Folk - Country - Jazz - Pop
A broad range of genres and production values - from studio work to raw live performances on acoustic instruments back in the days of killer tape hiss. (All were produced as song demos vs artist demos.) IF YOU'RE A LYRIC FAN, click on the "full" or "full song info" line and play the songs from there. That way you can read the lyrics at the bottom of the page as the song plays. I am guilty of all the words, music, arrangements, production, and male vocals. Fortunately, for both you AND me, friends handled the female vocals. (Thanks Leanne, Bodra, Dianne, & Roxanne!) See ya out there!

Lyrics
DISTRACTION I've heard the cry a raven makes Casting out for its missing mate All calls of desperation Reach the lonely Yes, I've seen the light, then touched the dark I've crawled my way through a broken heart And danced a while with madness When love left me But now I know It all was just distraction While you were here Waiting just for me Yes, now I know It all was just distraction Cause you've been here Waiting just for me I've marched among the rank and file Chanting arm in arm for miles Shedding blood and tears To change a nation And I've tried to live above it all Cloistered in my empty stall Praying on my knees For sweet salvation But now I know It all was just distraction While you were here Waiting just for me Yes, now I know It all was just distraction Cause you've been here Waiting just for me I've heard the call a raven makes To welcome home its missing mate The sounds of love so hopeful For the lonely Yes, I've lived the dream and woken up To find you right here close enough That I can now swear endlessly Love owns me Yes, now I know It all was just distraction While you were here Waiting just for me Yes, now I know It all was just distraction Cause you've been here Waiting just for me ©2008 Van Clayton Powel
