I've always loved the Gertrude Stein quote 
“There ain't no answer.
There ain't gonna be any answer.
There never has been an answer.
There's your answer.”
I thought there might be a song in there somewhere.  When I came up with a chorus I was encouraged, but it took a while to turn it into a song.  Who knew that the piano would figure so prominently.

The Lyics:
You could be searching far and wide
At pretty great expense
Hoping to hear some magic words
That’ll finally make it all make sense

If you hear those words you will know the answer
And everything will work out fine
Nothing will ever be crazy again
Today was the very last time

I’ve heard it said that the answer’s out there
Hidden in plain site
Look hard enough and you might find it
On the other hand that might not be right 

I'm pretty sure 
There ain’t no answer
There never was
And never will be
That’s the answer, the whole damn answer 
And that’s ok with me

And if that's the only answer 
That we're ever going to get
We’re gunna have to find new questions
That we haven't asked quite yet 

Do you spend hours in meditation
Do you sit at the gurus feet
Has he shown you how to reach a higher plane
Is he the one that you were destined to meet

If he’s not, there’s always another
Out there in the great somewhere
Who’s knows the way to ever deeper places
If you find him he might take you there there

Are you quite sure that this is real
Is he worth everything you spent
So many gurus seem to misbehave
In ways you don’t expect from enlightenment    

I'm pretty sure 
There ain’t no answer
There never was
And never will be
That’s the answer, the whole damn answer 
And that’s ok with me

I'm pretty sure 
There ain’t no answer
There never was
And never will be
That’s the answer, the whole damn answer 
And that’s ok with me

I always wanted to know the what and how
Who and where and why
But when the questions are big enough
Answers are in short supply

I heard a while back that Gertude Stein
Proposed a different take on the grand design
Seemed clever - quite an insight 
It occurred to me that she might be right

I'm pretty sure 
There ain’t no answer
There never was
And never will be
That’s the answer, the whole damn answer 
And that’s ok with me

And if that's the only answer 
That we're ever going to get
Were gunna have to find new questions
That we haven't asked quite yet 

I'm pretty sure 
There ain’t no answer
There never was
And never will be
That’s the answer, the whole damn answer 
And that’s ok with me

Hello :) Here is a collection of my tunes & artworks spanning the years in which I've been a long-time poet, more recently lyricist & soundational explorer. Why ask why with sound? No delusion has been prescribed to me which I cannot pour into a cup we can share then someone complains of bitterness yet we're satiated. Why not dismiss the diss, exist? I expect nothing but to keep on in my cellular rhythm, a singular song that takes many forms. ❣️🎼🏵

NOTICE:

I do not pay for self promotion ever. 

That’s Pete and Pete, the original members, augmented with Spud, Pecos,  Snooks and Smooch. Pete and Pete were formally founder members of The Petes. The band like to explore a range of musical styles. They started out with folk, rock and blues but they have also been exploring a vocal style of lizard-lounge type jazz too - smoky and melodic. You’ll find love songs, both exuberant and elegiac, along with songs of loss, as well as songs lamenting the state of our world and our society.

Also The Pete Cooper Band’s first  album, ‘Let’s Make Love’ can be found on Spotify and YouTube.

I've been playing music for a while now and since corona I've invested my time in learning to produce. And it became incredibly addictive. I hope you guys like my music and feedback is always welcome!

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.
