One chance

(Howard Aronson)

This is a lyric about a woman that I fell in love with but she's a little gun shy. She's been hurt more than once by past relationships, and it seems like she might compare me to some guys that are in her past. All I'm asking for is one chance to prove to her that I'm not like anybody else that she's met in her past and been out with. I'm My own man, with values, integrity, and a track record of keeping my promise. All I need is that one chance to prove it, which is easier said than done. It's really hard sometimes to break through the walls of someone that's been hurt in the past in a relationship. But, if I'm unable to open up her heart and break through those walls, then I must turn and walk away. I know she's fearful, all I can do is recognize that, and hopefully prove to her if she gives me that chance, that I am different.

Right from the start
I fell in love with you
I couldn't believe it
My dream had come true

So why don't you stay
Instead of running away
Are you scared
I won't always be there
So why don't you stay
Instead of running away
Are you scared
I won't always be there

I know you lack trust
And that you've been hurt
Because of the last guy
Who treated you like dirt

Baby, please don't compare me
To anyone in your past
Just give me one chance
To show my love for you will last

So why don't you stay
Instead of running away
Are you scared
I won't always be there
So why don't you stay
Instead of running away
Are you scared
I won't always be there

I promise to make you laugh
And never make you cry
I'll pledge my love to you
Until the day I die

So please don't compare me
To anyone in your past
Just give me one chance
To show my love for you will last

So why don't you stay
Instead of running away
Are you scared
I won't always be there
So why don't you stay
Instead of running away
Are you scared
I won't always be there

Pushing up daisies

By Howard Aronson

This song is about death and the acceptance of it. If there's one thing I know we're all going to die at some point, we may not know how and we may not know when, but the sooner we accept death the easier it will be to move on with life. There's no reason to fear it, especially if we know it's going to happen sooner or later. Instead we can celebrate it, and no that with life, will come death, and another life after death.

Uprooted

By Howard Aronson

This lyric is about the war / atrocity that's happening in Ukraine. Let's call it for what it is it's homicide, it's genocide, it's criminal point blank. What else can I really say about this lyric. It's really self-explanatory, and just goes to show you what one country that thinks it's all powerful and above all the rules, can do to another country that's trying to live peacefully. Yeah there's always more to the story, and sometimes it gets complicated in that region, but let's face it it could have been handled in a much different way.

Out of the blue

By Howard Aronson

This lyric is about a relationship that has been going bad for quite some time. There's been no affection at all no intimacy either spoken or physical. But we talked about this, and things seem to be getting better. Been out of the blue, comes this bullshit about her wanting to leave. Being a perceptive person, I can see through all the lies and know that there's somebody else. I call her on this, and it makes me angry. Basically I say go ahead and leave it's not going to kill me or crush me.

You don't love me no more

By Howard Aronson

This lyric is about a girlfriend I was with and she was very bad at communicating her feelings, unlike me. I'm a very perceptive person, and we had been going out for years. I knew when she was keeping something from me and wouldn't tell me. She also had a very hard time showing affection and expressing love. I found this all very frustrating, and it got to the point where I knew she didn't love me anymore. This is an old lyric that I wrote some time ago when I was probably in my 30s about her. I just took it and rewrote it a little bit, but I always kept the title you don't love me no more. I hope you enjoy it.

Irony

By Stanley Chris

Communication is one of the biggest challenges couples face. Most of the fatal issues that end up burying relationships are things that'd have been easily solved by a few minutes of honest conversation. That is the dilemma the persona in this song finds himself grappling with. In Verse 1 he alludes to the fact that the lover reacts quite negatively when they have arguments. He likes to pour his heart out, and says he doesn't want to measure his words. They had agreed to be brutally frank with each other should matters arise, yet when he uses that latitude to express himself, the other gets offended most times. In Verse 2 the same thought is followed up: she prefers to solve problems using parables and indirect references, forcing him to read between her lines to figure out what she's trying to say, and that often adds salt to the injury, when he finds himself unable to get her. The Chorus is a heavy confession: she puts him between a rock and a hard place, trying to choose between her fragile feelings and the naked truth. If it's all about protecting her from the hurt, then he loses his voice in situations where the truth would inevitably destroy her. The Bridge further intensifies the drama, buttressing the apparent irony in her actions. She's afraid to face the truth, and is conservative with it when it comes to her turn to speak.

Adieu

By Sherab Lhamo

A song in which love is compared to fighting a losing battle. War here is the relationship while the battles are the feelings. It’s when you do everything you can and realize there’s nothing left to give. So you accept defeat and bid farewell

Turn The Tide

By Steven Soucy

Turn the Tide is about war, fighting for your people and homes. The moment the aggressor learns they cannot defeat you. In honor of Ukraine and their people.

Dear Storm

By Karianne Gabaldon

A lyric about facing your toughest storm and begging for mercy; you cannot fight this fight anymore, so you’re giving up—throwing in the towel. You just want this heavy storm to pass.
