MUSIC and the SOUL

music of rick calderone, steve parrish, michele statt

are you serious?

IT SOUNDS PRETTY GOOD BUT DON’T TEMPT ME

CAUSE MAYBE I WOULD BUT DON’T TEMPT ME

 

ARE YOU SERIOUS?

IF I LEFT FOR A NIGHT AND CAME BACK

YOU’D BE FURIOUS

BUT YOU’D BE CURIOUS TO SEE WHY I LEFT YOU

AND IF I CAME BACK WOULD I BE ABLE TO EXPLAIN THAT

AND IF I CAME BACK WOULD I BE ABLE TO EXPLAIN THAT

 

THERE’S NO WAY NOR WOULD I WANT TO

IT’S YOUR WAY I DON’T THINK I WANT YOU

GO AWAY I HOPE I CAN HAUNT YOU

ARE YOU FOR REAL?

 

AN APOLOGY HERE WOULD BE NICE

BUT I’M NOT BEGGING FOR ONE, IT’D BE NICE

 

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

IF YOU THOUGHT I THINK LIKE YOU THINK I’D BE DEAD

YOU’D GET RID OF ME

BUT IT’S KILLING ME TO TRY AND BE LIKE THAT

AND IF I CHANGED WOULD I BE ABLE TO CHANGE BACK

AND IF I CHANGED WOULD I BE ABLE TO CHANGE BACK

 

THERE’S NO WAY NOR WOULD I WANT TO

IT’S YOUR WAY I DON’T THINK I WANT YOU

GO AWAY I HOPE I CAN HAUNT YOU

ARE YOU FOR REAL?

 

MY FRIENDS ALL SAY I’M STUPID

THEY’RE ALL PRETTY SMART, SO I’M STUPID

 

IT’S PITIFUL

TO THINK WHAT I HAD WRAPPED UP IN ONE HAND

SUBLIMINAL

WAS I A CRIMINAL TO TRY AND HAVE ALL THAT?

TO REACH THAT HIGH ONLY TO FALL FLAT

TO REACH THAT HIGH ONLY TO FALL FLAT

 

YOU TOOK AWAY THE PLANS FOR ME AND YOU

YOU TOOK AWAY THE CHANCE FOR ME TO BE TRUE

YOU BIND MY HANDS WHY WOULDN’T YOU

THIS IS NOT REAL

 

thoughts

i have sometimes been asked, in no uncertain terms, to "leave"...was wondering what would happen if i ever went through with it..

i've been lucky in life to have been surrounded by great people..friends and family alike, but most times, i don't think i live up to their levels...in times of insecurity, i sometimes visualize my friends shaking their heads and looking at me while they think.."Man! this guy's an idiot..."  

this is one of the songs we recorded separately on an ADAT at my brother Gary's house, with Joe engineering..we later mixed down in the studio..Michele does a great job feeling this song...
