This is the third and final version of this track that I am going to do. 
All three guitars are a 1976 Gibson Les Paul Deluxe.

RON SNYDER - I'm So Excited About It (Humbucker Version)

Remixed and remastered 4 January 2025
================================
The phrase "perfect is the enemy of good" is an aphorism commonly attributed to Voltaire in 1770, but even he was apparently quoting an Italian proverb that had been around for a while.  It seemed to me to be a good idea for a song.  

Verse 1:
There was that short descriptions on page 195
It wasn’t really what I had intended to describe
And after many hours of working on the text
I gave up and decided that it was hopeless to expect
That I’d ever have the talent to do better than ok
I tossed that novel in the bin, there’s nothing more to say
It will forever go unread, I did the best I could
Perfect is the enemy of good

Chorus:
Perfect is the enemy
Perfect is the enemy
Perfect is the enemy of good
If I could make it better don’t you think I would
If I say it’s not good enough, I hope it's understood
Perfect is the enemy of good

Verse 2:
Our partnership was based on love and trust and fun
But I was undecided, would she ever be the one
Was she what I wanted, was she a perfect fit
A goddess with golden hair and unrivalled wit
A libertine, a temptress, that lovely girl next door
I let her go, so I'd be free for whatever was in store
Learned a lot about loneliness, more than I really should
Perfect is the enemy of good

Bridge:
Nothing’s ever finished
Nothing’s ever done
Always trying, waiting
While the race is being run
Perfect is my enemy
It keeps me playing small
For all that I’ve attempted
There’s not much to show at all

Verse 3:
The novel I was writing spoke of sadness and regret
For a love I’d lost so long ago that I still can’t forget
With this song I’m hoping for some closure on my past
I’m trying hard - I hope I can redeem myself at last
You’ll probably never hear this song - it won’t pass the test
That just allows perfection - I give up on all the rest
But who knows maybe this time I’ll cut myself a break
And sing this song with all it’s flaws - it’s a chance that I should take
Not perfect but maybe the very best I could
Perfect is the enemy of good

Chorus:
Perfect is the enemy
Perfect is the enemy
Perfect is the enemy of good
If I could make it better don’t you think I would
If I say it’s not good enough, I hope it's understood
Perfect is the enemy of good
Perfect is the enemy of good

Perfect is the Enemy of Good

Perfect Is The Enemy

Stranger At Your Door

A blend of grungyness and crust, this beautiful little song brings the basics of ecoterrorism back to the pop scene. You can dance to it, reflect about it, brood on it, start a circuit soldering course while listening to it... whatever you want man. See you at the cabin.

PS: Also one of a few songs out there with "Erlenmeyer flask" in its lyrics.

Windy Hair - Gen XYZ is a song for the postmodern generations that have found its not possible to rely on the previous ways of representing reality. The metanarratives of the past fail to account for where we find ourselves now, or show us the best ways to move forward in a world of relativism. Its a straight forward indie rock song that speaks to the common thread that runs through the lives and experiences of generations X,Y, and Z: how do we find our way in this new landscape when many of the old societal structures, systems, and beliefs are no longer relevant, useful, true, applicable, or reflective of the worlds we live in. 
Do we settle for lives of bare subsistence and servitude to the ideas of the past? Or do we find new ways that are empowering and life affirming! 
Acoustic and electric guitars, bass, drums and vocals without any lame ass autotuning, no AI, no fake BS, just real playing, real singing about real things in the real world. Get up and dance and sing along!!

"Windy Hair - Gen XYZ"

With your “so what” style 
and you windy hair
ya dress like a punk
on the way to a rave
and ya don’t care
ooo if you aint their fav
Its ok
Won’t change what ya do or say

Riding along on the waves that push you
not really sure where they’re gonna take you
Along for the ride
as long as it feels ok inside
If it all gets too absurd
You can kick all to the curb

With your flashing eyes and your windy hair
the world wants you march 
but you’d rather dance
And ya know it ain’t wrong
to make the most of your only chance
Its ok
to follow your heart today

With your windy hair and your so what style
Ya know that we’re only here for awhile
So you might as well sing
Ya never know what tomorrow will bring
Ya might as well dance
Ya never know if you’ll get another chance

Riding along on the waves that push you
not really sure where they’re gonna take you
Along for the ride
as long as it feels ok inside
If it all gets too absurd
well you can make like a bird 
and fly away

With your flashing eyes and your windy hair
the world wants you march 
but you’d rather dance
And ya know it aint wrong
to make the most of your only chance
Its ok
to follow your heart today

Windy Hair - Gen XYZ

Windy Hair - Gen XYZ - Defiantbutterfly

come over and bring your bottom lie
and we’ll each pour a glass
straight away drink half
and then we’ll set them both aside
under exaggerated sky

yeah bring your lifelong lie
and we will make it last
fret the way time passed
then we’ll put them back inside
our old dilapidated I

as the drones rain fire
and the warm ocean’s coiling to pounce
you and I both feel
this movie is named after us

lend me some of your ire
and I’ll ship you steel by the ton
so we can spin in our reel
we are stars made of much more than dust  

but when we talk
our cameras decide to pull wide
and when you laugh
the extras dissolve far behind
when we cry
we each have to take a quick turn
why deny
we were chosen to watch the world burn

go on now bring your bottom lie
and we will sip it slow
regret the way winds blow
and how they cast us both aside
a cruel and ever-changing sky

bring your sweetest lie
and we will make it glow
although both you and I we know
it is no match for any tide
too late to plant another lie

your stratagems inspire
as the grind shrinks us down to a bolt
we’re not ready to keel
over we are still written in gold

and when we pause
the camera will want to close up
who else can play
our roles when we finally stop?

so bring your bottom lie
to hop onto and catch a lift
you get bedazzled I be-spiffed
and we will nail our final lines
as the ruins fade to white

bring your innermost lie
and we will make it work
with a bit of glue and a little luck
we’ll write to whom it may it concern:
you and I were here 
to watch the world 
burn

Your Bottom Lie

First recorded in March 2023. 
From the album After Bar Sinister.

Lyrics

Now you're looking through the remnants and the haze.
And a memories just a picture that must  fade. (away)

I can tell you wanted to leave before you go.
But if it's so nice to meet me, say hello. 
Hello. (hello)

Oh, if history can teach us just one thing.
It's that we all end up right where we begin.
(it's a sin)

I can already watch you leave before you go.
I can already hear goodbye as you say hello. 
Hello. (hello)

Can you hear the peels of the liberty Bell?
As the jack-boots are marching under a grey spell.
Can you hear the growling and wailing in woods? 
Where the Monsters are lurking and up to no good. 
Can you hear the echoes of summer on  grass?
As the task master tasks you and sets you to task.
All the good children que sera at the moon.
Which is floating in space like a carnival balloon. 

Oh, the danger in a meeting, good to go. 
And if you give me the wink then I would know. (oh for show)

I can already see your smile begin to go.
As you open up the door and say hello.
Hello. (hello)
Can you hear the peels of the liberty Bell?
As the jack-boots are marching under a grey spell.
Can you hear the growling and wailing in woods? 
Where the Monsters are lurking and up to no good. 
Can you hear the echoes of summer on  grass?
As the task master tasks you and sets you to task.
All the good children que sera at the moon.
Which is floating in space like a carnival balloon. 



Hello [2024 Remaster]

Bled Dry


Lyrics:

You’re gonna break up just a little bit   (improvised)
You’re gonna take it and run far far away
And when the time comes you never know when  it comes
You’ll be ready like it’s the end of days 
It’s a bluesy little ditty on the south side of town (artistic freedom. I don’t know anyone that lives down the south side of town)
And let’s turn all your frowns upside the hell down 
We’ve got the ocean deep in our minds
So the desert don’t faze us with its sands and lines 
Chorus: (You can sing the You had me at hello part)
You had me. You had me at hello       (Jerry Maguire but I prefer Roy Kent reference)
You had me. You had me at hello           
She said gentle with my black hair.         (True hook up story. Based on fact)
She said Gentle. I’m a little scared
Take me down to the river bed where I’ma be free. (Hell yeah)
And I got no reservations about the restaurant at 3. (At dorsia) (American Psycho reference)
No need for make up darling you can be bold. (Women all over the world be like, “hell no.”
One thousand arrows couldn’t blot our sun     (300 referenceYou had me at hello        
With the raindrops falling down your long black hair
 And I am sold
To the bidder with the clear doe eyes (true story. I was a senior in high school and auctioned off. I was alerted by some giggling girls in grade 10 that my gf had paid the highest price. Memoirs of a geisha indeed. Which makes me Gong Li geisha)
May you be ready
For an avalanche of things I’ll do for you (like what)   (the adlibs are taking the piss out of the incredibly romantic lyrics)
Clearly I have made my mistakes  (what mistakes) 
But I’ll be here for you            Verse 2
Oh what a drag. I’m sighing down your chest (this came before the movie quote before it which I thought tied the room together nicely. I’m not really a huge fan of huge bosoms but it…rhymes)
Pulling at your dress 
Oh she said yes, to twister after the date , a hell of a mess. (True story. Why else would I buy Twister?)
It’s a pulpy little fiction where we go around (Pulp Fiction reference)
And Heath still plays my favorite clown (heath ledger reference)
We’ve got the movies stuck in our minds
So the scenes don’t faze us when we lose our lines
You are my lover
You are my queen
You are my lover
Queen of everything

I swear. I will be ready
I Swear. I’ll see this to the end.




You Had Me (Feat. Herfsen)

Glass way

The Blood Eternal

Lo-fi, utterly cynical and with a dash of b̶l̶a̶c̶k̶ ̶m̶e̶t̶a̶l̶ pop, The Darkstars gained sentient automation in Argentine soil at the beginning of the 203rd decade.

Started as an electronic project focused into D&D soundtracks for friends, after the addition of guitars and vocals it expanded into psychedelic rock, post-punk... and grunge?

And if you ever wondered about the name, it comes from "Dark Star" a 1974 film you should watch.
