Desert Stories was my first Singer-Songwriter Album. The Songs were written over decades prior to the release on line in 2023. It is available & ignored EVERYWHERE, & free on YouTube Music & Without You was one of the first videos made. Since its release it has had only a few handfuls of streams. It exists as does a lifetime of work somewhere down a lonesome road in the Sonoran Desertion in a remote corner of cyberspace (I believe the lyrics are on Apple Music as typed in on TuneCore, unless that was monetized, & also. lost somewhere... ) My personal favorites are New Mexico of the Mind, Wild Horses Anymore, The Brass Ring, & Everything is Fine.

(Since my discovery of Nightbirde in December late 2025, I have been working on a song... that has been a challenging & very complicated lyrical, musical, recording, mixing, mastering experience, with up to 39 tracks used for recording  & then combined and concentrated down to the 24 final mixing and mastering tracks, & with tons of critically listening & with multiple nano second precision redone, &  added to with instuments i ordered just in time for the next recording session & did not really know how to initially use, to complete the soundtrack & that was in my mind, & heart & into my hands to complete the project..now completed...

Odie at Abcat Studio is a genius & we worked on this like crazy one second at a time, recorded/mixed/mastered > Repeat so many times we kinda lost count (39???) I asked Odie to add a bass track... the rest was me... I have learned so much from Odie, that at times we don't have to speak, after 27+ years & at present although he is the genius of recording, mixng,& mastering. I have earned assistant sound engineering status in credits. THANK YOU BROTHER ODIE...  WE DID IT AGAIN !

Released August 24, 2026 but PLEASE DON"T listen to it UNTIL you have experienced what I did, in December

Nightbirds ©℗ 2026  Kenneth Arthur Harris     

 

Somehow I heard them singing   

By my window all night long                   

I thought I must be dreaming 

Of a sunrise morning song                                     

   

When I got up at 3 am           

And I was not alone

They were singing their hearts out                   

Thru the darkest hours 

Before the dawn


 

And hard times come 

And hard times go

It’s ok ‘cause now I know 

Nightbirds sing 

All night long 

Thru the darkest hours 

Before the dawn                                                            


 

Nightbirds were singing    

By my window all night long  

I wanted to be one of them 

My hard times to be gone


 

Although I was a little lost

So much depends upon

Deciding to be happy

Thru the darkest hours 

Before the dawn 


 

And hard times come 

And hard times go

It’s ok ‘cause I now I know

Nightbirds sing 

All night long 

Thru the darkest hours 

Before the dawn  


 

And I’m not waiting anymore 

For hard times to be gone 

No I’m not waiting anymore 

To sing a Nightbird Song   

                

Nightbirds were singing 

By my window all night long 

I decided to be happy 

To sing a Nightbird song 

I decided to be happy 

To sing a Nightbird song                                


 

Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh

Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh

Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh

 

It’s ok it’s alright

To sing my song 

Thru the darkest night 

It’s ok it’s alright

To sing my song 

Thru the night 

 

It’s ok it’s ok it’s alright it’s alright 

It’s ok it’s ok it’s alright it’s alright 

It’s ok it’s ok it’s alright it’s alright 

It’s ok it’s ok it’s alright it’s alright 

It’s ok
