Lyrics: I’ll stand above this cliff And offer up my soul Would there be an end to pain To jump in to this hole Could this be goodbye If there’s a light below me Will it set me free Could I fly today Is this my only option Close…

A new track I made a few weekends ago.

Reg was talking to Elvis about Frank and he told him something he didn't know.you can have it all then at the end not remember it which is what happened to Frank the grind ground him down a sad ending for a great man......Dementia is a cruel end…

Guitars: Alina Yudaeva Composed, arranged & mixed by Steffen Offermann This never turned out like I wanted it to be because I could not find a real drummer and bassist for it. But at least Alina was kind enough to play the lead guitar…

This one's for Johnny, who encouraged me to record this country-ish version, it's one-take, warts and all.

Sassy Nation version! Sister Savage and Mr Sandbags collaborated on the original of this wonderful heartbreaker of a song. I've been playing it on the guitar the last few days and it always seemed to come out with a grittier tone, so i asked…

Covers of some of my favorite songs

To conclude the album, here is the title track in a full band setting, featuring the great Rob Wirensjo on a riveting piano and also Hank Johnzon doing a jazzy pedal. The arrangement is a little reminiscent of turn of the 19th century can-can…

This is an oldie. Recorded in 2005. It was the first recording I finished on a DAW, but I'd played it a lot in the last band I was in (around the turn of the century). I think it was written in the mid 90s. It's about one of the casualties of…

Recorded this as an affirmation that no matter what may transpire I will still want the love of those dear to me. Even in my darkest hour I still recognize that there is a light within all that reminds us of love!

A very basic version of this wonderful song.

I remember weekends thinking we could last forever I remember everything that you said was so clever I remember our hearts fading like a burning ember I remember wishing that our ties would soon be severed I remember why I left you This…

A test track of sorts. I typically mix a track, bounce it out to my ipod and then go for a drive. The stereo in my truck is kind of boomy and if I get the bass wrong, I'll hear about it. This has been a matter of a certain amount of guesswork…

"High Life" is a musical genre that originated in Ghana in the 1900s and spread to Sierra Leone, Nigeria and other West African countries by 1920. My friends from that part of the world consider this be the "go-to" rhythm for just about anything…

This is a remake of Samba do Bonde, now with portuguese lyrics. A loose translation below: Priviledge, the two of us here to sit, converse, to feel the warmth of friendship always too brief just a give and take between immortals (close…

Another cover I did quite some time ago. Johnny Cash has always been one of my personal heroes -- RIP.

Another love song, but I like the story

... again ... for Randy. Memories of old magazines gathering dust on the shelves with things you never could let go of. Dirty chess sets hardly touched. Empty bottles of cheap scotch you never could get enough of. And it's a shameful world…
