IF IT MAKES YOU HAPPY
If it makes you happy I will tie your shoe
If it makes you happy I will tickle you
If it makes you happy I'm telling you true
If it makes you happy I'll be happy too
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…
(July)
A painting can be nice
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…
It wasn't until I was sitting in front of my computer trying to write lyrics to this one that I realized it is very, very similar to a song from last year's NaSoAlMo. Sorry about that.
If I told you that the lyrics to this were based on…

Fabulous playing and I think all of us have an amount of Jekyll and Hyde in us.
Captured the thought of both worlds perfectly, if Dante had been a composer he might have written this.
Beautiful music for what seems like a senseless event.
A timely post, all nations of the world need to unite against the mindless violence experienced in Paris this weekend.
Thank you for this. A beautiful song for a lovely country. Music can cure even the worst pain.
Well done.
