LYRICS
Just listen to your heart
Listen to your head
Listen to your soul
And go, go, go

You know you’ve gotta listen to your heart
Listen to your head
Listen to your soul
And go, go, go

Let the creative juices flow
Usher in a gusher
Put your blood in the flood
A you n’ me tsunami
Reign like a hurricane

LYRICS

Chorus
If you play like you should
You know you’ll be good
If you say that you would
You’ll rock the neighborhood

The people will stand. The people will stare.
Amazed that you are really there
The people will clap. The people will yell.
Oh, yeah! Then, you’ll be able to tell

Chorus

The kids will sing… the children dance
All the can’s can. There’ll be no cant’s
There’s no surprise. The cream will rise.
Come ride the ride of our rising tide

Chorus

ABOUT THE SONG
The most inspiring thing happened — I was sitting on the wall of the old courthouse writing this song, when a lady came over to me and said, “You’re good!”

Say something nice?
Please say it twice
Might as well go all out
And give it a shout

Went out of your way
Just so you could say
Nice

Putting a smile
On your fact
Lifts us a mile
Your Earth’s grace

ABOUT THE SONG
This song was inspired by people on the street. As I was writing the song in front of the old courthouse in West Chester, PA, a lady went out of her way to say, “Nice!” Then, a young girl walked by… turning her neck like an owl with an ear-to-ear smile.

LYRICS
The scene I’m seeing — extreme
Obscene… we’d let it get to this point
Whose regret… the point of no return

Polar vortex hex on the East
Brave the heat wave on the West
At least…
Someone suggest, “Try our best!”

From what I’ve seen — extreme
I mean… talk about a butt joint
Someone shout, “Before the edge, turn!”

ABOUT THIS SONG
This song is about extreme weather events and human induced climate change. The day it was written and recorded the East and West coasts of the USA where acting bi-polar. The East was getting hammered with a snowstorm and polar vortex… while the West was on fire in a heat wave.

LYRICS
Just a simple man?
I don’t know if I am
Can only tell you
What I know is true

My attitude
Is servitude
To all
Be it greater than me

If the solitude of solicitude
Is getting to you
You’d stand tall
In Harmony
And want to be

Open your heart and see

Just a simple life
I don’t know if that’s what we live
Until love is rife
Bare your soul and give

LYRICS
Hello, can you see
I am here to hear
You know… please let me
Help make it clear

Give it a verbal x-ray
With the words we say
Exposing the weakness
In hate and cowardice

With laser precision
Enact the decision
Shave her with an x-ray-zor
Use your word sword
’tis best
To lay it to rest

Goodbye
Aye Aye,
Matey
In conclusion, the solution, too
You were able to bring them to
The End

Helps give you surround stereo
The double neck guitar
Bound to take you twice as far

The, the, the size may be scary
It’s all part of the big band theory

Let me tell you a story,
5-string bass
To melt your face
Even a timpani drum
Just for rhythm section fun

(Though) the size may be scary
It’s all part of the big band theory

That’s my story

Ugh… I meant it

Look! There’s a hole in my head so that I can see out
And, just for fun… God gave me another one

Turning the night into the light

Listen! There’s a hole in my head so that my ear can hear
God’s my hero, two… for giving me stereo

I get to surround my mind in sound

Sing! There’s a hole in my head so that I can shout out
May we teach… all we can reach

I get to say… thank you for this day

Thank Super Ego

Hopefully, most of the time
The rhyme suits the crime
That is how I hope they’ll think of me
What I’ve been trying to be
