Verse 1 I look out It looks back I look in It looks through Verse 2 Look around Look behind Look outside yourself Look inside Chorus See it shine See it climb See it radiate see it rise See it shine All the time See it illuminate It is mine Break Do you see?
2.
when it happens don’t you turn a blind eye when it comes around don’t be staring at the sky pay attention to what’s happening right now what you’re waiting for is standing right here you’ve been waiting all these years you’ve been crying all these tears that’s all over now she’s been hiding in plain site she’s been waiting in the light
3.
when was the last time I came out in front guilty of some crime I just don’t know what I’m almost there now almost just right just one thing eludes me one last thing to fight It should have been mine some sort of deception some stone unturned a misplaced confession that left me burned but its getting closer this thing that I need just beyond my reach now I beg and I plead when was the last time I came out in front guilty of some crime I just don’t know what
4.
It’s raining again Storm coming through Batten down What else can you do Arthur arrives The waves are high Fourth of July Try to stay dry Hurricane time You can’t run away Try to hide Stay inside Wind and rain given a name Sea and sky prepare to fly Killer waves get carried away Peaceful eye hole in the sky
5.
you never know who you never know why it’s lurking all everywhere its hidden in their stare its hard to understand what makes them like this you just can’t comprehend so easy to dismiss It’s a killer No remorse it festers in side it never goes away its so hard to hide can’t get through the day its hard to understand what makes us like this I just can’t comprehend can no longer dismiss
6.
So frustrated So fed up so aggravated I just want to scream It never ends It never tires It never stops It never expires It never quits It never retires In never ceases It opens fire It is relentless It is a power It is eternal It never cowers It is a force it can’t be countered It is a hell It pulls you downward
7.
You feel the change is coming you know the end is near the situation is numbing and the next move is so clear what’s with this lack of respect where do they get off with that its what you’ve come to expect acting just like a brat I get it I do they can’t keep up with you he’s threatened you know he knows you’ll steal the show it makes sense you see that fear would be the key so stand up be strong don’t have to play along
8.
Verse 1 Taking a ride out on stressful highway #1 gotta keep that wheel steady until the morning comes Verse 2 Stay in my lane and hope that everyone else does too See them drift and sway tell me what am I gonna do Chorus can’t see anything to my front or to my back They all push it way too fast and I just know we’re gonna crash

about

Back in 2015, after completing that year’s RPM Challenge, I came up with a project to re-record some older songs and bundle them together into an “album”. I didn’t get far with it. In March of 2016 I picked up where I left off and again didn’t get far. The same thing happened in 2017-2019.

This year the COVID-19 quarantine gave me some extra time to myself that needed filling with projects in the hopes of avoiding a critical level of stir craziness. One of those projects was The Great 2015 Re-Recording Project, yet again. This time I broke my list of potential songs into a few groups of eight and planned a series of EP’s. Unlike every year prior, I actually managed to finish something.

This is Volume 1. Songs written between 2005 (or so) and 2014. I like to think they are all improvements over my original recordings. History will show (no it won’t).
