Don’t forget me
As the way I am now
Don’t regret me
Many years from now
Don’t be lonely
When I’m under the ground

You Took Me to a Bar

You took me to a bar
As we crossed an old parking lot
There was a neon sign that lit up in the night
In the shape of a beer and cigar
Through the window I saw
A girl playing pool at the bar
And she glanced back at me and then went back to drinking
When you said come on, let’s go
And I never felt more alive
And that was the best night of my life
If I could, then I would go back
But I can’t
The next night you took me out
To a restaurant in town
Where we met up with friends
And we laughed and pretend
That we’re never getting out
You gave me look that said
“I know that this all has to end”
And I knew it too and it hurt me and you
So, we made an excuse and left
So, you drove me around
And you cried while I tried not to shout
If I could I’d stay forever
But I can’t

The Passage of Time

Time
Like a heavy sound
Like a thud hitting the ground
Old age
Like a broken record
Does my song still sound good to you?
Do you love me?
Do you love me…?

Midlife Crisis

Don’t despair
When I’m the first asleep
When I’m tired
And all worn out
And the kids are out of the house
Don’t cry
When I’m hollow
Don’t fear
When I’m losing it
Just take me for a ride into the night
Take me home…
Would you lie awake with me?
While I drive the car?
And we’ll drive into the dark
Like the nights to Massachusetts
If I had enough time
I’d drive through the night
All night long
“The gift of memory’s an awful curse…”

How do I
End this song
When this one chord keeps strumming along?
Like a weight resting on your chest
When your heart breaks like a dam
How do I
Show you that
The passage of time is a flooded mess?
And I feel like I’m strung along
In a current in a river during a storm
And the rain
Like a relentless chime
Where its soft ringing overwhelms my mind
How do I tell our children that?
How I love you to the moon and back?
So, tell me?
How do I end this song?
What can I say that means something?

Always East Rutherford, New Jersey
Always is a bucket list project. The project was done on a recording budget of ~$300 and with some leftover instruments and microphones accumulated over the years. Always: Songs Your Parents Played is a project about running out of time and dealing with growing old. I hope its raw and simple music relates to the feeling of trying to do as much as you can with the little you have left. ... more
