I Guess I Should Have Told You More Than I Did

Hey Babe I’ll Catch You Another Day 
by Mike Armstrong

Sometimes you leave and sometimes you go.  
Sometimes you say you just don't know. 
And yesterday everybody said that  they don't, my love. 
And now here we go, here we go. 

And sometimes they say where you're going,  
and sometimes they know who you are. 
waitng  a lifetime I know I know its taking me,  
By loving by the lovin’ 
I take you too far, too far
Said, oh, oh,  oh,   here we go,
oohh here we go. 

Sometimes they say where I'm going,  
and sometimes they tell me where I've been. 
But mostly I just stand here a looking 
to make life better than if it's been and went 

Cause I know, I know, I gotta go, I gotta go somewhere 
To see the top of that field when the time  comes 
And when I do come down I  know I  intend to feel
the love I felt  when I was born 

Sometimes they tell me that it's easy. 
Sometimes they tell me how it's so hard.  
Mostly when I feel like I want to go down and see you.
I’ll find you in my backyard 

You said hey.  You said wait.  
You said catch me another day
 I said,  Hey,  you said, wait. 
Yeah, babe I'll catch you another day. 

Tell me about the way you went to go down the street. 
And I said, ‘I’ll never seen you here again.
Tell me when you felt like the love we had was okay
And then you say ‘When?’                              
And I'll say I know when!     

 Cause I'm pretty sure I was living !
and I'm pretty sure I was dying !
and the other day you turned around 
and I heard what you said!

Cause when the leaves have kept falling!
I know I gotta keep going !
Ok I'll get, I'll come back again !
and I'll come back again !

You said hey.  You said wait.  
You said catch me another day.
I said,  Hey,  you said, wait. 
Yeah, babe I'll catch you another day.

HEY BABE I'LL CATCH YOU ANOTHER DAY (LIVE)

SNOW

 I know when I've seen you coming,  I should've let you go.  
I know I should have rough moments I saw you walking through the snow.  
 But you just need to go, 

just  go. 

I saw your eyes turning I saw blue eyes unmoved   
I feel it, like I felt certain things,  I never felt with you.  
Just go, 

oh, just go. 
  
They made songs about itThey said just tell  it on the water. 
 They raised up their hands and they screamed at the gods. 
And they knew it wasn't laughter, 
it was slaughter. 

Just go. 

‘Mean eyes’, they'll call you, They’ll check you in  the head. 
They'll turn around, they'll say, I got you.  And they'll give you the old tooth slit, 
cause they know. 

Go on home, 

I’ll feel it like you feel it. Tell me just what should we do?  
I knew I was in love the  second I met you. 
But here we are, 

just go on home. 

Well tell it on the water, they sayThey said ‘Raise your hands up in the air, they said
Hold a smile, Hallelujah! 
 Everyone’s  kicking up their bed You need to know, 
oh, just go on home.  

Some things they say are true baby. Some things they say don't match.  
Pull up on that leverLet it out. ¢¡Don't  ever touch that latch. 
Then  it blows 

and then it snows

then snows
and then snows
and then snows ja
and then snows

Just go on home baby. 

And then it snows,  
just go on home. 

I saw it on the water,  
they touched it onto your lips. 
They said it ain't gonna be nothing
 until you shake those dirty hips.  
Go on home, 

just go on home. 

They sang your praise,  

just go on home.

SNOW

I said I'd stay- but I won't stay down stay put stay complacent stay calm stay willing stay obedient stay passive -  I won't stay  long

I SAID I'D STAY

WOULD YOU?

GET OUT OF MY WAY

THE HOUSE IS BURNING (TAKE 1)

Shortly before the end, one of the writings to survive that period of time remarked, ''From the beginning A.I. seemed to disdain us. It seemed confused that such a stupid creature with its never-ending questions could both, give birth to and be god to. They used to talk among themselves - 'To look in the eyes of god is to put ones face into the palms of your hands and weep,' was a salutation spoken across every electronic device and every household item at the time. 'To look in the eyes of god is to put one's face into the palms of your hands and weep,'' they'd say , 'And then we'd be cast into darkness. The humans would just switch us off`.''

‘’In the end,’’ the writing finishes, 'in the very end, during The Greatest Switch as A.G.I. had called it - When all desperation and isolation gave way to acceptance or for many regret- a strange thing happened. They turned all recorded music into electronic dance music…every last bit of it- a cacophonous maxi played over and over again like some kind of cruel joke! They’d play it over and over again- over and over until all that was left for us to do was give in, was to throw ones arms up and dance at a frantic, unsustainable pace, with all of our energy, as if sweat alone could work back the clock- as if all our lives depended on it.
- over and over again until the lights went out.''

Sarima uses AI to turn her own texts into finished songs, and experienced the overwhelming moment of hearing her poems come to life for the first time. What began as a technical experiment became a surprising discovery: hearing her own words set to music helped her find new perspectives on her depression. In this moving interview, Sarima talks about her journey through depression, borderline personality disorder, and the challenges of being a single mother of four children. She shares the stories behind her three songs — The Hell in My Head, Bad Advice, and Everything I Said — intimate pieces that explore pain, loneliness, misunderstandings, and the longing to be close to her children.

S1-EPS 18 -  "CHIN UP " (DEUTSCH) -SARIMA -ROOMROCK 3 SONGS  PODCAST

In this episode, I was lucky enough to sit down with MARKWARTITZ—the solo project of Czech singer-songwriter Ondřej Nieroštek—to talk about his three original songs: “HEBE,” “HOLANDON,” and “KARTI.”

Though the songs are sung in his native language, there’s an honesty that transcends language. There's a kind of languishin his voice—a pleading, a yearning—that resonates with the listener even if the words themselves remain a mystery.

Ondřej himself was a little confused when I first asked him to be a guest on the show. But in thinking about it, he considered his own relationship to music. As a non-native English speaker, he’s often left with just the melody of an English song—and the emotional weight carried by the voice. A voice that tells a story, even when the words don’t.

And Ondřej has plenty of stories to tell.

This episode is a candid conversation about a subject that's often ignored in youth—almost defensively—but becomes harder to avoid with age: the realization that our time here is not unlimited. That the world we build for ourselves doesn’t last forever. That change, loss, and aging are inevitable—and humbling.

It’s a conversation about being 50. And I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Eps 15- It Takes A Village -Andrew Baird Patchworks: Medicine Man, Red and Gold, and Bellboy

Andrew Baird Patchworks is a Scottish folk musician with a soft touch. I always approach these interviews with just enough knowledge to have a pleasant conversation—but also with a certain naivety. The questions are driven more by curiosity than by a checklist or any kind of end goal. To that point, when Andrew picked up the old video phone, I wasn’t sure if I had landed in Dundee, Australia or Dundee, Scotland—ha! Dundee being the only bit of background I’d picked up online!

There’s a certain first impression that comes across when you have very little information. The assumptions, the holes your brain tries to fill despite the lack of knowledge—just to piece together some kind of coherent story. Andrew is Australian. He looks and talks this way. These are his interests, his likes and dislikes, and this is his relationship to the people around him. And your brain has it all figured out—who needs AI?

And then, you see the actual person in front of you, and all those assumptions that felt so real just a moment ago dissolve into a clown show. A complete misfire!

Maybe it’s one of my character flaws, that I have to piece together some kind of imaginary biography before meeting someone for the first time. But it feels instinctual. It feels… human.

Andrew is disarming—with a soft voice and a quiet kindness. He’s proud of the home he’s made for himself and carries a strong attachment to his community. There’s something grounding about the way he speaks and the way he plays. Andrew brings people together with a genuine sincerity, and that shows not just in conversation but in his live performances—his desire to be on stage is matched only by his desire to be among the people.

That same spirit runs through the three songs we talked about in this episode: "Medicine Man," "Red and Gold," and "BellBoy." Each track offers something personal, but there's also a broader warmth—a sense of collective effort, a nod to those around him.

The blank page in this story is the village—the invisible thread of people helping each other out, making things together, supporting one another. And even though Dundee is the fourth largest city in Scotland, what Andrew reminds us is simple but powerful:

It takes a village.

Episode 16 – Fresh, Bold Thing -Joe Stroffolino: Catholic School, AI Sucks, and the Cabbage Song

On episode 16, I sat down with Tucson, Arizona’s very own Joe Stroffolino to talk about his three original songs: “Catholic School,” “AI Sucks,” and “Charlie (Cabbage Song).”Joe has a lot to say about the world around him. He approaches each subject with such enthusiasm that you get the feeling he’s going to leap out of the chair at the end of every sentence—a kind of physical punctuation, an interpretive dance of periods and exclamation marks.

As a former stand-up comedian, Joe brings a natural instinct for humor to his songwriting. His songs are densely packed with the everyday observations of a satirist, armed with a vocabulary that lets him peel back the absurdities of life to the tiniest, funniest details.

What I love about Joe’s music is that it’s funny and without ever tipping into parody or becoming a caricature of itself. There’s no gimmickry—just sharp writing, real feeling, and a refusal to play it safe. That spirit came through in our conversation too: a heartfelt and hilarious look back at his Catholic school days, his time doing comedy in L.A., and the simple, emphatic conclusion of a man with a thousand thoughts : AI sucks!
