Counting Coins

(John Hanover)

Just an optimistic write about wanting the wishes to come true, even though you have no coins. Might come across as old fashioned, but the theme is timeless. At some point we can always picture ourselves as the sleepless dreamer.

Neon flickers 
On a sleepless street 
Where dreams crash hard 
Right at your feet 
Standing at the fountain 
 
( chorus ) 
Counting coins in fountains still 
Wishes wanting as wishes will 
 
Streetlights buzzing 
Like the moths 
Where prayers are offered 
But XXXXXXXXX XXXX 
XXXXXXXX XX XXX XXXXXXXX 
 
X XXXXXX X 
XXXXXXXX XXXXX XX XXXXXXXXX XXXXX 
XXXXXX XXXXXXX XX XXXXXX XXXX

Ferris Wheel

By John Hanover

It’s almost summer. Sometimes just barely describing something as simple as a Ferris Wheel I hope revives sweet memories in the listener. Just a quick and minimal offering, can always expand and edit to the arrangement’s needs.

Sparkle

Based off a picture, and vivid memories of sparklers ( lightweight fireworks ), with a twist about a shared moment. The rhyme scheme for verses is near rhymes.

Falling For The Hills

By John Hanover

Written for the Kinnor Harp, but could be adapted to any other stringed instrument. Trying to write original, and positive lyrics for all to at least temporarily put their troubles aside and escape. If it rekindles fond memories of hiking even better.

Wild Like The Horses

By John Hanover

Inspired by the wild horses of the Southwestern and Western USA, Poland, and Mongolia. This is also an early experiment with a rhyme scheme similar to other forms of poetry in repetition of lines. As with all my writings, I can edit as needed or work out a melody to suit any genre.

DIVE BAR HEAVEN

By Paul Meekin

This song is a clever and spirited journey through "Dive Bar Heaven," weaving a rich tapestry of Americana and Christian imagery into a rollicking narrative of afterlife escapades. Echoing the epic lyrical style of "American Pie," it blends humor with deep cultural and religious references, portraying a heavenly honky-tonk where the saints and sinners mingle over heavenly brews. Each verse is packed with allusions to saints, classic country music icons, and playful takes on religious rituals, creating a lively celebration of life, redemption, and eternal revelry. It’s a uniquely imaginative take on the afterlife, filled with wit and a deep appreciation for Americana, making it a modern-day anthem for the soulful and the saved.
