#Blog | Recording with a Vengence

2011-08-23T19:30:00.001-05:00

HhHoOoWwWLLLL ya'll been? I know it's been a while since I posted or added any new lyrics or music. Why so long you may ask? Simple answer is the distractions of life or as I call it: OPD = Other Peoples Drama. Spent a lot of time trying to make things work that just don't. Spent a lot of time getting ready for my bands 1st gig only to have it canceled, rescheduled & recanceled again. Spent a lot of time wasted on trying to help those who are bound and determined to drown in their own misery. Spent a TON of time trying to live up to the unrealistic expections of me by my day job and my three part-time jobs. At one point I found myself working almost 20 hours a day. But no more. I'm done with it all and now I am focused more than ever on what I was born to do ... to write, record, play & perform. Simple fact is we're born, we live, we die. That's it. As long as I live and breathe, I'm going to love, laugh, write and play.

So now that the distractions are gone I have been working every day on recording my parts for our band, The Scandal Hounds, first CD. We have twelve songs we are working on and they are coming along better than I had hoped. When I write a song, I hear a finished version in my head but so far what we have recorded far exceeds what I heard when I wrote these songs. It's going to be a CD you can enjoy from beginning to end. Each song is strong enough to stand alone as a single but we have worked hard on making the CD flow from one song to another. Each song is a mind bomb that is going to leave you craving for the next. So stay tuned my musical friends because the best is yet to come.

Be True, Stay Strong & Rock On,
- Wolfgang

Inspired by and dedicated to my amazing Bella.

- Lyrics -

All the weapons they can't stop
What I'm about to do
Coz nothing short of a miracle
Could keep me away from you
To feel your touch in the darkness
To see the light upon your skin
To hear you say those words
Come on let's do it again

Come & take my hand
Let's turn out all the lights
All the weapons in the world
Can't stop our love tonight

An army could stand before me
With weapons loaded to bare
But they don't stand a chance
To stop me from being there
To feel your touch in the darkness
To see the light upon your skin
To hear you say those words
Come on let's do it again

Come & take my hand
Let's turn out all the lights
All the weapons in the world
Can't stop our love tonight

No matter what they fire
To reign down on me
Cannot stop my desire
To have you here with me

All the weapons they can't stop
What I'm about to do
Coz nothing short of a miracle
Could keep me away from you

Come & take my hand
Let's turn out all the lights
All the weapons in the world
Can't stop our love tonight

#Blog | Notes from the Studio & Vote for Next Song

2011-05-17T16:38:00.001-05:00

Good news my fellow head food cravers, I have a new song coming out soon. Due to family commitments our band, The Scandal Hounds, will not be practicing for the next several weeks. This gives me some time to finish several demos that I am working on. The first song coming is “All the Weapons”. I have the drums, guitars & vocals recorded. I have been spoiled the past few months by Brian, the bass player in The Scandal Hounds, because he has been laying down such great bass lines on the songs I have written for the band. Now anything I come up with fails in comparison. Brian is going to help me out this week to see what he can come up with. This will be the first time I have worked on a song demo where I have not written & recorded everything by myself.

Once I finish the demo for “All the Weapons” I have several song demos that I have been working on to finish. My choices are a new song called “Gears of War”, “B-Move Love Song” (formally titled “Jezebel”), “Beautifully Inked” and a very interesting song I have been working on behind-the-scenes for months with a working title of “Cream Soda”. I was on a break at the studio enjoying a rum & cream soda when I came up with the idea, so hence the title.

“Cream Soda” is a mix of rock, industrial, hip-hop & pop. I know it sounds crazy but it works. So far it has seven different drums lines all in different styles that separate and weave together. A bass line done on a keyboard that was played through a wall of Marshall guitar amps with two different distortion pedals plus five different guitar parts all played through different guitars through as many different guitar amps that I could get my hands on. I like to do something different with each song and this one is completely different than anything else I have written. I still have to write lyrics & come up with a true title for this song.

I am calling upon all my fellow head food cravers to vote for which song I should work on for my next mind bomb. Your choices are:

“Gears of War”
“B-Movie Love Song”
“Beautifully Inked”
"Cream Soda” (Working Title)

All you need to do to vote is to reply to this post with your choice. So spread the word & let me know which song you want next.

#Lyrics | Song: "Decisions & Consequences

2011-04-20T22:10:00.001-05:00

Decisions and censequences
Leisurely she dispenses
More love upon my shoulder
For every year she grows older
Days flow into another
Winds kiss like my lover
Though she knows not to gain
Above it all, beyond the pain

Dreams come to be
In this imagined galaxy
A reason to be
A season to see
A king's conquer oh so idle
A heart beats very vital
For all I claim to see
Fabric for her mystery

Decisions and consequences
Breaking down all pretenses
Of what they thought to be
Too color blind to see
They take it all together
Bringing us stormy weather
For every shade of hate
To color their kill debate

Dreams come to be
In this caged histocracy
Unto a bitter reason
Filling the killing season
Guns shoot aloud
Piercing the peaceful crowd
A mother lays dead
Her son cradling her head
And I ask why
Why we say goodbye
To all that could be
Of peace, love and harmony

#Lyrics | Song: "One Horse Town"

2011-04-12T22:35:00.001-05:00

I heard the gun cry
As the shot rang out through the night
Say my love die
And everything I had built
Burned to the sky
I vow I will see the day
That you hang high
So onto you I can say

This one horse town
Is where I will take you down
This one horse town
Is where I will brake you down
This one horse town
Is where I will put you down
This one horse town
Is where your end meets with the ground

The fires do burn
As I bury my love in the ground
Oh so cold
Very much like that black found down
Deep in your soul
Hope the hang has tied his knot deep
In his rope
So onto you I can say

This one horse town
Is where I will take you down
This one horse town
Is where I will brake you down
This one horse town
Is where I will put you down
This one horse town
Is where you end meets with the ground

You think you can run
But you can't hide from what you've done
You've gotta a pay
I'll hunt you down everyday
Until it is done
There's no place for you to run
No place to hide
For I will not be denied

This one horse town
Is where I will take you down
This one horse town
Is where I will brake you down
This one horese town
Is where I will put you down
This one horse town
Is where you end meets with the ground

#Blog | And Then There Were Four

2011-04-05T20:35:00.001-05:00

Greetings my fellow head food cravers. Been a crazy past few weeks. But I shall spare the bordom of the details and get straight to the good stuff. Our band, The Scandal Hounds, has added a new member! We welcome into our ranks a truly gifted guitar player by the name of Mike O'Malley! Not only is Mike a great all-around guitar player but a great guitar teacher too. Check out his website at http://bluestoshred.com - lots of great stuff there for you fellow string pickers. We have only had a few band practices together but with Mike adding his style to ours we went from a damn good three piece band to a "Damn! did you hear that" kind of band. We sounded so good I found myself forgeting my lyrics because I was having too much fun listening to how we sounded when we played.

The even better good new is we have got all the pieces we need and are going to start recording soon and to be playing live soon as well. We have one full set of all orginal songs ready to go and are currently working on our second set of all orignal songs as well. Mike has brought us a song he wrote called "Without You" that we have added to our second set. Mike will be singing lead on the song with me doing some backs-ups. It is a great song and it will be nice to have a song where I can take a break on the vocals.

Stay tuned my fellow skull candy lovers because The Scandal Hounds are coming soon!

Be True, Stay Strong & Rock On,
- Wolfgang

#Lyrics | Song: "Push Comes to Shove"

2011-03-29T22:59:00.001-05:00

Bad boys running in the street
Giving hell to who ever they meet
Lost souls crying in the night
Finding thrills on the edge of the knife

Killers will kill and lovers will love
We'll see it through with no help from above
Lawyers will lie and judges will judge
It's a free world when push comes to shove

Long legs walking down the street
A wide snile for whoever she meets
Her bed is her business any day or night
Big dreams but she just lost sight

Killers will kill and lovers will love
We'll see it through with no help from above
Lawyers will lie and judges will judge
It's a free world when push comes to shove

It's a free world
When push comes to shove
It's a free world
When push comes to shove

Cold hands cover his feet
Searching wide for something to eat
Each night he prays the lord to keep
Front page covers his sleep

Killers will kill and lovers will love
We'll see it through with no help from above
Lawyers will lie and judges will judge
It's a free world when push comes to shove

#Lyrics | Song: "Pharmaceutical Crave"

2011-03-14T21:39:00.001-05:00

I'm calling your bluff
As you hold the cards
You can't get enough
And you love so bizarre
It's not that hard
But you build your walls
You push me away
And yet here you are

You can say what you want
You can call me what you will
You can call me terrible names
But you know that I'm your favorite pill

It's like you're still here
But you've gone away
I feel you so near
As your spirit strays
It's gone on for days
And I can't see clear
I'm lost in your maze
With no way to steer

You can say what you want
You can call me what you will
You can call me terrible names
But you know what I'm your favorite pill

#Lyrics | Song: "Called To Say"

2011-03-08T19:04:00.001-06:00

It was a Friday night
When she called to say
Wolfgang I need your touch
Tonight you gotta say
So she stayed on the phone
To lead me on my way
And I drove through the night
Just to hear my baby say

I just called to say
There's something that you should know
Can't stop thinking about you
You've been singing in my head all day

When I got there that night
She met me in the doorway
With a look of love
From her heart to her eyes
Then she took my hand
And led me up the stairway
With a kiss she closed the door
And held me close to say

I just called to say
Boy I think I love you
Can't take this anymore
Just be mine tonight and stay

I took off my coat
Laid it down like I was home
Then pulled her close to me
To taste her kiss like wine
But we needed more
We needed to be together
I told her how I feel
She said I love you too

I just called to say
I need to feel your touch
In a good and evil way
Share with me this rush
I just called to say
Come make love to me
Only you make me feel this way
So why don't we

#Lyrics | Song: "Lost In Wonder"

2011-03-06T22:45:00.001-06:00

She came on like a dream
Then she left like a thief
Got me hooked like morphine
No I can't get no relief

She's every girl I see
Under skin, just like thunder
And when she looks at me
I get lost in the wonder

She's back around again
Twisting up my life
I'm once bitten but not twice shy kitty
Just like the tumble'n dice

Some thing is there in her eyes
A spark and tast of hunger
Should I kiss or say my goodbyes
Or just get lost in the wonder

Life trips and turns so bizarre
Flashes front and back again
Still she know who you are
All your murder, sex & sin

She's not like any other
A beauty from back to cover
Kiss the witch or touch the lover
Either way I'm still lost to the wonder

#Lyrics | Song: "Always"

2011-03-01T21:48:00.001-06:00

No matter what you say
And no matter what you do
I will always be there
And I will always love you
You're the jewel in my life
Forever your my muse
You I'll ever be watchful
And you I would never abuse

No matter where you go
I will always be there
And no matter what you say now girl
I will always love you

What if you weren't here
What would I do
Ever I would be searching
For someone like you
There's no one to compare
With the beauty of you
And if you should falter
I'd give my soul for you

No matter where you go
I will always be there
And no matter what you say now girl
I will always love you

#Lyrics | New Song: "My Beautiful Evil"

2011-02-27T17:55:00.001-06:00

I remember lying next to you
How we came like one when we were two
I remember how I made you scream
I remember how you made me dream
All those stars I built for your eyes
All my walls you broke to compromise
All the times I believed when you lied
All my tears you ate when I cried

You're the angel of my nightmares
The queen of all my dreams
But no picture can put into words
How your evil makes me scream

I remember the taste of your skin
How you tasted like wine and sin
I recall the love of the rush
Whenever I felt your touch
How the world would fade away
When I let you in to have your way
How every time I tasted your kiss
Another lie I would forgive and forget

You're the angel of my nightmares
The queen of all my dreams
But no picture can put into words
How your evil makes me scream

I want to break and tear you apart
So I can mend both our broken hearts
Want you on your knees to beg and plead
For all the lies you told to you and me
Taste the pain so you can finally see
How you shine for both you and me
Taste the pain so you can finally see
How you shine for both you and me

You're the angel of my nightmares
The queen of all my dreams
But no picture can put into words
How your evil makes me scream

I want to tear you apart
I want to tear you apart

#Lyrics | Song: "(OMG) Mom, I'm an Alien"

2011-02-24T22:12:00.001-06:00

When I was so much younger
Younger than today
The kids looked to me to say
Why's your skin turn blue that way
I flew home that day
Dropped to my knees to pray
Why was I made
So differently this way

I've got fingers long like drumsticks
With an x-ray vision eye
But there's not much difference
Between you and I

Oh my God Mom I'm an alien
Oh my God Mom I'm an alien

I'm faster then any track star
Smarter than any man alive
And all this before
I even hit the age of five
Some say I'm the way of the future
Others say burn him alive
Though either or
I just can't sympathize

I'm just another kid
Going to school
Even though I stand
Just about twelve foot two

Oh my God Mom I'm an alien
Oh my God Mom I'm an alien

When other kids hit puberty
I grew scales and wings
And a big bushy tail
For me to do my thing
I used to fly all day
Breathe fire every night
Until my parents found out
And turned out all the lights

The walls stick to my fingers
My feet the ceiling like a floor
I'm all a fly could want
Even then some and more

Oh my God Mom I'm an alien
Oh my God Mom I'm an alien

Music fills the air
Candles glowing bright
Words become written
Thoughts they come and go
But these dreams of you
They forever stay
Wrapped within silver and gold

Let me inside
Deep in your heart
Show me your fear
So I can tear it apart

A story born to be
But for now left untold
Show me the way
Of how you think and feel
Come let me know
That I've met another
Who knows what is not
But knows what is real

Let me inside
Deep in your heart
Show me your fear
So I can tear it apart

2011-02-20T16:33:00.001-06:00

There's a crazy thing
And it's name is love
Coz everytime I see you
It's all I'm thinking of
And how I'd love to taste
And touch your skin
But will you be the one
To save me or do me in

Love me for a lifetime
Or love me for tonight
Give me your heart and kiss
Be my Aphrodite tonight

I find myself lost
Deep within your arms
Coz I've been captivated
By your kiss and charms
If I had only known
What you'd do to me
Still I couldn't have run
From this ectasy

Love me for a lifetime
Or love me for tonight
Give me your heart and kiss
Be my Aphrodite tonight

I'm at your mercy
When I look in your eyes
Will you bring me back
Or will you be my demise
These are the thoughts
That my heart sings
But they don't compare
To the love you bring

Love me for a lifetime
Or love me for tonight
Give me your heart and kiss
Be my Aphrodite tonight
