about

lots of sweet guitar harmonies...I began "chasing" these sorts of melody lines (guitar lines within the tune) in 2006. I became fairly obsessed with it at least as far as a 4 track recorder would allow one!

lyrics

PILLOW OF STARS (FATE AND SAD REVERSALS) music/lyrics: bill mallonee

pass me that paper n’ pen
and shot to boot
let a dreamer preach a sermon
and a fool speak half-a heart full
chorus:
and baby, when you love...
ya’ find out who you are
wherever you lay your head...
may there be a pillow of stars
and though fate and sad reversals
may slow your journey home
you’ll get there cause that deal was done...
a long, long time ago...

And what cha said with your eyes
was more n’ you wanted to speak
my how we use these stammerin’ tongues
to steady stumblin’ feet

I dunno why I rock this way
or why I roll with such an art
dunno why speak these words
to break my own heart
