Frequent Walker

wendellsweet7 March 8, 2026

Frequent Walker is a song I wrote about drugs and my time spent in that life and how it affected me and what I felt like.

Song Title: Frequent Walker Style: Alternative

Verse One:

In this world… time moves by… doesn’t stop for you or me… The ones who stop and wait are the ones who never see… So my feet… move me on… though they’re weary of this flight… They will lead me to tomorrow, wipe the fallen from my sight…

Instrumental—————Short lead transition—————————————————–

Hook:

Pick me up… Fill my cup… Fix the damage in my head… Fill my soul… Make me whole… Raise me from the dead… Show my eyes what can be… shine your light so I can see…

Verse Two:

In my life… I have seen… distant dreams of futures past… And the one who filled my cup left it empty at the last… And my eyes… tired from sight… rimmed in red and slow to see… Can’t conceive eternity from the edge of what can be…

Instrumental—————Short lead transition—————————————————–

Hook:

Pick me up… Fill my cup… Fix the damage in my head… Fill my soul… Make me whole… Raise me from the dead… Show my eyes what can be… shine your light so I can see…

Verse Three:

Walk alone… Through this world… Through this cold I’ve always known… Taking only what I need from the seed that has been sown… And this world… sells itself… pretty dreams that can not be… And though we stop to look we can never truly see…

Instrumental————— Long Lead —————————————————————-

Verse Four:

Take my time… tap the glass… raise the bubbles from my cure… Pull the curtains on my pasts… and all I thought they ever were… As my soul… Finds its way… push the darkness from my mind… Lay your words upon my heart as my rest I go to find…

Instrumental—————Short lead transition—————————————————–

Hook

Pick me up… Fill my cup… Fix the damage in my head… Fill my soul… Make me whole… Raise me from the dead… Show my eyes what can be… shine your light so I can see… Verse Five: Let my heart… lead me on… from your memories in my mind… lay your coins upon my eyes… speak your magic line by line… As my sun… slowly sets… I will try not to forget… all the lessons from this world and the souls that I have met…

Instrumental—————Short lead transition—————————————————–

Hook / Xtro:

Pick me up… Fill my cup… Fix the damage in my head… Fill my soul… Make me whole… Raise me from the dead… Show my eyes what can be… shine your light so I can see… which way to walk…

Why I Wrote It: I wrote this song in one shot, most of it came as fast as I could write it. I understood what it was as I wrote it, although the lyrics are slightly obscure, or seemed to me to be (I’ve since been told by readers that it’s not so obscure but pretty straight forward.). It’s about my life ending of course. Flirtation with suicide. Drug use. Disillusionment with the world, religion, society on every level. I spent a lot of my life that way. When I was on the streets for two years this is the way, I looked at the world. Cynical, glass half full. I tried suicide, nearly succeeded. I thought how nice it would be to lay down and pull the plug. That is what this song is about. I’m not there anymore. I don’t want to encourage anyone to be there either, but some of us spent years there and never talked about it…

The Franken SG Guitar Build

wendellsweet7 February 23, 2026

A closer look at the Franken SG build. I did not get to play this guitar much as the first time I posted images of it was sold. As with anything I build I took it for a spin and I loved the way it played.

The Scrapwood SG was a super short scale build which made it seem super fast when playing A LEAD PIECE. this has an extended 25.5 scale and feels like you can play forever going up that neck.
The two models are Shell And Christine. Real people. I am not in the video at all but a 3D model of my 1972 Challenger build is. I build 3D models and bring them to life driving them in RS a 3D game building app. I hope you enjoy the video. It is Sunday and NYC is getting pummeled with snow. Coming down fast and the predictions for the city are up to 2 feet. Hopefully not. There is nowhere to put it…

Self Penned Music: War at Home

Self Penned Music: War at Home

War at home. This is a song I wrote about war. As a young man I saw the daily updates from Vietnam. They were not censored. We saw horrible things and really looked into the eye of the cost of war, to people, to soldiers, to a country, to two countries…
I can remember Walter Cronkite coming on and saying send your children out of the room, the following will be graphic. That formed my opinion of war. Years later, in prison, I joined the V.V.A. because I was Vietnam era even though I never went to Vietnam. I heard the stories. I cried with some of those vets and the things they went through in-country and then again when they came home to a country that had disowned them. A country that6 believed what they saw on television without context. Context to show the situations they were in. Sincerely, there were men and women imprisoned because of what they were taught to do. It wasn’t right.

Now I see men and women come home from war with horrific P.T.S.D. injuries that are physical and emotional. Injuries that scar them deeply. And for the most part? They are on their own. Try harder to understand them as real people. Help when you can, please.

The song is copyrighted with B.M.I 2012. It was written in 2009. It is my opinion of what war is in a world measured by what can be taken regardless of what it does to people…

The models are Amber smith and Shell. Shell is my Ex, Amber is my wife. The players are me, imposed over the other scenes… I hope you get something from this…
