Some songs go away for a long time. And like an old friend returning home again, they blast through some car radio on the side of a street on 1st Avenue and you feel the joy of hearing that melody all over again. And it's all the more awesome. Thanks @cyndilauper#allthroughthenight , #lastdayofschool , #puddles , #tears , #time , #growingup , #fatherhood

Few songs put me in as good a mood as this one. You are a dancing machine (at least in your own mind). The funny thing about SPEED OF LIGHT is when I wrote the line "I just want to be in your head tonight!" I laughed out loud because I liked the pun and the cerebral power/ total missed sexual opportunity of it all. Every other pop song in the world would have said "BED" not "HEAD," but that's not where the fun of this song lies. Twist the story, keep 'em guessing, I says. Here it is on Spotify

When I was a kid, music videos were weird. There was eye candy for eye candy sake. Imagery won the day more so than narrative or gritty authenticity. Videos were successful for showing us something we'd never seen before. We once again are in this new land of visuals, and much like the early DJs, it will take some control and some expertise to distill the chaos of imagery into a concise artistic vantage point. Someone will succeed at taming the AI beast FTW. Til then, enjoy the splatter, chatter & morphology of the speed of light. #ai , #trending , #songs , #control , #music , #mysocalledrockstarlife , #surrender , #confusion , #images , #collage , #collageart , #gettingready
(From "Restless Love Bender") It is truly wild how defining arrangements can be. Here I'm just playing on the Yamaha piano I grew up with. Simple melody and bass notes, but the song has a whole new life. I love all dance, particularly when people are working together. #dance , #lovers , #arrangements , #togetherness , #newmusic , #audiofile , #pitchfork .

(From "Lightning Through The Fog") Few things bring nature and humanity together as well as SURFING. And while I am not a surfer, I am a huge fan and always appreciate someone sending me a video of my song on the waves... love it. #surfing , , #mysocalledrockstarlife , #steveoreillymusic , #tubular , #incrediblesport
(From “Don’t Let Them Hurt Your Mind”) Some days just be a sponge - absorb everything. Listen. Be mindful of the fact that there is a world around you. My dog always sees it and always hears it. Why can’t I? #mysocalledrockstarlife , #thecraft , #onemoment
