Howard Aronson

I would like to introduce Howard Aronson. Howard is a "lover' of music and the lyrics that define a song. He has been writing since he was 8,. First with short stories in grade school, and then jokes as a Stand Up Comedian in the 80's. Howard is one of the most creative, and funny guys I have ever met.

Howard listens to a wide range of music, like Pearl Jam, The White Buffalo, Echo and The Bunneymen, Roxy Music, The Furs, Johnny Cash, and more. He is a fan of Rock, Blues, Progressive, New Wave, some punk, classical, jazz and country music.

Howard's lyrics are raw, real, deep, and razor sharp. They are stories, and ballads about himself and his battle with Addiction and Mental Illness. They are about his girlfriend's, his family, and upbringing, his friends, places he has been, and the experiences he has had in the past to present day. Some lyrics are about fictional characters as well.

Howard sees his lyrics being used for many different genres of music. All I will say is Howard is a "diamond in the rough", and could be someones Bernie Taupin. The possibilities are endless for him, and any singer/songwriter or band that wants to tap into his super creative, impactful, and emotional lyrics/mind. He will bring you to great highs, and depressing lows, that cut right to the bone.

This lyric is about a relationship where the man makes a big mistake and the relationship falls apart. Now he's having remorse everyday and every night, and reminiscing and all that was good about what they had. At first he didn't think that he deserved to be on the outside looking in. But then when he thought about what he did he realized the mistake that he made. Basically he's pleading to her for one more chance, and it's telling her in so many words how sorry he is, and talking about the good things that they had in the past
This lyric is about decision time. One person in the relationship, has been waiting for so long for an opportunity to come through and it finally does the only problem is it's in a different place than where they live now. She is sad and doesn't know what she's going to do without him. But he tells her that she can come with him and that he wants to marry her and be with her for the rest of her life. Is a happy ending definitely to this lyric.
I wrote this song in about 20 minutes, it's my latest lyric, and it was inspired by listening to Eric Clapton. I really liked the template for the rhyming that they used, something that I haven't done before and that's when the first line and the last line rhymes and the two middle lines rhyme. I'm trying to write differently using different rhyme schemes, and hopefully write something that has no rhymes at all or very few, and has no sense of sequence for lack of a better word. I think when you hear a song you can tell maybe when the rhyme is going to come, and I want to try to do something when you're reading the lyric, and then you're all sudden surprised by the rhyme. This lyric is about a relationship that's coming to an end. Nobody's talking and through all the silence, there's a good chance that this is going to start a huge argument one person knows that they can't do it anymore that they just had it, and they pretty much know what's going on I came up with the chorus just on a whim. I wanted to do something catchy, but not to juvenile. I mean this isn't a nursery rhyme like the one that says pick Up sticks, as I really can't remember it verbatim it was so long ago.
This lyric is about me being in the throes of my addiction. It's what it felt like when I was sitting in my house getting high, with a feeling of desperation, and of hopelessness. I felt like that many times, in fact probably every time I was high, even though I thought I was having fun. At the end it certainly wasn't any fun no matter how hard I tried. I guess I was desperate on both sides of the coin desperate to try to find some some fun or happiness, and also some desperation to find relief. Trying to find fun and happiness and anything that's useful out of using drugs, is an illusion. Basically when you're inside getting high you're just stuck in the four walls of your house, apartment, room whatever. It's self imprisonment. There's no hope, time is there seems like there's no end in sight, and that's when you need to get desperate, and have faith that someone out there cares enough to lead you out of the fire.
I was inspired to write this lyric the other day, because of the terrorist act that happened in New York City on a subway train. It has to do with how accessible guns are in our country, and how they end up in the wrong people's hands. I'm not against the second amendment, but what I am against is getting guns illegally, or not doing the proper background checks. The person that did this the other day, could be very mentally ill, and should be given support way before these things come to fruition. You definitely was a very angry, and deranged person, but who knows what demons he was fighting. No I'm not excusing the act at all, and he should be prosecuted to the fullest extent, or sent to a mental facility for the rest of his life. But the fact that guns are so easily accessible, will continue to keep these mass shootings happening.
