A folk rocker about a Midwesterner's yearning to return to the Rocky Mountains where the skiing and lifestyle is far better. Track #2 on the 2022 Scott Cooley Records label studio album release "Bluebird Days II" by solo artist Scott Cooley.

A carpe diem folk rocker with bongos about reflecting on the fleeting fragility of life and concluding that it’s best to make the most of it while living in the moment and realizing that what matters most is spending it with the one you love. Track #5 from the Scott Cooley studio album "Lockdown Leftovers" released in 2022 on Scott Cooley Records.

More of a 90s style acoustic alternative indie rocker, this mid-tempo tune covers the difficult subject of addiction, how it affects a relationship by putting strain on it, and how it must ultimately involve gearing up for abstinence by admitting the issue. Track #12 from the "Lockdown Leftovers" album released in 2022 on Scott Cooley Records.

A sea shanty featuring accordion with an old-timey feel about sailors returning from sea and the women who love them. Track #13 from the "Bluebird Days II" studio album by Scott Cooley released in 2022 on the Scott Cooley Records label, featuring phenomenal accordion playing by Lenore Cooley who made a guest appearance.

An up-tempo tune about an office worker fantasizing about skiing in the powder snow he sees coming down outside his window with unplugged guitar riffs and a solo that together mimic the adrenaline rush.

A somewhat sarcastic look from the outside in at the lifestyles of the rich and famous, in the form of a mento ballad with uke, marimba solo that conveys the having a lot of money does not always lead to happiness.

A really happy-sounding, mid-tempo Hawaiian-ish rocker w/ marimba solo that slides its way to delivering a totally pessimistic yet blatantly realistic outlook on the future with its contrasting lyrical message.

A unique phenomenon experienced by those from the Flint Michigan area who know it well and by a single word, delivered with an old-timey feel.

A tale of the plight of America's environment since the arrival of Europeans, inspired by a 70s anti-pollution TV commercial w/ a Native American vibe.

From the 2012 album, Cherchez La Femme. Written on a scrap of notebook paper from back in the early 90s when I used to frequent various restaurant/bars that featured 10-cent wing specials on certain nights, and groups of guys would show up together and sort of compete with each other for quantity and speed before reaching for the mug of beer. Good times. Kind of a macho thing, but chicks who would also partake were "hot" for doing so. The fact that you could get a natural "high" of sorts from spicy pepper sauce on food was somewhat a novelty to people at the time, and the choices were few-Tabasco or Franks, before this became a popular thing. This was way before the whole concept took off popularity-wise and you saw a majority of such establishments offer these or entire specialty chains like Hooters and Buffalo Wild Wings. It was a new thing to me at the time, and somehow in your early 20s and bar-hopping days, it seemed like a pretty cool experience to have.

From the 2010 album Sense Of Belonging, Find My Way Back Home is a song about a lost guy in a strange land who is far away from home and missing his true love. Although he can't help keeping her in his thoughts, which motivated him to start a return, it is those same thoughts that help him stay focused during the hardships of his travel back. You don't know what you have 'till it's gone, and sometimes realization of love can be an afterthought, but even with the knowledge it may not be returned, it can help one to get through tough times. Again, as an afterthought, the traveler might realize that upon arrival at the destination it was home and family after all that was the most important thing being sought. We've all been there in some way or another.

From the 2008 Scott Cooley album, Drive Time Companion. A little country-ish or country-tinged, but not overtly, so it might be Americana? Willing to welcome a past love back into your life, acknowledging it was wrong to break up, but not ruling out the possibility of reunion, questioning whether she was the one who got away or whether it was never meant to be, or whether or not she is thinking the same way about you as you are about her.

from the 2004 album Moon Dreams. This one is just a fun jam - a toe-tapper. It might even be danceable. Makes you want to move around all wild and crazy-like when you hear it. It was super difficult to play though because it has guitar-unfriendly chords that are hand-killers. This is one of the few re-records I've released - a cleaner and higher quality recording than the original. I have no idea what it's about though. Seriously, I don't remember at all. Derive your own meaning and enjoy.
