Description Marc Silver’s 1st album as a singer & songwriter comes after years of practice and experimentation with instrumental jazz and performance music. Marc’s new acoustic-driven album, Stonethrowers, is presented with instruments that are commonly found on today’s mountain festival stages. The songs feature textures from simple guitar and vocal duets to rich trumpet arrangements, layered electric guitars, and vocal choirs. Stonethrowers is a well balanced presentation of beautifully articulated songs that expose a wide range of emotional territories.

Pull In On The Reins
Still the passing of the torch
The sounds of traffic roll Music will record the birds and bees The thunders and the rains will call From over mountains peaks Rumble go the train wheels over steel I only wish I’d seen you before you left my dear I wish that I had seen you before it was too late Heard the breezes whispers that carried on its wings So I could know the present in the way I know it now And I could pull in on the reigns & slow the horses down I’m on my way to town to see you bury you in the ground and grieve Pull in on the reigns…go slowly Pull in on the reigns… Moon will glow tides will rise Waves roll on the beach Crashing waters wash the sand to sea A witness to the wonderful Silence and of peace Fly the blackbirds off to warmer trees Only wish I’d had seen you before you left my dear Miss your breathing while you sleep While sailing off to dream You held me in your arms where I could weep Laughter and the pain are like The beauty and the beast Live within my dreams and memories Only wish I’d seen you before you left my dear embed code Put the clip of this song on any of your html web pages.

Charlie's Song
Charlie’s got a song in his head
He’s born to walk along to his tune instead He doesn’t hear noise that is on the street Doesn’t hear things that people say as they speak to him He hears his tune instead Let his voice be strong when he sings Never turn away from his beat Let him carry on and on sweetly singing Charlie is a boy with a dream His eyes are made of love and purity The world comes alive in his smile Music of his mind has hypnotized in peaceful ways May it last all days Living with the songs that are in his head when his life is sad may he sing instead Life ain’t half as bad when songs keep you dreaming Charlie’s got this song in his mind everybody says to get in line No one hears his little song everyone says to move along They’re not listening they don’t hear him sing Teach him to be kind thrifty with time Respect his mind and be faithful Where willing ones able Show him its ok to walk any way when Steps he takes are peaceful Done good over evil Teach him to be true in all he’ll do Love will follow too when friendly Treat others as family Some times you’ll fall on your face Some times you’ll be far from grace Keep your heart with song through time With your goals alive, life will Enable When you are Faithful And True. When Charlie turns from boy into a man Will he keep his song as a loving friend? Walk on the sands with his song in place Gaze on the stars with his smiling face and sings his tune A little song for you Living with the songs that are in our heads When our lives are sad may we sing instead Life ain’t half as bad with songs that keep you dreaming So keep on singing My Friends embed code Put the clip of this song on any of your html web pages.

My Last Breath
Where do you go when your heart is lost
lost and estranged with nowhere to start Will you find the ones who love you and who know your heart where will you be when those who love you have gone My mother was there when my life began I see her move through as hers comes to an end A fear to be alone does worry her sweet mind A fear she conceals that gleams out from her eyes love will you be there in the end will you look me in the eyes for my last breath its all I fear in the world as I pass through is to be without the love I’ve got in you I am a man who plays guitar pick it up for my days withdraw try to play hard make money and shine like a star all I got was tired and dirt in my claws I want know what happiness means try not to stray to far from my dreams to be without a dream is a knife buried in your knee and a long walk anyway till its your day in the grave Love will you be there in the end will you look me in the eyes for my last breath its all I fear in the world as I pass through is to be without the love I’ve got in you embed code Put the clip of this song on any of your html web pages.

Nectars Sweet and Rare
Life is for the living where its wasted bye and by
Abandoned stones they mark us generations under sky ants and birds and trees they share our vessel's where we lie now whisper words of wisdom as we listen walking by In Life We are all just children with arrogance and pride in our eyes are fires where our souls live out their strife competing for our values in a universe of wars building matter growing madder souls live in a curse But why Each moment that is loved in life a star put in the sky and all the ones you cannot see are still out there to find If I could be a traveler through time and universe I’d take the light from all the love and heal the living curse a solemn sense of sadness leaves and grains of sand days like seconds lives they slip through the hourglass We validated our victories but still we don’t know peace rising up to choke on dreams that weren’t within our reach success is often failure illusively diseased its the wicked truth we lather as we climb up from our knees disease The past becomes the present and its you that's sitting here read the names and numbers and calculate the years try to think them lives with footsteps traveled in the air every day is getting closer your stone will declare A life with breath imprinted moments nectars sweet and rare to share Each moment that is loved in life is a star put in the sky and all the ones you cannot see are out there still to find If I could be a traveler through time and universe I’d take the light from all the love and heal the living curse a solemn sense of sadness colored leaves and sand days like seconds lives are slipping through the hourglass embed code Put the clip of this song on any of your html web pages.

Claim Him Jesus
Oh God oh God its not about me
Not about me all the time Its my friends and love’s that need you Won’t you please lend them your hand Oh God Oh God through the struggles When abandoned and betrayed May we all come back to loving The beauty in life you made Lord take from all you need I’m but a vessel for your deeds Know even if you claim him Jesus You still get lost at times Life aint here just to please us Our best is just to try Oh God I don’t need religion They’re just words upon a page I believe your love is still with me Though your preachers preach disdain Oh God is your love prejudicial Did you refuse your fellow man Did your blood not bleed for the lover That lays down with the same Lord take from all you need I’m but a vessel for your deeds Know even if you claiim him Jesus You still get lost at times Life aint here just to please us Our best is just to try Our best is yet to find embed code Put the clip of this song on any of your html web pages.

Lay Me Down
I cant find myself in the shoes that once fit me
Yeah I wore them down till they ain’t gotta sole to live I’m a shell of a man who lived just one year ago All I got is a shadow and a dream Lay me down what is left to do… I Followed you… and broke down All of the doors hoping that I might see What’s left in life, what’s left in life for me The future is to make yeah but where is the pavement Sniff around in your mind try to find a clue The ink the is the mark and the measure that made you So you dig around till you’ve worn down all of your tools Hit the ground try to run but the world overcame me Yeah it wore me down with my head hanging low in defeat The nightmare will claim your soul when heaven won’t take you And run you down to hell and its fiery seas embed code Put the clip of this song on any of your html web pages.

It's You
Its you Honey my little piece of sun
Its you Honey when the day is done We ain’t always pretty ain’t always lots of fun We don’t chase each other like stars around the sun But we have love and love will make our home Its you honey a warm and welcome soul Its you honey the calm in this great world When roads we drive get rocky when life’s hard to adore Your hearts what keeps mine singing and I knowing I ain’t poor man in this fight Your the one thing right How my heart sings when I look in your eyes How did I find in the lonesome night such a king You were the piece that I dreamed at night Fell into place in my puzzled life now it seems...honey I’m your queen embed code Put the clip of this song on any of your html web pages.

Linger
I hope when you leave me you will not linger for long
And pray on my mind as the road we did not drive Decide and be faithful please make up your mind Decide and remember with loving eyes we cried You know when I met you I thought that we’d be alright We tried for the better until that fateful night When time and her strange ways she led our hearts astray And time and her mercy held us in her arms… It’s a sweet life I am thankful for you It’s a sweet life thank the heavens We found each other’s songs to carry us along And though we are alone I still sing your little jingles with joy in ruin embed code Put the clip of this song on any of your html web pages.

Push Comes To Shove
Push comes to shove There’s always love a vice and virtue of the heart
I really care tried to be there to see things through the times we failed All I wanted was a chance to see A life fulfilling all our childhood dreams When I got the coaches call The rug came out from under me I felt the tear drops start to fall People pointing and laughing at me As I lie here on the floor broken down in shattered pieces I felt that love had pulled the chord left alone to search my heart for the cause I wondered why we fought each night I know the answers is not far off Two hearts will bleed for eyes will cry if we part ways and bide our time All I wanted was a guiding light A love to hold me through the darkest night When I’m down I learn to crawl I try to find my feet again And when my back’s against the wall You are there to share your hand Now every time I slip and fall I hear love call, get off the floor Say try again and make it right let love guide you through your life tonight Push comes to shove There’s always love a troubadour to warm your heart Know that I care I’ve come prepared to see things through when we have failed All I want in life is you and me To feel alive in life and reach our dreams To ride the breeze through time walk softly Slow things down and know the flowers With playful hearts and minds carefree Walk through town in April showers I know that love’s an open door free in life to come and go I hope that you will come back home please don’t stay away to long my love embed code Put the clip of this song on any of your html web pages.

Stonethrowers
Doesn’t matter how strong
You cannot hang on or control And the tighter that you squeeze The more need to breath you won’t hither The scheme From your secrets you might tumble Lost and spinning in the tunnel of your mind You might reason you might desire Be lead astray by the liar in yourself And so we pray And if God is a witness or if Christ walked among us Why is life so appalling always shocking I believe in conditions to receive restitution For our lives as sinners as stone throwers And the peace that we crave it will not last our many Till its over and were covered in our grave embed code Put the clip of this song on any of your html web pages.
