Intro

Taking It From The Top

Ken is a Dallas song and topline writer.  So, what's the difference?  A songwriter writes both the music and the lyrics of a song.  A topliner takes an instrumental track and writes the lyrics and their melody over it.   Beginning in 2021, Ken decided to take a leap of faith and fully produce some of his own material from scratch. Thanks to talented studio musicians, vocalists, and a patient producer, the result was his first EP, Ask You, a moody exploration of love, loss, longing, and spiritual connection.  His latest set of songs continue those timeless themes.  

About Ken's Music

EP and Singles

Finding a quality studio that could fully produce his songs, Ken started work on what would become Ask You  in the fall of 2021.  Encouraged by the reception of his first track, "Invisible," the project blossomed from there.  The result was a carefully-crafted EP that he hoped would resonate with listeners. 

His second set of songs consist of six singles, the first release "Where You Lie (Papa's Song)", pays homage to his father and his Southern roots. Featured vocalists are John and Sylvie.   The second release "Lust, Passion, Love," is a bluesy Soul/Pop number with Evan as featured vocalist.  

Coming soon?  A number he hopes you'll enjoy.

Lyrics of the Month

March 2024: Where You Lie (Papa's Song)

*****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************    

       Smoky Mountains, Caroline

       Stitch or two from the Georgia line

       Your bones in red clay just where they grew

       Coal ‘n cotton, corn to grind

       Built the family ‘stead

       Streets that line Westminster

       Places traced in you

       Where you lie, Blue Ridge taps your shoulders

       Where you lie, foothills fiddle tunes

       Where you lie, Georgia dew lights that road ahead

       That winding road to Clayton west of you

      Where you (Hey now, hey now, hey)

       Where you (Hey now, hey now, hey)

       Where you lie, tall oak trees bathe your sleepin’ head

       And mockingbirds serenade you

       You left for good in ‘41

       Crops to seed, a farm to run

       Called you “Bub the Renegade”

       Took up north, there he strayed

       Now your bones full circle share the view

       Hey mockingbird! Let's hear it for your golden boy

       Mockingbird! Sittin’ high above your southern boy 

       Add a run to your melody

       A trill or two to your delivery

       You spent your life drilling steel

       Up at four, had mouths to feed

       Traded dreams for a shipyard gate

       Resigned yourself to a poor man’s fate

       Now your bones full circle share the view 

       Where you lie, Blue Ridge taps your shoulders

       Where you lie, foothills fiddle tunes

       Where you lie, Georgia dew lights that road ahead

       That winding road to Clayton west of you

       Where you (hey now, hey now, hey)

       Where you (hey now, hey now, hey)

       Where you lie, tall oak trees bathe your sleepin’ head

       And mockingbirds, and mockingbirds

       And mockingbirds serenade you. 

                                                                                                                                                                           Ken Adams 2023
