THE SPIRIT THAT BRINGS US HERE: Chris LeRoy and Friends!

Chris LeRoy — Sat, 31 Dec 2011 18:37:29 +0000

This solo album is packed with fine songs, but it could not exist without music friends Bob Vennum, Tony Fate, Brad Vaughn, Art Shindele, Tim Loughlin, Chad Villareal, Judy Davis and a whole lotta Lisa Nemetz. A tragic tune lovefest… Chris

Vanessa Franko thinks…

“The Spirit That Brings Us Here”

Redlands’ Chris LeRoy is one of the areas hidden songwriting treasures. He’s a part of The Mighty Grasshoppers and The Dangers and so many other great music-making projects, but his latest solo effort holds its own with tracks such as “Crawl” and “Peace Breaks Out!”

FLOWERS and TREES
(for Lisa Carosa and Tim Sivils)

I took your picture when I left
I held it by my heart
I held it closer when I fell
A sacred work of art
I held your image in my mind
And I could hardly tell
When I was better heart and soul
We’d find each other well

The blooming of flowers and trees
But what of the days you’re far from me
Hope they never come

When you’ve been low it’s natural
To see the deeper side
I see the colors in this world
I see your brightest eyes
I hold this camera like a snare
To pull you to my side
Now I’m better heart and soul
Let’s watch the evening rise

The blooming of flowers and trees
What of the days you’re not with me
Hope they never come

I’m sorting out our pictures here
Like paper memories
I’m sorting out our moments here
Against the falling leaves
I’m sorry for the empty days
Before I held you near
I can’t be sorry anymore
The picture came so clear

Blooming of flowers and trees
What of the days you’re not with me
Hope they never come

LISTEN TO THE BAND: Say It Once Chris LeRoy!!!

SAY IT ONCE

House of memories
House of cards
House with family tossed to their backyards
House of vanity
House of mirrors
You can never find your way from here

There’s a window for the falling leaves
One for smoke, one for jealousy
This one’s broken
One more window, please
Are you ahead of me?

House in darkness
House in clouds
The house you wanted
But would never be allowed
Heavy weather coming down the stair
Heavy shadow climbing up for air

If there’s a window for the falling leaves
One for smoke, another jealousy
This one’s broken
One more window, please
Are you ahead of me?

Say it once before we break apart
Say it once with your heart

House of memories
Coming down
Lovers, enemies, tumble to the ground
House forever
Forsaken land
House forever
The ground on which you stand

If there’s a window for the falling leaves
One for smoke, another jealousy
This one’s broken
One more window, please (2X)
(Are you ahead of me?)

Say it once before we break apart
Say it once with your heart

PEACE BREAKS OUT
Janie had a gun
Now she don’t have one
When she woke up she just didn’t need it
Frankie had a knife
Used it all his life
But he tossed it and did not retrieve it
Larry used his fist
But he turned his wrist
He hails a waitress at the coffee counter
Suzie’s in a gang
But she turned and ran
Now she’s a model to the friends around her

Peace breaks out on the Saturday sun
And now it’s three o’clock in the morning

Thousands in the street
Beat a soft retreat
They left their cars and they just started walking
Nothing is real
Cross to Strawberry Fields
They sat down and they started talking

Peace breaks out in the Saturday sun
And now it’s three o’clock in the morning

Janie had a gun
But she don’t need one…
Frankie had a knife
Used it all his life…

Glaze in his eye
Catcher in The Rye
Goes from Central Park to The Dakota
No one says why, but he walks on by
John Lennon smiles from his Toyota, yeah!

Peace breaks out all over the world
