THE SONG
IT’S ANOTHER SATURDAY NIGHT AT HOME
AND I JUST WANT TO BE AS LOST AS I FEEL
IT’S ANOTHER SILENT GLOW FROM MY PHONE
AND I WANT MELODY ON TOP OF SOMETHING REAL
AND I CAN’T HELP THINKING I WAS MADE FOR
SOMETHING SO MUCH MORE THAN THIS
THERE’S A WHOLE WORLD OUT THERE THAT I ONCE KNEW
A WHOLE WORLD THAT I MISS
GIMME GIMME JUST ONE MORE SHOT
LET ME MISS THE BRASS RING AGAIN
IT’S OK, IT’S OK, THE REACHING OUT MATTERED MORE
THAN REACHING THE JOURNEY’S END
BUT NOW THOSE DAYS ARE LONG GONE
AND TIME STILL MARCHES ON
BUT, THAT DON’T CHANGE MY LONGING FOR THE SONG
I JUST WANT TO BE IN A TOWN SOMEWHERE
AND NOT EVEN BE QUITE SURE WHICH TOWN I’M IN
I REMEMBER FORGETTING WHAT DAY IT IS
BUT RECALLING HOW EVERY SONG I SING BEGINS
AND I CAN’T HELP THINKING I WAS MADE FOR
SOMETHING SO MUCH MORE THAN THIS
THERE’S A WHOLE WORLD OUT THERE THAT I ONCE KNEW
A WHOLE WORLD THAT I MISS
GIMME GIMME JUST ONE MORE SHOT
LET ME MISS THE BRASS RING AGAIN
IT’S OK, IT’S OK, THE REACHING OUT MATTERED MORE
THAN REACHING THE JOURNEY’S END
BUT NOW THOSE DAYS ARE LONG GONE
AND TIME STILL MARCHES ON
BUT, THAT DON’T CHANGE MY LONGING FOR THE SONG
A MELODY CROONED BY THE TIRES
A MONOTONE BALLADEER
AND THE HARMONY WAS THE WIND
AND THE RINGING IN MY EAR
PUSHED SO HARD TO MAKE MUSIC A LIFE
AND BARELY SURVIVED
FELT LIKE I WAS DYING INSIDE
TRUTH IS I NEVER QUITE FELT SO ALIVE
GIMME GIMME JUST ONE MORE SHOT
LET ME MISS THE BRASS RING AGAIN
IT’S OK, IT’S OK, THE REACHING OUT MATTERED MORE
THAN REACHING THE JOURNEY’S END
GIMME GIMME JUST ONE MORE SHOT
LET ME MISS THE BRASS RING AGAIN
IT’S OK, IT’S OK, THE REACHING OUT MATTERED MORE
THAN REACHING THE JOURNEY’S END
BUT NOW THOSE DAYS ARE LONG GONE
AND TIME STILL MARCHES ON
BUT, THAT DON’T CHANGE MY LONGING FOR THE SONG

Shawn Browning recommends:
One of my biggest influences. Probably obvious, huh? Bob is the king of big guitars with beautiful melodies and just plain ol' songs that matter. I feel his music almost more than hear it.

Emptiness at The Sinclair
by Dinosaur Jr.
My goal is to be half as good and just as noisy as J. Mascis on guitar. Saw them live and he was so crazy loud, but it was sheer bliss.

What a Time to Be Alive
by Superchunk
If you don't smile and feel like dancing erratically to Superchunk, you're souless, have no taste, or dead. Maybe all three. Just go and do a deep dive of their catalog. Seriously. You're welcome.
