LYRICS
In these days, we’re all chasing rays (we’re all chasing rays)
In the fray of the day, we’re chasing rays

Searching high and low
Where did the day light go

There should have daylight savings
But, we kept shaving and shaving and shaving
Until there was barely splintered sunlight left

It’s not alright when there’s nothing left

It there’s a shadow in the way
There’s a way to flesh out a ray
What do you say
Let’s step out into the light
Alight? Alright!

In these days, we’re all chasing rays (we’re all chasing rays)
In the fray of the day, we’re chasing rays

ABOUT THE SONG
A / D / A
Bm7 / G / E

Written and recorded on November 9, 2012 in Chester County, PA. It was the first sunny day and warm enough to play guitar outside in a long time. It was also the first nice day since the start of daylight savings. So… I wanted to catch the last rays as the sun started to set. Lack of sunlight tends do cause depression; therefore, I suggest you try catching rays.

LYRICS
You better run n’ get your daughter
You better run n’ get your son
You better run n’ get your mother
Before darkness follows the setting sun

’cause the End Of Times is looming near
The wretched are dooming in fear

You better run n’ get your daughter
You better run n’ get your son
You better run n’ get your mother
Before darkness follows the setting sun

There’s a bend in time we’re zooming clear
The righteous are bounding. How queer?

You better run n’ get your daughter
You better run n’ get your son
You better run n’ get your mother
Before darkness follows the setting sun

The Start Of Times is looming near
Leaving hate far behind… in the rear

Hurricane Sandy — Tree Fell on Electric Lines in Montgomery County, PA

LYRICS
Did that tree just try to kill me?

Many dead… mostly from trees.

Geeze.. giving them diseasecreatin a deadly breeze.

Using limb to clobber him from limb to limb
Crushing homes and transportation
Because of our past deviation violation

The fall of the trees
Due to the human disease
The revenge of the woods
Due to too many would-of’s, could-of’s and shoulds
Due to too many wood-of shoulds

bookmark_borderOver And Over

You know it must be going over and over in her head

If she ever comes to realize… what she did
Then, you know it’s gotta be going over and over and over
In her head

Must be hard to live with yourself
Over and over in head… over and over and over again
As long as you’re living a life of sin

Over and over again
When you’re livin’ a life of sin… livin’ a life of sin… livin’ a life of sin

It was so out-of-this-world
That it couldn’t have bee real
I mean… what’s your deal

Over and over and over and over again
Gotta re-live that sin
Until you was it clean
Until you’re void of mean

Over and over and over and over and over and over again
Over and over in your head
For all eternity… long after you’re dead
Do you at least regret what you said?

Until you do you do
Likely, be living it over and over and over again
Gotta rid that sin

Must be hard to live with yourself
Over and over in head… over and over and over again
As long as you’re living a life of sin

ABOUT THE SONG

LYRICS

Neptune
There is no inept tune
Hum some. Whistle some.
Hum. Whistle.
Shoot a sonic missile

Underneath the mistletoe
where it’s right to love all
Soar above the noise and confusion
’till you surpass the Grand Illusion

The blessed from Atlantis
the bliss that is
Under the sea

The blessed from Atlantis
the bliss that is
Ability
See! See?

Neptune from the Atlantis abyss
Floats above and saves us

ABOUT THE SONG
How can a songwriter go about writing a Christmas song without coming off as bogus? Sincerity is a crucial element. After all, why write a Christmas song? What is the purpose?

If the purpose is to spread the message, even if it is only touches one other person, it would appear to be a valid song. In fact, why not write it for Jesus to sing?

This song embodies these concepts. In addition, it was written because “I wanted to hear a different Christmas song.” I wanted a new song that I could listen to over and over again without getting sick of hearing it. Since I could not find an existing song, I had to write a new one. Though I don’t consider myself a gifted or talented, I can scribe inspiration that comes from above.
