New World Order Blues
New World Order Blues Year: 2019 Album: Rain Genre: Blues
Narcotics on the playgrounds, and shootings in the church, the government might help us, but they want our money first. It seems they've got those new world order blues. It's snowing down in Texas, fire is burning up the west, we're rushing towards extinction, and it might be for the best. I think we've caught those new world order blues. Machines have started thinking, but it's much too late to help, 'cause no one pays attention, leave the answers on the shelf. If you want to keep on living, better join an army soon, cause anyone who doesn't, will be dancing to their tune. There's chaos in the city, and there's murder on the plains, and if you think about it, you will surely go insane. I think we've caught those new world order blues. -Solo- I'm hoping for good weather while I drive real far away, and hide out in the mountains, while we find a better way, to cure these mean old new world order blues.

Original 'Eddie' Track With Vocal Melody Line
Original 'Eddie' Track With Vocal Melody Line Year: 2016 Album: Rain Genre: Jazz
I've posted this just to show what the melody line is if it were to be done with the lyrics. Please refer to bob's guitar work on the prior post and ignore mine :) -1st verse- Everything comes back, you know, nothing ever really goes, this old town can always get you down. All dressed up, no where to go, no one has a midnight show, we'll all dance when Eddie's back in town. -chorus- Everybody's swinging to the music, that smooth guitar can really lay it down. Everyone is movin'to the groovin', we'll all dance when Eddie's back in town. -2nd verse- Used to dance all through the night, now the music's just not right, everything is painted black and brown. Something's coming, this I know, into the misty night we go, we'll all dance when Eddie's back in town. -do 2 verses and choruses, then the solo, then another chorus and scat with the guitar on the ending.

Seven Ways
Seven Ways Year: 2019 Album: Rain Genre: Pop
Who says Disco is dead? (Noooo… :) SEVEN WAYS Verse 1 There are seven ways to say I love you, but the words just slip away, I guess another day. There are seven hours until tomorrow, but tomorrow will never come, it's now another day. Verse 2 There are seven ways to say I'm sorry, but nothing's here to be sorry for, so that will have to wait. There are seven ways to buy the future, but you can't buy reality, that's tangled up with fate. Chorus Headed for somewhere, moving so fast that I can't slow down, I'm caught in a dream, where nothing is never really what it seems. Headed for somewhere, riding a wave of uncertainty, destination unknown, don't think that I'll ever find my way back home.

A Better Way
A Better Way Year: 2020 Album: Rain
If you hear this as a song about the current world condition, that's cool. It was actually written as just a 'life' song :) Better Way There's a better place, not far from this old space, A place where I could go, a space that I should know. And though I can't see where, Keep trying to get there, I know there's something more, behind some hidden door. A place that has no fear, a place where no one ever hurts at all. A place that has no tears, a place I know is not that far at all. There's a better way, that I might find someday, If I'm still living here, if I still breathe this air. There's a better place, right here within this space, it's there for me to see, how everything could be. -chorus- -solo on verse- -chorus- There's a better place, right here near this old space, A place not far away, I'll get there someday....X2

Warm Stars
Warm Stars Year: 2020 Album: Rain Genre: Rock
Kimmy1490377 wrote the Lyrics for this song and ask me to put some music to them. I hope she will write more in the future :) Speak up, from something so small comes warm stars, all your money and you can't be a man. You've outgrown your soul, give me time to breathe. A hand to hold, is warm enough for me. I don't give you dreams to hurt the nation, you lose your soul, what can I give you then? In some far land my voice is heard, oh, what a beautiful sight. No tearing away life, just for my fleeting wishes. Speak up, from something so small comes warm stars, speak up, from something so small comes warm stars. -Lead- Now my love, I'm standing in the path of war, I see the signs, it gives me strength to speak. I dress in truth, the light dress of vulnerability. Real love is the metronome, of yesterday's bravery. I've dreamed of this moment so many times before, it's from the fields of my injured heart. Speak up, from something so small comes warm stars, speak up, from something so small comes warm stars. Speak up,--------- speak up-------------- Speak up(end)

21 Mares
21 Mares Year: 2020 Album: Rain Genre: Rock
Kimmy1490377 wrote the lyrics to this song, I did the music. Verse 1 The rose color of life, as the angels close in. The lieutenant feels success, as the door swings open again. This is the American wilderness, this is the blood of a man. I miss the points up in the sky, where the constellations stand. Chorus 1 Oh, the 21 mares will run today, to go back you cannot turn. All the village is quiet now, burning, burning, burn. Oh, the 21 mares will run today, you can never tell the tale. The 21 mares will run today, burning, burning, burn. Verse 2 You've gathered to say you are no more, the child is now for sale. Emerging to a skyless world, who will tell the tale? Every murdered soul for sale, the door swings open and, The lieutenant knows the history, the angel then decends. Chorus 2 Oh, the 21 mares will run today, to go back you cannot turn. The 21 mares will run today, burning, burning, burn. Oh, the 21 mares will run today, you can never tell the tale. All the village is quiet now, burning, burning, burn. -Solo- -Chorus #2 -Ending (repeat 'Burning, Burning')
