"I Said a Prayer For a Turtle", A song of hope... By Tyler Selph copyright 2019 I know I should have turned the phone sideways but when your driving sometimes you do what-ever it takes to capture the moment. This song just goes to prove you can be inspired to write about just about anything. I hope you enjoy my improvisational acapella tune about a little turtle.

Hey everybody. A few months ago I was driving down the highway in the Detroit MI area and suddenly this weird thing became visible in the sky. I filmed it and posted in on YouTube today. If you know what this is please tell me. Thanks... Filmed 1/13/2019 By Tyler Selph

Recently I posted this how to video on YouTube for original songwriters like us to try to show how I'm attempting to get more subscribers on Spotify and YouTube. I've just started this new video posting campaign so don't know how it will work but hopefully you'll get something out of this. As of this date I have only 74 monthly followers on Spotify so I'm going to know within a few months if it's working or not. Sorry the video is a bit long but you could find it helpful if you wanna make a little or maybe even a lot of $ off your original tunes. Many of you will already know a lot about this but some may not and I hope you all enjoy it. Cheers..! :-)

Here's a very brief bit of music I've created to introduce my help videos posted on YouTube.You'll hear a short clip and the front end and similar clip at the end. Total length of the video is only 2 mins. Hope you all enjoy it... Back with some full tunes soon..:-)

A good friend of mine really hurt his tow a while back and he fought off the pain for a very long time. That being said, he finally decided to go to the doctors and have something done. When I heard what happened for some reason this popped in my head and it's been so long since I've posted here I thought what the heck... let's post this one. Once you hear the tune I’m sure you’ll figure out what happened. I wish him a speedy recovery and hope he enjoys some humor.

Hope you enjoy it guys and gals..! "Hand Me Down Guitar" By Mark & John Taylor with Tyler Selph. Copyright 2018 all rights reserved. Here's a song put together by father and son team Mark and John Taylor and it was posted by Mark here on Fando about 7 months ago.

As time moved along he got good playing songs and he learned about gain and impedance Living the dream and could play anything I mean the Beatles, the Stones, even Creedence..! So he got very good but he soon understood he would never get a brand new electric Though he begged and he pleaded he finally conceded hand-me-downs would be all he collected What he learned as a kid he passed on yes he did when his son came to be And I’m telling you all yeah the fruit doesn’t fall very far from the tree Cause his son loves to play music too And guitars he has more than a few And he plays every one that he has Yeah even the one handed down from his dad..! When I say his son plays that’s a huge understatement Got better and better down there in the basement No hand-me-down axe for his son oh no way It’s a brand new Les Paul… hear how he plays. Just a hand-me-down guitar Handed down from a father to son It was a hand me down guitar That’s all it took to start all the fun Hand me down guitar Didn’t like it when he got it that day A hand-me-down guitar But just now listen to the two of them play Yeah they’ll blow you away…! Hand Me Down

They see that it’s coming they’re right there in its path They think that its funny they get high and they laugh But the weather man says, you gotta get out of town But they choose instead to keep on partying down They play their guitars while others all dance They know there’s a risk but they’re taking the chance It’s a Hurricane party and they’re there with their friends And they’ve got no idea how their story will end... Cause this Hurricane it’s not like those before It’s a wild raging beast and it’s coming ashore And it’s here to destroy everything in its way But they’re planning on dancing the whole night away Yeah they have so much fun none of them realizing Outside all that the water is filling the gutters and rapidly rising Then a brilliant blue flash and they hear a loud boom Then the lights all go out there in every single room Though they're there in the darkness they still feel no fear They light up some candles they’ve got lots of beer And then there’s no wind yeah the storms passed them by But they’ve no idea that they’re right in the eye..! And then just like that the wind hits one-fifty Windows all break out everything gets real iffy A wild howling wind blows their candles all out It’s now gone pitch black and they’ve all got to shout To the attic they yell so they all start to climb But it’s obvious now they’ve all run outta time Cause this Hurricane well it hasn't got a heart And it’s coming to scare and to tear everything apart This Hurricane no not like those before This Hurricane it should not be ignored This Hurricane when this beast comes to town Well that’s sure not the time to be partying down Less you all wanna drown… when this beast comes around But see they rolled the dice and they all took a chance Played their guitars while others all danced Poured lots of shots and they all did a toast As that Hurricanes eye got so close to the coast Now believe it or not they all somehow survived It's a miracle really that they’re still alive... 1st video from YouTube posted by Fox News titled "Hurricane Michael update tropical weather forecast" 2nd video from YouTube posted by Tornado Trackers titled "Extreme 4K Video of Hurricane Michael" 3rd video from YouTube titled "The Living Band" posted by Sinisa Jelovcic. 4th video from YouTube titled "inside a house that is hit by a tornado", posted by WeatherDisastersTV All images from Google images "labeled for re-use".

"I Quit Smoking" by Tyler Selph, copyright 2018 all rights reserved.So many folks have tried and tried to quit smoking so I decided to write this little song to help them do it. My hope is that those who learn it will sing it when they want a smoke and maybe just repeating the fact they've quit over and over again will help them actually quit for good.

Lyrics below: "I Quit Smoking" I started smoking started smoking started smoking age eighteen I built up to a pack a day but they were cheap or so it seemed I kept on smoking kept on smoking kept on smoking but I stayed fit Cause I was young and dumb and thought one day that I would finally quit I’ve told myself and told myself and scold myself I am not a kid So I should find I’ve got to find no I must find some way to quit I’ve thought it over and thought it over thought it over hard and long And then and then and then decided there and then to write this song That made me say that I’ve quit smoking then repeat that many times So here's my I quit smoking I quit smoking I quit smoking rhyme I quit smoking I’ve quit smoking I’ve quit smoking and I’ve prevailed I quit smoking I’ve quit smoking quit for good and I won’t fail I quit smoking I quit smoking I quit smoking yes indeed I quit smoking I quit smoking I quit smoking guaranteed I quit smoking coughing choking hacking gasping for my last breath Every day I’m growing stronger no longer fear an early death I quit smoking I quit smoking I quit smoking now I’m having fun I quit smoking I quit smoking I quit smoking now I’m finally done I quit smoking I quit smoking there’s no other way to have it I quit smoking I’m not joking finally kicked this nasty habit I quit smoking I quit smoking I quit smoking I can breathe again I think it’s time this I quit smoking I quit smoking song should end And if the urge to ever smoke again should ever ever ever come along You bet my friend that I’ll begin to sing this I quit smoking song I quit smoking I quit smoking I quit smoking there’s no debate Cause I quit smoking I quit smoking I quit smoking and I’m feeling great I quit smoking I quit smoking now I’m saving tons of cash I quit smoking I quit smoking and Phillip Morris you can kiss my ash..! :-)

Thanks to all of you who have already given this posting a listen and comment but I had to re-post it as I was not pleased with the audio levels and some imagery. I realize there were many who suffered great losses during Hurricane Michael and I am dedicating this poem to those who lost there lives and others who made it through. I believe this poem has an important message and hope all will benefit from it. "A Hurricane Party" by Tyler Selph. Lyrics and credits below.

And this Hurricane well it hasn’t a heart It’s coming to scare and to tear things apart Obliterate everything there in its path Including all those who once chose to laugh This Hurricane no not like those before This Hurricane it should not be ignored This Hurricane when this beast comes to town Well that’s sure not the time to be partying down Less you all wanna drown… And then just like that the wind hits one-fifty Windows all break everything gets real iffy A wild howling wind blows their candles all out, It’s now gone pitch black and they’ve all got to shout To the attic they yell so they all start to climb But it’s obvious now they’ve all run outta time...

Many of you may have heard this instrumental by HG Schmitz about 2 weeks ago. When I heard it I felt like I could have some real fun trying something lyrically here and so I wrote HG and asked if I could try something. I was very pleased when he said go for it so I did. The melody, instrumentation and video creation is all by HG. I created the lyrics and vocals. Lyrics below: Dead On Time Wakes up to a coffee and a shower Quick shave the weathers looking fine Looking for some breakfast to devour… Gotta snort a little line He grabs his list train can’t be missed so he runs out the door Just like a dream he’s had a thousand times before He buys a ticket boards the train but his brain is really wired He feels the strain the pain and he’s growing oh so tired He feels the heart beat wildly there inside his chest Not sure if he can handle much more of all the stress Everything is all a mess Have a look at how he’s dressed Dressed for success… but his mind is all a mess He feels he’s lost it all and headed for a fall Things weren’t supposed to turn out like this no not at all Dealt with so much he’s now lost touch with reality His clocks not ticking right and yet nobody else can see Sitting there in that chair and staring at the wall Knows that soon yeah shortly afternoon his wife will call She’s coming by to pick up money needed for the bills But he’s got none to give his honey so he takes some pills He can’t pay those bills… and he’s feeling oh so ill… Tic-tock tick-tock tick-tock the clock keeps ticking Tick-tock tick-tock tick-tock but his minds gone missing Tick-tock tick-tock tick-tock they’re all, they’re all celebrating Tick-tock tick-tock tick-tock and his wife she’s down there and waiting Tick-tock tick-tock on the edge and looking down Tick-tock tick-tock and now he’s time’s ticking down Tick-tock tick-tock tick-tock he’s made up his mind Tick-tock tick-tock when he hits the ground he’ll be dead on time!

Here's another tune written and performed acoustically by my good friend Clive Davies who posted it on his channel a few days ago. Once I heard it I asked him if he'd allow me to add some lyrics and vocals and happily he said go for it. Here's the final product and we both hope you enjoy it. Lyrics below: Ah… the weekends finally coming ‘round Heard there’s a concert going on downtown Suns shining bright and its perfect weather For everyone to all come together Girls on shoulders looking oh so cute While I’m a putting on my wobbly boots That’s right tonight I’m headed downtown that’s what I’ll do Maybe share a bowl… have a lotta brews Soon all my troubles just disappear After drinking lots & lots of ice cold beer That’s right my friends I’m really gonna have a hoot While I’ll be sporting my wobbly boots I’m so tired of working every single day Jack gets really bored when he don’t have time to play So I’m headed down to the local pub Gonna smoke some weed and enjoy the grub Good chance I’ll fall fore the night is through But I’ll blame it all on my wobbly boots…

Cheers to all..! Happy Birthday we’re so glad that you’re still here Yeah we’re happy you’ve survived another year And we’re amazed that you can look as good as you still do After all the hell on earth we know that life has put you through We realize you’ve grown in sizes in places here and there It’s true for sure we’re all surprised on just how well you’ve fared The thinning hair, expanding waist are just what we expected So don’t be sad it’s not so bad you’ll still get our respect so… Happy Birthday… yeah another year has passed Happy Birthday… yeah and we hope you’ve had a blast Happy Birthday… come along let’s sing and dance Happy Birthday… hoping you won’t poop your pants..? Just look at the birthday cake all covered up with candles Found that there’s too many there for this dang cake to handle And if we light ‘em all my friend we’d surely be concerned By the time the candles all were lit your birthday cake would burn so! Happy Birthday yeah you know we’re all your friends Who hope your bladder won’t give out but if it does Depends Will keep your secret safe and sound and nobody will know You've peed your pants in public but thank God it doesn’t show Growing old can have its share of problems there’s no doubt But Viagra comes in handy when you’re feeling petered out And though you may forget a lot forget not we’re your friends And a year from now we hope to sing this birthday song again so… Happy Birthday… yeah another year has passed Happy Birthday… and we hope you’ve have a blast Happy Birthday… come on let’s sing and dance Happy Birthday… hoping you don’t poop your pants..!

My old friend and former member of my band named Joe had a birthday today and here's what I wrote for him. I'm hoping to put it to music soon... hope you enjoy it... Happy Birthday Poem by Tyler Selph Happy Birthday friend we’re all sure glad that you’re still here Smiling cause we’re happy you’ve survived another year And we’re amazed that you can look as good as you still do After all the hell on earth we know that life has put you through We realize you’ve grown in size in places here and there It’s true for sure we’re all surprised on just how well you’ve fared The thinning hair and sagging parts are just what we’d expect But don’t be sad it’s not so bad you’ll still get our respect Respect your elders yes indeed that’s what we’re here to do As we sing happy birthday we will sing it loud to you We sing it proudly no concern that some of us can’t sing Without your hearing aids we know that you can’t hear a thing Happy Birthday… yes another year is passed Happy birthday… and we hope you’ll have a blast Happy birthday… come on let’s sing and dance Happy birthday… here’s hoping you don’t poop your pants Just look there at your birthday cake all covered up with candles We found that there’s too many there for this dang cake to handle And if we light them all my friend we’d surely be concerned That by the time they all were lit your caked would be all burned So happy birthday anyway you know we’re all your friends Who hope your bladder won’t give out but if it does Depends Will keep your secret safe and sound and nobody will know You peed your pants in public but thank god it doesn’t show Yes growing old can have its share of problems there’s no doubt But Viagra comes in handy when you’re feeling petered out And though you may forget a lot forget not we’re your friends And a year from now we hope to sing this Birthday song again Happy Birthday… yes another year is passed Happy birthday… and we hope you’ll have a blast Happy birthday… come on let’s sing and dance Happy birthday… here’s hoping you don’t poop your pants

Hear many of my other original tunes here: https://www.youtube.com/user/Tyzoid8 Lyrics below: "She Thinks He’s A Porno Addict" His wife of nearly 10 years now Well she don't trust him anyhow She's always saying he’s stuck on porn Been that day since he was born She's so worried she can't compete With all those girls that look so young and sweet And she's convinced beyond all doubt That porno's what he’s all about Says porno’s what he’s all about… no doubt She's told him once and she's told him twice doesn't think that it's very nice He looks at porn when she's not around but to this day she's never ever found One single shred of what she claims but still my friends the fact remains Always searching his browsing history just to see what it is that he might see But she can’t find a single site… Of the porno he’s looked at at night He’ll admit that he did before they married But ever since that day the porn's been buried But none of what I've just told you has changed his wife and her point of view Cause she's never gonna change her mind No matter just how many times He tells her he does not watch porn She's a woman who still feels she scorned Hell hath no fury like his wife Yeah she can sure be hell on life..! And causing so much strife No it's not true and she's got no proof But she thinks he’s a porno addict It's not true and she's got no proof But she calls him a porno addict Addict… porno addict... She calls him a porno addict, she calls him a porno addict So the other night before they went to bed he'd grown so tired of her in his head And when she started in on the porn again he said I've had enough this has got to end Said he's sick and tired of her false claims And the porno that she’s trying to blame For causing them to separate and at that very moment didn’t hesitate No he decided right there and then That all this bull-crap had to end So he logged on the internet and he searched for porn oh yeah you bet And the screen popped up with all this smut There were hundreds of those you know what’s And oh his wife yeah she had a fit grabbed her stuff and she said I quit..! Said she can’t take no… more of it… Oh yeah… she really had a fit Grabbed her stuff and said I quit She said she's leaving him in the morning He thanked her for the early warning And while she went upstairs to bed this thought was running through his head Guess he’s gonna gonna soon be living on his own again and he won't be giving All his love to a wicked-witch who thinks he’s got a porno itch Yeah she thinks he’s a porno addict… yeah she thinks he’s just a porno addict…

"Ground Hog Hunting" Music & lyrics by Tyler Selph Copyright 2018 Recently our neighborhood has become totally infested with groundhogs and there seems to be no way to remove them as they've grown wise to the traps we're setting out. They're destroying our gardens like never before and something has to be done... Here's my solution... :-) "Ground Hog Hunting" I’m going ground hog hunting I’m excited as I climb outta bed I’m going ground hog hunting yeah you bet I’m gonna aim for the head And those have-a-heart traps they aren’t worth a crap The ground hogs they all know If they go inside then they’ll most likely die And this is exactly why they don’t go… I’m ground hog hunting… and I’m going with my gun Going ground hunting & I intend to kill every single one of those things Ground hog hunting… I’m gonna kill everyone I find Going ground hog hunting and I’m going to blow their minds yeah… Yeah those ground hogs its crazy how they’re multiplying Faster than them frikin’ critters is dying You’d think by now I’d have shot ‘em all dead But there seems to be more of them here now instead… So I’m going ground hog hunting… gonna kill em all Going ground hog hunting you can be sure I’ll be having a ball Cause as I’m ground hog killing… that’ll really be thrilling Guaranteed ground hog blood will be spilling… oh what a feeling..! Going ground hog hunting, gonna blow them away I’m going ground hog hunting, no I ain’t here to play Going ground hog hunting I’m a little annoyed I’m going ground hog hunting cause my garden’s destroyed And if a ground hog should get in my sights… Well then out go the lights… :-)

Green Eggs & Spam by Joe CNBS & Tyler Selph copyright 2018 all rights reserved. This song is being recorded to bring out the fact that advertisers on Fandalism should really find another place to post their ads. We're all musicians and can't afford what they're selling even IF we were interested in it... LOL Music composed by Joe CNBS Lyrics and vocals by Tyler Selph Photos by all the jerks posting ads on Fandalism and screwing up our musical paradise..! Lyrics below... What’s up with all you advertisers posting here? Can’t anything be done to make you disappear? This used to be a place for music bright and new But now it’s all infested with the likes of you So here’s to you you spammers screwing up this place Your postings here they really are a total waste Cause everybody knows that we musicians here Spend every dime we’ve got on all our music gear See all the artists here are very fond of spam But it’s the kind we eat for dinner if we have a can But the spam you guys are serving hasn’t any taste I’m sure most would agree you’re stinking up the place We see your ads that truly we just can’t afford Of course this means that all your postings get ignored There really is no better way to waste your time Than to advertise to folks who cannot spare a dime..! See Fandalism used to be a dream come true But it’s turned into a nightmare now because of you Please go away and leave this place for poetry and songs Go crawl back in your holes where you belong I’m almost done but it’s been fun to speak my mind I hope you spammers leave this site please go and find Some other place to go deface with all your ads And when you’re gone the rest of us will sure be glad.. :-)

"Hand Me Down Guitar" By Mark & John Taylor with Tyler Selph. Copyright 2018 all rights reserved. Here's a song put together by father and son team Mark and John Taylor and it was posted here on Fando by Mark about two weeks ago. When I heard it as a pure instrumental I asked if they'd let me add some vocals to it and they said go for it so I did. Melody & rhythm guitar by Mark Taylor Lead guitar, bass guitar, and drum programming by John Taylor Vocals & video production by Tyler Selph Lyrics below "Hand-Me-Down Guitar" When he was just ten his daddy walked in and said boy here you are You’ve been telling me lately you wanted to learn how to play the electric guitar But right now all the bills are so hectic That we can’t afford to buy anything new And I know you really want an electric But I hope that for now my acoustic will do It was a hand-me-down guitar Didn’t look and didn’t sound very good It was a hand-me-down guitar But he played the thing the best that he could It was an ugly old guitar he hated And he wished that he could throw it away No he didn’t like the thing but he played it And he got better and better and better each day as he played That hand-me-down guitar... As time moved along he got good playing songs and he learned about gain and impedance Living the dream and could play anything I mean the Beatles, the Stones, even Creedence..! So he got very good but he soon understood he would never get a brand new electric Though he begged and he pleaded he finally conceded hand-me-downs would be all he collected What he learned as a kid he passed on yes he did when his son came to be And I’m telling you all yeah the fruit doesn’t fall very far from the tree Cause his son loves to play music too And guitars he has more than a few And he plays every one that he has Yeah even the one handed down from his dad..! When I say his son plays that’s a huge understatement Got better and better down there in the basement No hand-me-down axe for his son oh no way It’s a brand new Les Paul… hear how he plays. Just a hand-me-down guitar Handed down from a father to son It was a hand me down guitar That’s all it took to start all the fun Hand me down guitar Didn’t like it when he got it that day A hand-me-down guitar But just now listen to the two of them play Yeah they’ll blow you away…! Hand Me Down

His original clip can be seen on YouTube here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9quOBDXwjr8 Once I heard his posting, I asked him if it would be okay if I added some lyrics and a vocal track and he said go for it so I did.

Party Next Door Sex maniacs they live next door They're always up till 3 or 4 Making sounds I can't ignore… And I try not to listen in But these damn walls are paper thin And I hear everything my friend There’s a party next door… yeah a party next door There’s a party next door…. one you simply can’t ignore… What they're doing can't be mistaken Especially when all the walls are shakin I’m pretty sure that girl's not faking it… They always start off really slow Then the moaning starts to grow These two really do put on a show With that party next door… And lucky me I get to hear it all..! Those two they sure do have a ball… And I hear it all…coming through the walls… awwhhh And even though I’m not invited I must admit I get excited How could I not with all that noise It’s almost like I’ve got no choice With this party next door I lie here awake in bed I wish that I could sleep instead But there’s a party here inside my head Awww... this party next door It's nothing short of misery see Cause my girlfriend just broke up with me I think they’re getting awful loud for four am This party next door... one I can’t ignore...this party next door... I tell ya what those two are doing Pretty sure that they're both screwing With my head and that ain't right To have to hear this every night I don't think I can take much more Of all that partying next door Party next door…

After posting this song yesterday and giving it a few listens I was not happy with the vocal track being as soft as it was so I've raised the level a bit and pulled the organ down some.

Lyrics below... "When We’re On Our Own" Seems we’ve run outta love the same way we ran in And it’s become clear to see we’re no longer best friends And we can go on pretending but we both really know This relationship’s ending and it’s time we both go… on our own I mean why should we stay treat each other this way Can’t you hear what I say… time to go our own way And when we’d get home each night They’ll be no one to fight And there'd be no one to yell… why don’t you go to hell… When we’re own our own… It’s time to come to our senses stop playing these games All the shouting is senseless calling each other names If we keep hurting each other in the end it appears We’ll no longer have each other... and live out our years… on our own After all that we’ve shared you and I Part of me it still pleads give us one more try So I’m praying we both find some way to forgive If we don’t then it’s certain that we’re both gonna live… On our own… girl I’m sure you’d agree This is not the way we ever dreamed things would be And when we’d get home each night, things just wouldn't be right If we weren't there together... God I hope that we're never... On our own… Girl when we'd get home each night Things just wouldn't be right No we'd be all alone never wanna go home And I can already tell... life would truly be hell... on our own... and all alone...

Here's one about a wife that never seems to stop nagging at her husband. Not my wife of course... :-) I posted this earlier today as just a poem but my heart just wouldn't let me leave it that way. The original back-track is by Valentinebeats.com and can be listened to on YouTube here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxXMVYshCyg Lyrics below "The Nagging Song" Well not long ago I thought that I had married Mrs. right Used to hardly wait until I got home to her each night But now it seems that every night I get home from the shop She’s starts in with her nagging and my friends it doesn’t stop She nags at me and asks me why I’m getting home so late Tells me dinner’s getting cold because she had to wait Nags at me because I stopped off at the grocery store She nags and nags and then she nags some more And I just came through the door Tonight when we had plans to meet our friends out on the town She nagged at me so much that soon my head was hanging down And all because she didn’t like the clothes I chose to wear Said all my friends would laugh at me… when we got there But I don’t care… let em all just stare… when we get there Well I climb into the driver’s seat and we’re off to meet our friends Have hardly left the driveway when the nagging soon begins She feels compelled to ask me why I have to drive so slow But when we reach the highway then she nags at me let’s go..! Uhhhh… never satisfied… I’m not done She tells don’t drive behind the guy so close ahead Tells me slow it down before the two of us are dead She nags me all the way there and in fact won’t be ignored I contemplate my fate if I just pushed her out the door She asks me what I’m thinking I tell her nothing dear But if she knew she’d kick my butt she has no fear I sit and wonder what I’d do if she just wasn’t here I’m sure I’d not be missing all this nagging that I hear Nag nag nag… She’s nagging just keeps nagging yeah she’s nagging all the time Enough to make a person lose their hearing and their mind She’s been nagging at me folks morning noon and night I’ve had my fill of nagging I can’t take another bite… it just ain’t right This nagging every night… I’ve lost my appetite But in the end I guess it’s true that if I were to leave I’d never hear her nagging and I’d probably feel relieved But could it be I’d miss her constant nagging all the time It’s such a nagging question… weighing on my mind Nag… nag… nag… nag… nag… nag… nag… nag… nag… Nag… nag… nag… NAG..!

Hello everyone... This is a word of warning to folks who invest in today's stock market. Play it Safe My Friends Did you happen to take notice of the fifth of February? If you didn’t time to listen it was quite extraordinary When the closing bell was rung it was an ugly sight to see The biggest market tumble in the course of history The papers read no need to fret it’s just a small correction They said just a day or two and it’ll head the right direction But Thursday hell the market fell no bottom ever found Selling stubs were piling up to three feet off the ground! So here’s my word of warning see I’ve been here before When you wake up Monday morning better watch your butt for sure If the markets starts to tumble then you best not mess around Call your broker fast before he’s headed outta town Now your broker’s gonna tell ya not to sell that would be nuts But what the hell he’s not to fail not gonna lose his butt The time has come for putting some of what you’ve gained away Put it somewhere safe for when there comes a rainy day I’m suggesting sell cause what the hell you might could lose it all But in the end it will depend on you to make the call You get out now and holy cow you still can get back in Just wait until the waters safe before you start to swim So there’s my final word of warning folks I’ll say no more When you wake up Monday morning hope you’re looking out for sure So now good day I’m on my way it’s time the song should end The only thing that’s left to say is play it safe my friends Copyright 2018 by Tyler Selph all rights reserved.

They Came In Peace, by Tyler Selph, copyright 2018 all rights reserved It was a day like any other when my cell phone woke me up I took my morning piss and then I poured myself a cup Of coffee which I drink each morning as I surf the net But this became a day I’d say... I never will forget My cell phone read no internet connection had been found And then things got weird the sun appeared as if it were going down I wondered why it got dark outside so I went out there to see And when I looked up I saw a giant object there right over me This flying saucer hovering two miles above the ground It looked to me to be about ten football fields around For several minutes it hovered there and had all of us in fear Then suddenly it played a note that all of us could hear But the tone that it emitted it was soft and warm and low And then a beam of light came down and it began to glow Then that note abruptly ended then another note was played Then another beam of light and it was soft and warm like clay on a sunny day Like the movie we’ve all seen called close encounters of third kind All who were near could hear and thought they’d nearly lost their minds Then laser lights the kinds of like we’d never seen my before Came streaking down and then we found there were creatures in the door And to the lights and music they all broke into a song Sang in our own language oh yeah they did they surely sang along We come in peace to try to save the human race We’ll intervene we’ll come between fix up this place We’re here to totally remove all your hatred and corruption We will save this place and the human race from eventual destruction We come in peace… They sang we see the future and for you it’s very grim Time to put away your differences and time to all be friends We come in peace is what they sang yeah that’s what we heard them sing But the song was stopped when they all got shot by our mighty war machine Well the papers read they were all shot dead cause the aliens attacked But everyone who heard observed and know exactly all the facts They came in peace so war would cease and save our human race To intervene know what I mean and to change this crazy place They came in peace… All video excerpts are from Vimeo Excerpt 1 by Max Shishkin titled Cinema Space Tribute Excerpt 2 by Videvo titled Globe Motion Background Excerpt 3 by Nasa titled Satellite Nightime flyby Excerpt 4 by SLDinfo.com titled Testing ICBM Intercept

When We’re On Our Own Seems we’ve run outta love the same way we ran in And it’s become clear to see we’re no longer best friends And we can go on pretending but we both really know This relationship’s ending and it’s time we both go… on our own I mean why should we stay treat each other this way Can’t you hear what I say… time to go our own way And when we’d come home each night There’d be no one to fight There’d be no one to yell… why don’t you go to hell… When we’re own our own… when we’re all alone It’s time to come to our senses and to plot a new course Cause the shouting is senseless gonna cause our divorce If we keep hurting each other in the end it appears We’ll no longer be lovers… and we’ll have lived out our years… On our own After all that we’ve shared you and I Part of me it still pleads give us just one last try So I’m praying we both find some way to forgive If we don’t then it’s certain that we’re destined to live… On our own… girl I’m sure you’d agree This is not how we dreamed you and I’d ever be And when we’d get home each night, there’ll be no one to fight And there’d be no one to yell… why don’t you go to hell… When we’re on our own… oh when we’re all alone… When we’re home all alone… and when we’re on our own…

I'm your M&M that's what I am And you've got me melting in your hand I'm your snickers bar... your Baby Ruth The candy jar... for your sweet tooth So come on times a wasting... it's time to get to tasting... time to satisfy the crave and behave just like Two kids in a candy store who can't get enough... Always wanting more So many flavors to explore... We're like... two kids in a candy store There's nothing like you and me together We're sorta like a fantasy... the flavor lasts forever.... Two kids in a candy store who cant get enough... always wanting more So many flavors to explore we're like two kids in a candy store Ooohooo we're two kids in a candy store Ooohooo we're two kids in a candy store Ooohooo we're two kids in a candy store All video clips from Vimeo 1st clip by Buck titled- "Tinder-Invention of Together" 2nd clip by Cactus VP titled- "Joyful couple having fun and dancing together" 3rd clip by House Special titled "M&M's Candyman :60" 4th clip by Fixed Digital titled- "Demo for Snickers" 5th clip by Alexandre Dubosc titled- "Melting Pop" 6th clip by MUNICHfoodstyling titled- "The Candy Man" All still images from Google images, "Labeled for reuse" Copyright by Tyler Selph 2017 All rights reserved

"Forest Life" by Tyler Selph, copyright 2018 by Tyler Selph, all rights reserved. Here's an instrumental if you will that will hopefully give you a break from the daily routine of life. The video footage is from Vimeo and was posted by Pro Art Inc and is titled Hoh Rain Forest.

Hey everybody..! Well, I know it's not music but here's something that once happened to me I think you may find interesting. It was filmed back in 1999 at Universal Studios in Orlando Florida where I was living at the time. You'll see my sister Laura with dark hair come join me at the end and the blonde was a girl named Sandra who I met at the audition for the show. Watch her scare the heck out of Pat at the end..! At one point you'll hear me answer Pat's question about alligators and say something like "believe it or not as a musician I used to hang my hand out over the water and try to entice gators to jump up and try to snap it out of my hands". The truth is, I had been working at a tourist attraction called Gatorland Zoo I was performing as the lead showman for what was called the Gator-jump-a-roo show believe it or not. This was what I was doing just before I started selling cars. Anyway, I wanted to make that clear and laugh now when I here how I responded to Pat's question and how he responded after that... LOL It was a fun time never to be forgotten for sure..! This was originally recorded on VHS which I've had for over 15 years now and just converted to a digital copy and this will explain the fuzziness of the picture. Sorry about that. Of course I take no copyright claim on this what-so-ever.

Here's another collaboration by JC Binetti and I that I hope you'll enjoy. I was very happy JC allowed me to add my lyrics and vocals to his cool dance track. JC has a real talent for creating cool tunes and you can hear more of his songs here. http://www.fandalism.com/jcbinetti Lastly... JC created the video as well and I'm hoping you'll enjoy the whole package everybody..! Cheers and now it's time to let the music take control..! :-) Lyrics below Let the music take control "You gotta let the music take control" So you say you’re feeling lonely and you don’t know what to do I’m telling you you’re not the one who’s feeling blue But I think I know the answer pretty sure I know what’s wrong We need to be out on the dance floor yeah that’s where we both belong Cause when you’re bumping and a grinding and you’re moving to the sound You forget about your problems when you’re truly getting down And when you’re shaking and a grooving with your hands up in the air Forget about your worries and you haven’t any cares… You gotta let the music take control… its gotta reach down to your very soul… ahhh Just let the music take control Yeah… we need to hear that kickin bass gotta turn it up real loud We need to get out on the dance floor some way somehow We need to get out on the town need to find our favorite club Cause when we get out on the dance floor we just can’t get enough When you’re shaking to the music don’t it make you wanna move There’s no way you can deny that it’ll put you in the mood It’ll get your foot to tapping won’t be long for you realize You won’t know what’s happening you’ll be reaching for the sky… ah you can’t deny Come on let’s give it a try… You just can’t deny… come on let’s give it a try So when the club is really kicking I’m sure you’d agree That out there on the dance-floor is the only place to be Some sit and others stand there and watch as others dance But if the beats a kickin I sure won’t me miss my chance If you let the music take you it’ll carry you away To a place you can escape from the day to day It will overcome your problems for a while they’ll disappear If you simply let the music take you away from here Yeah baby… yeah babe… come on shake that thing… Mmmm come on and let the music take control, come on and shake that thing..! So take my hand and let’s get out on the town I’m sure you’ll understand it’s time for getting down What’s the use in sitting home with nothing much to do Time to hit the dance-floor baby that’s what we need to do There’s nothing like the feeling when you’re out on the floor It’s a very special feeling that you simply can’t ignore When you’re shucking with your partner or jiving by yourself There’s nothing quite like music to help us lose ourselves Gotta let the music take control..!

"Santa Clause Ain’t Comin To Town" Well he’s made out his list and checked it now twice He’s figured out you and me haven’t been nice And Santa Claus ain’t coming to town He’s seen how we act when the kids leave the house The switch in your hand and he’s heard me go ouch! And Santa Clause ain’t comin to town Through our window he’s been peeking And we’ve really freaked him out He’s watched till I’ve been weeping From the pain you’re dishing out! He’s heard me go ouch you’re making me cry He knows you won’t stop till I’m satisfied No Santa Clause ain’t comin to town Ol Santa’s been shocked as we watched me and you He’s seen all the pain you’ve been putting me through And Santa Claus ain’t comin… to town He’s seen those fish-net stockings And leather strap there in your hand He thinks you’re really hurting me but he just don’t understand? With a flick of your wrist ouch That really stings Santa don’t know what a thrill that it brings No Santa Claus ain’t coming to town No Santa Claus ain’t comin to town I said Santa Claus ain’t comin to town..! He ain't comin round... :-)

To start with I want to wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving..! This song was written by Harald-Georg-Barth. I heard it and wrote to him asking if I could add some lyrics and vocals and he said go for it so I did. Here's how it came out. Copyright 2017 all rights reserved. Lyrics below... What If Everybody Had A Gun Guitar… What if everyone had a gun would that change anything? Would we find the world more dangerous for all us human beings? What if everybody walked around with a pistol in their boot? You treat somebody bad enough and they may just pull it out and shoot I’m asking how would life become… if everyone had a gun..? Bank robberies I’m guessing none if the customers inside Were all carrying a loaded gun that was strapped there on their side If everybody had a gun tell me what would they have to fear A peace we never knew before might suddenly appear I know you may think this sounds dumb but what if everyone had a gun? If everybody had a gun then everybody’s equal It would make the perfect movie deserved of a sequel If the gangstas in the neighborhood knew guns were everywhere Would they think before they drew a gun or would they ever even dare There would be no place that’s safe to run… if everybody had a gun If we were carrying a piece would that bring us peace of mind Would that make this space a better place where people’d more kind If everybody had a gun, would the hatred finally end If everybody had a gun would we all turn into friends? I betcha things would really change… if we could all go bang bang bang… Now some would say I’ve crazy some would say I’ve lost my mind But if everyone all had a gun who knows what we might find We might find we’d think things over before we all got really pissed Cause anyone who had a gun could just shoot us if they wished We might all be a little more forgiving less taking and more giving Is there a chance that we may find everybody’d be more kind If everybody had a gun It’s sad I have to devise a plan or suggest this as a cure But a gun in everybody’s hand would change our lives for sure Would everyone a friend become… if everybody had a gun Would the killings somehow all be done… if everybody had a gun… Would we all treat everyone nice? If everybody had a gun In case you didn’t know this, in the following list are places where it is against the law NOT to have a gun Kennesaw Georgia, Nelson Georgia, Nucla Colorado, Gun Barrel City Texas, Virgin Utah Art by Bernardumaine at Deviantart.com

For those of you who know me I have never done a cover tune on Fandalism. Here's a parody on Devo's hit song "Whip It", about my dog Cash and his infatuation with attacking his favorite play toy.

I trusted You - from JC BINETTI and TYLER SELPH Here is a song Binetti wrote and posted on Fando as an instrumental 3 months ago. You can hear his original posting here. http://fandalism.com/jcbinetti/emDl When I heard it I contacted JC and asked if I could add some lyrics and vocal. Happily he agreed to let me have a shot at it and I took one. After sending him the vocals I had added I was very surprised to see his video and even though we did this over two months ago I told him we had to save it for the Halloween season. So here it is and just a note of warning... It's a little scary..! I TRUSTED YOU I Trusted You I trusted you and I don’t know why I ever did I trusted you… and all you did was make me cry I thought you’d never lie… but I… I was wrong… so wrong Now looking back… I should have seen But I was young and I was… green… know what I mean? You let someone… come in between you and I… And I don’t know why? But now all I do is cry… I’m crying tears… after all these years I trusted you… I trusted you I never guessed and never knew Oh yes it’s true… I didn’t have a clue That you were lying in another bed I couldn’t get that through my head Don’t try to tell me that you still care Cause when I need you… you won’t be there You’re leaving me for that other guy And you know me… you don’t really care how much I cry… I trusted you… and never should have I trusted you and you never could have… truly loved me You wouldn’t leave me… and when you left me You said you did you wouldn’t leave me… But I was dumb enough… to trust in you… I trusted you… I trusted

Now the lyrics "Tommy's Gone" First they said he was dead then said they were wrong But the Waiting Is Over we all now know he’s gone So I’m singing this song and saying goodbye To a person Freefalling now Learning To Fly away today… She Was An American Girl yeah he told us all so His Guitar Gently Wept while he put on a show Mary Jane a romance of which he wrote a song And they shared one last dance before she moved on… Ah yeah… before she was gone... And he said I Won’t Back Down to those damn record labels And he charted his own course because he was able And he didn’t Breakdown was a tough Refugee You Got Lucky... if you knew him indeed… so lucky were we… It was true what he said back in seventy nine Even The Losers get lucky sometimes But I guess like Tom said now it’s Time To Move On You Don’t Know How It Feels... seems unreal that he’s gone away... today But Tommy’s Gone… yeah he’s moving on I envision him now... Running Down A Dream And I’m grateful God for giving us this cool human being But I Should Have Known he’d be leaving this place And I pray that the Lord will show his Saving Grace... And as I move forward I’ll hear his songs play And they’ll always bring memories of sweet younger days On the radio waves now his spirit lives on And we’ll never forget the way Tommy played a song But Tommy’s gone… Long gone… RIP Tommy

Down By The River Side by Tyler Selph & Jean Chris Binetti. About a month ago Jean-Chris asked if I would be interested in singing one of his songs. He sent me the music and lyrics and I really liked it. I asked JC if he would be okay if I changed some of the lyrics and thankfully he said yes. I loved his hook so I left that in which is the title of the song and I kept that theme but just built a story around the Riverside theme. I know JC posted this one already but I wanted to wait a week or so to try to give others a chance to hear it if they happened to have missed it before. Thanks for all your comments on JC's posting and I hope you will enjoy this one if you have not heard it yet. Now the lyrics... Down by the riverside Down by the riverside… cold beer in my hand The perfect place to run and hide…yeah I’m a broken man I think back to that rainy day when I first met you here You chased all the clouds away… and made the sun appear Down by the riverside that day… you chased those clouds away Down by the riverside with you… it was like a dream come true When I fell in love with you… that day… you stole my heart away Down… by the riverside Down by the riverside… my beer is now half through I take a sip and wonder why… why I ever fell in love with you You told me from the very start your heart could not be won But I was falling so in love and having so much fun Down by the riverside you came… and you made my whole life change Down by the riverside that day… you stole my heart away It’s true… I fell in love with you…that day Down by the riverside my beer is nearly gone Just like the river flowing by… guess it’s time you move along I wish that I could find some way you would stay here with me But if you do come back one day… then this is where I’ll be Down by the riverside me and you… it was like a dream come true Down by the riverside you and me it was the perfect place to be Down by the riverside that day… I’d say you stole my heart away Down by the riverside…

"You Gotta Have A Dream" by Tyler Selph copyright 2017 all rights reserved Lyrics below I posted this in an acoustic version a just over a year ago and the comments and listen count convinced me to do it in a studio format. This song is about domestic violence, spousal abuse, wife-beaters, abused women, or plane and simply........ men who hit women. Hopefully this song will inspire women who may find themselves in this kind of relationship. My advice... get out now... before it's too late..!

Your Secret by Tyler Selph copyright 2017 all rights reserved A new song of suggestion to those who may be keeping secrets they need to let out... Hope you enjoy it... Lyrics below 'Your Secret" So you’ve got a big secret that you’re hiding inside So many feelings afraid to confide A secret so secret that you’ve not told a soul But this secret you’re keeping well it starts to get old It’s growing so old So many fears all those tears that you’ve hidden Doing those things you wish you never did and Afraid to display or to say how you feel So your keeping your secret it won’t be revealed But a secret as secret as yours seems to be Can wear on your heart and appear on your sleeve It can screw up your karma can drive you insane A secret like this one can mess with your brain It can drive you insane So I’ve a suggestion I hope you will try Cause it’s not very fun when you’re living a lie Set it free and you’ll see how much better you’ll feel Time to give up your secret it’s time to get real Show how you truly feel Come out of that shell that you’re hiding inside Be true to yourself and have nothing to hide Telling the truth is the best thing to do Just look what this secret is doing to you But these secrets your keeping there keeping inside They’re too much too bare and they’re too hard to hide And the longer you try to deny what is true The longer the secret keeps eating at you Yeah these secrets your keeping there inside your heart Will slowly destroy you and tear you apart No you must let it out and be true to yourself Cause its hurting you more… than anyone else… So I’ve a suggestion I hope you will try Cause life can be hell when you’re living a lie Set it free and you’ll see how much better you’ll feel Time to break out your secret… it’s time to get real Let the secret be revealed and you’ll see how you’ll feel How it feels to get real…

Soon available as are all my tunes on Spotify Groove music, Google play Amazon and more... “They Called Me Pendejo” I’d been planning a trip so I boarded a ship for a cruise down to lovely Cancun I’d heard of this beach where the women were sweet and was hoping to get there real soon When I arrived on the shore there was much to explore pretty soon found my way to the bar Didn’t speak any Spanish but still I could manage with women not getting too far As I drank at the bar… at the bar… After having a few too many a brews and many a shot of hot rum I kinda got loud at everyone in the crowd started thinking they all must be dumb I had told them my name and I know this sounds strange But not one of these guys seemed to know And I still don’t know why they forgot my name’s Ty And they called me instead… Pendejo Yeah they called me Pendejo Yeah they called me Pendejo… that’s the name I would hear. Say Pendejo… how long are you here Hey Pendejo… how are you in Cancun They said Pendejo… hope you’re leaving soon Now I’ve tried and I tried but I still don’t know why all the guys were all acting so ticked They were waving their hands at me while I was dancing with all the fine Mexican chicks. So I asked this young lady and she told me maybe so both of us walked out the door. We went to her place and we had quite a night in the morning woke up on the floor And I’ll never forget that wild night in Cancun the memories will remain Of a bar on the beach where it seemed out of reach for the folks to remember my name And they called me Pendejo… that’s the name I would hear. Yeah they’d call me Pendejo… they’d say how long are you here And they’d call me Pendejo… why are you in Cancun And they’d all say Pendejo… hope you’re leaving soon… Pendejo Yeah they’d call me Pendejo… why that is isn’t clear But they’d call me Pendojo… every time I’d appear And they’d say hey Pendejo why are you in Cancun Say hey Pendejo are you leaving soon On my trip to Cancun

I heard Tom Petty had passed away and was very surprised and saddened. He had just finished up a very successful tour and even sold out his last three shows in the Hollywood bowl in last month.So sad to hear the news and then hear it wasn't true? A crazy way to go but I'm sure Tommy enjoyed the attention... or at least I hope so... Anyway... I felt like writing him a poem which I posted here yesterday. This morning I put my poem to music and hope you like what I came up with. I have used the titles of 16 of Tom's songs throughout the lyrics and I hope you enjoy it... "Tommy's Gone" well The Waiting is over… heard the news and I cried.Cause I now know it’s true such a cool guy has died.So I’m singing this song and I’m saying goodbye.To a person Freefalling now Learning To Fly away… She Was An American Girl yeah he told us all so.His Guitar Gently Wept while he put on a show.Mary Jane a romance of which he wrote a song.And they shared one last dance before she moved on… Ah yeah… before she was gone...He said I Won’t Back Down to those damn record labels.And he charted his own course because he was able.And he didn’t Breakdown was a tough Refugee.You Got Lucky... if you knew him indeed. It was true what he said back in seventy nine.Even The Losers get lucky, get lucky sometimes.But I guess like Tom said now it’s Time To Move On.You Don’t Know How It Feels seems unreal that he’s gone away today.But Tommy’s Gone… he’s moving on. I envision him now Running Down A dream.And I’m grateful God for giving us this cool human being.But I Should Have Known he’d be leaving this place.And I pray that the Lord will show his Saving Grace... And as I move forward I’ll hear his songs play.And they’ll always bring memories of sweet younger days.On the radio waves now his spirit lives on.And we’ll never forget the way he played a song.But Tommy’s gone… Long gone… RIP Tommy

Fairy Tale Ending Music by Signum Temporus, Vocals and lyrics by Tyler Selph.Here's a tune which was originally created by Signum Temporus and I asked him if I could add some lyrics and vocals to it. I was very happy when he said go ahead and do something so here's what we've created together and I hope you enjoy it. I do not know who the female vocalist is at the very end but I'm hoping Sig will be kind enough to let me know. I'll update the description once I've been informed who she is. Enjoy..! Here is the original track on Signum's site. Hear the original track here. https://youtu.be/qohEfEjXITMI Now the lyrics "Fairy Tale Ending" I hope for a fairy tale ending… And I wait for a make-believe end…I wanna ride off on a white horse… off to a world of pretend…Pretending that you are my princess… pretending that I am just a toad You hear me and find me defenseless kiss me and watch me explode Explode into your shining prince on a white horse to take you away But it’s all just a dream I’ve been dreaming… reality so far away…My friends they all say I’ve gone crazy say I’m way out of my league Yet I find you truly amazing… full of suspense and intrigue My horsie right now is a Kia… not a horse that was made to impress And I’m certain that I’ll never see ya… in my passenger’s seat in a dress… But I hope for a fairy tale ending… I wait for a make-believe end… I wanna ride off on a white horse… off to a world of pretend… Pretending that you are my princess pretending that I’m just a toad You hear me and find me defenseless kiss me and watch me explode Into your shining prince… white horsey to take you away But it’s all just a dream I’ve been dreaming… reality so far away…

"Man On The Corner" copyright 2017 by Tyler Selph Also available on Spotify, ITunes and more.Hey everybody..! Well I have many new collabs going on right now and they're going to be posted soon but for now, here's an older live performance I found on VHS and I apologize for the poor video quality but I felt the performance was worth posting and I hope you enjoy it... Lead vocal- me Lead guitar- Bo Barbot Bass guitar- Andy Shaw Drums- Bobbi Gruhler Lyrics below I saw an old man standing on the corner In ragged pants and a tattered vest I wished for this guy it was a little warmer But a cold front was coming from the West He holds a sign in his weary hands That tells me that he'll work for food He hopes that you'll toss some change into his can but most folks just aren't in the mood... Is this guy a victim of society? Or was this guy just born to lose? And though I don't believe this could ever happen to me... I'd sure hate to be stuck in his shoes. Where if you're one of the fortunate ones...You'll get in the YMCA But if they don't have enough room there for you then where the hell else will you stay..? Well a box ain't too bad in the Summertime It's easy to handle the heat But it gets real damn cold in the Wintertime When if falls below 30 degrees And if you don't mind standing in a long line You might get some soup they hand out You can smell that food but you still can't conclude you'll get there before it runs out..! No you can't guarantee a thing when you're out in the street..! Could we be related to this old man You might think your chances are slim But you best put away every penny you can and pray you don't wind up like him Said you best put away every penny you can and pray you don't wind up like him. Yeah you best put away every penny that you can...

I Lit A Candle For You by Tyler Selph. Copyright 2017 all rights reserved.Here's one I wrote a few years ago and recorded a few months ago but just had re-recorded by my friend Jamie Laritz of Dogear Studios with studios in both Ft Myers FL and Nashville TN. He is an incredible musician and recording technician. He plays all of the instruments on this song and did all the editing & mixing. All I had to do was sing the vocals when he was done with all the tracks and how easy is that? This song is also available on iTunes and Spotify. Now the lyrics... "I Lit A Candle For You" When I invited you for dinner I was hoping you’d say yes. And when you asked what I was serving I told you, you would have to guess You smiled when I suggested that we dine in candle light…And in the end you said alright… And I had dreamed of this night…So I lit a candle for you baby… And I... I was hoping maybeThat you would make my dream come true And I might... share just one night with youSo I lit a candle as I waited for you… I lit a candleI placed the candle on the table as I polished up the place Stood thinking of the way the candle-light would shine upon your face And I hoped that you would like my place and hoped you'd be impressed As I looked into the mirror hoped you like the way I'm dressed? But suddenly I noticed that the night was getting late I wondered where you were you said that you'd be here by eight I thought by now that you’d have had a lobster on your plate.Instead I'm only wondering and I guess you're running late.But I lit a candle for you baby cause you told me, told me you'd be there And I set the candle there on the table with fine wine for us to share And now I watch the candle melting see the wax all dripping down And I feel like such a loser and I feel like such a clown… Cause I lit a candle for you baby… but soon… soon it will go out... I guess the date you made with me… You simply… forgot about And as the candle keeps on melting it becomes a work of art And I'll never let you know how much you truly broke my heart...

Cheryl Marie, melody and lyrics by Tyler Selph, copyright 2017 all rights reserved. This song is about how my wife and I met many years ago but it wasn't until many years later we met again and got married. This song was posted about a year ago but I have had my friend Jamie re-work the instruments and I've added the vocals. Hope you enjoy it. Cheryl Marie Was it all just by chance we met that night in that bar And the two of us danced then we took a ride in my car You were only 19 and looked so good in those jeans And it seemed like a dream That you were with me And it was so nice to be With sweet Cheryl Marie Way back in 83 We drove to a party but nobody showed So we jumped in my sports car and we hit the road Then we parked on a hillside you let my fingers explore And we both wanted more We drove back to my place and made our way to my room But somehow we passed out… from all the drinks we’d consumed But neither one worried no neither one of us cared Cause we weren’t in a hurry no we weren’t going nowhere In the morning I woke up and you still there by my side Seemed you wanted make love you had that look in our eyes But before you would let me would let me proceed. You said, don’t ever forget me… My name is Cheryl Marie Don’t you dare forget me That’s what she said to me Back in 83 We drove through the night She was holding on tight She said faster and faster It was love we were after She was so full of laughter Sweet Cheryl Marie As sweet as could be Young and wild and carefree Sweet Cheryl Marie…

In A Perfect World, copyright 2017, all rights reserved. This is a song I recorded about a year ago but just had re-done by my friend Jamie Laritz. Also available on iTunes, Spotify and other online sites. Hope you enjoy it. Lyrics below. In a perfect world You would win every game And in a perfect world there is no one to blame In a perfect world there’d be no right or wrong In a perfect world everyone..... just gets along In a perfect world But a true perfect world that’s impossible see And the truth is that’s something that never could be There’s a reason why people always disagree Cause what’s perfect for you isn’t..... perfect for me Are you starting to see? If the pitcher strikes out every batter he meets They all call that a perfect game but was it really you see Although he seemed perfect when he won that game Was the pitcher so perfect or were the batters just lame? That were playing the game... Let’s say that somebody has big party plans And their praying the rain will not mess up their plans But the farmers depend on their seeds all to sprout And they’re praying for rain cause there’s been a long drought... Have you figured this out? Oh this world isn’t perfect oh no no it’s not Take a good look around and you’ll see what we’ve got It’s a world full of war where the innocent fear It’s a world far from perfect that’s perfectly clear Let’s say that a soldier who fights for his life Has to shoot someone else or to stab with a knife To him it seems perfect he somehow survived But was it really so perfect when the other guy died? At the edge of a knife And his mother she cried… Long into the night… In a perfect world there’d be no fighting at all In a perfect world not one more soldier would fall In a perfect world people there’d be no war And a perfect world’s what we should all be... fighting for In a perfect world… in a perfect world… in a perfect world… in a perfect world...

I didn’t have a clue what you were gonna do what you would put me through but knew I wanted you You took me to your place yeah I was blown away there are no word to say the way you made me feel Your body soft and smooth you showed me all your moves I really dug your groove it all just seemed unreal I never guessed that I would be your type of guy and still I don’t know why why you gave me a try But I’m sure glad you did I’m glad I visited I’m glad I stayed the night cause you were out of sight But in my head I knew that you would leave just like you’re known to do So in the morning I jumped up and made some coffee and poured a cup I found a pad and pen and wrote I wrote to you a little note I left the note there by your bed and you can guess just what it said Goodbye… so long… farewell… and we’ll see ya later Goodbye… so long… farewell… see ya later alligator Goodbye… so long… farewell… it was great to know ya Goodbye, so long farewell… but I’ve got to go away… Cause I know that if I stay That you’ll break my heart in two And I know that’s what you will do So I must say goodbye to you So long… farewell… and I’ll see ya later Goodbye… so long… farewell… it was nice to know ya Goodbye… so long… farewell… Goodbye… so long… farewell… Goodbye

Mother Nature by Tyler Selph, copyright 2017, all rights reserved. Every once in a while I get inspired to try to make up something on the spur of the moment and see what happens. I'll turn on my iphone video recorder and just let things fall where they may. I would suggest you give it a try sometime if you never have before. It's a fun thing to do and who knows what may happen..? This one was created in my Brother-in-laws back yard on a beautiful day...! Enjoy..! Titled "Mother Nature"... lyrics below... Today I looked… and this is what I see… A beautiful… environment serene And there I got to watch a Bumble-bee… and it occurred to me… That this was destiny Mother Nature… it’s incredible, it’s impossible… that is not designed It truly seems to me to be divine…. Mother Nature… Woahhhhh… Mother Nature How serene, hear that bird oh hear it sing… It sings a sweet… sweet song… And all the other birds… they sing along... That’s Mother Nature…. Oooooh… That’s Mother Nature… Oowoawohoo.. Mother Nature… Woaoh... Mother Nature… Woaoh…That’s Mother Nature….

Here's a poem I uploaded a few years ago that I put to my friend John Corsaro's killer drum playing. See John's original video posted here.... http://fandalism.com/odddrum/el38 I title my poem "Teenage Thoughts" and it is about the way many kids seem to act and think this day in age. Hope you like it! Copyright 2017 all rights reserved.Teenage thoughtsI'll tell ya bout my mom and dad The two of them they get real mad It seems no matter how I try No way to see them eye to eye They call me just a teenage punk But they're the one's who are the flunks As parents they've completely failed And I'm the one who's getting railed They've treated me with no respect Since I quit school but what the heck Don't really care to graduate When I already have a life that's great My mom and dad they'll care for me And me... well I'll live here for free What more could anybody need Sounds pretty sweet don't you agree? My mom and dad they criticize It's time they opened up their eyes I see beyond all of their lies And yell fuck you while mama cries They say it's time that I move out But that's not happening no doubt I'm staying here till forced to leave And that's just how it is you see They're angry I dropped out of school They say I'm dumb but they're the fools I'm 18 and I make the rules And no one's calling me a fool I'll have my way and I'll live rent free No no-one's getting rid of me Don't give a damn that's plain to see My parents will take care of me I'm sick and tired of being told By people who are growing old What I should do how I should act It's time they all cut me some slack I take it easy cause I can It should be clear to understand. Why should I have to work so hard I make my daddy mow the yard I live right now on easy street Roof over-head free food to eat Take out the garbage? Don't think so Don't even ask my ass to mow I do what I want and I have no fear I steal my mama's last cold beer Call me a failure go ahead But while you're at it make my bed! You guys are wrong I've never failed And if I do wind up in jail I got good news good news to tell You'll be the ones to pay my bail Call me a failure if you like I'll tell you both to take a hike I'm living wild and living free Now go away don't bother me...

Here's a little something my wife created for me using Jibjab software. She meant to send it to me on the 4th of July so I could post it but she forgot so here's a belated 4th of July song to rock your world. I hope you'll all find it amusing...

Here's one me and my friends from around the world put together. I wrote it, my friend Jamie Laritz played all the instruments on it, I sang it and JC Binetti created the video.The song title is If I Don't Have You... I Ain't Got Nothin Also available on iTunes, Spotify and other online sites as are almost all my tunes. Lyrics and melody - Tyler Selph- Williamston, Michigan Drums, Bass, Guitar, Keyboards Jamie Laritz - Nashville, TN Vocals recorded by - Sean Barrett of LaBarrettory Studios - Williamston, Michigan Final mixing - Jamie Laritz of Dog Ear Studios - Nashville, TN If I Don’t Have You, I Ain’t Got Nothin I could be rich and famous…might be a movie star Ride around in big black limo or maybe drive a fancy car I could have every single thing everything this world could give But I know that that if I don’t have you… then I ain’t got nothin..! No I ain't got nothin..! I could earn a diploma and I could get some degree I could make a lotta money and I could buy anything I could make a million dollars or become a billionaire But I know that if I don’t have you… then I ain’t got nothin…! No I ain't got nothin..! I could travel all around the world from sea to shining sea But it wouldn’t be no fun at all if you weren’t here with me I could have a castle made of gold and servants at my feet But I wouldn’t be as happy as I am when you’re with me I could climb the corporate ladder go all the way to the top Be a doctor a lawyer or get rich trading stocks But it’s all superficial and it doesn’t mean a thing Cause I know that if I don’t have you… Then I ain’t got nothin..! No I ain’t got nothin..! Said I ain't got nothin..! No I ain't got nothin..! I ain’t got nothin..! I ain’t got nothin..! I ain’t got nothin..! No I ain’t got nothin..!

Here's one of my tunes put to a short video by a couple of my close friends Richard and Maurice. I had submitted a Christmas song to Ford for their consideration as an ad and this was what my friends sent back to me as if it was from Ford. It was a great prank on me as it was shown on my email as coming from TeamDetroitAdv.com and at first I thought it was the real deal and they were doing a trial run of it. Pay close attention to the credits at the end for a few hidden meanings in the names which I didn't catch until my friends told me... Anyway... I hope you enjoy it...

Forever Together Copyright 2017 by Tyler Selph Hey everyone... This is a song I wrote for one of my best friends weddings back in the 90's. My good friend Andy Shaw on bass. The photo is of the moment me and my wife Cheryl tied the know with a kiss... Hope you all like the tune... Forever Together Both of us knowing that our love is real This is our way of showing the way we truly feel Thinking now of the good times we've shared in the past And we've both come to realize that we want them to last forever... together... I think of the future and living with you Nothing else I could dream of that I'd rather do... and we'll share all our feelings and erase all our fears and our love will grow stronger as we share the years together... Forever.... sharing our lives together.. Forever ever and ever... We accept that the future... may sometimes get rough but we know that we'll make it Cause our love is strong enough. We won't let anything stand in our way... No nothing can come between the love we share today and forever.... together... Together... forever... As we grow older we'll look back and see... You and I with each other it was truly meant to be So we'll be together and we'll help each other through cause we know what we're doing when we each say I do it means Forever... together... sharing our lives together... forever and ever and ever...

I had to re-post this song... I noticed in my first post I had cut off the ending. I wrote the poem and then Danijela Jovic, (SergeJ77 on Fando) was kind enough to offer a piano accompaniment. It is about a very close friend and once listened to, you'll know what happened to him. He will be sorely missed. I want to thank Danijela so much because without him on the piano... this would just be a poem... "One Guys Death" My friend of 10 years shot himself in the chest… three times… believe it or not? With a revolver… as impossible as that seems… But nonetheless we were told by those who discovered his body there were no sign of foul play… just one set of footprints… leading away from the van… which had gotten stuck in a farmer’s field. The footprints led from the van to a single wooden hunting blind… raised on stilts… approximately eight feet off the ground… It appeared that under heavy sedation from a mix of prescription pills he had been taking for back pain… that he made his way to the wooden blind…climbed the ladder and once inside…decided this was the place to end it all. I feel very saddened that although I had made many attempts to contact him over the past few months… I had not spoken to him... When traveling near his home my wife and I had called to see if we could drop by… but no one ever picked up the phone or called us back so we never did… and now… we both wish we had… I deeply regret that we did not go there and did not recognize until too late… what was really going on… I am also deeply troubled by the fact his wife… of 10 years… did not take care of him... and never reported to someone the severity of what was happening… and this in and of itself is a tragedy..! During the last weeks I have had so many questions? Even doubting whether or not it was actually a suicide? So I conducted my own investigation and was very thorough… Even visited the scene… yes I was there and saw the wooden blind where it all happened. I also studied the autopsy pictures of my friend’s face that I could not even recognize. A full face beard... a loss of over 50 pounds in less than two months? He looked as though he had been totally neglected and left to just wither away..! I cringed as I saw the bullet holes in his chest and I cried. It was extremely hard to accept but I realize now… that it must be true and he did in fact take his own life for there is nothing to prove otherwise… This fact I have to come to resolution with and understand, there’s nothing I could have done...perhaps… even if I had spoken to him… well it was his destiny. So I say farewell to you my good friend with whom I fished, and camped and I played and sang with and I want to tell the world… that this guy… will never be forgotten….RIP my friend…

We Cried, a poem written by Tyler Selph Piano by Danijela Jovic. I am honored to have Danijela (Sergej77) work with me on this project. Her melody was the perfect fit if you ask me. Hope you all like it... We Cried I came home late one night stepped through the door. I saw a strange man whom I’d never met before. My wife said it was awkward I would call strange. From that night on… my life it changed. I turned around as she stepped in the room. And I could tell I smelled her sweet perfume. And though she’d shown me its not me she’s really thinking of. She claimed that it was only me… she truly loved. I didn’t buy it… it was all a lie. Could see she’d fallen for that other guy. I stood and listened as she tried to justify. Then I kissed... that girl goodbye… And we cried and we cried… as I kissed her goodbye… You think in life you’ve got things figured out. Then find out what life’s really all about. You want to go somewhere just run and hide. To take your lumps and swallow all your pride. But now it’s over now for me and her. Hard to remember now it’s all a blur. I wish that we were still the way we were. But then again… I really don’t. Today I saw her briefly on the street. She softly spoke to me her voice so sweet. But still I knew that I could not repeat that scene. Know what I mean? And me and her we cried when I kissed her goodbye. I’d grown tired of all her lies.. We both had tears that filled our eyes… As I told that girl goodbye… yes we cried… we cried… and we cried…

I've Gotta Ask My Wife, copyright 2017 Tyler Selph all rights reserved. This song was originally a very cool instrumental created by Sergej77 and he allowed me to add some lyrics to it. Here is a link to Sergej77 original post. http://fandalism.com/sergej77/bqOB Hope you like it..! Lyrics... Had this friend of mine that came to me way back in nineteen-eighty-three Said now’s the time to buy some stock… in Apple, just two bucks a shot He told me I’d get rich one day Two thousand’s all I’d have to pay To own one thousand shares that great I’ll put that apple on my plate. I said to him that sounds real good you know I’d do it if I could But you know friend I’d be truly cursed if I don’t go and ask my wife first... "Happy wife happy life" :-) So I proposed to my sweetie pie… my friend said now’s the time to buy But she said boy there’s just no way that we could now afford to pay Two thousand bucks that’s all we’ve got… and it’s a gamble just a shot A shot in the dark with no guarantees so my wife no and would not agree... She was looking after me... Eventually I wound up broke my wife she left with another bloke The price of Apple stock look there… A hundred forty bucks per share..! A hundred forty bucks oh my just did the math and I wanna cry A hundred forty thousand bucks… My wife said no and I got fucked So where’s my wife you ask of me? Remember that friend in 83? She looked him up and he was rich ran off with him that friggin bitch That’s right she took on his last name in search of fortune in search of fame Just take a look here at my life… cause I had to go and ask my wife..! Ahhhh... but in the end I fared okay even though my wife and my friend ran away I remember back to eighty-three and what my friend had said to me Little secret too that I’ll now let out… see I’d bought 8,000 shares no doubt Seven hundred grand my friends do you like the way this story ends?

Happy Easter Everyone..! From Tyler and his family..! Have fun everyone and remember...today we remember a SONrise like no other..!

I Lit A Candle For You song by Tyler Selph, copyright 2017 All rights reserved. Here's one that I uploaded as just a poem a few years ago and decided to put a melody to it and here's the end result... Hope you like it... When I invited you for dinner you surprised me with a yes. When you asked what I was serving I told you, you would have to guess You smiled when I suggested that we dine in candle light… But in the end.... you said alright… and I had dreamed of this night… So I lit a candle for you baby… and I, I was hoping maybe... That you would make all my dreams come true and I might.... share one night with you... I lit a candle… as I waited for you… I lit a candle... I placed the candle on the table as I polished up the place Stood thinking of the way the light would shine upon your face And I hoped that you would like my place and hoped you'd be impressed As I looked into the mirror hoped you like the way I'm dressed? But suddenly I noticed that the night was getting late Wondered where you were you said that you'd be here by eight? I thought by now that you’d have had a lobster on your plate. Instead I'm only wondering and guess you're running late? But I lit a candle for you baby cause you told me, you told me you'd be there... And I set the candle on the table with champagne for us to share Now I watch the candle melting see the wax all dripping down... And I feel like such a loser and I feel like such a clown… Cause I lit a candle for you baby… but soon… soon it will go out... I guess the date you made with me… you simply… forgot about... And as the candle keeps on melting it becomes a work of art And I'll never let you know how much you tore my world apart...

His Wife Wouldn't Let Him, copyright 2017 by Tyler Selph, lyrics in description. Here's one that was listed as just a poetry piece about 3 years ago but I decided to plop some music on it and here's the end result... Hope you all enjoy it..! His Wife Wouldn't Let Him Gambling late, way into the night The man’s on fire and his wife outta sight Poker's the game and they do poker right With his wife there beside him… he wins every night And everything is alright..! The cards are all dealt and he draws a straight flush Guy cross the table he raises a bluff But he's holding a winner there in his hand But his wife moves her hand and he understands and he folds… And he does as was told… Cause his wife wouldn't let him she made him give in And if he had won well a ton he would win But his wife wouldn't let him she motioned to fold And he loved her so much… that he did as was told. And his wife wouldn’t let him… She… he learned a long time ago… she's always right That's why he… keeps winning with her every night They all call him the gambler but no nobody knows That his wife's in control with the touch of her nose But nobody knows...? She touches the tip that tells him to hold She touches the bridge and it's time to just fold. She touches the left side he knows he can't win She touches the right and… he's going all in! Mmmm and this is how they both win..! Mmmmm… So that Saturday night, full moon up in the sky The wager ran up to a new record high And the crowd gathered round all to see history But his wife stepped away at that moment you see... Well he stalled and he stalled but… she never appeared What the heck should he do? Lose it all so he feared…oooh So he raised the stakes high and he… said I'm all in And at that very moment was when his wife stepped back in... Then alas the last card and who would have known His card wasn’t dealt and the crowd it all moaned And his wife she just smiled turned and walked out the door Cause her husband’s opponent had offered her more...

"Good with a Gun" Collaboration with John Corsaro I've never really attempted to do Rap music so here's my first rap effort. I asked John if he'd like to be involved in any way and he allowed me to pick any drum post he had uploaded onto YouTube and run with it. So I picked his tuned titled Rhythmic Joker VII and here's what I came up with. Copyright 2017 by Tyler Selph "Good With A Gun" 13 year boy and he’s home alone Don’t know now for sure why there was no one else home There and engaged in his video game when he heard a loud sound heard a loud bang There was one bang then two, heard it again, he realized someone else was breaking in So he ran to a bedroom where dad kept a gun and he knew how to shoot it cause his dad taught his son Mhmm to be good with a gun… that’s right Yeah his dad taught his son taught him all that he knew Taught his son how to hunt taught his son how to shoot And had he not time for the teaching he’d done Who knows what would’ve happened that night to his son? Mhmm… who was good with a gun… that’s right The boy ran to a room found the gun and clip racked in a round held it firm to his hip When he met the thieves the boy this is what he did say said you’d better all freeze or I’ll blow you away..! The thieves were all stupid and they all ignored they attacked and he fired two fell to the floor. The other one ran but not far it’s no lie cause there in the driveway… is where that guy died. Mhmm… Cause he was good with a gun, cause his dad taught his son… Police showed up their flashing blue lights found one thief with brass knuckles the other a knife They saw where the burglars broke through the door found them lying in puddles of blood on the floor 13 years old and the cops were all shocked a kid at that age how could he be such a shot... Just 13 years old and the cops were all shocked that kid at that age could be such a great shot But the truth is his dad yes his dad was the one who taught him to hunt and get good with a gun… Mmhmm… yeah his dad taught his son… mhmm and he was good with a gun… From when his dad taught his son… He was good with a gun… and he killed everyone… cause his dad taught his son to be good with a gun… Had he not done what he had done for his son who knows what becomes of his son… with no gun? Yeah his dad took the time to teach all he knew Taught his son how to hunt taught his son how to shoot And had he not took the time and all that teachings he’s done Then who knows what would’ve happen… that night to his son… Who was good with a gun… very good with a gun… Good with a gun… very good with a gun..!

This Song Is About You copyright 2017 by Tyler Selph If I were to write you a love song would you know it was only for you? Cause if written I’d keep it a secret that it’s you who I’m singing it to That’s right I would never tell no one who it’s written for I’d never say But if I were to write you a love song then the lyrics… might give it away... That’s what some folks would say… Cause if I were to write you a love song, it would tell you I’m so glad we met It would tell you I’m so very grateful Al Gore gave us all internet… lol Cause without him we’d not know each other without him I doubt there’s a way That we would have ever discovered or found one another that day... So this song is about you and you know that it’s true… That this song is about you… am I getting this through? That I’m so glad you found me and… I’m glad I found you And I’m hoping you’ll realize… this song’s about you... This song’s about you… So now one last clue I have for you that I hope makes it perfectly clear That this love songs for you and you only, for you and you only my dear For if not for a letter you sent me there’d be, be no song here to write And you know I can only keep dreaming... of sleeping beside you tonight... and you know this is right… Not beside you tonight... So this song is about you… and you know that it’s true… That this song is about you… am I getting this through That I’m so glad you found me and I’m glad I found you And I’m hoping you’ll realize… this song’s about you… and you know that it’s true...

"Meandering Melody" for relaxation and meditation. Copyright 2017 by Tyler Selph

I wish I could take credit for the melody line here but I think the Stray Cats as mentioned below may have dibs on that. Actually I did a little research and as it turns out Richard Hell & The Voidoids did a song called Blank Generation having this same progression which came out about 5 years before Stray Cat Strut was released. Some say Brian Setzer of the Stray Cats stole the progression but who knows? Here's a link to the tune if you're interested... You'll find the song at the 16:54 minute mark. https://youtu.be/UkTs883qImY Now the lyrics to my song titled Julio's Song. Copyright 2017 by Tyler Selph Julio he's a ladies man and that's all that we really knowWhere he came from nobody knows andnobody knows where he'll go...Out of nowhere he seems to appear.. and he buys everybody a beerWhere he goes all the chicks gather round...Yeah that's where all the babes can be found with Julio... Julio...The women all love him and the men all just wish he would leaveHow does Julio always show with up... with girls on each sleeveJulio..! Julio..!Ahh...he never eats candy he's just too sweet and he mesmerizesthe girl's that he meetsHe's a man full of love and knows how to romanceAll the girls hope that Julio... gets in their pants! Julio... Julio...He's a man full of mystery and he gets all his wine and his women for freeWhen I saw him last night I would swear it's a fact he had three..!When Julio plays guitar and he sings all the ladies they want give Julio everythingTo be by his side and to have a few kids but Julio that's not the way that he lives... Julio... that's Julio...They all tell Julio they... love him and so and they hope and they pray that he'll let his feelings show... but Julio always has somewhere else to go... Julio...Julio... Julio... Julio...

A fun song about St. Patrick's Day. I hope you enjoy it... St. Patrick’s Day..! St. Patrick was born long ago in this world as a boy he was taken one day To the Irish a slave until he had a dream of a ship that would take him away... If you study you’ll learn that one day he returned to the land that had kept him in chains And you’ll see what he did was convert all the pagans oh yes he did make quite a change..! So they made him a Patron and when he did die I’ll not lie that he paved all the way For those who had listened converted to Christians and that’s why he’s famous today..! So why all the beer well that’s not really clear but it’s clear that the beer will be green And they’ll put it away by the pint all the day and get ripped if you know what I mean? So I’m raising my glass and I’ll toast to the past and the Saint who deserves to be cheered So here’s to St. Patrick come on raise it up but make sure that’s your mugs full of beer..! Pass one over here..! Yes its St. Patrick’s Day and we’re going to have a parade..! And we’ll all get drunk its okay it’s finally St. Patrick’s Day Yes it’s St. Patrick’s Day and we’re going to have a parade And we’re going to drink lots of brew And you know that’s just what we will do. On St. Patrick’s Day..! Finally St. Patrick’s Day So today is St. Patrick’s Day… and everyone’s happy and gay And you better wear green if you know what I mean or get pinched on the cheek of the ass! So we’re going to have us a beer And we’re glad everyone can be here And we’ll all say hip hip hooray! Cause it’s finally St. Patrick’s Day..! Ahhh it’s St. Patrick’s Day… we all get to behave… and get carried away..! We love St. Patrick’s Day! Ahhh now come on out and play..! Cause its St. Patrick’s Day..!

A song in A Capella that I made up as I went along. Inspired by the power of mother nature! Oh listen to old man Winter blow We've had with all of old man Winter's snow and as March marches in soon the Spring will begin But for now hear the wind as it blows... old man Winter...So you hear the strong winds and you know soon they'll end And the Spring will appear and the new new-born deer...And for now we'll just hear old man Winter... Winter blow...Just hear as he blows... Old man Winter's blowing And although it's not snowing... old man Winter blows...
