(just some fun stuff from me!)
Lyrics are below also
Like A Top
Love From a Distance
Burnt Bridge
Like a Top – Mark Urso
She still spins around!
Like she’s gonna be comin’ off the ground
Like a top in a world of sound
Can’t stop can’t flop can’t drop be bop
She goes ’round like a wheel
Spinnin’ like the world is on her heel Continue reading “Three Originals by Mark”

It was fifty degrees and I ran out of excuses, so this evening I made my way to the Strange Brew Pub in Norwich, CT for an open mic! Continue reading “Mark Urso Live at Strange Brew Pub 2/22/22 – Making Pies”

We’re on a mighty trip!
We never get it right!
But God grades on a curve
You get what you deserve! A song!
By popular demand (not my cat!) I’ll do a Turkey Day share.
This is still in process, and represents my latest project.
It’s called “Neaky Freat.”
It’s about dancing.
I play all the instruments, designed the drums and wrote the tune.
Working on this in iMovie as I migrate to a better interface (DaVinci).
Also getting to know Apple Motion a little better, which is fun!
At this point, I haven’t added the bass guy, some FX and finishing. Continue reading “Neaky Freat”
You look into my soul
Right in to my eyes
Like a gun you hold
Nothing left to be told
Sometimes I don’t eat
Worry like a lost sheep
Feel so vulnerable
Then you do what you do
I’m in poverty
And you’re peeling away
And I wish you would do it
Do it all day
I’m surrendering now
You know I know how
The connection is easy
Just let time go slow
And the invisible beat
It’s at all of our feet
You look into my heart
While I’m watching the show
It’s a dance party
That goes on for years Continue reading “Just Let Time Go Slow”

This one dates back to the 1700s. It’s about a girl who stalks a guy. But back in the day, it was a treasured traditional story of a woman in love, across cultural boundaries. From Springsteen in the 70s to campfires with Vikings, themes we hear in popular music are timeless!
I’ll include the lyrics with the chords, below. You can give it a try if you’re a musician, or just read the lyrics; it’s pretty fun. The woman dumps her rich boyfriend for a lowly farmer, and they live happily ever after!
Despite the stalking premise, this song is definitely safe for kids! Continue reading “The Golden Glove – Mark Urso”

A Cover of a Jerry Garcia song, which should also be familiar to fans of the Grateful Dead. It’s always been one of my favorite Garcia tunes, Mission in the Rain, from 1976’s “Reflections” from the Jerry Garcia Band.
As performed by yours truly … Continue reading “Mission in the Rain (Music Video), Mark Urso (with EZ chords for musicians)”
Simple Twist of Fate (Bob Dylan), covered by Mark Urso. G&L Bluesboy tele-style guitar, Boss VE-8 Acoustic Singer, Shure Continue reading “Simple Twist of Fate, Mark Urso”
So, I saw a great band, and they did this song, so I went home and figured it out. The only problem is, I’m not as great as they are!
But I’m trying! Playing with a Boss VE-8 Acoustic Singer pedal, with no amp. The electric guitar is plugged into the pedal, which goes into my recording DAW. The pedal arrangement on the VE-8 is quite excellent. In all my time playing with audio equipment, I’ve never Continue reading “Love Yourself (Sheeran) – Mark Urso”
Flutterby Butterfly
Flutterby butterfly!
Come to rest here on my nest
As you migrate from the wild west
So much more beautiful than the rest!
I don’t even wonder why!
I find you so perfect
I don’t even know your name!
Or a flutter from a flick!
My love for nature’s bounty reigns
My country ’tis of nature’s ways Continue reading “What I Do at 2:25 AM (a poem)”
