Don't tell me the sky is falling You're gonna break my heart You look just like a friend I had But I don't remember you Come with me You'll be safe in my arms I'll hide you away Your mom won't know Your dad won't care Your sister's…

This almost sounds like an actual song. :D Video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Qnzr5JxdOY

I see you laughing in the sunlight, Her hand wrapped up in yours so tight. And I stand here in the shadows, Swallowing words I’ll never say. I've loved you since the world was younger, Since the stars were just a dream. But fate ain't…

Anchored Through the Storm Chorus: I am no stranger to the world, Through Christ, I've walked through fire and stand. I've felt the sting of deepest pain, Yet hope still whispers through the rain, For I am anchored in His name. (2x…

Early Saturday 22 MARCH 2025 inspiration. Playing my custom red telecaster made by James Sanscrainte (thanks Jim!). Also used my Washburn acoustic and Gretsch bass. Needs some re-arranging and vocals. More to come!

I’m a long way from home Open road in front of me What’s lost when you think you feel free Feels like something missing I left it with you Must be a piece of me I don’t know what is about this town It’s dragging me down dragging me down…

"Fire on the Sand" Golden sun is sinking low, Waves are singing soft and slow. And there she moves, wild and free, Like a flame upon the sea. Her auburn hair, it catches light, Burning bright against the night. Barefoot spinning, hearts…

“Coffee in the Rain” Drops are falling on my cup so plain Mixing coffee with the sky's champagne Clouds are whispering secrets in the air Every sip tastes like I’m halfway there Umbrella's broken but I don’t care Shoes are soaked but…

"Turn Away to See" The city's noise, the flashing lights, They paint a world in black and white. But somewhere past the neon glow, There's something deeper we should know. Close your eyes, step aside, Feel the silence open wide. Sometimes…

“Red Wine” Good times good friends good weekend Good red wine goin' in Like the water in a river Like the tide at the end of the day Red red red wine Runnin' through my mind Red red red wine Runnin' through my mind You're a runaway…

"May It Be Released" When the weight feels heavy, and the night is long, When your heart is weary, and the light feels gone, Take a breath, let go, let the river flow, May peace find you, let the healing grow. May anything that’s bothering…

A Walk along the beach The beach was deserted We walked at the water’s edge I knew she was a gift As close as our future steps Sunset forgot us While we discovered life’s Underformed questions Washing onto naked feet The wind rolled…

Let It Go I used to hold on like the tide to the shore, Fighting every wave, wanting something more. But some things don’t bend, and some things break, And peace don’t come ‘til you stop the ache. There’s a time to fight, a time to flow…

"Always There" I still set the table like you’ll walk through the door, Still hear your footsteps on that old wooden floor. The world kept turning, but mine stood still, You’re gone from sight, but I feel you still. There’s no goodbye…

This sonata was written in the wake of the COVID pandemic from 2021 to 2023. Its movements express my feelings about the madness of it all. Our world is unjust and only getting more terrifying with each passing year. May we find a way to overcome…
