Perspiration is cheap.  Inspiration is priceless.

SO INSPIRED 

I'm depressed
It's not fair
Ain't got no safe house for repair
My heart is crushed heart
No one cares
They done stole my toys
And I swear

I’ve never felt so inspired
Never felt such desire, world
I can barely make it through each day
The thrill of life has slipped away

I’ve never felt so inspired
Always rains on my parade

I’m not blessed
I’m not whole
I’m not strong - in control
Got no peace
I’m just scared
I’m a walking void
And I swear

I’ve never felt so inspired
Never felt such desire, world
I can barely make it through each day
The thrill of life has slipped away

I wish I had sign for you to make you rock
But the only sign left for you is in a box

No more fun
No more cheers
I’m just a bum
Drowning in tears
There’s no hope
It’s all doom
Lost the will to live in this pointless ugly room

I’ve never felt so inspired
Never felt such desire, world
I can barely make it through each day
The thrill of life has slipped away

I wish I had sign for you to make you rock
But the only sign left for you is in a box
I wish there was a way for you to understand
You only have to suffer fools because you can

I’ve never felt so inspired
Never felt such desire, world
I can barely make it through each day
The thrill of life has slipped away

I wish I had sign for you to make you rock
But the only sign left for you is in a box
I wish there was a way for you to understand
You only have to suffer fools because you can

So Inspired

John Tabacco is an American composer, singer songwriter, producer, recording engineer, multi instrumentalist and graphic artist. He has engineered /mixed and mastered music for hundreds of New York recording artists as well as projects released on BMG: The Kemelions, RCA: Faze, Rampage/Rhino: Rhett Forrester, Columbia: Rebbie Jackson, Rykodisc : Bob Marley, Columbia: Chris Jasper, Electra: Sonia Dada and Nickleodeon’s Are You Afraid Of The Dark? He is the CEO of It Iz What It Iz Music Publishing which currently holds over 750 songs in its catalog. He has been an associate producer for IndiMusic TV and hosts a bi-weekly radio program (CLAM RADIO) on college radio WUSB.fm since 1999. He is currently the head of A&R at Modern Voices Digital Distribution.

His musical background consists of extensive study of orchestration with noted 20th century composer John Lessard, harmony with the late electronic music maverick Bulent Arel, and composition with Stony Brook University professor Peter Winkler. He received his BA in Music from Stony Brook University in 1983. 

Like an unfolding musical diary / puzzle, Tabacco’s music and art are constantly being re-worked, juxtaposed and intertwined. His style is a melding of pop - jazz -rock - avant garde / aleatory, classical and comedy.  He has been recording his music non stop since 1979.

Of note: In 1989 the satirical, absurd house song "Go House Yourself" co-written by Tabacco, Pati and DiMauro reached position 39 on Billboard's dance chart. 

In 2014 Tabacco signed a record deal with Texas, indie label, Muffin Records. They released his CD “Unfulfilled Shopping Carts Syndrome” internationally.
