Strong Enough To Burn (video)

I just made a simple, contemplative music video. It's just a ride up the Hudson, but can be a lyrics video if you turn on the Closed Caption.

This song is on the 2018 album, Down, available at Bandcamp, iTunes, YouTube Music, Amazon, Spotify, etc.

Strong enough to burn
Sun in my eye
Rain was cool 
Wind was warma
If I could take you away, beyond
A window, a door ajar, goodbye
Bricks are courser when your path is bare
You come to know the gaps
Grass or mortar
Bones in sand traps
The breeze that turns the leaves  
Bends the stem
Worms the robins had at dawn 
Rain ran straight through sunset
If I could take you away, beyond 
The window’s ajar my dear, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye...

Billy talks about the latest book by Timothy Zahn.
Time for Thrash to face his future.
Time for Vader to face his past.

That's Your Mama (video)

I spent some time in the country, and made this causal video. Don't mess with Mother Nature.

This song is on the 2018 album, Down, available at CDBaby, iTunes, YouTube Music, Amazon, Spotify, etc.

That's Your Mama
Words and music by Billy Dechand © 2018 Bucktooth Music (ASCAP)

There's always someone round to take you down 
Always someone smaller to help the tall fall 
Whether it's rain or stars
The cool unsmooths your plume
The rest is jest
Mother nature mocks her flock
But she owns it
That crack in your back as you fall from a tree?
That's your mama
The feeling in your gut when you're in love, or drink too much? 
That's your mama
The wind in your hair as you cross the tarmac? 
That's your mama
When you smell a flower, get a nosebleed, Erupt from a mountain fire?
That's your mama
Don't mess with Mother Nature
That's your mama
