Not just drum

It ended up a lot more 80s than I originally intended.

Fish with anxiety problems
Lobsters with anxiety problems
Squid with anxiety problems

They think about
Disturbing facts
They think about
Things I don't want to
But I don't want to
Come across as
The kind of person
You'd walk away from so

I'm trying hard to be happy
Even though everything is wrong
I'm trying not to be down
Even though that doesn't really work

Girls with anxiety problems
Boys with anxiety problems
Robots with anxiety problems

They think too much
They focus on
On all the things that
That could go wrong but
But I don't want to
Come across as
The kind of person
You wouldn't talk to so

[Repeat chorus]

Fish with anxiety problems etc.

[Repeat chorus]

I'm Trying Hard To Be Happy

Okay baby I'm a cellphone guy.

-----------------------------------------------------

Special thanks to @taintedicarus for his stellar work on the mastering of this track!

Tells me that the world isn’t as it seems. I ask why.
Talks of the conspiracy, the mystery - the heavens they move by design.
Outer-space with every thought. The wheels they turn and grind for naught. I ask why.
He says, “Okay baby I’m a cellphone guy.”

You say, “ the chords that bind.”
You say, “oh, love of mine,
I can hear you. I can hear you just fine.”

I’ll keep you here beside my bed.
No need to wonder what you said.
Blue light turmoil and darkness strife:
A lit up screen will be my life.




Bill's note:
It's like people don't understand you sometimes you know? The language is getting smaller and smaller, the meaning of words is changing before our very eyes and ears, there is less and less room for metaphor for "big" words for "big" thoughts. Social media and big tech squeezing our heads in a vice. Time to surrender? Maybe.
Hey if you actually read this far God Bless you!
You are the most important people in the world to us and that isn't an exaggeration! 
Our family & friends locally knew us before and most will never listen to this track unless we play it out live somewhere for our captive audience. LOL. You chose to listen to this and read the description. To think that a mother, father and son from the woods of New England can make music that is tolerable, listenable and sometimes even likeable world over .. how cool is that?

Halloumi with apricots
On a pumpernickel slice
You can find one in the sandwich bar 
At the entrance to the park 

There’s nothing more to wish for
You don’t go that far
There’s a bench outside to sit on
At the entrance to the park

A little finch moves up an inch 
To join you on the bench
He’ll never let you dine alone
There’s always two for lunch

There’s nothing more to wish for
You don’t need to fly yo Mars
There’s a bench outside the sandwich bar
At the entrance to the park

If I Had A Dollar


If I had a dollar for every time I thought of you
if I had a dollar for every time I thought of you
I’d have so much money Honey 
I wouldn’t know what to do.

If I had a dollar for every time you turned me on
if I had a dollar for every time you turned me on
I’d be richer than Bill Gates and Céline Dion.

If I had a dollar for every time you yanked my chain - chain - chain
if I had a dollar for every time you yanked my chain - chain - chain
I would need no Doctor - I wouldn’t feel
I wouldn’t feel no more pain.
Is there a Doctor in the house?

If I had a dollar for every time I thought of you
if I had a dollar for every time I thought of you
I’d have so much money Honey
so much money Honey
so much money Honey
I wouldn’t know
I wouldn’t know - what to do.

If I Had A Dollar

Bio
In 2007 at age 63 Montrealer Peter Wheeler bought his first guitar. He then went to amazon.com and purchased a book called “How To Play The Guitar for Dummies”. Since then he hasn’t looked back. 

Sometimes serious - sometimes humorous Wheeler’s music seeks to re-capture the Classic Vibes  from the 70’s & 80’s. To best describe his music imagine Bob Dylan & The Doors meet The Clash & Leonard Cohen at the Hotel California & share a bottle of wine with Tarantino. Peter Wheeler is a poet - focusing all his energies into creating musical canvases to express his personal vision of the world surrounding him. 

For several years Peter was part of the local bar scene in the Greater Montreal area.  He performed as the lead singer and rhythm guitarist for The Rock Roulette Band. His experiences giving live performances and continually improving his guitar playing has truly shown that you can teach an old dog new tricks.

In 2020 Peter teamed up with Johnny Vienneau, a multi- talented musician and Producer from Montreal and recorded his first album of cover songs called "Self Portrait".  https://soundcloud.com/peter-wheeler/sets/self-portrait-1

Prior to embarking on his musical odyssey Peter's main passion was painting having had several major exhibitions and loyal patrons. https://www.facebook.com/media/set?set=a.46081025804&type=3    

Today Peter continues to pursue his passion for The Arts by doing portraits of friends, family and people he greatly admires. In 2021 he became a re-born again environmentalist and his songwriting is now focused on increasing awareness of the climatic challenge facing the planet.
