The nothing is wrong blues

Someday, if things go well, I’m going to write the nothing is wrong blues
Long after a certain drama queen we all know will have stopped dominating the news.

I just won't know how to negotiate these days that are so long.
It’s not easy singing the blues when there’s nothing wrong.

When the soul troller came to town, we really got to know our neighbors more.
Now, though, they're back the way they were, which is actually kind of a bore.

Life was interesting when that man put on his apprentice show.
Why he could do anything; there was nothing he did not know.

He was the epitome of perfection; he was the end,
so fantastically great that we'd never need vote again,

who was going to take care of all decisions automatically
and forget all that nonsense about rank democracy.

His was a vision of Aryan Supremacy and a divine autocracy
to replace 250 years of  constitutional republican democracy.

And there we were about to sign on the dotted line.
And then we had an epiphany some said was fine.

For all the shortcomings of democracy, there is one nice feature.
You can always say no thank you, next please, to the creature

who would con us with his gimmicks that sort of resemble gold
but is really a bag of tricks played upon fools young and old.

And so here I am again singing the nothing is wrong blues
which will last a long time or until I go look at the news.

I was angry with my friend;
I told my wrath, my wrath did end.
I was angry with my foe:
I told it not, my wrath did grow.

And I waterd it in fears,
Night & morning with my tears:
And I sunned it with smiles,
And with soft deceitful wiles.

And it grew both day and night.
Till it bore an apple bright.
And my foe beheld it shine,
And he knew that it was mine.

And into my garden stole,
When the night had veild the pole;
In the morning glad I see;
My foe outstretched beneath the tree.

- William Blake (1794)

A Poison Tree

Look here, brother.

I'm not trying to jive you with any sort of cosmic debris,
'cause I have no clue  either, you see.

Please don't be so hard on stupidity.
I suspect the best that humanity

can achieve is a strategy
in which we are aware of and minimize mine and yours, stupidity,

while grasping there's no finality
but rather on ongoing effort that we

endeavor within a strategy
to minimize our stupidity.

Our stupidity,
oh yah, is alive in you and in me, our stupidity.

Now I rather suspect the very best that the very best that humanity
can achieve is a strategy

to be aware of and therefore minimize stupidity
In you and me. Oh yeah, in you and me.

Lyrics

I need a check up, 
From the neck up,
I've had these feelings, 
Since my heart went boom!

I've felt elation, 
Tried meditation, 
Opened up the curtains, 
To let light in to the room!

BAD DA BAH DA BAH,   Catch me if… You seen me fallin'
BAH DA BAH DA, Listen out… Incase I'm callin',
BAD DA BAH DA BAH, Hold me close… The night is callin',
BAD DA BAH DA, Don’t let go… The dark is stallin'.

I crossed my fingers, 
Your perfume lingers,
I told you somethings,
Just a little too soon.

You stroked my ego,
Now where do we go,
A sense of panic, 
As you leave the room.

Well holy crap,
I've been living in denial, 
I didn't hear the lies,
Hidden by your smile.

I feel mistreated, 
The fact you cheated,
I must admit,
You did it with style.

BAD DA BAH DA BAH,   Catch me if… You seen me fallin'
BAH DA BAH DA, Listen out… Incase I'm callin',
BAD DA BAH DA BAH, Hold me close… The night is callin',
BAD DA BAH DA, Don’t let go… The dark is stallin'.

Holding on,
While I'm acting frantic, 
It ain't my fault, 
If I've got monkeys in the attic. 
I need a check up,
From the neck up,
I've had these feelings, 
Since my heart went boom!

CHECK UP, FROM THE NECK UP!" is a raw and raucous burst of punk energy,  a headrush of riffs, regret, and emotional mayhem. With sharp lyrics, a pounding chorus, and enough angst to rattle the rafters, this track dives into heartbreak, denial, and that creeping sense you're losing your grip. If you’ve ever felt like your brain needs a service after your heart takes a hit — this one's for you.

Turn it up, shout it loud, and hold on tight — it’s punk therapy, DC Sound Project style.

CHECK UP, FROM THE NECK UP!

Hi ... and yes I am 63 and I love to sing Karaoke!  I have loved singing my whole life and I find it a good avenue to help me in dealing with my mental health.  It somehow grounds me and helps me get through my day.   I have learned to play many different kinds of instruments during my experiences and, Like most,  wish my voice was one of my better instruments; but regardless, I do get enjoyment out of it.  So if you are interested in putting a smile on your face, getting a chuckle, or shedding a tear, give it a listen ...  and if you want ... sing along, before you know it that humming will be making you feel a little bit better too.
