Fools in the Rain 04:42
lyrics
buy track
We won't just settle for existence Both have some greater things in mind You fill the hollowed halls with footsteps We'll take the road no one has tried Fools in the Rain We slip and fall but then we're up again Fools in the Rain We're chasing after our own rainbows end Still waters deep is half the story You're part of me I'm part of you Each twist and turn has got us changing Forever coming into view Fools in the Rain We've come so far we've run too hard again Fools in the Rain We'll take a chance if there's a chance to win Just Fools in the rain We're chasing after our own rainbows end We've both been guilty of resistance Protecting hearts so few can find Wasted tears on disappointment When it was all just down the line Fools in the Rain We slip and fall but then we're up again Fools in the Rain We've run so hard we've come so far and then Fools in the Rain We'll take a chance if there's a chance to win Just Fools in the rain We're chasing after our own rainbows end Fools in the Rain

Don't Lie to Me 04:25
lyrics

Just another piece of fine conversation You make me dizzy with the words you use Just enough to make me lose concentration Next thing I know I’m walking in your shoes The contradictions and the words you’ve spoken I see you coming from a mile away So sad when the trust has been broken And I’m believing every word you say (chorus) Don’t lie to me I don’t lie to you You’re moving like the waves on the ocean Telling everybody what they want to hear So many faces for so many different places You better watch it now the end is near (chorus) Don’t lie to me I don’t lie to you Don’t lie to me I don’t lie to you Someday you’re gonna have to think about it You’re burning bridges from the right and left Someday you’re gonna have to live without it You’re only hurting yourself (chorus) Don’t lie to me I don’t lie to you Don’t lie to me I don’t lie to you

Let’s go out tonight While the moon is full And stars are bright Let’s go out tonight Let’s go out tonight Where the lights are low The mood is right Let’s go out tonight Let’s go out tonight We can go dancing Paint up this town Let’s catch a late show You know I like how that sounds Let’s go out tonight I‘ll bring the car around We’ll take a drive Let’s go out tonight Let’s go out tonight Doesn’t matter where When you’re by my side Let’s go out tonight Let’s go out tonight swing with the night life Or just slip away Let’s get some fresh air tonight Forget the cares of the day We can go dancing I’ll take you anywhere, anywhere Let’s go out tonight Let’s go out tonight Let’s go out tonight Let’s go out tonight

A Tear Fell in Times Square 03:36
lyrics

Girl now I called you, I don’t like the way we look lately You said you’d call me have you burned that page in your address book Babe, I had my doubts, the words stuck in your throat So for my sake, I walked out, I’ve got the antedote for heartache Come on downtown Petulla said come let the neon go to your head like cheap champaigne Then a tear fell in times square A tear fell in times square again So it’s come to this, scuffling around in a cold town With your freezing kiss, a sting on my lips as I look down And I broke down I called you, I was curt and cold on your phone machine Guess I called to say things that I don’t mean Come on downtown Petulla said come let the neon go to your head no that’s not rain Then a tear fell in times square A tear fell in times square again (bridge) A tear fell in times square Splashed in the gutter and froze there Thousands of trod but they don’t care A tear fell in times square

I Just Want You 04:32
lyrics

Step by step I'll paint your world So many colors make up this picture of you Brush your hand across the sky The stars that follow Wait for your eyes to shine I would do anything for you If wishes could make Dreams come true I just want you I just want you to be I just want you to be right next to me Piece by piece the plot unfolds We play this puzzle Like we both have forever Every move of pure design Trips with the changes and Tumbles into desire I would do anything for you If wishes could make Dreams come true I just want you I just want you to be I just want you to be right next to me

Nothing We Can't Do Together 04:25
lyrics

When Dreams fall short of heaven Hope is wearing thin I think of you my love and I’m strong again With you are my bearings Guide me through the dark Like the ancient sailors Would read the stars I can brave the hard times I can stand up to my fears It’s like the doors swing open When you are here When I need you the most If I stumble or fall You’re always there I’m safe in your arms (chorus) There’s nothing we can’t do together Nothing here can stand in our way There’s nothing we can’t do together Anything All my plans include you It’s easy to see why everything looks brighter For you and I When I need you the most If I stumble or fall You’re always there I’m safe in your arms (chorus) There’s nothing we can’t do together Nothing here can stand in our way There’s nothing we can’t do together Anything (bridge) My love is your love Our love is true My love’s for you

Do What You Say 06:43
lyrics
buy track
There’s no talking, hurt dies slow You can’t take back what you can’t hold All your reasons start to bore And why should this time change I know Something new Learn to question, second guess To search for something to believe Take a comb to what you say And through this darkness I finally see What you say will come back to you Speak your mind if you must What you say will come back to you Do What you say Do what you say Do what you say Where’s the justice, right or wrong You cross the line and just keep going String the tales that bind your feet Each turn around is incomplete What you say will come back to you Speak your mind if you must What you say will come back to you Do What you say Do what you say Do what you say

Without You 03:40
lyrics
buy track
It’s a strange kind of feeling that comes over me That look in your eyes, I’m not sure how to read so much has altered, love still remains It’s all so unsettled, it’s hard to find the words to say It’s a strange kind of feeling, sleeping alone Hard when I call you and you’re not alone I lose and recover that’s not enough An obvious choice now when we don’t talk about love No, no, we never talk about love Don’t know why we don’t talk about love It’s a hard line to follow, we never cross More than the memory, tomorrow is lost It’s a strange kind of feeling, so much has changed You’re still in my heart like that picture in that picture frame I know we never talk about love Don’t know why we don’t talk about love (bridge) It’s hard to watch you walk away and make believe I don’t care Holding you again someday, I need you there (chorus) Without you, life is so strange without you Without you, life is so strange without you

Neutral Zone 05:35
lyrics
buy track
It’s not that we don’t see the other side More that we won’t give up what we hold That’s yours and this is mine and the in between Stretches out farther than we both know And I, I know there’s a neutral zone Where you and I belong Break down the walls we cause together In this place the neuatral zone The light of hope is all we know Cross the lines that seperate Find a way to touch It’s fear that keeps us reaching out for more It’s fear that makes us say we don’t care The king of all you know isn’t much to be To scared to see what knocks at your door And I, I know there’s a neutral zone Where you and I belong Break down the walls we cause together In this place the neuatral zone The light of hope is all we know Cross the lines that seperate Find a way to touch

The Other Road To Your House 03:06

The other road to your house Out beyond all we know It might take forever I might fall, but I won’t stop The other road to your house From where I stand is Everywhere I’ll do what I have to To find my way, then I’ll be there On the other road to your house Another road You’ll find me there On the other road to your house The other road You’ll find me there The other road to your house Out beyond all we know

about

“This is as good as it gets. He [Wilson] has got the songs, the band and he’s awfully good looking” -Tom Kidd, Music Connection Magazine - 1986
Indy music of the 80’s was not just punk and glam but studio pop with intimate stage raves that brought the audience and musicians together.
"Big Window" was recorded 20 years ago at Telestar Recording Studios in Burbank, California and was to be the first release on Joe Gottfried's new independent label. Joe was a successful artist manager and co owner of the legendary "Sound City" Recording Studios in Los Angeles, California. "Sound City" is also the subject of the movie with the same title and is scheduled to be released in February 2013. "Sound City" the movie, is produced, directed and created by Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters and Nirvanna fame that documents the amazing history and indelible impact that the Sound City Studios has had on some of the best music and musicians of several generations. Joe Gottfried died of a heart attack before the launch of his independent label and the master tapes for "Big Window" were lost and forgotten until my son, Nigel, discovered some DAT copies of the original masters and urged me to release them at the same time we were putting the finishing touches on his debut CD "Anybody Else". I am proud of the music and the time of my life it takes me back to, with some amazing musicians that continue to be wonderful and supportive friends including M. B. Gordy, Grady Shawver, Lisbeth Scott, Phyllis Bailey, Geoff Stradling, Mike McLinden, Steve Ezzo, Nancy Roche, Scott Manza, Pat Carey, Wade Bierry and Andrew Matheson.
“Big Window” was truly a collaborative effort, allowing me to choose great songs and to write with inspired and passionate artists. Everyday in the studio was one of discovery and clarity as the music came together. I am happy to finally release this collection of songs and share this moment in time.
