lyrics:

Glimmer endlessly hidden in the haze remembering fires from the skies convergent series of todays shining a spotlight on the lies we found a glimmer in your eyes escaping from this tired maze pouring the water of surprise the final embers of this blaze remembering fires from the skies we found a glimmer in your eyes (c) 2008 Bill Grundmann

another fantasy live performance... ~~~~~~~~ Southern Banjo 14, Southern Banjo 01, Boogie Woogie Acoustic, all modified somewhat.

An Emo-Folk song. This is just so sad.

lyrics:

A UFO Took Mary Lou Away me and Mary Lou were at the village fair the night the shiny thing came soaring through the air we held each other tight as it melted seven trucks i knew right then and there we were out of luck a mighty beam of light took Mary Lou away she floated out of sight my wife-to-be-someday now what was i to do my mind was going blank a spaceship took my Mary Lou away the crowd was very still my daddy came to me he said come on let's get back home there's nothing else to see i looked into the sky but there were only stars my mother took my hand she said to be a man but i had never planned for a UFO took Mary Lou away every chance i get i go to Maxwell's field i survey every star the Milky Way revealed i see her face in wisps of interstellar clouds her eyes are flashing through the midnight shroud a mighty beam of light took Mary Lou away she floated out of sight my wife-to-be-someday it's all that i can do to wait for her return a spaceship took my Mary Lou away many years have gone my parents passed away the village grew into a town my friends all went away i never had a family i only had a dream i waited in the dark my failing broken heart i never got a fair start for a UFO took Mary Lou away (c) whenever whoever whatever

This is a cover of stormchasing (by the hamlet machines) http://www.macjams.com/song/37998 I took the liberty of changing the lyrics, not a lot, and I hope the content is still the same, but the rhyming scheme is different. I found the vocal range rather "challenging". There is a video I made for this too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bchc87DPDkA music by Brentford K lyrics by CJ Daley arranged and performed by SmokeyVW video editing by Bill Grundmann ~~~~~~~~ sound effects used in this song: 00196 thunder 14 close.wav (http://www.freesound.org/samplesViewSingle.php?id=57179) By Robinhood76 (http://www.freesound.org/usersViewSingle.php?id=321967) siren_n_thunder.wav (http://www.freesound.org/samplesViewSingle.php?id=42813) By FreqMan (http://www.freesound.org/usersViewSingle.php?id=92661) t128.wav (http://www.freesound.org/samplesViewSingle.php?id=51909) By guitarguy1985 (http://www.freesound.org/usersViewSingle.php?id=533680)

lyrics:

STORMCHASING - verse 1 - This road is a fallen lightning rod That's pointed nowhere I drive just to feel alive I wish it could last forever Once like you - I had a life I had a wife - I had a clue Lots of stuff - but out of touch It was too much - and not enough - chorus - Stormchasing am I Through the day - into night Waiting on the sky For the lightning - to strike - verse 2 - Tornado Alley is the place I'll always ride Drive in to the funnel's din 'Til I'm so close I can see inside - bridge - - verse 3 - This cloud that's rumbling loud Has the voice of a father This flash that's gonna crash Smiling like a mother Tripod - and cameras Record the wrath - of a minor God Old stuff - and out of touch It was too much - but not enough - chorus - Stormchasing am I Do you know - what it's like Waiting on the sky For the lightning - to strike (2x) - verse 4 - The weather's rough - I feel its pull It's beautiful - but not enough Wreaking havoc - getting real I'd like to feel - the fear and shock - chorus - Stormchasing am I You don't know - what it's like Waiting on the sky For the lightning - to strike (4x) (fade)

This is my entry to the LIOLI Challenge number 7. A Celebration of Our Victory!

i'm thinking you and i could run away

lyrics:

That Look (Run Away) i see that look in your eyes that fire burning intense we're chasing down that dream not far away i'm thinking you and i could run all day but now our ship's on the rocks it's time to gather our wits it's time to pack it in feel no disgrace i'll hold you in my arms i'll keep you safe i see that look in your eyes it's time to fold up the tents we never knew the score we sure could play i'm thinking you and i could run away i see that look in your eyes (c) 2008 Bill Grundmann
