Thought Knots

Playing around with the Fruity Loops software, this is a piece I wrote ( inspired by my recent interest in Daft Punk )
The song title is a tribute a coworker that used the expression quite extensively

More playing around with Fruity loops. In retrospect, I probably should have ditched the drum loop.

twenty years i have held onto your smile
thinking that you’d be back in a while

i was so wrong
sing your last song
forever gone
and on my own

now they days they go by in a blur
while im stuck in a life so absurd
where are the words i must say
to make sure you dont runaway
where are the words
where are the words

(bridge)
every day in every way
im with you, without you
i cannot live, i cannot give,
you anything

im a little hard to handle
yet sometimes i start to ramble on
about how we could make the world go ’round

Train station, I can hear the engine ahead
Destination, that unknown place I am led

Now I’m starting to fade, into the backdrop of this scene
Like the statue in a courtyard, I am frozen to the green

Chorus:
But I could go where the stars don’t shine, or I could follow the bright, bright sun
I am free to roam this frontier dome all alone if I try

The table of departures and arrivals has become much more madness to me
Numbers that bleed together never portray reality

There’s a ragged man beside me, he’s been busted, broken down
The only force that drives him forward is the child he lost but found

(chorus)

The dew drops on my newspaper, I can’t tell if they’re tears
I’m leaving for somewhere safer, where I’ll shack up the next few years

Every day is a dogging day, it drains me to the core
The voices that waywardly guide me are not speaking anymore

(chorus)

Maybe you forgive me or better you forget
I’m sorry for the pain i caused, I know you suffered from it

The rafters are leaking, the gateway it is creaking
The gentle rain outside is starting to subside

(instrumental)

Yet another nostalgic new-wave retro piece

Me trying REALLY hard to sound like David Gahan (Depeche Mode’s lead singer)  :]

My first rock instrumental piece. I wrote the core melody when I was about 15.

Well, the wheels turn around and around
Around and around they go
I left texas today for some sunshine in Tucson, arizon’

Gonna take it to the highway, gonna do it my waaaaaaay

Independence is great, living in another state
but loneliness it has my number, I just can’t escape that fate

Gonna take it to the highway, gonna do it my waaaaaaay

The bars have all the women but smoke gets in my eyes
I’m looking for the lucky lady, the one with no disguise

Gonna take it to the highway, gonna do it my waaaaaaay

Age is coming to haunt me and im too tired to hide
Gonna let its spirit fill me til I’m all dried up inside

Gonna take it to the highway, gonna do it my waaaaaaay

The wheels turn around and around
Around and around they go
Someday they’ll stop rolling, and at last I’ll find my home

Gonna take it to the highway, gonna do it my waaaaay

This is a short instrumental piece. I wrote the original melody when I was about 14.
