Take The Sleek Train Official Music Video

TAKE THE SLEEK TRAIN

Take the sleek train

Over there

Winds past the snowcaps

Leave your cares

Let it rumble real proud

Watch it vibrate all your clouds


Eagles and the ocean

Waterfalls unfrozen

I’ll find the locomotion

Can soothe my emotion

Take me to the rivers, the mountains way up high

Got my ticket in my pocket tight

Let’s get out of here

Let me see some light

We’ve been living in cement

And I need to see some space

The Perfect Love Affair

The Perfect Love Affair

When I am weary

And I am teased

I keep looking for something

Something’s looking for me

I’m not too busy

I am not too proud

I guess I’m just lonely

I’ll say it out loud



I need a distraction

I need an okay

That I’m still desired

I’ll swing and I’ll sway

I’m a bold looking cougar

I join the cub’s play

I’m looking for something

That leads me astray



Eyes that haunt me

Lips that taunt me

Arms around me

Love it drowns me

I have waited hesitated

For you dear and now you’re here

It’s true the perfect love oh love affair

The perfect love, the perfect love oh love affair



A voice it calls me

Whispers softly

Hold me closely

Kiss me gently

I have waited hesitated

For you dear and now you’re here

It’s true the perfect love oh love affair

The perfect love the perfect love oh love affair

No More Reprise Video

No More Reprise

No more sleeping in this bed

No more tears about you shed

No more lying to keep me sane

No more playing I’m out of the game



Tried to love you Did my best

You’re no different, you’re no different

You’re just like the rest

Gonna leave you, gonna watch you go away hey hey hey yeah



No more counting on you to change

No more why you acting strange

No more listening to your woes

No more waiting, I’ve packed your clothes.

BACKSTORY

Sometimes enough is enough and you gotta say no more! Union of self  :)

Fire Flames

Fire Flames

Does it feel okay?

Or do you push away

When she touches you



You are slippery

A fool’s tongue gold

Hides blue risks mounting

Fortunes told



I am reigning

For this flight

We might get there

To heaven’s light

I am going

Lead the way

Freedom finds me

Redemption wanes



We are climbing

Into her veins

Betrayal washes

The fire flames



When you are not lying

And I stop crying



Does it feel okay?

Or do you push away

When she touches you, when she touches you

And is the writing on the wall

And whose name do you call

In the heat of the night

In the heat of the night



I am going lead the way

Freedom finds me

Redemption wanes



We are climbing

Into her veins

Betrayal washes

The fire flames, the fire flames…..

BACKSTORY

Fire Flames is about passion and betrayal. 

DIZZY

DIZZY

DIZZY

Under the moonlight

The dark liquid sky

There’s no escaping

The sweltering shy

We get up gently embark to be led

Nighttime tawdry’s and bawdiness bed



I get all lost in the word we call friends

I get all dizzy and you say amen

I’ll never get there as long as I stay here with you

Dizzy, I feel so dizzy I’m getting dizzy with you

We get all crazy and downward we fall

I want to get it without risking it all

If you will get there I’ll save you these songs

What comes what may CHORUS



And when we get there and all that you said

I gotta fight it get out of my head

You’ll know there’s something wrong about now

I’ll try to fight it a floating black cloud



I guess what you say is true

But I find love in the best that you do

Think I’ll get there then along comes rain

As time goes away CHORUS



Time to set you free Living on a dream

Time to set you free

Living on a dream, dream, dream



Railroad tracks

Upon her arms

Of charms

She comes down at night

Hair, chiffon, cold delight

Perfume filled the stale old blight

Antique bathtubs drown and

Hide in cellar rooms

Dusted and dancing in the dim light

Time hurried by

Left her countless suitors tied

To posts and beguiled why

A lusty throaty laugh

Too soon to hide the salty streams

On cheeks rouge ruined

And rogue free

Paradise was never this sweet

The dragons chasing their tails

And tales bring the godly we meet

Paradise was never, was never this sweet



I get all dizzy inside of my head

I want to get it and you say we’ll go there

We’re gonna get there I ‘ll take you home

Then back to you it seems

BACKSTORY

This is one of those songs that I am not quite sure what the song means. It is a stream of consciousness writing style and I just liked how the tune flowed and I love playing this song. Let the song be whatever it wants to be for you.

Today Music Video

TODAY

I am going to face the wall

Reaching inward judgment call

Faithful willing flying free

Finally able just watch me



Lifeless riots violence chained

My cage is quiet my senses tamed

Mind is aching my soul is cleaned

Muscles ripping just watch me



Today I’m rushing forward with light

Isn’t it bright

Today I’m pushing forward with grace

In the lull we go back these four walls fill it all

BACKSTORY 

I wrote this song last fall when deciding to have colon resection surgery at Christmas. I had made up my mind and I was determined to follow through and take the specialist and surgeon's advice. For me this song is about determination and having faith, trusting that things will work out and within.

How Would We Know

Happy Halloween To You and Happy Anniversary Alice!
Halloween marks our first and 26th anniversary so seems fitting to post this new music video as Alice was the muse for this song, believe it or not 26 years ago! The song was prophetic! At the time Alice didn't think much of the tune but last year we came across this old song and we both loved it and knew the time had come to record it. Adam added a reggae/ska feel and voila .....

HOW WOULD WE KNOW

Eyes so bright they shine at me

Lips that whisper sweet

Arms that hold me all through the night

How would I know

True love I’d find



Do you remember oh way back when?

So many lonely nights

Then we sent our hearts out to the open sky

How would we know Our souls entwined

How would we know Our souls entwined



Send me a rose scented and red

One that will grow and knows no death

Send me a rainbow

Promise no end of love



Looking for you oh in my dreams

And you in yours for me

Then came the moment we would finally meet

And make our dreams reality



Found me a rose scented and red

One that will grow and knows no death

You found a rainbow

Promise no end of love

How would we know that soon we’d find

How would we know our souls entwined

Lightning Strikes Video #2

This week its Lightning Strikes Twice! This bluesy rock tune set in a claymation video just in time for Halloween. Enjoy!

lyrics

Lightening Strikes Twice

Lightening strikes, it strikes twice

Yeah lightening strikes, strikes twice

Devil and the deep blue sea Oh my baby and me

We saw lightening strike, strike twice

Devil and the deep blue sea Oh my baby and me

We saw lightening strike, strike twice



Walked from the bayou to the back of the bay

We found ourselves stranded when it started to rain

We had cover in a cabin on cliff where we prayed

A crackling white light and a bellowing boom gave way

CHORUS

Spotted in the distance was a man dressed in red

His hands raised up to heaven, he called on the dead

Floating ‘round in circles was his boat on the bay

A second white lightening connected the red devil’s grave.
