The Joy Of Existence

by High Magic

supported by
MindOverFour
MindOverFour thumbnail
MindOverFour Beautiful and sparse psychedelic Americana. Think David Eugene Edwards and Wovenhand/16HP. Makes me think of frozen windswept plains of the Midwest, but somehow its from Arkansas. Great job Nate! Favorite track: Mayflower Ave..

michael byars Big rock sound with overtures of psychedelia, and one of the most passionate and urgent vocalists making music today. Favorite track: Mayflower Ave..

Melancholy Girl (free) 03:53
Melancholy Girl © 2013 Wade Ogle My melancholy baby, my melancholy girl She gave away her secret prayer To save a lonesome world She is a drunken soul She plays the long lost chord Jesus wept for many men But he ain't weepin' no more My melancholy baby, my melancholy girl Dark is the night And hard goes the road It's never been the sweetest song Just the only one she's known My melancholy baby, She cut the ball and chain she burned the past with lightning And soothed the wound with rain Waves of fear Will cripple your every move You think that you could love her But she's only passing through My melancholy baby, My melancholy girl (I remember when we were younger)

Mayflower Ave. ©2013 Wade Ogle As the parade moved down Mayflower Ave. I heard the church bells cry six times My thoughts drifted to summer’s end And whether I’d ever see your face again A new moon was a comin’ on And another new day is now dead and gone My mind drifted to another time When love was easy and your heart was mine I walked out on to the frozen lake I fell to my knees and I began to pray Oh Dear God, the trouble we can make When we tell ourselves it’s never too late When you fall down to the west You will know who has loved you best Oh Dear God, the trouble we can make We tell ourselves it’s never too late When I fall down to the west I will know who has loved me best

God's Fools 03:41
God's Fools © 2013 Wade Ogle I awoke to find that I had nearly died Wandering in the wilderness alone And I prayed to the saints as you held my trembling hands And saved me from my own death again And I heard the song of the doubter and the judger Singing “Hey boy, why don’t you stay down? Well my dear old friends, I won’t forget your kind words I swear I won’t forget you in the end It’s late but I called and no one was at home Tending to God’s fools takes time There’s Mary & Joe and a billion more below Take your number and get in line With the wind to the west, and I have nothing left I'll fall to my knees and I'll pray one last time For my soul I was told, although it was long ago To protect it, I’ll bury it in a dream Well it’s late but I called and no one was at home Tending to God’s fools takes time There’s Mary & Joe and a billion more below Take your number and get in line

Devils Knock 04:03
Devils Knock Upon My Door © 2013 Wade Ogle Over and over again I sink deep into my sin I keep on drowning And I feel like dying Over and over again Devils knock upon my door They bring the truth and nothing more They stand before me, naked and lonely Devils knock upon my door Fear cripples my every move You don’t like me and I don’t like you I reach out slowly and pull back quickly Fear cripples my every move I kept a secret from you I will never reveal the truth I keep it hidden and I drink it like poison I kept secret from you

Down Every Pathway © 2013 Wade Ogle You are the sunset That bruises the sky I am the lightning Burning down the other side Lost along the shoreline We drift out to sea I’m not afraid my love Are you afraid of me? Down every pathway Seek and you will find If you've hidden poison In your soul or in your mind All I wanted Was a taste of the joy All you needed Was something to destroy I feel alone Far away from home I dream of love Come to me my love
