lyrics

What is the reason, I feel this way?
Is it the season? It's dragging me down
I don't have an excuse, there's no one to blame
I feel like a failure, and I'm so ashamed

Why this, why now?
We made it through everything, thought we make it through somehow
Why you why me?
When the end is near, forget philosophy.

Why is the reason, how it comes to this?
Here I am leaving, and there you sit
I don't have an excuse, but it's just so hard
To watch all our things move
From where they belong

Why this why now?
We'd made it through everything, thought we'd make it through somehow
Why you? Why me?
When the end is near for get philosophy.

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

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
