Writing Music in King Of Prussia

LYRICS
Where the sky parts from the see
The ocean waves goodbye
There’s a sigh in the air
A sigh in the error

Why not choose what’s best for humanity
Instead of just for you or me
Overthrow the overlords
Of disparity

With the vision of the Viking
No one is best suited to be king
With the vision of Charlemagne
Try to alleviate suffering and pain

No need to cross an expansive sea
To contemplate the fate of society
No need for flight from the storm
No need for blight, nor for harm

Lyrics to the Song Correction
Lyrics to the Song Correction

The ability to sense when fear is near
Allowing you to steer clear of danger
The ability to sense when fair is near
Allowing you to see clearer and stronger

LYRICS
Though an optimist
I must admit
Some situations on Earth
Are bleak
We forgot to care
For the meek
Now, the social justification
That I did fear
Is much closer
Than just near

Radiate.
Be intimate
Transfer
With Her
Mother of the Earth

Give birth
Bring forth

Bring it down from on above
Radiate
Be intimate
Love

He’s a fool
He don’t mind dyin’
He don’t mind lyin’
He’s a tool

The breaknecks from Lakeside
Ought to run and hide
Even the po-po know
Dicks, Jokers and Shitheads
Now, my daddy gonna make their beds

Ya violate my daughter
Why ya ought notta

Ya ought to just give it back
If ya wanna live your life of slack
‘else ya just might get the knack
For the Folsom County blues

This is the first song in a trilogy from the album Prom And Aid. It is about the 2012 Wissahickon Prom in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania where some “joker” made the mistake of victimizing my daughter. Her date tried to set things straight. When that wasn’t enough, the police brought justice.

LYRICS
Rape, pilfer and plunder
What a tragedy
Is it any wonder
There’s only yesterday
As far as the eye (I) can see

Yes, it’s time to move on
I do believe you’re beatin’
That dead horse to death
Yes, it’s time to move on
I do believe you’ve eatin’
To the entrails through the flesh

Scrape, litter and squander
What a tragedy
Is it any wonder
No more tomorrow
For you or me

I wish we were apt to adapt
Waste our waste
Trash our trash
Smash our thrash

LYRICS
If you go indifferent
You’ll come out different
When time turns real
Don’t forget how to feel

You’re running the rat race
Getting fat for the cat
Gonna bury your soul with that hunk of meat?
R.I.P. Rest In Peace

You seem to forget
An eternity of regret
Seize the moment
Less the moment seizure you

ABOUT THIS SONG
Capo 2
Written and recorded in Ambler and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on May 20, 2012. It’s about a disease that attacks most humans — growing old. As children turn into adults, they tend to become indifferent about life. Please, oh please, Lord… not me.

Adding up to more than nothing
Imagine all the humans
In perfect harmony as they sing

Parting with land

Moving up the ladder a bit

Rung by rung

Moving up the ladder a bit

The ruler of time
Measures your age
The impact you make
Whether you’re a hit

Deems you — sage
The more you create
The brighter you lit
The graduate
Moving up the ladder a bit

Puttin’ on the new shoes tonight
Steppin’ on the red carpet’s alright
Wish I may, wish I might
Make that silver screen shine bright

My Dear
World premiere
Making moving pictures
Movie star’s in my future
Wish I may, wish I might
Make that silver screen shine bright

Mirror, mirror, on the wall
First star I see tonight
Wish I may, wish I might
Make that silver screen shine bright

Puttin’ on the new dress — formal ball
Everybody’s trying to call
[Have my agent take their name
While I try n’ stay sane]

Red carpet and silver screen
For my motion picture’s opening scene
Wish I may, wish I might
Make that silver screen shine bright

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
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

Fourth Base .mp3 (free music download)

Though never a big league ball player, I do enjoy playing the All-American-Past-Time from time-to-time. The one thing that does come to mind is when a youngster is on base… and a bigger fellow hits a home run. You can yell, “Run to first.” You can yell, “Run to second.” You can yell, “Run to third.” However, if you yell, “Run home” you run the risk that the lad will do just that. Thus, the name of the song *Fourth Base*

ADDITIONAL LYRICS
You Might find it funny
But, you’re already home

There ya go strutting down the street
Always in search of your comfort zone
You don’t need to beat an easy feat
You’re never alone if you’re always at home
It’s within your reach… you don’t need to roam
You may find it funny, but you’re already home

No need to reach
No need to roam
Self teach
No moan

You might find it funny, but you’re already home

ABOUT THE SONG
Daniel — vocals, guitar
The song was written and recorded in Ambler and West Chester, Pennsylvania on an 8-track digital recorder. 1 track was used for guitar. 2 tracks were used for a stereo vocal track. 3 tracks were used for individual backing vocals. 2 tracks were used to create a stereo master mix.

The inspiration for the guitar lick and the lyrics came from the vibe of the people passing by.

Putting one foot
In front of the other
Step by step
In a straight line
I find I’m back
Where I started

Chorus:
A circle of deadends
Is there no way out?
Round and round…
’till my soul
Is found

Driving one way
In search of another
Turn by turn
In a lost time
I find the knack
Of being thwarted
And, I’m right back where
I started

Chorus

Panicking away
No guidance from mother
Beat by beat
My heart’s not mine
I’m under attack
… being sentenced
Though, I know
Not what I did

Chorus

Placing faith
Not a fighter
But, a lover
I recover

My Dear,
Nothing to fear
The path is near
We will steer clear
Placing faith
Above all other
There is a way
Out of here

What was a lark
In Evansburg State Park
Was the start
Of our direction
Toward the One
Of perfection?

LYRICS
Thinking of you
On this hot summer night
Wondering if
You just might….

Going down to Downey’s
Plenty of players there
With the spirit to experiment
What sound can be found?

Thinking of you
On this hot summer night
Wondering if
You just might….

Take some singers to Ringers
Bring more to the dance floor
Give a look that’s meant
To ask if there’s more

Thinking of you
On this hot summer night
Wondering if
You’ll improve my sight
Catch a glimpse
Through the crowd
We’ll sing our song
We’ll sing it loud
With astral dancing
Made for romancing
Embrace the space
While we have the chance
