I compose, arrange, play guitars, bass, keyboards, rap, sing.. I just do my thing.. I played in the well known SF bay area fusion band CLOUDS in the 70s.. and before the days of all this bling I spent 2 years in the late 70s with THE DAVID LA FLAMME BAND touring the states.. sex drugs rock and roll.. had it all.. EVERYTHING.. but I wouldn't trade for what I got now.. my own way.. my own music.. my own thing.. an award winning composer of chamber music with university honors and published and recorded compositions, I am a jazz musician.. I've played with, among others, woody shaw, jon hendricks, julian priester and mike nock..

Lyrics
everybody wants to win at times i've been confused sometimes it's all been clear never thought i had nothin to lose losin was always my biggest fear I been told to wait outside not to hold my breath that's why i always worked so hard gettin ready for the test everybody wants to win nobody wants to lose we all know what we'd do if we could only choose in a different time and place I often won the race but in this new virtual world that's just not the case I keep on working hard I don't wanna be lost in space never give up is how i feel the philosophy that i embrace everybody wants to win nobody wants to lose we all know what we'd do if we could only choose everybody wants to win everybody wants to win copyright joey SUISA 2010

Nice song - like it! Also I like its text - I perceive it as a very sincere... Authentic vocal lines, perfect accompaniment of a band. The sax sounds very organic here.

Ok, after me grabbing this piece of music and "running with it" as you know I decided I hated what I did with it and happilly handed it over to you..:-) Really digging what you`ve done vocally, it`s the you I first met...Love the soprano sax you`ve added which reminds me of something Herman ( one of the rocketears) would`ve done...:-) Bens original music track is awesome, very inspiring which is more than apparent listening to what it`s inspired from you...:-) Kudos guys, you`ve got a winner here for sure..:-)downloading and favs..:-) Love n hugs to both..:-)
