Ying and Yang? Lovey dovey and bitter. It actually sounds like it was written by two people; nice to start then you feel the doubt as the song progresses. Well done both, when can we hear it?

Funny as you should say that, because I am a big believer in the Yin and Yang, Karma, and most of the astrological personality traits.
   Stand by to see my new tattoo that I will be getting this Tuesday!

Also Jeff and I have found ourselves to be a good writing team.  coming from two different schools of music, we can Gel them together.

This song is actually part 2 to What and Whatnot's.  # 3 is Battle for my Soul.  the anger stage and self-building song.  I see at least 2 more being written to tell my story.

OH I forgot to put my version up!  I also changed a verse that I need to still give a change to Jeff.

Here is my version I did in the bedroom on the TAK.

Yup, that's a metal song if I ever heard one. In my head I hear the verses as a spoken growl over a heavy bass riff, and some power chords backing the chorus being sung. It'll be interesting to hear what you come up with, Beamer.

Well for the most part,  you are correct on the verse and chorus will be more melodic.

This is also a new song collaboration project between Jets and myself.  but this is the raw poem I wrote last night (labor day)

A Kiss in The Sun

A kiss in the sun
The days been so fine and fun
Not supposed to get confused,
How else can I make you mine

This is just a kiss in the sun
You tell me not to think
You say you are not trying to.

But the times when I am in the car
Do you text or shout when I am not about?

As I said, Im all in
I reach for that shred of light
Untill you say, Give up the fight

We still enjoy each other
We still can have fun,
I love you , and our kisses in the sun.

Jan and CG,

Thank you for your kind words.Yes this sucks.  I am just glad I know how to write and express this oppressive weight.

CG, and some hurt deeper and harder than others.

Jan, I will make it through the valley, with or without her.  I feel like crap, but I will survive. I will be a better person.  I will keep writing.

As the song in the original point break goes I WILL NOT FALL https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_JlZ7tsygA

I thought I would post a more positive and non-depressing one I have been writing.
*******************************************************************************************

50 years and I open my eyes

see the sunset and watch it rise.

Where I"m going,

you would think I could see

and as a young man , not a clue what would become of me.

all the care bears were my friends

having good times

and playing music till the end

Years went by and  we never became super stars,

now we are scattered near and far

Technology has come such a long way

and the friends I thought lost,

and ones i have never met,

are but a mouse click away.

JIm,

is this happening presently as mine is?  Your song hits me right in the chest, if you have seen what I have been submitting, you have a brother with whom to share your pain.  i could have written this song as it deals as just the same.

Thank you for a beautiful song and I would love to hear you sing it.

As I drown in a sea of sorrow and regret,

Things I should have done better,

And some not at all.

I stand alone as I wait for the incision/decision

Sharing my gut with any who will listen.


As I wait I must carry on,

Drifting along in a numb haze

As I zombie through my dayz.


Still we must eat,

And the grocery becomes my retreat

The checkout is an un-expecting place

A big bright smile is directed at me,

A saving grace.

Now I lay here naked and exposed,

tried to watch some porn, but I had to close.

I only want to feel each of us deep inside,

not just physical, but that our hearts abide.

And from this I think sometimes you really want to hide.

Love trust hate fate
Four letter words that we all make

Trusting in love
We set our fate

Trying to live
Without the hate

Love trust hate fate
Four letter words that we all make

Hating ,
When the trust of love
Starts to bleed into fate

The daily struggle
To keep love and trust alive
And over time,
We start to loose our grasp.

Love trust hate fate
Four letter words that we all make
