I wrote and performed this at an art event featuring my friend's paintings. The song explains itself. Hope you enjoy and comment kindly.

I live in a place that is so amazingly beautiful that in 15 minutes I can turn 360 degrees taking photos the whole time and always have something wonderful to look at. I love my Sonoran Desert home.

I wrote and recorded this at a studio in Rockton Illinois during the same sessions that produced "Goodbye" which I posted last weekend. The photos were taken in Bisbee Arizona.

let your soul shine sunshine along the way

With every one you meet and every word you say

Love's gonna bring you up today"

I had the honor of being the Worship Pastor at Aldea Spiritual Community in Tucson Arizona for 5 years. While there we recorded several of my original songs. This happy tune is one of them.

The Combo used to play a very small nightclub in Tucson a few times a week. Alfie's Pub was in a rough area and a colorful little dive. I loved it. Sadly, it is no more. Late one night we made this song up on the spot.

I wrote the song attitude problem 30 years ago. According to my agent it is number 81 on the college charts this week. Life just gets stranger as it goes.

A psychedelic worship song I produced with musicians Kyle Cairy and Jeanne Withrow years ago. I wrote this straight from 2nd Chronicles where the Temple is dedicated by King Solomon.

This is a rehearsal recording from the day I taught the Combo this song. The mix is straight from the board and not perfect by any stretch. I will probably never record another version of it so I leave it here for your listening pleasure. The lyrics are from the point of view of a man in love with a drug addict. Not exactly light stuff.

At the time the Mark Archambault Combo was...

Rob Curcio- Bass

Mike Brennan- Drums

Clay Brown- Sax

Mark- Guitar/Vocal

Crying

(Archambault)

When I hold you I can't understand

I can build my world around you and doing everything I can

While you're thinking 'bout another high

How can something that you're smoking

Be more important than the love I provide?

I'm pleading with you baby let me be your everything

You know that I want you more than anything

But the way you make me feel is a crying shame

While I'm thinking 'bout nobody, nobody but you

You're thinking of the next time you're gonna do what you do

 I'm pleading with you baby let me be your everything

Can't you hear me crying?  

Listen to me baby I only want to cover you

Listen to me baby I'm here to see you through

 I'm pleading with you baby let me be your everything

Can't you hear me crying?  

Listen to me baby I only want to cover you

Listen to me baby I'm here to see you through

I Still Do

(Archambault)

Staring off into space

Thinking I might have something to say

It's been weeks and weeks and weeks of days

Trying to figure this out

Now up is up and down is down

I know what this is all about

....and I need to tell you

If I ever loved you

I still do

If you're my mom or your my dad

Or the first girlfriend I ever had

If you're my son or you're my wife

Or anyone that soaked into the grain of my life

I can't let go, fall out, unlove

Don't try to figure me outI can't make my heart use common sense

Because love isn't common it's true

...and I need to tell you

If I ever loved you

I still do

Marry me, give birth to me, walk with me, teach me, hold me

Love me

I still do

Boomerang Girl was written for a television program. The lyrics make sense in context, but are meaningless without. This hastily recorded demo was my inspired contribution. The producer hated it and it has remained orphaned on a hard drive for years.

Boomerang Girl

(Archambault)

"I've got a friend named John

Who wants a boomerang girl

For all the things that he's done

To drive him out of this world

He's got real big plans

To be a great big star

To have boomerang women

And a great big car"

Poetry!

My desert Christmas song

Seems Like Christmas

(Archambault)

I hear "Walking in a Winter Wonderland"

Blasting from an open top Jeep

Seems like Christmas to me

Plastic snowmen in the sand

And lights on a cactus tree

Seems like Christmas to me

I know Santa will find my double-wide

Stocked with cookies and cake

Where the coyotes howl out "Deck the Halls" and "Jingle All the Way"

Quail are dancing in the yard

Snakes rattle out the beat

Seems like Christmas to me

Mistletoe hangs from a mesquite tree

As I kiss you tenderly

Perfect Christmas to me

Seems like Christmas to me
