griffbear: Cool, fun tune. I have a soundclick "station" that contains a link to all the tunes in here -- if they are on soundclick. You should consider a soundclick account -- it's easy on the users.

PopTodd: Another good tune from you. I can't add it to my Soundclick station since it's not on soundclick (obviously).

AcousticPain: I do dislike MySpace for casual listening, but it is good for other things. You should consider a soundclick account as an additional resource.

Dan: I added the tune to the soundclick station. Good playing and singing!

Wrote this 19 years ago, it was one of the first songs I ever wrote. This was our song for our wedding dance - instead of just picking a romantic song I wanted to write one special for the occasion. With all the songs I've written since I think I still get more positive feedback on this one (at least from women).

http://soundclick.com/share?songid=7217562

My Love

What can I say about my love that isn’t plain to see?
And how can I explain the way I feel when she’s next to me?
Funny little girl that will make you laugh out loud,
Found this funny boy with his head up in the clouds
But she knew how to love me, yes she knew how to love me.

And she is good to me, yes she’s so good for me
And I’ll be good to her, I’ll be good to her

Where are the words for these feelings?
And what are words any way.
And who says what we have together won’t grow stronger and stronger day by day
Never thought things could be as easy as they are,
I thought we’d have to work real hard to get this far
But we knew how to love, yes we knew how to love.

And she is good to me, yes she’s so good for me
And I’ll be good to her, I’ll be good to her

And when we are together, how could I ever ask for more?
And she’s in love with me – and I love her.

Maybe Tony Bennett? Not many oldtimers left to cover a song like this. You did say images, didn't you?

Las Vegas and Me
http://schicksville.com/Music/Vegas-JLS-MIX.mp3
Lyrics: Cal Francis DiFalco
Music: John Lawrence Schick
Vocal: Myles Loud
[Linked Image]
Don't wanna hear, about hard luck stories
Don't cry to me about your life and the worries
I'm living free, no, I'm in no hurry
You know, Las Vegas and me

Don't criticize, in this town there's no rules
Go fantasize, roll the dice, play it cool
Don't dramatize, don't be playing the fool
You know, Las Vegas and me

I'm a swayer, I'm a stayer
Call my bluff and I'll play ya
I'm a faker, I'm a shaker
I'm your private heaven breaker

(Hey Johnny, hit me again, looking for that ace)

You know, Las Vegas and Me

So don't be surprised, when your head is a spinning
Don't improvise, when you think you are winning
I'll tell you why, this is just the beginning
You know, Las Vegas and Me

'Cause I'm a swayer, I'm a stayer
Call my bluff and I'll play ya
I'm a faker, I'm a shaker
I'm your private heaven breaker

You know, you know, you know, Las Vegas and me!

Well I've been told this is one of my best...who knows, we are the worst judges of our own music!

It was inspired by, of all things, the desktop wallpaper in Windows XP - the one with the little tropical island with a palm tree.

I must admit, after hearing it a few (hundred) times, it has grown on me grin

-Mike

THE BLUE HORIZON C. 2009 Mike Pilling

CHORUS
The blue horizon
Is calling me
The sun is risin
On a distant sea

A clear blue ocean
With sky above
Feel the motion
Feel the love

V1
Daydreaming all about sailing
Cool fresh wind on my face
Coconut palms on the white sand
Lose the rat race

Soon we'll be cutting a clean wake
Sails all full of the breeze
Real world just made a clean break
Alone on the seas

CH

V2
As we push for our destination
The copper sun disappears
The distant joy of calypso
Starts to fill our ears

A smiling man, he takes the lines
Walks us up to the town
Some rum, some lime, some coconut wine
Good times all around

BRIDGE
The moon, the waves, the streets don't have names
No-one demands a thing
At sunrise we'll head back out to sea
And see what tomorrow brings

CH

Johnny Hoeve and I really enjoyed the challenge
of creating this song''together''We wanted to paint
a different picture of The Persona Of The Jungle
With this Piece smile
This is one of my Favorites...
.....




This Is The Lyrics For :’‘Down In The Jungle:~~
http://www.reverbnation.com/matthewshoeve
[log into to hear Song]


VERSE
Wake up honey
I got this twinkle in my eyes
I’m gonna hold on real tight
Wave bye bye
I’m going where sunsets tames
these feelins inside

CHORUS
Down in the Jungle
Where my spirit can run free
Down in the Jungle
Come take this ride with me

VERSE
I’m feelin the rebel baby
This is the freedom I need
As my heart heart heart
(separates) from my mind’
I fiddle fiddle with time

CHORUS
Down in the Jungle
Let’s get naked you and me
Down in the Jungle
Come take - this - ride - with me

MIDDLE 1 (building up)
Breath Breath Breath…
The closer I get
Breath Breath Breath…
And when loves roars in…
Lord have mercy…

CHORUS
Down in the Jungle
Where My spirit can run free
Down in the Jungle
Come take this ride with me
Down in the Jungle
Let’s get naked you and me
Down in the Jungle
Come take - this - ride - with me

—- MUSICAL BREAK

MIDDLE 2 (dreamy)
Sometimes I question-
if our souls will ever touch the skies
Sometimes I question—
why The sky is so blue
And when I’m counting stars I question—
Where the perfect lovers are
It brings me back
to the thoughts of you - and me

Now I will tell what
the future would be…

MIDDLE 1 (building up)
Breath Breath Breath…
The closer I get
Breath Breath Breath…
And when loves roars in…
Lord have mercy…

CHORUS TILL END
Down in the jungle
Down in the jungle

Hi Kevin, hmm, I love all my songs, but "Don't push my button" I think will always be my number 1 song hey. Maybe I will change my mind one day, cause next week I'm re-recording "I'm Over it/I'm Over you" with the professionals, and it will be the first song I will have on Itunes for sale, so Stan, Rodney and I are very excited, and it's also a favorite, "Call a Taxi" will get their one day soon too, okay, I could be here all day, gotta go, busy, busy, busy. crazy

I hope this post stays here for a while, I'll have to go listen to everyones songs hah. love

Hugs Michele

http://soundclick.com/share?songid=6211972

So here it is: This will be the next song I re-record with the Professionals, master, and on the market. I need to Win LOTTO! smile

Don't push my button

Chorus
Hey, don't push my button
I can't take it any more
Anger, tears, the sadness inside
I know now I've got my pride
So hey, don't push my button
I won't take it any more
Stronger, wiser, than ever before
I won't play the victim no more....
Verse
There was a time and a place
I was lost and confused
Young and trusting nothing to lose
Had a dream I held for many a year
Never thought I'd be shedding these tears
Everyone around me seemed to move away
Only feels like yesterday
Weeks have turned to years
It's time to put it away......
Chorus
Hey, don't push my button
I can't take it any more
Anger, tears, the sadness inside
I know now I've got my pride
So hey, don't push my button
I won't take it any more
Stronger, wiser, than ever before
I won't play the victim no more.....
Verse
I found a man
He's here today
Made me stronger in every way
Helped me take some steps
Enough to walk away
He understands, he holds me tight
Helps me through the day and night
Never turns away
Thank God for him today......
Chorus
Hey, don't push my button
I can't take it any more
Anger, tears, the sadness inside
I know now I've got my pride
So hey, don't push my button
I won't take it any more
Stronger, wiser, than ever before
I won't play the victim no more.....
Verse
Nows the time, I mean today
Get up and fight
Fight all the way
All your anger, sadness inside
I want you to take it in stride
All the tears that you will cry
The pain will heal it just takes time
And when someone tries to hurt you
I want you all to say Hey......
Chorus
Hey, don't push my button
I can't take it any more
Anger, tears, the sadness inside
I know now I've got my pride
So hey, don't push my button
I won't take it any more
Stronger, wiser, than ever before
I won't play the victim no more..... Repeat chorus
