about

"Fate Plays The Bully" was composed in 1985 when I was starting to heal after my adventures playing clubs in Los Angeles and Hollywood.

lyrics

In the strange eyes of a stranger
In the stage glow of the show
The feeling in his heart is danger
Though a miracle won’t let it show
Language is the only barrier
In this midnight masquerade
He's losing all his thoughts to tell her
All the dreams and plans he’s made
And if he had the chance
To do it all again
He'd be running
From the lion’s den
She is leaving it seems
(now that she's gone)
Fate plays the bully
She’s taken all his dreams
(it feels so wrong)
She looks so pretty
But she stays behind the scenes
Till fate
Plays the bully again
Suddenly the focus changes
There’s something that she needs to know
He'll be in her arms tomorrow
With the formula for dancing slow
And if he had the chance
To do it all again
He'd be running
From the lion’s den
She is leaving it seems
(now that she’s gone)
Fate plays the bully
She’s taken all his dreams
(It feels so wrong)
She looks so pretty
But she stays behind the scenes
Till fate
Plays the bully again
She is leaving it seems
(now that she’s gone)
Fate plays the bully
She’s taken all his dreams
(How to be strong?)
She looks so pretty
But she stays behind the scenes
Till fate
Plays the bully again

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
