HOME THIS CHRISTMAS TIME

"Home This Christmas TIme"

Hi everybody! It's been a while. Since I last posted, we've seen Mother Natures Super Storm Sandy and   all her fury bring the Caribbean Islands and the north east of the United States to their knees. A lone, disturbed young man take the lives of innocent children along with their teachers in a sleepy little town in Connecticut and finally the "End of the World As We  Know It" come and go... or perhaps for some, that's precisely what it was. Lately, more so than usual, I count my blessings. Truly.

That said, while we're all busy running to holiday parties, shopping then wrapping gifts for our loved ones, I wanted to say thank you to my fans this year with a little Christmas song I wrote a couple of years back for my friend Glen Burtnick's X-Mas Extranvaga. 

‘Home This Christmas Time,’ a personal call to help those in need this holiday season, especially my fellow Staten Islanders and our neighbors who have been impacted by Hurricane Sandy.

So rather than ask for $.99 for a download on iTunes, Amazon, etc., please give it a listen on either Spotify orhttp://www.steveaugeri.com/#!music, and if the spirit of the season and the song moves you, please find it in your hearts to donate that $.99 to a charity of your choice. In case you need a suggestion or two, here are a few I am calling attention to this Christmas for personal reasons:

Making Strides Against Breast Cancer, Journey to the Cure, The Guild for Exceptional Children, The North Shore Animal League and the Stephen Siller Tunnel To Towers Foundation.

Thank you for taking the time reading this and have yourselves a very, Merry Christmas! Here's to a kinder, gentler New Year:-)

RICH MAN"S WORLD

RICH MAN'S WORLD

What makes one man love the other hate?

What makes one man give the other take?

Empty is the heart that loves too fast 

Fear can make his first his last

Why is one content, the next, he seeks?

Oh, Take or leave it , yeah yeah

What would you do for the love of money?

Living in a Rich Man's World

Cause,you'll need it yeah, yeah

Baby, It's all for the love of money.

Living in a Rich Man's World

Well, alright!

What makes one man rise up to the test?

And the next he falls down to his knees?

Guilty is the heart that runs too fast 

Moving on onto the next, Oh

Why does one man strike

The other bleed?

Take or leave it , Yeah Yeah!

What would you do for the love of money?

Living in a Rich Man's World

Cause, you'll need it Yeah, Yeah!

How far would you stoop for the love of money?

Living in a Rich Man's World

Best believe it, Yeah, Yeah! 

Baby, It's all for the love of money

Living in A Rich Man's World

Alright! 

Take or leave it , Yeah Yeah!

What would you do for the love of money?

Living in a Rich Man's World

Cause, you'll need it Yeah, Yeah!

How far would you stoop for the love of money?

Living in a Rich Man's World

When you need, Yeah, Yeah! 

Girl, who would you do for the love of money?

Living in A Rich Man's World

Well, baby' it's all for the love of money.

Living in a Rich Man's World

One day baby, one day

Living In A Rich Man's World!

Someday baby, Someday 

Living In A Rich Man's World!

Veterans Day 2012

Good morning America how are you?

Dear American veterans, both still with us and now departed, thank you for your service to my country and for fighting for the freedom I today enjoy as well as my family, friends and fellow country men. To my Uncle Andrew, my cousin Richard and to the other brave men and women in uniform whom I've had the honor of meeting throughout my civilian lifetime, either all too young or gratefully old. To a world when we never need your services again yet thankful, if we did, somehow you find the courage to be there at the ready. Thank you veterans this Veterans Day 2012.

Hours In The Day

Hours In The Day

Been some time since it began

This mystery, I can't explain

How she helps ease the pain

I've come to know so well

Wait for me, I'm fading fast

Hold on tightly and make it last

Ooh, this power she has

She gives me Strength

The power's in the heart

The fire that ignites the spark

Can't find the words to say

No hours in the day

Love, that of a speeding train

I reach out through the pouring rain

Tried it time and again

Try put you into words

At a loss, I've met my match

I confess, I admit to that

Times right now, now I can

I've got to let you know

The power's In the heart

The fire that ignites the spark

Can't find the words to say

No hours in the day

It echoes thru the dark

The sun, the moon and and every star

Can't find the words to say.

No Hours in the day

Oh, an emotion you can't pretend

It's your glittering prize

It's your true heart

The letter you never sent

You still hold in your hand

Loved you the day that you darkened my door

Loved you the day that you brightened my door
