New Explanatory Mantra

Had to come up with new words

To describe what I do

To stranger folks along the way

And so…

DJD is a Georgia based artist who delights

in writing songs of Awakening

often with Simple Observation

of the Complex Anguish of

one’s personal experiences.

Make Sense?

semi spoken word sketch = constantly

Here is a piece I threw together tonight.

Called How What When Why Constantly.

The lyrics came early early one AM this week.

The synth loop came tonight.

Here is the mp3

This Week’s New Song – “Up To You”

Song 01 

“Up to You” click to play / download

I’m going to try a Song a Week or So for another year. 52 in total. 

Starting this week January 18, 2008.

This one came to me during the week and I put it down today in Garageband with my Duet etc. It’s called “Up to You”. But the Up to You part is more about “looking Up to You” not “ITS up to you”.  I was originally thinking this might be a good Atomsplit cartoon big song. Done with drums and electric guitars etc of course.

Here’s the lyrics. Rather simple. But that’s my style

I’m calling out to you

I’m calling out

 

I’m crawling into view

I’m crawling out

 

Wanna breathe anew

Wanna breathe, the air

 

I’m calling out to you

I’m calling out

 

chourus 

 

Need to turn to you

Need to turn

 

Need to see this through

Now i’ve come to know

 

Wanna taste anew

Wanna tast

 

Need to turn to you

Need to turn

 

chouruses

 

I’m looking up to you

I’m looking up

 

Need to feel the truth

In my bones

 

I’m looking out to you

I’m looking out

 

I’m looking up to you

I’m looking up

So I was joined for a set by original Atomsplit guitar player Jason Colby this Saturday night at the gig. Jason is also know as my brother. We had a great time and played some old Atomsplit songs in the set. Here’s one and more on my Flickr page.

L.A. Wrap Up

I had a great time at Music Strategies L.A. over the previous weekend. What a great bunch of nice and TALENTED folks. I got to perform “The Thing is Love” solo on bass.

I plan on posting links to some of the Artist’s sites soon. But in the meantime I put some photos from the trip on Flickr here.
