Two Beers Away From Calling You
Another ten o'clock, same beer, same bar.
Same old thoughts of calling you.
We burned that bridge so many times,
crossing it's the last thing I should do.
Your number's still here in my phone,
But I know theres…

I was listening to Billie Holiday and this idea popped into my head. I think this is more suited for a woman's voice, so I'll re-post when that's recorded.
You’d drop the needle careful
Like it might scare the blues away

Hello all, I've been doing FAWM, February Album Writing Month, so I haven't been getting back to you with listens and comments, my apologies. Writing 14 songs in a month tends to limit you doing much else. I highly recommend it though…

I'm a madman roaring down this rain-slicked road
Top down, laughing, rain slaps like the hand of God
Left you barefoot, summer-haired, watching me go
Like a beautiful flower I should've picked
a long, long time ago
Pre-Chorus:

One mile over the line again
and I know
if I look over my shoulder I'll see you
on the other side.
could be I've lost my mind again
does it show?
if I look into the mirror will I see me
cause I'd like to hide
Chorus
don't look at…

Ok. More covers. This song has always meant something to me. Probably the same thing it meant to David.
Vocal was recorded while playing the piano so it's a bit iffy.
Here's my "super professional studio" for interest and posterity…

Another great tune from good ol' Brian.
Original guitarist Keith is back to sprinkle a little magic on this song, upping the quality to levels that go beyond great...well past my own usual half-assed efforts. It won't be long before they kick…

G/Bm - C9
Here we stand, hand in hand
Staring over the edge
Not the way we planned it
But what we have in the end
When the waves were crashing
How were we to know
That nothing would be the same
When we…

When you're younger,
you're everything or so it seems
Then you start becoming a ghost in the years between
People say things about you like
"He was always so nice"
"Such a good guy" , "Such a shame"
or " he always…

I wrote this when the cliche's were still new and dirt was rocks. Keith Richards was still pretty old though.

Play it loud where you can dance!
Boom Boom Girl (c) Nick Torres 9/25/25
She struts in with a kick
A snap
A spin
Eyes like fire
You know she always wins
Boom-boom girl
Got the whole world spinnin'
She’s got that boom-boom

(Week 5 of 52)
Put my suitcase in the back seat
I know you couldn't change my mind
But all that glitters, all that shines
Never felt like it was mine
Learned the train lines, dives and bars
Learned to sleep with honking cars
But all the…

The Light Still Holds 12-13-25 (c) Nick Torres
This year was hard, I won't lie
Lost some things I can't get back
But tonight the fire burns
in this room where we all gather
Snow coming down outside
but we're all warm tonight

used to know your breathing
in the dark beside me
now the nights repeating
all my faults and broken dreams

You say "We look happy here"
Pointing at a picture frame
My arm around your shoulder
all this happiness, never any pain
Your mom pinned it on the fridge
Called it "perfect finally"
But no one saw you later
yelling "This is killing me…

I walked in and you were wearing that red dress
Said you bought it from a second-hand store
someone said it didn’t fit, it wasn’t right
someone didn’t want it anymore
I said: "Baby That's like me and you
'Cause once I didn’t fit and it broke…

Beautiful song. I'm curious what a smoke-aged female (thinking 1930's lounge singer here, complete with cigarette holder and slouch hat) would sound like, but you sound great on this especially on the chorus. The melody is haunting and addicting. Keep your vocal on it IMO.
