Just like me

(Howard Aronson)

This song is about my dad and myself. Even though we are different in a lot of ways, there was one thing we had in common, we will both unhappy my dad was a straight laced guy, had so much integrity, never drank a drugged to an excess, in fact I don't think he ever tried drugs, I know he liked appear every once in a while. He was very talented, as a creative director and the advertising business, and a painter. It wasn't much he couldn't do on the creative side of the line. Me on the other hand I have some of his creative talents, but I certainly didn't do the right things at several different times in my life the alcohol and the drugs the lying, the deceit, and just the lifestyle I led, led to much unhappiness for me. Sometimes I just think I'm an unhappy person, and I'm not sure if that's the depression that I have or it's just my nature. My dad on the other hand had a lot of reasons to not be unhappy. But as a kid he was an only child, and his father was very critical of him no matter what he did. No matter how much success he had in the advertising business or how wonderful his paintings were I don't think his dad ever appreciated it. Instead of positive reinforcement Tommy there was always negative criticism. This led my dad to be very unsure of himself, very unhappy

My dad was a man of talent and integrity
And for some reason he always seemed unhappy
Just like me
Just like me
When I was young we would play catch in the driveway
He taught me how to pitch, hit, skate, and drive on the highway
He was unhappy
Just like me
Just like me
He was always there when I acted like a fool
He was always there when I got in trouble in school
He was unhappy
Just like me
Just like me
He was an award-winning Ad man and talented painter
He was a good dad and devoted to my mom, I know he loved her
He was unhappy
Just like me
Just like me
He loved animals and dogs, especially our girl Tess
For such a talented man, his life would end up a mess
He was unhappy
Just like me
Just like me

Ahdiah

By Howard Aronson

When I was a kid maybe about 11 or 12 it was a strange guy that was living in the town I lived in and you'd see him if you went downtown. People used to call him Ahdiah. Now we figured that probably wasn't as real name, but if you ask him his real name that's what he said. He was a funny little guy, and if he wasn't hanging out on the street looking like a homeless dude, he was down at the bar drinking. Now you didn't have much money, so obviously people used to buy them drinks and then make fun of them. They used to get a kick out of him saying his name over and over. And when he said his name we would repeat it back to him. Now the bar stories I only heard about, because I wasn't old enough to go into the bar but when he was on the street we did the same thing to him as the people did in the bar. He used to be an important guy, and I guess he had money at one time, but things changed. I feel bad today about making fun of him, but back then that's what kids used to do.

In the back room

By Howard Aronson

This is another lyric about keeping secrets. If you're a guy, you've probably been to a strip club. I also know that some women like to go to strip clubs. I spent a lot of time in the strip clubs when I was using cocaine, and I'll never forget asking a stripper if I could trade her cocaine for some head in the back room. She just laughed at me and said I get all the cocaine I want, I just steal it, or men just give it to me without wanting anything back. Sometimes, they think they're going to get something back but the only thing they get is taken advantage of. This happens in the back room, also known as the VIP room, but people pay lots of money to sometimes get something but most of the time just get taken.

You've got what I need

By Howard Aronson

This is a song about drugging, and running out. You'll do anything to get your next hit, or fix. It's sort of like a rhetorical question, what do I have to do to get what I need. It becomes a real question, when you approach the person that has what you need and basically begs them for it. Most of the time this is when I run out of money and I promise that I'll pay them later or something like that. It's a song of depth, and desperation

Firefly

By Howard Aronson

This lyric is about breaking up with someone that you're so in love with. It's so devastating, and so unexpected. You can't think straight, and you have to go to a place where you can try to get your head clear. There's also some anger involved here because the person is really resentful about how they broke up with them, by sending a text sometimes the only thing that lights up the sky is a firefly

Wake

By Karianne Gabaldon

A depressing song about self-harm and an eating disorder. Talking about being used and how people mistreat you. But you’re dead inside, so you’re welcoming people to your wake.

Summer Dream

By Isaac Wragg

This is a stab at the a classic summer song with an interpretive twist. I ignored the usual feel good and relational themes for one that hopefully leaves the listener guessing. What it meant to me while writing it will likely be completely different from what it means to you. However, the lyrics are simultaneously not super complex and allow for a celebratory, triumphant feeling to also shine through. Additionally, the rhyme scheme is intentionally a little odd to give the song a more memorable and unique sound.

Free Man

Free Man is a lyric about someone who takes his rights and freedom so liberally that he feels he can act in any way, and do whatever he wants, and no one can stop him.
