family – ExperiMental Music

This song was inspired by the all those who have immigrated to the USA… those that have passed through Ellis Island… and… anyone who has been forced to an island before becoming a citizen. A similar tragedy is happening right now in Australia at Christmas Island. Hmmmm… Christmas Island… an ironic name of a place to send misfit refugees?

A song about the thrill of watching humans run in their self-created rat race.

LYRICS
Umh? Yeah! Umh? Yeah!
It’s a celebration
A commemoration
Of comradaration
Ugh huh!

Philly Folk Fest
Destination
Like no other
Memories etched
Not just the jest
It’s the love that5’s best
A community
Camaraderie
Pleasantry

The only way to recognize our uniform
It’s torn
From the battles
We’ve won

Comradaration
Celebration
Fascination
With elevation
Of imagination
A new suggestion
Comradaration

Sensation
Elevation
Beautification
Spiritualization

Writing the Guitar for *In A Fog* at Ocean City, NJ

LYRICS
What? Are you living in a fog?
The children’s eyes pop through the mist
Try to start living with your head out of the clouds

Your vision — unclog
No opportunity missed
Its’ time to start screaming THE TRUTH loud out loud

Writing the Lyrics for *In A Fog* at Ocean City, NJ

ABOUT THIS SONG
Capo 2
E / A / G

Written and recorded on July 6, 2012 in Ocean City, New Jersey. It was the eighth day of heat wave… even the beach was brutal. Then, at about 5PM, this strange fog started rolling in. As I was writing the music, I could see the eyes of children popping out of the mist. It made me think how great it is that kids don’t live in a fog… with their heads in the clouds.

Where Goes Your Nightmare

Posted on June 15, 2012 by admin

LYRICS
Perhaps when you block-out ugly
You inhibit your ability to see?
A fault by default
Clearly on your part

Perhaps when you block-out ugly
You inhibit your ability to see?
If you think you can’t take it
It’s time to make it
Real

Where goes your nightmare
Where goes thee
Lost sole. Blank stare
Where goes your nightmare?
Do you wanna be?
Where goes your nightmare?
Dare go there

Edge Of The World

Dancing on a Lifeguard Stand in Ocean City, NJ

LYRICS
Why go to where the gray turns black
A place where there is no turning back
Move it on up ’cause the tide’s coming in
A whole new cycle getting ready to begin

The pages blowing in the wind
No time for Man to unwind
Rather make a pact to adapt
Wind-up. Then, we’re apt
To buoy a beginning
Of a brand new happening

Where the hydrogen and oxygen separate
The sea meets the sky
Where the clouds part you can start
To see the light
And, you just might
Put up a fight
For it’s the struggle to survive
That keeps us alive

Correction

Posted on June 15, 2012 by admin

LYRICS
Where the sky parts from the see
The ocean waves goodbye
There’s a sigh in the air
A sigh in the error

Why not choose what’s best for humanity
Instead of just for you or me
Overthrow the overlords
Of disparity

With the vision of the Viking
No one is best suited to be king
With the vision of Charlemagne
Try to alleviate suffering and pain

No need to cross an expansive sea
To contemplate the fate of society
No need for flight from the storm
No need for blight, nor for harm

The ability to sense when fear is near
Allowing you to steer clear of danger
The ability to sense when fair is near
Allowing you to see clearer and stronger

Don’t Be So Crabby

Posted on June 14, 2012June 14, 2012 by admin

LYRICS
It’s tough… it’s so tough moving up
The food chain
At the very least, you just might get eaten
By a slightly larger beast

It’s tough… it’s so tough moving up
The food chain
Revolution of evolution
(Wonder) who will remain?

It’s tough… it’s so tough moving up
The food chain

Classical Acoustic Guitar in Ocean City, NJ — Classical Acoustic Guitar in Ocean City, New Jersey

The gull of the gull to take a stab at the crab
Then to lull the gull
A beast’s heavenly feast

No need to be so crabby
Your life ain’t that shabby
Appreciate your fate
Before you’re known as (the) Late

LYRICS
You were such a sweet baby
No question. Not a maybe.
Now, you’ve grown inot a lady

Moments turn to memories
A day to a year
Don’t let time
Separate near

You’re here
It’s the time of your life
You’re here
There is no grief
Suspend disbelief

The De-bitch Sand Which

Posted on June 11, 2012June 14, 2012 by admin

LYRICS
There’s no sense complaining (no sense complaining)
About the shape I’m in (the shape I’m in)
As long as, I am bone and skin
It takes no explaining
There’s no denying dieing
Might as well take it all in

See the sea
Hear the here
Be the me
Without fear

There’s no sense complaining (no sense complaining)
About the shape I’m in (the shape I’m in)
As long as, I am bone and skin
It takes no explaining
There’s no denying dieing
Might as well take it all in

Scent of sea breeze
Touch a memory
Forecast a dream
Spirit team

Take a bite
Out of the de-bitch sand which
Will cure your spite
Despite of
Take a bite out of the de=bitch sand which
Stuffed with love

Just Is (Of Peace)

Posted on January 15, 2011 by admin

by Daniel Brouse
Inspired by Insanity Humanity (Ain’t That the Truth!)
and the Rev. LeRoy Montana

A pound of bricks
A pound of feathers
Those in the throws of sticks
And, stones
Thrown from their thrones

Flesh and bones?
Nothing weathers
That matters

Is it fine
In this time
When, “What is that?”
Is that what is
Makes you wonder
How the others live

Perhaps, not that far away
A day
When what is just
Just is

More than chance
That justice
Someday will sway
The balance

PART II

When, “What is that?”
Is that what is
Makes you wonder
How the others live

When what is just
Just is

Justice
Someday will sway
The balance

How will I weigh?

A pound of bricks
A pound of feathers
Those in the throws of sticks
And, stones
The one that weathers
Thrown from their thrones
The one that matters
Is not me

Without we
I just am
Without you
Too
Two alones

A family
Better we’d be
Better by far
We already are
Together we way
Together we weigh
Together we may
Without fail
The Scale
Just is
Justice
