Not Gracefully 
Featuring Thomas Linevitch on guitar
Sometimes we try our best but we still fail. Here's a song about that.
Melissa, Bill & Will 

Lyrics:
Think about the worst.
Forget about the best.
We wonder what comes first.
Is it love or happiness?

I can be your (a) perfect failure.
Make the worst of opportunity.
Talk about your concrete bridges.
Even they can burn. You’ll see.
Take a sip of your liquid karma.
Just save two drops for me 
‘cause I’ll fall down .…. just not gracefully.

Ooh …… not gracefully.

Forget what we’ve been told.
We can’t all be the best.
And, going for the gold
Won’t bring you happiness.

I can be your (a) perfect failure.
Make the worst of opportunity.
Talk about your concrete bridges.
Even they can burn. You’ll see.
Take a sip of your liquid karma.
Just save two drops for me 
‘cause I’ll fall down .…. just not gracefully.

Ooh …… not gracefully.   

I wish that I could dance like you.
I wish that I could move that way.
I wish I had a mind like yours.
You always know just what to say.
I’d love to entertain a crowd.
But, nobody wants me around.
So, I’ll get out there stand tall and proud. Make my voice real strong and loud.
But, I’ll fall down.

…… just not gracefully.

Bill's Note:
Did you ever make a song ... and then worry about what will come next? This may possibly be the one. This might be the best that I'll ever do.

This song is written about the way I feel all the time but it's not necessarily negative. It's more about accepting our imperfections and if you're going to mess up - Do it BIG! 
I'm a failure. Oh well.

Also -
Is it wrong to have some pride here?

This song is written for Melissa's voice and she nails it!!! I absolutely love her singing on this!
Will has completed a DCI tour, is on the UCONN drumline and his drumming is kicking it, for real!
Tom is my former student, is majoring in music composition and performance at UCONN and plays in the US Army band!
I can't help it. I'm really proud of them! I am so thankful for their outstanding performances on this song.

If you actually read this far then God bless you! You are very important to us!  .... maybe most important people in the world, really. Here we are a small family living in the woods of New England and yet some people actually want to hear our music. How Cool is that?

It's 2023 and we're still blocking and reporting the indie-spammer rockstar wannabe messengers so we can actually have meaningful connections with good and honest people. If you want to DM us something about how we should buy your stuff, subscribe to your channel or follow you .... DON"T!
DM us for friendly & real conversation only. Our songs are not up for review. If you want to DM us some production advice, mix critique or regurgitate some crap about but bass frequencies or something you learned on YouTube once ... DON'T! 
Thanks! Friends can always send us new songs just no spam messages, please. We are real people. Please be real people too.

*****We do not autotune Melissa's voice!*****
November Sound features powerful lead vocals with creative drum and keyboard driven musical arrangements. We try to create alternative music with intricate rhythms and a modern sophisticated sound. Thank you for listening! 

Melissa (Mom) - Lead vocals
Bill ( Dad) - Keyboards, songwriting, arranging, recording, production
Will (Son) - Drums, percussion, electronic drums, arranging

We create and perform all of the sounds that you hear. We rarely ever use any loops or tracks....we also do live performances of our music whenever we can! ( of course, not quite as full sounding without the multi-track recording)
***
We seem to get a number of new followers each week and sometimes it is hard to know who is real or not. If you are our friend from Songwriters in the Kitchen, YouTube, Facebook or Twitter please send us a DM and let us know so we can follow you back.
Friends (emphasis on FRIENDS not spammers) feel free to DM when you have a track out!
Also ---
We have been getting a lot of unsolicited offers from people who want to mix or master our music. Though we are thankful that you consider us worthy we are choosing not to respond to these messages.
We all read blogs and watch the videos where a fancy man in a designer T-Shirt says to find a band that you like and offer to mix their music for free to build up your portfolio. Eventually you'll be able to make a living, working at home, doing what you love. That sure sounds great! Hey, if you believe that we are that good and you want to mix our music then we are very flattered and thankful for your support. However, we don't want a transaction like that to take away from our friendship with you and we also just like to take time to create our own music.... that's part of the fun for us. We don't really have plans to be famous or make money with music. We are merely a small family living out in the woods, in a small town, in a small state in a small region that is called New England, USA. .....that's all.
