Originally, this recording was never meant to be presented as a actual song but just with me goofing around with my music gear and my guitar "The DOG" just after I picked him up from the music pound. It started soon after my new friend at the time who hooked me up with the gear that I now use, must have thought that I was telling dog tales when I told him that punks used to brag that they would know someone who could blow me away with their guitar skills and I have never seen the day to which that has happened. I don't possess any particular guitar skills but when I put the Dog on my lap, he doesn't act like a traditional lapdog and he doesn't take kindly to strangers. Especially to cats who try to invade and rule the house. Well, a few days later he brought a 16 year old cat going by the name of Brandon...or Brendon along with some other cats to watch the event as B Boy was supposed to blow me away with his PRODIGY SKILLS. It was amazing to watch the boy perform Beethoven stuff and the kind of stuff you see on Youtube.
After he played his act with my Dog, he then handed the Dog over to me..."Hey hey..chuckle chuckle" ...I don't walk the Dog...He walk's me...I just tickle his neck and belly and then he'll pull off his Dog tricks to which I have no control over. I explained to my friend later that there's more to playing the guitar than just sitting a dog on your lap to perform tricks. You've gotta have some music to back you up to see how your dog keeps up with the beat and so I made this song up to show him how that's done. I made this one up real fast and tried singing for the first time and arranging vocal parts and just talked about whatever came to mind and just let the Dog do whatever he wanted to do. This is about as raw as it get's. The whole song took me about a week to do.

A wonderful musician and friend of mine has recently departed from our world and is now starting his new life under God's great care and guidance. Nikos will do very well in Heaven and will even delight the angels with his goodwill and music. "I am reaching out to you now from this world Nikos to present you with my gift of this song for you. The melody came to me immediate in my grief. Now with great joy, I embrace you as my eternal friend. There is no end for you now my friend Nikos. Only eternal bliss and fulfillment..... I suppose that I will have to behave myself a little bit more if we are to meet again and go fishing as I have promised.
PS my friend. I do not own a flute, nor did I have any simulated flute sounds that I could use for this song and so I came up with the idea of recording the sound of the timer from my microwave and by stretching it out, I believe that I now have a most beautiful flute sound. You always did call me your crazy artist friend. I suppose that this proves it. Take good care of yourself Nikos. Eternally your crazy artist friend.. Steve.

I've been really anxious to take another stab at making an Electronic song with the little that I have to work with and still make it BUMP like a Bungee Jump. I'm patting myself on the back for this one because so far, I'm the only one who has heard it and I'm my own biggest fan. I said to myself "Steve...... This bump's like a bungee jump." ...... Naturally, I didn't answer myself back so..... Yeah..... Everything's cool..... WOW !!!!! .... This really Bump's ...... That's because I make it Bump ...... With my Bumpermatic .... " BUMP ..... BUMP !!!!! ...... You son of a bumper !!!!!"

Well, this certainly break's my 1 song per month rule. I can't help it. Halloween's got me by the Candy Apples. Normally, I create the music first and then I make a video for it later but I didn't want to go through my video madness routine at the very end and so I did a little bit of this and a little bit of that and got it all wrapped up together at the same time. I didn't have the opportunity to take the song out for a test drive as I always take a cruise with my bro and we listen to it in his car and then later I make some adjustments at home. It sound's fine to me through my laptop and the video look's okay and so I'm just gonna upload it as is.

A smart musician will always keep a secret stash of songs tucked away for when he needs them and this little gem was one of my first attempts at composing Electronic Dance music back around 2006 which means that this 10 year old song will be my first upload for 2016. What I loved about this song was that I had no idea as to what I was doing being that I had never composed a song like it before. It almost made me want to dance but I opted instead for just sitting down and drinking a beer when it was done.

Finally I've got a new one out and it's just the kind of song that I like to write. I love my horror movies and I love my SCARY TUNES !!!!!
LYRICS
Why do I write scary tunes? Cuz I love my scary tunes.
Why do I write scary tunes? Cuz I love howling at the moon.
Why oh why do I write scary tunes? "Scary scary tunes ... Scary scary tunes."
Why oh why oh me oh my, these tunes "Scary scary tunes ... Scary scary tunes."
Why do I keep fantasizing demons, death and doom?
Maybe you're a psychopath who need's a padded room.
Why do I keep fantasizing demons, death and doom?
Maybe you're a sick F*ck .... a BING, BANG, BOOM !!!!!

What do I know about Pokemon? ..... About as much as I know about anything else that I write .... Self taught lessons in song writing A: Don't write anything about your life that pertains to no one else but yourself ... They only want to know about you after you're dead and famous ... so write songs about other people who you know nothing about who are already dead and famous so that you don't feel inclined to kill yourself in the hopes of making it big in the afterlife ... B: Never write about anything that you actually know about because then people who do not know a thing about the subject matter will want to debate your point of view endlessly whereas those who are wiser than yourself will soon discover that there really isn't too much that you actually do know about and thus ... so end's your "How to do and live your life" song writing career ... C: If someone ever approaches me to ask "Hey Steve .... Do you really know all about Pokemon, bro?" ... I then reply back with "Oh yeah man ... That's why I wrote the song ... Every time I see that someone is playing POKEMON ... I know then that it's time for me to GO !!!!"
Lyrics
There's a new dance that's going around. Everyone's starting to talk.
There's no doubt about it, you can scream and shout it. It's the hottest rock on the block.
You can do it anywhere, over here, over there cuz "because" everyone is hopping to the Pokemon Rock.
Shake your head and spin it around. Add a little BE to your BOP.
You don't need to worry if you're in no hurry. You can try again and start from the top.
You can do it anywhere, over here, over there cuz everyone is hopping t the Pokemon Rock.
Wave your hands and fling them around. Take a little spin and then stop.
You don't need to snooze on if you've got no shoes on, you can bare your feet and dance in one sock.
You can do it anywhere, over here, over there cuz everyone is hopping to the Pokemon Rock.

What can I say about this one that I haven't said before? ....... "SCOOBY DOOBY DOO DOOWAH" ..... I don't think that I've ever said that before on any of my prior songs ..... Maybe I said "Zippity Doo Da" or "Yabba Dabba Doo." ...... What I did do this time was to sneakily rip a vocal line off of a marvelous singer going by the name of Isabella Peter Blue "No relationship to Little Boy Blue" and inserted her voice into this song ..... A little extra sugar and spice for this new cake that I baked. You can check her out at https://www.youtube.com/user/isaanabella/videos
Lyrics
When I was a little child, the other children put me down.
They always used to laugh at me and never let me hang around.
But then one day my Grandma taught me some very simple words to say
and now I say them night and day and I say them every time I play. I say
Scooby Dooby Doo Doowah. Scooby Dooby YEA
Scooby Dooby Doowah. Shooby Dooby Doowah. Scooby Dooby night and day.
Scooby Dooby Doo Doowah. Scooby Dooby YEA
Scooby Dooby Doowah. Shooby Dooby Doowah. Scooby Dooby night and day.
And so my Grandma said to me to scurry outside and play.
The other children saw me coming so they turned around to run away.
But then I thought about these words that Grandma had sang to me.
The other children turned around and they came back running to me as they sang
Scooby Dooby Doo Doowah. Scooby Dooby YEA
Scooby Dooby Doowah. Shooby Dooby Doowah. Scooby Dooby night and day.
Scooby Dooby Doo Doowah. Scooby Dooby YEA
Scooby Dooby Doowah. Shooby Dooby Doowah. Scooby Dooby night and day.
You don't need no distractions. You don't need no delays
to get some satisfaction and to Scooby Dooby Doo all day.
You don't need no permission to Scooby night and day
just follow me and Scooby Dooby every day and I say
Scooby Dooby Doo Doowah. Scooby Dooby YEA
Scooby Dooby Doowah. Shooby Dooby Doowah. Scooby Dooby night and day.
Scooby Dooby Doo Doowah. Scooby Dooby YEA
Scooby Dooby Doowah. Shooby Dooby Doowah. Scooby Dooby night and day.

I've been working on a very complex Progressive Trance song for over a month now but after investing so much time into a song that probably won't go over well with a mainstream audience, I become bored with it and so a much quicker and fun song emerged in my mind and so hence, the birth of Hey Terminator .... After that, I went back to work on the Trance song but once again, I became bored with working on that project for so long so once again I veered away from it to compose this new and fun song. This is probably the fastest time it's taken me to complete a song and video after the prior one.

It's been a month since I uploaded Supercar and so the time has come for my December song. The idea for this one came while I was waiting for the bus to bring me back home. Often when I write a song, most of it is composed in my head as I had the string line and percussion already laid out in my mind for this one. The trick is to actually create the exact sound that I'm hearing in my head. Once that it done, I have to write the words and then see if I can actually sing the song and decide then if my voice is right for it. I'm very happy with the results here and how this song turned out.
Lyrics
Trying to find my way back home. Crying, it's a long way to go.
I'm just staring at the world with nowhere to go. I'm just trying to find my way back home.
I've got to find my way home.

I'm starting off 2017 with this dedication song and video to my most beautiful friend on Youtube .... or anywhere else in this universe, Ivana Raymonda van der Veen. If you wish to do some more Angel Eyes gazing, you can find her here at https://www.youtube.com/user/ivanavanderveen She's got an angel voice to match her eyes as well.
LYRICS:
Whenever you walk by, I realize, my angel eyes, as Heaven owns the sky,
well so do I, my angel eyes.
You fill my heart with love from Heaven to above and everywhere there's love.
Like oceans to a dove cuz where there's love I'll always love my pretty little angel eyes.
Whenever time goes by, I realize, my angel eyes, that Heaven don't know why,
well nor do I, my angel eyes.
You fill my heart with love from Heaven to above and everywhere there's love.
Like oceans to a dove cuz where there's love I'll always love my pretty little angel eyes.
Repeat 1st verse:

As soon as I started to form lyrics for this song, my first thought was "I bet that Reekashade will love this .... therefore I'll dedicate this song to him" ... Reeka is an outstanding singer and exquisite gentleman who has supported me as I have supported him far before the Google era of Youtube which makes him a valuable commodity to me here as most who I've known since that time have either jumped ship or have become too big here to even acknowledge me further ..... "even though I'm still better than they could ever be in their wildest dreams" ...... Did I just say that? ...... Oh no .... That was my goldfish, Sid .... He always feed's my ego when he want's me to feed him back .... Here is Reeka's channel https://www.youtube.com/user/reekashade Thanks so much bro for being who you are.
LYRICS:
When I look out my window yeah, I can clearly see
peace and love as the wind blow's love across the sea.
And as I step out my doorway I can take this love in my hand.
Hold it close to my heart and soul and share the love across this land.
