LYRICS

Dave,
Please save the day.
Hey!

Can you teach us to play?
Can you meet us half way?
Can you reach us… all the way?

“It comes from here.” (point to your heart)
It comes from hear. (point to your mind)

Ole school Grohl
Taping in the garage
Ole school Grohl
No music mirage
Ole school Grohl

Dave,
Please save the day.
Hey!

Will you help us today?
Will you lead the way…
Show us how to plaaaaaay.
How to play a show…
The spirit in music you know.

No fool fighters
Dave Grohl sighters

DAVE GROHL’S ACCEPTANCE SPEECH
Accepting the award, Grohl said, “To me, this award means a lot because it shows the human element of music is what’s important. Singing into a microphone and learning to play an instrument and learning to do your craft, that’s the most important thing for people to do…It’s not about being perfect, it’s not about sounding absolutely correct, it’s not about what goes on in a computer. It’s about what goes on in here [your heart] and what goes on in here [your head].”

Later, Dave went on to say, “To me the biggest advantage of going analog is the restrictions that it implies, which gets you to perform in a way that you’re actually being a human being. We thought about heart and performance. And I would rather people not tune their vocals, I would rather people not grid their drums.”

It must have been
An Act Of God
Mixed together
With Human
Heavens nod
An *Act Of God*
*God forbid*
Most everything
Man did
Destroy ourselves
Destroy our city
Forever wallowing
In self-pity
Forever swallowing
Our own tail
Forever swallowing
Our own tale

Capo 3

Em

You’re way to wacky
Not to survive
You’re the one always trying…
You always strive to survive
Stay alive
Way outside the norm
You’ll weather their storm

Let them say what they want to say about you
You’re the one whose heart is true
You have equal rights
Not to be equal
Equality doesn’t mean neutral

Humans
Create fate
Humans
Create dates

Human’s fate
Set their date

At any rate
There’s no debate
Our state…
Irate

We’ve gone mad
Off our rocker
All more than a tad
Beyond rational

Create hate?
Participate
Via voyeur
Then begin
The citizen
If we fall folly
To our
Un-natural nation

The gravity
Of no passivity
Leaves no pity

Create hate?
Participate
Via voyeur

Or, didn’t we know
Or, didn’t we NO

For us it is
A dismal prognosis

DOA RIP

Pray love gets the best of me.

When wishes come true
What do you
Wish for?
Reason?

Or, just
For more?

Browse

A Message Of Harmony
by Daniel Brouse on Tuesday, November 30, 2010 at 1:33pm

.MP3 and More Christmas Music

Something to start the Holiday Spirit.. based on a true story.

This is live from KingArthur.com with a message of harmony:

“Speak up, Son. I can’t hear what you’re saying.”
I said, “I ain’t talking to you.
I was singing songs
I was praying to my Lord.”

My Lord, I’m praying
My Lord, I’m praying
Do you hear what I’m singing?

She said, “Make music.
Where the message is the music.
And, the music is the message.
Make it pretty.
A message of harmony.”

Harmony

“Speak up, Son.
I can’t hear you.”
I said, “I ain’t talking to you.
I ain’t actually talking
I’m really trying
To sing
Sing along”

Warm the spirits
Sing a song
They’ll sing along
The world will hear it

[God says:]
Off your knees
If you please
Raise your eyes
To the skies

Sing to the Lord
Sing out loud
Sing a song
Of harmony
Make it pretty

[I respond:]
What I’m trying to do
Because you asked me to
Gonna sing a song
About harmony
Try to make it pretty
Gonna sing this song of harmony
Gonna try to make it pretty

Help me
Shape history

History shapers
Movers
And, makers

[God]
You still
Have freewill
It’s something you’ve had
You can choose
So, here’s something you can do
Use
Your freewill

One more time
Gonna break it down
Harmony
Need some harmony

One, two, three
Harmony
One, two, three
Harmony

Peace and harmony

And, there’s something
I want you to know
I’m always right here

Who cares if people think
You’re singing to yourself
I’m always right by your side
There is nothing for you to hide
You can always sing out loud
To be heard
Cause we’re making it
For the herd

Sing a pretty song
Gonna sing
Sing a pretty song
Sing a pretty song
All day long

’bout peace, love, understanding
And, harmony

She’s always
Company
Peace, love and harmony
She’s always
Next me
Peace, love and harmony

LYRICS
Ohhhh, thank God we’re not stranded
Weeellll, heellll, yeah… we’ve landed

we tried to plan for it
we prayed we’d live to it… through it
at least, to part where we start
what’s next

now, I’m no longer perplexed
we were never hexed
we just put ourselves into this place
the place?
we tried to replace our race
with space
empty
space

as the light at the end of the tunnel approaches
it to us or us to it
it becomes appreciative

the moment
the mood
the climate
is good

if there’s any doubt that you should
if there’s any reason you could.. n’t
no sense to rage
no sense to rant
that’s all long ago
or don’t we know
who want’s to get caught up in the murk
the light is at hand
if we do not command… the shadows to lurk

to understand is at hand
the light’s right there
we’re ohhhh so close

never again to be rare
a point when everyone knows
when everyone knows

yaaaa, they at least… want to know

now, here we are
it wasn’t that far
we’ve landed at that space in time
where everything that I am
can see the beginning from the end
The End Of Our Times
Is not the End Of The End
It’s just the start of something new
Now, we knew
the message we’ll send
— The End

LYRICS
If you’re having one of those days
When you don’t know which way to go
You just don’t know

You know it’s true
You can count on my
We’ll see what we can do

Just give me a call
About anything at all
And, I’d be happy to lend a hand
To help understand
What the hell we’re doing
Why we want to ruin… everything

If you’re having one of those days
When you don’t know which way to go
You just don’t know

Well, I’m still standing
Some find it hard to believe
I’ve got an understanding with the Almighty
And, I fall to my knees
And, I try, try, try to please
I fall to my knees

She says, “Whatcha doing? Get up on your feet.
Get out on the street.
You do me no good when you’re there on the floor.
No, no more.
So, get on your feet.
Get on the street”

She doesn’t care if you’re discrete
She just wants you to shout out the beat

Cause I’m still standing after all I’ve been through
And, I’d be more than happy to help you
I’m still standing
I know it’s true

ABOUT THE SONG
The music and lyrics are performed in a freestyle fashion. The extemporaneous words help exhibit what the song is about. Imagine if I had a dream… and the dream was about helping to make your dream come true… and your dream was about helping someone else’s dream come true… and so on… until it came full circle back to someone wanting to help make my dream come true. What else would a dreamer dream about?

LYRICS
Everything you’ve imagined will be there
No, no matter
No matter what I might of thought
No matter what we may have thought
This is what we’ve wrought
And, now it’s possible
It’s possible for all your dreams to come true
Like it or not
Yes, everything you’ve imagined that was good
Everything you’ve imagined
All your dreams can come true
Your dreams can come true

If all the beings had all the dreams
And, they brought them together in a beautiful fashion
Just image the dreams of the dreams
And, they compounded
You add them up
And, multiply

The smallest child
They can dream
Enlist the dreams of the dreamers
And, we build upon the dream
Build upon a dream
All our dreams can come true

We multiply the I
Let’s dream a dream together
If we really want to
We can make the dream come true

LYRICS
Get your Uh Ha
And, thump ’em over here
[We’re going to go crazy]

ABOUT
What if everyone got their best out?

Get that part of yourself out that makes you say “Uh Ha!” Then, band together with everyone else doing the same thing.

A FUN PART OF THE EXPERIMENT
This was our first time using a voice sample on a Casio Workstaion WK-500. Additional vocal tracks were recorded using a Roland Boss Digital multi-track.
