How about for the last dance
We play give love a chance?

Open your heart to the darkest part
Let in a ray
Shout hooray
Get of your knees and pray
Beggin’ ya please…
Join the foray

For the last dance
Givin’ love a chance
For the last hoorah
Oh, Lord! Say jah!

Hold me tight
We’ll dance all night
Letting in a ray
Letting in the light
This is how we play
This is how we pray

LYRICS
Caught between
A pig
And, a wet blanket
Smothering me
With the terroristic drastic

Please ween me
From your dictatorship
Your narcissistic flip

The militant mean
The militant mean
You know harm
The militant: mean

The pig skin’s sheen
Doesn’t make him cleam
A big pig
Doesn’t make a big man
Just dessert
Of ham

LYRICS
The High Roller
Hits the wrong Note
Likes to holler
Roll in conceit and gloat

Think ya rule…
Rule the world
Think you’re cool
But, that gets old

Why don’t ya try
To lighten up
Say good-bye
To acting tough

Cuz ya ain’t that big
And, ya ain’t that bold
Maybe you should try
Acting small
After all,
That;s what you are
So, you won’t need to stretch that far
Give up the ignorance
Give up the grimace

Rise above the alarm

Returning to the sea

The sea returns to us?

Mostly, H2O

Built with know

Sing and dance the day away

 

ABOUT THIS SONG
Em
Em / Am / D / G
reprise A / D / G

Written and recorded on May 19, 2012 in West Chester, Pennsylvania. It is a song about what humans are made of… including the ghost in the machine. Approximately 70 percent of the human body is made up of water. Our waste is mostly salt water. However, there is that part we call the soul. While I was writing the song, three children climbed up onto the pedestal of the statue and commenced to do a wild jig. That was exactly the ghost in the machine I was trying to describe.

LYRICS
“I don’t even know what’s under there”
Into space, I stare
And, wonder
Have you ever even thought of scratching the surface?

Blow away some debris
See what you see
Throw away your pedigree
Set yourself free

Decorate with fringe and lace
Celebrate with friends
Our place
God of Thunder
Loving Mother Earth
That fave us birth

Only a fool fears being a fool

Depth charge your soul
And, see what will surface

LYRICS
Sometimes the littlest thing
Is not a trivial thing
The way a bird can sing
And, wake you in the morning

The way the atmosphere can make the sky appear
Blue
The way the smile in your eye
Lifts my heart… I can fly!

I dreamed I flew to you
The next scene… explicit… too

Strapped into our car seats
We roll down our windows
Wave and give thumbs up

We stretch out of our strollers
Spin our head like an owl
Hoot. Scream. Let out a howl!

We’re the preschool of rock
We love our beats
We’re the preschool of rock
Feel free. Tap your feet.
We’re the preschool of rock
What a musical treat
We’re the preschool of rock
Sweet for our ears to eat
We’re the preschool of rock
Let’s turn up the heat
We’re the preschool of rock
So happy to meet
We’re the preschool of rock
Let’s rock the block

Of the right angle

This ain’t rocket science
This is social science
Take care in how you engineer
Less you breed a realm of fear

No need to be obtuse
When you’re acute
No need to dish abuse
Be the angel
With wings of vector
Coming together
At the right angle
An erector of valor

Geo-not-just-me geometry

Though are views are parallel
We must bend to meet

We get together
Think up good thought
Can we get together
Why not?

Help save the world
We’ve helped to kill
Help build a mountain
Out of our mole hill
With a hallelujah refrain
Partaking in the idea guild

Bang! Wow! Pop!
There’s another
And, another
Another

Just off the top
Of my head
Formulate
Let it be said

Not the ordinary
Regurgitate
Investigate
An original idea
An encyclopedia of hope
With a slope
For the good
So we can hope to cope
So we’re apt to adapt
Not a rope
To choke

With a slant
Toward the planet

Try n’ listen to what She’ll say

Great work. Great pay.

Tilling souls with the fertilizer of love
There’s no need for gloves
As an artist creates beauty
Turning love into reality

ABOUT THE SONG
This song was written and recorded in West Chester, Pennsylvania on April 21, 2012. It was inspired by a group of girls fundraising for the American Cancer Society. The true love expressed by youth gives hope. While I was working on the music and lyrics, I sat on a bench next to the youth. The above lyrics that are in quotes were taken from their conversations; however, I was still at a loss for a title. Then, I heard a voice say, “young love”.

This song is about co-operation making beautiful music. The left side of my body plays the guitar. The right side of my body plays the keyboards. The vocals try to find middle ground that makes the whole greater than the sum of the parts.

bookmark_borderAudience Appreciation Index

It has been quite some time since I’ve posted about the Tunesmith Adventures. That doesn’t mean I haven’t been thoroughly enjoying the audiences. I have been. Though I would like to film more of the adventures, live subjects can be tricky.

Anyway, the audiences have been great. One of my favorite times was in the Spring of 2011. I was sitting at the corner of Ridge and Butler in Ambler, Pennsylvania. A school bus with tinted windows stopped at the light in front of me. I thought the bus was empty and just kept playing my heart away. All of a sudden, a bunch of the windows opened and all these kids started screaming and clapping. Wow! What a thrill.

Nick Does a Flip While I Play Jigging Music

Speaking of thrills, there seems to be an outbreak of people inspired to do *human tricks* whenever I start playing my jigging music. The Spring of 2012 has brought many a thrill seeker. Several interesting characters have co-operated in West Chester, Pennsylvania to bring great entertainment to the people. There is a guy that likes to do bike tricks over my head… and another fellow, Nick, who likes to do flips and jumps off the adjacent wall… sometimes it will just be a group of children ranging in ages from 2 to 92 that breakout into a spontaneous dance troupe. You all are more fun than Vaudeville, a sideshow, and a 3-ring circus all rolled into one.

I thank each and every one of you. From those who come up because they feel compelled to offer me money, to those who roll down their windows shouting out with a wave and a smile — THANK YOU!

Sincerely,
Daniel Brouse
