• February 13, 2020Under This Havana Moon (Song Sketch)

  It is a perfect night

  The sea is smooth as glass

  The lights of Havana shine

  The boats in the harbor pass

  She is a good girl

  That's what she likes to say

  She smokes clove cigarettes

  She wears a black beret

  She turns every head when she walks into the room

  Under this Havana moon

  She is a communist

  She is a tease

  She wears high combat boots

  She speaks fluent Chinese

  She's lived in Moscow

  She's lived in Rome

  She don't give out her number

  'cause she doesn't have a phone

  She turns every head when she walks into the room

  Under this Havana moon

  She has a rose tattoo

  On the nape of her neck

  She is an anarchist

  She won't pick up the check

  No one knows where she comes from

  And she won't say

  She has a reputation

  But she's not the least bit fazed

• February 07, 2020The World Turns And The Wind Blows (Song Sketch)

  It's a straight line to a crooked past

  Think of something make it fast

  You can see it like a photograph

  Deep inside your mind

  It's a long time on a short path

  A dream you try to make last

  All the time you spend tied to the mast

  Drifting through your life

  and the world turns

  and the wind blows

  the sun shines

  through the window

  and you wonder

  where did the time go

  and you think hard

  but you don't know

  It's the search for the greener grass

  The reach for ring of brass

  The half full or empty glass

  You've seen it from both sides

  It's the love that you let pass

  The hurt heart that you can't patch

  The words you can't take back

  That keeps you up at night

  and the world turns

  and the wind blows

  the sun shines

  through the window

  and you wonder

  where did the time go

  and you think hard

  and you don't know

  It's the sand slipping through the hourglass

  It's the trying hard to somehow make it last

  It's the days that go by so fast

  Sometimes it makes you sad, but then you just laugh

  It's the time spent with an old friend

  The old house you grew up in

  The pictures in the basement

  The stories that you write

  and the world turns

  and the wind blows

  the sun shines

  through the window

  and you wonder

  where did the time go

  and you think hard

  and you don't know

  It's a straight line to a crooked past

  Think of something make it fast

  You can see it like a photograph

  Deep inside your mind

• February 06, 2020Fever Dream (Song Sketch)

  I have the Perfect alibi

  I have been Swallowed up by time

  I didn't know enough to notice that the clock had stopped, I guess

  I have the Perfect Alabi

  Don't open up that door

  We don't want to start a war

  We had them stunned into submission 'till the trailer park incident

  Don't open up that door

  I have no reason to complain

  I'm drunk on duty-free champagne

  No place to be I sit and squint into the Blinding sunset

  I have no reason to complain

  But I have to face

  the strange wonderful world

  that I inhabit every day

  It's quite a place

  I'm all alone and wish that

  you could join me here one day

  I don't live here anymore

  I put a note on my front door

  It said I finally found the faith to swim Beneath the current

  I don't live here anymore

  I'm not sure what I meant to say

  I try not to exaggerate

  I won't pretend I knew her well but I could let my guard down

  I'm not sure what I meant to say

  This is all a fever dream

  Riding on a laser beam

  There are a million reasons why I have to wonder what's in store

  This is all a fever dream

  But I have to face

  the strange wonderful world

  that I inhabit every day

  It's quite a place

  I'm all alone and wish that

  you could join me here one day

• February 03, 2020Everything You Dream (Song Sketch)

  Cadd9 C Cmaj7

  Fadd6 F Fmaj7b5 Fadd9

  Memories of your childhood

  drifting through your mind

  Imaging you're flying

  You're flying so high

  So high

  So high

  Running down your street

  Mouth is open wide

  Catching all the raindrops

  As they fall down from the sky

  From the sky

  From the sky

  G

  Then you see a rainbow

  It stretches out so far

  Fadd9

  Dreaming of the future

  So excited that you are

  Cadd9 C Cmaj7

  Alive

  Fadd6 F Fmaj7b5 Fadd9

  Alive

  G Fadd9

  Everything you dream will come to be

  G Fadd9

  All you have to do is wait and see

  Cadd9 C Cmaj7

  You'll see

  Fadd6 F Fmaj7b5 Fadd9

  You'll see

  You're anxious for tomorrow

  So you're turning out the light

  The Light

  The Light

  All the things you want your life to be

  All you have to do is wait and see

  You'll see

  Everything you dream will come to be

  All you have to do is wait and see

  You'll see

• January 26, 2020Gift Of Gab (Song Sketch)

  Em D Am

  Em D C

  Em D

  You don't have much to say

  Am Em

  but you keep on talking anyway

  Em D C

  It's ok I've got nothing else to do

  G Am

  And it helps to pass the time

  F Em

  Keeps my own thoughts from my mind

  C D Em

  And I guess I just like listening to you

  I'm not exactly keeping track

  I fade out then I fade back

  And you don't even notice when I do

  I nod my head and look around

  While you continue to expound

  And you're not even close to halfway through

  D Cadd9 Em/b

  While You talk and talk and talk

  D Cadd9 Em/b B7

  You talk and talk and talk

  No detail is too small

  Am D

  You've got to tell them all

  Am C B7

  you barely have a chance to take a breath

  Am C B7

  And the stories that you tell just never end

  You talk and talk and talk

  You talk and talk and talk

  Sometimes I try to interject

  But too quickly make my point I guess

  Then I'm back to listening to you

  It's funny that I don't complain

  I'm somehow just more entertained

  It's amazing how you do that thing you do

  You talk and talk and talk

  You talk and talk and talk

  Am D

  Though I have got no place to go

  As I sit and watch the winter snow

  I motion for the waiter to bring the check

  And I'll say so long to you my good friend

  While You talk and talk and talk

  You talk and talk and talk

  D Cadd9 B7

  You talk and talk and talk

• January 20, 2020No Excuse (Song Sketch)

  Intro:

  G6/9 A13sus2 C/G 2X

  G

  We were refugees

  Bm

  We were lovers

  C/G

  We were fools

  We were casualties

  We were runaways

  We were ruined

  Dmaj11/A C/G Em A

  I guess that you were hoping I'd become the man i'd never been

  G

  But our destiny

  Bm

  always felt like it was waiting

  C/G

  To begin

  G6/9 A13sus2 C/G 2X

  We'd seen better days

  There were words to say

  We spoke the truth

  You were crying

  I was trying

  It was no use

  I dreamed that when I saw you, you were no one that I knew

  I was sorry

  I could offer

  No excuse

  Instrumental Tag (coronet and oboe on the melody)

  A C/G E
