“… sonic textures, wry narratives, catchy hooks and songs that draw you in. Chasing the Moon is an unlikely but successful meeting of a singer-songwriter with one foot in roots rock and the other in electronic production.” – Pete Feenstra, Get Ready to Rock (United Kingdom)

“Many of the songs can best be described as dream pop. This is certainly true of the title track which is more like listening to a poem than a song…. there’s a sense of timeless wonder….” – Bill Harriman, Sound Waves.

Combining Paul’s love of story songs with his rich production style, this collection is acoustic-based, yet sumptuous with electronic soundscapes. A lush feast for the ears.

I Will Carry You + -
(by Paul Guzzone & Mike Greenly) I know that life isn’t fair And you’ve got too much on your shoulders And baby, I really care It hurts to see you this way Always remember That you’ve got me And I’ll be there for you Yes, I will carry you, when your legs are weary I will lift you up when the water’s high I will hold you close when the wind is howling When the road is long, I will carry you home So now you know that I’m here And I am right there in your corner I will always be near Nothing could keep me away No it doesn’t matter Where or when Cause, baby, I’ll be there And I will carry you, when your legs are weary I will lift you up when the water’s high I will hold you close when the wind is howling When the road is long, I will carry you home Don’t be surprised when you realize I am always by your side I will carry you, when your legs are weary I will lift you up when the water’s high I will hold you close when the wind is howling When the road is long, I will carry you home Always remember baby You are not alone, no I’m always, I’m always there with you When the water’s high when the wind is wild and howlin’ I’m there with you Oh yeah darlin’ I will carry you home I will carry you yeah Ooooh… I will carry you home. © 2011 Paul A.

The Simple Things + -
(by Paul Guzzone) Sometimes all that you need are the simple things The simple things Can bring us together The simple things Can make you feel better The simple things Sometimes all that you need are The simple things The simple things In everything that you do The simple things Can touch you and move you The simple things Oh, your world is all right when you have The simple things A walk in the country Or holding your baby Singin’ “Stoned Soul Picnic” In the summer time Cookin’ up fun in the kitchen Or lazy day fishin’ Or dancin’ in the moonlight with the fireflies Don’t you ever want to stroll down the beach, Pick an apple that is just out of reach, Write a letter by hand to a friend in your hometown, You’re gonna feel alright when you get down to The simple things Bring people together The simple things Can make your life better The simple things Sometimes all that you need are The simple things Some days get so complicated Over heated, saturated More is more We try and try But never seem to be satisfied Lost all control Then I went off the track Gotta re-boot, reset Gotta get back to The simple things That bring people together The simple things Oh, that make you life better The simple things Sometimes all that you need are The simple things ‘Cause your world is all right, oh, don’t ya know When you’ve got The simple things Oh, the simple things The simple things © 2011 Paul Guzzone (BMI) All rights controlled & administered by Triple Z, Inc.
Chasing the Moon + -
(by Paul Guzzone) I need the night like a tree needs light from the sun And water from the sky Like skin to breathe and blood to flow And eyes sometimes they need to cry I live for the dark to come and surround me And lift me from this space To carry me in indigo arms To another time, another place I know you want to come with me I can see it in your face But it’s not easy letting go Don’t stop to think don’t hesitate We can run from the fools, run from the sorrow Run from the day to day We can run with the blues, run with the beat We can even run with the wolves Chasing the moon Imagine us flying together lost among the stars Magical colors, impossible beauty, Venus and Mars We’ll circle ‘round the skyline and tag the city lights Hitch a ride on a comet play catch with a satellite Chasing the moon I don’t want no other lover, no Every one could disappear I just want you and with me forever Two souls in the night Together in flight Chasing the moon Out on the horizon the sky is turning red The sun is coming up now I must take you back to your bed When you wake up should you think of me Should you wonder what to do On the other side of midnight I’ll be waiting there for you Chasing the moon © 2011 Paul Guzzone (BMI) All rights controlled & administered by Triple Z, Inc.
Everything Happens For A Reason + -
(by Paul Guzzone & Mike Greenly) There are days when all the news gets sadder by the hour Times so bad I have to wonder where is the Higher Power When desperate people walk the streets with no place else to go And drought and heat and hurricanes wash over all we know But no matter what comes our way I need to believe I’ve got to believe that Everything happens for a reason Whether we understand it or not And if everything happens for a reason Whether we want to face it or not Then there must be a higher plan There must be a higher plan They say to everything there is a season And that everything happens … Everything happens for a reason While guns and greed and governments spread misery on earth I wonder if we’ve all forgotten what a life is worth I’m tryin’ to remember what they taught me long ago I wish I knew that everything I learned is really so But no matter what comes our way I need to believe I’ve got to believe that Everything happens for a reason Whether we understand it or not And if everything happens for a reason Whether we want to face it or not Then there must be a higher plan There must be a higher plan They say to everything there is a season And that everything happens … Everything happens for a reason Everything happens for a reason Whether we understand it or not And there must be a higher plan There must be a higher plan They say to everything there is a season And that everything happens … Everything for a reason Everything happens for a reason Everything happens … Everything happens for a reason … for a reason © 2011 Paul A.

Blue Carribean Waltz + -
(by Paul Guzzone) If I were a sailor then she’d be the mast holding steady and straight in the wind And if I were in danger, then she’d be the welcoming lighthouse guiding me in Now, I am no angel, but I do believe the devil will never take me I am no sailor, but I do believe that these currents will bring her to me ‘Cause there’s nothing as peaceful as the breeze on the water or as soft as the sea doves’ calls Won’t you come take my hand and we’ll dance in the sand to the blue Caribbean waltz Sometimes I feel like this island, the ocean side wide, the inlets are calm But I know the day that I find her I’ll never wander. I’ll do her no harm Now, I am no angel, but I do believe the devil will never take me I am a poet and I do believe that these currents will send her to me ‘Cause there’s nothing as peaceful as the breeze on the water or as soft as the sea doves’ calls Won’t you come take my hand and we’ll dance in the sand to the blue Caribbean waltz The blue Caribbean waltz © 1996 Paul A.

I Saw Elvis + -
(by Paul Guzzone & Raffaele D’Onofrio) The motel phone rang around midnight Some lonely man pushed the wrong buttons He was lookin’ for an angel named Lucinda And he thought I sounded a lot like her second cousin I was watching Viva Las Vegas with the sound off Viva love, viva me, viva you And I told that stranger cryin’ on the phone Tell me friend, what would Elvis do? I saw Elvis but he’s gone The king is dead but we carry on We all gotta find our own way Find our own way Find our own way, home I saw Elvis but he’s gone Tomorrow mornin’ I’ll be in Memphis That’s where I’ll start my new life With a woman who loves me like a king And this time, I’m gonna do things right So say a prayer to the come back gods For the grace of a second chance And play a song for the fallen idols But save and my baby the last dance I saw Elvis but he’s gone The king is dead but we carry on We all gotta find our own way Find our own way Find our own way, home I saw Elvis but he’s gone The motel phone rang around midnight © 2004 by Paul A.
