MUSIC and the SOUL

music of rick calderone, steve parrish, michele statt

entrenched/frenetic

Butterflies attack, I’m on an unfriendly stage

Marionette reaction, they’re all the rage

Visceral feelings outside my little lot

Telling me what I am and what I am not

 

Don’t go (tell me again)

Don’t know (if and when)

Don’t go (are we still friends?)

Don’t show (the meaning then)

Don’t go, Don’t go…

 

Butterflies are back, now inside my aching head

Rewind replay all the things we should’ve said

Tiptoe through structure of little or no support

The puppet strings are a balance to port

 

Think slowly, catch my breath…

Am I so lowly, so close to death?

No, I don’t think so. But, you’re the one who says it’s so

I’ll get up again, I’ll stand up again, You’ll bring it up again

And you who knows so much can strike the deepest the deepest the deepest conversation

Or at least you can just strike deep and demand demand demand demand

You’re just a stones throw away…just a stones throw away

just a stones throw away…so throw away

Another glass house.

Another glass house.

Another glass house.

Just one more house…

 

thoughts

in houses of religious and political debate, we oftentimes argue less with fact than with emotion...if we could focus the passion to find the kernal of truth rather than win the argument, that might be a good thing..maybe not

i had intended to leave this an instrumental, but wanted to try a slightly different vocal approach, so we experimented in this song with a soliloquy for the transition...i would call this a "b side" tune because it sat in a stack of "whatshouldwedowiththisone"  (although i'm sure most of my songs might be considered in this category) 

 i left this song with the lead in "click" still attached for grins...when doing the song in the studio, you "play" to that click throughout and paintbrush the other instruments in layers...

the guitar out is the "frenetic" part, the electrical synapses of ordered thought trying to recapture themselves in social finger movements...
