It Takes One Drop by David Husted V1 I’m like Repo man; A Glam Fan; a “Might Have Been” A Vegan tap dancing back with the mannequins Wearing Ramayana Panda Pajamas. The Joker’s, smoking, toking with Hanumen If I could go back I’d rap flap with Zappa; Let go all the Crap I’m lack-ack-ack-ing I feel little low I’m gonna re-enact that Splat Boom Bam BA-DAT Wam of Batman’s V2 Gimme a slice of greasy pizza with a bad ass Pint of Pale Ale Please Work through my heart pal-palpitations, Doctor say I might forgot my Pace Maker Tic-tac-toe and Dominoes; down in the Bat Cave as Alfred dozes Uncorked a bottle of Romanee-St. Vivant (Ro-ma-nay Seng-Vee-vahng), Cat Woman dancing without her shoes on CH Who will measure the price we pay The cost of blind faith in empty promises Are we doomed to repeat our sins? Succumb to Hate’s Loud Ignorance It takes just one Drop of Love Remaining Post CH To Change the World V3 Patterns are repeating, Patterns never lie, Lemon Drops and Rosemary; Happiness Imbibed Where time and love bend, Coming Hard Around that line, Shaping our ghosts, to move without the mind CH Outro

Virtual Reality by David Husted This cartoon menagerie is that orange, is that tangerine ah the test of not enough, sometimes I want to light it up standing wasted in the lies, the very depths of my entire Virtual Reality surrounded by such nonsense, each fear crowds into the next keep shaking their jewelry, inside the bubble of my Virtual Reality, Virtual Reality Tales wagging that dog while I'm croaking like a frog believe anything puppets on a string and if you second guess gonna beat my chest until you turn to me Virtual Reality, Virtual Reality and when the upsides down I'll spread those lies around, it's a malady virtual reality [bridge] we need to use reason I reject your ways that divide us I stand for our children I stand for the moment I stand for our future Dont let fear deceive us so step off your sidelines and bold face your bylines can we feel , can we feel again listen to the whispers of the ancient deat {repeat verse 2) ch

Come Up For Air Dm G F G Hands in the wheat fields swaying Dwell in the shades amongst the drowning Come up for air Dm/D Dm/C Dm/Bb Dm/A bb searching ancient towers Dm G F G my mind tires and wanders twilight breeze driving through freeways Come up for air Dm/D Dm/C Dm/Bb Dm/A searching ancient towers Dm D G D F# G in this deep empty silence let the fires burn low catch sparks through my fingers as I kick woodland coals Bm7 A G Through embers soft fading glow moon shadows; falling snow Dm G F G warm coccoon of the spider I speak through my ears now Come up for air Dm/D Dm/C Dm/Bb Dm/A E F#m A B brothers fiery passions snuffed on unnamed fields we hang our medals of honor This double edge sword severs my tongue We must never lose hope gurgling life blood surrendered Let blades ring Dm G F G Soulful voices, Brave Knights won't be coming home tonight Come up for air Dm/D Dm/C Dm/Bb Dm/A

Tic Tac 05:30

Tic Tacs I feel a storm coming should I step out of the way? Is your mind slipping; slipping far away? When you see that rot Will you look the other way? I am rich, I can do anything Let’s look for furniture, and Other crazy things Toxic rants, that’s what my posse craves It’s entertainment, fight the good fight another day I’ll give it to you sideways, wave my magic spells Until we’re no longer able to talk ourselves down It’s hard to walk next to a guy like that It’s hard to walk next to a guy like that Where my Tic Tacs?; Get me my Tic Tacs!! (mind stream layer 3) over verse and chorus layers Nubs and shadows smoldering in the ash can Between book stacks and the fucking frying pan The alchemist scrapes the trowel That craving for the “like” Tit for tat, the strings attached That signature frantic rapid fire Mylanta Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

I Wrote a Love Letter tonight by David Husted You’re amazing You make me laugh Facebook or email or Smart Phones don’t understand I got to write a letter Lovely oh so beautiful smile I download an App that printed me a stamp chased down the postman and helped me to deliver a handwritten, ill considered, goofy serenade extremely risky, well intentioned blind love hand grenade Those words about eternal love might be a bit too much should of just sent a postcard? and invite her out to lunch? Fa la la la la la you never know (she will not answer) only a letter will show (your crazy) with love this bright I’ve got to grab a pen tonight and write Fa la la la la la I love you so (she doesn’t know you) only a letter will show (how your chasing) an open heart so real you’ve got to go and tell her how you feel I wrote a love letter tonight just like the one I did last night It’s not nearly good enough, best if I rip it up and stuff it in the shoe box I wrote a love letter tonight just like the one I did last nigh It’s not nearly good enough, it says your beautiful, it says your lovely it says your beautiful, it says I love You You Are Beautiful, You Know I Love You

Spin Zone by David Husted V1 This song’s about you, this song’s about me The orange fall, the purple spring I’m not the president, I’m not a scientist Another Patriotic Greedy American “They’re crying wolf again They deserve it anyway”….AMEN {instrumental} This blistering sun, These no spin zones Don’t mean much, They Don’t Mean Much Behind those Huge, Huge, Walls We can’t ignore, “They’re crying wolf again” “They deserve it anyway”….AMEN Ch You not gonna let them bake our seasons You brave enough take them on Thank You Grandchildren gonna thank you someday too {instrumental} V2 Is that an ocean creeping in, is that another hurricane? They don’t see it; They’ re full of shit How ‘bout that wild fire’s rage or a bone dry lake or some fresh lead laced water with that funny after taste “They’re crying wolf again” “They deserve it anyway”….AMEN {instrumental} As storms rattle against that pain Keep pelting down the evidence, What Remains? To flood denial’s No Spins Zones or sweet diversions dried up loans What Remains? What Remains? “They’re crying wolf again” “They deserve it anyway”….AMEN BRIDGE {Staccato Soprano} CH You not gonna let them bake our seasons You brave enough take them on Thank You Grandchildren gonna thank you someday too You not gonna let them bake our seasons You brave enough take them on Thank You Grandchildren gonna thank you someday too

Beachside Drums by David Husted Are you aching? Do you hear those steel drums beating slowly? (on a boardwalk with you) 
Were we Happy? Were we Sad? Was it Madness? Could this be my memory changing history I feel so naked this fevers got me shaking flat on my back; look up into your eyes Were we Happy? Were we Sad? Was it Madness? Could this be my memory changing history I held love in my arms and now its gone just a few lines in a song just a few lines in a song just a few lines in a song and in this beachside town I still hear those steel drums ……….drumming down all those memories in the heat salty air and that taste of incomplete cause without you I am not found lost in those steel drums drumming down I held love in my arms and now its gone just a few lines in a song just a few lines in a song

SIMPLE LOVE by David Husted Summer high, that sweet wind taste like rainbow Heading out of town, top down, the clouds are drumming Somewhere east of nowhere,we don’t care where, the road is pumping Heat lights up her face, and if I trace time’s slow dance across her As darkness fades, morning waves, September coming You lean in a Hershey Kiss melting on my tongue If there is something here that wasn’t here before I’m not sure but………. I might be feeling Simple Love Simple Love Perhaps some day I’ll play and win that money ball I think I’d save it in a nest egg, for a rainy day or give it all it way, yea just give it all it way, yea I think that might be a better way To forgive all the shit I’m gonna fuck up anyway Nobody gonna miss an over-rated heavy weight Uptown, downtown, somewhere in the middle Hey you plays those keys. you play the fiddle, You tap the drums, you strum strum strum. you figure out want needs to be done I’ll write the poems. I’ll Write the Songs! , just because, Just Because! of Simple Love You tap the drums, you strum strum strum. you figure out want needs to be done I’ll write the poems, I’ll Write the Songs! , just because, Just Because! Simple Love, It’s Simple Love If I don’t have time for you, and you don’t have time for me Life racing past the window, Life racing past the trees

Tar Bones 03:24

ar Bones by David Husted The yelling, the shelling, the fractured day I am the walrus, I am the mountain, I am the ocean spray Everything else out of the way A world that slowly peels away All going silent, All going home Taking each moment’s Brine, Salt and Tar Bone everything else out of the way A world that slowly peels away in a world where nobody need go ambushed, raging man explodes I won’t leave any body behind beyond that fortified line he’s got semi-automatic I got really sharp knife he’s got semi-automatic I got really sharp knife All going silent, All going home Taking each moment’s Brine, Salt and Tar Bone

about

Influenced by the troubled world around us in which "Fake News", Alternative Facts" and "Populist Virtual Reality" become the norm it stares directly in the face of our human condition while also celebrating our Love and Great Potential: "It Takes One Drop"

This album is a must listen. A rock/pop reflection on the current world around us; it serves up a rich sound experience with driving rhythms, great hooks and satisfying grooves. You've got to check this out!
