Listen - words and music by Randy Willcox

You only had one thing to do, I wasn't really asking much of you
(They don't listen)
But I can see that simple rules are too complex for you to follow through
(They won't listen)

Ignorance surrounding me
No escape from this society

They don't listen
On social media I see
They won't listen 
It's in the news and on TV
They don't listen
Must be that god damn A.D.D.
They won't listen
Because they can't see

Over and over again, I see the time and effort that you waste
(They don't listen)
So many stupid mistakes you make mean victory you'll never taste
(They won't listen)

Ignorance surrounding me
No escape from this monotony

They don't listen
On social media I see
They won't listen 
It's in the news and on TV
They don't listen
Must be that god damn A.D.D.
They won't listen
Because they can't see

-monologue-

Wallow in the abyss oblivious
Hard core embrace of your cluelessness
Deep dive the mind of a narcissist
You can't follow rules 'cause you never listen

They don't listen
On social media I see
They won't listen 
It's in the news and on TV
They don't listen
Must be that god damn A.D.D.
They won't listen
Because they can't see

Wallow in the abyss oblivious
Hard core embrace of your cluelessness
Deep dive the mind of a narcissist
You can't follow rules 'cause you never listen

A Beautiful Day - Master

This is the demo of the song A Change by Ronnie Ventura and myself for the motion picture Showing Roots performed by Nikki Kimbrough. The song wasn't chosen for the scene we intended as it ended up being a contender for the theme song against our other song A Beautiful Day. We can't be too disappointed, we beat ourself out for that spot. This song does not appear in the film and is available for license.

A Change - Demo

This song was written and recorded for the motion picture Bear City 3 to be used during a scene in the film. *newly mastered

Not Today

I LOVE this song. Written again, on the spot during a rehearsal, it has one of the best breakdowns in a rock song ever. I have no hesitation saying that. Another scary solo and killer groove. We used to end every gig with this song because if you were the next band playing...haha...follow this! Interesting note: the lyrical content is about bands molded by record companies and writing the same song 100 different ways to sell records. For months we played this live and Trish had no lyrics. She just sang vowels, basically. There's a verse: "I started mumbling early on 'cause I knew they wouldn't care. It just goes to show a decent groove can get you anywhere. I'm tired of girly, weak cliches and all the time they save. I guess that's why this song may have taken so long." The title was inspired by Fee's t-shirt that said, "Don't make me go Zelda on your ass!"

07 Zelda

When I wrote this song I was thinking old Pearl Jam. By the time Trish got done with it it was so far from Pearl Jam, I can hardly hear where I thought that came from! This became our anti-war song. I still chuckle because the song opens with, "Gaze across the horizon..." And in my head I hear, "Gays across the horizon..." Haha...it's the little things. This song is Nancy Madore's favorite. This will always be her song. She's Jeff's mom.
