The Critic On The Balcony

<h3> The Critic On The Balcony </h3> </a> <blockquote> He’s the critic on the balcony always seems to have advice for me I can’t hear my thoughts over that noise I can’t drown out that inner voice </blockquote> Well I’m drowning in a sea of I shouldn’t haves I forgot three chords in the second half Done nothing right everything went wrong I forgot the third verse of the song I should be singing for you I’m tryin’ to silence him worrying about the tricky parts at the end Well I’m worrying about chords and fingerings Those same old doubts are still lingering <blockquote> Chorus </blockquote> I’m not good enough I should have practiced more I’m up on stage but what am I here for Cheap knockoff songs and a cheap guitar Low budget clothes I’m a low budget star There are better singers almost everywhere i’m sure there’re better pickers sittin’ right out there When they gave out talent I was last in line they ran out of supplies just when it was my time <blockquote> Chorus </blockquote> But When I get to that place where everything’s flowing I dwell in a space that’s way beyond knowing I ignore his face and feel the glow in yours I let go of my fears and they fall to the floor when you clap your hands and sing with me I feel like I’m a king and we’re all royalty The stage disappears and you’re not fans We’re all members of the world’s biggest band <blockquote> Chorus </blockquote> It’s so easy to stomp on your own dreams So easy to pull yourself apart at the seams And that inner voice is their to shout you down To crush every little bit of joy that you’ve found Now you may not sing and you may not play But there’s something that you love and do every day I’m sure he shows up there now and again Trust me when I say to hell with him <blockquote> He’s the critic on the balcony Doesn’t have a thing to offer me I can’t hear his voice it’s all just noise He can’t drown out my inner joy </blockquote> Download “<a href="http://www.…

(You're Just) Bad At Math

<h3> (You’re Just) Bad At Math </h3> </a> </center> …a really bad hip hop from bizarro world song, but a song none-the-less. <a name="a000532more"></a> <a id="more"></a> </div>…

I've got bad news...

<h3> <a href="http://www.pickabar.com/music/pickabar%20-%20youre%20dying.mp3">“You’re Dying”</a> </h3> </center> Lyrics if you keep reading… <a name="a000507more"></a> <a id="more"></a> You’re Dying A war against a concept in the name of self defense It’ll cost a trillion dollars but it doesn’t make a bit of sense They tell us to be wary of crimes terrorists may commit And they offer us a cure-all loyalty to the president <blockquote> But we’re all dying Anyone who says anything else is lying </blockquote> A war against substances in the name of public health But peak behind the curtains and you’ll see it’s all about wealth There’s money in new prisons and profit in new drugs A pill for every problem ten million alcoholics shrug <blockquote> Chorus </blockquote> A war against maturity fought with Botox and creams We’ve lost all sense of dignity we’ve forgotten what it means To grow old gracefully with head held up in pride At the wisdom and contentment that fills our hearts with time <blockquote> Chorus </blockquote> A war against reality superstition is our king Our eyes squeezed shut to avoid the truth that’s plain for all to see Well our time on this planet is over in a blink There’s no time for fantasies the end is closer than you think </div>…

Tiny Bites

<h3> <a href="http://www.pickabar.com/music/pickabar - tiny bites (filthy).mp3">Tiny Bites</a> </h3> </center> The mix is actually pretty crappy…way too bassy. You should probably turn down the volume before you listen to it. I was going to adjust it, but unfortunately, I screwed up and lost most of my plugin settings…and I’m way too lazy to start over from scratch. Oh well, enjoy anyway as best you can. Lyrics after the fold!…

There's Away

<h1> There’s Away </h1> </a> by Gerrard</center> Right about the time when the spell was being broken, and the craft portion of the songwriting was beginning, <a href="/sumr">Sarah</a> came home from Bellydancing. She opened the door and I remembered how great being an adult can be, even if it’s not exactly like your teenage dreams. Write a song, kiss your girlfriend, and poof the melancholy is gone!…
