Hi, folks:

Here’s a new collaboration with John Vaughan, who penned the original lyrics. We played with them a bit thereafter and here’s where we ended up, word and sound-wise. I hope it’s worth the listen.

Stay safe and stay well, all!

Here’s the song:

LIES AND RUMORS

Here are the lyrics:

If you’re handing out a sentence
Can I add a few words
What will be my penance 
For the lies that you have heard
Not to touch your lips
To feel your kiss
To share your bed
All for his whispers in your head
 
Among the lies and rumors
There’s a strand of truth
In that tangled web
My innocence and proof
Among the lies and rumors 
Cruel flames of love burn free
Sparked by someone’s jealousy

He’s tried to win you over
With his artful deceit
Have you crying on his shoulder
And falling at his feet
How you believe a word
Of what you’ve heard
I can’t decide
But it makes me feel so dead inside

And I know he lies so well
But I thought you knew more about me
And they say that time will tell
But, love, how you could ever doubt me

And here’s the band:
