Catch My Reflection

Bots in Boardman, break-ups, Bachmann and Bloss + an original song entitled "Dangerous Again."

Song Lyrics:

Dangerous Again - barely ever feel free anymore/seems like this world has sucked the life from me/same view out the window/of the same highway/same old shit just on a different day/but tonight when the rain hit my skin/released a rare nearly extinct emotion/and I feel dangerous again/I feel dangerous again/feel like a stranger in my own house/quiet like a thief walking on eggshells/you looked at me with eyes to indicate/we had become nothing but glorified roommates/warm summer night a red and yellow sky/a fleeting moment/a second chance at life/and I feel dangerous again/I feel dangerous again/Instrumental Break/1000 miles of talking to myself/public radio roadside motels/you used to sit in the sit next to me/reading the map and drifting in and out of sleep/gone far enough/time for a bite to eat/when she brings me my pie/the waitress warmly smiles at me/and I feel dangerous again/I feel dangerous again......

I have a conversation with myself about the difficulty of writing songs and then I recommend a few albums including the wonderful new Hurray for the Riff Raff record. Enjoy and please share.

A brief commentary on the interpretation, misinterpretation, and communication of song lyrics + Willy Vlautin and an original song entitled "On The Up & Up."

Song Lyrics:

On The Up & Up - A little bit of worry/goes a long way/keeps me curled up/afraid to face the day/a little bit of fear/mix it in/now we're cookin' up a dangerous/combination/a little bit of self doubt/from parental neglect/a healthy dose of trauma/I haven't mentioned that yet/I make no eye contact/I keep my head down/a little self medication/to keep me above the ground/but I scribbled these words/solely to express/that I'm on the up and up/making some progress/you reach an age/when all you can do/is tunnel deeper down/to find your value/it's easy to be angry/it's easy to quit/it's easy to be a cynic/and say you don't give a shit/it's harder to be kind/it's harder to try/to make something better/to help something shine/CHORUS/they'll try to derail you/drive you down in the ditch/keep you poor/while they get rich//but if you set a foundation/keep showing up/you'll catch some breaks/you'll make your own luck/CHORUS

A more detailed description of the show's mission + Sarah Jarosz and a song about an unhoused person.

Song Lyrics:

Up Against It - bless your generous heart/for not just walking by/used to be a working man/expense account and a company ride/now I barely recognize myself/one fucked up day after another/hope I make it to the summer/out in the cold and in poor health/tired of being looked at like a stranger/by folks who used to be my neighbors/a series of false starts/then I hit the dirt/in this shelter tonight/the up against it in concert/barely recognize myself/counting the change in this old baseball cap/mapping out an improbable comeback/I'm ashamed to ask for help/after years of being self reliant/but who's supposed to survive in this climate/I wanna go home/I wanna go home/need a place of my own/need a place of my own/I wanna go home/I wanna go home/tired of the unknown/tired of the unknown
