HhHoOoWwWLLLL ya'll been? I know it's been a while since I posted or added any new lyrics or music. Why so long you may ask? Simple answer is the distractions of life or as I call it: OPD = Other Peoples Drama. Spent a lot of time trying to make things work that just don't. Spent a lot of time getting ready for my bands 1st gig only to have it canceled, rescheduled & recanceled again. Spent a lot of time wasted on trying to help those who are bound and determined to drown in their own misery. Spent a TON of time trying to live up to the unrealistic expections of me by my day job and my three part-time jobs. At one point I found myself working almost 20 hours a day. But no more. I'm done with it all and now I am focused more than ever on what I was born to do ... to write, record, play & perform. Simple fact is we're born, we live, we die. That's it. As long as I live and breathe, I'm going to love, laugh, write and play. 

So now that the distractions are gone I have been working every day on recording my parts for our band, The Scandal Hounds, first CD. We have twelve songs we are working on and they are coming along better than I had hoped. When I write a song, I hear a finished version in my head but so far what we have recorded far exceeds what I heard when I wrote these songs. It's going to be a CD you can enjoy from beginning to end. Each song is strong enough to stand alone as a single but we have worked hard on making the CD flow from one song to another. Each song is a mind bomb that is going to leave you craving for the next. So stay tuned my musical friends because the best is yet to come.

Be True, Stay Strong & Rock On,

- Lyrics -

All the weapons they can't stop
What I'm about to do
Coz nothing short of a miracle
Could keep me away from you
To feel your touch in the darkness
To see the light upon your skin
To hear you say those words
Come on let's do it again

Come & take my hand
Let's turn out all the lights
All the weapons in the world
Can't stop our love tonight

An army could stand before me
With weapons loaded to bare
But they don't stand a chance
To stop me from being there
To feel your touch in the darkness
To see the light upon your skin
To hear you say those words
Come on let's do it again

Come & take my hand
Let's turn out all the lights
All the weapons in the world
Can't stop our love tonight

No matter what they fire
To reign down on me
Cannot stop my desire
To have you here with me

All the weapons they can't stop
What I'm about to do
Coz nothing short of a miracle
Could keep me away from you

Come & take my hand
Let's turn out all the lights
All the weapons in the world
Can't stop our love tonight

Good news my fellow head food cravers, I have a new song coming out soon. Due to family commitments our band, The Scandal Hounds, will not be practicing for the next several weeks. This gives me some time to finish several demos that I am working on. The first song coming is “All the Weapons”. I have the drums, guitars & vocals recorded. I have been spoiled the past few months by Brian, the bass player in The Scandal Hounds, because he has been laying down such great bass lines on the songs I have written for the band. Now anything I come up with fails in comparison. Brian is going to help me out this week to see what he can come up with. This will be the first time I have worked on a song demo where I have not written & recorded everything by myself.

Once I finish the demo for “All the Weapons” I have several song demos that I have been working on to finish. My choices are a new song called “Gears of War”, “B-Move Love Song” (formally titled “Jezebel”), “Beautifully Inked” and a very interesting song I have been working on behind-the-scenes for months with a working title of “Cream Soda”. I was on a break at the studio enjoying a rum & cream soda when I came up with the idea, so hence the title.

“Cream Soda” is a mix of rock, industrial, hip-hop & pop. I know it sounds crazy but it works. So far it has seven different drums lines all in different styles that separate and weave together. A bass line done on a keyboard that was played through a wall of Marshall guitar amps with two different distortion pedals plus five different guitar parts all played through different guitars through as many different guitar amps that I could get my hands on. I like to do something different with each song and this one is completely different than anything else I have written. I still have to write lyrics & come up with a true title for this song.

I am calling upon all my fellow head food cravers to vote for which song I should work on for my next mind bomb. Your choices are:

• “Gears of War”
• “B-Movie Love Song”
• “Beautifully Inked”
• "Cream Soda” (Working Title)

All you need to do to vote is to reply to this post with your choice. So spread the word & let me know which song you want next.
