I heard this kid say the moon looked like a tortilla
Some people say they can see a man in the moon
But I know, if you look just right, you can see the face of Marylin Monroe
Yeah, when the moon first comes up it looks like a…

The falling leaves, dead Everleys are pulling at my heart.
My quest for rationality, I canāt even start.

GONE - My sequester song...
Chain wrapped around the dog park gate
Weeds growing on the school yard lawn
Where has everybody gone
The chairs are stacked
And the stage is dusty
And my strings are getting rusty...

BECAUSE OF YOU
Because of you, I took her picture off the wall
Because of you, I packed her skate board and her clock
Because of you, I stashed it all behind the couch
Because of you, I'll never have to throw it out
I know with you that…
MOTHER'S EYES
I used to chide my mother
She saw the loss in every face
The cemetery. The old folks home
along the way
I used to laugh at Mother
She saw the pain in every eye
Now time has passed
and Mom is gone and here am I
And…

Her name was Rosemarie Jean and I have lost contact with her. She wrote the poem I turned into Beneath the August Moon.
I SAW ROSE AGAIN TODAY
I saw Rose again today
And I recognized the way
My heart reached out

I wrote this one lonely afternoon in San Anselmo, California at my friend, Eric's house. Missing Peggy.
NIGHT TIME DREAMS
It's a long way to Texas. Further to Tennessee
I'm out here in California with nobody but me
So, I'm thinkin' about…
THE BUDS AND BLOSSOMS
I've been meaning to write you a letter
But I did not know what I would say
I've been thinking about you and your new love
And wishing that there was a way...
And the buds and the blossoms remind me of you today…

THE CHILD WITH THE BEAUTIFUL NAME

What remains of an eagle that's fallen
The roots of an oak tree now claim
To draw sap for the shade for the cattle

Firstly, W O W ! ! I wonder what inspired this. Reminded me of a neighbor, whose 3 yr old Grandaughter drowned in their pool, several yrs ago. The mother was selected in top 10, for Miss TX pageant. Beautiful Girl. Changed everything for their family. Very Sad. I have to say, You, SIR are very talented !! Writing, descriptive- phrasing, lyricism, vocally, musically, & the oration was Spot On !! I'm Truly Impressed !! I will definitely check out your other work, soon. After I finished listening, I had to clear my throat & wipe my eyes, before trying to think about what I could say. It was moving, touching, interesting, & left me deeply moved. Very Sad, but Very Awesome & Well-Done, in every sense. Thanks, Brother.
I never sing this song the same two times in a row.
The lyric below is pretty close to how I sing it now.
Listening again, this is an awful version of this song...
I have my recording machine working again...I must redo this.

I'm going to agree with your assessment, I've heard you do this song in person dozens of times and this is not one of your better versions. I think I'm going to blame it on the equipment.
Still struggling with this one...

A quick song I made up out of nowhere, hence the title "Somewhere out there" LOL... Everything you hear is me apart from the drums, as usual. I hope you enjoy my bedroom recording... Warm regards, Anna

What program are you using.
It aint like no ones done this before But how can you tire of beautiful chords That really says it.
Takes me back to the late 60s.
Right up there with YOU GOT ME.

So lush. That 1968 vibe again. Is this several people or are you doing it all?
Welcome to our little family. What a big full sound! Very nice blend. Very interesting combination of sounds. It's very 1968.
ASK CODY! It's what he told me. We report. You decide.
intriguing story deserves further developement
That ELO comment was supposed to go here.
ELO all over the place.
Love the blend of voices. Very Beatlesque.
...and tell us more about yourself in the profile.
Please include the words. I want to hear every word. Beautiful.
Love the naked voices...harmony.
Beautiful...there are places the voice and instruments merge.
That's cool. Lots of layers. 3D.
It really has that driving-down-the-blvd feel.
Very blusey. Great guitar sound.
