"Where I'm Going" Words and Music by Danny Hauger

Extended journeys have a way of working out,

That you can’t see too far ahead

The part that’s tragic is the living part of life,

That we must learn more from the dead.

I’m waiting for the life I’m building to take shape

And I’m hoping to be good enough.

All in  all I’m rising up to meet my faith.

So hear me roar and call my bluff.

I don’t know where I’m going

Only know where I’ve been

I don’t know where I’m going

But you’re welcome to come along.

Forgive me if I am lonely,

I thought I’d have more time to be

The friend you’d waited all along for.

While I was looking to please me.

There’s a selfishness I’m serving all the time.

A short-sighted loss of light

If I had taken one more moment

I’d seperate what was wrong from what was right.

Your setting sun will be another’s rising light,

Your charted path will be their guide.

Three simple tracks. Two 12-strong, unplugged, acoustic guitars panned slightly left and right to make a reflective and relaxing instrumental with a mix of major and minor keys. Plus a live drum performance on my new Alesis Nitro kit produced this simple track. It reminded me of trying to keep your thoughts focused on one task but being distracted by the other thoughts in your head.

Enjoyed Hope Sandoval and the Warm intentions Friday night! What a beautiful venue in Berkeley - the UC Theatre. There are a load of great talent, and I love their nonprofit mission to train people for careers in music and the arts! View their upcoming calendar here!

This week I also got humiliated, not really, on Comedy Bang Bang, episode 511. Take a listen. I love that show! Stay tuned for new music this week, and an interview with recording artist Ben Kweller, one of my top 10 favorite songwriters and inspirations!

A Happy and and healthy welcome to you into today’s edition of the Hauger History Podcast, I’m pretty thrilled today to speak with one of the most multi-talented musicians I’ve had the opportunity to listen to. Joe Pisapia joins me, a singer-songwriter, producer, and performer who has worked with the esteemed likes of Ben Folds, Guster, and The Silver Seas, and is now launching a Pledge Music Campaign, which I hope you will all support at https://www.pledgemusic.com/projects/joepisapia

Some of the questions that we discuss in today’s interview:

• On https://www.joepisapia.net/ there are dozens of creative projects and albums that your stamp has been left on. Where does Joe’s musical gene come from?

I pledged today, in the hopes that my music is found by new artists, and I want to thank Joe for his influences on me and all of fans old and new!

There's two of us.

There's limited time.

Like the hourglass and the sand inside.

Now we're aware, gonna draw this line.

So parallels don't run behind.

Sing with me, don't fade away.

Stay with me, don't fade away.

Can you still see me? See right through.

To the other side, I still see you.

Stay with me, don't fade away.

Stay with me, don't fade away.

September has been a good motnh so far, though we are waiting for the fall weather in California, and being thoughtful for our friends in the Southeast sheltering from storms. Today I worked through a smooth instrumental jam with keys, bass, and guitar, and led some synthesizer lead. I am calling this week's free download "Sampling Plans".

Guitar players often have a few chords that theystrum as soona s they pick up a guitar. D Major is one of the most moveable chords on the fretboard. Combine these two guitarist driven facts and you'll soon see how I developed this brand new acoustic instrumental mix. Watch the recording video on YouTube!

"Upside" is quite relaxing and positive, and more or less wrote itself. As we knoe, upside is not all climb and ascensions, so I took a few side streets through a bridge that disrupt momentarily, the flow of acoustic energy with some bass. I like the contrasting final product and I hope you will enjoy and share this free music download.

“When I’m Older” lyrics and music by Danny Hauger    www.dannyhauger.com

The hours pass, the greener grass, it isn’t grown yet.

I’m all for one, and I’m one for all, and I’m all in.

Practiced all the problems solved, was I wrong then?

And what’s the next thing that will test me, will I be losing sleep?

Repeat the past and then at last, I see, the future comes to me.

Repeat the past and then at last, I see, the future comes to me, right now.

And I’m told that it’s gonna get cold when I’m older,

I should’ve tried to be more applied when I was bolder then,

If I show well I will get sold out I warn you.

I will fly on unforeseen skies and I’ll float away.

Now I’m back at the present, its a gift to be here.

Every day every week, every month in the year.

The granted time that we get here, its give and we take.

We gamble, we bargain, the clock ticks, and the time we waste.

Lyrics and Guitar Chords "Friends" by Danny Hauger and Greg Kettelhake

E    C#m        A    B

Where were you the night we watched all those movies

We all looked side to side, tried to figure out where you were

Might have been somewhere else

Maybe we were second best.

Remember shooting bottle caps into the ceiling

Remember playing guitar at school at 7 AM

I’d try to impress

All the girls who were walking by.

A    B    C#m    E   

All the time you’ve known me,

I’d strike out 1,000 times,

At least we still can count on friends.

SOLO OVER VERSE CHORDS

Nowadays,

We have bills and you’ve got twins

Its hard for us to get together and just shoot the breeze but,

Even though we’re older

We can always count on friends.

Even though we’re older

We can always count on friends.

Even though we’re older

We can always count on friends.

E
