From the new album, Leaf Day Boys.

Worried Mind Melt Away

I get a worried mind
From time to time
It just gets away
It falls back in line
Falls right back in line
When I think of you again

You’re somewhere in the clouds
Or maybe somewhere else
And my worried mind
It just melts away

We use to sit outside
Watch the planes go by
Dream the day away
Yeah, we would laugh a lot
And make love a lot
Sweet memory I’ve got

And now you’re in the clouds
Or maybe somewhere else
And my worried mind
It just melts away

It’s been fractured
I’ve been tortured
But I’m trying to get around it
And I get traction
It’s my fortune
With your light and love
Surrounding me

Now you’re in the clouds
Or maybe somewhere else
And my worried mind
It just melts away

We would walk the streets
Put our world at peace
Spend the day this way
Yeah, we would laugh a lot
And make love a lot
Sweet memory I’ve got

You’re somewhere in the clouds
Or maybe somewhere else
Making my worried mind
Melt away
Making my worried mind
Melt away

This week it’s Pyongyang Town from the 2017 release Random Acts Of Commandment by Albany Park Wirephoto. APW is my side project started with my writing partner and wife, Kathleen White. Sadly KT is no longer with us physically but her spirit lives on in the work. This particular song is an ode to Dennis Rodman.

I’m going down to Pyongyang Town The devil may care But I can’t say why I’m going down To Pyongyang Town I’m going down To Pyongyang Town The little man called for a Soju toast So I packed my rings and a wedding gown Cuz I’m going down To Pyongyang Town I’m going down From Chicago off the ground Called up the Chief but he never calls me back No, No But a player’s gotta play and the man he pays in cash It’s my backboard to crash You can’t cry foul if you’ve never been hacked Oh no And it ain’t your party and it ain’t your crown I’m going down To Pyongyang Town I’m going down yeah From Chicago off the ground I’m going down To Pyongyang Town
