acoustic/electric/blues/jazzy/words & music from hiter-&-yon...

i have been playing guitar since i could pick one up...been in bands from south florida to north carolina and DC and even more places hither and yon, then i decided to do some recording of material i had written and recorded my first Cd "if the shoe fits" of course i ended up working with the same musicians i played with over the years...(go figure)...

i enjoy all types of music, whatever the genre...i pay close attention to lyrics...(please if you play any of my material also click on the lyrics/story tab...it's important to me that the lyrics be read) although i tossed a few quickies out like 'i musta' been drinkin' and 'stuck in mississippi' which aren't the greatest lyrics in town check out: 'if the shoe fit's', 'carolsong', 'cassidy'...

to me the music may be the soul but the lyrics are the heart...you can't have one without the other...artists should not just push buttons... if you want to be considered a musician learn how to play an instrument with soul...if you want to be considered a lyricist, write from your heart...

then you can create heart and soul whenever you need to...and with that push all the buttons you want...

Story behind the song

i tend to write abstract and ambiguous songs about people in and out of my life...but when my engineer said "so who's this one about"? i sat and thought for a few and said, damn...i think it's me

Lyrics

open your door

open your door tonight
don't be afraid to come out into the light
they say it's not over 'till the fat lady sings
but the kids down the street are wearin' all	
your precious things, yea

well silver, diamonds and gold don't always
shine that way
you may think you don't but you
hide your love away
you live within your  sadness or the latest thing
sad little angel with a broken wing, yea

just a little too angry
just a little too sad
just a little too precious
just a little too bad

just didn't quite make it
that's what they say
but you don't have to fake it
to come out and play
it's always late when you realize that this life 
goes by so fast
you need to play a bit slower as this
present becomes your past, yea

just a little too dirty
just a little too clean
just a little too playful
just a little too mean

     -guitar-

just a little too distant
just a little too near
just a little too different
just a little too queer

so open your door tonight
no need to bring the key when you
you step outside
there's a midnight rider 
leaving today
so just be ready to take off when you
you fly away
   you fly away
     you fly away...
