Who(are you)
From my generation
To teenage wasteland
Can’t explain
Why but in yer gut
Boris the spider
On eminence front
Is it me for a moment
Playing pinball
Preaching like Jesus
Can you see the real me
As love reigns over me
Who are you sister disco
Guitar and pen
Says everything
Call the Bell Boy
Punk and Godfather
Here by the sea and sand
Tommy can you hear me
I know Who’s Next
Like the back of my hand
Behind blue eyes ...
To teenage wasteland
Can’t explain
Why but in yer gut
Boris the spider
On eminence front
Is it me for a moment
Playing pinball
Preaching like Jesus
Can you see the real me
As love reigns over me
Who are you sister disco
Guitar and pen
Says everything
Call the Bell Boy
Punk and Godfather
Here by the sea and sand
Tommy can you hear me
I know Who’s Next

Piano (Cauldron Kill Series)
Crafted by a dead god of music long ago gone
His dark masterpiece of perfection perverted the beauty of any played song,
“The piano’s magical frame radiates a sinister glow all its own
That animates what’s played into something which is devilry wrong,
“Musical transparent notes glides once a year across the sky
On a mission to enslave one to perfect performance and afterwards die,
“Throughout the land it searches for one with pianist skill
Strong in their craft but severely weak of will,
“That would abandon family,...

Back to The Back of the Bus
Move me back to the back of the bus
where the cool kids be
no muss no fuss, just booze and weed
and firecrackers
aimed at tires and seats of open jeeps
move me please
too much heat on the front where a rear view sees
and I am doomed to please
by having all my human cease
let me be as scum and sleaze
cough and wheeze
in the back of the back of the back of the bus
rum and heathens
run your thumb above where drunk chum is sleeping
to find gum...
where the cool kids be
no muss no fuss, just booze and weed
and firecrackers
aimed at tires and seats of open jeeps
move me please
too much heat on the front where a rear view sees
and I am doomed to please
by having all my human cease
let me be as scum and sleaze
cough and wheeze
in the back of the back of the back of the bus
rum and heathens
run your thumb above where drunk chum is sleeping
to find gum...

The Many Seated Vehicle Song
Can someone help me?
I need a song that starts off slow
and slowly turns fast
One that grows in tempo
the longer it lasts,
and by the end
has gravitational mass
when it picks up
and the singer gets mad
then the song gets calm again
and it ends
as it started
Like if it was a song about a car
it would start with something simple
like
Someone humming
and strumming a guitar ...

Music Stories Episode 9 (The Guess Who - No Sugar Tonight/New Mother Nature)
Welcome to music stories. I’m your host, Damian DeadLove. Tonights band is another that calls Canada home. I’m talking about, The Guess Who. Huge fan of this band as well. I’ve been listening to them a lot lately, and realized there is a pretty good story about them.
The Guess Who are: Burton Cummings - Lead Vocals, and Keyboards, Randy Bachman - Guitar, and Backing Vocals, Jim Kale - Bass, and Garry Peterson - Drums. This was the most popular line up of the band from, 1968 to 1970. By the way that is the same, Randy Bachman that would later start the band, Bachman-Turner...

Music Stories Episode 8 (The Who - Who Are You)
Welcome to music stories. I’m your host, Damian DeadLove. Tonights band is Britain’s own, The Who. I’m a huge fan of their work, it was later in life that I really got into them. They were part of the British Invasion, along with, The Beatles, and The Stones.
The Who are: Roger Daltrey - Vocals, Pete Townshend - Guitar, Vocals, John Entwistle - Bass, and Keith Moon - Drums. They formed in 1964, with this lineup. They essentially coined the phrase, “Rock Opera”. With double albums like, “Tommy”, and “Quadrophenia” leading the way. Also these were concept albums, meaning all...

World Of Music
If I were to live in the world of music forever.
I could feel however I want.
I could be happy,understood.
And be anything I want.
I could have magical romances.
In ballroom,romantic dances.
I could feel like someone understands.
What I did in the past to stain my hands.
I would be able to rise and fly.
And I would never feel sad or cry.
Because I could listen to the lyrics all day.
Who tell me that they understand,and it's okay.
If I were in the world of music,I would have someone next to me. ...

Music Stories Episode 7 (Queen - Show Must Go On)
Welcome to music stories. I’m you host, Damian DeadLove. We’re back on track tonight, I apologize for the creative misadventure of episode 6. But enough about the past let’s move forward, shall we?
Tonights band is the one and only, Queen. Huge fan of this band they changed the music scene through innovation and vision. It certainly helped to have one of the most charismatic front men ever. But the other three guys were brilliant in their own right. The four of them together is summed up by one word. Legendary!
Queen: Freddie Mercury - Vocals, and Piano, Brian...

Music Stories Episode 6 (Neil Young - Mr.Soul)
Welcome to music stories. I’m your host, Damian DeadLove. Tonight I’m gonna try something a little different from the past episodes. This is kinda a lyrical deep dive concept.
Let me ask your opinion on something. Have you ever had a song that you lyrically connected to? To the point you almost felt as if it was written for you, or possibly about you? I’m sure you probably have, I know I’m not the only one.
Now obviously I know it’s not written about me. Doesn’t change the fact I relate to the words, and how they touch my soul. So tonight’s artist is Canada’s...

Music Stories Episode 5 (Pat Benatar - Hit Me With Your Best Shot)
Welcome to music stories. I’m your host, Damian DeadLove. Tonight’s artist is, Pat Benatar. One of my listeners asked me about doing a story on her, well I got one for you. I’m a fan of Mrs. Benatar for sure, I dig the 80’s. Well maybe everything except Reganomics, and a few other miscalculations that era made. But musically speaking it was mostly stellar.
Pat Benatar’s career started in 1979 with the release of the album -“In The Heat Of The Night”. Which spawned the singles, “Heartbreaker”, and “We Live For Love”. The latter song was penned by her lead guitarist, Neil...

Music Stories Episode 4 (The Doors - Light My Fire)
Welcome to music stories. I’m your host, Damian DeadLove. Tonight’s band is, “The Doors”. I’m a huge fan of this group since the first time I heard them when I was 13 years old. Which was many, many, summers ago. They have such a distinct sound, mainly because of the organ. I’m convinced that’s a big part of it, but it’s not the whole picture by any means.
The Doors, formed in 1965. After some early lineup changes, these four men are recognized as the members of the band. They are: Jim Morrison - Vocals, Robby Krieger - Guitar, Ray Manzarek - Organ/Keyboards, John Densmore -...
