                           "I Really Miss You"


                                                                      by: Edward Walker   (1975)
"Now that you've gone, how can I go on? Feeling so alone everyday,
wishing you'd come home again. It would be nice to see you my old friend
I'm so alone. I really miss you, I really love you, I really need you, so hurry home
we have so many dreams to share talking of time when and where, talking of love
when and where, but living so far away
(instrumental break)

It's just so hard to bare, cause I really care, I'm so damn alone!
I really miss you I really Love you I really need you so hurry home, I really miss you now, I really love---vveeeevve you, I really need you, I really missssssss you, I really missssssss you, I really misss you...Please understand, I wanna be your man!"

           1978 @ Limestone High School Stage

 

           Jeff Kessel co-wrote this song with me!

 

 

  

 "Little Ones" was written in 1984 in Silver Spring, Maryland, while I served in the U.S. Navy in Washington, D.C. It was written for keyboard on a Roland Juno 106 Syntheziser. I asked Jeff Kessel to listen to the melody and come up with words for a song about my children, and because I asked Jeff to write the lyrics, the song would be about his future children as well, as then, he had not yet met Donna, his future wife. He came up with the following words;
"Go to sleep, don't wake till morn; Dream all night, so safe and warm, lay your head and close your eyes; everythings alright, no need to cry"; hearing this, I wrote the bridge/chorus "Little Ones, I love you, Little Ones I care, Daddy will always be there". This recording was made in Oak Harbor, Washington, on Whidbey Island, located in the San Juan islands, about 2 hours North of Seattle. I used a Yamaha keyboard, a Yamaha drum machine, a Sur microphone, and a electronic reverb box from Radio Shack for effect on the vocals, which came about pretty decent. I hope you enjoy it. The song has great potential, if I can say so myself.
Mahalo,

(Still Love You)

"Still Love You" was written in 1978, summer of 1978 on a old, beat-up piano(upright type). The keys were barely playable, but was mostly tuned correctly. The recording above was made in Whidbey Island, Washington state, in April, 1995, after a couple of takes. The vocals really are a scratch vocal and the keyboard with inserted electronic drumming was added first, with overdubbing of strings; the song was recorded utilizing a TASCAM 4track mini-studio with keyboard directly plugged into the source.
"Still Love You"
(words & music by Edward J. Walker, Jr.)
"Remember me? I'm a friend..not long ago, do you remember when?
When all our love, made us one. A promise of hope, for we had just begun.
Then it came; the rain; it washed us away, then the pain, the pain of losing you
The pain of losing you...where has our love gone, where did you go? Do you remember me?
I guess you don't though. So, I wander on through the days, I looked for you, but you forgot me too.
Once so strong, a love gone wrong, oh why do I still love you, still love you, to this day, I still love you.
Said I love you with all of my heart, with all of my life, I still love you, still love you, I still love.....(fade....)

"THE MOMENT"
                                                                by: Edward J. Walker, Jr.

"Lady when you're loving me, I feel so fancy free. Holding my hand until the end of an everlasting time.
Let's this be the moment girl, for you and me, the future looks bright, take a chance and see, and the moment, the moment is now.....(repeat twice and instrumentally fade..)"

"THE MOMENT"  was written in 1983 in Silver Spring, MD. and this recording was made in San Diego, Ca., in 1990, just before leaving for a deployment which would turn into Operation Desert Shield due to the invasion of Kuwait by Iraq. The equipment used is an electric "Kramer" guitar, a Pignose amplifier, a Casio keyboard, Yamaha drum machine and Sur microphone for vocal. Hope you like it!

The recording here is interesting , in that the guitar and drums were recorded in 1990 in San Diego, Ca., then the vocals and lead guitar were added in 1995 in Washington State, and finally, mixed down in 1996 and, well here it is. It is uptempo as far as the songs I write go. Hope you enjoy!
