Be Here Now

Released AUGUST 7,  2020

Be Here Now is a Roots Pop Rock oriented song with very beautiful sunshine Reggae colors. Arlan Oscar’s accordion brings a tasty ‘Joi de vivre’ from the intro and throughout, while acoustic and electric guitars create an engaging, optimistic mood, uplifting and enlightening in equal parts.

The song is an auto biographic confessional about a desire to leave hang ups and stumbling blocks behind and live authentically a simple truth that anxieties of life can remove you from.

Big thanks again to Shannon Michael Terry for this photograph and the superb video and to Michael Gunnar Murray for the fabulous Artwork.

Please do play it loud when you are driving, when you are dancing alone in your living room and secretly on your headphones if you are back at work!

Lyrics:

BE HERE NOW 

My mind flutters all around
I wanna Be Here Now
Past and present speeding past
I’ve been living in a frozen box.

You, can’t hang onto the good
Can’t hang onto the bad
It comes in waves
I gotta let go
Time is moving, it won’t last!

I wanna be with you, be here now
Every second of every hour
I’m gonna be with you, be here now
Everyday, every night.

I've been running, running fast
As fast as I can
Getting away from a bogeyman
Putting up fences all my life.

Climbing the ladder of success
Muddled intentions, getting it wrong
Fighting all this time to realize
It’s all gone, it’s all gone.

I wanna be with you, be here now
Every second of every hour
I’m gonna be with you, be here now
Everyday, every night.

I wanna be with you, be here now
Every second of every hour
I’m gonna be with you, be here now
Everyday of my life.

Take my breath
Like it’s a silver spoon
Dance on fire up to the moon
Count the petals of a rose
Lie about and hang out.

I wanna be with you, be here now
Every second of every hour
I’m gonna be with you, be here now
Everyday of my life.

With You
With You it's alright!
With You
With You it's alright!

I'm gonna be here now
Be here now
I'm gonna be here now
Be here now
Every second of every hour of my Life.

Something's Going On

Released AUGUST,  2020

“Something’s Going On’ (A Song for Mother Earth)’, is an anthemic, folk rock, ballad duet. An intimate dialogue between humanity and Mother Earth is established in the guise of a dialogue between two lovers trying to save their relationship.

Their human relationship is a metaphor that points to the failings and mistakes in our relationship with the planet, imploring her for a last opportunity to right the lost balance.

The song is delicate and powerful in equal parts. The openly confessional acoustic verses take you to explosive, anthemic, electric rock choruses, that uplifts and hits the listener with a surge of positive energy, ‘hope’ in stratospheric amounts.

YouTube video  coming soon...

Lyrics:

SOMETHING'S GOING ON

I know that there is something
Something's going on
I feel like I should talk to you
We can't way too long.

I don't know what to start with
Not feeling well inside
Just tell you that I'm sorry, that I need to change
I can't continue this way.

I'm gonna try to find
the way to give you back all your love
I'm gonna really care for you
And bring the perfect balance we've lost.

I was taking you for granted
Never cared much for you
I thought you'd be forever
Couldn't be so wrong.

I disregarding your feelings
I was lying to my self
I've been always so self centered
Never saw this coming
There is so much to heal.

I'm gonna try to find
the way to give you back all your love
I'm gonna really care for you
And bring the perfect balance we've lost
Give me another chance
To truly show you all of my love
I want to start again with you
Please tell me that is not yet too late.

Your skies and waters are no longer clear or blue
Your forest and mountains are all getting dry or burning
And all of your creatures are crying or falling in to despair.

Give us another chance
To truly show you all of our love
We want to start again with you
Please tell us that is not yet too late.

I Saw the Light

Released February, 2022

I Saw The Light is The Blue Dolphins rendition to Todd Rundgren's original 1972 hit. Their special tribute to the genius on the 50th anniversary of his famous album. The track is as close as the original as possible but with the typical Dolphin’s wall of sound signature. It’s energy is as fresh, exhilarating and carelessly happy as the original and sung as a duet from top to bottom with lush backing vocals and instrumentation.
