I Won't Fade
04:45
|

I won't fade
I will stay
Sitting downtown just watching all the people go by
Sitting downtown just wondering what they're trying to find
I won 't fade I will stay
Time may wrinkle and time may fade
We'll find out in the masquerade
Time may wrinkle and time may fade
We'll find out in the masquerade
Time may wrinkle and time may fade
We'll find out in the masquerade
Time may wrinkle and time may fade
We'll find out in the masquerade
I won't fade
I will stay
I will try to stay a while
If I had a nickel for every single tear that I cried
I'd have a million dollars and I'd keep it in a pocket to hide.
I will stay
I won't fade
Time may wrinkle and time may fade
We'll find out in the masquerade
Time may wrinkle and time may fade
We'll find out in the masquerade
Time may wrinkle and time may fade
We'll find out in the masquerade
Time may wrinkle and time may fade
We'll find out in the masquerade

Bodhisattva Kiss
02:50
|
|
||
Some people think they have to have the world on a string
Some people think they have to have everything
Some people hear love as a deafening voice
Some people do it wrong and say they have no choice
Don't do me like that don't do me like this
Set the world to right
With a bodhisattva kiss
A bodhisattva kiss
Some people think that love is just a crash in the dark
Some people know that love can be a dangerous spark
Some people play with fire and they never learn
So don't you get much closer or you just might get burned
Don't do me like that don't do me like this
Set the world to right
With a bodhisattva kiss
A bodhisattva kiss
I talked to her last night she doesn't fool around
She is the master of her game
You play your cards out right and things might turn around
She wants to know you better
She wants to wear your sweater
You know that love is real though it can feel like a dream
You know that love can take you from a whisper to a scream
Some people try to tell you take what love you can get
Some people live to give and that's a better bet
Don't do me like that don't do me like this
Set the world to right
With a bodhisattva kiss
A bodhisattva kiss

Forces
03:08
|
|

I live alone
In this house of steel and stone
It's getting old
It's drafty and it's cold
Tear it down, just tear this old house down
Forces, we're at the mercy of Forces
And it's up to us to change
Or they will throw us to the wild horses
Forces, we're at the mercy of Forces
When things start getting strange
You blame it on the Forces
It's not unusual to be cast down
And lifted up again
it's not unusual to be fated
I live up here
The view is bright and clear
There's lots of clouds
High above the town
Bring the rain, let the rain fall down
Forces, we're at the mercy of Forces
And it's up to us to change
Or they will throw us to the wild horses
Forces, we're at the mercy of Forces
When things start getting strange
You blame it on the Forces
It's not unusual to be cast down
And lifted up again
it's not unusual to be fated
Forces, we're at the mercy of Forces
Forces, we're at the mercy of Forces
Forces, we're at the mercy of Forces
Forces, we're at the mercy of Forces

The Gilded Albatross
03:51
|
|
||
The gilded albatross is free
The gilded albatross is free
He raised his head and arched his wings
And now he hovers high above the sea
The gilded albatross is free
He's soaring higher than any man has gone
And though he flies for you and me
There is no place that he'd rather be
Free no longer weighing old men down
No more to pull gems from their crowns
The gilded albatross is free
Free from the pain and from the infamy
And though they set him down in stone
Now his wings are light he's on his own
Free no longer weighing old men down
No more to pull gems from their crowns
And after all he's seen and all he's done
You could truly say his life has just begun.
Who was that old bird they sent our way?
He was an old friend from yesterday (from yesterday)
The gilded albatross is free
The gilded albatross is free
The gilded albatross is free
The gilded albatross is free

Self Consciousness
03:19
|
|||
I won’t think and I won’t talk
I won’t move no I won’t walk
I might roll but I don’t rock no more.
I won’t squeak and I won’t squawk
I’ll chase the magpies down the block
When I hear the latest talk oh no.
Time after time, I forget that you’re mine
I wriggle and hide like an eel
If I should pray, in the old fashioned way
Will it validate things that I feel?
Bah bah bah.
I know all the latest shows
The circus and the rodeos
I know just the place to go
Oh yeah
I know where to see it all
The disco and the mirror ball
I might still receive that call, oh my
Time after time, I forget all my lines
I stagger and fall to the floor
If I should say the traditional things
Would life work out just like before?
Bah bah bah.
Upon reviewing the details of your case
We have located an ideal place
With 100 maidens attending to your needs
A butler Hobson to supplement your greed.

Hot Red Muse
02:15
|
|

You heard the news
I've got the blues
I just can't choose with my hot red muse
Ain't got no cash
Just words so brash
Like a thunder crash from my hot red lass
Oh I really love you baby
Oh, I love you too much baby
Oh, oh.
I just can't dance
I've got no chance
It feels so wrong like a sad old song
I twist and shout
I'm filled with doubt
There's no way out, there's no way out
Oh, I really love you baby
Oh, I love you too much baby,
Oh, oh
Starlight, star bright, first star I see tonight
Send a song of love, send a song of peace
Tonight
You heard the news
My wish came through
I'm set to cruise with my hot red muse
Won't fall apart
The clouds all part
It's time to start with my hot red tart
Oh, I really love you baby
Oh, I love you too much baby,
Oh, oh

Dopamine

You fill my brain with dopamine and it’s hot
You fill my brain with dopamine and it’s hot
You fill my brain with dopamine, you could be my rock and roll queen
You fill my brain with dopamine and it’s hot
You fill my mind with hearts and stars and it’s fire
You fill my mind with hearts and stars and it’s fire
You fill my mind with hearts and stars
There’s discotheques and rock guitars
You fill my brain with hearts and stars and it’s fire
You fill my eyes with neon lights and it’s good
You fill my eyes with neon lights and it’s good
You fill my eyes with neon lights, I won’t fuss, I won’t fight
You fill my eyes with neon lights, and it’s good
You fill my head with chemicals oh no no no no no
You fill my head with chemicals oh no no no no no
You fill my head with chemicals
I don’t know just where to go
You fill my head with chemicals oh no!

Woman Of The World
03:12
|
|
||
It’s not so very far from where we are right now
To the place where all our hopes have landed
We live and we learn, we struggle and we yearn
Especially when we’re taken for granted
Woman of the world I hardly knew ya
Woman of the world I was your fool
Woman of the world I won’t forget you
After all that we’ve been through
Woman of the world who is your hero?
Woman of world who is your friend?
Woman of the world I understand now
I thought our love would never end
You took me to a place where nothing stays the same
And darkness fades into a sudden silence
You took me by the hands to a place of surf and sand
Where we could live and laugh like we were young again
Woman of the world I hardly knew ya
Woman of the world I was your fool
Woman of the world I won’t forget you
After all that we’ve been through
Woman of the world who is your hero?
Woman of world where is your friend?
Woman of the world I understand now
I thought our love would never end
Oh she doesn’t like to be unkind
No, she’s got a rock and roll mind and she
She likes to unwind and watch the movement of the world
Woman of the world I hardly knew ya
Woman of the world I was your fool
Woman of the world I won’t forget you
After all that we’ve been through
Woman of the world who is your hero?
Woman of world who is your friend?
Woman of the world I understand now
I thought our love could never end
Woman of the world, she’s a woman of the world

We Are Waveforms
03:58
|
|
||
Through the circuits we go
We are on your radio
We are every single note of the music
In this sequence that they played
We rise and then we fade
We are the changes that they made to the soundtrack
Let music play till your sorrow fades
And we will help you through the hard times
We are waveforms shining brightly through the night
Shining blithely through the day
We are finding our own way
We are waveforms, if there's ever been a doubt
This is what we are about
This is what we want to say
Through the filters we flow
We speak in sounds we talk in tones
We sing high and we sing low to the rhythm
Twist our shapes and change our forms
We are challenging the norms
In this sentimental storm on the airwaves
Play the music loud, let your passion out
We will hold you through the heartache
We are waveforms shining brightly through the night
Shining blithely through the day
We are finding our own way
We are waveforms, if there's ever been a doubt
This is what we are about
This is what we want to say
There are so many things to say before the turnaround
Just let it go, just let it out
We are waveforms shining brightly through the night
Shining blithely through the day
We are finding our own way
We are waveforms, if there's ever been a doubt
This is what we are about
This is what we want to say
We are waveforms, waveforms
We are waveforms, waveforms
We are waveforms, waveforms
We are waveforms, waveforms.

Let's Keep In Touch
03:24
|
|||
I take the bait
You call it fate
it’s just a game to you
The darkest force will take its course
It’s just a point of view
You make the tapes
I know they’re fakes
It’s just a joke to you.
You take a fifth
I make a myth
it's just what I can do
Let’s keep in touch
It won’t cost much
It’s just what I can do.
You’ll need a bus
Don’t make a fuss
Let’s keep in touch,
let’s keep in touch

My Song
03:20
|
|
||
This is my song
It's what love gave me
This is my heart
Here on my sleeve
If the words come out all wrong
I'll pray you'll save me
This is my song
It's the reason I believe
I believe in everlasting love coming down upon us
I believe in hope shining through the night
I believe that faith can get you through your darkest hour
And the power of love can make things right
This is my song
It's what love gave me
This is my heart
Here on my sleeve
If the words come out all wrong
I'll pray you'll save me
This is my song
It's the reason I believe
I believe that things are getting better, but slowly
I believe that hate is doomed to lose
I think that people need to try a little harder, maybe
To think and feel before they choose
Love, love says what it wants
When it's talking to you
When it's talking to me
This is my song
This is my heart
I believe, yes I believe

Fade
06:17
|
|||
I won't fade
I will stay
I will try
To stay a while
And in the morning there comes light
All the angels banish night
It's the best of times
It's the best of times
You may send it with a kiss
Signs of peace and signs of bliss
In the best of times
It's the best of times
I won't fade
I will stay
I will try
To stay a while
Sitting downtown just watching all the people go by
Sitting downtown just wondering what they're trying to find
If I had a nickel for every single tear that I cried
I'd have a million dollars and I'd keep it in a pocket to hide
And in the darkness demons dance
There's no talk of second chance
It's the worst of times
In the worst of times
In the worst of times we hope
That the strongest men will know
How to change the times
How to change the times
Oh melancholia, you've got my number
I will refrain now, and try to slumber
Yesterday's fears have got me so blue
All i remember, dreams and visions me and you
Me and you.

brick bosso Los Angeles, California
I've been playing music on keyboards ever since I got turned on to Ragtime music as a kid, thanks to the chart topping single "The Entertainer," by Scott Joplin. I find creating music addictive -- I use virtual and hardware synths, drum machines, production tools and sometimes guitar. Though for truly stellar guitar work I turn to Mark Abbruzzese and Eric Endo. ... more
