Gerard O'Riley

In family ties the artist explains his relationship to his Family. The first stanza he explains how his family always had trouble getting along. In the second stanza he explains how his dad just left and left his mother and his sister alone. Third stanza he explains how he still didn't get along well with his mother but still loved her with all his heart. the refrain is to be sung by a high voice and to be seen as the completion of the last sentence of each stanza.

One Love is about a big love that the artist had, but the girl wasn't ready to commit! It hurt hime so bad, he was filled with pain. To compensate for that he wrote this song!

"Look at us" describes the the developing of the artist and his crew after being thought to fail in life and finding his own path. He describes different steps that he went through and how it wasn't always easy. Ms. Peggy was his 8th grade teacher who didn't like him at all and Mr. C was his P.E. teacher who always talk down on him, didn't let him on to the travel team even though he was good enough. Emmie was his first crush and H-A-G is a dude from his school who he hated.

A lover suspects their counterpart of being unfaithful. A punk rock style song.

This is a spiritual song, a happy song. A song about those few times in this lifetime that make all the difficult things worthwhile. I saw the sunset in Vegas one evening and the beauty brought tears to my eyes and a feeling of peace that is beyond description.
