Let's go for a walk Doggo Doggo Let's go for a walk Doggo Walk-o Let's go for a ride Doggo Doggo Let's go for a ride Doggo Ride-o Put on my shoes it's time to freak out Run in circles or lie on your back Bite the leash or chase your tail Stick you face in a grumpy cat It's time to go you don't even know Where the hell we're heading to Fly out the door freak out some more Doggo walk just for you Let's go to the park Doggo Doggo Let's go to the park Doggo Park-o Let's go play with dogs Doggo Doggo Let's go play with dogs Doggo Playtime Wrestle with any dog you find Bite their legs and jump around And when you're pinned on the ground You make a Chewbacca sound Run around in giant circles Herd everyone at the park Here comes more dogs what we do? Time to sniff time to bark Doggo Doggo Doggo Doggo Anytime I make some food You're always right at my feet You don't even care what is You know it's just something to eat A pathetic look and a line of drool You know who's a big ol' fool You're not aware you're not starving to death Doggo treat just for you Let's go eat some food Doggo Doggo Let's go eat some food Doggo Food-o Let's go take a nap Doggo Doggo Let's go take a nap Doggo Nap-o Doggo Doggo Doggo Doggo Let's go to the couch and watch t.v. Let's go to the couch lay your head on my feet It's time to sleep Let's go to the couch and watch t.v. Let's go to the couch lay your head on my feet It's time to sleep

lyrics

There was a world so far away That came upon it's dying day The end was known by those who called it home Super Nova fabulous Turned their planet into dust And sent them off to search the stars and roam They're searching for a new world all their own Sailing on a mental wave With the beast was his enclave Their loyalty to him will never end On a path of stars they came The earth was still a ball of flame They traveled through both time and space alone They made this infant planet their new home The ancient king was satisfied With this newfound paradise He ruled this lovely planet with rage and fire Cyclopean cities with towers Within their walls kept hidden powers And sank below the seas and now they sleep Chaos was the food they ate A feast to dine on bitter hate As they sleep the feast goes on today With the king the enclave's dreaming No one knows that they are feeding Psychic waves barrage our brains Searching for our hates and pains Grudge and grievance spite and hate Makes no difference tastes the same All the things that make a war There's no limit they want more When this world was first created They arrived and then mutated Changing into monstrous creatures Writhing maws and formless features Now they sleep beneath the ocean Feeding on our worst emotions Frozen stasis they are dreaming No one knows what they're scheming

about

This is my first solo project after 20+ years of making records with all of the various bands I've had the pleasure of playing with. It took 10 years to make it, but now it's finally here! A lot has happened in the last decade, but I still found the time to work on it whenever I could. A major event that occurred during this time was the passing of my father in 2013. He was a talented musician who helped get me on my musical path at an early age. His magnificent Bobero classical guitar was passed on to me and I had the honor of playing it on this album. It's featured on 3 tracks- 'Gymnopedie No. 1,' 'Mode Blue,' and 'Bobero.' This record was made with the help of some fine musicians- Matt Krueger on drums (wherever heard), Rin Ribble on violin ('Bobero'), and my brother Nate Hess on electric mandolin ('Ba Ba Boom'). The rest of the instruments- guitars, basses, keys, piano, saxophones, percussion (except the tabla on 'Bobero', which was actually a Drum Kat played by Matt) were played by me. I sang everything with Matt and Nate joining me on backing vocals on 'Ba Ba Boom.' Everything was recorded either at my studio (Wavelength Productions) or my house (Home Base). The front room of my house has really nice acoustics and is a surprisingly nice place to record. In fact, the piano on 'Mode Blue' is at my house. Everything was mixed and mastered at the studio.
