about

Having watched the devastating Japanese tsunami swallow a whole village with 30 foot waves carrying cars and boats and buildings, and wondering if the survivors felt more curse than blessing, I wrote this on a Sunday morning in one setting and then wrote "Late Bloomin" that afternoon. A most productive day with the Muse.

Don’t Recommend It
By Cy B. 7-24-11

Having watched the devastating Japanese tsunami swallow a whole village with 30 foot waves carrying cars and boats and buildings, and wondering if the survivors felt more curse than blessing, I wrote this on a Sunday morning in one setting and then wrote "Late Bloomin" that afternoon. A most productive day with the Muse.

************************************************************************

Chorus
Cause I Don’t Understand it
I Just can’t comprehend it
Sure don’t recommend it
For Anybody Else

Just When You Think You Understand
How to Live by God’s Command
And to Prosper in Peace and Harmony
He Sends a Hurricane Your Way
A Tornado, Flood or Quake
Then Washes Away Your Life with Tragedy

-Chorus-
No I Don’t Understand it
I Just can’t comprehend it
And I sure don’t recommend it
For Anybody Else

Why Are There Leaders That Oppress
And People That Confess
That They Only Want the Things that Should Not Be
While They Torture, Maim and Kill
With a Sadistic Evil Thrill
That Washes Away Your Life With Tragedy

-Chorus-
Cause I Don’t Understand it
I Just can’t comprehend it
And I sure don’t recommend it
For Anybody Else

How Could You Live Your Life So Well
In Fear of God and Hell
With Every Effort to Protect Your Family
Then Watch as Cancer Come Along and Take Your Loved Ones
Weak and Strong
Then Wash Away Your Life With Tragedy

-Chorus-
Cause I Don’t Understand it
I Just can’t comprehend it
And I sure don’t recommend it
For Anybody Else

Now the Good Book tells us True
All the things that we can do
To comfort us in times of Tragedy
But it’s not ours to question why
Only just to do and die And Have
Faith that there is life eternally

----Bridge----

Cause You won’t understand it
And You just can’t comprehend it
And You sure won’t recommend it
To anybody else

-Chorus-
No I Don’t Understand it
I Just can’t comprehend it
And I sure don’t recommend it
For Anybody Else
----Repeat---
----Repeat--- (crescendo)

Thomas J. Hudson Bend, Oregon

I started writing songs at 60 with a pen name, "Cy B." that follows me now like a shadow. I have produced two Cd's that I have sung though I did so for posterity and a chance to demo my songs hoping that a real singer will drool at the chance.
Please feel free to drool. ... more
