I wrote it for my wife when we first started dating, she lived in Europe and I in the US

I wrote this in a 747 on the back of a cocktail napkin, on my way to visit a girl I met in NYC who was from Hungary. I almost missed the connector in London, ran all over Heathrow. I finished the song in Budapest . We were married about t year later.

the sound of the ocean

well i could live on the sound of the ocean
i could live on the smell of the sea
& i could live on the sun on the horizon
but i would die if i knew you did?nt love me
if i knew you did?nt love me

i could live on the smell of your perfume
i could live on the touch of your hair
i could live on the way that you look at me
but i would die if i knew you would?nt be there
if i knew you would?nt be there

i don?t want to know
i don?t even care
all i need is the sound of the ocean
i don?t want to know
i don?t even care
all i need is the sound of the ocean

take me back, to long ago
when you held on tight
and said don?t ever let me go

well i could live on the sound of the ocean
i could live on the smell of your sweet perfume
and i could live on the way that you look at me
but i would die if i knew you didn't love me

refrain

take me back, to way back when
when we held each other tight
and said we?d never love again

This is a song that explains investigates coming to grips with the way people view you.

This is a take me or leave me song; I don't really care what you think, this is who I am, and I don't really need to be validated; I'm past that point-cathartic if you will. I wrote this as the title track to my last album to put a lot of issues to rest.

Who I am

when I think about all the stupid things I have done
it's quite remarkable I'm standing here before you
are you quite impressed, with all my tenderness
do you seek happiness like me

when I think all the good times i have had
it's quite remarkable i'm standing here before you
are you quite a mess, with all this tenderness
do you seek happiness like me

well i admit to being not exactly perfect and
and i admit to watching way too much mtv
and i admit to living life without a purpose
are you strong enough, are you man enough
do you seek happiness like me

who i am, who i am is not important to me
it's just the message i bring of peace and serenity
who i am, who i am is not important
are you strong enough, are you man enough
do you seek happiness like me

I was watchng the news and saw a picture that inspired the song.

I saw an image in the first Balkan War. A once beautiful woman who had suffered terribly from the war;you could see her devastation in the lines of her face. She was with her little boy who was helpless but putting on a brave face. It was a heartbreaking

pretty face

what has happened to your pretty face
the lines are deeper than i remember
what has happened to your pretty, pretty face
you?ve gone from may right to december

you know it's hard to think you just don?t remember
you know it's hard to think you just don?t care


what has happened to your pretty voice
you sound so tired and disenchanted
do you remember when i was a little, little boy
you said you'd take me to atlantis

you know it's hard to think you just don?t remember
you know it's hard to think you just don?t care


anytime you fall, anytime you leap
anytime you call i will be there
anytime you cry, anytime you weep
anytime at all i will be there
anytime at all, anytime at all
anytime at all i will be there

what has happened to your pretty face
the lines are deeper than i remember
what has happened to your pretty, pretty face
you?ve gone from may right to december

you know it's hard to think you just don?t remember
you know it's hard to think you just don?t care

anytime you fall, anytime you leap
anytime you call i will be there
anytime you cry, anytime you weep
anytime at all i will be there
anytime at all, anytime at all
anytime at all i will be there

A very tongue in cheek song abut a girl telling a guy he's nuts, he leaves and justifies his leaving by the menatl illness she has accused him of...

I think everyone has had a Jane in their life-this was mine.

Jane

hurry back was all she said
she said i've seen this act and it's all just in your head
she said the flowers bloom in spring
so forget about everything
so i took your advice but i forgot about you instead

cause jane, it's all in my head
well i said jane, it's all in my head
well i said jane, it's all in my head
well i said jane, it's all in my head

there aint no use in looking back what's done is done and will stay done
and all those skills you lacked you can give back when your done
cause nothing's changed inside of me
i'm just the devil in the deep blue sea
and your so right that ia want all the world to hear me when i say

jane, it's all in my head
well i said jane, it's all in my head
well i said,jane, it's all in my head
well i said,jane, it's all in my head

no doubt about it
i just want to stand up and sing about it
cause your so right that i want all the world to hear me when i say

jane, it's all in my head
well i said jane, it's all in my head
well i said,jane, it's all in my head
well i said,jane, it's all in my head

A song about wishing your ex well, people break up every day all over the world. No hard feelings.

grey sky

she was lighter than air, fast all around
this one left without even a sound
the prettier she is, the harder i fall
this girl i think has taken it all away,
she's taken it all away
she's taken it all, away, she's taken it all

i thought i'd been through it all,
talking straight from the heart
this girl is falling apart
she's standing before you at the risk of being used
the one thing i'm sure of is i'm totally concerned about love
cause she's taken it all away, she's taken it all away
she's taken it all

it's a grey sky and i still love you
it's a long time, wish you were here
it's a grey sky and i'm thinking of you
i hope that god looks down and smiles on you

materialistic people

I was dating a "super model" wannabe who was incapable of seeing life outside of her own littel world. Every reflex was timed and rehearsed to get the maximum benefit from the "audience". When you look up "shalow" in the dictionary her picture will be the

everything you do

what did you say that accent was, from the fashion district
you know it's quite hard to believe

and those purple eyes you have, you know they're quite sadistic
i'm gonna ask you now to leave

cause everything you do you do for you
cause everything you do you do for you
cause everything you do you do for you
cause everything you do you do for .....

are those your fingernails, you know they're quite horrific
are they linked to some disease

ya know i've been looking but i hav'nt seen that color in nature
is that your hair or just a weave

It is really about soul searching, the why are we here part of life. Does God exist> It is not a Christian song, God is what you make of Him/Her/It.

I think everyone has the "Why Am I Here Monets in life and I am no exception. I write dowmn what I was feeling that day.

god can feel your pain

sometimes life can fill your cup
with coffee instead of tears
and sometimes life can bring you luck
but it does?nt have to happen every year

and always comes the pain
to whatever, wherever you are

but god can feel your pain
wherever you are

sometimes life can be so tough
that you can?t bear to shed another tear
and just when you feel like giving up
you understand that life is all about your fears
cause always comes the pain
to whatever, wherever you are

and god can feel your pain
wherever you are

when you?re begging for forgiveness
you fall down on your knees
but you?re trying to go the distance
and you still don?t know, and you still want to show
cause you are blind but you still can see
you are blind but you still can see that?.

god can feel your pain
cod can feel your pain, wherever you are

another day in a life of pople coming together and going apart....

breakup, nuff said

another day

another day, another night
another hour, just passed us right by

take one more sip, from another glass of wine
take one more hit, everything will be fine

and i look at you, tears stream down your face
you're so out of touch, you're so out of place
at a different time, at a different place


i look at you, you look straight ahead
sometimes you think, i'd be better off dead

so take one more sip, off another glass of wine
just take one more hit, everything will be fine

and i look at you, tears stream down your face
you're so out of touch, you're so out of place
at a different time, at a different place

I have always fkt that if God exists, now would be a good time to come down from On High and help us out a little. I mean...WE'RE DOWN HERE!

This is an angry gospel song I wrote after finding out a very good friend of mine had luekemia- a great woman-I mean if God can take her then WTF? I remember I got very upset with her husband for cursing God ( I mean really cursing God-even offended me an

jesus

a bullet flies, then a young girl screams
and a young man falls into his shattered dreams
and he sees his lover, at the hospital gates
not a second too soon, not a second too late

she hates religion, but she prays to jesus
it's already been written, so she does as she pleases
so she sees her lover, off at heavens gates
such a terrible price for a terrible fate

*so she screams, please help me jesus
the whole world's gone mad
so stan does as he pleases
and there ain't no justice, only diseases
so the good die young
while the bad just tease us

a young girl cries, she looks around for jesus
and she screams why, why, why he was only nineteen
and her rage is like thunder, in the middle of the night
it'a all a terrible dream on a terrible night

silly song

I had a dream I was kidnapped by some really friendly aliens one night and when I woke up I remembered the song that they taught me in mty dream-it's the opening volley on this song.....oooeeeeuuuuuwoooo.....

planet mars

show me where
have you written in my book
did you know i?d take a look
have you gone out of your minds

show me where
it is written in the stars
have you come from planet mars
have you lost all sense of hope

where are you taking me
i will go willingly
ain't never been to outer space

there was a time
i?d most certainly decline
i just wouldn't have the time
ain't it funny times have changed

it was the middle of the night
i was surrounded by bright lights
we disappeared into the bright atomic haze

where are you taking me
i will go willingly
ain't never been to outer space

love don't come easy these days

I was in a major recording studio in the Big Apple and I as f-ing around with a hook I had written the nigt before. My (big time) producer heard it and asked me to play the whole song-obviously I couldn't because it was not finished. Anyhoo-I banged out t

love don?t come easy

almost like a dream, it seems so far away
over and over i hear lovers say
love is a game we lovers play
over and over every day
i just can?t make it through another night on my own
over and over i hear them moan

it?hard to believe that dreams can fade away
but again and again i hear it every day
love is a game we dare to play
over and over every day
i just can?t make it through another night all alone
and over and over i hear them moan

they say that love don?t come easy these days
love don?t come easy these days
love can vanish
in a cold new york haze
they say that love don?t come easy these days

night after night i lie awake in my bed
visions of you are running round in my head
day after day i walk the streets on my own
night after night i lie awake, all alone.. thinking?..

Ballad that looks at one's search for spirituality

the river

i?m looking for a river
that flows into the sea
that acts just like a mirror
between the outside and me

i?m looking for an angel
who?s looking out for me
but i?m not afraid of danger
and it?s not afraid of me

i do believe i?m sinking down
caught unaware, never heard a sound
these are the hands of fate i?ve found

i?m looking for some answers
i?m looking to be free
from the anger and the sadness
will they ever let me be

cold cold heart

does it really matter
if i called you by your name
could you talk a little louder
can you say it very plain

tell me what your thinking
have you figured it all out
i know there's times you don't believe me
but i hate to see you you
t
i believe, in my mind
sometimes you love a little deeper
when that love of yours is blind

i believe, in my heart
sometimes you shake a little harder
when you shudder from a cold, cold heart

well i believe that, as you grow older and older
i believe that you saw it right from the start
and i believe that as we grow bolder and bolder
i said it before that you shudder from a cold, cold heart

tell me are you happy
have you finally lost your mind
it is a world of infinite sadness
& were all just sitting here doing time

does it really matter
if i called you by her name
can you talk a little louder
cause it's driving me insane
