Last to Speak by Allen Stone
Our generation’s “What’s Goin On?” Allen Stone closed his Seattle show with just him and his guitar doing this song. Listen closely… (warning: one well-placed f-bomb). This is what great songwriting is all about. And doesn’t hurt that he’s ridiculously talented.
“When God made you, he cussed for the first time. He turned to an angel, gave him a high five and said “God damn, I’m good.” You were that beautiful.”
“Pull me close to you and tell me that you love me. Then scratch your future into my back so that I can be everything that you live for. I promise that I will die for you daily and then resurrect in your screams.”
Whacha Gonna Do (with Olympic Sound Collective)
Had the pleasure of recording and performing live with OSC in 2007 and finally produced a version I really liked - so I hope you do too. Just can’t beat the sound of the soul keyboard (Hammond B3 - classic). And even harder to find someone that can lay it down like Delvon did on this track.
Delvon Dumas - Keyboards
Mike Saskor - Electric Guigar
Charlie Workman - Drums
Scotty - Bass
Lyrics
Bout 4 o’clock in the morning
Still up cause you caught me on fire
Got your smell on my clothes
And I’m ‘bout to explode
Ain’t never enough get by
Ooh you give me such a good feeling
Fill me with your natural high
Your body’s soaking wet
Giving more than you get
Making love till your well is run dry
CHORUS
Let me hear you say ooh-ahh
Then tell me what you’re gonna do
Say ooh-ahh whacha gonna do
Can I get a little amen
And let me feel your love again
Say ooh-ahh what you gonna do
V2 – The very next day
You made my world stop turning
Tell me to stay
Say I should take my time
Slowly get you undressed
Until you finally confess
You say, “I can’t get you out of mind”
Ooh we’ll put it on this evening
Loving till we lose control
I can’t escape my desire
Your love is taking me higher
From my head to the depths of my soul
CHORUS
BRIDGE
It’s not the little things you do
It’s all about the way you move
You look me up I take you down
We feel the room go round and round
Once more the spell is taking hold
We better do just what we’re told
I know we both can’t take much more
So tell me what we’re waiting for
CHORUS
Can you love me in the morning
Can you love me in the evening
We’ll make love all thru the weekend
Whacha gonna do
Let me love you tell it’s alright
Can we keep it going all night
Let’s burn it up until we ignite
Whacha gonna do
From the early morning
Til the break of dawn
What we gonna do
Just can’t be wrong
Whacha gonna do
Whacha gonna do
Better do just what we’re told
Never Know
(home studio production: Mike Saskor | electric guitar, Jon Day | vocals/bass)
Seems like it’s over before it began
And that’s a crying shame
I knew right then, that you were the one
Didn’t even know your name
Just like the first time
When you’re falling in love
Felt so damn good, like a hand to a glove
Minutes turned to hours - hours to days
I was prepared to love you
In so many ways
CHORUS
Until Oh - well there you go
Searching for answers that you’ll never know
And ooh, it hurts so bad
Cause you’re the best damn woman
That I never had
V2 - There was a moment
In the middle of the night
When you held my hand
I played it cool
Didn’t let you know your touch
Was more than I could stand
Until the last time
When you told me goodbye
I can still see the tears welling in your eyes
I spent too many hours and so many days
For you to, just turn around
And slowly walk away
CHORUS
BRIDGE
You know you did it
Why can’t you just admit it
You were so afraid
One day you hit it
Next day you quit it
All the plans we made
You try to tell me I’m wrong
But it’s the same damn song
Gave you too much of me
And for far too long
So please just say goodbye
To all your painful lies
My love will never be your alibi
CHORUS (2x’s)
No Words (home studio production)
I never thought I’d say this
But I think I might be falling
Won’t even try to fight it
Cause your body just keeps calling
My name - I know
You’re telling me you’re ready to go
CHORUS
And I just can’t explain
How I feel when I’m with you
Cause there are no words
That give meaning to what you do
But then there are times
When my love comes shining through
Met by the moments
When you say you love me too
V2 -
Everytime I think I know
You find a way to keep me guessing
But there ain’t nothing wrong
I’d gladly take another lesson
In love - tonight
Won’t stop until you tell me it’s right
CHORUS
BRIDGE
And I-I need you to know
Whenever you need me
I’m ready to go
No words can ever say it
And i just can’t contain it
I love you more
Than you’ll ever know
CHORUS
Met by the moments (repeat)
