A Song to Drift By
Copyright T F Starr 1993

Chorus
You Start to Wonder
Where it’s going to
The Wind is blowing
Showing you where to go
Spin that wheel of fortune
A change is coming soon
When you’re on the bottom
There’s only one way to go
And thats up

Verse 1
On the Highway of Life
The road to somewhere
You stop at a little cafe
For an iced water
Pick up your Guitar
And begin to play
Passers by throw their loose change
Into your guitar case

Verse 2
The music that you play
Will never go away
It’s a sweet addiction
Running through your veins
When your body hurts
It nulls the pain
And it keeps you going 
Through another day

Verse 3
You’re a square peg
In a round hole
Never really knowing
Where you’re going to fit
So you pack up your guitar
And you don’t ask why
Start drifting to the sunset
Away from what you know

Yeah Nah

A Song To Drift By (Studio Acoustic Live)

STOP HERE FOR AWHILE
COPYRIGHT STARR 2016

VERSE 1
I Feel So Broken
I’m right here on the floor
Have to say Out Loud
I Can’t do this Anymore
So I’ll Promise Myself
I’m going to make Amends
Before I Go Crazy
And Sent Around The Bend

CHORUS
(So) I Will
Stop Here for Awhile
To Feel My Heart Beat
Stop Here for Awhile
Force Myself To Smile
Stop Here for Awhile
And Hear myself Breath
Stop Here for Awhile
Force Myself To Smile

VERSE 2
I’ve been down here long enough
It’s Time to Move On Up
Time for me to go Outside
And Go For A Ride
Back to That Fork in the Road
And Let’s Hang A Right
A Right, in the Right Direction
And When I get there…

VERSE 3
Now I Promise Myself
That I will do good this time
I will check the depth of the water
And I will look before I leap
All I know where I have been
And Whatever I have seen
There will be No Looking Back this time
Pushing Forward and at the Same Time

Stop Here For A While (Remastered)

Whats The Matter
COPYRIGHT STARR 2025

VERSE 1
Nothing is Never Enough
You Want It All and Want It Now
You Say When and Where
Not Why and How
Impossible Things
End With You Somehow
Striking The Match
For a Set of Scorched Eyebrows

CHORUS
Hey
Whats The Matter
Whats The Matter
With You

Hey
Whats The Matter
Whats The Matter
With You

Hey
Whats The Matter
Whats The Matter
With You

Whats The Matter
With You


VERSE 2
A Saint is a Sinner
With Opportunity
Having Many Faces
That You Choose To See
Saying how Things Work
Defying Whats Meant to be
You Cannot See
Impropriety


Whats The Matter

My Name is Theo Starr, which is what I use as a composer, my stage name is Theo Starr aka The Technician when I play live.

Consider myself more of a Musician/Songwriter – Producer/Songwriter than a Singer/Songwriter.

But Predominately, a Writer first, a Musician second, a Producer third and an Artist fourth. But that all changes for convenience and when it is convenient depending on circumstances.

At the moment self-publishing and self-producing and trying to expand from that platform by obtaining licensing deals for soundtracks and/or have other artists perform and record my material.
