Just a taste, just a taste, just a taste,
Of soul
When we all started
Back in 2008
Our covers flowed
And the music was great
Then some got greedy
And I changed my mind
A new band started
And we can’t look behind
We have a plan
And we’ve set our goal
And now we present to you
A brand new Taste of Soul
A new beginning
A fresh new atmosphere
It took a while
But damn I’m glad we’re here
We all play a part
Yes we have our role
So let me give you
A Taste of Soul
To have our band
And make our way a little brighter
We play for people
Makes the toll a little lighter
Let’s work together
And put out our sound
Then you’ll see
They’ll all start comin’ ‘round
A change in focus
Our road is right and clear
It took a while
But damn I know we’re here
We all play a part
Yes we have our role
So now we give to you
A taste of soul
(Chorus)

Good Lovin'
04:28
|
|||
Hello, it’s nice to meet ya
Tell me what’s your name
I’d like to get to know you better
I think we’re both the same
How often can I see ya
I think we’d get very far
Don’t do what other guys do
Don’t think that I am star
(Bridge)
Can’t make up your mind
I sure understand
‘Cause we don’t wanna make a big mistake
Once you decide
Let me take your hand
On a wonderful road we will take
Good lovin’s somethin’ we all need
We all deserve what we want
And get what we need
Good lovin’s what we hope to achieve
I have your
Good lovin’, good lovin’
Now that we’re both together
Let’s make a plan to stay
In love, now and forever
So no one can take my place
As our lives grow it’s clever
To make a pact to see
How well we’ve handled the weather
Between you and me
(Bridge)
You’ve made up your mind
We both understand
And neither one of us have regrets
‘Cause we’ve relied on each other
Not people in sand
The most important one thing we have best
Good lovin’s somethin’ we all need
We all deserve what we want
And get what we need
Good lovin’s what we hope to achieve
I have your
Good lovin’, good lovin’

I Thought Of You
02:30
|
|||
My soul was sinking
In quickening sand
Until you reached down
And gave me your hand
Now my load is lighter
And I’m on my way
And you put a smile
On your baby’s face
Cuz, I thought of you
Thought of you today,
The rush just hit me right away
Yea, I thought of you
Thought of you today,
Can’t wait to see my baby’s face
Cuz I thought of you today
My day was peaceful
Tonight I’m not hanging with the boys
Just wanna come home
To hear my baby’s voice
When I get there
I’m sooo excited
Love is there for me
I’m so delighted, yeah
Cuz, I’m there with you and I
Thought of you today,
The rush just hit me right away
Yea, I thought of you
Thought of you today,
Can’t wait to see my baby’s face
Cuz I thought of you today

Autumn Gold
03:11
|
|||
Under a canopy of crimson
I walked in search of you
Sifting through our conversations you
Slowly came into view
As barren trees
Have lost their autumn colors
I see a form of what I know is true
Rays of filtered sunlight
Warmed the winding avenue
On the path we strode together
Hand and hand we walked and talked
Of love anew
As I stepped into love with you
Mem’ries of gold, now etched in crimson
You’ve wondered off, so far from view
Such twisted turns so unexpected of
The man I once thought I knew
As barren trees
Have lost their autumn colors
I see a form of what I know is true
All the leaves have fallen down
Revealing true shapes I’d never seen
Decaying leaves hide, a well worn path
That separates you…
You from me…..

Sometimes
04:00
|
|||
Sometimes, time stands still… in a crowded room
When I see that sparklin’ gleam in your eyes
Sometimes, I gently press in when you’re sleepin’
And I just have to smile an’ si‐igh
Sometimes, I hear that old familiar tone in your voice
And I remember why I cry‐y
When we’re walkin side by side at twilight
I love it when your warm hand finds mine, sometimes
Ooooh, when we lay so close together
My body trembles, so‐ometimes
Sometimes, when I hear that old familiar tone
I just, remember why I cry sometimes
We have to smile sometimes,
We have to cry sometimes,
We have to hear it sometimes,
Why can’t it be good
All the time
We have to smile sometimes,
We have to cry sometimes,
We have to hear it sometimes,
Let’s make it good for
All our times
Sometimes, when we talk, of how we live this life‐‐
Our hearts n’ thoughts don’t meet on.. the‐same‐li‐ine… …
Sometimes, when‐weee turn oh so cra‐zay
The dreams we once shared‐ (now) so hard to find… …
Sometimes, I hear that old familiar tone in your voice
And I‐‐I fear I’m‐forev’r‐gonna‐lose‐my‐mind, sometimes…

Good For Your Heart
03:31
|
|||
(Spoken)
You know a lot people have a lot of things
Things they do,
It’s not good for the soul,
It’s not good for their minds
But this one,
This is good for your girl,
It’s good for your heart
I can love you like you wanna be loved
I can make you shiver from the slightest touch
And you can feel good in the morning when you rise
I’m good for your heart, a love fit for size
I wanna hold you and say everything’s ok
When you need me love, help is on the way
Whenever we’re away, whenever we’re apart
It’s good your soul, it’s good for your heart
We can do whatever you like
Let’s seize the moment; let’s make love tonight
Whatever you feel girl it’s for real
My heart can’t stop racing; it can’t be still
And I’m…
Good for your heart, the love I have is strong and true
Good for your heart, I can love you through and through
Good for your heart, I know it’s something we both can feel
Good for your heart, it’s for real
When I’m alone with you, nothing seems to matter
A simple drop of your love, turns into a splatter
And when we kiss girl, our passion doesn’t fade
‘Cause I’m still reeling from the love we just made
Just let me hold you and never let you go
Continue to love me girl and our love will flow
I’ll explore your body in every single way
Just want to feel you, let me fingers play
We can do whatever you like
Let’s seize the moment; let’s make love tonight
Whatever you feel girl it’s for real
My heart can’t stop racing; it can’t be still
And I’m…
Good for your heart, the love I have is strong and true
Good for your heart, I can love you through and through
Good for your heart, I know it’s something we both can feel
Good for your heart, it’s for real

Love Will Find You
03:43
|
|||
I regret the moment that I heard you say
That love was written for you in snow
I want you to realize right now, today
That your love makes others grow
You may think that I’m dreamin’
That it makes no sense
But this is what I’m feelin’
There’s no false pretense
It was written a long time, a long time before
Thoughts of you ever came true
It’s time you realize, before you close that door
That loves gonna find you
Love will find you, you don’t have to look, you don’t have to look
Love will find you, you don’t have to look, you don’t have to look
People say that love’s an elusive thing
Equating what they see others have
You don’t have to convince yourself
You don’t have to follow, reach or grab
You may say I don’t know you
And this may be true
But one thing I do know girl
Is that all your grey skies are blue
It was written long a time, a long time before
Thoughts of you ever came true
It’s time you realize, before you close that door
That loves gonna find you
Love will find you, you don’t have to look, you don’t have to look
Love will find you, you don’t have to look, you don’t have to look
‘Cause it’s always been there
In your heart

What Is It Worth To You?
05:51
|
|||
My love, my love
Baby it’s here for you
My love, my love
What are you gonna do
My love, my love
Baby it’s true to you
My love, my love
What is it worth to you?
Oooh, oooh
What is it worth to you, yeah hey
Oooh, oooh
My love, my love
What is it worth you?
Tell me what kind of man
Can go out and cheat himself
Feeling all lonely
When he has someone there
She sits at home
And she never wanders out
She says…they’re all phony
And don’t know what she’s about
They live their lives
Bundled up from the world
Never taking the time for love
Instead they watch it unfurl
Now comes the time
When you think of what you’d do
The value of your love
What is it worth to you?
They lost themselves and one another,
Along life’s way
And though it’s really hard to admit ityeah
They’re livin’ that old cliché’
(Chorus)
My love, my love
Baby it’s here for you
My love, my love
What are you gonna do
My love, my love
Baby it’s true to you
My love, my love
What is it worth to you?
They live in a nice house
On the better side of town,
It took a lifetime to pursue.
It’s filled with kids and plenty
Of stuff to go around,
But times together are but few.
Little by little the walls keep building up.
Misunderstandings get their due.
Livin’ as strangers, they’ve both
Have had enough
Oh, Paradise has lost its hue.
They lost themselves and one another,
Along life’s way, yeah
And though it’s really hard to admit ityeah
They’re livin’ that old cliché’
(Rap)
When times are hard
And patience’s low
You don’t know
Which way to go
The stresses of your life
Make you wanna forget
You’re married and have a wife
But that’s no way to be
With a wife & kids
No time to live
Selfishly
With love we started out
And that’s the way it’ll end
‘Cuz yeah they mean a lot my friend
And you’ll never have to ask
Are you sad, happy?
Do you think this love will last
What are you gonna do?
Or the other question
What is it worth to you?
They lost themselves and one another,
Along life’s way, yeah
And though it’s really hard to admit ityeah
They’re livin’ that old cliché’
(Chorus)
My love, my love
Baby it’s here for you
My love, my love
What are you gonna do
My love, my love
Baby it’s true to you
My love, my love
What is it worth to you?

Ooo, ooo, ooo

You don’t have to run
You don’t have to hide
Aaah yeah, baby
It’s a new start
Aaah, yeah, let me tell ya’

And you told me that he left you
All alone
With no reason to go
I knew at that moment
I had to take you by the hand
And show you,
That my love can flow
Open your heart
(It’s time for love)
Get ready to start
(We’re making love)
Touching you gently
(Caressing ya’)
You have my heart
(At your control)

To a love that has no end
Ooh…we’ll stay in love forever
‘Cuz I’m your lover
and your friend
Oooh, wooo
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Baby yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
No more sitting around
Worried and wondering
Am I loved?
It’s too plain to see
My love for you girl
Goes forever babe
A lifetime, an eternity
I just want you to
Open your heart
(It’s time for love)
Get ready to start
(We’re making love)
Touching you gently
(Caressing ya’)
You have my heart
(At your control)
(Spoken)
Let’s sit down and talk a little bit
No more worries, no more pain
No sitting at home alone
That’s all gone,
You’re with me now
Now you have the luxury
To take some time, take a load off of your mind
You know, don’t worry about a thing
A gotcha babe
All I want you to do is….
Oooh I…wanna show you a beginning
To a love that has no end
Ooh…we’ll stay in love forever
‘Cuz I’m your lover
and your friend

(Adlib the opening by Brian)
Oooh, just livin’ the life
right now, hey
Aaaah, just livin’ the life
Livin’ the life, right now
Aaaah, just livin’ the life
Livin’ the life, right now
Look how far we’ve come,
just livin’ the life right now
When you’re on the road
You feel alone,
Hanging with the crew
When you’d rather be at home
When it’s time to close the day
It’s hard to find
A better way to say
What’s on your mind
We’ve worked so hard to get
To where we are
High above the clouds
To be a star
No more 9 to 5
With bosses on your back
Just family and my friends
Now that’s truly in fact,
That’s why we’re….
(Chorus)
Aaaah, just livin’ the life
Livin’ the life, right now
Aaaah, just livin’ the life
Livin’ the life, right now
Look how far we’ve come,
just livin’ the life right now
When we sing our tunes
To fill you up
The dancin’ and the groove
Gives us a rush
Feelin’ the high
Singing ‘bout our lives
The pounding of the drum
The flashing of the lights
We get to meet all
Of our friends and our fans
As we travel ‘cross the globe
To distant lands
All the fancy things
Not who we are
Just feeling the dream
Flowing, through our hearts
Sing chorus to outro after solos
