lyrics

Nobody told you life was easy
Nobody promised you a taste
Above and beyond what you have worked for
Above and beyond this mess you've made

Nobody told you you were different
Nobody promised you'd be free
To do what you want while others feed you
And make sure you have all that you need

Cause I know how good it could be
If your eyes were on the prize
I'm already lonely
When I look into your eyes
But I get so damned frustrated
Cause I'm not supposed to say
Stand here looking backward
While you waste your time
While you waste your time away

What can I say? I love everything he does! Brilliant songwriter, producer and performer. I actually cried the first time I saw him perform. Felt silly until I saw girl next to me was crying as well! Lobelia

Great new release by the very prolific and lovely Steve Lawson. I liked his improv so much that I married it. ;) Lobelia

FingerPainting

I listened to a lot of Steve Lawson's music before buying any. So easy to play in the background while browsing on the iPad. So many moods and good to hear it coming as played live. He gets a lot from a bass and its in HD flac. It was time to catch up on buying... Alan Hall

Artic is burning... just realized I have listened to the opening track many times but didn’t realize it was on this collection. Now, I’m going to listen more carefully to the rest of the tracks. Thanks! Dirk Frey
