A really weird piece, actually. Experimental, with the emphasis on "mental". LOL From the project "St. Christopher's Sin".

Mr. Majstyk (took the name from an old Charles Bronson movie that no one remembers...kinda cool and obscure...sorta fitting!) Just a man and his guitar and his music. A few fills here and there to keep it interesting. Maybe no one else gets it, but that's OK. The stories needed to be told, to be written, to be recorded and documented. Not to be "hits"...just to be "songs". Stripped down to he essentials. It starts with words and melody. And a story. And an overall musical "mood". Funny how some things never change no matter how much money or technology you throw at it. It starts and ends with the song. I was "in the biz" for a good many years. In the 70's, I was the lead singer/performer (aka Vince Diamond) in the 50's and 60's rock n roll review "Cruis'n". Throughout the 80's, I was the lead singer/songwriter/rhythm guitarist of "Steve One and the Shades", and in the 90's, the lead singer/songwriter/guitarist of "St. Christopher's Sin". Took a break for awhile and moved to Los Angeles. Got into acting and voice-over work, and while that is fun and challenging, I missed the music. Didn't miss being in a "band" per se, but just missed the creative spark of songwriting and guitar playing and singing. So, I unpacked my gear and just started writing again. Archived here for storage and to share with other musicians and "civilians". And I am back to performing live again, doing the kind of variety thing I started with, but this time digging deep into my roots and performing the stuff I heard as a child and thru my formative years..."From Rat Pack to Rock & Roll!" with legendary keyboardist David Moscoe as my music director and band leader.

Story behind the song
I was in the hospital and had read about the "angel of death". I was also on a pretty heavy morphine drip at the time, so I think I confused some of the details. LOL But I wrote it down anyway, and upon returning to the studio, TK had written a piece of this music that, with a little tweaking, sorta fit this song.
Lyrics
Leave It To Me Lyrics and music c. Steve Waddington There was a vision in a white dress She held compassion in her hand And with her halo over my eyes She told me, soon, I'd understand Leave It To Me, she said I'll take care of just what you need Don't breathe a word of this I'll make it pass so painlessly Just Leave It All To Me Leave It All To Me... I felt a fire move through my heart The earth was black beneath my feet And from the high-dive on the high-rise A fallen angel hit the street Leave It To Me, she said I'll take care of just what you need Don't breathe a word of this I'll make it pass so painlessly Just Leave It All To Me Leave It All To Me... Don't hold on to her...
