LYRICS
If you have a care for me
I will have a care for you
Together we can see it through
Weather it through any sea

I must have a care for you
It’s the very least to do
Thank you for helping me to see

Ate compassionate for breakfast
Gotta hunch I’ll have it for lunch
Can you stop by before the supper that’s last?

Feel deep before we’re past

Dive deep into your heart
And, part the see

If You Give A Care.mp3

ABOUT THE SONG
C / F / E

Written and recorded August 25, 2012 in West Chester, Pennsylvania.

It’s about love reciprocity. The album name “Natural Producer” has to do with the engineering and production of the music. Since the music is hoped to be *God Inspired*, names like deity, spirit, divinity, supernatural being and idol producer came to mind; however, that sounded too vain. So, what am I compared to the Supernatural Being Producer?

LYRICS
Livin’ with material junk
Your life’s too short
To try to hoard
Livin’ with material junk

Kinda like being struck by a skunk
With the scene of the scent you accumulate

Debunk your junk
Lighten your load
Debunk your junk
Let your spirit explode

LYRICS
They set out for 3 hours
Sort-of short for seaborne tours
They set out for 3 hours
Ended up with a lifetime of horrors
Such is the fate (of Gilligan)
Such is the fate (of Mary Ann)

If I’m stranded on an island with you
Don’t know what I’d do
I’d leave that part up to you
Maybe distill a ‘lil gin
Then
Let the dancing begin
All the while playing our hearts away
Making beautiful music all night and day

Youth be gold. We’d never grow old.
Just for fun
Maybe distill a ‘lil rum
Maintaining a dance continuum

You’re as old as you feel
And, I am
Unconceal the real deal
Live life while you can

Naked. Swinging from trees.
Begging God we please

See Sure (Deserted Desert Island Sea Shanty) .mp3

As sure as our lives are long
We’ve got to… got to get along
In numbers is our strength
Let’s get strong

There is right and wrong
Don’t let “Done Me Wrong” by your only song
Give flight to the might of right
And, it won’t be long
Let’s get strong

ABOUT THIS SONG
Capo 2
C / Am / Em
Em / G

Written and recorded on August 1, 2012 in West Chester, Pennsylvania.

Daniel — Guitar, Vocals

The song has to do with my ancestors, King Duncan of Scotland and the Armstrongs. One side of my family is related to King Duncan. He was murdered. The other side of my family cut down trees making it look like the forest was storming the castle in revenge of the murder (as described in Shakespeare’s Macbeth: Act V. Scene III.) The clan was named Armstrong and given a coat-of-arms symbolizing the event.

LYRICS
Where do the good people go… do you know?
If the good life they’ve been livin’
Is full with the goodness of givin’
(Even with the occasional sinnin’)
Ya get into heaven
Pass the pearly gates
I can hardly wait

Where do the bad people go… do you know?
If after all the chances
You choose your dances
By selling your soul to the devil
Well… ya go straight to….

While you’re still quick
Don’t take too long
And, be judged as dead

A toast to the Mother, Sun and Holy Ghost

Of life make the most

Who do you think you are
Trying to pound your fist
Reaching so far

What do you think you are
Bleeding from your ears
Dishing out fears

Demanding it’s your list
Screaming out jeers
Washing out bliss

Who wants your mess?

If you try to diminish us
You will count less
If you try to vanquish us
Us you will release
So please

Taking the all in
The best that I can
Taking the all in
The best that you can

Taking the all in
No need of a place to begin
More like a sponge… near infinite points on the fringe

Taking the all in
No need of a place to end
More like a circle or cycle
Your future’s right ’round the bend

Taking the all in
The best that I can
Taking you all in
That best that we can

LYRICS
There’s a line to your body
We could start with your neck
It feels fine going down your spine
The touch of a feather ever so lightly
Wondering what to expect

Where does the line go?
Follow the flow

Drifting past the small of your back

Where does the line go?
Follow the flow

Maybe we should start with your lips
At the ends, curving up so slightly
To unseal the kiss of a smile
Up past your ear, then veer toward the rear

Where does the line go?
Follow the flow

Who knows… if we start with your nose
Over the ledge of the chin’s edge
Through the passage of the cleavage
And, after all, drifting pass the navel

You’re drawing a fine line
I want to know
Where does it go
Where does it flow

Outrageous. Gorgeous. But, not dangerous.

No need to be afraid. You can approach.
Reach out. No need to fear you’ll encroach.

Put your ear to the atmosphere
And, hear what you will see
Put your eye to your mind
Hear what is meant by one-of-a-kind

Outrageous. Gorgeous.

LYRICS
Where would we be without the hives and the trees?
Where would we be without the birds and the bees?
What would you do without the innocence of children?
What would you do without the memory of been?

Do you think you’d miss a cool rain’s kiss?
Would you be remiss… speechless?

ABOUT THE SONG
Capo 5
A (less C#, add A, add F#)
A / D

Written and recorded on July 24, 2012 at Marsh Creek State Park, Chester County, Pennsylvania. For quite sometime, I have been conducting a study on deforestation of the Earth. While writing the song, I noticed the sun shining through the leaves of the tree… like is was winter time; however, it is summer. Then, a couple of small children walked up to me and said, “Thank you guitar man.” What would the world be like without trees? What would the world be like without the innocence of children?

’cause there is something about you

’cause there is something about you

The sparkle. The Twinkle. The glimmer in your eye
The uplift of your riff. The glimmer of your I.

’cause there is something about you
that makes me everything
’cause there is something about you
that makes me risk a chance

The sparkle. The Twinkle. The glimmer in your eye
The gift of your lift. The answer to my why.

LYRICS
Are you afraid to open your door
See people hurting like never before
Are you afraid to answer the phone
Hear the moan become a constant drone

Are you afraid to show your face
Tired of being made a public disgrace
Are you afraid to communicate
The wrong way on a one-way
Bombarded with hate, hate, thate

Then, please don’t hesitate
To call on God. Let Her mediate.

The place is here. The time is now.
Believe She’ll hear… She does somehow

God’s good grace. The mercy upon you.
Redeem your scene to heavenly… see!

Why not fear not?

Here’s the thing about string
In the theory of string
You ought not push
Less knot you furnish

Appear a gluttony lush

ABOUT THE SONG
Capo 5
fingered
Am
Am (less C / add D / add G)
Em
Em (add D / add G)

The meaning of the song has to do with the Complete Theory of the Universe. Some consider String Theory to be the complete theory of the universe. A simplistic view would be to imagine everything as a string. What happens when you try to push a string? A more complex way to look at is through a vibration. Can you imagine everything as a vibration? What kind of vibration will you be?

String Theory states that strings propagate through space and time.

“These oscillations exist in discrete vibrational modes, the spectrum of the theory.”

“An analogy for strings’ modes of vibration is a guitar string’s production of multiple but distinct musical notes. In the analogy, different notes correspond to different particles. One difference is the guitar string exists in 3 dimensions, so that there are only two dimensions transverse to the string. Fundamental strings exist in 9 dimensions and the strings can vibrate in any direction, meaning that the spectrum of vibrational modes is much richer.”
