Poet’s fire,
Guitar sweeps.
Emotional storms aplenty,
Darkness consummated.
Beauty evoked,
Traces of dreams
Sprinkled over
Murmuring voices.
Journey unveiled,
The Hollywood desire,
Long road from
Home carrying onward.
Story to a story,
Love within love,
The artists’ far
Reach
For highest erudition.
Peace for the
Ones who listen,
Quiet for those who
Sleep,
A voice for those
Who cannot express,
In amorous oceans deep.
My partner Johnny Saffire and I started our duo the Love Lyzardz several years back just talking about our musical interests in his apartment living room. Here we are with a demo out, an original single, and a Beatles cover song on the way. Some of our music takes from the darker side of the 60s/70s music with artists like Jim Morrison. His animal totem the lizard very much resonates with our duo’s spiritual purpose.
The lizard is a creature that is adaptive and can transcend hugely adverse circumstances. We are a duo that has done just that, having faced the difficulties of a modern and almost apocalyptic world, with a message all our own. The lizard has a shrewdness and an introverted character, and that is the spirit the Love Lyzardz embodies, a will to carry on in spite of harsh setbacks and weird tumbles through space and time, and a reflective soul. The lizard is also a symbol of rebirth. When it comes to the lives Johnny and I have lived, tough times always bring forth the seed of regeneration out of the hard ground.
One of the first demo songs “American Doll” mirrors parts of the Doors “The End” in its psychedelic and hard hitting melody, as an American girl struggles to live up to the men in her life who have shaped her world. She goes along, floating through the pink fantasy world that has been built for her and recollecting the struggle to be loved in a procession of men who fall for a woman merely because of her physical beauty.
It is the lizard we hold fast to, the one pitted for a stealthy escape, the ultimate survivalist in a world that shifts every microsecond. What is tilted swingsback the other way, as the music carries on. It is my hope that this art will be the equalizer of the rotating scales.
You’re a diamond so cool
Makes me wanna
Makes me wanna
Be like you.
Daddy’s pride
Drowning in your glassy eyes
That champagne soaked flag you wave
Makes me feel so brave.
American doll
It’s a long way patriot land
Cradled in your pink fantasies
Your pom poms drenched in diamonds
Makes me wanna be like you.
American doll
You’ve got it all
Bridled to a magazine cover
Your palm tree heaven
The glass you stroke
Makes me wanna be like you.
Diamonds reigning down
In broken shards
Evanescent love your calling card
That yearning burning fire you stoke
Sedate to love
You’ve got that diamond cool.
American doll
It’s a long way to patriot land
Cradled in your pink fantasies
Your pom poms drenched in diamonds
Makes me wanna be like you.

It seems that the rents are getting higher and higher in our building and my bf’s bonuses at Uber are being cut. We really want to be musicians, but it’s tough to try to do it in a city like SF that is all tech. We’ve been looking into getting a conversion van and traveling across the country. It’ll take several months of planning, but well worth it to live a dream we’ve been wanting to for a long time. There is a certain freedom that comes with going out on the road and playing music. For now, we’re working on some recordings. Stay tuned for more articles!
