about

A track written for my CoVid depressed daughter. I'm proud of the jazzy chords I use and the samba rhythm.

lyrics

Love means what to you, my dear?
Just a means to make your feelings clear?
Is it a way to hope
A way to heal
A way to have fun
A way to deal

Love is not a one-way ride
Ms. Houston said it best before she died
Is it a means to show
What others need to know?
Is it a way to give
While you refuse to live?

Please try your best to understand
There’s no supply without demand
You never seemed to have learned
That what you give you’ve also earned

I know that it’s not easy
To think in such strange ways
You think that you are greedy
To hear your own self-praise

It’s time to reach your inner crazy
To cast out your own malaise
‘Cause that’s the way it isn’t
Or that’s the way it stays

I know that it’s not easy
Your head’s in such a daze
Your brain is poisoning your heart
In a million different ways

It’s time to give the greatest love of all
To blast a hole out of this maze
‘Cause that’s the way it isn’t
Or that’s the way it stays

Grief brought me back to music..

Six years after the death of my brother I started writing again. This album came out of that.

I think I tapped into something, but I guess it's not up to me to decide that claim. I hope people connect with both the raw grief I express and the recovery from that grief. ... more
