A Long Time

Yes, it has been a long time since my last post. But as usual, it's not because I have nothing to say, it because summer is here and I am overworked and under-rested.

I am still a CD behind, but I am trying to finish CD 5 (Pillars, Places and People of Character) and start work on CD 6, (I think it's called "Rock and Roll Animals...maybe...) at the same time.

So far I have finished a few songs:
  1. Person of Character
  2. Martin Luther King Jr.
  3. Respect Me
  4. My Dad
And I am working on a few others today...MARATHON RECORDING SESSION!!!!

I plan to work on:
  1. It Could Have Been Me
  2. A Good Place
  3. Amelia 
  4. Jacques Cousteau
  5. Citizenship (if I can get Wil to do some drumming...).
Anyway, here is the latest song I have to offer. I think it's done...maybe some guitar or vocals? What do you think? Any of my musician friends wanna add something to this?
Let me know, it's called "Respect Me". Here is the track, lyrics below...



When I look into the mirror do I like what I see?
When I check out my reflection staring back at me
Does the image make me smile or frown
Am I lifted up or tumbling down?
Is this a place to be or no to be?

I want to be accepted by my peers
Don't want to feel like I should disappear
Why do I feel incorrect
To coin a phrase, "I don't get no respect"
Maybe I need to start with me, right here...

RESPECT ME
RESPECT ME
Before I can get it from someone else
I have to learn to respect myself
RESPECT ME

Just like every single human being
First I need to understand one thing
Day by day I will improve
Learn and grow right though the roof
To realize the best me, I can bring, I have to...

RESPECT ME
RESPECT ME
Before I can get it from someone else
I have to learn to respect myself
RESPECT ME
