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'm putting out a batch of "kind of sedate" single player versions of new materials - then when Bill returns - we'll Rock Em" Up for your dancing pleasures.
Lyrics
Verse 1: Talking past others, so easy to do, especially when we're afraid of truth. Then you taught me how to listen; to know just how you feel. And now I see the meaning; I know your point is real. Chorus: So if we can't be together, as I surely hoped we'd be. I'm so grateful that you showed me how to be, openly. And when I find the person, that can surely stay with me. Then I'll think of how you taught me just to be, openly, openly. Verse 2: Keeping on faces, just to be cool, make us the player and the fool. So it's time to just be honest, and set the edges now. It's better to be up front, let me stop and show you how. Chorus: So if we can't be together, as I surely hoped we'd be. I'm so grateful that you showed me how to be, openly. And when I find the person, that can always stay with me. Then I'll think of how you taught me just to be, openly, openly.......Openly!

I really like this. Original and really well done. Great stuff, imho. This is a #1 song in some genre or other. I don't know. Just very cool music, insightful lyric and the singing just fits so well. This is pro stuff imo. Are you people pros? Excuse me but I don't listen to the radio any more and don't get out much. :) I play organ, among other things, and I really like the organ stuff in this. The percussion, groove and vocals in this are just so good in this. Listening for the nth time. :) Very impressed. Much respect.
