Mr. Throwaway

(Nicole Krueger)

A song from the perspective of those "throwaway characters" in stories -- the cannon fodder, the collateral damage, the expendable side-character. A humorous take on "insignificant" people and the heroism of being forgotten.

I’m the trooper with the helmet that never shows his eyes, ‘cause no one wants to get attached before my quick demise. I’m the one unlucky citizen with the knife inside my back, dead by Chapter One, so you can have a case to crack. And no one gives a second thought; they got no tears to cry, ‘cause my name is Mr. Throwaway and all I do is die. I’m the nameless starship crewman; I’m the messenger you shot. I’m the first man going overboard, the kid the monster got. In another universe, perhaps, I’d have a wife and son, a dog, a couple daughters, safe and living, every one; But let dreams for now be silenced and let teardrops fill my eye, ‘cause, yeah, I’m Mr. Throwaway but I still don’t want to die. O, eyes on the horizon! though there’s no horizon there, and pray I meet ungloried Death with a face still clear and fair— Not the courage of the hero, not the courage of the friend, just the courage of a simple man whose beginning is his end. So I walk into the darkness with no one asking why, ‘cause my name is Mr. Throwaway and I’m only made to die. Maybe, there’s a place for us who died on field and street, and high on silver mountaintops the faceless soldiers meet— We’ll toast to those who needed us to make their stories grand, and wine will flow forever in another, better, land. So stand and face the chasm, with your nameless head held high. Fall bravely, Mr. Throwaway, for not in vain you die.

Neverland stories

A song about seeking for purpose. Dedicated to the children in my family to thank them for making me find myself in a very bright light after all the downs I´ve been through. Also a promise for always being on their side, no matter what, in any way.

All or nothing

By Howard Aronson


This song is really about nothing in particular. It's obscure enough, that you can derive your own meaning from it. I was inspired to write this by the psychedelic furs.

Miss Susie

By Karianne Gabaldon


A song about a loved one struggling with addiction, and there is absolutely nothing that person can do to save her. Miss Susie is referred by the game we played as kids. I used the wordplay because I feel like Miss Susie (the girl in the game) was a bit distressed as well. Please enjoy these lyrics, and if there is anyone you know struggling with addiction and there is nothing you can do, I am sorry and I deeply feel you.

Thank You Song (Children Ages 2-6)

By John Clayton


This is a fun song designed for Children (Aged 2-6) to bring back the concept of remembering to say Thank You into their everyday lives, not just in expected cases but for other gifts that we are given throughout our lives on this Planet. Gratitude is a powerful force and in today's overwhelming environment it sometimes gets lost in the shuffle.
