Excellent highly ranked original songs, in 79 different genre simultaneously. Two guys sound like 4 - only live, with no editing; real music like you've not he
Hey, thanks for checking out Rock On Songs(tm); the world's most heard "un-band" rock duo! That's right;, we get all of the fun of pretending to be a band (imagined parties, chicks and dope); without any of the muss or fuss (getting arrested, VD & overdoses). With thousands of plays everyday, we get maximum exposure, while getting to bed by 9:00 (a seniors dream come true). Currently with over 12.7 million song plays; we're ripping the competition a new one, and don't even have to pay a rode crew. Here's why we're one-of-a-kind: 1. All songs are played & recorded "live" in one "same take." This means it's real music. We never edit anything, just like a real stage show; so you get the real deal. We're covering 78 different sub-genre simultaneously - that's crazy talk! 2. We have two "special needs" members: Richard "Dick" Butters (my left hand playing fau-bass on a Roland EXR-3) because everyone knows that most bass players drink too much and they only are playing one note anyway; and Brazilian born Ricardo "Sticks" Mandelay (Dr. Rhythm 880 drum machine) which we use as a metronome (unsequenced), because most drummers are always late and usually get all the chicks anyway. Our human members: Bill "burly beef" De Haan (rhythm & lead using an SG & Signature Strat) & Dave "the guy" Van Wormer (keys: Korg Trinity Plus & Roland EXR-3, vocals & composer) drive the boat; turning out tune after tune (influenced by 60's & 70's British & American roots). 3. Our "world famous" News Page: Updated several times each month, we tell you the "truth" others don't have the stones to say - always true, always made up, and always nutty. 4. We may be outside of your home now: look out the window, really. And of course, it's much easier for two guys to get along and get things done rather than four (and since we're an "un-band;" it's totally okay). We're about fun & the music. We have great songs and great lyrics; make sure and go to the full song info pages to check out our lyrics (of course you can't always hear them - this is rock & roll gang!) Everything is free so make sure and "take it with you." We're starting our 6th year here and there's plenty more to come; 130 so far; listen to them all - or you will die someday.

Story behind the song
I've always liked the story "The Gift of the Magi" - so here's the pre-quill to it.
Lyrics
Verse 1: Tom loved to play his violin for people he would meet; a coin or two, he'd get a few, when playing Courtney Street. Then came fair Ann, now there's a plan, that thought jumped in his head; “Oh maiden fair, tell me your care,” and this is what she said: Chorus: "I feel your soul in every note, my love is yours to keep; Your destiny is great I'm sure; but there's one thing you need. The finest bow, then fame would grow, with greatness in your life; And if you choose to want me too, then I would be your wife." Verse 2: Tom felt Ann's pain, clutched in her hand, she thought he didn't see; the locket from so long ago, her families history. The broken case, her mothers face, all memories of home; her empty space, could be replace, if found the missing stone. Verse 3: So he searched the town, all up and down, the stone could not be found; but then he saw it in the glass, the price 100 pounds. The only thing of value, he could every hope to trade; was his grandpa's cherished violin, because he loved that maid. Chorus: This missing stone, will help dear Ann, remember who she's been; and knowing this, will help her see, to look out not just in. I'll trade my hope for fame and gain, to make our life and home; and gladly trade my violin, to give the missing stone. Verse 4: So Ann went out, because she knew, that Tom could use the Bow: the finest one, could soon be his, for she knew where to go. For she did trade the locket so dear, it's value was so great; and she would set it in his hand , when he got home at eight. Verse 5: His knees they shook, when first he saw, the Bow was sitting there; and knowing what he just had done, no words were there to share. Ann saw the stone, her eyes they filled, with tears of only joy; they'd passed the test, and built the love that nothing could destroy.
