"I Can't Make You Love Me" recorded for the new album "Free", in one take.

2008-10-11T20:46:08Z

(watch in high quality)

Sam Harris, in the recording studio, working on one of the tracks for his new album entitled "Free".

This song is especially emotional to Sam, and hard for him to get through, so he insisted that what you hear (and see) is what you get the first time around. Therefore, what you are hearing here is the actual recording you will hear from the album. Does not get anymore raw than this!

I CAN'T MAKE YOU LOVE ME

Turn down the lights, turn down the bed
turn down these voices inside my head.
Lay down with me, tell me no lies.
Just hold me close, don't patronize
-- don't patronize me.

I can't make you love me, if you don't.
You can't make your heart feel something it won't.
Here in the dark, in these lonely hours,
I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power.
But you won't, no you won't,
cause I can't make you love me, if you don't.

I'll close my eyes, then I won't see
the love you dont feel when youre holding me.
Morning will come, and I'll do what's right.
Just give me till then to give up this fight,
and I will give up this fight.

Invasion of the Vlog People! War with Angels in the Republic

2008-10-11T20:46:09Z

Sam takes you backstage before his Republic concert in Hollywood. We meet Lloyd Cook, and Todd Schroeder attempts a little nipple play before they go on. Bridget Moynahan is in the audience, apparently to provide sexual frustration for anyone with a libido. Sam encounters Vlog People, Vicki and Mindy, and the drama that goes along with being Vicki and Mindy! He explains "Vlog People" to the audience and we get another version of "War On War" with Todd forced to sing backup! He closes this video with a live performance of "Only Angels Know". Vicki was Sam's temporary camerawoman.

SAM HARRIS - FREE - CONCERT REVIEW
"Cabaret Scenes": tinyurl.com

Singer, songwriter, actor, film and television writer, director, producer! Who can fill all those roles effectively and come out on Birdland's stage with a powerful, soaring voice that reaches the Heavens? SAM HARRIS! Casual in jeans and Superman T-shirt, this grand champion of the premiere season of Star Search is joyous and by all means FREE. After recording several CDs and selling multi-millions of copies, Sam likes to call his new album a record -- a record of his experiences, a collection of being Free (ad title song of the new CD).

Most songs on this record were written by Harris alone or with his long time friend and Musical Director Todd Schroeder. Much of the CD was recorded only after a few hours sleep, many songs on one take. Why? Because Sam is the proud papa of Cooper Atticus/Harris-Jacobsen, now 4 months old, who has taken over the life, breathe, heart, soul and world of Sam Harris and his long time partner Danny. He is giddy and overcome with joy in his role as parent and that is what drives the passion and expressive feelings that pour out on every song from this pop-rock wunderkind.

"Anchor of Love" (Harris/Schroeder) a rock ballad filled with momentous lyrics must be a hymn to Cooper Atticus as is "When You Appear" (Harris/Schroeder), where Harris soars brilliantly as he takes flight at the wonder and thrill when he is with his new son. "I Love You More" (music/lyric Kevin Fisher) is a highlight of one-upmanship and "He Is" (Schroeder/Sullivan/Harris) is one of Sam's most important songs, a male love song, sung with guitar (William Rottman playing) and bongos. Sam says he can write and sing these songs because "I am free; show biz is a prison." "Before You Go" (Harris/Schroeder) is a tear jerker about people who are parting and trying for one more chance. It is presented with simplicity and a reality that touches the soul.

His Obama campaign theme song, "Change Is on the Way," was sung to a track with band and back-up singers. On "War on War," a political hallelujah, he was joined by guest artist, soul singer Maya Azucena. Some Harris insights shared along the way include "up-tempo songs are tragedy with a beat."

Harris has had an outstanding career, including Broadway as a Drama Desk nominee in Grease; a Tony, Outer Critic's Circle, Drama Desk Nominations for Cy Coleman's The Life, and also appeared in The Producers.

Sam Harris is a volatile, electrifying performer who reaches deep into the mind and core of his being to extract the provocative and exuberant. To quote him - "life is good. . . I like my life . . . it's a good time to be me!"

Birdland History...

Ever since most of Chicago's top musicians moved to New York in the mid-to-late 1920s, New York City has been the Jazz Mecca. Nearly every major jazz style of the past seventy years has been initiated in the Big Apple.

It was Charlie Parker, familiarly known to his fans and fellow musicians as "Bird," a contraction of Yardbird, his formal nickname, who was the dynamic creative personality and genius of the alto saxophone who served as the inspiration for Birdland.

When the original Birdland opened fifty-eight years ago in December, 1949, Charlie Parker was the headliner and the club was located on Broadway, a few blocks west of 52nd Street, which was a hotbed of jazz in the 1930s and 40s.

Miraculously, just as the scene on 52nd Street caved in, Birdland was born and quickly came to prominence. For the next fifteen years, the club's survival formula was built upon memorable double and triple bills, commencing at 9 p.m. and sometimes lasting 'til dawn. Click here to view memorabilia from the original Birdland.

In addition to Bird, many jazz legends were regulars at the club. Count Basie and his smokin' big band made Birdland their New York headquarters, eventually recording George Shearing's "Lullaby of Birdland" live at the club. John Coltrane's classic Quartet regularly appeared at the club in the early 1960s, recording "Live at Birdland." And the infamous Symphony Sid Torin made a name for himself broadcasting live from the club to radio listeners up and down the eastern seaboard.

In its first five years of existence, 1,400,000 paid the $1.50 admission to make their way either right to the cabaret section or left to the intense listening bullpen to hear Birdland's attractions and sample its atmosphere. Given the artists on the bill, that comes as no surprise. Birdland's booking history reads like a who's who of jazz: Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Thelonious Monk, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Bud Powell, Stan Getz, Lester Young, Erroll Garner, and many, many others.

Considering the excitement that Birdland generated on a daily basis, it's no surprise that the club attracted its share of celebrities. Regulars to the nightly festivities included such household names as Gary Cooper, Marilyn Monroe, Frank Sinatra, Joe Louis, Marlene Dietrich, Ava Gardner, Sammy Davis, Jr. and Sugar Ray Robinson.

As Allan Morrison, the long-time editor of Ebony once put it, "Birdland was both a cultural vantage point and a barometer of trends where all the big names in jazz performed."

But as a new popular music, Rock & Roll emerged, Birdland's fortunes declined in the 60's and its doorswere closed on Broadway and 52nd in 1965. After many 5 am nights, the club needed to take a nap.

Birdland awoke uptown in 1986 at 2745 Broadway, on the corner 105th Street. The uptown Birdland was triangular. The stage was in the narrow center, and as the triangle widened, there was a bar with small tables. No musicians would deny the unique acoustics this setup produced. In ten years, more than 2,000 emerging artists performed at the club. On many occasions, artists who performed at the original club on 52nd street graced the stage of the second version of Birdland as well.

Now, half a century later, the Birdland banner has been reborn in midtown and called, "close to perfection for serious fans and musicians," by The New York Times. After a decade of neighborhood success on the Upper West Side, John decided to move the club back to Midtown. The new Birdland offers top-flight jazz in a world class setting, good sight lines and acoustics, elbow room, and a menu ripe with award winning Southern Cuisine.

Since the reemergence of the club, midtown Manhattan has been treated to some of the best jazz on the planet, including memorable sets by such musicians as Oscar Peterson, Pat Metheny, Diana Krall, Roy Haynes, Michel Legrand, Pat Martino, Tony Williams, Hank Jones, Michel Petrucciani, John Pizzarelli, John Scofield, Phoebe Snow, Dave Holland, and Tito Puente, as well as the big bands of Chico O'Farrill, Toshiko Akiyoshi, and Maria Schneider.

Woody Guthrie's I Ain't Got No Home

2008-07-09T13:46:57Z

Woody Guthrie's song about the displaced, the homeless, the migrants. Although this was an attack on capitalists and corporations during the depression, in this age of uffettered corporate control of society and government, in this age of anti-immigrant and anti-worker hysteria whipped up by the discredited but still dominant corrupt corporate media, with home and farm foreclosures at an all-time high, Woody's words were never more true for millions of Americans and immigrants.

Woody Guthrie's This Land is Your Land

2008-07-09T13:36:31Z

This is Woody Guthrie's song, including most of the usually deleted verses. Brief spoken intro. plus reference and comparison to Twain and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. A truly patriotic song from the Twain and Whitman of American folksong, the Heart and Soul of the true America: the America that, at its birth, changed "Life, Liberty, and Property" to "Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness" in recognition of the fact that too much deference to the wealthy was grounds for disaster. The Generals, from Washington to Eisenhower to Powell, have warned us, but too often, as now, we have lost our way. Woody, in the full words to this song and a hundred others, tried to show us the way back.

Woody Guthrie's Pastures of Plenty

2008-07-09T13:25:20Z

Woody's beautifully stirring and truly patriotic "Pastures of Plenty" extolling the virtues of the migrant workers, or "illegals," as they are now abusively called. They have always been at the heart of America's food production. The spirit of Cesar Chavez is in this song. Guthrie's song was relevant in the thirties, in the sixties, in the eighties, and never more so than in the everpresent....

Tim McMullen's Old Glory

2008-07-09T13:07:34Z

A scathing song attacking those who wrap themselves in the flag while degrading the basic values of America. An anti-war song written during the Vietnam war, but never more appropriate than during Bush's Iraq war, a war predicated on flagrant lies and a criminal abuse of power. For more on this topic, read my MySpace blog on veterans and flag desecration entitled "There They Go Again" at myspace.com/tcbijou, and watch my video called "The Pledge of the Politically Correct" on YouTube. Now with the new Fox faux flaps over lapel pins, hands on hearts, and Michelle Obama's pride, this song about false patriotic pride is newly relevant.

Old Glory

God bless Old Glory—Hey, Boys, ain't you proud?
Its glory is a myth now, but it's useful as a shroud.
Pledge allegiance to the lies and lose your liberty;
Trade your eyes for stirring words
Like "Land of Brave and Free."

Watch the colored cloth unfurl—hear the anthem play—
Star-spangled death for those who get caught in our way.
(Star-spangled death for those in great martial array)

Duty calls—prepare the pyre and pick the sacrifice—
Become a self-made murderer; don't think it over twice.
Write the books of history; repeat the words aloud.
Remember what Old Glory means?
Hey, Boys, ain't you proud?

Tim McMullen's AC-DC Sock-It-To-Me Talkin' Blues

2008-07-09T13:02:09Z

A talking blues about the gay-bashing hysteria from Anita Bryant and Jesse Helms to George Bush and his anti-gay marriage amendment. A variation of Paul Stookey's great Talking Candy Bar Blues (Paul of Peter, Paul, and Mary). Now California has a new anti-marriage proposition on the November ballot. May it go down in ignominious defeat!

Only One Way (The AC/DC Sock-It-To-Me Talkin' Blues)
Dedicated to Anita Bryant and the Joint-Chiefs of Staff

I went down for some Florida sun,
Nothin' in mind 'cept to have a little fun.
Standin' on the beach—it's a beautiful day—
Lookin' all around for a place to lay.
Got my lunch packed—in my knapsack—
That's the day I found out why
They call 'em "Sandwiches":
'Cause of the sand which is
In the sandwiches.

Well, I lay for an hour
Gettin' hotter and hotter;
I decided I'd rather take to the water.
I swam on out, not payin' any mind
When a floatin' log come up an'
Hit me from behind.
I started drinkin'!
Then, I started sinkin'!
I had the unpleasant feelin'
I was goin' down
For the third time!

Then the lifeguard did what lifeguard's do:
He pulled me out,
But I was turnin' blue—
There was so much water
Where the air should be
There was only one way
He was gonna' save me
So, he did it!
Tipped my head back;
Pulled my tongue out
And proceeded to resuscitate me—
Mouth to Mouth.

After two or three minutes
I was breathin' again.
I opened my eyes and said,
"Thank you, Friend!"
When up marched a crowd of men and women
Not lookin' like they were goin' swimmin'.
They yelled, "Faggots!
Dirty, filthy maggots!
You'll pay for this lascivious display!"

Turned out it was some kinda' crazy crusade
Had 'em all riled up; they were really afraid.
Then the Orange Juice Lady began to pray:
"The Lord wants you to screw in just one way—
Missionary fashion—sex, without passion—
"Thank God, he's done quick,
Dallas (Jerry Springer) is on tonight!"

As they took us away, they spied a young couple
Who were gettin' it on, real lithe and supple
She'd pulled up her skirt;
He'd pulled down his pants;
There was no need to guess,
You could tell at a glance
They were fornicating—there in the sand—
Everybody gave 'em a great big hand
For humping each other The American Way!

Well, we both escaped, no thanks to them.
Now I'm real careful where I swim!
But I hear that Anita's headin' out West—
(Or Orrin, or Jesse, or Newt)
[Insert the demagogue of your choice]
...Not gonna' give those gays a rest!
Now, I don't mean to be blatant,
But could she/he be latent?
I mean, who else would raise up such a fuss?
Not us, would we? Would we?

When these voyeuristic busybodies finally relent
And sex is no longer a political event,
I hope things have changed to this extent:
We respect the privacy of mutual consent.

Tim McMullen's I'd Have to be Dead

2008-08-21T06:44:28Z

Strong anti-war song about the underlying stupidity and greed of war, the manipulative use of sloganeering, and the ruthless indoctrination of children designed to create unthinking "patriotism."

I'd Have to Be Dead (Cycles of Stupidity)

I don't know what it is to fight and die—
I'd have to be dead to know—
And I'd have to be dead not to wonder why
So many young men still go?

"It's a privilege to fight
for the fatherland" (they say)—
"A duty to kill or be killed"—
How can there be a duty to die for a lie?
How many young graves must be filled?

Cycles of stupidity: we've got to stay the course...
"Millions for cupidity," and no sense of remorse.

I Don't know what it is to fight and die—
And neither do any of you—
But they'll tell you killing strangers
In a foreign land
Is a patriotic thing to do—

From the crib floor, to the toy store,
To the heroes on TV—
For some real man fun give a boy a gun—
For boys will be what boys see!

Cycles of stupidity: we've got to stay the course...
"Millions for cupidity," and no sense of remorse.

I don't know what it is to fight and die—
I'd have to be dead to know—
And I'd have to be dead not to wonder why
So many young men still go?

Tim McMullen's Blood Red

2008-07-09T12:51:30Z

Powerful, live performance of a song about illegal wars from Reagan to Bush

Blood Red

Blood Red—Cities' sinking sun
Blood Red—Beaches' blazing sand
Blood Red—The chance for life's own pleasure
Slipping through a dying child's hand

Blood Red—Dwellings of the village
Blood Red—Burning walls through which they search
Blood Red—The school-house and the nursery
Blood Red—The bombed out rubble of the church

Blood Red—Our money bought the bullets
Blood Red—Our leaders aimed the gun
Blood Red—Our silence pulled the trigger
Now, look at what we've won—
Take a look at what we've done!

Blood Red—Gunboats in the harbour
Blood Red—Helicopter sound
Blood Red—Flesh to flames ignited
Blood Red—The bursting bombs that break the ground

Blood Red—Inflammatory headlines
Blood Red—The TV nightly news
Blood Red—Montage of people dying
Between the ads for buying women's shoes
And chewing gum sold by patriotic yachting crews

Blood Red—Our money bought the bullets
Blood Red—Our silence dropped the bombs
Blood Red—Our teachers hide from history
Blood Red TV preachers read us psalms
Greedy TV preachers grease their palms

Blood Red—Harvest from the field
Blood Red—Groceries on our shelves
Blood Red—The decent rate of profit
Blood Red—The deadly lies we tell ourselves

Blood Red—Our money buys the bullets
Blood Red—Rocket stockpiles and poison gas
Blood Red—Button to blow the world away
Blood Red—Our silence helped these come to pass

Blood Red—Our money buys the bullets
Blood Red—Our leaders aim the gun
Blood Red—Our silence pulls the trigger
Now, look at what we've won—
Take a look at what we've done!

WHEN YOU APPEAR

WHEN THE WORLD GETS COMPLICATED
AND THE SKY TURNS FROM BLUE TO GRAY
I'M FEELING UNAPPRECIATED
GETTING THROUGH ANOTHER ORDINARY DAY
I LOOK TO YOU

WHEN THE STARS BEGIN TO TUMBLE
AND THE ROAD SEEMS A LITTLE LONG
WHEN MY DREAMS BEGIN TO CRUMBLE
AND EVEN EVERY LITTLE THING JUST TURNS OUT WRONG
I LOOK TO YOU

I COULD SEE A BLAZING COMET
I COULD WATCH THE SUN AT RISE
BUT I'LL NEVER FIND THE WONDER OF THE LIGHT THAT'S IN YOUR EYES

WHEN YOU APPEAR AND YOU SHINE
THEN THE WORLD BEGINS TO TURN AND THEN THE STARS ALIGN
AND I'M FEELING LIKE MYSELF AGAIN SO I'LL BE FINE
KNOWING YOU'LL BE HERE
ALL WHEN YOU APPEAR

I WOULD CLIMB THE HIGHEST MOUNTAIN
I WOULD SWIN THROUGH THE OCEAN BLUE
I WOULD CROSS A BURNING DESERT
THERE IS NOTHING IN THE WORLD I WOULDN'T DO
TO LOOK FOR YOU

I HAVE SEEN THE SEVEN WONDERS
I HAVE SAILED THE SEVEN SEAS
BUT THEY PALE BESIDE THE SIGHT OF YOU AND WHAT YOU DO TO ME

WHEN YOU APPEAR AND YOU SHINE
THEN THE WORLD BEGINS TO TURN AND THEN THE STARS ALIGN
AND I'M FEELING LIKE MYSELF AGAIN SO I'LL BE FINE
KNOWING YOU'LL BE HERE
ALL WHEN YOU APPEAR

I COULD SEE A BLAZING COMET
I COULD WATCH THE SUN AT RISE
BUT I'LL NEVER FIND THE WONDER OF THE LIGHT THAT'S IN YOUR EYES

WHEN YOU APPEAR AND YOU SHINE
THEN THE WORLD BEGINS TO TURN AND THEN THE STARS ALIGN
AND I'M FEELING LIKE MYSELF AGAIN SO I'LL BE FINE
KNOWING YOU'LL BE HERE
ALL WHEN YOU APPEAR
ALL WHEN YOU APPEAR

I CAN'T MAKE YOU LOVE ME

TURN DOWN THE LIGHTS, TURN DOWN THE BED
TURN DOWN THESE VOICES INSIDE MY HEAD
LAY DOWN WITH ME, TELL ME NO LIES
JUST HOLD ME CLOSE, DON'T PATRONIZE
DON'T PATRONIZE ME

CAUSE I CAN'T MAKE YOU LOVE ME IF YOU DON'T
YOU CAN'T MAKE YOUR HEART FEEL SOMETHING IT WON'T
HERE IN THE DARK, IN THESE FINAL HOURS
I WILL LAY DOWN MY HEART AND I'LL FEEL THE POWER
BUT YOU WON'T, NO YOU WON'T
CAUSE I CAN'T MAKE YOU LOVE ME IF YOU DON'T

I'LL CLOSE MY EYES, THEN I CAN'T SEE
THE LOVE YOU DON'T FEEL WHEN YOU'RE HOLDING ME
MORNING WILL COME AND I'LL DO WHAT'S RIGHT
JUST GIVE ME TILL THEN TO GIVE UP THIS FIGHT
AND I WILL GIVE UP -- I WILL GIVE UP THIS FIGHT

ONLY ANGELS KNOW

SOMETIMES THINGS HAPPEN
THAT TEAR YOUR LIFE APART
WITH NO RHYME OR REASON
TO JUSTIFY THIS BROKEN HEART

GOD WORKS IN MYSTERIOUS WAYS
BUT THAT AGE OLD PHRASE
ISN'T BRINGING ANY COMFORT TO ME
I NEED COMFORT

ONLY ANGELS KNOW WHY A SOUL TAKES FLIGHT
IN THE DARKEST HOUR OF THE DEEPEST NIGHT
WILL MY HEART SURVIVE?
CAN I EVER LET YOU GO?
ONLY ANGELS KNOW

THE WORLD KEEPS ON TURNING
LIKE NOTHING HAS CHANGED
AND IT'S NOT HARD TO NOTICE
THAT NOTHING WILL EVER BE THE SAME

TIME HEALS ALL WOUNDS THEY SAY
BUT THAT OLD CLICH...
ISN'T BRINGING ANY COMFORT TO ME

ONLY ANGELS KNOW WHY A SOUL TAKES FLIGHT
IN THE DARKEST HOUR OF THE DEEPEST NIGHT
WILL MY HEART SURVIVE?
CAN I EVER LET YOU GO?
ONLY ANGELS KNOW

HOW MUCH MY HEART WILL MISS YOU
AND SO MY HEART IS ALWAYS WITH YOU AS YOU GO --
WILL MY HEART SURVIVE?
CAN I EVER LET YOU GO?
ONLY ANGELS KNOW

ONLY ANGELS KNOW
ONLY ANGELS KNOW

THANK YOU

YOU HAD ME WHERE YOU WANTED ME
WRAPPED AROUND YOUR FINGER
I THOUGHT THAT YOU WERE PROBABLY
THE BEST THAT I COULD DO

THAT CONDESCENDING TONE TO ME
THE SILENCE THAT WOULD LINGER
FOLLOWED BY APOLOGIES I MADE TO YOU

NOW I DON'T WANT YOUR VAGUE DISCLAIMERS,
LAME EXCUSES, ROLLING EYES
AND I DON'T HARBOR ILL INTENTIONS
BABY, HERE'S THE BIG SURPRISE

I WANT TO THANK YOU
FOR STEPPING ON MY HEART
FOR TEARING ME APART
FOR EVERY OUNCE OF PAIN YOU PUT ME THROUGH
THANK YOU, YOU THOUGHT YOU HAD ME BEAT
BUT NOW I FOUND MY FEET
AND FINALLY GOT A STRENGTH I NEVER KNEW
THANK YOU -- I WANT TO THANK YOU

THE PROMISES YOU MADE TO ME
WERE EMPTY OF INTENTION
AND IF I FOLLOWED MINDLESSLY
AND GOT WHAT I DESERVED

BIT BY BIT MY DIGNITY
SUFFERED WITHOUT MENTION
AT EVERY OPPORTUNITY
I LOST MY NERVE

NOW I DON'T WANT TO PLAY THE VICTIM
YOU CAN'T TAKE WHAT I DON'T GIVE
BUT THIS MISTAKE HAS SERVED ITS PURPOSE
BABY, NOW IT'S TIME TO LIVE

I WANT TO THANK YOU
FOR STEPPING ON MY HEART
FOR TEARING ME APART
FOR EVERY OUNCE OF PAIN YOU PUT ME THROUGH
THANK YOU, YOU THOUGHT THAT I WAS BEAT
BUT NOW I FOUND MY FEET
AND FINALLY GOT A STRENGTH I NEVER KNEW
THANK YOU -- I WANT TO THANK YOU

AND NOW I AM FREE TO LOVE AGAIN
AND I DO BELIEVE I'LL TRUST AGAIN
NEXT TIME AROUND I WON'T CHOOSE ANOTHER YOU
I SWEAR IT'S TRUE

OH --OH
OH...

YOU HAD ME WHERE YOU WANTED ME
WRAPPED AROUND YOUR FINGER
I THOUGHT THAT YOU WERE PROBABLY
THE BEST THAT I COULD DO
