Writing New Songs.

It's a challenge writing new songs. But it is a good way to move forward.

On Monday November 9th is the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. i thought i would post a song i wrote when i was in Berlin in 1984. It was a Cold November day and i remember thousands of Ravens flying around this stormy Wall. You could feel the tension.

The song was recorded by my band Tulpa in the 1980's on the LP Mosaic Fish.

Crosses on the Berlin Wall.

Soldier standing with a gun

shadows fall departing sun

Iron Curtain painted gray

black silhouette handshake away

damp autumn cold wind blows

Bang bang bang here we go

Crosses on the wall

Crosses on the wall

Foggy ruins in the distance

flock of ravens no expectation

checkpoint charley western glow

barbed wire fence gray stone road

born in a prison freedoms a crime

price of freedom

could cost you a lifetime

Crosses on the wall

Crosses on the wall

Psychedelic graffiti-Tombstone Moss

High fashion Mannequin-stray dogs

"Tiny purple fishes run laughing through your fingers"
