Just In Time

Posted on February 26, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
What you see
Let it be

The seven seals
Were unsealed
The tusks
Untusked
The opening to the abyss
Among us
And, now we cause all the fuss

I guess it was the fuss
Because of the mess
I must confess
There should be a fuss about the mess caused by us
It’s not that you need to be a ruckus scientist
Or some sort-of brain surgeon… or even journalist
Trying to get a grasp on this reality TV that is thee… me

Let it be that what you see
Is the fusion
Of reality with your dream

Over Hill And Over Dale

Posted on February 26, 2013February 26, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
Over hill… over dale

You’ll never ever fail
Over hill. Over dale.
You’ll never ever fail
As long as you’re on the trail

Toward the least
Not the beast

In the long run (fun)
In the end (the message you send)
Over hill… over dale
Set sail
For your dream
And, it will seem

Over hill
Over dale
Over hill
Overdrive

You’re alive
If you strive
You can make what seems
Your dreams
A reality of your mortality
Make it the stage
Make it the moving picture production show
Make it strive and thrive while you’re alive

Over hill… over rough terrain…
What of you will remain?

Together Alone

Posted on February 26, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
The more we grow together
The more we need to stand alone
Maintain our identity
Refrain
Remain a strain

The more we grow together
The more we need to concede
A separate seed
For heredity we need identity
From a real gene pool
If we want the continuum
Together
Alone

Tomorrow the future will be
You’ll see
Together we grow alone

This carpet of grass
Time will pass
Our roots intertwine
And, we come to find
That we’re individual blades of grass
And, together we can harness

Together Alone.mp3

Dance Of Life

Posted on February 26, 2013February 26, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
If you start to doubt
Know that help is on its way
If you feel left out
Know you’ll see a better day

Chorus
We all break-out in the dance of life
Play guitar, fiddle or fife
We all break out in the dance of life
Love passes… like butter and a hot knife

Don’t part with devout
It really helps if you pray
Don’t feel you’re shut-out
Love will find you… there’s a way

Chorus

Carnival Cruise

Posted on February 25, 2013February 25, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
Do you think we’re living…
Living like we’re living on a Carnival cruise?
Situation
Lose – Lose – Lose

Feces falling floor to floor
Garbage piling toward the sky
Can’t stand living with ourselves. No more!
My, oh, my

Putrid smell you do abhor
Brings a tear makes you cry
Can’t stand living with ourselves any more
Living like a monkey

Did we embark on Noah’s Ark…
Or, did we ride to the darkside…
On a Carnival cruise

ABOUT THE SONG

Daniel — Vocals, Guitar, Keyboards

A 6-track stereo extemporaneous recording made in Chester County, Pennsylvania, United States of America. This song was inspired by the Carnival Cruise ship “Triumph”. The ship became stranded at sea for five days. The passengers complained about the poop running down the walls and living with the smell of their own garbage. It made me think about how the planet is like a giant cruise ship. Can we live with ourselves? Take the sustainability challenge.

Carry On Baggage

Posted on February 23, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
While attached to your baggage
Might as well find a home
While attached to your baggage
Looking for happiness… you’ll roam
’till the baggage fades away
There won’t be an easy way

As long as you carry the baggage
It won’t leave you alone
As long as you carry the baggage
You’ll never be at home

As the baggage fades away
You’ll find a new day
You’ll find the new day

She Is Alive

Posted on February 22, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
What will be your mark
What will be your relevance
Bringing people from the dark
While you have a presence

Wearing a white hat
Into mortal combat
None of us are getting out alive

What will be your mark
What will be your relevance
Bringing people from the dark
While you have a presence

Baring the attack
There’s no need to fight back
Mirrors of God survive
Mirrors of God alive

She Is Alive.mp3

Half Full

LYRICS
What’s your take on the take?
What do you make
Of your perspective?

Going reflective….

What’s your attitude on attitude
When it comes to people who are rude
Well, don’t get stuck in that rut
Come on! Give it from the gut

Hey! Hey! Hey!
We’re over half-way
Hey! Hey! Hey!
More than half of the way

’till our cup runneth over
’till our glass is full
’till there is no null… no, no null at all

Hey! Hey! Hey!
We’re over half-way
Hey! Hey! Hey!
More than half of the way

Do you have longitude
Do you have latitude
Well, don’t get stuck in that rut
(Adjusted attitude)
Come on! Give it from the gut

Hey! Hey! Hey!
We’re over half-way
Hey! Hey! Hey!
More than half of the way

The Speed Of Light

Posted on February 19, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
Is the wind wailing on me at the speed of light?
Or, is it me traveling at that rate of speed?
If it’s me,
At what speed
Are the headlights traveling
In front of me?

Is the light twice as bright?
Will relativity be forced to concede?
Lord, that amount of light will have to help us see
Hear the blind humanity’s plea!

Hear the blind humanity’s plea, please?

Embrace

Posted on February 18, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
If you’re having trouble finding a trace
Of humane in the human race
What’s you really need’s an embrace

Come to me
I will come to you
Put our arms around each other…
Put our arms around each other
For at least a minute or two

If you wish war would disarm
You feel the environment sound the alarm
What’s you really need’s to inarm

Be bold told enfold
Please give me a squeeze

If you’re having trouble finding a trace
Of humane in the human race
What’s you really need’s an embrace

Dancing In The Raise

LYRICS
Out of into phase
Daze and amaze
It’s in how you phrase
The truth of the charade
Parade!

Dancing in the rays
Dancing in the raise
These are the day
For dancing in the raise
Dancing in the ray’s raise

You move around
Swing your hips
As if to praise
You raise in the rays
Out of body bound
Astound!

LYRICS
Did I close my eyes
’cause I’m dreaming
Dreaming of you

It is no surprise
That I’m dreaming
Dreaming of being with you

Should realize
That you’re with me
Should see
That you’re with me
All the time
Valentine of mine

Will you be my valentine?

Where Did The Love Go?

Posted on February 13, 2013 by admin

LYRICS

Where did the love go?

Though all the promises
Rings and roses
Where did the love go?
With all the missed kisses
We’re building bridges
Where did the love go?

Throughout all of time
Goodness shall outshine
Instead of me and mine
We’re in the hour of our
In the era of our
Era of our hour
Our era hour

Where did the love go? (Right here!)

Though all the promises
Rings and roses
Where did the love go? (It’s right here!)
With all the missed kisses
We’re building bridges
Where did the love go? (It’s right here!)

Where did the love go?
Right here.

Janet

Posted on February 10, 2013February 11, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
Do you remember?

Climbing on my shoulders
Riding on my back
Kissing by the boulders
Sitting on my lap

Hiking on the hill
We made a bet for fun
But, before you could fulfill
Your life’s undone

Looking down from heaven
Do you remember?
Do you remember… living in days like these

With God’s grace given
I do remember.
I do remember… the memories please

Hiking on the hill
We made a bet for fun
But, before you could fulfill
Your life’s undone

Here we are holding hands
Who would ever understand?
That you could fulfill
That someday you will fulfill
That this day you can still fulfill

Janet Welch Love Song.mp3 (Demo Version)

ABOUT THE SONG
Chords — G Em
G Am D G

Written in Chester County, Pennsylvania and captured as a digital, stereo, extemporaneous recording. Demo MP3 is 1 track. Video is 6-tracks.

This song was inspired by one of my first girlfriends, Janet Welch of Clearfield, Pennsylvania. I sat down to write a song about Valentine’s Day and just started playing about love. This is what came out.

We were in high school… passing notes and falling in love. We made what I considered a great bet. She lost the bet; however, before she could fulfill her end of the bargain, she died in a car crash. Does a spirit live on?
