What Nick said is pretty spot on. We write because to do otherwise destroys us to some degree. We give it the middle finger because that’s all we can do. Point out the hypocrisy, the hatred, the corruption & the willful blindness in the only means open to us. Somebody asked me recently “Yeah, but aren’t you just preaching to the choir?” I’m always mindful of the fact that words are a wave…once released, who knows where they’ll stop? So yeah, keep bringing it, my friend

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. It’s our voice, to not use it brings aggravation for sure. We writers are pretty good at detecting bullshit. To quote the late great, Lemmy Kilmister: “I will keep doing it, because I’m not qualified to do anything else.” Appreciate you.

hello dearest Damian vey powerful lyrics…I wonder how AI could help your realize this song putting music to your lyrics 💕
-
Honestly, I would buy an album of songs with lyrics only written by you. Im not even going to try & pin a favorite line. This one is full of them. 2012? Are you sure you’re not a prophet? Im gonna start tracking what you’re saying, I swear, my friend

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I am thinking when school starts back up of possibly arranging some musical ideas, using the GarageBand software. We’ll see how it goes. lol. I miss being in the studio, and using the producer side of my brain. I learned a lot working on “Heartstrings” it consumed 3 1/2 years of my life. I have no crystal ball, nor do I have any superpowers that I’m aware of, unless being a Pisces is a prophetic sign of sorts. lol. By all means keep track, maybe you’ll discover my secret, though I truly don’t know that I have one. But I’m always accepting help in figuring out why I do what I do. Appreciate you.

Good write here. -

This reminds me so much of my early writing. Back when I was accused of being morbid. It comes as it comes, doesn’t it? Sign of a great collaboration when you can no longer remember who wrote what. This one stirs in the back of my mind. Out of curiosity, how many songs/lyrics does your catalog contain? Im looking forward to seeing more, my friend

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the lyrics my friend. Our lives mirror each other a lot, is what I’m thinking. I was accused of the same. It became my calling card. lol. It was only my second collaboration ever. Quite a few actually, now not all of them got music, I usually tell that in the summary. At one time I kept count of possible ideas. I had over 500 when I stopped keeping count. Now not all are great, some I won’t share because I’m not the person who penned those songs anymore. And I was in a horrible place, it’s actually painful to read some of them. A writer leaves breadcrumbs in their work. As a writer I tend to document my life. lol. Appreciate you.

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Mary. So glad you connected with the story my friend. It did take a while to get here. Over 30 years off and on, we worked together. I think I had to get sober to notice what was really going on, while I was drinking I let it slide, probably because he was also my drinking buddy. I mean I knew he could be a real prick and he was becoming less of the person I knew in the beginning. We both had demons, I chose to slay mine. Thanks so much for the continued support my friend, I think you’re one of the few really following. Appreciate you.

Side note, im reading through this & thinking…Pisces. So similar to my Pisces daughter in many ways. Pisces are some of my favorite people. Joey…I’ve met people like him. Singularly focused with no real touch on the human aspect of the people they’re around. As my daughter would “Dude don’t know how to read the room.” It works for him, can’t conceive of anyone else being different. I can’t even imagine the feeling it must give you when people sing your song in the audience. I would be over the moon & grinning like a madwoman. Always enjoy the Damian journeys, my friend. Keep ’em comin’

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you enjoyed the story my friend. Once you know a Pisces, you’ll see we all truly do have a lot of the same quirks. Worse yet, I’m a triple Pisces!! Add addiction into the mix, which all Pisces are highly susceptible to. Joey G, is singularly focused. The last thing I ever said to him verbally, I called him a fucking narcissist! Then hung up on him. lol. Can’t read a room for sure. lol. He was the frontman of “clusterfuck” so he had to sing my words, while obliging to the audience request. It was glorious, an unbelievable feeling to see that reaction to something I wrote. Always enjoy your commentary. Appreciate you.

Im probably well off track with this one, but this is where it took me. Feel free to shove me off the track if I’m wrong. It brings to mind corruption & how weaker minds believe what they want to hear because it benefits them in some way. Thing about greed & corruption is it’s a disease that needs constant feeding. It grows on itself until it becomes a monster. But they don’t see the monster until it’s too late. The fine print is always key, my friend

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. No, you’re pretty spot on. A lot of my writes have multiple possibilities, I’m not always loyal to a subject, like my brain it’s a lot of moving parts. lol. My whole life, I’ve been told I’m multifaceted, I didn’t always see it myself. But after years of being told, I see it more over time. It is always in the fine print, and is always key. Appreciate you.

Reminds me that Tom Petty quote “I did it because I had no choice’. Some of us poets just are built to write.
