My Little Yellow Room by Abraham Cloud
This is definitely a song for writers. While you are out enjoying a wholesome life of bike rides, sunshine and ice cream, the Writer is cramped in a little yellow room, trying to finish his masterpiece. Or maybe he's just working on an article, a poem or some ramblings about the day. The writer is alone, needing the peace of solitude to concentrate attention. And writing is pain. Self-inflicted personal torture. Usually for no visible reward. The reward for good writing is a satisfaction far beyond typical rewards. The feeling of completion, when the pieces fall together, is akin to joining with an infinite universe in a crazy cosmic meditation. Like the missing link has been found and connected. That blissful glowing light comes on, and you have added to the culture of mankind. Perhaps you've written something that will change lives long after you have left the planet. You have planted your flag on forever. Sacrificed , but for good reason.
While you fantasize
or get caught up in a lie
while you're tying knots
or connecting up the dots
while you're fast asleep
and when you're on the street
As your buying food
And when you're in the mood
I'll be here
in my little yellow room
writing songs and stories about you
mailing them away to Washington
when I die
the memory lives on
while you're reading books
or worried about your looks
memorized by clouds or drunk and talking loud
when you're too afraid
to keep the date you made
or walk across the lawn
to see your neighbor John
I'll be here
in my little yellow room
writing songs
and stories about you
mailing them
away to Washington
when I die
the memory lives on
I'll be here in my little yellow room writing songs and stories about you mailing them away to Washington so when I die the memory lives on
Listen carefully
and you will hear the sea
chuckling at me
about priorities
No one can disturb
The perfect growing herb
Its climbing up the wall
And stretching
Down the hall
It's pushing me to be
A piece of history
Give yourself
To something larger
And you will fall
Much farther faster
If I rest
I'll never get there
Time is running out
Fuel is burning out
The song is so close now
It's knocking on the door
I'll be here
in my little yellow room writing songs and stories about you
mailing them away to Washington
when I die
when I die
when I die the memory lives on
I'll be here
in my little yellow room writing songs and stories about you mailing them away to Washington
so when I die
when I die
when I die
the memory lives on

IT WI
it-will-do-what-it-wants-(lyric-video)
Here's a lyric video for another psychological thriller by Abraham Cloud, "It Will Do What It Wants." This could be called alt country. Probably the most country Abe song ever. It's off the newest CD, "Raised in Apartments." The question is what is "IT ?" It will do what it wants but is it the Government, a girlfriend or maybe the Mafia. Is it a giant unseen hand of evil that moves humans like pawns on a chess board or is it the eternal spark of nature , the essential life force?
What does seem to be woven into the song's story is that there are forces far beyond the control of the average chump thats placing his racetrack bets for him. And how should Joe SixPack respond to the Jolly Green Giant rearranging his life ?
Let's take a closer look at the lyrics to possibly find some answers,
You can try and change it
Make it go your way
Perfume shower and
Shave it
But the simple
Truth remains
It will do what it wants
It will do what it wants
You can try to pay it
Own it for a day
You'll finally be
In the driver's seat
As you watch it drive away
It will do what it wants
It will do what it wants
You are only some furniture
In a random house it haunts
IT WILL DO WHAT IT WANTS.
You can try and scare it
With some weapons
That you bought
But soon you'll find
It's occupied your mind
And is controlling all your
Thoughts
It will do what it wants
It will do what it wants
It will run down the
Hallways screaming
Obscenities in French
It will drink all your
Best champagne
And pass out on a bench
You can lock it
In a storage closet
To make yourself
Feel safe
But if will only
Get smarter and stronger
And eventually
Escape
It will do what it wants
It will do what it wants
In your dreams you hold it
And it loves you
For a while
Almost like a honeymoon
Till you feel that evil smile
Knowing
It will do what it wants
It will do what it wants.

NORMA
norma-mccall
"The guitar riff for Norma is like an international party anthem". This definitley should have been the theme for "Hot Tub Time Machine" . The celebrity co-conspirators remain nameless but director Randy Morgan does a great job at re-creating a "Love Shack" vibe in this light hearted romp. Do yourself a favor and pick up the CD, "The Cruelty of Gravity" for hours of retro-ecstacy, Supermodel Vanessa M lends herself to this incredible 80's romp."Norma McCall" is available now on itunes http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?i=293404881&id=293404875&s=143441 Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Norma-Mc-Call/dp/B001JV56JE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=dmusic&qid=1249040266&sr=8-1 .

ANYTI
anytime-you-walk-into-the-room
That feeling you feel when you don't wanna feel it. That crush, or that passion that can not be expressed. That burning torch. That quest for the exact right moment when it all comes together. Or waiting for that gap in the order of things when you can step out of regimented life and pursue that dream. That's what this song is about and I think it is captured here . Some amazingly subtle guitar work by a true master Michael Packard. Using a borrowed guitar and a leftover amp Mike was able to squeeze out some of the loneliest and most beautiful playing ever. Another local legend Robert Treman lays down a mesmerizing bass and the master of restraint and finesse on the drums , LA's Lee Walters brings the whole thing to life. This song appears on "Another Successful Breakfast" courtesy of another great LA musician , David Steinhart (Furious Seasons) who put it out on his label Stonegarden Records.

ONE S
one-step-away-(hd-lyrics)-by-abraham
Off the classic first CD this is quite possibly the catchiest of all Abraham Cloud songs. Heavy Bowie influence is making the vibe dark , elusive and dance hall. This song is Young Hollywood and lost 80's rockers looking for the ideals of a Beatles Summer of Love in a decadent 80's disco. Cool video by Cloud-Fan Mindkiller featuring lots of smokin' hot ladies one step away from a newd irection, .
This is for you, where ever you are
Standing in long lines or sleeping in cars
"Cause you have the answer I'm waiting for
You have the new life, that's what I live for
Been driving forever to get where you are
There is no street sign to take me that far
So I'll stand here singing and hope that you hear
A piece of my heart or one special word
and I know just how you feel
wanting only love that's real
Talking to mirrors
One Step Of The Way
Imprisoned by fears
One Step Of The Way
One Step Away From A New Direction
Here in the night life, here by myself
I should be happy, I know better than that
'Cause these desperate people who lurk in the dark
Can't even remember that innocent spark
and I know just how you feel
wanting only love that's real
and you can't take anything less
Talking to mirrors
One Step Of The Way
Imprisoned by fears
One Step Of The Way
One Step Away From A New Direction

CIGAR
cigarette-bar
We've all been there , some of us have lived there , that cozy little neighborhood bar where you could just unwind, relax and drink the night away, A place where you could sing along with the jukebox, get way too drunk to walk, embarrass yourself repeatedly and just keep coming back for more. For Abraham Cloud this was the Cigarette Bar. A place of escape , adventure , re-birth and the re-telling of glory day stories.
There's fifty-one reasons why you can't do what you want
You counted 'em up one day when your T.V. fell apart
While your picture of peace was laying' in pieces on the floor
You wondered what you're really living for
The walls are crusted with the remnants of the night
You feel on edge, like something' somewhere wants to fight
When silence burns a whole in who you think you are
You go down to the Cigarette Bar
You step so lightly as you stumble in the room
Nobody notices you;re still in bloom
When you think you have an answer
But you drive an unmarked car
you sit down at the Cigarette Bar
down at the Cigarette Bar
All the regulars are regularly late
In perfect unison they sip their bourbon straight
Don't wanna' be one but you find it very hard
To get up and leave the Cigarette Bar
You drink to poverty and the wretched mess you're in
You laugh at jokes that wouldn't normally raise a grin
You drink and laugh until you don't know where you are
That's a good time at the Cigarette Bar
down at the Cigarette Bar
down at the cigarette Bar
(wife's part) Oh, I wonder where he could be
I toss and turn endlessly
I pray to God," Keep him safe
While wandering away."
down at the Cigarette Bar
down at the Cigarette Bar
You match your cigarette and you draw a little pain
You eye her over like a bowling pin
The warts are fading and the swamplands out of sight
Still you're walking home alone tonight
You step so lightly as you stumble in your room
Don't wanna' wake her 'cause alarm rings soon
Its instant-karma when the room begins to spin
She always seems to know where you've been
light another cigarette and don't forget your medicine down at the Cigarette Bar
This dark and smokey video by Alex conjures up a bohemian paradise.
There's Tom Waits on the piano, and wait Humphrey Bogart by the door, is that Sinatra sipping Manhattans , and look at Leonard Cohen passed out on the floor Bukowski is scribbling something , and Kerouac is just waking up.
But it Lou Reed taking the longest drags on that heavenly cancer stick.

GOTTA
gotta-get-out-by-abraham-cloud
One of those weird songs from "Cruelty" CD. Sounds really underground and Lo Fi. Thanks to the D WIz for the video. Reminds me a little of "Run For Your Life" from Rubber Soul or maybe a little Alex Chilton. What do you think ?

MAYBE
maybe-i-could-run-by-abraham-cloud
This is a really old song of mine I decided to redo for the "Daydreams" Cd. Oddly enough the message still seemed as fresh as the day I wrote it. I'm still involved in the constant struggle to thrive, survive, prosper and create. Mostly the balance is impossible. You have to focus and to make it these days you have to constantly change your focus. Focus on making money until the rent is paid and then focus on recording a new song until the rent is due again.. Everything is right within reach and yet still passing so quick you can't grab it. Maybe I could run.
Check out the entire new CD on Youtube, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LbQnVfQNCQY&list=PLGqCGGqu89iRptey3TkRyh4Vz0Frfty9J
