Thought I'd invite you all to listen to some of my tunes since I always come back to this discussion for inspiration, detractions & The Truth.
lowerthanlofi.bandcamp.com/album/kentucky-avenue-1996-to-2010UPDATE: last month I took a job in Lexington (about 60 miles roundtrip from Richmond) and pawned my guitar for enuff gas $ to get through to my 1st pay. Welp we owed so many awesome people for their kind help during the UI fiasco (I lost😡) it's gonna take until the 14th to get her outta pawn now.
Separation only makes the heart grow fonder/stronger, they say.
Welp, all I've doing is working and reworking on my lyrics for some of my 'better' songs (imo) these past few weeks.
It's been a good break (esp. for my wife lol - God bless her for putting up w. me all of these years❤) and now I have new Zest, Vigor and Determination for songwriting and have amassed about 30 songs to work on, esp. w. my cowriter friend Todd G.
Here's my latest classics/unhits- see link above: and AS ALWAYS - CRANK 'EM!!!!!😝
Now I'm Feeling Very Sober
----------------------------------------------
I don't have the time
To base my life upon
Every once in awhile
Long forgotten dream
I had to add it up
I had to change my mind
For different reasons
That weren't altogether mine
Now I'm feeling very sober
Been taken back, been taken bye bye
Innocence I'll never take it over
That's not my style
Now I'm feeling very sober
I've drawn a line and drawn you over
Since I let it go so long
It's about time
Once I had an act
Now I am trying to get it together
For once and for always
And how this all applies
Given specific rights
Addressing concerns and protecting
Defective parts

Sorry Excuse
-------------------
I'm just a sorry excuse
For the lover you knew
Who once ate candy
From your hand
I'm a bit delayed
Yet underinflated
And I doubt you'll
Understand
I'll be the one who's not enough
To satisfy your smallest desires
I'll be the one who's not enough
Stuck outside this insidious quagmire
With things related
Yet understated
I'll doubt to compromise
Within new relations
With those unrelated
I doubt you'll compromise
I'll be the one who's not enough
To satisfy your smallest desires
I'll be the one who's not enough
Stuck outside this insidious quagmire
If you knew that you really
Want to and you really really
Want to and you never really
Could
You and I could be together
But we never really ever
And we never really should
Stuck outside this insidious quagmire
Stuck inside this outsidious* quagmire
Stuck outside this insidious quagmire
Stuck inside this outsidious quagmire

*Def.
Outsidious:
-adjective-
proceeding in an overly obvious, not so subtle manner, with harmful intentions intended.
NOTES: This one was written during/because of the "Happy Metal" period of the 1980s/1990s where practically EVERY song was sung by a 'Tom Cruise type/perfect man' about how great they would be/are, I decided to tell my potential suitors the complete opposite.🤔😝lol
