Bounce Along © - Original

Riff Beach - RiffWerx - 2017

Sometimes we’re Lost

Sometimes we’re Found

Gotta’ Pick….Ourselves

Up off the Ground

Must be Strong

So I can Get Around

Won’t be that Long

’Til we’re Glory Bound

Chorus

Headin' on……..

Down the Road

Life’s a Song

Gotta’ be Strong

Just Bounce Along

Bounce Along

Bounce Along

(Instrumental Bridge)

Chorus 2

Sometimes you’re Right

Sometimes you’re Wrong

Gotta’ Bounce Along

Just Bounce Along

You must be Strong

Lose that Heavy Load

There’s another Town

Right Down the Road

You gotta’ Move Along

Do what You Can

Can’t always be…….

A One Man Band

So, Bounce Along

You made your Stand

Bounce Along

While you still can………

Bitcrushed a Drum track and utilized my Fender Charvel Electric free form to create, record, and Mix this Blues-injected little instrumental.

Hope it's enjoyed? Always genuinely appreciate the listening, sharing, caring, and commentary. Thanks. Cheers! :D

Apologies for revising a few Lyrics in my interpretation of this Gem of a tune, originally penned and performed by the amazing Ms. Jackie DeShannon, along with her Brother, Randy Myers, and Jimmy Holiday in 1969. Covered by quite a few different artists, including Al Green and Annie Lennox, over the years. Always loved JD's Music and she's still at it today, too. Among insider music communities, one of her recent album's "Laurel Canyon" is a rather well known underground musical masterpiece: http://www.jackiedeshannon.com >>> Big Respect. Such talent! Anyway, my humble take on this Classic is intended as a 'sketch' at best in my own AcoustaTronic Style. Sure made for a Fun Sunday project. Hope it's enjoyed? As always, thanks for listening and/or commenting. Most genuinely appreciated. :D

Just Waltzing along on The Dirty 30's Dreadboard. Blues sketching on a Foggy Day!

Troubled Mind? Take The Blue Line.......Down the Tracks of Time! Rest your soul and ease your Load. All with be just fine when you embrace its rumble and roar. Cruise along just a little more.......on the Blue Line! ;-)

Dedicated to My Dear Friend, The Late Great - Allen G. 'Boxcar' Bailey! RIP, Allen. Miss ya' a ton and all of your Truly Terrific Train songs, Buddy.

Recorded with my RK Dirty 30's Dread and Hohner E-tuned Blues Harp. Tapped out the drums and Bitcrushed 'em in Logic Pro X!

Story Teller Tune...... Originally written and composed in 2012 and revised and recorded in 2017 in AcoustaTronic format. Minimalist Singer-Songwriter approach intended not to get in the way of the 'story'. We are all but stardust and one day our souls and spirits will soar and fly back into 'The Mystic'!

Ashes, Wine, Whiskey, and Sand ©

Original - Riff Beach 2012 - Revised 2017

Cool breezes drift under skies so warm

Tears in her eyes slowly begin to form

Water washes away Ashes like Footprints on Sand

Waves tumble quickly as do lives unplanned

Yesterday faded slowly to night

Turning to day with morning’s light

Smell of saltwater hangs in the air

Gentle winds caress her soft, golden hair

Chorus

They paused, at times, as they talked

By the ocean, as they slowly walked

(And then)…..he squeezed her hand…..

“Ashes, Wine, Whiskey, and Sand”

Spirits floating upon the winds

Staring as it swirls and ascends

Souls sailing in different ways…..

A familiar shore…in an uncommon place

Bridge

They recall that bittersweet farewell

And that night before…..Total Hell

Such goodbyes lead to surprise

Hard to forget the look in her eyes

Repeat Chorus……

Added the Fender Charvel to a Fabulous Music Composition from my Good Friend, Bravei Brasil, and provided a bit of my own ReMix! Hopefully, My Good Friend and Brazilian Buddy, Bravei, will appreciate and enjoy, as well? This is an Explosivio Surprise for him! ;-) Kudo's, Bravei!!! Cheers!

Surf Boogie with the Fender Charvel and Mustang I V2 Amp, G-Tuned RotorHarp, BitCrushed Drums and a little extra 'stuff' thrown in to Brew up some Saturday Self-Party Musical Meandering and Rockin' ! ;-)

As always, Thanks for anyone making time to listen and/or comment. Most assuredly and genuinely appreciated! :D

Some Slide Guitar, Drums, and a little Charvel Ds2 Desolation Blues Cruisin' and just floating along free-form ! ;-)

As Always, Thanks for giving it a Listen and/or Commenting. Genuine appreciation. Hope it's enjoyed......

Originally written, composed in 2012. Revised, Re-Recorded and ReMiXed in 2017! :D

🙌 🍇 Chances © Revisited - Original 🍇 🙌

Riff Beach (Riff Werx ® 2017 - Revised)

All the chances that we’re given

And the choices that we make

What do we deliver?

To offset all we take?

Chorus

For, our wishes, they’re delicious

Our intentions……..so divine

Remember what we choose…..

and, Leave…..the rest behind

The calm we crave to capture

Often leads to Great Escapes

Will the vineyards of our mind……

…..Give us sweet or sour grapes?

Bridge

Are we searching for a purpose?

Perhaps……a place of Peace?


Are we holding on too closely?

Or, is it distance that we seek?

< Instrumental, Repeat Verse 1, Chorus and Out >
