Afterbirth

Posted on April 30, 2012 by admin

LYRICS
The most I’ve ever seen Spring
Look like fall
When birth is death
It can’t be good at all

The perplexing thing
We can’t crawl
Let alone baby steps

As we clone and postpone
Rippin’ our lungs out
With ozone

While we raged
God wept
Our conscious slept
We’re the ones… that should have been caged

Written on April 29, 2012 at Marsh Creek State Park, Chester County, Pennsylvania.

The song was motivated by the color of the landscape. Instead of the trees looking like they were coming to life in the springtime, they appeared to be dying as if it were fall.

The Right Angle

Posted on April 29, 2012April 30, 2012 by admin

LYRICS
Factor this
I am an *a* [A]
You I can see [C]
Between us is be [B]

Phenomena
Of the right angle

This ain’t rocket science
This is social science
Take care in how you engineer
Less you breed a realm of fear

No need to be obtuse
When you’re acute
No need to dish abuse
Be the angel
With wings of vector
Coming together
At the right angle
An erector of valor

Geo-not-just-me geometry

Though are views are parallel
We must bend to meet

Idea

Posted on April 29, 2012April 29, 2012 by admin

LYRICS
Bang! Wow! Pop!
There’s another
And, another
Another

You hear
Idea
You here
Idea

We get together
Think up good thought
Can we get together
Why not?

Help save the world
We’ve helped to kill
Help build a mountain
Out of our mole hill
With a hallelujah refrain
Partaking in the idea guild

Bang! Wow! Pop!
There’s another
And, another
Another

Just off the top
Of my head
Formulate
Let it be said

Not the ordinary
Regurgitate
Investigate
An original idea
An encyclopedia of hope
With a slope
For the good
So we can hope to cope
So we’re apt to adapt
Not a rope
To choke

With a slant
Toward the planet

Dreaming Of Making Love

Posted on April 25, 2012April 25, 2012 by admin

LYRICS
Dreaming of making love
Dreaming of making love all night

Rise and shine. Start the day.
Try n’ listen to what She’ll say
Man-you-factor of love
Great work. Great pay.

Producing throughout the day
Dreaming of making love all night
Dreaming of making love
Dreaming of making love all night

The pinnacle of human height
Dreaming of making love all night
Dreaming of making love
Dreaming of making love all night

Tilling souls with the fertilizer of love
There’s no need for gloves
As an artist creates beauty
Turning love into reality

Dreaming of making love all night
Dreaming of making love
Dreaming of making love all night

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”.

Verge Of Violence

Posted on April 23, 2012April 23, 2012 by admin

LYRICS
You! Yes, you.
You’re on the verge of…
[And, I’m realizing
Your victimizing
Puts all on the verge…
We’re on the fringe of violence

Looks like I’ll have to pass you by (sigh!)

Sirens screaming
Distraction leaning
Toward anarchy
A cryin’ shame
We’re to blame
For not takin’ care of our own
Opportunity blown
We crush the lush
Then, try n’ hush
The harm…
Reason for alarm

ABOUT
Written and recorded in April 2012
The original idea came from feeling hatred from another as I watched them pass by in West Chester, PA. The more intelligent part was inspired from feeling love on the streets of Ambler, PA. The one line about taking care of our own is a protest to a Bruce Springsteen… because, we ain’t done a very good job of taking care of humans, have we?

Gummi Bears Change Position On Global Warming

Posted on April 17, 2012 by Daniel

LYRICS
(Special guest appearance by Toucan the Dog: guard dog growl)

The Gummi Bears are at a loss for words
But, they’d like to convey a message if they may?
They’re picking up swords

As we melt them, a lass,
They’re forming a mass (a giant mass)
Giant Gummi Bear goo
They’ll be rolling over you

Goo from every orifice
Goo from every pore
Gummi Bear all over you face
Gummi Bear, ’till you’re chokin’, “No more!”

I Met A Girl

Posted on April 16, 2012 by admin

LYRICS
I met a girl
(She) wanted a five second song
But, ya see, Jessi…
I’ve already written… there’s another Jessi
And, it’ll take too long
For me to fall for you

I met a girl
Andrea the atheist
She wanted to know my twist on this
“My God’s a lady
and, lately
She’s fed up feeding man”
Who bites the hand…
… of the one that feed ’em?

I met a girl called Lee Ann
And, man…
She changed the scene
With my tambourine
The Spirit shined ever brighter
On the streets of the wrong and righter (writer)

I met a girl
Jenny Roadside on the road’s side
She asked if I’d mind…
Could she play my guitar
When ya bring on the music, dance and sing
Brings mating of souls…
Everlasting

I met a gang of girls
Whose giggles and smiles
Changed the world
Like an army of angels
the moments making life special

Bring The Love Along

Bringing The Love Along (Free .MP3 Music Download)

LYRICS
I’ve been sleeping with Mother Nature
In a state all natural
She keeps asking questions…
… with answers unsure

She wants to know
When I go…
… to sleep with Her for eternity
What I think I can bring

So, I’ve been coming to some realizations
“You can’t take it with you”
I ask, “What about money, jewels and land?”
She says, “Don’t you understand?
That’s the thing…
You can’t take it with you”

Then, she snuggled up and whispered in my ear,
“There is one thing you can take from here.
You can bring the love you create
To make music beyond Heaven’s Gate

The beauty of our new reality
Bring along the love

Bringing the love along for song

LYRICS
Major Tom,
What went wrong?
Did you song
Get eatin’ by the machine?

No need to punish your ma
Do you know what I mean?
Bring out your do ra me fa
Chances are you’ll go far
Come clean from the obscene
Dance with a star
You know?
Shakin’ like tremolo
Moving in stereo
(Life’s the same
It’s inside of you
It’s all about you
It’s within and without)

Life’s the same
If you’re lame
Life will never be the same
Now, I know the game
Been moved by stereo
Welcome — The New Beauty Machine.
Welcome. Now, we’re the machine

The First Amendment Monument

Posted on April 11, 2012 by admin

Writing the First Amendment Song While Sitting on the 1st Amendment

LYRICS
It’s the 1st Amendment
Whether you like it or not
The 1st Amendment
Ya can’t piss in “It” without the pot
[We ain’t even got a pot to piss in. Sing it again!]

Do ya get “it”? This is our permit

As I sit on the rock of the constitution
Watching the evolution of a revolution
Solution? (x5)

Tick-tock on the rock
Of freedom
Universal communication vibration
The #1 celebration

You are free to sing
You are free to dance
Whatever is your thing
To help further existence
The First Amendment
Whether you like it or not
And, I can’t take it back.
No. I won’t take it back!
