Songwriting on the Beach of Atlantic City

LYRICS
I’m talking damage
Damage!
Damn age damage

I’m talking damage you could not believe
I’m talking damage you could not conceive

Sandy getting sandy
Gonna show her wrath
Sandy ain’t so handy
Gotta take her bath

I’m talking damage
Damage!

Blown Away

Posted on August 30, 2013September 4, 2013 by admin

Songwriting Under the Boardwalk in Atlantic City

LYRICS
There’s a wind blowing in
Off of the sea
And, it’s blowing me
Away… hey, hey!

There’s a wind blowing in
Off of the sea
It’s talking to me
Hear it say….

There’s an escape we can take
You know… we can go below…
We can talk
Under the boardwalk

We’ll ascend… blowing up
Down by the sea
Yup, we’re blowing up
And, away… hey!

Where there’s a wind
Blowin’ in
Up against the skin
Listen to the voice within
Hey, hey! Blown away

Change Is Needed

Posted on August 28, 2013September 4, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
Though he probably needs it more than me
He decided to give and be
Though he probably needs it more than me
He decided to give and set us free

Change is needed
Change is needed

Take a look around. You can’t help but see
Starvation and poverty
Take a look around. You can’t help but see
People suffering in misery

Change is needed
Change is needed

Your charity is appreciated
Helping others get liberated
Your charity is appreciated
A helping hand is underrated

Change is needed
Change is needed

LYRICS
Does anybody care that it isn’t fair
Sometimes somebody’s gotta say
It really shouldn’t be this way

The police lying about their crimes
While they are trying to silence mimes
It really shouldn’t be this way

So you want to start over
Do it all over again
Push reset without regret
It really shouldn’t be this way

So, It really shouldn’t be this way
We hoped to never see this day
When people enjoy causing dismay
It really shouldn’t be this way

Emergency Eject

Posted on August 27, 2013September 4, 2013 by admin

Songwriting in the Park, Chester County, Pennsylvania

LYRICS
What did you expect
Emergency eject?

It keeps on coming
You know it keeps on coming

Why do they reject
The real suspect?

It keeps on coming
You know it keeps on coming

Humankind’s neglect
Of the object

It keeps on coming
You know it keeps on coming

If you fall, just call
If you stumble, tumble or fumble the ball
Anything at all

LYRICS
Sometimes all you need is some good notes
When words fail, music sparks
Keep strumming 88

Let’s go
Into the flow

And, a picture tells a thousand words
Making sense of all the absurds

Sometimes all you need are some good notes
Hark! Music spark… let’s sail
Strumming, humming… it’s not too late

Let’s go
Into the flow

HOW TO PLAY THE GUITAR PART

Keep On Going

Posted on August 26, 2013 by admin

You say you want another tie-dye day
Don’t want the feeling to ever go away

I want to keep on going
Sense I’m on the path to knowing

Now I’m working on something to say
Something to move us… change our way

I want to keep on going
Sense I’m on the path to knowing

I believe the day is today
That the false opinion can sway

I want to keep on giving
Sense I’m on the path to loving
I want to keep on going
Sense I’m on the path to knowing

ABOUT THIS SONG
Chords — A A7
G A

While sitting in a field playing the guitar on the last day of the Stir Fry Music Festival, a fellow sitting next to me said, “I want to keep on going.”

The Earthling Song

Songwriting at Everhart Grove, West Chester, PA

LYRICS
Wondering where you are
Do you find it quite bizarre

You’ve been given birth
On Earth

Traveling oh so far
Just to get near this star

Ohhhh… let it shine
Throughout all time
