"My favorite song is "White Heat." There is a little hook in the background that just kind of grabs you. I also like the guitar playing. I wish I had McCloud's talent" -  Wil Owen, Rambles.net - A Cultural Arts Magazine

Reviews Of "On the Edge of Time"

Sexual bonding is one of the primal forces of the Universe. It carries us along on its waves and we are the instrument it plays in the symphony of procreation and continuance of the life force. I wrote this song several years back when a relationship I was in began to devolve into a series of deadlines, corporate commitments and intolerable time away. Eventually the Lady had a corporate assignment that took her away forever.

One of the most difficult expectations of our culture is that personal and family life should be sacrificed for career, which is really only a mask for a belief that individuals & their human needs are less important than collective corporate or government interests. If we expect our systems of government and private interests to be more human friendly, we must first free ourselves of the concept that our individual lives and their natural rhythms are less important than the workings of  our collective institutions.

  White Heat    

When your breath is like soft thunder through the velvet of desire,

the tide just pulls me under and I can't quench the fire,

When your voice is like a whisper of the rushing of the sea,

your touch is as persistent as the hunger driving me,

White Heat, Hot night on the desert

White heat, two bodies come together

all night long, all night long

When your footsteps are the echo of the saying of goodbye,

 I know I have to let go, though its only for a while,

I know you got your deadlines,  God knows I've got mine

At least I've got my heart beat to help me keep track of the time

When You're silk and steel and satin the object of my desire,

I don't quite know what happens But I just can't fight the fire

The price I pay for loving you is the time when you're away,

The ache of desire is the way of all flesh,  it's  a straight line from love to pain
