bookmark_borderThe Momentum of Rain

Posted on by admin

As rain becomes more massive, it will have greater momentum when it hits. It will cause more damage to crops, plants, soil, asphalt, concrete, roofs, solar panels… and I bet if you use your “head” you can think of other impacts.

LYRICS
A hard rain is falling
The mass x velocity
Is starting to kill me
Driving right through me
More momentum
Sore cranium

A hard rain is falling
Frequency n’ intensity
Is starting to kill me
Driving right through me
More momentum
Sore cranium

Storm warning is calling
Rain drops with severity
… it’s starting to kill me
Driving right through me
More momentum
Sore cranium

LYRICS
What do you say
Could you spray
Right this way
You know…
Some H2O

See that tree
Next to me
Can’t you see…?
You know
Some H2O

Poor puppy
So thirsty
Panting plea…
You know
Some H2O

You know…

Where’d it go?
Fatal blow
Toe to toe
Fell below
Well below
Wells below

A smile can get you pretty far
No matter who you are
If you get the chance

LYRICS
Can’t wait to get up
In the morning
To see what the day
Will bring my way
To see the early bird
Catching the worm
Is the lesson well learned?

So, lets get going
Let’s get moving
Let’s bring to the day
Dance and play
Let’s sing along the way
Making the best
Attest
To what’s left

LYRICS
No, you can’t get blood from a stone
Won’t answer if nobody’s home
Huff and puff but you can’t get in
So please come again
A one pony trick
Needs a new tactic
To capture imagination
Want my two cents?
Create the circumstance
To capture imagination

No, you can’t turn water into wine
Believe me… I try it all the time
Fight windmills and you’ll never win
So please come again
A one pony trick
Needs a new tactic
To capture imagination
Want my two cents?
Create the circumstance
To capture imagination

No, you can’t try to raise the dead
Their says already been said
There’s no sense in cryin’
So please come again
A one pony trick
Needs a new tactic
To capture imagination
Want my two cents?
Create the circumstance
To capture imagination

Inclined to turn the day
A better way
Rewind the burn from ever yearn
And turn the day

Inclined to turn the day

Undo the harm of our alarm
And turn the day

Inclined to turn the day

Unpave the way
Lessen the stay

Inclined to turn the day

Want a little less
Try to do best
And turn the day

bookmark_borderDown Home Kentucky Recipe

Posted on by admin

A song about:
Kentucky flooding is followed by heat wave
The rain that unleashed massive floods in Appalachian mountain communities was diminishing on Tuesday, leaving survivors to face a new threat: baking in the heat as they try to recover.

“It’s going to get really, really hot. And that is now our new weather challenge,” Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear said at his Tuesday morning briefing on the disaster.

The death toll stood at 37 on Tuesday after more bodies were found Monday in the ruined landscape, and while more than 1,300 people have been rescued, crews were still trying to reach some people who remain cut off by floods or mudslides, he said. Hundreds remained unaccounted for.

LYRICS
Did you see Kentucky
All that flood…
Then mud
Now, they’ve raised the stakes
Ready to bake
(Shake and bake)
Baking up mud cakes
With the taste of neighbors’ blood
Yet failing to see
It’s our recipe
Laid to waste our neighborhood
Wish to God we’d understood
Stand
(For the land)

Did you see out West
No doubt in a drought
And raising the stakes higher
With some wild fire
Don’t you think it’s best
That we all found out
Can’t rest if you tire
Situation’s dire
Laid to waste our neighborhood
Wish to God we’d understood
Stand
(For the land)

Does anybody care
There’s nothing under there
There’s nothing under there… under where?
Fail to see
Your policy
Frailty
Our tendency

Does anybody care
There’s nothing under there
There’s nothing under there… under where?
Fail to see

Please bail me

Does anybody care
There’s nothing under there
There’s nothing under there… under where?
Nailed, indeed
Your fallacy
Try to impede
Our fantasy

Posted on by admin

A song about looking into a swimming pool and looking into a soul

LYRICS
Parts you can see right through
Others bounce back at you
Reflecting on reflections
Of the surface
Reflecting on selections
Of my service

Pars can pass right through
Others do come back to you
Parts there’s nothing to see
Others to see is to be
Reflecting on reflections
Of the surface
Reflecting on selections
Of my service

To have and to hold
Or let life unfold
To tie a tight knot/not
Or give all you’ve got
Curl up in a ball
Or stand up real tall
Not to try at all
Or get up when you fall?

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Sound can’t travel through space
There’s no sound found
In a vacuum not a trace
No sound around
Come on down
To Earth
You can hear down here
For what it’s worth

Out in space it’s hard to dance
When no sound can be found
A “hard to dance” circumstance
Without sound
Come on down
To Earth
You can hear down here
For what it’s worth

Does life without music
Make you sick
The confines of space have bound
There’s a solution… a quick trick
Sound is found
Come on down
To Earth
You can hear down here
For what it’s worth

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
You ever wonder
Where times wander
Where did the time go?
I’m falling behind
To the land of lost time
Does anyone know
Where does the time go?
I’m looking ahead
No! I’m not dead
I for one know
There’s still time to go

You ever ponder
How time’s squandered
Can’t get time to slow
I’m falling behind
To the land of lost time
Does anyone know
Where does the time go?
I’m looking ahead
No! I’m not dead
I for one know
There’s still time to go

You ever wander
Way off yonder
Beyond where the times flow
I’m falling behind
To the land of lost time
Does anyone know
Where does the time go?
I’m looking ahead
No! I’m not dead
I for one know
There’s still time to go

I don’t want you to say
Go away
The facts are here to stay
Anyway
What lacks is easy to see
The coherency

I don’t want you to waste
Precious time
In the void of taste
Waste’s a crime
What lacks is easy to see
The coherency

I don’t want you to hate
Living life
Let’s participate
Without strife
What lacks is easy to see
The coherency

I don’t want you to say
Go away
The facts are here to stay
Anyway

LYRICS
I hope to carry on
… and on and on
Grab the rope and tow the line
’til we reach The End of time
Point-of-view from me, my, mine
To all is well when all is fine
The only thing for Man to fear
Is Man himself
while the only thing a man holds dear
Is his self-wealth

We cope and carry on
… and on and on
Grab the rope and tow the line
’til we reach The End of time
Point-of-view from me, my, mine
To all is well when all is fine
The only thing for Man to fear
Is Man himself
while the only thing a man holds dear
Is his self-wealth

The scope to carry on
… and on and on
No “nope” to carry on
… and on and on
Grab the rope and tow the line
’til we reach The End of time

To all is well when all is fine

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
A melody came to me
And its seemed to be
Quite haunting
The gravity of levity a little bit
Less daunting
When a melody came to me
Quite contrarily
The brevity
Of the levity
Present’s barely
Quickly fades into past
How much long will it last?

The comedy I start to see
Simply amusing
The levity of the love I see
Even more amazing
Then, that melody came to me
Quite contrarily
The brevity
Of the levity
Present’s barely
Quickly fades into past
How much long will it last?
