Posted on by admin

LYRICS
’tis in the twilight of the dawning
Spawning
Skepticism
In the realization
We’re all drowning
Eventually starved
Of living
However;
From now till never
The “I’m” till I transpire
The time till I expire
Is an event
Every moment
Whether running silent
Or shining brilliant
I’m going to let it shine
Shine, shine, shine

A Tribute to Ikutaro Kakehashi
I happened to be in the midst of recording a MIDI based album when I learned of the passing of Ikutaro Kakehashi:

Ikutaro Kakehashi (梯 郁太郎 Kakehashi Ikutarō  7 February 1930 – 1 April 2017) was an engineer, an entrepreneur, and the founder of Ace Tone, Roland Corporation and ATV, Japanese manufacturers of electronic musical instruments. He was known for his role in the development of Ace Tone and Roland drum machines and the MIDI standard.

LYRICS
I heard out West the country girl is the best
Standing head and shoulders above the rest
So kick off your spurs… bet that kitty of yours purrs (prrrrrrr)
Check your gun at the door… for sure good time… and more

Come on, Cowgirl, mosey over and dance to guitar
Get really, really close to really, really going far

Allemande left we’ll have a two-step fest
To do-si-do with you is to be blessed
The courtesy to courtesy… may I be your partner
With you by my side, we’re sure to go further

Come on, Cowgirl, mosey over and dance to guitar
Get really, really close to really, really going far
Dance to guitar… piano’s next to the bar
Get really, really close to really, really going far

LYRICS
God bless the world… we sure need some
A dressing of Christmas blessing
For all men

The play has begun. The work is done.
A confessing and a blessing
For all men

God save the scene. It’s grown to mean.
A blessing of peace and understanding
For all men

The play has begun. The curtain hung.
The Age of the “world is a stage”
For all men

LYRICS
My Child,
Have we returned to wild
It’s a jungle out there
With all their despair
Don’t mean to bring you down
… just look around

Crimes of war and more
Crimes of humanity
Greed spreading poverty
The flatulence of our arrogance
Does smell like hell

Writing the Song “Thawed Just Ice”

LYRICS
When the doom starts to loom
Go toward the omnipresent light
When storm troopers goon
Got to stick up for what is right

What is “just” must come true
True the alignment is meant

When you feel down on your luck
When you are persecuted
It’s time to give a F&%#!
Risking being executed

What is “just” must come true
True the alignment is meant

LYRICS
We’re gonna put ya in the cellar tonight
Then, lock the door real tight

In case you’re a menace to society
Lock you up… throw away the key

We’re gonna put ya in the cellar tonight
Then, lock the door real tight

If you’re lucky
The happy monkey
With a purple crayon
The wall you write upon

We’re gonna put ya in the cellar tonight
Then, lock the door real tight

RESPONSE
Hey! You may wanna hesitate
Before you cast your fate
Before you mess with the charm of…
A karma

bookmark_borderOwn Worst Enemy

Posted on by admin

A song inspired by a friend’s Facebook post:

So, 88-98% of corn, cotton (cotton oil–as in what a lot of potato chips are cooked in), canola oil, and soybean crops grown are genetically engineered. About 80% of the crops are to feed livestock. So what evolution has taken 3 billion years to create, humankind can destroy in 40 years. Maybe that’s the plan, to kill off our own kind to revert back to the beginning, with a little plastic and holes in the ozone as a special bonus. Kudos, Homo sapiens. We’ve really “outdone” ourselves.

LYRICS
What is it that I walk upon?
I wish we had the insight to look on and on and on
And, we found the ground
Underneath our feet
Are we going to be our own defeat?

What is that that I breath
Has the air gone up in thin air
Is there something more than just our air in there
What is it we breath
Are we our own disease?

Will we beat
Into defeat
Will we beat
Our own defeat

What is that in our food
Is it any good
What we eat
Are we our own defeat?

I don’t think we can cheat Mother Nature
It’s us we beat into defeat

We’re going to beat ourselves into defeat
And, I would say it’s time to change the seat
This game of musical chairs is going nowhere
I don’t want to be the last one standing
It won’t be any fun if I’m the only one that does remain
It might even drive you insane
