‘YOU STRIKE THE MATCH – YOU ARE THE FLAME’
Tomorrows’ everlasting
Yesterday is dead
Today is just a fantasy
Of what’s spinning inside my head
I can’t second guess the answers
To your questions; I just don’t know
I major in uncertainty
Like sunshine on fresh fallen snow
I couldn’t take the upper hand
Couldn’t take charge of any game
I hunt alone, not in a crowd
You strike the match – you are the flame
So light your fire, fan the blaze
I never planned to have a plan
I never buy a ticket
After the sell-out games began
The sisterhood of women
The brotherhood of man
Means nothing to the egotists
Close your eyes; you’ll understand
You hear me when I’m not speaking
You follow where I don’t go
You’ve got the wrong idea
I’m just an act – I’m not the show
If you’ve not heard it before, you might like this song, ‘Rexie Believes in Magic’ from my ‘Dream Rescuer’ album. It’s the opposite to my new words above. I hope you enjoy;

You strick the match
I am the flame
The glow you see through the dark
I light the match
You are the flame
The heat that warms

Thanks you, ‘The English Professor’- if I ever wrote a proper book I’d ask you if you’d let that be the title – I really appreciate your comment ~ George

George, you are welcome to the title. I would look forward to seeing your book that, I am sure, would be as intriguing as your muic.

Oddly, I did write a book a couple of years ago. ‘The Words & Thoughts of a Dyslexic Musician’. I never really got around to marketing it so never found out if it was good or bad. With me it’s always been music first, but if I get the chance to write another I now have the title. Thank you ~ George

Listening to the last third of Rexie Believes In Magic, as I write. Pretty good!
‘YOU STRIKE THE MATCH – YOU ARE THE FLAME’ words are very neat.
Your work is excellent.
Honestly, I’d love to hear & feel a band of live musicians play your music.

Thanks, Resa. It’s a bit of a nuisance that I play all the music you hear myself. It makes it impossible for me to take a lot of my songs into public places. Thanks again ~ George

Rexie does believe in magic! Loved hearing that song again. From your words, “I’m just an act, not the show” I almost fell off my chair! So true! Seems there is a lot of pressure lately to plan, act, entertain and BE the show. But I get the I’m an act NOT the show. Sorry George, I’m rambling. Tough, sleepless night… I’m good with Rexie. I really must believe in Magic right now… have a good day, George! 😊

Your last line’s a sharp one here, my friend. It says a lot how the narrator sees himself vs. how the other character sees the narrator. It reminds me of how people see the words “writer” and “author” and how one always seems, or feels anyway, a bit lesser than the other.

Thanks. I’ve got hopes for this one as a song, probably in the new year now, but it’s one I can adapt to music. I’ve no idea where the last line came from, but I like it. Thanks again ~ George
