Cheapest air to breathe

Eve and I were travelling in the Northern Territory a while back when the line "I'm not a love song kind of guy" came to me. I thought it was such an obvious title for a country song that there must be a few songs like it around. As best I could I searched for and failed to find those songs. I figured that the song needed to exist so I thought I'd better write it. This is what I came up with.

Verse 1
I started writing songs some time ago
Don't know why I guess that I just decided to give it a go
I would write about this or that anything i could
I didn't know and hardly cared if it was any good
But I never touched the theme of love, I really don't know why
It occurred to me I might not be a love song kind of guy

Verse 2
At first that didn't bother me, I had a lot to say
Just me and this old guitar, I was still learning to play
But as I learned to weave my words between and around a tune
I'd try my hand at a song of love but it always seemed too soon
Over time it became a missing piece - something I could not deny
By and by I decided I'm not a love song kind of guy


Bridge
I'm inclined to write a line to make you think or smile
Or find something in my words that'll make my song worthwhile
But when it comes to you and me all my words run dry
I guess I'm not a love song kind of guy

Verse 3
It all changed a while ago when everything turned real
Now it's important to me to express the way I feel
But I don't know how to say that your smile lights up my day
Or how much love I feel for you but don't have the words to say
I can't make the words work no matter how I try
I have to face that it's not my place to be a love song kind of guy

YOU'RE GOING NOWHERE

WITH ALL YOUR FEARS, WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
WITH ALL YOUR SORROWS, WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
¿ARE YOUR GODS BY YOUR SIDE?
¿WHO IS SITTING NEXT TO YOU?
WHERE DO YOU WANT TO ESCAPE TO?
WHEN THIS CITY IS BURNING
YOU HAVE TO HURRY, TIME IS RUNNING

YOU ARE GOING NOWHERE
YOU ARE GOING NOWHERE

FOLLOWING IDEAS
WHAT THEY SAY
SOUNDS VERY NICE
I WOULD LIKE TO GO TOO
MAKING YOU A SLAVE
MAKING YOU A FOOL
ALL THAT DRIVES YOU CRAZY
LIFE HAS NO RULES

YOU HAVE TO FREE YOUR MIND
AND GO NOWHERE

Nowhere

It's a cover of The Beatles classic I Am the Walrus.

LYRICS (Lennon/McCartney)

I am he as you are he, as you are me and we are all together.
See how they run like pigs from a gun. 
See how they fly.
I'm crying.
Sitting on a cornflake, waiting for the van to come.
Corporation tee-shirt, stupid bloody Tuesday.
Man, you been a naughty boy, you let your face grow long.

I am the eggman, they are the eggmen
I am the walrus, goo-goo g'joob.

Mister City policeman sitting pretty little policemen in a row.
See how they fly like Lucy in the Sky, see how they run
I'm crying, I'm crying.
I'm crying, I'm crying.

Yellow matter custard, dripping from a dead dog's eye 
Crabalocker fishwife, pornographic priestess.
Boy, you been a naughty girl. 
You let your knickers down.

I am the eggman, they are the eggmen
I am the walrus, goo-goo g'joob.

Sitting in an English garden waiting for the sun.
If the sun don't come, you get a tan from standing in the english rain.

I am the eggman, they are the eggmen
I am the walrus, goo-goo g'joob, g'goo goo g'joob.

Expert textpert choking smokers.
Don't you think the joker laughs at you?
See how they smile like pigs in a sty, see how they snied.
I'm crying.

Semolina pilchard, climbing up the Eiffel Tower.
Elementary penguin singing Hari Krishna
Man, you should have seen them kicking Edgar-Allan-Poe.

I am the eggman, they are the eggmen
I am the walrus, goo-goo g'joob, g'goo goo g'joob
Goo goo g'joob, g'goo goo g'joob, g'goo...

The Abyss of life

"Incertidumbre" is a song I wrote in a moment of deep doubt. The lyrics say exactly what I felt: the more I knew, the more questions I had. It’s not a song with answers. It’s more like admitting out loud that I don’t know.

It talks about feeling broken inside even when everything looks fine on the outside. About not knowing if you’ll ever be happy, but still leaving a bit of space to believe you might be.

The samurai and shogun metaphor reflects how we sometimes act like we’re in control, when deep down we know we’re not. And swimming in a world of fantasy isn’t a choice — it’s just how it feels inside.

I didn’t try to make it pretty. I just said it the way it came out. And I still feel that way.

Incertidumbre

I write songs.  I'm not a performer any more than I need to be to have my songs heard once in a while. I hope that better musicians than I encounter my songs and decide to play them.  I just write songs to have them exist in the world. If the world likes them then the world can do with them what it will.  All these recordings are demos.  I've tried to make them as musically interesting as I can but they are all awaiting the skilled hand of someone who knows how to make songs shine.
