Lyrics for Peter Ott's Cool Blue

Cool Blue

(words and music by Peter Ott)

Way down in Mexico
Where green and brown go walking'
Surf's up and beach boys
Dance with a sliver of luck

That's where I found my girl
A beauty that's so shocking'
You'd have to see her twice
Just to get down thru the tough

All I can say 
Is she's my dream come true
Out of my mind
What's a man to do

Cool Blue
Cool Blue

Out of a dream
My many dreams
I see her walking'
I see her glancin' my way

Out of a dream
My many dreams
I see her walkin'
I see her comin'
Slidin' my way

All I can say 
Is she's my dream come true
Out of my mind
What's a man to do

Cool Blue
Cool Blue

All I can say 
Is she's my dream come true
Out of my mind
What's a man to do

Cool Blue
Cool Blue

Out of my mind
My jealousy
I could't find her
I checked the beach
I could have swore
I saw her there

I couldn't find 
The shoes she wore 
When we were dancing
I couldn't smell 
That wondrous smell
Found in her hair

All I can say 
Is she's my dream come true
Out of my mind
What's a man to do

Cool Blue
Cool Blue

Hi World, It's me...

I've been making my own music for a long time.  There have been times of doubt, boredom, waining interest, and lack of time.  But the love of building things has been with me since my dawn and it always seemed that the need to grab a guitar and play always came back. I started playing in high school, getting together with a couple of other interesting cartoon characters and it has been a constant now-vacation for me;  my left-brained life needs the right-brained help that music and art afford me. Playing guitar has also been the gateway to learn some of the other pieces that are integral to music:  equipment, recording, mixing and production.  Although often not successful, it's always been rewarding to listen to something that too many hours and too little actual physical activity can produce.   It was through much learning, failure, and limited success that this first bunch of songs has finally come to life.    No music should stay locked u...

About the song: "Blue to Black"

A while back in my history, I lived in downtown Toronto and walked by a huge book store every morning on my way to school or, later, work.  Invariably there were always a couple people sitting against the outside wall asking for money.  They usually seemed happy.  They weren't old, or sick...one of them even had a dog that seemed only all to happy to be there working with them.  It was interesting to think about the differences between us and what we each had to deal with throughout our day. The dog owner was there in front of the store consistently and, over time, we got to saying "good morning" to each other as I passed by.  I don't recall giving him money more than a couple times, but I was tempted every day.  I never asked him, but wondered what his life was like, what he did with his money and what his backstory was.  Blue to Black is what I imagined his life was and what was he was hoping to become. It's not a secret that many people on the stree...
