LYRICS
Everyone knows how it feels to be the bad man
From a badland
They understand
But do you know how it feels to be a good man
Up on the bandstand
Free! In command
Let the music poor/pour from you
Pour some more
Let the music poor/pour from you
’till it flows all over me, too
No one wants to feel mistreated
Repeated… in the same grade
Rather feel elevated
Elated… we’ve got it made
Let the music poor/pour from you
Pour some more
Let the music poor/pour from you
’till it flows all over me, too

LYRICS
It’s only raining under the cloud
Don’t feel the need to feel proud
Step out from under your cloud
And rise above
Feel the shine of love
Rise, rise above
Start to shine your love
Warmhearted polish applied liberally
Servanthood relish supplied happily
Good-heart polish buffed with glee
Rise, rise above
Feel the shine of love
Rise, rise above
Start to shine your love
Shine your love, baby
I try to it regularly / frequently
Put on a fine, fine shine
And let the world know you glow
Play some music and play it loud
Got the spirit… well endowed
Come now, girl, out from under the cloud
Put on a fine shine
Rise, rise above
Feel the shine of love
Rise, rise above
Start to shine your love

LYRICS
I’m sure going to miss this
No candy canes at Christmas
The devil has them away
There’ll be no sugar on Christmas Day
Go figure
Hostage to shortage
For the holiday
There’s no gas in the tank
No rubber for the wheels
Still we thank God that Christmas feels
Yank our hopes from depths sank
Go figure
Hostage to shortage
For the holiday
Poor Santa
Can’t even bring us coal
But I won’t cry to Ma or Pa
Love can fill our stockings hole
ABOUT THE SONG

Chords: C G C D / C D C D G
Recording: digital 8-track stereo
Instrumentation: Vocals, Guitar
I was listening to my mother being interviewed about her life. During World War II, she was a little girl (5 to 8-years-old.) The war brought about many shortages including gas, rubber and sugar.

LYRICS
Had to beg my brother
For a little sugar
Had to make the sugar
Last a little further
Trying to make the gas last
Toothpaste tubes into shrapnel
Ice cream treat rare and special
Had to beg my brother
For a little sugar
Had to make the sugar
Last a little further
He would rather not bother
Chances were slim with him
Had to beg my brother
For a little sugar
Had to make the sugar
Last a little further
Remembering the war that passed
Reminiscing life in the past
Reminiscing the scene
December seven… miles from heaven
On a date with infamy
Render “we shall never surrender”
And join our warring family
Remembering the obscene scene
The head of a little girl will fill
With the sound of sirens from an air raid drill
And over head, as the little girl goes to sleep at night
Search lights fueling the fright
Is that right?
That’s not right
Right?
Finally, all the way to the light of day
I scream…
Ice cream
The head of a little girl will fill with an ice cream chill
Ice cream in our freezer — a better day
As the thoughts of a little girl fill
Gone is feeling fear that way
ABOUT THE SONG

Rhythm: 67 –> 81 BPM
Recording: digital 15-track stereo
Instrumentation: Vocals, Keyboards and Synthesizers
I was listening to my mother being interviewed about her life. During World War II, she was a little girl (5 to 8-years-old.) After remembering all the shortages and difficulties, she recalled not having felt that fear again. The United States has felt safe and secure for the rest of her life.
During the war period, a horse drawn carriage would bring a block of ice for the refrigerator. It wasn’t until after the war that the family could get an electric refrigerator and freezer for ice cream.
December 7, 1941 — “a date which will live in infamy,” President Franklin D. Roosevelt
“We shall never surrender,” Winston Churchill (4 June 1940)
The music turned out to be inspired by Pink Floyd’s The Wall.

It’s cold enough to snow
But will it add up?
You know

The arrival of a cold front
But will it add up?

But will it add up?

LYRICS
Let the bells ring
May the angels sing
Please God anything
Is Christmas near?
Let the bells ring
May the angels sing
Please God something
Is Christmas near?
Is Christmas here?
Please bring Christmas cheer
Do wise men follow The Star
If so wonder… wander how far
Are shepherds awoken from sleep
So that they might take a peep
Did the wisemen make it further
Did the Virgin Mary break hear water
Has the King Of King’s yet been born
When will we ever learn
Is Christmas here yet
Another year with no regret
Is Christmas here yet
Another year I’ll never forget

LYRICS
No matter how tough it might seem
Don’t ever give up your dream
It’s not karma that’s being mean
Don’t ever give up your dream
It’s the scene coming clean
Cleanse the filth and obscene
Relinquish to the sweet dream
I’m aware…
I don’t care for your nightmare
Gleam of a sunbeam
Sweet dream
Per diem conscious stream
Everyday sweet dream

Nature is giving us all the signs to forecast our future. The same techniques used in weather forecasting can be applied to political forecasting.
“The leaves of deciduous trees, like maples and poplars, do often turn upward before heavy rain. The leaves are actually reacting to the sudden increase in humidity that usually precedes a storm.”
“The butterfly effect is the concept that small causes can have large effects. Initially, it was used with weather prediction but later the term became a metaphor used in and out of science.
In chaos theory, the butterfly effect is the sensitive dependence on initial conditions in which a small change in one state of a deterministic nonlinear system can result in large differences in a later state.”
