LYRICS
You! Yes, you.
You’re on the verge of…
[And, I’m realizing
Your victimizing
Puts all on the verge…
We’re on the fringe of violence

Looks like I’ll have to pass you by (sigh!)

Sirens screaming
Distraction leaning
Toward anarchy
A cryin’ shame
We’re to blame
For not takin’ care of our own
Opportunity blown
We crush the lush
Then, try n’ hush
The harm…
Reason for alarm

ABOUT
Written and recorded in April 2012
The original idea came from feeling hatred from another as I watched them pass by in West Chester, PA. The more intelligent part was inspired from feeling love on the streets of Ambler, PA. The one line about taking care of our own is a protest to a Bruce Springsteen… because, we ain’t done a very good job of taking care of humans, have we?

LYRICS
I met a girl
(She) wanted a five second song
But, ya see, Jessi…
I’ve already written… there’s another Jessi
And, it’ll take too long
For me to fall for you

I met a girl
Andrea the atheist
She wanted to know my twist on this
“My God’s a lady
and, lately
She’s fed up feeding man”
Who bites the hand…
… of the one that feed ’em?

I met a girl called Lee Ann
And, man…
She changed the scene
With my tambourine
The Spirit shined ever brighter
On the streets of the wrong and righter (writer)

I met a girl
Jenny Roadside on the road’s side
She asked if I’d mind…
Could she play my guitar
When ya bring on the music, dance and sing
Brings mating of souls…
Everlasting

I met a gang of girls
Whose giggles and smiles
Changed the world
Like an army of angels
the moments making life special

Bringing The Love Along (Free .MP3 Music Download)

LYRICS
I’ve been sleeping with Mother Nature
In a state all natural
She keeps asking questions…
… with answers unsure

She wants to know
When I go…
… to sleep with Her for eternity
What I think I can bring

So, I’ve been coming to some realizations
“You can’t take it with you”
I ask, “What about money, jewels and land?”
She says, “Don’t you understand?
That’s the thing…
You can’t take it with you”

Then, she snuggled up and whispered in my ear,
“There is one thing you can take from here.
You can bring the love you create
To make music beyond Heaven’s Gate

The beauty of our new reality
Bring along the love

Bringing the love along for song

HOW TO PLAY
Em add A
Then lift each finger one at a time

bookmark_borderAudience Appreciation Index

It has been quite some time since I’ve posted about the Tunesmith Adventures. That doesn’t mean I haven’t been thoroughly enjoying the audiences. I have been. Though I would like to film more of the adventures, live subjects can be tricky.

Anyway, the audiences have been great. One of my favorite times was in the Spring of 2011. I was sitting at the corner of Ridge and Butler in Ambler, Pennsylvania. A school bus with tinted windows stopped at the light in front of me. I thought the bus was empty and just kept playing my heart away. All of a sudden, a bunch of the windows opened and all these kids started screaming and clapping. Wow! What a thrill.

Nick Does a Flip While I Play Jigging Music

Speaking of thrills, there seems to be an outbreak of people inspired to do *human tricks* whenever I start playing my jigging music. The Spring of 2012 has brought many a thrill seeker. Several interesting characters have co-operated in West Chester, Pennsylvania to bring great entertainment to the people. There is a guy that likes to do bike tricks over my head… and another fellow, Nick, who likes to do flips and jumps off the adjacent wall… sometimes it will just be a group of children ranging in ages from 2 to 92 that breakout into a spontaneous dance troupe. You all are more fun than Vaudeville, a sideshow, and a 3-ring circus all rolled into one.

I thank each and every one of you. From those who come up because they feel compelled to offer me money, to those who roll down their windows shouting out with a wave and a smile — THANK YOU!

Sincerely,
Daniel Brouse

ABOUT THIS SONG
I made a deal with my co-author (God) that I would not sell out. So, I try not to. However, when it comes to songs that talk about hate or anger, it is tough. I’d prefer not to do these songs… because love is easier. Nevertheless, here it is — what someone’s hate toward us sounds like. Then, as the song progresses, the co-author and I make a suggestion to the hate-monger

instead of them just wearing a black hat, we ask them to crawl back and fade all the way to black. That way no one has to see how ugly. Hate, go away.

[i.e. A song about a hometown near you.]

LYRICS
Yow! Spreading hate like a #%Ckin’ disease
You’ve got the mange, and you’re sporting fleas
Maggots, a leech… maybe some sort-of worm
Has eaten the heart right out of your heart
Now a shadowy, pitiful *lurking in the dark*
Creatures of slime eaten your warm
Fuzzy turned to slurm, harm, germ
[Spreading hate like a #%Ckin’ disease]

Won’t you fade to black
You’re already better than half way (there)
No… no, no, please do not delay
Crawl back
Fade to black

DIRECTIONS TO LIFE

Whatever it is
There are so many ways it can be done
1) The puzzle is to recognize it is a puzzle.
2) The trick is to recognize the best solution.

When accepting guidance from above
When accepting guidance from the heart
The answer is instantly easy to see
As well as, when to start

You’ll know it’s now
You’ll know just how
Understanding,
The impact of your action
On the faction
Comprehending
The ramification
On the population

You’ll know you’ve won
When you know you’re one

Solution
Satisfaction
Deployment
Of enJOYment

Christmas In Love Park, Philadelphia, PA

I went to the City of Brotherly Love,
And, asked ’em,
“How do you spell love?”

They replied,
L. Ooooo V E,
With a lopsided Oh.

I went to God Almighty Above,
And, asked her,
“If you were to conjure up a spell,
well… what would it be?”
She replied with an angel’s sigh,
“The spell is love.”

Please sing it with me,
“Love spell,
L. Ooooo V. E.,
With a lopsided Oh.”

Beats the devil outta hell,
L.O.V.E. spell

All yell,
“Love spell,
L. Ooooo V. E.,
With a lopsided Oh.”

Places in space,
Can it be found.

Of good reasons,
To create a way,
For the herd,
To have heard.

bookmark_borderThank Goodness

I feel the days growing shorter
As the nights grow colder and evermore slower
Right when the food is scarcer
Out of nowhere comes a feast fit for the King of Kings

Funny what religion brings
When the discipline of all things
Occurs as humanity sings

Sings from the heart
Of the Good News, music, literature and art
The beauty of the fine arts
As they do their part
Spreading the Word, the joy, the happiness

She whispers in my ear,
“Thank goodness.”

To thank God for God

Cornucopia of utopia
For all the time we collect
Thanking you gave

I hope to spend all eternity
Thanking God for God

To find a way to pray
Without you

The Song *With Love And Rage*

We’ve entered an age
In need of our sage
From the year nothing
Spring…
To be our savior
Bringing blankets to the shivering
Bringing food to those hungering
Medical attention to any needing aiding

We pray
Please don’t take that away
With love and rage
Occupy the savage age
X’s and O’s
The hero from year zero
