Someone mentioned to me during this last rotation period that the problem with my songs is that my lyrics aren’t emotional enough. Maybe this will do the trick. 🙂

This one’s pretty simple. Have you ever had a moment in a relationship where someone acts so far beyond the pale that it changes how you view them permanently? That’s pretty much what this song is about. I see through you now, and you’re not getting back to where you were. I might not shut it all down right this second, but it’s the beginning of the end.

I’ve taken off “Where I Belong” this week.

Thanks for checking out the site.

This is one that I rescued in the song restoration process five years ago. The original had all sorts of speed issues and a really bad bridge. It got better with a new bridge.

 

We took off “You’re Not It” this week. Thanks for listening.

I think this is the first song I’ve posted from a relationship that sort of changed my life, years ago. The end of that thing resulted in a batch of 10 songs that I’ve long referred to as my best work. It feels like they’ve held up over the years.

This one is about the effective goodbye. And she said just what I wrote—take me home, I’m sorry, but it’s what we have to do. She made the right choice.

She’s a good person. I hope she’s doing well. I seriously doubt she’s on this site.

I took off “I’d Rather Be Anywhere.”

This is definitely my most polarizing song–people have both really loved and really hated this one. It came from an interview I read with someone, where they were referencing lifting themselves up from a crushing burden.

 

We took off “You’re So Smart” this week. Thanks for listening.

I still feel this one, even though it goes back a long ways. You can apply this to anyone who ever made it all about them, who didn’t support you, and who clearly wrestled with narcissism and BPD. The psychological term is “crazy-making behavior,” and this person created it very well. It lives in song.

We took off “It Gets Better” this week. Thanks for listening.
