IF IT MAKES YOU HAPPY

If it makes you happy I will wiggle my ears…
My song for the 2014 RPM Christmas Challenge. It's all over the place with style, kind of like random presents under the tree. ;)
Merry Christmas to you!
On the corner by the Opera
A girl with a balloon
Licks her cherry ice-cream
and gaze up at the moon
Her father points his long arms
To a poster across the street
A pirate with a guitar
Ball & Chains around his feet
A barrel…

Unless you paint away your life
No matter how much you trust
You should watch for the knife
For what you behold in the darkness
It can’t see you as well
The vision for which you quest
Shows you that War…

This song is very cool! I like driving rock songs like this!
Thanks Johnny!
This would make perfect credit crawl for a John Hughes movie. Very 80's.
All your music is so professional in playing, production and composition. Ticks all the boxes for me.
