Two creative friends a writer and a musician - find themselves perfectly paired to inspire one another during the long hot days of an Arizona summer. Words squeezed from souls parched by the desert sun, raw and sometimes bitter like the juice of a lemon, turned sweet by the notes that will accompany them...come enjoy some refreshing Lyrical Lemondade.

I've Been To This Place Before



When close relationships are not what you wish they would be. When love turns to pain and anger replaces admiration, your world becomes darkness where there is no place to escape this feeling that overcomes mind body and soul. When a loved one abuses drugs or a marriage is suffering from outside intrusions and confusion is the most familiar feeling of all, it becomes once again the place that you most want to leave, the opposite of peace and the place where security and love do not reside.


I've been to this place before
I didn't like it then and I don't like it now
Where the anger rages
Animals are in their cages
There are falling rocks
Burning trees
Doors with locks
No blowing breeze
People live and die alone
People that blame cast the first stone
The lake is dry
Birds can't fly
Flowers don't bloom

There is no room to be free
Peace is far away
That's a mirage you see
Berries are poison
Air is thick
Just one breath And you are sick
I've been to this place before
I didn't like it then and I don't like it now

  1. Very impactful...I really like it...it is storytelling at its best-- tells a personal story that so many can relate to.
