In 2016, Greg “Grey” Perkins took four of my poems from Tea & Sprockets and created the song, “Oh My Chameleon Perceptions” with Mike Harbour and Steven Harwood. The song appears on his album Booze & Psychedelics. Support Greg by downloading songs from iTunes here.
On the 2025 album Headline Antidote, Grey created “Headline Antidote,” “Musty Books,” and “Life of Dreams” from some of my older poetry. You can purchase the album from Greg on his website.
In 2016, Fred Ross-Perry took some words of poetry that I’d submitted to La Familia and expanded them into song lyrics, “Peace Will Come.” Support Fred by buying his songs on BandCamp here.
In 2004, I wrote the words to “Last Chance Disaster.” Jon Carrube later slightly modified the poem, creating song lyrics and adding a melody. Jon Carrube & I sing together.
Below is the acoustic version of “Last Chance Disaster” recorded in 2011. Greg plays guitar.
I released this version under the name Tranquoizier. Mikey Harbour plays drums and keyboards on the full version.
I remixed the sound and added it to Muffins in Space.

The post Songs appeared first on D.L. Lang.
