Here's the first complete song by my furry band, "The Paw Offs".

I wrote it way back in 2002, recorded it on my own and presented it to who had become my best furends, Belic Bear and his mate, K'gra. It popped in my head the day after we met, on a cold day in Boston. Our meeting was so powerful, the words just flowed out with the melody. I think it was the fastest song I ever wrote. It's about how I came to find his web group, The Furry Forest. A non flaming PG rated list of the most wonderful furs.

In the next few years, we grew even closer, met a lot of furs and made a lot of furends. One of who was a fellow musician. After jamming a few times and performing cover sets at some of Bear's get togethers, we decided to start recording as a band. Not sure if the band will ever perform live, but we did record a few songs. Unfortunalely this is the only complete one. :P

Now it's time to meet "The Paw Offs".
On guitars and vocals, BELIC BEAR
On bass guitar and vocals, SEDGE HARE
On drums, vocals & keyboards, yours truely. >"^_^"<

I sing lead on the verses and back-up vocals. Belic sings lead on the chorus.
This is a first draft mix, not the final, so it's a bit shakey.

Hope you all like it. >"^_^"<

Lyrics:

Wandering the night, sad and alone
Wide away, had no direction
Dragging my paws through the cover of darkness
i found myself deep in the woods
Followed a path that lead to a clearing
Near a lake, lit by the moon
Fell asleep to the song of crickets
But, I'd be awakened soon........

I heard them around me
The creatures, they found me
And my eyes had opened to their eyes upon me
Then I felt a large paw touch me on my shoulder
And a warm voice assured me not to be afraid............ He said

Welcome to the Furry Forest
Where you have strayed
We're all family in the Furry Forest
And we hope you'll stay

He took me into his embrace
With a big bear hug he made me feel welcomed
He introduced me to his mate
Princess K'gra, the warrior leopard
Suddenly a weight had be lifted
Overwhelmed my eyes in tears
I hugged back, my feelings were strong
Because it had been far too long

And then it, it hit me
This is where I was ment to be
And they all, all gathered
Around to hear my story
All the things that went wrong, I suffered for so long
So lost and happy to be found.....

He's Belic the Bear Knight of the Furry Forest!
With K'gra by his side
Guardian of the Furry Forest
And all who reside
Welcome to the Furry Forest
There's no more need to roam
There's a place for you in the Furry Forest

And I Am Home!
