Two Family Guys with not nearly enough time on their hands.
We're Jeff Oxford & Tim Perrythe Oxford-Perry Project a couple of aspiring Grand Rapids, Michigan songwriters. Tim is the word guy and Jeff cranks out the music and studio production. We're both family guys, and for the most part our music has its origins in the maelstrom that is family life in the 21st century. The Basement Bytes is actually a collection of songwriting demos. We're not really interested in being performers, per se and would be quite content to let others record our material. In the meantime, The Basement Bytes stands as our musical kick-at-the-cat. Acoustically, basements aren't exactly the perfect place to record. But for creating, jamming and storytelling, they do just fine. We are pleased to present this home-built, computer-recorded, cellar-chilled musical chronicle for your listening pleasure. We hope you enjoy The Basement Bytes.

Lyrics
Verse 1: They start out as such fragile things And in our hearts they land. Futures held so gently In the palms of loving hands. We’re trusted with a higher goal And to it we are called. Seeing to their welfare Not for one, but for all. Chorus 1: We do it for love. We do it on faith Touching their lives Steering their fate. Building on trust To lift them above We do it on faith. We do it for love. Verse 2: They grow into the mold we cast But yearning for their wings We steer them clear of greed and fear And mindless bigotry. Knowing we can never teach them All they need to know So we fill their hearts with good and right ….And off they grow. Chorus 1: We do it for love. We do it on faith Touching their lives Steering their fate. Building on trust To lift them above We do it on faith. We do it for love. Do It For Love cont’ Timothy A. Perry © July 10, 2003 Bridge: There is no greater gift to give, That means more to a child. Than parents who will love each other ‘Cross the years and miles. Chorus 1: We do it for love. We do it on faith Touching their lives Steering their fate. Building on trust To lift them above We do it on faith. We do it for love. Chorus #2: Do it on hope. Rise to the need Look for a way To nurture the seed Teach them to live And what it’s of. Do it on faith. Do it for love. Chorus 1: We do it for love. We do it on faith Touching their lives Steering their fate. Building on trust To lift them above We do it on faith. We do it for love. Do it for love….. Do it for love….. Do it for love…...
