Is This Where We Want To Be?

One night I was seated in a lounge chair in my back yard when the thought ocurred to me. This is nice, but is this all there is? Is this the reason I work? Is this the reason I pay bills... (more)

Far Too Easy

This is probably the darkest song I've ever done, at least as far as lyrical tone goes. Sometimes life just doesn't seem worth the effort. Then I look at my lovely bride and realize that it is.

Numbers On A Page

Another angry song. My boss once handed me a spreadsheet about cost prices from vendors and said "I don't like the way this looks". I wondered if the upper management looked at salary costs the same way, and that led to this song.

Sow And Reap

Another tale of my life. It started when I saw a homeless man standing at the end of an exit ramp. He was holding a cardboard sign and accepting "donations". I wondered if that would be me before long... (more)

I Can't Sleep

For me, one of the side effects of unemployment is insomnia. I am the kind of person who worries about things, and often that worry extends into the night time hours. I sang this after a particularly... (more)

Intro (My True Love)

Contains language.

This, or at least the second part of it, was originally going to form part of a comedy opera I would never have finished in a million years. Couldn't resist putting it... (more)

Don't Stay With Me

Original song written by Terry Beckett of Endicott Road.

I Do That

(Beckett 2009)

Old fashioned love affair

(Beckett 2009)

More than you will know

Because we all need more ooh lalalas.

(Beckett 2009)

Fire Dancer

Thank God… something up-beat. One of my colleagues has THE party of the year on Labor Day weekend every year, and I play around the bonfire from dusk until everyone is unconscious… and the ladies like to dance.

The Last of You I'd See

Exorcising an old demon. Eight or ten years ago, one of my ninth grade students came up with a permanent solution to a temporary problem on Halloween night. He was the last kid I had... (more)

Circles and Seasons

In 1979, my father came home from the record store with an album that forever changed my life, Pete Seeger’s Circles & Seasons. Before I knew Pete to be the blacklisted folk icon that... (more)

Dangerous Truth

Written while watching a good friend going through the run-up to a divorce. This song isn’t a whole lot of fun, and for that I apologize… But when all you have is twenty-eight days, you have to go with what you’ve got.

Across the Great Divide

What started as an interesting hiking concept that I contrived for my sister’s next trip out “Hey, what if you climbed up Sleeping Beauty Mountain and I climbed up Shelving Rock. We... (more)

When We Were Together

A lost love kind of story.

Numbers On A Page

Another angry song. My boss once handed me a spreadsheet about cost prices from vendors and said "I don't like the way this looks". I wondered if the upper management looked at salary costs the same way, and that led to this song.

Change Of Luck

This is the most hopeful of the songs on the new album. I just decided one day to say "to hell with it, they're not gonna get me down!".
