OUT OF THE BLUE Trent Gardner / Robert Lamm ©2011 THERE’S A FIRE IN YOUR SOUL, BURNING IT’S A PICTURE, IT’S A SONG IN CREATING THERE IS LEARNING WHAT YOU KNEW ALL ALONG STILL, A NOBLE QUESTION LINGERS IS IT RIGHT OR IS IT WRONG? IN YOU’RE HEAD, YOUR HEART, YOUR FINGERS PRESENCE OF YOUR ABSENCE IS SO STRONG EVERYONE’S OBSESSED WITH TALKING EVERYWHERE USELESS CONVERSATION IN THE AIR OUT OF THE BLUE I HEARD A WHISPER I THOUGHT IT WAS YOU CAN’T BELIEVE HOW IT’S YOU CALLING ME NOW OUT OF THE BLUE A COSMIC MESSAGE LIGHT IS BLINKIING TILT MY EAR AND TURN MY HEAD I ALWAYS WONDER WHAT YOU’RE THINKING I HEAR MUSIC INSTEAD EVERYONE’S OBSESSED WITH TALKING EVERYWHERE OH! OUT OF THE BLUE OUT OF THE BLUE ALL WE ARE SEEING AND ALL THAT WE KNOW IS ALL ANCIENT DREAMING FROM WHEN WE WERE HERE LONG AGO I THOUGHT IT WAS YOU I CAN’T BELIEVE HOW IT’S YOU CALLING ME NOW

ARISE (STORM) Zosia Karbwiak / Robert Lamm ©2011 I can't believe my eyes I'm walking on the water Today I got two wings, I'm gonna chase the wind There's so much love around So many joyful sounds I take a bow, it's so allowed To cherish precious time... Now we try to realize How much love we have inside We can stand and stare but today we shall arise Sing as loud as you can Walk on the water like I walk today You will shine like a star The whole world will listen what You've got to say I used to live in fear For years each day would kill me Then I just said, "stop, surrender to the love" Now we try to realize How much love we have inside We can stand and stare but today we shall arise Sing as loud as you can Walk on the water like I walk today You will shine like a star The whole world will listen what You've got to say it's alright, it's OK don't be afraid, as long as I'm here You are safe. Sing as loud as you can Walk on the water like I walk today You will shine like a star The whole world will listen what You've got to say it's alright, it's OK And let the sunshine chase the storm away

LIVING PROOF Robert Lamm/Trent Gardner © 2009 How on earth did I find you? My paradise A minute later and I'm gone A different man I could see the worst in everyone A cynic, that's for sure Mysteries that I'll never know You are living proof of a perfect love Far beyond this world Darling, your light has saved me But this change will take time When the house was just us two So quiet – we missed the kids Mysteries that I'll never know You are living proof of a perfect love Far beyond this world Darling, your light has saved me But this change will take time Then you smiled And it got me thinking 'bout everything How it felt when we weren't sad like this Love was still so real All those memories came flooding back It was living proof Living proof... Mysteries that I'll never know You are living proof of a perfect love Far beyond this world Darling, your light has saved me But this change will take tim Living proof When I feel this passion everyday You're more beautiful You're more beautiful Intense emotions alive My heart is yours Forever keep this song as a living proof Take my heart and soul dear You've got living proof.

LIQUID SKY ©2011 R.Lamm/Z. Karbowiak verse:1 Pen and paper on my desk I want to write some words I got an empty head and nothing's coming out, no way Still miss your voice and touch It's decided I will pack my bags, clean the room, and book the flight (Yeah I'm coming home tonight) verse :2 It's 4 a.m. in Maine, I need to catch my plane Directly to your arms and in a hurry - up, ba-by Don't need a map no more I am guided With a photograph, bunch of keys, and letters Can't remember words we said that made us drift away chorus: I'll be there (I'll be there) To watch the falling stars (watch the falling stars) I'll be there (I'll be there) To see the liquid sky (to see the liquid sky) verse:3 I want a rush hour taxi I want a lot of things But you are all I need, and now I realize it, ba-bay It feels like wasted time I won’t fight it Cause I’m all about, who we are, together I will chase the sun, and catch you near the end of the day chorus: I'll be there (I'll be there) To watch the falling stars (watch the falling stars) I'll be there (I'll be there) To see the liquid sky (to see the liquid sky) bridge: When I touch the ground I will leave the plane And I will run to you Through the hazy park, Farmers Boulevard, Hollis Avenue Then I'll see you're home, and you all alone With a long lost smile on your face just waiting for me ...

about

Living Proof is filled with interesting lyrics and cutting edge music and is proof that Robert Lamm remains at his best, and raises the musical bar even higher since his previous release, “Subtlety and Passion”. In addition to the talents of Robert Lamm, the CD also features the excellence of long time collaborator Hank Linderman (Guitar/Vocals), Trent Gardner (Production/Trombone), and showcases the vocal talents and writing skills of rising star ZoSia Karbowiak as well as the talents of Jason Scheff and Drew Hester. But, what does this all amount to? Living Proof that Lamm’s creative juices still flow.

Robert Lamm (Blue Infinity Music Label) image

Robert Lamm (Blue Infinity Music Label) New York, New York

Robert Lamm’s intensity is refreshingly genuine. With a rich musical style and poignant lyricism, his stinging observations of life and society ring true. These memorable attributes are found not only in his numerous penned hits as founding member of Chicago, but in a solo career that is equally as prolific.

Robert’s solo work is symphonic in scope, yet understated in sophistication. ... more
