1
Fill the Void
Mystic and majestic, mostly instrumental rock symphonica prelude, with just a few existential lyrics and some improvised horn / violin synth guitar solos.

Think Twice
Rocker with lots of lead and synth guitars plus some all out wah-wah which I haven't used in decades, regarding the rise and fall of corrupt power brokers.

I Remember
Majestic rock-symphonica rendering of the early days with my wife.

Old Friend
Piano / guitar /orchestral rock tribute to a few old friends. The 2nd half of the song morphs into an extended uplifting instrumental.

Romance Heartthrob Dance
An upbeat R&B shuffle satirizing human sexual foibles, whereby our tragically comic species is ironically driven by our risk-prone sexuality, in order to ensure our continued existence. A much darker song could be also written, but for now...

Bright Blue Skies
Young summer love, the beach, and sweet sounding dual lead guitars. A feel good tune to harken back to the days of youth, and for a moment, forget about the ills of the world.

Branded (The Last Draft)
Compelling country-rock ballad inspired by a disillusioned Vietnam vet suffering from PTSD in the late 70's. He was selected in the last draft to see combat. Features a nice dual Strat lead guitar riff and vocals.

Camelot Falls
Four key changes heighten the sinister drama of this average middle American town.

The Harder They Fall
A dark, heavy, yet partly melodic symphonic rock castigation of blatantly evil thugs, dictators, hypocrites and warmongers.

Cold Rain
A moody piece of electronic, classical crossover rock, recounting a time I sometimes had to catch a train on dismal days at lonely stop.

Oh, John Paul
A dark hymn written and performed a few weeks before the controversial 1978 death of Catholic Pontiff John Paul I, inspired by a "voice" driven premonition. Full song story below.
