FOLLOW SILVER SUNS
DON’T CRY, DON’T WORRY (DRY YOUR TEARS)
DON’T FEAR, DON’T HURRY (TAKE YOUR TIME)
RELAX, IT’S ALL TOO EASY (NOTHING TO SEE HERE)
NO FACTS, JUST LIES AND SHAME (LIES AND SHAME)
SO THE BOY LOOKED OUT THE WINDOW (HOPING TO SEE THE LIGHT)
HOPING TO ENJOY THE VIEW (HOPING TO KNOW WHAT WAS RIGHT)
NEVER KNOWING WHAT WAS RAINING (RAINING DOWN THE LIES OF HATE)
WONDER IF HE KNEW THE TRUTH (DID HE KNOW ANYTHING AT ALL?)
DON’T GO, DON’T LEAVE IT (DON’T LEAVE IT THIS WAY)
WE MUST BELIEVE IT (WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE IN ANYWAY)
WE MUST KEEP ON KEEPING ON (WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN?)
‘CAUSE WITHOUT THAT WE ARE TRULY GONE
WE MUST FOLLOW SILVER SUNS, WE MUST HOPE AND BE AS ONE
LOVE SUPREME IS WHAT WE NEED
WHAT IS CLEAR, TO SOW THE SEEDS OF CHANGE
CONFUSION IS A STATE OF MIND, AN EMBLEM OF THE DIVIDING LINE
THE WALL OF SEPARATION
IT MUST COME DOWN (IT MUST COME DOWN)
FOR US TO OPEN UP OUR HEARTS ( FOR US TO OPEN UP OUR SOULS)
WE MUST FOLLOW SILVER SUNS, WE MUST HOPE AND BE AS ONE

ONE TIME TOO MANY
MUSIC AND WORDS BY JOEL PIRARD
"THE SEASONS CHANGE AND SO DID I
I'M NOT WHO I ONCE WAS."
WITH THESE WORDS SHE WOULD TURN AWAY
WITH THESE TIMES I LEARNED TO LEAVE HER
WITH MY TEARS I FELT THE SUN TURN TO SHADE
AS A LIGHT WENT OUT INSIDE
"DON'T BREAK MY HEART, SHE ALWAYS SAID TO ME,
I CAN'T HELP THINKING WHAT I'S DO"
YET SHE'S THE ONE WHO TURNED AND WALKED AWAY
ONE TIME TOO MANY FOR ME
WITH HER EYES SHE COULD OFTEN TELL THE TALE
WITHOUT WORDS I COULD READ HER
BUT HER LIES I SOON FOUND OUT WERE THERE
THOUGH I WOULD NEVER HAVE BELIEVED IT
NOW THE TABLES ARE TURNED
I'TS YOUR TURN TOO GET BURNED
NO WAY I'M GOING TO BE SILENT
I WILL BE THE ONE TO WALK AWAY

THE WATCHER

THE WATCHER
He is the watcher he sees all you do.
You are the doers, the ones with the truth.
You have the answers, he just observes.
You are the ones that truth has to serve.
I am the one who has lifted the song to your heart.
You are the ones who have made it feel right, from the start.
(Instrumental break)
Call out the tune as it comes from your soul.
It will release, it will make you feel whole.
Nothing contains you again, no fences to mend.
(instrumental break)
If you go outwards, watch as you go.
Release your passions and run with the flow.
Nothing to stop you, freedom to love,
all that the watcher, wants you to have.
You are the ones who have sung out the song.
You sang of the future, and it made you strong.
Sing it out clearly as it comes to the light.
Voices sincerely, rise in the night.
(instrumental break)
I am the one who has lifted the song to your heart.
You are the ones who have made it feel right, from the start,
From the start, from the start, from the start, from the start, from the start…..
(end theme)

TALK (ALL YOU EVER DO)
09:05
|

TALK TALK TALK
Part one
RATMAN, BATMAN NO SURPRISE COMIC BOOK HEROES TELLING US LIES
SUSPENSION IN A TOWAWAY ZONE THE LUSTY SIGHTS LEAD TO HOME
LEAVE ALL THE GARBAGE IN THE STREETS, LIE TO EVERYONE THEY MEET
EVERYMAN LOOKS AT SOMEONE ELSE, THEY TRY TO UNDO THE REST
WHERE WILL THE PRESSURE GO, DOES ANYBODY KNOW?
SUBJECT MATTER FOR THE DAY, NEEDLESS FEAR OF TURNING GRAY AGE NOT IN FASHION, ANYWAY
THE TRACKING OF OUR WISHING DAYS, NOTHING TO SAY BUT IT’S OK
ALTHOUGH JOHN SAID IT FIRST NO ONE CARED, ANYWAY
SILENT SCREAMS IN OVERLOAD TURNING OUT THE LIGHTS, WHEN YOU GO
YOU FEEL A DEEP RUMBLE FROM UNDER THE GROUND.
SERENADERS IN THE DARK, MUGGERS, MUGGING IN CENTRAL PARK
PACKING A PIECE TO IMPRESS THEIR FRIENDS UNTILL IT’S FOR REAL WILL IT EVER END
WHO’S TO BLAME FOR THE FORTUNATE SONS? THE DAUGHTERS? THE MOTHERS? THE CATHOLIC SCHOOL NUNS?
TELL ME HOW IS IT REAL, HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO FEEL?
STREETWISE PUNKS WITH SPIKES UP HAIR, WANDER DAYLIGHT NIGHT LIFE FAIR
WE MUST ACHIEVE IT COME WHAT MAY, IT’S A MASTER ACHIEVEMENT TO LAST ONE MORE DAY
Part 2
TALK TALK TALK ALL YOU EVER DO IS TALK TALK TALK ALL YOU EVER DO IS TALK TALK TALK
THE CLUTTER OF YOUR WORDS THAT WE HEAR AS YOU SPEAK IS LOST AND MEANINGLESS TO ALL
YOUR THOUGHTS AS YOU ATTEMPT TO MAKE SOME SENSE OF WHAT’S AROUND YOU IS SO HARD TO FIGURE OUT AS IF YOU’RE NOT THERE ARE YOU AWARE?
WILL YOU BACK UP YOUR WORDS ? WILL YOU AGREE TO PAY THE PRICE? WILL YOU CONTINUE YOUR WAYS WHEN YOU DON’T KNOW THE MEANING OF SACRIFICE
TALK TALK TALK ALL YOU EVER DO IS TALK TALK TALK ALL YOU EVER DO IS TALK TALK TALK TALK
THEY TRY TO TELL YOU THAT IT’S OVER BUT ITS GONE FOR FAR TOO LONG. IT’S SO CRAZY TO EXPECT THEM ALL TO CHANGE
THE WORDS ARE ABOUT YOU AND ME YOU KNOW AND THEN THEY START AGAIN. WILL OUR CHILDREN SUFFER CONDEMNING US ?
FORGIVENESS IS EARNED NOT A FUEL TO BE BURNED AT THE EXPENSE OF THE ONES WE LOVE. MOTIVATION IS SO EASY MANIPULATION OF THE MIND, NOT TO LINE YOUR POCKETS WITH THE BLOOD OF THE MINDS OF THOSE SO BOLD, TO THINK
NO DON’T WANT TO HEAR IT I DON’T WANT TO SEE YOU ANYMORE
AS LONG AS YOU CONTINUE TO LIE ABOUT THE SCORE
MOTIVATION IS SO EASY, RESTITUTION OF THE MIND, IT’S THE ONLY WAY THAT’S KIND
BUT ALL YOU EVER DO IS TALK, ALL YOU EVER DO IS TALK…

SAIL ON, SILVERBIRD
05:18

Sail on Silverbird
Sailing on and endless soaring flight.
Laughing in the face of awesome might.
Calling in the name of those held dear.
Fighting against all the things we fear.
There's nothing in the world to prevent it,
There's nothing in the world to compare.
No way to see it coming,
that feeling that you feel, when you are free to fly.
Flying like an eagle on its’ way.
Crying in freedom for today.
Seeing all the sights seen from on high.
Being one of those that learned to fly, in the sky.
Silverbird, will you take me with you,
take me on your wing?
Silverbird, will you take me with you,
to that silent spring?
On a wing and a prayer, take me if you dare.
Take me to that silent spring, on your wings!

Common Visions (a message of hope)
Copyright 2017 Joel Pirard
Verse 1
ONE TIME, THE STORY, WAS TOLD TO ME AGAIN
ONE TIME THE MEANING, WAS SAID FOR ME TO SEND
REALIZING, THE BALANCE, OF TIME IS OFTEN SEEN
CONFIDING, CONTAINED IN, EVENTS OR IN A DREAM
Chorus 1
WE, CAN BELIEVE THE FEELINGS COMING
WE, CAN RETRIEVE THE BLESSINGS FORTH
WE, CAN OBTAIN AN UNDERSTANDING
WE, CAN REFRAIN FROM ALL THE HATE
Verse 2
ONE MEANING, AN EMBLEM, A BADGE OF LOVE RESTORED
ONE GLORY, OF COURAGE, TO LOVE IS OUR REWARD
TRUE CALLING, ASSURANCE, WE CAN’T DO THIS ALONE
FORTHCOMING, ASSISTANCE, WILL DRIVE US TO OUR HOMES
Chorus 2
WE, CAN REJECT THE EVIL YEARNING
WE, CAN ASCEND ABOVE THE FRAY
WE, CAN EXIST IN COMMON VISIONS
WE, WILL RETURN TO WIN THE DAY
Verse 3
TAKE, TAKE, TAKE A BREATH AND FIND YOUR ANSWERS IN THE RIDDLE
GO, GO, AND FIND THE TALE OF MEANING IN THE SKY
FIND, FIND A SOARING EAGLE DESTINED TO RETRIEVE THE GESTURE
Chorus 3
WITH A METAPHOR OF FEELING ALL AROUND
WITH A METAPHOR OF LOVING IN THE SOUND
WITH A CLARITY OF FREEDOM IN OUR HEADS
WITH AN ANSWER FOR US ALL, WITH AN ANSWER FOR US ALL
WITH AN ANSWER FOR US ALL, WITH AN ANSWER FOR US ALL
Spoken word repeats Verse 3 and Chorus 3
Repeat Verse 1 and repeat Chorus 2

PLEASE BELIEVE ME

PLEASE BELIEVE ME
Does this feeling seem so different
Do you see the story’s end
Will the compass steer you clearly
To a letter you must send?
Does the answer seem to tell you
What it is you need to know
Does your course of time allow you
To renew your former role?
Somewhere in the sands of time, there is a great reward
Sometimes we are sailing fine, and then we run aground
If we strive to forge ahead, we sometimes come around
To see another point of view,
If we strive to forge ahead, we sometimes come around
to speak our love aloud
Sometimes, when we feel the need, we try to compromise
Sometimes if we plant a seed, we come to realize
Nothing lasts forever, nothing stays the same
If we had all to do, would we do it all again?
Does this feeling seem so different
Do you see the story’s end
Will the compass steer you clearly
To a letter you must send?
Please believe me , when I tell you, how I wish we could again,
Find a reason, fortune fellow, spend together, years ahead

AT THE TIME OF EASE – JOEL PIRARD
SINGING TO THE SUN, SINGING TO THE RAIN
CALLING EVERYONE, TO THE START OF THE GAME
SEE THE RITE OF SPRING, FEEL THE SETTING BREEZE
FEELING EVERYTHING, AT THE TIME OF EASE
RISING THE HEIGHT OF THE CALLING REFRAIN
TO THE PINNACLE AND CRAWLING BACK TO THE PLAIN
SEEING BELIEVING RESTARTING THE VENTURE
MYSTICAL RAINDROPS THAT FALL WITH THE RAIN
TURNS OUR SOULS
DO WE VENTURE ON THE PATH, OF NEW DECISIONS?
DO WE START TO SEE THE MISSION AS A TALE?
CAN WE OFTEN LAY THE START OUT TO THE SEASON?
IS THE PATH LAID OUT TO SET THE SONG?
BE LOVING, BE A LEADER, BE ONE TO SHOW THE WAY!
BE HAPPY, BE THE REASON, TO BE THE ONE THEY SAY!
HARVESTING THE LOVE, SIFTING THROUGH THE GRAIN
AS THE LIGHT DOES SHINE, IN THE LASTING DAY
START THE HIGHER LINE, AS THE GIFTS OF TIME
ALL OF THE ABOVE, NEVER GOES AWAY
DO IT NOW!

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!
