Lesson #1: Stupendous

Posted on November 25, 2012 by admin

LYRICS
Is there nothing I can do to persuade you
There’s somethings that we can do
That will save us. Stupendous!

You might turn off a light
Helping clear clutter from sight
There’s somethings that we can do
That will save us. Stupendous!

You might put up a fight
To when it comes to doing what’s right
There’s somethings that we can do
That will save us. Stupendous!

Though trite… turn off a light
Helping clear-up a blight
There’s somethings that we can do
That will save us. Stupendous!

Depend upon us. Stupendous!

LYRICS
Very thankful you gave us the day
And, I’d be more than happy to do it again
Thankful to make it all this way
And, I’d be more than happy to do it again

An opportunity of a lifetime
A gift of time that I can call mine

Quite thankful for the day and the night
And, I’d be more than happy to do it again
Thankful for the might of your light
And, I’d be more than happy to do it again

An experience of a lifetime
An existence that’s more than fine

My, My, My, Oh, My (Thanksgiving Song)

Posted on November 22, 2012November 22, 2012 by admin

LYRICS
Playing the guitar when you drove by
My, my, my, oh, my
Rolled down the window… gave a big thumbs-up
My, my, my, oh, my
In terms of cheer… you filled my cup
My, my, my, oh, my

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for that.
To the man of the hour, I tip my hat

Writing a Thanksgiving sing-along song
My, my, my, oh, my
Inspired because you came along
My, my, my, oh, my
Thankful your music filled the year (and my ear)
My, my, my, oh, my
Thankful we’re all together… here!

On The Brink

Posted on November 20, 2012November 21, 2012 by admin

LYRICS
What do you think
Would you rather be on the brink
Of being there?

Life’s sojourn just keeps getting better
Wouldn’t you rather…
Then being there?

Once life’s journey is complete
Exactly how many feet deep
Do you want buried
I mean what’s your hurry?

Filling up every millisecond
Stuff it full, I’d reckon
To the brink, Id’ think
So your legend is knowledge

Eat Your Heart Out

Posted on November 20, 2012 by admin

LYRICS
Dangling from a thread
Starting to weave a web
Around me
Want the last drop of blood
To satisfy the greed
Concede… see it will never be

Don’t try to feed the greed
Start to feed the heart
Create a flood of blood
And, the world will feed

March Through The Fall

Posted on November 17, 2012 by admin

LYRICS
When I get close to you, there’s nothing that I can do
I start to march
Rhythm overtakes my heart

If I thirst
If the moth is parch
Let the march burst
Just you watch
Love will rain down
Love will reign down
Quench my thirst
Let the heart burst
No need to rehearse
Let the heart burst
Prior to the hearse

Posted on November 16, 2012 by admin

LYRICS
1, 2, 3, 4
1, 2, 3, for what do we dance?
1, to what do we dance?

Bark it out
Don’t be afraid
Make a sound
Be found… out

Bark it out

Don’t be afraid
You are what you made
Now, make of it what you will
Shake it… better still

1, 2, 3, 4 what are we dancing for?

Dance a suspense dance (can’t wait to anticipate)
Dance a surveillance dance (see if there’s a scene gleam)
Dance an independence dance
Dance a reverence dance
Dance to thank God we’ve got a chance to dance!

1, 2, 3, for what? 1, 2, 3, 4 what do we dance for?
Dance for what
Jump about
Electrify I. Give Watt! (see your energy)

In The Nether

Posted on November 16, 2012 by admin

LYRICS
Now it’s time to go to sleep. Good night.
Go to sleep
Now it’s time to dream of dreams
See scenes from realms seldom seen

Sleep comes creepin’ in
The day-life ends just in time for the night’s to begin

Now it’s time to search real deep
Not it’s time to dream a scene
Of the future… what is yet to come
The Age Grandeur when we come together… become
The Age Grandeur when we come together
In the nether

ABOUT THE SONG

Written and recorded on November 11 and 15, 2012 in West Chester, Pennsylvania. The music started as I sat at the piano after the session was over.

Overlord Overload

Posted on November 15, 2012 by admin

LYRICS
In the day when the overlords overshadow
These are the days the overlords overthrow themselves
Stripping himself naked of pride and wealth

In the day when Hubris meets Nemesis
They eat themselves leaving us (innocent and righteous)
From chasing their own tail… to The End of the tale

CHORUS
Overlord overload
Under the weight of their own hoard
Overlord overload
Under the wait of the director’s board

In the day when Earth is inherited by the meek
These are days when love shall speak
Cloaking Herself naked with the pride of nature’s hide

Psalm 37
1 Do not fret because of those who are evil
or be envious of those who do wrong;
2 for like the grass they will soon wither,
like green plants they will soon die away.
9 For those who are evil will be destroyed,
but those who hope in the Lord will inherit the land.
10 A little while, and the wicked will be no more;
though you look for them, they will not be found.
11 But the meek will inherit the land
and enjoy peace and prosperity.
12 The wicked plot against the righteous
and gnash their teeth at them;
13 but the Lord laughs at the wicked,
for he knows their day is coming.

Matthew 5
4 Blessed are those who mourn,
for they will be comforted.
5 Blessed are the meek,
for they will inherit the earth.
6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they will be filled.

LYRICS
The clouds moved out of the way
’cause the mountains had something to say
“We appreciate the sunshine today”
When trouble is at bay
Conveyancing will outweigh
Why move mountains?
Why move a mountain?
Through our valley let peace roll in

Equals Rainbow

Posted on November 14, 2012November 14, 2012 by admin

Writing the Song = Rainbow in West Chester, PA

LYRICS
Take some blue
Take some yellow
Don’t forget violet
Do you know what I mean?
Take some green
(or mixing yellow and blue will do)
Color a rainbow

Don’t forget violet

If you read the directions, it calls for red
Or, you can always make do by adding some blue
If you forget the violet

(Aren’t-choo glad you got orange?)

If you’re bright
Take white light
With the rhythm of a prism
Separate the aggregate
And, you know you’ll get a rainbow
= rainbow

Like God make a promise such as this
No harm to humans I wish

Throwing A Hissy Fit

Posted on November 14, 2012November 14, 2012 by admin

LYRICS
If throwing a hissy fit could get you into heaven
Then, I’d quit
Too bad a temper tantrum doesn’t get you in
It’s a sin what you’ve been

[Forgive and forget?]
Before we forget, you’d better check if God will forgive
Takin’ your regret to the grave is a grave mistake
If you’re thinking God will give you a break…
Everybody ‘ll be dancing on your grave at your wake

If lying, cheating, stealing… could get you into heaven
You’d probably win
But, then again…
I wouldn’t bet your life on it
Nor throwing a hissy fit
You might as well quit

HoundDog Blues

Posted on November 14, 2012November 14, 2012 by admin

LYRICS
Dog gone it. Dag nab it.
Confounded stranger can’t read “DANGER!”
“BEWARE OF DOG” less you meet your God
Beware of God less you’re dog meat
He’s a big dog… you’re more the size of a dog treat
If you come knockin’ better be answerin’ to “Who is it?”

Hark,
That dog’s bit is worse than his bark
And, that dog’s bark is fierce
Listen as the shock of sound waves pierce

Chasing Rays

Chasing Rays.mp3 (Free MP3 Download or Streaming Audio)

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.
