WASH THE BLOOD WITH THE RAIN

Renda felt empty
Renda felt worse than her shoes
Renda remembers
The day when she heard the sad news

They had to play over it
They had to play "chicken-shit"
Now all that's left is on the train

Wash the blood with the rain

Just like the movies
Renda and I saw the change
Matching the photographs
Everyone looked rather strange

They had to play over it
They couldn't re-write the script
So young, so cold, so free of pain

Wash the blood with the rain

Now doncha know ya sucha winner when you play those baby games?
You can mollify regrets about the future and get your name....
Your name, in the papers where the general population will skim you by
Nothing new about some drunken kinda fools who now reside
On the other side...
On the other side!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We all play over it
There is no benefit but a life (a long and fruitful game)

Wash the blood with the rain

Wash The Blood With The Rain

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 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.
