So, I start playing my Guild acoustic. However, the strings were new and had gone all slackish, meaning down a few tones. I liked what it sounded like and took them all off. I then restrung the gtr with super heavy guage acoustic strings. I then…

I almost thought I knew it, so very close to space and time
it almost makes me lose my mind
2 seconds closer to the, the moment fleeting thoughts are mine
so far away, so close
grasping, the memory, the secret, divine
I never knew that someday…

the future is uncertain as certain people know
the road behind as vague as the one before us
certain singularities seem less certain every day
the road less traveled once so clear has simply gone away

This is quite an old track that got abandoned because I didn't feel it was right or going anywhere.

We use R.Kelly as an example for how easily we're willing to spend a year watching a trial involving urine and the celebrities that are careless with it. We have given up on the news reporting on subjects of value that actually have an impact…

To protect and serve their corporate masters, cops have been getting away with massive atrocities on the streets of our lovelorn cities, this is a little stab at their black and white world of corruption and double standards.

Inspired by a vision of someone dousing the flames of a burning flag by pissing on it.
We've been letting certain fat cats piss all over our freedom, we shouldn't forget that freedom is not a privilege it is a right, those dastardly bastards…

Certain technology has made us soft and slow and easily distracted and though it started out as a way to make things easier for everyone, it has turned into laziness, and we don't even use that extra time for anything of value anymore.

Lyric:
SHE
She,
Shes never far away from me.
She always gives me what I need.
So that I never want.
She,
She never strays too far from home.
She rarely leaves me all alone.
She's my whole world.
She,
She watches over me.

This great old (Public Domain) song by Stephen Foster which I just do and has nothing to do with my current state of life but may not be true for others.

Another Irish classic. This song tells the story of a group of pub regulars who, upon learning that the pub is on fire, head to the cellar to drink all the booze. You know, cuz it's free that way. What's a few burns?

This was the song that launched the entire SHAM ROCK album. This is what happens when you turn up the tempo, crank the volume, and add a horn section.
As with most of these songs, we came up with our own music to add to these songs. So, the…
