Blisterin' Kicks Bitcrushed to Hell & Back and then put the PSR S2 Hog to work and added a bit of Raucously Bodacious Harpin' with my favorite Little Hohner Special 20..... Just some Stayin' at Home Blues to Play the Day Away rather Blissfully.

Stay Well, Friends. :D)))

Composed Original Music Backing Track and then played, sang, recorded vocals and additional instruments and MiXed it All Up. Original Lyrics, Music, Instruments, Production by Riff Beach - RiffWerx Records & Productions.

Riff Beach - RiffWerx - 2020

Sometimes in life…..

We’re just cruisin’ along

And, other times, we all feel

That we’re lost and don’t belong

< Chorus>

(And) Gather Yourself……

For You can’t go wrong

And, surely, you know……

Oh, Yeah…..You can still be strong

But, what have we,

If not love held in our heart?

Oh, You know It’s where we go……

When we don’t know

Just where to start

So, Grab a Little Calm

For you know you can’t go wrong

Oh, Yeah….Love’s always there

To guide you right along

Oh, Yeah…… Find Yourself

A Quiet Place…..

Carve out some Space

Escape the Human Race

(Back to Chorus and Out...)

Snapped this exotic ragweed with iPhone while recently on a Walk, and it spurred a silly song idea. Got home and looked it up....Had no idea, it was actually even a Thistle. Amazing flower-weed in The Daisy Family with Wellness, Homeopathic, Medicinal powers. The thorny Thistle is also an Emblem of Scotland and Lorraine. Wrote some Lyrics, played my PRS S2, and added vocals against an Original Backing Track that I created to develop a whimsical and rather zany tune about it all. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thistle

Well, Sometimes Love

It’s a Sticky Thing….

Oh, and of your Stickiness…

That’s What I sing

Sticky Thistle….What are You?

You seemed such a mystery to me

Noticed you on a walk

When I slipped out recently

You were, assuredly, the Prettiest

Among the Rottenest

It’s obvious even though…….

I’m no Botanist < (OuCh) >

Oh, Yeah

(Chorus)

How you stood out in Magenta

Amidst a Patch of Green

Yet, I’m sure that if I could hold You

Well, You’d probably treat me Mean

Oh, Sticky Thistle

I knew not what you were….

Thorny and all Prickly

You’re a Med for the Sickly

You’re emblematic in Scotland

And, here, I thought you just a Weed

But, now I fully understand

You’re quite a cure for those in need

And, if you were in the Sea

I’d think you an Anemone

Yet, you’re a Cousin of Daisy

Although, certainly more an Anomaly

Oh, Sticky Thistle

Maybe, You’d better just….

Stick by Me???

Oh, Sticky Thistle…………(Blah, blah, blah ;-)

Constructed an arrangement in BIAB, played along with my Electric, and then mixed it all up into this Bluesy Little ElectrOriginal Instrumental Tune. Hope it's enjoyed?!!! :D

Putting my sweet PRS S2 Custom 24 to work against a self-created Drum and Backing Track. Then, sang along and MiXed it all up into this tune written 'On the Fly':

Gonna’ Be Some Change ©

Riff Beach - RiffWerx 2020

Well, You know, lately, I’ve been feeling kinda’ chained

Feelin’ just a little bit strained….

And, you know there’s Gonna’ Be Some Change

There’s just Gotta’ Be Some Change

Oh, Yeah….

Why, things they often just seem to stay the same

But, I’m getting kinda’ tired of that worn out game

Sometimes, it just all feels so lame

And, we all know……It’s gonna’ come

Cuz’ we can’t be living our lives

…….and, feeling so numb

Oh, Lord, Yeah, there’s Gonna’ Be Some Change

Cuz’ lately, I’ve been feelin’ really strained

Just like I’ve been tied up and chained

And, I’m gonna’ just break away those chains

And, There’s Gonna’ Be Some Change

You know we all need some change…..

Cuz’ things often, well, they just wanna stay the same

But, we’re tired of that worn out game

Tired of feeling so lame

So, we all know it’s gonna come

Can’t be living our lives and feeling so numb

There’s Gonna’ Be Some Change……..

Real Soon

Yeah!

Riff Beach - RiffWerx (Original 2020)

Oh, Yeah, it was somewhere back around 1958 or so

Well, I was maybe, almost 3 years old

Walking around, eyes wide open

Just trying to stand upon steady ground

And, just wanting to go outside and Play

Making the most out of….

One Beautiful, Sunny Day

Oh, I remember I was……Dreaming

Oh, I was …..Just riding on a……Dream

Oh Yeah, but I hadn’t met you yet

Don’t think you were even born back then, Baby?

But, that’s OK, cuz’ you know I’m waiting

Because Our paths……

Were bound to intersect

….One day real soon

And, I know that I’d simply say

Why, Come on and follow me…….

Come jump on this Amazing Ride

And, Let’s share some Dreams

Why can’t you just see? ….Riding on a Dream

Oh, yeah, Just You and Me

Let’s Be DreamRiders

Dream Away with me

So much to say and so much to see

Take a Walk, Let’s Take A Ride

Be a DreamRider with me

I thought I’d better hurry and sit beside her

Because, She’s My DreamRider

As she takes my hand

And We ride a Dream

Riding a Dream, just her and me

We’re DreamRiders

Riding on a Dream……

You and Me
