In Their Eyes The Day came when I got this feeling Move out, forget about life for a while Those double-white lines were calling Get out on the road, forget about life for awhile Oh I got the fever Oh I got to go Oh the feeling carries It’s in my eyes It’s in my eyes The man in black was standing on the road Hitching a ride from here to there he said By the time we reached Dallas he was crying And belly-aching that he wished that he was dead Oh it got so heavy Oh as he stepped out on the road Told him not to take it oh so hard, yeah It’s in our eyes It’s in our lives Oh my eyes were opened Oh I could see it clear What I was looking for I left behind me It’s in my eyes
6.	ROUGH EDGES 04:19	lyrics	buy track
Rough Edges Words and music by Joel Pirard and George Barker Before you leave and you walk out that door There’s s few things that I’ve got to say I really loved you and that’s no lie It’s no crime and it is no shame If you wanna leave me Better say you’re ready There's ’ a few things that you really ought to know It’s a big city and it would be a pity For you to learn that that you have to crawl before you walk What would you have to say to me? When you see the hard way, that it’s hard to be free? I know your mind is made up And you need to go now Just remember that it’s so hard to show Time to get ready time to be steady Just remember that you reap what you sow Life is a knife edge, take it from me One way or another, it will be what it will be Live on your rough edge, and you will see It’s so twisted and hard to be free..

10.	IT'S BETTER LEFT UNSAID 04:46	lyrics	buy track
It’s better left unsaid So you think you can fly to the ends of the earth, reaching out to the sky, to the lands of my birth. You’re just grabbing at the air and your old worn-out dreams. You cannot deny, life is not what it seems. Though you build up your walls, they’re just castles in the sand, And the rest is better, better left unsaid. Oh you’ve got what it takes, to decide your fate, if you only begin before its’ too late. So show us your stuff, what you’re really made of, and don’t try to act cool, ‘cause you’re nobody’s fool. If you don’t make it right, you’ll be all alone tonight, and the rest is better left unsaid. (instrumental break) So the thing you should do is to tell the truth. Its’ the one thing you’ve got so go on, give it a shot. If you’re true to yourself you will feel more alive. So get up on your feet, this ain’t no free ride, and the rest is better left unsaid This lonely refrain won’t cause anyone pain, and we won’t have to say, it was better, better left unsaid, better left unsaid.

WHO WILL KNOW THE WAY? NO WHERE THAT YOU GO CAN BE SAFER THAN INSIDE OUTSIDE OF YOUR WILDERNESS THERE WALKS A LONELY CHILD WHO'S LOST WHO IS THE ONE INSIDE OF US THAT CRIES TO BE WITHOUT OF US IF WE KEEP IT LOCKED INSIDE AND NEVER CROSS THE GREAT DIVIDE BETWEEN OUR PAST AND PRESENT SELVES WILL WE KNOW WHAT WE WERE THEN? WHO CAN SAY? WHO WILL SHOW THE WAY? NO WHERE IS IT WRITTEN DOWN YOU CANNOT BE TURNING ROUND NOTHING THAT YOU DO IS CAST IN STONE

about

Years ago I was in a band with my friend George Barker. We were sort of a cross between Southern Rock and Americana with a bit of Peter Frampton thrown in.
All I had for decades was ONE boom box rehearsal tape.
We called ourselves TOMBSTONE. GEORGE BARKER on lead vocals and guitar, JOEL PIRARD on lead vocals and keyboards, RAY LEHNER on bass,
adn MIKE GELBKE on drums. Later Ray left and SCOTT PITTMAN joined up on bass.

The band broke up, as happens. Subsequently I found out on social media that George had died in 2000. George was an amazing guitarist and songwriter.
Ray was a killer in the pocket bassist. Mike was a great drummer who could lock in tight and in the groove.

Scott died in 2020. He was only in the band a short time but was stellar.
All of these guys brought out the best in me.

So here it is a collection of modern recordings and their origins, together.
2 noteable exceptions are Mind Games, and No More Goodbyes which got their start here as well as the legacy version of It's in Their Eyes.
I have adapted the stuff we wrote together. Some are simple, some are a bit more intense. Many speak to simple love and broken hearts.
Not sure who will care but IMO they need to see the light of day.

about

SEVEN SOURCES New York

SEVEN SOURCES is Joel Pirard.. but also a lot more:
I have been in quite a few bands,. I learned to write songs and compositions with them, each with their own styles and nuances. I put some of these out with them and more out under an umbrella I call SEVEN SOURCES, which is me with occasional guests, now with additional collections of legacy material and new recordings of some of it! Enjoy! ... more
