IT DON’T TAKE A GENIUS

No show
You’re not a social one
You walk the streets alone

In the night time
Wishing that long lost friends would take you home

The neighbors with their holiday families
you secretly wanted to join...
As moonlight bounces off their driveways
Lighting up a stage for every dead leaf to parade

Well it don’t take a genius to figure it out
You made many choices that were wrong
It don’t take a genius to connect all the dots
You were meant to suffer on your own

Death could provide a cure

“Cosmos” :
Here is the collage diner where the young bloods feast
In the corner that’s where sit and stab your salad beast


Then suddenly you wake up
And it’s in your face.
All this time recording (gone) see it laid to waste
And for a moment, man it hits you hard
You should have taken chances
Shoulda gone that extra yard

Well it don’t take a genius to figure it out
You made many choices that were wrong
It don’t take a genius to connect all the dots
You over stayed your welcome, now you’re old
It don’t take a genius to figure it out
You made many choices that were wrong

Death could provide a cure
In time you will know for sure...

Suddenly you wake you and it’s seems so clear
The numbers for perfection are written everywhere
Do you enjoy it? And live in the now?
No. A blessed revelation you never could allow

Well it don’t take a genius to figure it out
You made many choices that were wrong
It don’t take a genius to connect all the dots
You over stayed your welcome, now you’re old
It don’t take a genius to figure it out
You made many choices that were wrong

Death could provide the cure

In time you will know for sure...
In time you will know for sure...
Maybe next time

John Tabacco is an American composer, singer songwriter, producer, recording engineer, multi instrumentalist and graphic artist. He has engineered /mixed and mastered music for hundreds of New York recording artists as well as projects released on BMG: The Kemelions, RCA: Faze, Rampage/Rhino: Rhett Forrester, Columbia: Rebbie Jackson, Rykodisc : Bob Marley, Columbia: Chris Jasper, Electra: Sonia Dada and Nickleodeon’s Are You Afraid Of The Dark? He is the CEO of It Iz What It Iz Music Publishing which currently holds over 750 songs in its catalog. He has been an associate producer for IndiMusic TV and hosts a bi-weekly radio program (CLAM RADIO) on college radio WUSB.fm since 1999. He is currently the head of A&R at Modern Voices Digital Distribution.

His musical background consists of extensive study of orchestration with noted 20th century composer John Lessard, harmony with the late electronic music maverick Bulent Arel, and composition with Stony Brook University professor Peter Winkler. He received his BA in Music from Stony Brook University in 1983. 

Like an unfolding musical diary / puzzle, Tabacco’s music and art are constantly being re-worked, juxtaposed and intertwined. His style is a melding of pop - jazz -rock - avant garde / aleatory, classical and comedy.  He has been recording his music non stop since 1979.

Of note: In 1989 the satirical, absurd house song "Go House Yourself" co-written by Tabacco, Pati and DiMauro reached position 39 on Billboard's dance chart. 

In 2014 Tabacco signed a record deal with Texas, indie label, Muffin Records. They released his CD “Unfulfilled Shopping Carts Syndrome” internationally.

The hypnotic collaborations of David Smiddy, Brendan DeKemper, and Dan Parker.

Music creator, producer and song writer. Keyboard player with foundation in piano. Musical arrangements, production and mixing are handcrafted and have been using Cubase for the last 15 years for the productions, but also recently started with FL Studio which is a bit less tedious as time constraint is always present. 

Passion for Electronic music, but trying to build sonic stories across styles. Avid listener of the many brilliant creators here on SoundCloud. 

You are warmly welcome to listen, like, share and/or follow, which is the used currency.

Hip-hip writer, emcee, sound engineer & record producer from Columbia, Missouri.

Constantly creating, recreating and redefining not only his music but himself.

An artist who mixes and crosses all genres and boundaries (and maybe a few lines) in his production to cherry top it all with deep, intricately handcrafted rhyme schemes and philosophical yet simultaneously playful and lighthearted lyrics woven into the very fabric of space and time!

Too much?

Alright...

Writing about myself is always weird...

I like to write lyrics and make beats, usually inspired by different music genres I enjoy, video games I play and books that I read. 

I love most music in general but have always gravitated toward hip-hop & metal.

I'm a friggin' nerd so my references, metaphors & punchlines will probably come off as so and any assumed intention to come off as obscure or mysterious is really just because I listen to, watch, read and play shit that normal people could probably care less about 🤷‍♂️

I hope you all enjoy my rippity-rapping and beep-booping and if not, feel free to comment how bad you think I smell. Maybe it'll bring me down a notch and then you can feel good about yourself.

If you DO like the weird and probably annoying stuff that I make, gimme a like and a high five and show your family and friends so they can see and talk about how cool or how full of shit I am or how shiny my bald head is.

Maybe if enough of you make fun of me, I'll be able to quit my day job and become the hermit I've always dreamed of being.

Sooo please listen to my songs, learn my lyrics so you can sing them along with me on Twitch because I don't have the drive to book shows for myself.

Thanks!
