Name: Each Time I Try by Cookie Jay
Duration: 5 min 24 s
Description: 'Each time I try' came about during a late night Jam. Was just playing around with ideas and the Jam became the tune!

What a great chill track. I really enjoyed it!

Forgot what a classic this is. Remember you doing it.. a little bit more there, and little less here….. 😎

Thank you for the listen and feedback I appreciate you 🙏

From the Album "Short Songs For Tall Minds" (2022)
A song dedicated to everyone's favorite outdoor chair, the monobloc. So many good times and memories sitting in these things. Functional design meets a simple manufacturing process. Unfortunately, they are made with polypropylene plastic, which will be around for thousands of years. These are like ecological disaster zombies that will never die.  Just look around, they're everywhere. But hey, this is a good time song about them. Thanks for listening!

 Lyrics:
When I come home
When the work is through
I just want to get in my backyard
In the neighborhood
I need some backyard sky
I need some friends of mine
Put out all the drinks
And give it a little time
Get the cable
Run it out from the living room
Out to the backyard
And over by the pool
Plug in the boom box
Over by the slide
Get ready
For the rising tide
Sitting in my Monobloc
My favorite outdoor chair
I am impressionistic for functional design

You know, these chairs
When it comes to history
They'll be around much longer
Than you and me
Alex says you need to go outside
If you want to drink liquor and smoke
Sit in my rich man's plastic throne
Even though I'm broke
(Broke, broke, broke)
Hollow in my Monobloc
My favorite outdoor chair
 Monobloc (Yeah!)
It's lightweight, like this song
And the music in the air
Sitting in my Monobloc
Ubiquitous
And everywhere
In my Monobloc
Monobloc...

Lonely sits the city
Now desolate,
Barren and empty!

We watch the fall
In silent apathy
Nothing’s real
Augmented reality

Walking sleep
Our lips are sutured
Our eyes stitched shut
To past and future

Self-serving
Apathy
Buried along
with our fantasies

[chorus]
Lamentations!
Lamentations!
Lamentations!
Turn back before
it’s too late!

Silicon smiles
Hide mechanical gears
Oiled with blood
Spilled in fear

Enemies
Seek our demise
Choking us
With honeyed lies

Parasites
Have wormed their way in
They cause our fall
And mock our ruin

In the midst
of our distraction
ravening wolves
Have overtaken

[chorus]
Lamentations!
Lamentations!
Lamentations!
Turn back before
it’s too late!

Lamentations (HoboCop & Cosmic Keanu)

One minute things are going fine
But life can turn on a dime
Every day you roll the dice
And sometimes you find yourself on thin ice

You go for a routine medical check
And they find something you didn’t expect
You’ve been eating healthy food you take a daily jog
Now you’re wondering if you’ll outlive your dog

You’ve been working so hard for all these years
 but what do you have to show for it
All these things you bought but what do you have to show for it

Some people spend their lives accumulating wealth
But what’s the point of money if you don’t have your health

It’s nice to set some long term goals and think about your future days
But sometimes you need to take a step back and make sure you’re on the right highway

You’re hanging by a thread that you used to think was a thick rope
Your road was very flat but now you’re climbing a steep slope

You get up in the morning and you go to work 
You get up in the morning an you go to work
You get up in the morning and you go to work
Five days a week

You’ve been working so hard for all these years
but what do you have to show for it
All these things you bought but what do you have to show for it


You wake up every morning  go  about your day
Sometimes you wonder if it’s goanna be okay
You try to take it one day at a time
Some days are bad others are fine

Incidental finding, life threw you a curve
You're driving down the highway and you're trying not to swerve.
Incidental finding, life threw  you a curve
You're driving down the highway and you're trying not to swerve.

Incidental Finding
