There's a hologram sitting up on my wall.
Sitting invisibly inviting and peering out into the hall. It's on the wall that holds a picture of our lost ones. Some dead, some at rest. Some at peace, some I guess. are still here breathing But the dead will walk like we do At the nights end. Cuz I'm climbing a mountain and I'm higher than I've ever been. Chorus And you can't hear me Nor can you see me But I'm asking you to believe me When I say I'll be fine. So when the rain falls hard, I'll know that it's you. You've painted the sky a brighter shade of blue. Listen to the thunder as it starts to roar I try but it's to tough to ignore Just do not cry anymore. Well that's what you said to me. And you can't hear me. Nor can you see me, But I'm asking you to believe me. When I say I'll be fine.

What's up in the world? Don't you know I've just got to be near you. When you're gone. I just feel so lost and I get so blue. I guess I'm gonna rack my brain to picture myself next to you. I wrote this song. About how I feel when you're not near, yeah, when you're gone. When you're not next to me. I guess I'll go on. and I'll hold this dream. And I'll hold how I feel. And I'll keep it real close to me. So I come to you in this time of need Wearing my heart on my sleeve Thinking of you endlessly. Cuz I j have one question for you. If I could only be. Could I be your hero. Staying strong, I come to you. On a day unlike any other day. I remember being there with you. And so I hold you tight and wait til you're in my arms again. You call upon me with grace. You cry on out as if you're coming out of your grave. The essence of my statement is I'm gonna make it up to you. I'm gonna come to you with grace. I'm gonna show you that I'm I feel no pain. and in the end, I'm gonna fly away on your wings. Follow me

Ben folds Jason Mraz - Dead End Eminem Elle king Rogue wave Jimi Hendrix Kings of Leon Julia michaels Miranda Lambert - greyhound bound for nowhere Rihanna Charlie puth Sia Beethoven This is a song I wrote that I have put to some music. I think there are a couple different melodies and chord progressions that I'm working with. But anyway, the song is geared towards helping to keep you in a positive state of mind. It just describes a few of the ways that I view things when I'm in a low mood or something stressful arises. Check it out.
Em C G When I'm feeling down I don't think about just me, I think about you too. I think about all the things I can do to lift you. Em C G Am Is there something I can do, something I can write, a simple way to show you. My love is all encompassing and so it starts to pour through. G When I'm feeling down I remember to take it easy on you. (I can always talk to you) Em I look at all that's around and feel calm when it's quiet too C G For this is when I'm greatest, and there's so much in a spoon. (You can do) Am When I'm feeling down I ask how can I best improve? (How can I best love you) E G G Am G Sometimes I'll even think back to my old self and relate. The days where love never escaped a single written page. Em F Em C All I've ever wanted is to prove my love is true. So I listen up with both my ears (intently) to everything coming through. C G Am G I just want to lift up the world. I have dreams, so I take them slow. I've learned time is of the essence on making the flowers grow. It's the small things in life that keep me going strong. Original: So I start by helping in small moments so they can grow into bigger ones. New 1: So I start by helping just a little so one day I can help a whole lot. New 2: So I start by lending a hand so they grow into bigger plans. E F Peace is what I'm about and love is too. I want to stop to take a moment to do something nice for you. The words they come out fast, but I am in no rush. When I'm down, instead of expecting the best, I predict the worst. Jam Em C G There's nothing you could do, to stop me from loving you. Something about those little things you do and creative ways you move. You've helped me come around, and you don't even know it. So now I sit in silence and I know this is where I can best be growing. It's time to come together to deliver a plot. Let's do something good and help out more people that we thought could ever have been expected. Cuz this life is but a blessing. And in the hard times if the worst occurred, at least I would have expected it. (It was expected) Written on 4/20 in pencil, this one is titled Thinking of You.
Thinking of You The distant moon fades away, I'm left thinking of you. The time it slips, I'm left astray, again thinking of you. If all the world were washed away, I'd still be thinking of you. So I gravitation towards the moon, and I'm here thinking of you. All the love in the world couldn't ever replace you. In awe, I'm struck by all there is as white mountains fade into view. The sky a sea of lilac a sea of colors splashed when the hand strikes noon. The windows no more and the house fades away, as I'm left thinking of you. When life it grips me and I’m alone with fear, I’m still thinking of you When the plot is formed but the well runs dry I’m tattered with thoughts of you When god appears but he does not call and I’m alone in a sea of blue My love it tends to ripple all the waves and I’m safe thinking of you. When there is no more love and the candle burns bright I’ll still be thinking of you When this life is no more and our god has moved on my words will reside in you So I’m left alone but I’m bright like the sun and I’m thinking only of you Let these memories live on when I’ve passed and gone cuz I’ll still be right here with you. This is a song titled Love for Jesus. I wrote it a few weeks ago and it is still a work in progress. I've started the lyrics with a scripture from Psalms, just as a form of acknowledgement for God or even prayer.
Psalm 20 For the director of music. A Psalm of David. 1 May the Lord answer you when you are in distress; may the name of the God of Jacob protect you. 2 May he send you help from the sanctuary and grant you support from Zio 3 May he remember all your sacrifices and accept your burnt offerings. C G Am F The love in all things floods me today Like the feelings of a radio wave When love is the conversation It leaves me feeling frozen again So my love for you is simply strengthening Like a backwards piece that slips off a table I just know when it lands it will be alright. So I squeeze and hold on tight. Chorus C G. Am. F For this love is mutual And I’ve found myself in you So I just want to prove it and show it to you Yeah I’ve found myself in you And it’s true there waiting on you And this congregation has gathered Because love has poured through (by you)for you I want to write a song, a song for you Because you’ve been there in my life through and through I don’t know how you do it but you always do I can’t even describe it’s just something you do It’s something like care like concern like guidance from above Your love leading me out of rivers that are mucky when I’m stuck I don’t feel so young anymore and I’m ready to commit A new chapter a new beginning something new where I won’t quit This isn’t just small this is bigger than myself Cuz I’ve felt my body burn, burn to the ground Your love is always there when nothing else is And that’s enough for me, in fact that completes my whole riff You’re all I’ll ever need and I’m so happy we’re in love I’ve fallen once again, I remember you driving me nuts I’ll don’t think I can ever explain exactly how I feel I’m just so thankful to be in a love that’s so explosive, so real. Hey everybody! I hope that everyone is doing well during these tough times! My thoughts and prayers are with all of you as we go through this and draw nearer to a conclusion and a solution to all of this. Hang in there as I've been thinking about all of you every day.
I've been writing some new poems and new melodies lately. I just wanted to share some of what I've written. I'll definitely be posting some new music soon and showing you guys what I've been working on. This one is titled, Midnight Blues and I wrote it only a few weeks ago. Midnight Blues So I sit, and I think of you. We plan our day and what we're going to do. Will I drift with the morning, well this is what I ask you. I just sit and I ponder, the midnight blues. So I've been washed by all of your love. My eyes break open, and I can't get up. There's freedom in the good old days, that is true. Those days we so gently sang, the midnight blues. So, I can't believe this love we're in. I wonder how many days until I get to see you again. TIl then, I'll just sit in the present moment. And wonder through this life, I don't ever want to end. So I think of we sang the midnight blues. Those days when God roamed, wanting nothing but you. He was there all along, under those starlit moons. Those nights when we sang the midnight blues. So I've been washed by all of your love. My eyes break open, and I can't get up. There's freedom in the good old days, that is true. Those days we so gently sang, the midnight blues. So I think of when we sang the midnight blues. Those days when God roamed, wanting nothing but you. Wanting to say, under those starlit moons. He was there all along, when we sang the midnight blues. How do you write? What keeps you going?
Well, just make some sound! If you love music you know how you've done it in the past. Pick up your guitar, or your choice of instrument and make some sound. That's what I'm going to do, this April. I'm just going to open up and sing. Whatever comes out, comes out, and I can edit it later, preferably, right then and there. But you can be sure I'm going to be making some noise this Spring. I'm wishing everyone a happy Easter and a warm and welcoming Spring. This week I will be working on some covers of my favorite new artists as well as my favorite old artists. I plan on stopping by at some local open mics as well as posting some upcoming shows. New shows are on the horizon and music is in the air. I can't wait to get out there and jam like you only can in the warmer weather. But for now, put your voice to work and sing out whatever comes to mind. Strum some chords, sing some notes and make some noise. Don't over analyze it, just write it. If you write it, they will love it. I will love it. It came from you. It's unique, it's one of a kind, and it's yours. Write it, leave it, and it will form itself. Start writing something new today! Peace and love -Zach Hey, y'all! My website is back up and running. It feels like it's been forever. So what is new?
Well... Lots of stuff... What Can Love Do (The Demos) was recently released to both noisetrade.com and archive.org. For a link to the music visit my blog at www.zrobb50.blogspot.com. Also we have a new album we are releasing within months titled The Drake. I did an interview with a dear friend of mine this past winter and the interview will surface shortly. There have been bits of pieces of the interview that have been surfacing but we will talk about that later. I have been working with covers lately. I think the reason, is because inspiration has taken it's course and people have inspired me to bring back old covers and also to start working on new covers. Some of my latest Brett Dennen and Beatles covers are available on my YouTube channel. When I first came up with the idea to start releasing more covers, I immediately thought of the covers I did when I was younger. Covers that have posted in the past include covers by artists Jason Mraz, Allen Stone, Ben Harper, and Brand New. I remember listing a few covers over at my other blog and listing artists such as John Mayer, Rob Thomas, Fleetwood Mac, and more. Those covers never got posted as videos though. Anyway, I began to rack my brain of who I have been covering lately. You know, new music! I know that some artists that I have covered lately include Twenty One Pilots, Ed Sheeran, Taylor Swift, Shawn Mendes, Jason Mraz, Kesha, and more. A lot of that music is pop. But I really like to test the waters of alternative and country too. Music is great, and one awesome suggestion I gave to listeners in my latest YouTube video of me covering Because by The Beatles was to press play on The Beatles album titled Love. Love is an experience and a great way to open your mind and focuso on the love that's all around us. |
