We Hold The Night
We Hold The NightThis song started as a riff on “Young Folks” by Peter Bjorn and John... and I wondered what that song would have been if the monsters from Cloverfield were raging outside. 😂 It sat waiting a year for me to record it until El Paso and Dayton happened — and I added the middle verse... Lyrics: If we survive the night we'll be best friends If we survive tonight I'll take you anywhere you want to go If we survive tonight then we'll be lovers If we hold the light We'll hold the night We hold the night we hold the night we all have faith we all need love we want to reach the stars above we hold the night we hold the night The world is crashing down around our ears people outside are screaming faces red and full of tears monsters roam the streets it's raining fire televisions stoke our primal fears Will you be my friend until the end will you hold my hand until the ever-stinging bitter end what lies and tortured fates will we overcome will our love endure beyond the sun cover art: Joe Green @ Unsplash

Imagine (John Lennon Cover)
Imagine (John Lennon Cover)Here's John Lennon's "Imagine," re-imagined in E flat. Something I've had in my head since December.... You live with songs for decades. They become like wallpaper you see everyday. You stop noticing how powerful they are, or how deep under the skin they go. When I did the scratch vocal for this, early in the process, I broke down several times. It surprised me. I just couldn't keep it together. I hope the more jaded of us can hear this version, and rediscover the original - and what it means for us today. cover photo: Michael Aleo, Unsplash

Cure for Melancholia
Cure for MelancholiaI never felt such pure love in my hands Feel you tremble, I understand In your blue skies I'm scheming In your ocean depths I'm dreaming I feel there is no cure for the endless wastes I'm leaving now heaven beckons me - yeah no other world I see so hooked into you baby deep inside we're free yeah You burn me to my roots so I can't stand You leave me vacant, I'm whole again In your blue skies I'm scheming In your ocean depths I'm dreaming...

Like Being In Love With A Girl
Like Being In Love With A GirlUnder open skies the stars are in our eyes full moon is overhead we're in heaven Pulsing rhythms from the ground the lost souls have all been found no more pain, we're all insane like being in love with a girl Kisses and sighs wander through the night they stare are we still there ghostly burning bright I'm so high, I'm so high the veil is lifted from our sight no more pain, we're all insane love is on our brains The galaxy overhead tells us where we are I sense that we're all one so close and yet so far (swaha, swaha, swaha...)

Anthem
AnthemANTHEM We are the love We are the light We want to shine Rain your kisses on me baby We are alive We want to live We want to fly We want to drown Deep in our hearts There’re no more walls An open door Is ours for the taking Pour your fingers Into my veins We’ll thunder down We’ll take that world We are in love We want it all We want it now Pour your kisses on me baby We are alive We want to live We want it fly We want to drown We’ll never fall Into the trap That tells us we Don’t deserve to live a happy life We raise our hands Against the darkness We have a heart We are human We are the love We are the light We want to shine Pour your kisses on me baby We are alive We want to live We want it fly We want to drown We are in love We are the light We are in love We are the light We are in love We are the light.

Stand Or Fall (The Fixx Cover)
Stand Or Fall (The Fixx Cover)Another 80's classic reborn for our fractious times... I know it isn't PC, but I took the liberty of changing the lyric on the chorus, which in The Fixx's original version is "it's the Euro theater..." which is strange to sing, being based in the US, during a time when our national politics are so fractured. And since the rise of right wing nationalism seems to be resurgent across the globe, I changed this lyric to "it's the global theater..." In a live performance of this song, which you can find online, Cy Curnin sings "it's our human dimension," which I also incorporated into the chorus. And lastly, hearing this song for the first time in the 80's - listening to it on FM radio and cassette tape - I always thought the lyric was "it's your own fear." Which, I think, fits the context of the song. So I added "don't give into your fear..." HFA License #: 1337973061

New Day Song (Don't Give Up On Me, Baby)
New Day Song (Don't Give Up On Me, Baby)I'm over now I feel so old It's all been done I've sunk so low A new age comes Full of angel voices Their power sways Their will unending I'm in my flow My boat's on the river I won't give up As long as I'm still breath'n Don't give up on my baby...
