,
On line #1.”

Can’t miss you,
When I’m with you.
Love,
Your wayward son

From the album New Found Sound

Take a word,
And, paint a musical landscape,
Atmosphere as canvas,
So, the world can hear,
All of us.

d, ditty, ditty, d,
dum, ditty, ditty, dum,
Or, just hum,
A meledy,
So, the world can see,
The sound in thee.

Supersonic hero in cape,
Flying through space,
Your mouth,
To my ear,
Like baby’s breath,
Coming in clear.

la, lordy, lordy, la,
music can heal ya,
la, lordy, lordy, la,
music can save ya.

Sound wave, yeah!
