Oxford Perry Project

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:
There was something always missing
In a life that seemed so full
An emptiness well hidden, but so large.
She kept it under cover.
Carefully concealed.
Till the day it overwhelmed her and took charge.

Chorus 1:
She didn’t know how or where,
She could show she cares
Just had find out what her life was for
She’s a little scared.
And maybe unprepared.
Looking for some peace….
To the core.

Verse 2:
The deep and crushing poverty 
The wilds of Paraguay
People clinging to their very lives.
So she joined in with some others
Who just couldn’t turn away
While the rest of the world stood idly by.

Chorus 2:
Now she knows just how and where,
She can show she cares
Figured out what her life was for
Still a little scared.
But with a heart prepared
Went looking for her peace….
In the Corp.

Bridge:
Late at night she lets back in those memories of home
Easy chairs and no despair, the life she’s come to know.
It’s certain that she’ll miss it, but no one ever sees
Her words fall soft as sunshine, but there’s thunder in her deeds.

Chorus 3:
Now she knows just how and where,
She can show she cares
Figured out what her love was for
She’s no longer scared.
Got a heart fully prepared
Finally found her peace….
In the Corp.
