Now You See Me

Ya no Sé que Hacer

GOM (feat. YUNGBR4)

You know I miss the music of the Mamas & the Papas
And the holes in my blue jeans.
‘Cause who else but a flower child could listen to Donovan and
Tell you what it means?
The Byrds, they took you flying, took you 8 miles high,
Then they’d lightly settle down.
And there’s no satisfying the Rolling Stones and their 19th Nervous Breakdown.

The Beatles tried to tell you all you needed was love if you’d
Just peace a chance.
And all across the country they were feeling so good when they
Hit the streets to dance.
Listen to the message of the Lovin’ Spoonful, ‘cause you know it is for free.
What a day for a daydream, and a daydream’s still good enough for me.

The music’s gonna take you where you’ve never been before.
Gonna take you to the edge and open up the door.

INSTRUMENTAL

Crosby, Still, Nash and Young were teaching all their children you should
Know your parents well.
And Dylan had us seeing all the multiples of reasons we should
Ring the freedom bell.
The Band was hypnotizing,Joni Mitchell fantasizing
‘bout the Woodstock of our youth.
If the radio would play it, they felt the need to say it,
‘cause we all should hear the truth.

The music’s gonna take you where you’ve never been before.
Gonna take you to the edge and open up the door.

My friends, they tell me, “Scott, you’re living in the past
And there’s just no future there.
Nostalgia is fine, but it will never last, music won’t take you anywhere.
I look at them with a tear in my eye, and I tell them they are wrong.
I’ve been twice around the world and I never left - never left my song.
Whoa, listen to the music. All the time

Someone took a picture of a man being shot and they put it on the faceless book.
Everyone has seen it, & they say they are disgusted, but they go back for another look
Somebody says, “We really oughta do something,” and the thumbs up start multiplying.
Then they come to a consensus; take it down.
Another little child gets sick and then dies from the water that she’s been drinking.
People run wild, saying, “Oh that poor child. What were her parents thinking?”
hen the man from DC says we need a study, and everybody’s in agreement.
When they see how much it’ll cost; take it down.

A man takes a gun in a movie theater and starts shooting people one by one.
Thoughts and prayers, prayers & thoughts, is this a battle we know can be won?
Help the mentally ill, but they see the bill, change their mind, nothing can be done.
There has to be a better way; take it down.

People crying, people wailing, education’s failing and the kids are not being taught.
So they grab a DC buddy, do a million dollar study, & conclude it is the teachers fault.
What’ll it take to fix this mistake? Gonna need some better teachers for sure.
When they see how much it’ll cost; take it down.

When I was in school, they taught me a few simple rules.
I before E, except following C, always make sure subjects and verbs agree.
And when you’re doing fractions, always look for the common denominator.

I went down to the polling place, first Tuesday in November.
Senseless killing, numbers chilling, started to remember.
A man handed me his card, tried to shake my hand, I’d love to have your vote today.
But I thought about what I had seen; take it down.

Billie Marten loves to leave her mark on a good book—underlining important passages, scribbling ideas in the margins, folding the corners of pages into dog ears to mark her place. The 10 songs of Dog Eared serve that purpose, telling the story of who she was as she wrote and recorded it, cleaving her adolescence from her adulthood in order to move forward. She is the songwriter who finds wisdom in horses and encourages self-reflection while realizing she has barely begun her own. She is the singer who makes the chorus of “Goodnight Moon” as beautiful as a lunar corona and smartly lets dissonance slip between her voice and the band around her as she watches something she loves disappear during “Crown.” Marten is a consummate singer-songwriter who has dared to push beyond the limitations of that form and make a stunning record that marks a new page, suggesting what comes next through the strength and beauty of what’s right here.

Dog Eared is out 18th July via Fiction Records.
