Florencia - I would telll you the chords

I can feel it in my blood
Here I am in South beach Florida
Just like you knew I would

In 1984 George Sluizer, a Dutch director filmed RED DESERT PENITENTIARY in and around Sweetwater, Texas. This is the theme song of the lead character, Danny McMann. I played that role in the movie and wrote the music to the film.

I have always liked both the music and the words to Danny's Theme from day one. It only gets better the more I hear it once again from year to year. kEren

This utterly, utterly hits the spot. Shivers down the spine music for me.
The bass and the guitars, the backing vocals, the minimal lyrics, the way you bring it to a close...
Wonderful.
SOLITARY WALK
I am a child of Judah
and the mark of Cain is on me
I am a fugitive in every place I go.
and my name is Joseph Friedman
and I tend the olive orchards
on a hillside just a short walk from my home.
There, the silver trunks…

Well, I got one on the porch and I got one in the den

I rock off to sleep and I dream…

Just thinking about Happiness. Thinking about how she said she was leaving because she wanted to be happy.

A fleeting spark that fades as the memory is made…

NO NEW LOVE
Ain't no new love like an old love in this town

Ain't no…

THEN, I did what came to be called my Night Ride thru Woodlake. Dad suspected it was me. Galloping down one street off Main at 3 AM got the attention of a few.
There is nothing like the presence of a horse. The quiet understanding. The gentle strength.
Woodlake, California...1961. I had a horse. She was my friend.
There were times in my teens when Babe was the only being that did not judge me…
This is a well written song
