No claims of being a performer. I just give it what little I've taught myself musically by songwriting. Recorded by mic, straight to computer as sound on sound.
Born at an early age, I was just a kid at the time....from there memory escapes me, until 2000 or 2001 when I decided to teach myself guitar. In order to teach myself guitar, I took to writing songs. From there, I added bass and occasionally, harmonica and a small touch of electric guitar. Not much of a performer, but I love to experiment writing songs. So, it's nine or ten years into it so far....and I've only scratched the surface with tons to learn. Maybe, you'll find something you like on the nearly three pages, I've loaded so far....Comments are welcome, I don't expect all comments to be favorable, but objectively constructive. I make no claims of being a performer....I just give it my best with what little that I've taught myself both musically and in songwriting. All songs are either written, played and sang by myself or my attempt at covering a song by my favorite artists.

Lyrics
Dark Days Saturday, September 24, 2005 Wade Farlowe E7 alternating E Dark days, what's the harm in it G C With shadows in the mirror of truth E7 alternating E Dark days, where's the karma in it G C To treat another in mechanized abuse Am You can rally around the old flag pole Em Or raise your glass and shout a cheer Am Hide your tally down in dark, deep holes G C E7 alternating E When should we ask again, what are we now doin' here? E7 alternating E What are we now doin' here? Dark days, how come skies do fall With reflections in a darkened room Dark days, when some lies do call Defeat for brothers in smoke filled fumes You could bolster up and down with the flock Or toast yourselves and drink a beer Gear your holsters and rounds to raise the stocks Or should we ask again, what the hell we doin' here? What the hell we doin' here? Dark days inch to mad outcomes With shattered lives in pictures of gray Dark days, headlong cries how come In streets some might call home yesterday You might shower profound glory for all Or mix your drinks and shun from fear Hide in power way down, while heroes fall And you could ask again, what the hell we doin' here? What the hell we doin' here? Dark days, what's the shame of it With mirrors in the shadow of truth Dark days, who's the blame of it To reap your brothers in galvanized half-truth You can gather around Old Glory's cause And treat yourselves or cry a tear If you'd rather abound or just take pause And could you ask again, what the hell are we doin' here? What the hell...............................! What hell are we doin' here?

What the hell are we doin here? That's great! Man we love the lyrics in this song, thought provoking and colorful...love these lines ,Dark days inch to mad outcomes With shattered lives in pictures of gray .& this of course: Dark days, what's the harm in it With shadows in the mirror of truth ...super tight. All the lyrics are powerful and we freakin love emm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The pan effect worked well in this,acoustic and bass were as always perfect. The melody is a keeper , it's still ringing in my ears. I will be singing it all night. A classic trademark of our ~WadeStar~:) ;) Something is in her eye again. Music like this is what excites me...pouring on the power of the pen & song! A mighty power and you use your skills well!!!!!!!! Music with a purpose that's our kind of music!!!! We will give you all the stars we have , and I will bring more later! This is a great song and all listeners should explore the lyrics in depth. LL&Peace ~J&C to ~OMT~
