LYRICS
How many waves have crashed upon the beach
Is the number within reach
Like the ocean, the questions run deep

How close are you sitting to the sun
Does it feel so close that it’s got you on the run
Take the leap into questions running deep

If you can talk the talk
You can walk i on the boardwalk
Let your guitar do the talking
Feet dancing… forget the walking

How many tides have been high
Take a guess… go ahead n’ try
Memories you keep of questions running deep

Then, maybe you might know
How many tides have been low
Like the ocean, the questions run deep

LYRICS
What is our solution
To the saline solution
Can you see
We’ve left the sea
In a terrestrial evolution

Hear we’re filling the ocean
With our own pollution
Can you see
We’re killing the sea
In a tribal revolution

ABOUT THIS SONG
Chords — G Em
Am D G

This song was inspired by a trip to the Shore with my son. It got me thinking that the human body is mostly salt water. I fail to see how we can pollute the sea.

LYRICS
Standing in the ocean
Watching the tide roll out
I start to thinking
My feet are sinking
I begin figgerin’
What life’s about

Standing in the ocean
Watching the tide roll in
As I get a notion
My body’s in motion
The spirit’s en route
Life’s precious… no doubt

“If I were at the beach….”

Your dreams are within reach!

Don’t let a job
Lifetime rob
Don’t need any pouting
Don’t cry… no, don’t sob
No procrastinating
Outcast of the mob

Enough body serfing
Let’s go body surfing

The overdue Jersey Shore blues

ABOUT THIS SONG

Made in the USA (West Chester, Chester County, Pennsylvania, United States of America.)

While I was sitting on the courthouse wall writing music, a man stopped by (Chris) and asked if I could write a song about him “having a job and wishing he was at the shore, instead.” Since my son and I were also trying to plan a trip to the beach, I combined the ideas.

LYRICS
What? Are you living in a fog?
The children’s eyes pop through the mist
Try to start living with your head out of the clouds

Your vision — unclog
No opportunity missed
Its’ time to start screaming THE TRUTH loud out loud

Writing the Lyrics for *In A Fog* at Ocean City, NJ

ABOUT THIS SONG
Capo 2
E / A / G

Written and recorded on July 6, 2012 in Ocean City, New Jersey. It was the eighth day of heat wave… even the beach was brutal. Then, at about 5PM, this strange fog started rolling in. As I was writing the music, I could see the eyes of children popping out of the mist. It made me think how great it is that kids don’t live in a fog… with their heads in the clouds.

LYRICS
Have you ever wondered
If there’s anyone who cares
No need to ponder
That’s why I’m making you aware

Thanks for making me aware that you’re there
For now, the time on Earth we share
You don’t need to feel alone
We occupy the same home
As well as, the closest star
Just reach out… I’m there

ABOUT THIS SONG
Capo 6
A / A9 / A add G

Written and recorded in Ocean City, New Jersey on July 6, 2012. It is about the feeling you get when you play music for people… especially when you do it for free… just because you care. It is amazing how many people befriend you when make music for them.

LYRICS
Perhaps when you block-out ugly
You inhibit your ability to see?
A fault by default
Clearly on your part

Perhaps when you block-out ugly
You inhibit your ability to see?
If you think you can’t take it
It’s time to make it
Real

Where goes your nightmare
Where goes thee
Lost sole. Blank stare
Where goes your nightmare?
Do you wanna be?
Where goes your nightmare?
Dare go there

Dancing on a Lifeguard Stand in Ocean City, NJ

LYRICS
Why go to where the gray turns black
A place where there is no turning back
Move it on up ’cause the tide’s coming in
A whole new cycle getting ready to begin

The pages blowing in the wind
No time for Man to unwind
Rather make a pact to adapt
Wind-up. Then, we’re apt
To buoy a beginning
Of a brand new happening

Where the hydrogen and oxygen separate
The sea meets the sky
Where the clouds part you can start
To see the light
And, you just might
Put up a fight
For it’s the struggle to survive
That keeps us alive

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

The ability to sense when fear is near
Allowing you to steer clear of danger

LYRICS
It’s tough… it’s so tough moving up
The food chain
At the very least, you just might get eaten
By a slightly larger beast

It’s tough… it’s so tough moving up
The food chain
Revolution of evolution
(Wonder) who will remain?

It’s tough… it’s so tough moving up
The food chain

Appreciate your fate

You were such a sweet baby
No question. Not a maybe.
Now, you’ve grown inot a lady

Moments turn to memories
A day to a year
Don’t let time
Separate near

You’re here
It’s the time of your life
You’re here
There is no grief
Suspend disbelief

Forecast a dream

Daniel Brouse writes music on the beach of the Atlantic City Shore

How long have the waves
Pounded the sand
How long has man
Pounding the sands of time
Without reason
And, little rhyme
Pounded the sands of time
As the tide is wide
The Times subside
Pounded by human
