I would say it's giving me Three Penny Opera vibes, but I'm sure it costs more...oh wait...I guess it's $270?

Very nice to listen and to admire such great performance.

Great production Robert, Very good Aria. I like listening to Your works

I am not good at describing music with words but I know when there is quality in it   and your works definitely have that.  Awesome piece, Robert!!

This one has a bigger feel to it. Powerful and expressive. Lovely instrumentation.

I like the instrumentation on the introduction. Really nice work once again.

Really enjoying the jazziness of this. It feels a very full piece - very melodic. Great!

great voice and nice instrumental...thank u !

“Can’t Explain” is another tune from my 4 Track vault, featuring a few acoustics, a vocal track and a Fender bass track for good measure. I believe this is the first time I’ve ever uploaded or played it for anyone. If you dig it please feel free to comment or repost! 
Thank you 🙏🏻✌🏻-Tim

Yesterday (cover) - RX2 (Lead Vocal Rob Hawkins)

i thought i could think my way out
but i had no life left to give from my mouth
to cry out a boundary, to punch and leave
for a reason to believe
the pain doesn’t imprint permanency, 
oh so spare my disease if the apple does
not fall far from the tree
oh spare my disease if my apple does 
not fall far from its tree

i thought i could think my way out
but my offset flow could not 
prevent the drought 
giving off heat as it worked to defeat
the army of absentees,
the entropic struggle 
still wriggled underneath
the only want to breathe, 
believing in the free

ABOUT THE ARIA
From Safe Word, the second act in a trio of operas called Three Way. In Safe Word, Mistress Salomé is a high-priced dominatrix in a private dungeon, and today she has a new client, an aggressive corporate type. Even though he's the one who pays to be spanked and taunted, the Client is bossy. In this aria, he explains how physical humiliation only makes him harder and stronger. 

ABOUT THE OPERA
An Il trittico for the Tinder generation, Three Way is a new opera about the present and future of sex and love with music by Robert Paterson (The Whole Truth) and a libretto by David Cote (Blind Injustice). In three playful acts, average heroes explore the worlds of android lovers, BDSM and polyamory in a quest for “more” in today’s hyperconnected and gender-fluid world. Featuring Nashville Opera, conducted by Dean Williamson. Original cast recording.

LYRICS
Charlie Darwin got it right:
To thrive in the jungle, 
A man’s got to fight.
A man’s got to kill,
And that takes iron will.
A man needs control.
He needs rules.
He may play a role
But never the fool.
A man needs power.
He needs clout.
The boss will decide
Who’s in and who’s out.
A man needs the law.
He needs jail.
Show contempt for the judge
And buddy, you fail.
A man needs discipline,
Or he’ll never win!
A man must be punished,
Or else he’s finished!
			(Gradually becomes more excited)
A man needs to be whipped,
Or stripped,
Or squeezed,
Or teased,
Or spanked,
Or mocked,
Or clocked,
Or pinched,
Or kicked,
Or pricked,
Or beaten, beaten, beaten 
Till he’s black and blue.
And for two-hundred-seventy bucks an hour,
This man needs you.

Stand My Ground

American composer Robert Paterson is a true New Yorker—born and bred in Buffalo, he lived in Rochester and Ithaca for over ten years, in New York City for over twenty years, and now lives in Saratoga Springs, near the Adirondacks. Paterson’s colorful music embraces a wide variety of themes, everything from goddesses and online dating to mathematics and the environment. His music is filled with emotion and fierce rhythmic energy, marked by elegance, wit, and meticulous craftsmanship. Named Composer of The Year by the Classical Recording Foundation at Carnegie Hall, Paterson is the winner of the Alfred I. DuPont Award, and his opera Three Way won the Grammy® under Best Classical Producer of the Year. His music is often a Best of the Year pick on National Public Radio. His orchestral tone poem, Dark Mountains, regularly airs on NPR’s Performance Today. Three Way premiered with Nashville Opera, then BAM (Brooklyn Academy of Music), and across the United States. Minnesota Orchestra, Louisville Orchestra, The Oratorio Society of New York, Buffalo Philharmonic, Albany Pro Musica, Albany Symphony, Musica Sacra, Austin Symphony, Vermont Symphony, and ensembles worldwide perform his works. Paterson gives masterclasses at the Curtis Institute of Music, New York University, the Aspen Music Festival, the Cleveland Institute of Music, and more. He is the Artistic Director and house composer for Mostly Modern Projects. Robert is a lifelong vegan and advocates for animals and the environment, celebrating the natural world with ground-breaking works such as his Triple Concerto, A New Eaarth, Listen, and I Go Among Trees.
