DEAD MAN WALKING (Official Audio) Written & Performed by John Edward LaFave (C) 2023 Howling Blue Music/ASCAP. Lyrics: Heard about a dead man walking Came to hear the words he has to say When the thunder echoes through the canyon Then you know the dead man's on his way Nothing can detour him from the mission Nothing in the way can slow him down Gotta do it one way or another Chasing down the lost, until they're found They say he's headed for the gallows That's what the word is on the street His eyes glare wide and crazy And his heart don't skip a beat. Authorities have tried to apprehend him But he breaks their ball and chain Cause you know he's saddled with a message And it drives them all insane Gotta do it one way or another Gotta find the place and time to tell Everything he's seen that's so amazing Every grace that saved his soul from hell .. (*Warning: Extreme Spiritual Content!) Nothing can detour him from the mission Nothing in the way can slow him down Gotta do it one way or another Chasing down the lost .. One way or another Gotta find the place and time to tell Everything he's seen that's so amazing Every grace that saved his soul from hell Gotta do it .. Haven't seen a place where it ain't needed Ain't no one that's safe this time around Gotta do it one way or another Chasing down the lost, until they're found Appreciate this video?

THE WAR SONG (What About Love) Written & Performed by John Edward LaFave (C) 2023 Howling Blue Music/ASCAP. Lyrics: What's yours is yours. What's mine is mine We've each closed our eyes and time has gone by We've given up love. We've all gone astray We've ended with sides, each gone his own way And then come the fights that end up as wars Where nothing makes sense anymore With walls built so high the hatred runs deep Left cringing in tears on a night without sleep Yet, neither will know the other sides fear While perched on the brink of apocalypse years And when will it end. How far will it go? The raised voice of the prophets and poets will grow And what about love? What's left of the dream? A lingering thought from a lost memory But a crack in the wall leaves our children to play If quiet we'll hear the words that they say What's mine is yours. What's yours is mine From the mouths of these babes, love is defined. Appreciate this video? Click here to buy me a Coffee (tip jar) ..

AN AUDIENCE OF ONE (Official Audio) Written, Produced & Performed By John Edward LaFave (C) 2023 Howling Blue Music / ASCAP. Lyrics: With blisters on his fingers Charley laid his hammer down Took a breath for just a moment Shook his head then hammered on All the years of sweat and labor, and the loss of days for fun Charley takes the trade he's given for an Audience of One. Lester never pulled together what it takes to make it work Lacked the mind and skill that's needed went from job to job and worse Lays his head now in the rain with a sign most people shun, lifts his eyes to find he matters to an Audience of One. She's been stitching' seams and mending things, she's given most her life No one thanked her for her efforts, no one notices her plight Never married, no one offered, not an option for Yvonne Still she finds her soul's contentment in an Audience of One. Sophie's parents, never knew the lack of peace she'd bare alone Thought the best of what they'd done, and had some issues of their own Yet through tears and years of struggle now she finds that peace has come and now he lives her life before an Audience of One. Through the years they've come and gone without awareness from the crowd Not a notice of existence for their efforts by the proud But recognition only matters, for those born under the sun who've never learned the value of an Audience of One. Recognition only matters for those born under the sun who've never learned the value of an Audience of One. Appreciate this video? Click here to buy me a Coffee (tip jar) ..

IMAGINATION IS A MIXED BAG / John Edward LaFave (Presented in Full VEHD) Written & Performed by John Edward LaFave (C) 2023 Howling Blue Music/ASCAP. Lyrics: Imagination is a mixed bag Imagination is a mixed bag Can lift you up or be a real drag Imagination is a mixed bag Never trusting what you hear,only certain what you fear seems such a real thing Afraid of things to come, like the beating of a drum can leave a real sting Hoping for a dream, you can see it right before you like a real thing So fake it till you make, never try and complicate it till the bell rings Imagination is a mixed bag .. Always so suspicious, of those ones you know so preciousleaves a dark stain Never know for certain,that what lies beyond their curtain is a good thing Practice counting stars,always certain who's you are in the big skeem Faith in every promise,never play the doubting Thomas it's a real thing Know it's up to you and me, the truth can be so hard to see, we look for it so intently Glass half-full or half-empty, the choice is up to you and me, the truth when known will set you free It's right there to see .. Hoping for a dream, you can see it right before you like a real thing So fake it till you make, never try and complicate it till the bell rings Imagination is a mixed bag .. Appreciate this video?

BLUE EYED TIGER / #JAILSONG (Presented in Full VEHD) Written & Performed by John Edward LaFave (C) 2020 Howling Blue Music/ASCAP. Lyrics: You try to tell it like your tough And you think yourself as quite a fighter Baby let me tell you this, I need to shine a little light here Yeah, you better tone it down, you're messin' with a blue eyed tiger You go on braggin' on yourself How you're the hero of the story But those around you've had enough, they frankly think that it's so boring A blue eyed tiger standin by, just might deprive you of the glory I'm here to tell a tiger's tale, Was a time I was just like ya Dealing cards like I was king, I ran that table there beside ya That house of cards came tumblin down, just messin' with that blue eyed tiger This tiger goes by several names All depends on how you hear Is it karma that you shun, or Divine justice that you fear You're gonna reap just what you sow, the blue eyed tiger makes it clear The hard rain it's gonna fall, the blue eyed tiger's standin near.

DRAWING DOWN / #JAILSONG (Presented in Full VEHD) (c) 2022 howling blue music/ascap. Lyrics: Drawing down on things that matter Drawing down on things of love Drawing back from all the chatter Drawing toward the things above Draw a blank on why it's taken So much time to double down Drawing toward a good conclusion Drawing toward new places found Drawing back from things that bind you Drawing up a plan for change Drawing down on things that matter Drawing toward those things made plain Draw a blank on why it's taken So much time to double back Drawing toward a good conclusion Drawing strength from things you lack Drawing back to where things started Long before confusion reigned Drawing down on things that matter Drawing back from all the games Drawing down on things that matter Drawing back from all the games Appreciate this video?

DIAMONDS / #JAILSONG (Presented in Full VEHD) Written & Performed By John Edward LaFave (C) 2023 Howling Blue Music / ASCAP. Lyrics: Face toward cars in the distance Amber lights flashing in time Standing here steeped in these silver streets Your memory etched 'cross my mind Collecting thoughts bout theses days you're in The cold winds that blast at your door You're losing will in this passion play With no view to what hard times are for, what hard times are for I see you stand in the shadows These diamonds like stones on the floor Walking the path of least resistance But awakened as your heart cries for more I'm standing here in this lamp light waiting These tears fall like diamonds 'cross the floor These arms are left they're outstretched to you From a hillside they're beckoning calling to you evermore So now please hear me. There's a calm in the midst of the storm Because you're dear to me, I'll be standing here waiting for you Over and over again. Over again. Now when the moonlight drapes over your shoulders And the cool winds dance soft on your skin With these perils of heart but a memory As the dawnlight and the daydreams begin, remember The riddle of night holds a secret There's a love that rains down in your pain These arms are left they're outstretched to you From a hillside they're beckoning over and over again Over again. Over again... #dangeroustimes #lovesong #jailsong #scrrecordsandmedia

EPISTLES FROM APOSTLES (Official Audio) Written & Performed By John Edward LaFave (C) 2023 Howling Blue Music / ASCAP. Lyrics: Apostles with epistles and epistles from Apostles Scriptures from the scribes and scribes who've written Scripture From books to shortened passages from passages to memes From thoughts expressed in slogans To tapping emojis Come the leaders with their letters and the letters sent by leaders All the lawyers with their laws and the laws that bring the lawyers Then, those people who need papers and those papers people need At the sound of breaking glass With hackney diamonds in the street Homes now without people and those people without homes Pennies begged by beggars and those pennies beggars beg Are just chumps collecting change while the change we chumps now need Build the rich men's northern castles For the boss men that we feed With culture in collapse and collapsing of our culture When the lovers cease to love and no love's found in the lovers It's the bleeding of each wound and the wound each bleeder bleeds Which marks what culture lacks and still points to what we need Appreciate this video?
