Eat Your Heart Out

Posted on November 20, 2012 by admin

LYRICS
Dangling from a thread
Starting to weave a web
Around me
Want the last drop of blood
To satisfy the greed
Concede… see it will never be

Don’t try to feed the greed
Start to feed the heart
Create a flood of blood
And, the world will feed

Eat Your Heart Out.mp3

Veterans Of The Christmas Wars

Songwriting In Chester County, PA — Writing Christmas Music In Chester County, PA

LYRICS
Fighting for your attention
For your dollar’s collection
Fighting to take, take, take
Leaving giving in the wake

A veteran of the Christmas Wars
Putting the greedy behind bars
Better yet, take no prisoners
That can’t be dedicated followers

Playing on your emotion
But, on closer inspection
Fighting to take, take, take,
Try giving “for heaven’s sake!”

A veteran of the Christmas Wars
Your medal is to shine like the stars
Enlightening the universe for ever and ever
’till such time as God’s love ends… never!

Slaying all your religion
Raping Mary, The Virgin
Ripping the heart out of Christmas
Is war strategy for defeat… demise I surmise… alas

If anybodys need a a public service announcement
It’s this encampment
That embodies the establishment

Posted on November 16, 2012 by admin

LYRICS
1, 2, 3, 4
1, 2, 3, for what do we dance?
1, to what do we dance?

Bark it out
Don’t be afraid
Make a sound
Be found… out

Bark it out

Don’t be afraid
You are what you made
Now, make of it what you will
Shake it… better still

1, 2, 3, 4 what are we dancing for?

Dance a suspense dance (can’t wait to anticipate)
Dance a surveillance dance (see if there’s a scene gleam)
Dance an independence dance
Dance a reverence dance
Dance to thank God we’ve got a chance to dance!

1, 2, 3, for what? 1, 2, 3, 4 what do we dance for?
Dance for what
Jump about
Electrify I. Give Watt! (see your energy)

In The Nether

Posted on November 16, 2012 by admin

LYRICS
Now it’s time to go to sleep. Good night.
Go to sleep
Now it’s time to dream of dreams
See scenes from realms seldom seen

Sleep comes creepin’ in
The day-life ends just in time for the night’s to begin

Now it’s time to search real deep
Not it’s time to dream a scene
Of the future… what is yet to come
The Age Grandeur when we come together… become
The Age Grandeur when we come together
In the nether

ABOUT THE SONG

Written and recorded on November 11 and 15, 2012 in West Chester, Pennsylvania. The music started as I sat at the piano after the session was over.

LYRICS
The clouds moved out of the way
’cause the mountains had something to say

When trouble is at bay
Conveyancing will outweigh
Why move mountains?

Through our valley let peace roll in

Chasing Rays

Chasing Rays.mp3 (Free MP3 Download or Streaming Audio)

LYRICS
In these days, we’re all chasing rays (we’re all chasing rays)
In the fray of the day, we’re chasing rays

Searching high and low
Where did the day light go

There should have daylight savings
But, we kept shaving and shaving and shaving
Until there was barely splintered sunlight left

It’s not alright when there’s nothing left

It there’s a shadow in the way
There’s a way to flesh out a ray
What do you say
Let’s step out into the light
Alight? Alright!

In these days, we’re all chasing rays (we’re all chasing rays)
In the fray of the day, we’re chasing rays

ABOUT THE SONG
A / D / A
Bm7 / G / E

Written and recorded on November 9, 2012 in Chester County, PA. It was the first sunny day and warm enough to play guitar outside in a long time. It was also the first nice day since the start of daylight savings. So… I wanted to catch the last rays as the sun started to set. Lack of sunlight tends do cause depression; therefore, I suggest you try catching rays.

Start Of Times

Posted on November 10, 2012November 10, 2012 by admin

LYRICS
You better run n’ get your daughter
You better run n’ get your son
You better run n’ get your mother
Before darkness follows the setting sun

’cause the End Of Times is looming near
The wretched are dooming in fear

You better run n’ get your daughter
You better run n’ get your son
You better run n’ get your mother
Before darkness follows the setting sun

There’s a bend in time we’re zooming clear
The righteous are bounding. How queer?

You better run n’ get your daughter
You better run n’ get your son
You better run n’ get your mother
Before darkness follows the setting sun

The Start Of Times is looming near
Leaving hate far behind… in the rear

Wood Of

Hurricane Sandy — Tree Fell on Electric Lines in Montgomery County, PA

LYRICS
Did that tree just try to kill me?

Many dead… mostly from trees.

Geeze.. giving them disease… creatin a deadly breeze.

Using limb to clobber him from limb to limb
Crushing homes and transportation
Because of our past deviation violation

The fall of the trees
Due to the human disease
The revenge of the woods
Due to too many would-of’s, could-of’s and shoulds
Due to too many wood-of shoulds

ABOUT THE SONG

Written and recorded on October 31, 2012 in West Chester, PA during the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. Many scientists believe humans have caused severe volatility to the weather systems. Quite a few scientist also believe humans are causing deforestation. Now, are we getting what we deserve?

Over And Over

Posted on November 1, 2012November 1, 2012 by admin

You know it must be going over and over in her head

If she ever comes to realize… what she did
Then, you know it’s gotta be going over and over and over
In her head

Must be hard to live with yourself
Over and over in head… over and over and over again
As long as you’re living a life of sin

Over and over again
When you’re livin’ a life of sin… livin’ a life of sin… livin’ a life of sin

It was so out-of-this-world
That it couldn’t have bee real
I mean… what’s your deal

Over and over and over and over again
Gotta re-live that sin
Until you was it clean
Until you’re void of mean

Over and over and over and over and over and over again
Over and over in your head
For all eternity… long after you’re dead
Do you at least regret what you said?

Until you do you do
Likely, be living it over and over and over again
Gotta rid that sin

Must be hard to live with yourself
Over and over in head… over and over and over again
As long as you’re living a life of sin

ABOUT THE SONG
Em / G / Am

Written and recorded Halloween, October 31, 2012. Halloween is suppose to be a day in which the spirit world and the human world co-mingle. What if your evil spirit was in your head every day? You have got to get rid of it… do you know the way? Then, you’ll be living in blessed bliss.

The song was written and recorded on-the-fly in an impromptu, extemporaneous style.

The New Old Part 2

Posted on October 31, 2012October 31, 2012 by admin

Shark swimming in the streets of Margate, NJ during Hurricane Sandy:

LYRICS
Devastating.
The scene…
Devastated.
Do you devastate?

Some irate primate altered our state.

Nevertheless,
We found a way to make music play

As if God added an eighth day

The New Old Part 2.mp3

ABOUT THE SONG
Dub Step

Written and recorded on October 7 and 30, 2012 in West Chester, Pennsylvania. I found the basic track on the digital recorded. It must have been left over from the October 7 recording session. Since the name of the album is The New Old, I added some lyrics about Hurricane Sandy. She pretty much re-arranged the old into the new normal. And, though it was a devastating event, there was a silver lining to the storm. It was if God created an eighth day in the week filled with the comfort of music.

Oh, yeah… the part about the irate primate… that is anyone who has helped create the Frankenstorm… that is anyone who has contributed to volatile weather through human induced climate change.

Vanity Fair

Posted on October 24, 2012 by admin

LYRICS
On display at a vanity fair
Not sure if you’re aware
On display at a vanity fair
Not sure you’re even there

Is your mirror on straight
Or, is that your crooked smile
Your pompousness just can’t wait
And, the crooked smile could use a file
The indifferent or punishing look
Shows a streak of mean style
Using every stinkin’ dirty trick in the book
Good luck, Baby… lookin’ forward to your trial

No need to strain for you to be vain

On display at a vanity fair
Not sure if you’re aware
On display at a vanity fair
Not sure you’re even there
