Entire song performed on a Roland Jupiter 80 keyboard #endorsement. Written and performed by Mike Molino. 
It still can be done
It still can be won
I'm not the only one who believes son
Take this it was mine
for such a long time
be at your best never question your own mind
if I fall always carry this proudly I did it for you and now that they found me 
I really should go but I'm here to stay to see it all through all of the way
am I out of my head now? 
am I better off dead now? 
am I a liar trying to be who I'm not just like you
running in circles
filling in deep holes
against a tide that abides to no strongholds 
final retreat to where I can meet you 
I will survive its a lie I still need you
so truth be told
the truth is bold
my truth is sold
engrossed in gold
no one will know how far I'll go to win my last attack against the rats
am I out of my head now
am I better off dead now
am I liar trying to be who I'm not just like you
am I out of my head now
am I better off dead now
am I out of my head now
am I better off dead now
am I liar trying to believe that I'm not just like you

in late December 2015 my father-in-law was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and moved in with me, my wife and 3 children. For the next 15 months I witnessed a man fight like I've never seen a man fight before. With all odds against him, doctors telling him he had weeks to live, he pressed on and proved them wrong. I wrote this song during that time that he lived with us. I look back now and realize how much I admired his perseverance, his will to live, his belief that he would beat it "when I'm done with this cancer" he'd say. I didn't realize that this song was about that until after he passed in March of 2017. That's what I love most about writing music. We miss you Rick!

I looked back at the few notes I collected during this Photo Op's song development time-frame and concluded I did not have much to go on after a two year lapse.  The lyrics were not fully documented in my notebook. I must have been using lyric ideas and ad-libbing them into the song. I do not know my state of mind and wish I was better at capturing this closer to the song's conception point.

Life was still fairly locked down due to Covid, Trump was still in-office and the George Floyd protests were ongoing. The song was created without any direct outside musical influence driving the creative direction. This was me inside my studio starting from ground zero and evolving the song over the course of probably several weekends by playing around with sounds, rhythms and textures until a fuzzy shape of cohesion slowly emerged.

Listening back, I suspect, I smashed together two fairly divergent musical ideas. Bold move Dave and perhaps disastrous from a song gluing perspective. I like it anyway. Lyrics were influenced by what was going on around me and one of those things was a narcissist clutching a bible and clearing a peaceful protest with tear gas to enable his next photo op in front of the church.  A holy moment indeed. 

Lyrics
Photo Op
by David Husted

Dew drop dreams
Silly games
Buy some more stuff
Throw it away
Is it me?
Where did I go?
When we turn our backs
let them take it away.

They say it's gonna rain again
I don’t have an umbrella
They say its time to hate again
Photo ops and killing

Is it really so improbable?
State news and oligarchs selling fools
Make lies a game, and fear predominant 
Shake the base of our democracy

Photo Op

Where are You Now [Street Mix]

If this ain’t nice then what is ?  This was said by Kurt Vonneguts’ uncle at family gatherings according to Kurt in a YouTube video of one of his lectures about the shapes of stories . So it goes .

Joe Strummer made some of the best music I’ve ever heard .  Phenomenal songwriter musician who made each song his own.  He wrote a song titled “Ramshackle Day Parade” .  So it goes .

The vw bus bit is a high school memory.  Imagine The 70’s Show .  Old Bob is a ditty from long, long ago.

If this ain’t nice 

Do you remember full back seat 
Freshman September full back seat

Volkswagen micro bus
Sits upon four cinder blocks
Move the rear view mirror 
So I see you see me

Do you remember full back seat 
Freshman September full back seat 

Old Bob can’t find a job
And never will
Old Bob married Jill 
Poor Jill 

If this ain’t nice 
Then what is 
Living day after day
In the great
Ramshackle day parade

if this ain’t nice

In the palaces of the otherworld, through the autumn, the signal sounded - everything disappeared, only the forest and night remained...
В чертогах иномирья,сквозь осени врата сигнал пробил - исчезло все,остался только лес и ночь...
