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

A Child Looks On as I Write the Song

LYRICS
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
We’re the preschool of rock

ABOUT THIS SONG
Capo 6 (Bb)
Play like an Am9
Walk fingers across the fret to lower notes
Am9 / D

Written and recorded in West Chester, Pennsylvania on Mother’s Day, May 13, 2012.

The song was inspired by my biggest fans when I play on the street — the children.

Imagine all the heroes
Getting together
From zero
Hero + hero + hero + hero….
The sum of the parts
Results in the hearts
Of the super heroes

Oh oh oh oh oh oh
We come to know
Superhero

Imagine all the zeros
Adding up to more than nothing
Imagine all the humans
In perfect harmony as they sing

Chorus

Baby birds flapping their wings
Parting with land
As they understand
How to fly
As they understand… why

LYRICS
The graduate
Moving up the ladder a bit
The graduate
Rung by rung
The world’s stage
Your skit

The graduate
Moving up the ladder a bit

The ruler of time
Measures your age
The impact you make
Whether you’re a hit

The graduate
Moving up the ladder a bit

The ruler of time
Deems you — sage
The more you create
The brighter you lit
The graduate
Moving up the ladder a bit

LYRICS
Puttin’ on the new shoes tonight
Steppin’ on the red carpet’s alright
Wish I may, wish I might
Make that silver screen shine bright

My Dear
World premiere
Making moving pictures
Movie star’s in my future
Wish I may, wish I might
Make that silver screen shine bright

Mirror, mirror, on the wall
First star I see tonight
Wish I may, wish I might
Make that silver screen shine bright

Puttin’ on the new dress — formal ball
Everybody’s trying to call
[Have my agent take their name
While I try n’ stay sane]

Red carpet and silver screen
For my motion picture’s opening scene
Wish I may, wish I might
Make that silver screen shine bright

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

Though are views are parallel
We must bend to meet

Idea

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.

Dreaming of making love all night
Dreaming of making love
Dreaming of making love all night

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

Dreaming of making love all night

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”.

LYRICS
(Special guest appearance by Toucan the Dog: guard dog growl)

The Gummi Bears are at a loss for words
But, they’d like to convey a message if they may?
They’re picking up swords

As we melt them, a lass,
They’re forming a mass (a giant mass)
Giant Gummi Bear goo
They’ll be rolling over you

Goo from every orifice
Goo from every pore
Gummi Bear all over you face
Gummi Bear, ’till you’re chokin’, “No more!”

Major Tom,
What went wrong?
Did you song
Get eatin’ by the machine?

No need to punish your ma
Do you know what I mean?
Bring out your do ra me fa
Chances are you’ll go far
Come clean from the obscene
Dance with a star
You know?
Shakin’ like tremolo
Moving in stereo
(Life’s the same
It’s inside of you
It’s all about you
It’s within and without)

Life’s the same
If you’re lame
Life will never be the same
Now, I know the game
Been moved by stereo
Welcome — The New Beauty Machine.
Welcome. Now, we’re the machine

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.

LYRICS
Why not just say who you are
Is it really, really that hared?

Yes, once you go back that far
It becomes harder to find the word

A father’s daughter
Becomes the Maiden of St. Peter
Why they called her Dodo I don’t know

It really is that hard to say who you are
A piece from here. A piece from there.
Making up something unique

Is being unique to be a freak?

Why not just say who you are?
Have you ever even given thought
As in what you are not?

Are you really, really that far…?

I whisper to myself these thoughts
And, how it applies to the have’s and the have not’s

ABOUT THE SONG
Capo 1 Am / C add pinky to the 6th string 4th fret

Written on the boulders of Saint Peter’s Village in Pennsylvania. They say the giant boulders were pushed the furthest south by a proceeding glacier during the ice age. If you look through a birds-eye-view, you can see rocks that resemble huge dinosaur pieces.

LYRICS
Travelin’ back
There’s no need for a time machine
Travelin’ back
Rollin’ up the consciousness stream

Upstream
To the top of the hill
A southern breeze dodges the trees
Taking away the water’s chill

Livin’ heaven’s dream

The Season of Passion

Eve takes a bite from Cupid’s apple
The passion fruit blossoms
The wind will enable
And, scatter their sum some
Until the current brings us back
To where we started from

Fourth Base .mp3 (free music download)

Though never a big league ball player, I do enjoy playing the All-American-Past-Time from time-to-time. The one thing that does come to mind is when a youngster is on base… and a bigger fellow hits a home run. You can yell, “Run to first.” You can yell, “Run to second.” You can yell, “Run to third.” However, if you yell, “Run home” you run the risk that the lad will do just that. Thus, the name of the song *Fourth Base*

ADDITIONAL LYRICS
You Might find it funny
But, you’re already home

There ya go strutting down the street
Always in search of your comfort zone
You don’t need to beat an easy feat
You’re never alone if you’re always at home
It’s within your reach… you don’t need to roam
You may find it funny, but you’re already home

No need to reach
No need to roam
Self teach
No moan

You might find it funny, but you’re already home

ABOUT THE SONG
Daniel — vocals, guitar
The song was written and recorded in Ambler and West Chester, Pennsylvania on an 8-track digital recorder. 1 track was used for guitar. 2 tracks were used for a stereo vocal track. 3 tracks were used for individual backing vocals. 2 tracks were used to create a stereo master mix.

The inspiration for the guitar lick and the lyrics came from the vibe of the people passing by.

Capo 6
Play an Em on the 11th fret… and let your finger wander.
