NEW Track-7 "Strange Way" from the upcoming "Reflect" CD, Lou's 3rd release and the last of the song collection trilogy due out officially July 1st, 2013.
I wrote two verses for this song. However, once I began recording the opening chorus, and played it back; I decided enough said, and dropped all of the verses. It brought to memory a line I recall from the movie "Forrest Gump" where-as whenever Forrest was telling a story about something that upset him, he would close with "Well that's all I have to say about that."
Thank you for listening to NEW Music!

Strange Way
You've got a strange way
of showing you love me
You've got a strange way
of showing you care

NEW Track-6 "Eightball" from the upcoming "Reflect" CD, Lou's 3rd release and the last of the song collection trilogy due out officially July 1st, 2013.
During rehabilitation, shortly after my motorcycle accident; a surgeon used the term 'behind the eight-ball,' to describe my medical situation. The term stuck in my mind and became a mantra for me to fight my way back to good health. At which time I purchased an eight ball cane to learn to walk again, as I had been told it would be unlikely.
Thank you for listening to NEW music!

EightBall
Eight ball in the corner pocket
It’s time to sink and lock it
You’ve got no place to hide
You’ve got no place to hide
Behind the eight ball
You can’t deny, you can’t deny
Your space, behind the eight ball
Eight ball in the corner pocket
It’s time to sink and lock it
There are no lies, there are no lies
No phony lines Behind the eight ball
You’re still in charge, you’re still in charge
Of your life, behind the eight ball
It’s time to say goodbye, it’s time to say goodbye
and sink, that eight ball
Eight ball in the corner pocket
It’s time to sink and lock it

Story by Lou Mars
Red So Grey is a song that tells a story about a lady who is always depressed. Hence, she sees the world only in hues of grey. That is until she meets Ted, who is simply the opposite and perhaps a bit pollyanish. Ted is introduced to her land of grey, but resists and instead saves the lady from going deeper into the dark by taking her into his world.
I hope you enjoy the song as much as I enjoyed writing, performing and recording it.
Thank you for listening to NEW music!

NEW Song Track-5 "Red So Grey" From The Upcoming "Reflect" CD
Step to the front, get in the back.
Step to the front, get in the back.
“Red, red,” is all he said.
“It's in my heart, and in my head.
I'm from the land of make believe.
It's time for you to come with me.”
And just then her heart grew warm.
She felt a smile, her frown was gone.
Her skin grew light, began to glow.
Now she lives in the land of hope.
