Love’s All Around You

CD: Souvenirs by Andrew Pike

The Story

there are those who at times influence our moods negatively. We can easily take whats said out off context & as well maybe they have their own issues too. Dig a little deeper and likely they care more then one thinks. We will be surrounded with love & caring then.

Letters

written when i was house sitting for a friend in an old house with a big fireplace! The song is set in the 1800’s. I came up with an idea about a sailor that hasn’t been heard from by his lady friend back home for quite awhile. She assumes he’s lost at sea. Instead he’s been unfaithful to her & when she finds out… his earlier love letters she torches in the fire place.

The Wrinkle & The Fear

a woman is lost in her layers of make up & now that she’s older, she’s acting younger then she did in her twenties. Mementos and trinkets from her past, she holds onto for dear life.

Cherry Lemon Bell

CD: Souvenirs by Andrew Pike

The Story

She’s unlucky with so many things in her life. A cautionary tale of spending too much time gambling her life away figuratively & literally.

Better Than Good

A tribute to my parents care for each other. A simple love song about two people who stayed together through sickness. Basic lyrics for a simple truth in love.

Road Map

CD: Souvenirs by Andrew Pike

The Story

We’re lucky when we’ve got directions to the places we need to go whether on pavement or in our lives. Especially when its the quickest way to get there & with the least amount of troubles along the way. Of course once upon arrival… there is a good chance we’ll want to take off again .

Saving Man From Man

CD: Souvenirs by Andrew Pike

The Story

A Canadian soldiers perspective. He sure would like to be home with his family & friends rather than than putting up with the stifling heat. Trying to keep the peace between the local warlords and being part of our politician’s foreign agendas, ain’t all what it’s cracked up to be. Wonder if he and the PM traded places for a week, how long the PM would last?? While he’d be enjoying all the perks of capitol hill… the PM would have sand in his boots!!
