"I'll Follow You"
Nothing particular about the melody here folks but it's the message I hope you'll get here more than anything.
It's a song which I hope will inspire all original artists to start following other original artists on Spotify. I don't know about you but I sure could use a little more money these days... As the song says... it's a crazy idea but I'm willing to take people names if they send them to me below and start following them on Spotify today if they will be kind enough to reciprocate. Why not..? Copyright 2017 by Tyler Selph, all rights reserved. Peace everybody..! :-) Please share with your friends my friends.. :-) Now the lyrics...
I’ll follow you if you follow me This morning I woke up and jumped out of bed This crazy idea had just popped in my head I thought of a way we could play and get paid And I’m gonna to share my idea here today I don’t know if you’ve done it but here’s what I did I posted my songs right here on DistroKid And the more people listen the more I get paid And the more people hear the cool songs I’ve played Well I think it makes sense here for me to ask you What’s the most logical thing we could do? And it may never work but heck why not let’s try To follow each other right now on Spotify So I’m asking you to just send me your name I’ll follow you friend and hope you’ll do the same It’s one crazy scheme and I know it sound funny But couldn’t we all use a little more money? So today I’ll be finding you and I’ll be following you And I’m hoping that you will come follow me too It’s a crazy idea but who knows it may fly And we’ll all never know till we give it a try So I’ll follow you and hope you’ll follow me We can follow each other and do it for free But who knows how much money we could make If we all started following each other today… :-)

Lyrics below...
“It’s all over but the cryin”
Monday morning what a mess showed up late to work I guess
And he was told to clear his desk and head on home
He was dreading heading there knew the news he had to share
Would make his sweetheart probly swear… and then she’d cry
Getting fired that’s no curse but this day it got much worse
Cause when he approached his driveway to pull in
There was a car there in his spot and it was one he’d seen a lot
Because it happened to belong to his best friend
Didn’t dawn on him at first he thought perhaps while he’s at work
His wife had called his friend to come and fix their drain
But when he got inside instead he found them screwing in his bed
And then and there is when he truly went insane
Now it’s all over but the cryin’ and it’s all over but the tears
He wondered how long they’ve been lyin’, weeks or months or even years?
She’s been caught look at her crying cause she knows that’s his best friend
She sees the fury in his eyes and knows this party’s ‘bout to end
So the two commenced to fightin’ it was really quite a sight
And all the while his wife was screaming please please stop
But he beat him black and blue and pretty soon the fight was through
And fore he knew it he was hand-cuffed by the cops
So they hauled him off to jail but wasn’t long fore he made bail
Then hailed a taxi home but wondered why?
Best friend’s car yeah still there it was like they didn’t care
So he decided then and there they had to die
Now it’s all over but the crying it’s all over but the pain
It’s all over but the tear-drops mixed with blood there in the drain
It’s all over but the memories of the day he realized
That his wife and his best friend both had to die
And he didn’t care about the chair… he’d fry
It’s all over but the crying it’s all over yeah they’re dead
Never guessed his own best friend would screw his wife in his own bed
It’s all over but the tear-drops mixed with blood there in the drain
It’s all over but the verdict… not guilty… he’s insane…

Here's a song I wrote to thank everyone on Fandalism who have now listened to my songs over one million times. I am forever grateful to those who have come to listen to my originals and a big hug to other artists on Fandalism who have allowed me to add my lyrics and vocals to their great melodies. Without them there would be no way I could have achieved a million-aired status. Thanks a million..! :-)
Lyrics below:
“Thanks a Million”
Must’ve been ‘bout the age of five when my love for music first came alive
And since that day wrote a ton of songs played guitar and sang along
I’ve written love songs, written hate, one shitty song caused a great debate
Wrote many songs with the folks I’ve met right here on the internet
But writing songs to post online some folks would ask why we’d waste our time?
Our songs aren’t on the radio but we don’t care do we?
Yeah to them I’d say we’re all truly blessed our songs get listened to oh yes
In fact I found out just today that a million times our songs were played
Ahhh that blows me away so I wanna say
Thanks a million yes thanks to everyone thanks a million this really has been fun
Thanks a million for this music we all shared thanks a million now we’re all million-aireds… :-)
A music mile-stone yes indeed and still I feel I’ve got the need
To keep on writing songs to sing for a million other human beings
Know what I mean
And who knows there might come a day we’ll find the songs we wrote and played
Were listened to 10 million times at least I hope that’s what we’ll find
And so to you I raise my mug and if you were here I’d give you a hug
For sharing in my songs and rhymes that have now been played a million times
My silly songs and rhymes
One million times… without a dime one million plays what can I say
But thanks a million to everyone thanks a million this truly has been fun
Thanks a million for this music we all shared thanks a million now we’re all million-aireds… yeah we’re all million-aireds with this music we’ve shared
Thanks a million… to you… thanks a million this song is now through… :-)

Lyrics below...
My baby’s in her hot tub headphones on
Plays her favorite music and she likes to sing along
Movin’ and a groovin’ to the sound of the beat
When my baby’s in her hot-tub she’s turnin’ up the heat
My baby loves her hot-tub cause she loves to get wet
Yeah she’s climbin’ in that hot-tub every chance that she can get
When she’s headed to her hot-tub Mr. Bubble’s comin’ too
Yeah playin’ in her hot-tub that’s what she loves to do
When My baby’s in her hot-tub tellin you no lies
She likes to close her eyes and sometimes likes to fantasize
When my baby’s in her hot tub she’s turning on those jets
Yeah when my baby’s in her hot tub she’s getting’ soaking wet
You bet…
Babe gets in her hot-tub she’s turnin’ on her heat
Wants me in there too and she looks good enough to eat
I wanna climb right on in there and I would but can’t get in
Cause my baby’s got the water temperature above a hundred ten
And I just can’t get in
Yeah she likes her tub hot you can see it boil
She’s getting’ out her lotions and she’s spreading on her oil…
She’s playing with her bubbles and she turnin’ on her jets
My baby’s in her hot-tub and getting soaking wet
When baby’s rub-a’dubbin she says she feels so good
Says cabana boy how ‘bout a beer I really wish you would
I say here my dear here’s one more beer and frosty mug too
Then she pulls me in the tub and now I’m rub-a-dubbing too
What can I do
And so now I’m in her hot-tub can barely take the heat
The only way I’ll stay is if I get a treat
Getting so much pleasure but I’m also getting boiled
Yeah I’m really cookin’ while my baby’s getting spoiled
My baby loves her hot-tub loves me in there too
Cause when we’re in her hot-tub all she wants to do
Is keep me in there with her until she’s all satisfied
Yeah she’s getting’ satisfaction while my butt is gettin’ fried
Yeah she’s in her hot-tub and rubbin all around
In her hot-tub and groovin’ to the sound
She’s in her hot-tub wearing out those jets
In her hot-tub gettin’ soaking wet
In her hot-tub… rub-a-dub-a-dub

Lyrics:
Got my Volkswagen Beetle turning the key
Is she gonna wanna fire up have to wait and see
Lots’a times she won’t other times she will
But just in case she don’t… I park her on a hill
She’s a ‘63 and used to be baby blue
But in lots of places you can see rust coming through
Muffler’s hanging low might fall off in the road
But me and my old Beatle…. that lightens up our load
My Beetle’s got a name… I call her Ladybug
Shag carpet on the floorboard… from my old lady’s rug
Yeah I’m a Beetle Freak… yeah this ain’t no lie
I’m jump’in my Ladybug and I’m gonna take her for a ride
Well there’s more I need to tell you ‘bout my Beetle freak ways
When I’m riding in my Beetle like to hear my Beatles play
Right this very moment crankin’ Yellow Submarine
Got my Beatles in my Beetle… if you know what I mean…
Yeah I’m a Beetle Freak it ain’t no lie
Beetles in my eight track baby by my side
Rock n and a Rollin that’s what we love to do
Me and my baby… on a Beetle cruise…
That’s what we love to do
My Beetle’s gotta a name… I call her Ladybug
Shag carpet on the floorboard… from my old lady’s rug
Mufflers hangin’ low… might fall off in the road
But me and my ol Ladybug well that just lightens up our load
Yeah I’m a Beetle Freak and this ain’t no lie
Jump’in my Ladybug to take her for a ride
Rockin’ and a rollin’ that’s what we love to do
I got my Beatles in my Beetle… on a Beetle cruise
Guitar Solo
Yeah I’m a Beetle Freak… and this ain’t no lie
I’m jump’in my Ladybug… we gonna take her for a ride
Yeah we’re rockin’ and a rollin’ that’s what we love to do
Got Beatles in my Beetle and we’re… on a Beetle cruise
Yeah that’s what we love to do…

I Love My Shit
Well my shit smells like chocolate cause that’s what I love to eat
And there’s no doubt about it I love my chocolate treats
I eat so dang much chocolate that it makes my shit smell fine
And that’s when I go drop a deuce bring my favorite glass of wine to spend my time
Yeah I love my Reese’s Pieces and I love my Snickers too
And love to smell the end result that’s drifting off my poo
Yeah I know some of you might think think I’m crazy but it’s true
There’s nothing I’d rather do than smell my shit
Ahhh that’s right I love to smell my shit you get it?
Well my shit smells so delicious when I’m in a public place
The folks start flocking to the john to have themselves a taste
They’ll lift their noses in the air and then they’ll head my way
And once they smell my shit oh well I’ll hear them say
That’s terrific… oh my gosh what it that
They find I'm on the toilet and they realize a fact
I… love my shit… and they’re all aware of it
Cause they’re all sharing the smells and they can tell
I got great shit this you cannot deny
My shits so fine you get a whif and it'll blow your mind
I love my shit so fine I like to sit and share it with a glass of wine
I love my shit what can I say
Time to just sit sit and play with my shit
Ah I love to sit sit in here on the thrown and I’m all alone
With my shit…

Here's a song about my moving to Haiti as a kid at the age of about 15 and not knowing a soul. It tells about a girl who happened to live next door and she and I became friends in a unique way. I hope you enjoy it and if you'd like to hear more of my original songs please sub to me here on Fandalism or even Spotify or your music provider. Of course I will be very happy to sub back if you have a channel of your own. Cheers..! :-)Lyrics below...
New kid on the block didn’t know a soul
But I saw right away she was right next door
Didn’t know who she was and she didn’t know me
But she knew I could see in a room at night oh what a sight
She kept a small candle by bedside at night
And she’d draw up her curtains yeah draw them up tight
And when she’d light her candle her shadowed appear
On the curtains she always kept closed so tight every night
Then came one night she lit up her candle
And I lit mine up too
And there on that night to the right moved my light
And I wondered would she’d move hers too
Well she moves to the curtains and her shadow it grows
Started flirting with her candle-light’s glow
She lifted it slow like a moon in the sky
I could see we were starting to see eye to eye
Conversing with candles and flirting with flames
Even though didn’t know… each other’s names
Conversing with candles just like 2 little kids
And sharing with shadows yeah that’s what we did
Conversing with candles and flirting with flames
Well after nearly an hour our candles burned down But we had lots of fun with our playing around
Then along came the wind and it blew out our flames
Yeah the wind put an end to our candle-light games
But there’s more to this story I’m happy to say
There were many more games which the two of us played
Hadn’t met face to face and still didn’t know names
But we chatted with candles and we flirted with flames… ahhhh yeah…Conversing with candles and flirting with flames
Neither one of us knowing… each other’s names
Speaking in circles and sharing in squares
Nobody knew what the two of us shared
Conversing with candles and flirting with flames
Conversing with candles and flirting with flames
Playing those games
Conversing with candles and flirting with flames :-)

Here's a song that I couldn't help but write after the Detroit Lions Monday nights loss to the Green Bay Packers that was another true fiasco for sure and certain. One bad call after another and too many men on the field haunts the Lions again..! Hope you enjoy this and if so please help my musical endeavors by subbing to me here and or on Spotify or your music provider of choice. I'll be very grateful and sub back if you have a channel. Have a great day and let's break that curse... if there is one..? LOL Lyrics below...
Another Sunday afternoon oh yeah it’s football time again
I’m hoping this time things might change and I’ll see my Lions win
Praying that their playing will result in victory
Or once again will this game end in shame and misery
It’s clear now they’re a bunch of guys with talent & great spirit
They’ve hung so close in every game the W so near it
But with a lead by 20 points and half way through the forth
That lead just disappears somehow like all the leads before
Are the Lions jinxed… man have they been cursed?
Did they trade away the Babe or even something worse
Did they not allow in Willy with his little Billy goat?
What can we do to undo what they’ve done
Too many men and flags this ain’t no fun… for anyone no no…
Well folks I’m not for certain but I think it’s safe to say
The Lions hold the record for losing on the final play
And calls that change the games results & flags that shouldn’t fly
Enough to make you start to wonder why?
And make a grown man cry…
Well the Lions breaking records like no team in history
How many times could games be lost by calls from referees?
There’s a lot of people saying it sure seems this game is rigged
Or is it just a curse and we need to sacrifice a pig?
Perhaps next week there at the gate they hand out rabbits feet
That everyone can rub for every play
And why not hand out horseshoes too and give out rosaries
Perhaps the Lions win if we all pray?
Are the Lions jinxed… man have they been cursed
Did they trade away the Babe or even something worse
Did they not allow ol’ Willy with his little Billy goat?
What can we do to undo what they’ve done
Too many men and flags this ain’t no fun… for anyone
Another game they should have won…
Another game they should have won… :-(

To start with I already know I have a different title on the video but I like my new title for it. It really does fit better. Now...While I was moving recently most of my recording equipment was packed up so I just had my acoustic and cell phone for recording. This explains my back to back whistling tunes today. This idea for a song came to me just as my daughter called to tell mom her car was not running again and she had no money to fix it. I just kept recording even with all the annoying yelling and in the end it seemed to almost fit together somehow. I was whistling the song while playing but the guitar pretty much drowned out the original whistling so I over-dubbed the whistling and went with it. Hope you like it and please subscribe to me here on YouTube, Spotify or whoever you use for music. I'm on almost all platforms. Of course I'll be happy to return the favor and sub back to you. Cheers..!Photo from Max Pixel titled "Upset Pout Face Angry Woman Emotion Dissatisfied"

"United We Stand or Divided We Fall" By Tyler Selph all rights reserved.
This is a familiar song which I take no credit for as the lyrics were written by Katharine Lee Bates, and the music was composed by church organist and choirmaster Samuel A. Ward at Grace Episcopal Church in Newark, New Jersey. The two never met. That being said I've decided to implement it in my latest creation about the state of our great nation at this time. I hope you all enjoy it. The flag waving video was posted on Vimeo by Steve Sherron and the music was posted to Vimeo by Gabriel Lewis. Cheers..!
Lyrics
United We’ll Stand or Divided We’ll Fall
Folks I’ve got to admit like I know I must do
Yeah I’ve gotta say something sure to piss off a few
Ain’t no new revelation I’ll be telling you all
Throughout civilization… united they stand… but divided they fall
See the hist’ry books tells us what our future will hold
This is why I’m here telling what I know must be told
It’s a timeless true story I share with you all
United we stand… or divided we fall
Yeah united we stand… and we join hand in hand
Cause we know deep inside and we all understand
They’ll be no perfect union, no no union at all
Cause united we stand… but divided we fall…
Yeah united we stand no there should be no doubt
Yes our future’s at stake we must figure it out
We must do what we can to put an end to it all
Cause united we stand but divided we fall…
Now’s the time to take action and stop all this hate
Better we do it now my friends ‘fore it’s too late
Cause the hist’ry books tell us and we all know it’s true
If we keep up this fighting… this great country is through
They call for impeachment gonna try one more time
They don’t care what they spend as they search for a crime
Yeah they’ve laid out their Trump card of this there’s no doubt
Just a phone call is all this is all all about.
And if up on that hill they can’t all change they’re ways
And the foolish behavior we’re all seeing these days
Then I say we make changes to get rid of them all
Cause united we stand or divided we’ll fall
This is no monkey business no this shit it’s for real
And now that I’ve said it wanna know how I feel?
I feel oh so much better having said to you all
That united we stand or divided we’ll fall.
It’s a sad situation but it’s more than just that
It’s the fate of our nation oh yeah that’s where it’s at
Let the fighting be over put an end to it all
Cause united we stand… or divided we’ll fall…

I Said a Prayer for a Turtle video by Tyler Selph, Copyright 2019 All rights reserved.I had so many people including Clive, tell me I should do more with my last posting so I did. I hope you like this new studio version. My first recording at the new place. Cheers..! I said a prayer for a turtle today
He was walking so slowly as he made his way
Down a little 2-lane highway that runs through the woods
And I’d have stopped and saved him if I only could
But the traffic was busy with cars close behind
No his chances of making it didn’t seem kind
So I said a prayer for that turtle
Yeah I said a prayer for the turtle Yeah I prayed all the drivers behind me weren’t blind
And would see him and swerve just to make sure he’d find
Safe passage in crossing and traveling on
With a future in the forest… and cool dips in a pond...
I said a prayer for that turtle today And I prayed that he’d make it safely
Yeah I said a prayer for that turtle today
And I prayed he’d survive and somehow stay alive
Yeah I said a prayer for a turtle today… I said a prayer for a turtle…
In an hour or so headed home with my load
I was dreading the sight... of him there in the road
Was my prayer for him answered...
Or was his life lost?
Oh my God there he is… going right back across..! And oh yeah my friends… I did it again
Yeah I said a prayer for a turtle…
I said a prayer... for a turtle… :-)

"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.

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..! :-)

X-Kid
Hey… little kid… did you wake up late one day and you're not so young… but you're still dumb… and you're numb to your old glory but now it's gone
I fell in love… but it didn't catch your fall… then I crashed… into a wall… then I fell to pieces on the floor now you're sick to death Bombs away… here goes nothing… the shouting's over
Hey X-Kid… bombs away… here goes nothing the shouting's over and out… over and out again
I once was old enough to know better then I was too young to care… … but who cares probly would but Hollywood is dead and gone
You fell in love… but then you just fell apart
Like a kick in the head you’re an X-Kid and you never even got started again
Bombs away… here goes nothing the shouting's over
Hey X-Kid… bombs away here goes nothing the shouting's over and out… over and out
And you were searching your soul… and you got lost and out of control…
You went over the.. edge.. of.. jokin… and died of a broken heart
Hey… little kid… did you wake up late one day and you're not so young… but you're still dumb… you’re an X-Kid and you never even got started again
Bombs away… here goes nothing the shouting's over
Hey X-Kid… bombs away… here goes nothing the shouting's over
Hey X-Kid… bombs away
Here goes nothing the shouting's over
Hey X-Kid… bombs away here goes nothing
The shouting's over and out… over and out… Over and over and out...

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.

Flint though didn’t say so we all thought that he was a-okay
Doctors said his toe looked really bad
And what they all said to him was sad
Flint’s toe hurting him so
So ol’ Flint he got sedated… toe got amputated
And now he’s feeling fine..! :-)

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.

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

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...

Gonna ride the world like a merry-go-round Like a Ferris wheel like it’s breaking down Drinking angel’s piss, gonna crash and burn I just want some action so gimme my turn Like a Chinese drama and conspiracy
It’s the death of a nuclear family staring up at you
It’s looking like another bad comedy
Just as long as it comes in hi-fidelity for me too
Can you hear the sound coming over the hill?
Gotta move my feet, it’s coming in for the kill
Ba-baby, baby it’s a blow out ah yeah
Like a nuclear bomb and it won’t be long ’til I detonate
Like a Chinese drama and conspiracy
Its the death of a nuclear family staring up at you It’s looking like another bad comedy Just as long as it comes in hi-fidelity for me too
Gonna ride the world like a merry-go-round Like a Ferris wheel like it’s breaking down Scream, screaming, screaming bloody murder Wow
Like a nuclear bomb and it won’t be long ’til I detonate
Like a Chinese drama and conspiracy
It’s the death of a nuclear family staring up at you
It’s looking like another bad comedy
Just as long as it comes in hi-fidelity for me too
I say ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three 5-4-3-2-1

"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. All images are from Goggle images and are "labeled for re-use". Copyright 2018 by Tyler Selph, all rights reserved. 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..! :-)

Many of you may have heard this instrumental by HG Schmitz which he posted here on Fando about 2 weeks ago. When I heard it I felt 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 am updating this description to share will everyone some very sad news. HG is no longer with us as he passed away in September of 2019. I am pleased and honored to have come to know him and worked with several of his genius melodies and incredible videos like this one and his creations like this will live on forever. RIP 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…

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..!

I'm An Asshole And I Don't Care by Tyler Selph & Joe CNBS copyright 2018
Here's one last attempt to get the advertisers to leave Fandalism.
Rated M for mature audiences.
Music track by JoeCNBS. Hear more of his awesome music tracks here. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSYaTo8xs9EihNf2Xztzf8Q
Lyrics below:
I don’t have a job but I’ve got a service, got no money and I’m getting nervous
Time to make something really happen, wiping my ass with stolen restaurant napkins
But I’ve finally come to realize it, got to find a way to advertise it
I realize that it’s vandalism, but I’m gonna start posting on Fandalism
Yeah I realize it’s vandalism
Yeah I’m gonna do it and I don’t care, if noone wants my service there
And hope and wish and I yes I’ll pray, these broke musicians can afford to pay
Cause if not I’ll soon be on the street, searching through garbage cans to eat
Why not there’s lots of other jerks, posting here cause there outta work
So I just uploaded my first ad, but it seems like folks are getting mad
They’re telling me that I don’t belong, posting ads instead of songs
But I don’t care what they all say, I’ll keep on posting anyway
See I’ve got a dream and I’ve got a plan, to stop eating out of garbage cans
And perhaps some day someone will call, say something other than… suck my balls
No I’ve got nothing… left to lose, than my hole filled socks and my sole-less shoes
Yeah I’m a loser yes indeed, and I’ll keep on posting guaranteed
And I’ll tell you you can go to hell, for not buying what I’m trying to sell
And I wish I had time to tell you more, but I gotta get down to the grocery store
Thank God my food-stamps just arrived, to keep my sorry ass alive
So kiss my butt if you don’t like me, I’ll keep posting here because it’s free
For what else is there left to do, but to screw myself like you’ve asked me to

Williamston Michigan tourism video by Tyler Selph, copyright 2018.
I decided recently to create this song and video for the City of Williamston Michigan to help promote tourism. Here's what I came up with and hope you like it.
Lyrics below:
Williamston Jubilee song
Time to get all excited cause you’ve all been invited
To join in the fun here in Williamston
Yes its Jubilee time… time to unwind
And have a really really really good time
You can watch racing tractors or see some great actors
At our local playhouse fun’s what we’re all about
Sip a cool lemonade while you view our parade at the Williamston Jubilee
Fine wining and dining all within walking distance
Like the 109 Tavern or Red Cedar Grill for instance
And do you like antiques then come take a peek cause Williamston’s unique in this way
And folks if you like it you can take a short hike
Around our riverside park where you can stroll after dark
Find the Lions club tent and your money’s well spent on munchies and a mug full of beer..!
And oh yeah the craft show make sure you bring your dough
Cause who knows just how much you might spend?
And if your money’s all gone Cash 4 Anything Pawn
Will treat you like you’re their best friend
So grab all your friends and come and join in the fun
Cause there’s something here in Williamston for everyone
Come out and you’ll see it’s a great place to be the Williamston Jubilee!
Come out and you’ll see it’s a great place to be the Williamston Jubilee!

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

"She Thinks He's A Porno Addict" By Tyler Selph & Joe CNBS all rights reserved.
This is a song created by Joe CNBS and I've added lyrics and vocals to it. Hear more of Joe's killer tracks here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSYa... Video thumbnail from this site: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/art... 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

Lyrics "Fathers of the Night" Now some would say a sunny day is what they like the most Lay out on the beach with baby oil make their bodies toast Baking there like tasty pastries frying in the mid-day sun But I prefer to keep things cool to me that’s way more fun Than frying in the sun… Getting up round 12 noon I stay in from the heat But ten pm’s a coming soon that’s when I’ll hit the street Rolling with my homies as we cruise Park Avenue Nothing in the world my friends and I would rather do And you know it’s true… that’s what we love to do… We’re fathers of the night… On the dance floor we know how to hold you tight We know how to treat a woman right… making love by candle-light We’re fathers of the night… know how to treat a woman right… Making love by candle-light… Look there the sun is setting now hangs so low in the sky Soon the shadows growing long the moon will slowly start to rise And stars will fill the sky and all my friends and I go out and play We’re fathers of the night that’s right that’s all there is to say… Father’s of the night…

This song was first posted to Fandalism by Mark Taylor a few days back. 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. He posted it on Monday but I decided to hold off until Blues Thursday to post as it seems appropriate. Here is the outcome and we both hope you will enjoy it.
The video clip is from Vimeo and was posted by Guapo Magazine and is titled "In Bed With Bananas Models". It can be seen here.

Lyrics below...
"Monday Morning Mood"
Monday morning in bed
Thoughts are running all through my head
Indecision in a trance
Dare I take another chance?
One more try to find romance
The victim of my own circumstance
I feel like I’m too tired to dance again…
Drifting back into a dream
Life is not what it may seem
The safest place for me to keep
Appears to be right here deep in my sleep
All my covers my cocoon
And I’ll feel better soon
But for now I’m in a Monday morning mood
And I’ve got quite an attitude
So now I’m falling back to sleep
To dream sweet dreams and I’ll not weep
I’ll wake up feeling better soon but for now I’m in
A Monday morning mood

Party Next Door by DJ Valentine & Tyler Selph all rights reserved.
Here's another one where I've used one of DJ Valentines recorded back tracks.
He already had this instrumental titled "Party Next Door" so I went with that idea and wrote around it.
No copyright claim on my part on this one.
Check out DJ's original track here.
https://youtu.be/5f1bHFR98-Q
Lyrics below...
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…

Albatross
They spread their wings out wide as they slowly glide
Above the sea below they fly so very slow as they go…
Where-ever the wind may blow
And no they never tire they’re soaring ever higher
And just like you and I they’re flying side by side
As the Albatross soar across the sky
They are the perfect pair much like you and me
They fell in love for life residing by the sea
In peace and tranquility
So spread your wings out wide and we will slowly glide
Above the sea below we’ll fly so very slow…
Where-ever the wind may blow… that’s where we’ll go
Where-ever the wind may blow

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. For all of you who've already commented on the first posting I say thanks so very much but hopefully you'll like this version more.
Have a super day..!
This song is about a couple with their relationship on the rocks.

"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

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…

When We're On Our Own by Tyler Selph, copyright 2018 all rights reserved.
This song is about a couple with their relationship on the rocks. 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 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…

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....

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 Claus Ain't Comin To Town"
A parody by Tyler Selph. No copyright claim on this one. Originally written by British songwriter Tommie Conner and originally recorded by Jimmy Boyd. This particular track comes a YouTube posting by Music Teacher's Digest titled "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town Instrumental + lyrics - traditional" and can be found here.
https://youtu.be/f1GSdBOxyiw
Hope you enjoy it my friends...
Lyrics below.
"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... :-)

Hello everybody and to start with I want to say thank you to all of you who have already heard this song I collaborated on with JC Binetti. When I first heard this in an instrumental form I just felt inspired and asked JC if he would allow me to add lyrics and vocals and I was very happy when he said go for it... so I did.
I am posting it at this time just to allow for others who may have missed it to have a chance to hear it before. You can hear more of JC's tunes hear.

Lyrics below...
Your letter read that you would leave today,where it is you’re going wouldn’t say
Told me you still love me but must move along… but I must tell ya before your gone That I do love you… and I always have… And I should not need to tell you that...
I do love you… so why move along…and like I’m saying in this song… I do love you… I keep you picture by my bed your memories here in my head
I try to cast them all away… but seems as though they wish to stay
And though I know you’re gone for good…
I want this to be understood I’ll not be broken have no fear…
I’ll be glad when you’re not here
Cause I don’t love you …and I never did… And if I told you that… please just forget it… Your letter read that you would leave today where it is you’re going wouldn’t say
Told me you still love me but must move along but I must tell you now before you’re gone…
I hope I’ve made it very clear… I wish you would get outta here
I wish to tell you just to leave…
I wish I could make you believe… that I don’t love you…
So as you turn… just walk away… no kiss goodbye don’t even wave Just walk away and leave me here where I’ll be standing in my tears But I don’t love you… I don’t love you… I don’t love you...

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

No copyright claim to this what-so-ever. Source is YouTube video titled "Devo Whip it (Instrumental)" posted by Terry Jackson. Lyrics below...
Crack that whip… Cash is such a trip Watch him attack… he’ll break the piggy’s back
Well Cash loves his little pig… yes he digs it It’s his polka-dotted pig but he don’t kiss it He grabs it by its head and he whips it… He whips it… watch it shake… shake it up… get straight Throws it forward by its head he thinks it great to make it shake And whip it whip it good If his piggy can’t be found…so he can whip it He’ll be looking all around, so he can whip it… The pig cannot escape… he’s gonna whip it He loves to whip it… whip it good Watch him whip it… whip it good… Crack that whip… Cash is such a trip Watch him attack… break his piggy’s back Yeah he loves his little pig… yes he digs it It’s his little pig he digs… but he don’t kiss it Folks don’t get me wrong… he’d rather whip it He whips it… watch it shake… he shakes it up… get straight He throws it forward by its head he thinks it great to make it shake He whips it…watch it shake… he shakes it up… Get straight… he throws it forward… by its head Try to detect it as it shakes… He’ll whip it whip it good..!

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

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…

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…

They Called Me Pendejo by Tyler Selph copyright 2017 all rights reserved
Just a goofy song about a stupid guy who went on a vacation to Mexico and doesn't know the language... Hope you enjoy it. 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…

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...

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...

Light Up by Jean-Chris Binetti. Copyright 2017 All rights reserved.
A couple of months ago I asked JC to please do a video for my song "If I Don't Have You, I Aint Got Nothing" He was very kind to do so and did a great job. Now he asked me to sing one of his songs and here it is. I hope you all enjoy it... Hear more of Jean-Chris here.

Light up
My eyes feel so heavy
When the stars are calling me
And I'm losing all the sight
Of everything that I know
Will you see these things in the same light oh oh
Walker on a dirt track, oh oh
Through the wind and the snow
In this world of suffering
Love, peace of mind should be our thing
Light up, light up, light up
Light up, light up, light up
Can you see them float in the sky?
Can you hear those echoes of their cries?
Creating a tune…
Do you see the light?
I've… tried so steady
To make something out of what I've seen
But I need you by my side
To find all the answers that I don‘t know
Will you see these things in the same light oh oh
Walker on a dirt track, oh ho
Through the wind and the snow
In this new world of suffering
Love, peace of mind should be our thing
Light up, light up, light up
Bring me the light
So I could find a way
Ahhhh help me… help me find the way
To a brighter day
Can you observe them shine so bright…
Can you feel their loneliness through their cold light
Mmmm… touching you…
Light up… You gotta light up the way
Light up the way… for me…
Uhhuh, gotta gotta light up the way for me…
Do you understand? I need your help I need you by my side
To light my way
Light it up… light my way…
Ahhh light my way light the way for me…
Can you see the light?

Thank You Lord, Tyler Selph, copyright 2017 all rights reserved. Here's a studio version of a song I wrote and posted here a few years back. It's one of my favorites and I hope you too will like it.
Lyrics
Thank you Lord by Tyler Selph
I thank you Lord for all you’ve done
I thank you for your only son
I know without him in my life
I’d never make it through the strife.
I love you Lord for loving me
And taking care of all my needs
And as for all you’ve yet to do
I want to say… say thanks to you.
Thank you Lord… Thank you Lord
For you have taken all my burden
All the pain and all the hurt and
All my sins have been forgiven by Christ’s blood
Yes you gave your only son
So my soul it could be won
What a wonderfully precious act of love
So thank you Lord… Thank you Lord…
Thank you Lord… Thank you Lord
Your story Lord I’ll spread world-wide
The truth it will not be denied
And satan will not ever conquer thee
And should we perish in your name
We’re still in heaven just the same
And in the end we all will sing to you
Thank you Lord… Thank you Lord
Thank you Lord… Thank you Lord
Until we meet I’ll sing your praise
Lord guide me through these hectic days
My prayer please hear it grant me peace
Your guiding spirit stay with me
I thank you Lord for all you’ve done
And thanks for all you’ve yet to do
Thank you Lord… Thank you Lord
Thank you Lord… Thank you Lord
Thank you Lord

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...

Goodbye… So Long… Farewell… Lyrics
I knew right from the start that you could break my heart would tear my world apart and so I stayed away
You wore your blue jeans tight and had them ripped just right to whet my appetite and you just loved to play
To play with hearts of boys to you they are just toys they’d fall in love with you and then here’s what you do
You’d simply write a note and in it what you wrote would tear their fragile worlds apart
You’d leave your note on their bed and they read what it said it really messed up their heads when they read
Goodbye… so long… farewell… and we’ll see ya later
Goodbye… so long… farewell… see ya later alligator
Goodbye… so long… farewell…
So me I stayed away and when you’d look my way I’d look the other way I would not give away
That I was hot for you like all the other dudes then right out of the blue I got pursued by you
You held her body close thought I might overdose you whispered in my ear why don’t we disappear?
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

"Goldielocks"
Well she’s my Goldielocks and I’m her Papa Bear
Yeah she’s my Goldielocks got that golden hair
Well I’m coming home to find my place is a mess
But I’m not here alone no I got a special guest
Her name is Goldielocks and she’s here in my place
Cause it’s her that I’m smelling… and her I can taste..!
Goldielocks ohhhh and I’m her Papa Bear
Well I come to the table and find all my food
Goldie’s cooked a dinner that puts me in the mood
Yeah she cooked my favorites and knows I like meat rare
Knows just how to flavor it and nothing compares
To my Goldielocks ahhaww and I’m her Papa Bear
Yeah she’s my Goldielocks got that golden hair
Well head to the parlor and sit in my chair
Appears again that Goldie's been there
If you ask me how I know I can tell you a lot I can tell that it’s Goldie
Cause the chair is still so hot… oh so hot!
Yeah she’s my Goldielocks mmm and I’m her Papa Bear
She’s my Goldielocks got that golden hair
Well I pick up the candle and I head up to bed
Can’t wait to see Goldie lying there in my bed
And who knows maybe she’ll kiss me and share
And maybe she’ll have missed me when I wasn’t there
Goldielocks ahhaa and I’m her Papa Bear
Ohhh she’s such a fox ohhh and she loves to share
Uh huh oh yeah Uh huh uh oh woh ho
Yeah she’s my Goldielocks and I’m her Papa Bear

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

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…
