ABOUT THE SONG
Capo 2
G
G less G
G add D, Bb, F
G / A / D / G

Written and recorded on September 16, 2012 in West Chester, PA. It is about people that would aid humanity if they could; however, oppression is in the way.

Oppression is the exercise of authority or power in a burdensome, cruel, or unjust manner.  It can also be defined as an act or instance of oppressing, the state of being oppressed, and the feeling of being heavily burdened, mentally or physically, by troubles, adverse conditions, and anxiety.

Writing the Song Flugtag on the Delaware River

LYRICS
We’re gonna fly this thing sink or swim
Invoked my thought process
Passed beyond a whim
Gonna build this colossus
Murphy’s Law can’t win
No, never gonna stop us
We’ll never give in

Can’t pull my pork… whack my pud
Ain’t gonna fall face-flat in the mud
Pop your cork
Never a dud
Get behind us, and we’ll call you bud

ABOUT THE SONG

Written and recorded on September 15 and 16, 2012 at the Race Street Pier, Philadelphia and the West Chester, Pennsylvania. It was inspired by inspiration and innovation of the participants in the Red Bull FLugtag competition, as well as, the cooks at the West Chester Restaurant Festival. In the Flugtag event, contestants build contraptions and then try to fly them over the Delaware River. At the restaurant festival, cooks make adventurous dishes like Duck Tacos and fried pickles… then try to coax the crowd into becoming consumers.

LYRICS
Once upon a time the West was wild
The impact of man having been mild
It’s been quite a while
Since there’s been a wolf’s howl

Now, the West isn’t the same (no, no more)
The Western man made it lame
“Of course, you’d better shoot that horse!”

Amazing
Should of stuck to gazing not grazing, hazing, razing, phasing, tasing
’till every red man is a dead man
Burning the planet of its plants
Stripped the mines as if they’re yours
Who knows if life endures

If you’re in doubt (scream) throw it out
Don’t be afraid to turn your inside out
The angels at your destination
Are cheering in appreciation

LYRICS
Though the choices are vast… wide
Decide
Have a vision and make a decision
Is it in your essence to influence
A positive outcome… by acting smart
Not dumb
All the while

While not bothering to think “How come?”
Make it done

LYRICS
Love that’s made from first aid
Live your life like you wouldn’t trade
Put yourself out… don’t be afraid
Step it up… raise your grade
Guaranteed you’ll be repaid
You weren’t meant to wade
Dive in before you fade

There was a little engine
That thought he could
He could use a little push
If you would

There was a little imagine
A thought that would
2 in the hand
Verses 1 in the bush

Understand
Imagine

Please do not resist the assist
A request for aid
Has been made

Offering heart felt help

If you’re feeling blue
There’s something you can do
Just turn the corner
(remember turn the corner)
Up, up, up, up, up
And, smile a while

Splash on some happiness
Let it wash over you
Overcome. Be overlord
Of the darkness

Awash in the happiness
Part of the song and dance crew
Overcome. Never board.
Smack on the lips with a happiness kiss

At the end of your lips
The corner of your lips
Do away with the dips
Turn it up a bit

You can part
You can part
When you’re glowing in the heart

You can part any sea
Turn water to wine
Create a feast for the hungry to dine

When you’re glowing in the heart
The hearts you’ll start
When you’re glowing in the dark

Emotional smarts
Spiritual larks
Take flight

LYRICS
I was…
Naked. Tied-up.
Bound and gagged
In the back of your mother’s station wagon
Hang-on
Lights are flashing
The spot light is on
Officer says, “What’s going on?”

Now, you’ve changed
How you’ve changed
Your mind rearranged
(You’re) estranged

Oh, no
She went psycho
Joined the Puritan Police
Now, I need a release

Oh, let my daughter go
’cause you know
You went psycho

You use to be some fun
But, now
People run!

You ain’t no superhero
With that super, super ego
No. No. No.

Janet, try your switch
’cause less is on

LYRICS
If you have a care for me
I will have a care for you
Together we can see it through
Weather it through any sea

I must have a care for you
It’s the very least to do
Thank you for helping me to see

Ate compassionate for breakfast
Gotta hunch I’ll have it for lunch
Can you stop by before the supper that’s last?

Feel deep before we’re past

Dive deep into your heart
And, part the see

If You Give A Care.mp3

ABOUT THE SONG
C / F / E

Written and recorded August 25, 2012 in West Chester, Pennsylvania.

It’s about love reciprocity. The album name “Natural Producer” has to do with the engineering and production of the music. Since the music is hoped to be *God Inspired*, names like deity, spirit, divinity, supernatural being and idol producer came to mind; however, that sounded too vain. So, what am I compared to the Supernatural Being Producer?

I understand you’re short on hands
So, before I pass away
What can I do for you today?

LYRICS
Transposing letters to numbers
Transposing the numbers into my name
While intelligence slumbers
It’s turned into a mental game

Don’t give up
Half empty or half full is your cup?
Don’t give up

When they try to give you the run-around
You know the answer can be found
No matter the resistance
Win them over with persistence
Don’t give up

Put you on hold ’till you grow mold
Ask you to please, please, please wait
Nooooo… don’t drop the line yet another time
We shall overcome without hate

Don’t give up
Half empty or half full is your cup?
Don’t give up
