Here is a piece I threw together tonight.

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

“(my) Sweet Time” – new mini diddy mp3

I’m trying to get myself back up to garageband foolin’ for a new song writing podcast series. (maybe just one every TWO weeks this time?). Here’s what came out. A little acoustic piece called “(my) Sweet Time.

Here’s the mp3.

And the deep brooding lyrics ;=):

“my Sweet Time”

Turning a whisper into a scream
Turning a system into a scene
Turning a blister into a sore
Turning your statement into much more

And it was my Sweet Time

Turning the spotlight onto your heart
Turning the screw tight -a little too hard

And it was my Sweet Time

Turning a doorway into a path
Turning the sure way into a laugh
Turning the table turning the tide
Turning your way now I cannot hide

And it was my Sweet Time
My what a Sweet Time
