song: better than before




Better Than Before   (Judi Madigan/Doug Smith)

Em                  G                 Em        A7       Em      G       Em   A7
You said you donā€™t ever want to fall in love again
It hurts too much when people run and relationships end
And weā€™ve been dancing around these feelings we canā€™t deny
And if youā€™re feeling them, too come on letā€™s not be shy

C7                                       B7                      Em          A7      Em    A7
And if you want me to share what I believe is true
I think that I might be ā€” falling in love with you

Em                  G                 Em        A7       Em      G       Em   A7
We talk on the phone for hours every night
Itā€™s not the end of the day until you say good night
We havenā€™t laughed this hard since we canā€™t remember when
I think itā€™s time to admit that weā€™re much more than friends

C7                                       B7                      Em          A7      Em    A7 
Thereā€™s no one else Iā€™d rather pour my heart out to
I think that I might be - falling in love with you

Bridge:
F#                   G                                           Em          G    Em   A7
Everybody makes mistakes and weā€™ll make a few
But this is no mistake I canā€™t get enough of you


C7                                       B7                      Em          G         Em    A7 
So letā€™s connect and see how good this could be
Iā€™m really hoping that you ā€” are falling in love with me

You say that the steel walls have a chink in them
the crack is small but people run and relationships still end
the dance is working its magic with feelings that can't deceive
you know youā€™re feeling it too and you want to share what you believe

C7                                       B7                      Em          G         Em    A7
So letā€™s connect and discover how great it can be
you think that you might be ā€” falling in love with me

F#                   G                                           Em          G    Em   A7
Everybody makes mistakes in the things they do,
But this is no mistake you say that you need me, too

No-one else you'd rather talk with endlessly
Now you think that you might be falling in love with me

C7                                     B7                                   Em            G    Em   A7
The years fly by and who knows what this has in store

Weā€™re falling back in love and itā€™s better than before

Attention Paid to the Spiritual Side

 Attention Paid to the Spiritual Side -- collage by douglas brent smith I think I've used some of these images in other collages.  That happens, sometimes. The context changes the meaning and justifies the redundancy. Or, at least I think it does. I gave some thought to coloring this collage and decided against it. Maybe later, with time on my hands, I'll decide to color it. Probably not though because that process takes many hours and there is so much new work to do. This piece is from 1994. I was a completely differently person then and so were you (presuming that you were even alive then!) We're changing every day.  What color do you think that floor is? -- dbs -- 

Behind the Secret Door

 Behind the Secret Door (#2) Behind the Secret Door (#1) Notes: I think (hope) that #2 (the one above) is an improvement over #1 (which is the exact same picture except that in #2 I added some lines, drew over a few more, and shaded one area. 

You Can Be Positive

instant breakfast dreams

scrambled dreams    scattered schemes    ideas flashed on the mezzanine    the balcony's crowded with narrow scenes    colorful dreaming liquid sleep        poached eggs dreams    wet and fried    homage to the dreams that died    rules that flutter    into melted butter    dreams design    their own red line    fried dreams my dreams    your dreams ours    evening slips and then devours    sheets around us    lights dimmed black    shadowed visions    on our backs    your dream is my dream is our dream complete.
