The Other Me
Got this person in my head I used to think he was me Now I see him as my enemy He tells me I’m no good Tells me, I’m a failure The voice is mine But these are not my words Sometimes, he changes tune Tells me I’m the shit The bees knees But I don’t believe him Not one bit Then sometimes He likes to make me doubt Lose my trust In the stream of life Fills my head with angst And bitter strife But, I found him out! The voice is a liar The voice isn’t me He’s a bloody whiner Chattering incessantly I’m not listening anymore Not reacting to his Endless narrative It’s my life Not his I don’t know who it is This voice that sounds

After my interview on Radio Memphis a few months ago, I stayed in touch with the DJ – Dianna – recently sending her my two latest songs – This Is Your Song (available on all digital outlets) and the soon to be released It’s My Life. Plainly, I touched her with what I wrote…. here is the story and the broadcast segment below…. Radio Memphis Around the World airs every Saturday afternoon from 1:00 PMCT – 5:00 PMCT. This is when Radio Memphis gets to step outside of Memphis and the Midsouth to listen to all kinds and styles of music from other cities and countries. And we’re here to tell you that our planet rocks. Because of this, Dianna gets a lot of mail. She has decided that what

A few on my song releases have done quite well…. Talk, Talk for example has had over 2000 Spotify plays while End of the World is now over 1000. However, This is Your Song, the latest release, is doing something I have never seen before. Yet to make 100 plays but…. it has been listened to in 21 different countries in the first week of its release from Mexico and the USA to Chile, Columbia, New Zealand and European countries. This is astounding to me. I’m not even sure how someone in Mexico discovers one of my songs? I’m rather hoping it builds a group of listeners who perhaps place it in their playlists. For us Indie musicians, getting in a playlist is the motherlode as it guarantees listeners. So,

It’s just a song Playing on the radio Crossing the planet On the airwaves It’s just a song A collection of words Pretending To be poetry Yet it evokes Such thoughts Such passions Patterns in life Streaming visions Other possibilities Touches the soul Makes the whole Ignites the embers As mind remembers It’s just a song A throw away item As plastic as can be But it sets me free

It’s been sometime coming. But, finally, I declare myself FREE. In the words of this latest song… It’s my life, It’s my life, It’s my life and I’m going to live it! In recent weeks, many things have changed and some very important people have entered my life. The Universe has been kicking my ass! So, here is my anthem – take a listen… Plainly, this moment was coming for as I wrote End of the World – It came to me in silence Came as if in a dream It was plain to see Nothing I could do That’s when I saw you Eyes met across the room Now I’m with you The end of things is coming It’s all a matter of time It’s plain to see Nothing

Can you imagine a feeling so deep That you suddenly lost your way? The moment drifts off somewhere And there is nothing to say? Suddenly, the world is gone And the two seem as one The world stopped just for a moment It simply disappeared As if never there at all And everything important Became meaningless and trite And the moment simply was Tears come from nowhere Indescribable feelings so deep So intense There is no longer pretence No longer a care Drifting somewhere On the edge of love

Recently, I wrote what I happen to think is a rather beautiful love song and fully intend to put it out on spotify etc. as well as make a video for it….. Then I thought, you know what, let’s have a producer take a look at it and see if they can make it sound better. I hated his first version which you can hear here but take 2 I like. The problem is his take better or my original? Any comments appreciated. Producer Version Original Version

The stream flows by Bubbling, laughing at the sky And its crystal depths Remain unfathomable It is Eternal fullness Reflecting the sky I am a ripple Disturbing its surface Distorting Cavorting Playfully Not understanding why A part of the whole A communal soul Adding something Indeterminable Yet, beautiful To reality
