After you were gone

(Howard Aronson)

This is a lyric about my grandfather, who is my best friend growing up. He was a self-made man, who had his own business as an electrician, and took me out to help him and taught me so many different lessons. If only I remembered those lessons and I didn't realize a lot of things that he taught me until after he was gone. I think if he could see me now he'd be very proud but there were times when he was alive that I was using and couldn't understand it and I'm sure after he was gone and he looked down at me and saw me abusing my life that he was saddened and could not explain why a fine young man who had all the abilities in the world to do anything he wanted, would throw away his life like that. I really miss my grandfather today, and I really reach back and try to take away things that he taught me and put them to use in my life today

One day at a time

By Howard Aronson

This lyric is about the motto for staying clean and sober, and I got this from the 12-step program of alcoholics anonymous. It's basically the motto for any type of 12-step program, and it's one day at a time. Sometimes just one moment or 1 hour or 1 minute at a time. You can't really let up your guard, because the disease is so insidious and sneaky. It'll take anything that you're willing to give it. And I don't mean just drugs and alcohol, because when you get sober you can get addicted to other things that aren't healthy. Today I have a passion for hiking, eating very healthy, it's being spiritual, and it's cerebral as I can be. I know that any day this disease could take over and so many different ways. As they say, the devil has many disguises. So I can just take it one day at a time.

Without a Trace

By Howard Aronson

This lyric is about a relationship with a person just leaves without a trace so to speak. It's a complete shock to the other person, and leaves them pretty pissed off. If they ever see that person again they'll basically just say fuck you. The person is still haunted by the other person and if they even hear that person's name it brings up bad memories they're haunted by their face, and if they see someone that reminds them of that person they get pissed off. All he wanted was for her to be honest, and let him know that she wanted to be free

Addict

By Howard Aronson

This lyric would be a grunge lyric, or a rock song. I was kind of influenced by Nirvana and the way I set the song up. They used to do a lot of their songs and repeat a line over and over, between two different verses. That's what I did in this lyric. When you're an addict, you go through so many different situations, and you need a little bit of luck on your side to get out of it alive.

I wish it was me

By Howard Aronson

This lyric is a true story about my ex-girlfriend. Today we are very close as friends, but it wasn't meant to be as far as us being together as a couple. I have lots of great memories of being around her whether it was when we were a couple, or when we were just friends. Today she's engaged, and quite frankly even though I know we weren't meant to be a couple, just a couple of friends, deep down I still wish that I was with her. We share a dog together, and it gives me so much pleasure to be able to go down and hang out with him a couple of days each week, and stay overnight with him when they go away. This relationship taught me a lot of things, but most of all acceptance, that some things just aren't meant to be, and there's nothing I can do about it.

Leave Her Alone

By Jones Lyrics

Topic(s): If we hold on to something too tight, it won't stay. Atmosphere: pop character, catchy chorus, singer/songwriter, charty, extraordinary verse melody, can be a stop & go style, can be melodically fluent Genre/Style I was thinking of: Pop, Singer/Songwriter, Indi-Electronic, Indi-Pop, Synth-Pop Artist(s) I was thinking of: Imagine Dragons, The Weeknd, dvsn, Awolnation, Milky Chance, Passanger, RacknBone, Topic (ft. A7S), Phil Might Leave,... Comments: typical pop-structure & easy to sing along with in the chorus. In the verses I thought of a lot of breaks (e.g. "How many"...break... "Times"; A bit like in the song "Believer" - Imagine Dragons). I might work with it myself, so cant give you exclusive licence on that one.
