Putting on a Banana Suit to Fight Cancer

LYRICS
Young Love
Loves to learn
Loves to love

We’re strapping on banana suits
To bring a smile
Making people happy
We’re putting on…
Putting on banana suits
Gonna better this world…
Gonna better this world
Before we get too old

Fundraising To Fight Cancer

Diverting another crisis
That’s been left to us
(Our inheritance)
Lemonade for cancer aid
A Relay For Life
Don’t delay: HELP END STRIFE!

“People are dying”
Children are crying
“Have a great day”
What do you say?

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”.

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

ABOUT THIS SONG
This song is about co-operation making beautiful music. The left side of my body plays the guitar. The right side of my body plays the keyboards. The vocals try to find middle ground that makes the whole greater than the sum of the parts.

LYRICS
Why not just say who you are
Is it really, really that hared?

Yes, once you go back that far
It becomes harder to find the word

A father’s daughter
Becomes the Maiden of St. Peter
Why they called her Dodo I don’t know

It really is that hard to say who you are
A piece from here. A piece from there.
Making up something unique

Is being unique to be a freak?

Why not just say who you are?
Have you ever even given thought
As in what you are not?

Are you really, really that far…?

I whisper to myself these thoughts
And, how it applies to the have’s and the have not’s

ABOUT THE SONG
Capo 1 Am / C add pinky to the 6th string 4th fret

Written on the boulders of Saint Peter’s Village in Pennsylvania. They say the giant boulders were pushed the furthest south by a proceeding glacier during the ice age. If you look through a birds-eye-view, you can see rocks that resemble huge dinosaur pieces.

LYRICS
Travelin’ back
There’s no need for a time machine
Travelin’ back
Rollin’ up the consciousness stream

Upstream
To the top of the hill
A southern breeze dodges the trees
Taking away the water’s chill

Livin’ heaven’s dream

The Season of Passion

Eve takes a bite from Cupid’s apple
The passion fruit blossoms
The wind will enable
And, scatter their sum some
Until the current brings us back
To where we started from

Fourth Base .mp3 (free music download)

Though never a big league ball player, I do enjoy playing the All-American-Past-Time from time-to-time. The one thing that does come to mind is when a youngster is on base… and a bigger fellow hits a home run. You can yell, “Run to first.” You can yell, “Run to second.” You can yell, “Run to third.” However, if you yell, “Run home” you run the risk that the lad will do just that. Thus, the name of the song *Fourth Base*

ADDITIONAL LYRICS
You Might find it funny
But, you’re already home

There ya go strutting down the street
Always in search of your comfort zone
You don’t need to beat an easy feat
You’re never alone if you’re always at home
It’s within your reach… you don’t need to roam
You may find it funny, but you’re already home

No need to reach
No need to roam
Self teach
No moan

You might find it funny, but you’re already home

ABOUT THE SONG
Daniel — vocals, guitar
The song was written and recorded in Ambler and West Chester, Pennsylvania on an 8-track digital recorder. 1 track was used for guitar. 2 tracks were used for a stereo vocal track. 3 tracks were used for individual backing vocals. 2 tracks were used to create a stereo master mix.

The inspiration for the guitar lick and the lyrics came from the vibe of the people passing by.

LYRICS
I look for the meaning
In the meaning
But, I can’t always find it there
Elusive. Eluding…
Though it may be (to me)
So, too, I

So, too, I

I’m really hoping I get the knack
I hope and pray I get the knack
The proper range
The proper attack

Oh , Lord… filling my lack

So, too, I

Maybe what I was worried about is weigh, way bigger than you?
(So, I can let my shy side come through)

I’m really hoping I get the knack

Hey, hey! Wouldn’t ya say

LYRICS
When you hit your finger with a hammer
Hopefully, you feel the pain

Perhaps at first
It sounds a little insane
But, hopefully… you feel the pain

Would you rather the curse of the leper
When you feel nothing at all
Over time
Losing the sense of sense
Only sensing your senses are dull

On the other hand,
When you hit the chord of love
Spreading it with grammar
Hopefully, it’s like from heaven above

I hope you understand
Hopefully, you can feel others pain
Hopefully, you can feel others love
Hopefully, shedding the light we’re capable of

Pusing Up Daisies .mp3 (free music downloads)

I was driving by Ryan Dunn’s final stop… when this song came to me:

Who woulda thunk

I’d find my glory

Pushin’ up day’s ease?

Dandelions and daffodils

The only things footin’ my bills

Jesus, I’m pushing up daisies

The life I drunk

Is my story

While in heaven

The task I’m given

Is pushing up daisies

Nope. I can’t be lazy

Too late to be crazy

So, won’t ya please

Bring me a daisy

I’ll push it up for you

Sprouting life into view

May I bring you a dream scene

You might have thought me dead

Instead… let it be said:

I’m just laying about these trees

Praying for yor’ day’s ease

ABOUT THE SONG
I’m happy to say, I got to know Ryan Dunn. This song came to me through the spirit that remains. Now, that Spring has come to the place where is life came to an end… the burn and scar are healing. And, it’s a funny thing about spring… how life sprouts up. So, while I was attempting to identify with the spirit… a humorous point-of-view came through… about how he lives on and hopes to push up some daisies for us. Ya, know? Have a holiday on him… a Spring Break… a few days ease 🙂

An original song by The Beatless Sense Mongers

Independence Hall, Philadelphia, PA

The concept of freedom
Is hard to grasp
If you’re not free
(And, never have been)
It stands to reason

Hitting home at last
… once through the gate
Pouring from every pore
(For evermore)
You’re free
(Happy to be)
Wealthy in liberty
(Free!)
You’re able to be

Having been a victory virgin
Never before across the finish line
The feeling sinks in
“Freedom is mine!”

I have to tell ya
The taste is sweet
… like no other treat
A desert from the dessert
I’m not talkin’ ’bout democracy
Rather the absence of hypocrisy
From see to smiling see

Happy to be
Free

ABOUT THE SONG
The song was written and recorded on Independence Mall, Philadelphia and West Chester, Pennsylvania. The words came about due to the fact that I was sitting on top of their bones looking for inspiration. Oh, yeah… and, it has to do with The Book Of Daniel “Many of those whose bodies are dead and buried will rise up….” Zombies, dude… for real.
