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.

In the mid 80s until the mid-90s I was really into grunge music. Bands like tad, Green River, mudhoney, Pearl jam, Mother Love Bone, and Nirvana just to name some of them. So yesterday I wrote this lyric thinking back to when I was a teenager, and knew some of these guys in school that were like my lyric. I was a jock / athlete if you don't know what jock means. I definitely like the smoke pot before school, during school and after school but I wasn't an outcast, didn't wear black, and didn't see the world in such a dark way. Lyric is about that type of teenager, who's angry, full of frustration, is rebellious, and just wants a way out of the town he's living in the Life he's living in but doesn't know how. That's definitely a dangerous thing for this type of teenager.
This lyric is about music, and the voices that sing it. Music is always been a huge part of my life as long as I can remember. As a little boy I used to sit and listen to Neil diamond, Elton John, Roberta flack, and as I got older, heavier rock and roll. I have a lot of different genres of music that I listen to and get inspired by. But there are some voices that just melt me, bring tears to my eyes. There are lyrics that do the same thing, and it inspires me to write. I only wish I could write like that. But without music and without words I don't know what I would do, so I'm so grateful that it has a big part in my life.
This lyric is about me leaving somebody that I really loved, but I had to do it, and I couldn't even say goodbye. I used the boat in a metaphorical way, to just sail Away and not look back. Life can be cruel and joyful the same time and I always wondered why I couldn't be the latter more than the former. I've had my share of cruel times in my life, as well as joyful. It just seems like the former has overtaken the latter. I know a lot of it has to do with my own choices, but other stuff is not my fault. I didn't ask to be born with ADHD, bipolar disorder, clinical depression, and anxiety. I've logged to find someone who understands me, and accepts me for who I am, but my choices with relationships has never been good. This lyric is another example of someone that I picked, and that I really loved, but was mature enough to know that I needed to leave it.
This lyric is about a love lost.... I'm not talking directly to the person, I'm just talking out loud to myself, and asking the questions that are in the lyric. It gets to the point where I want to take my life, and find myself staring at a knife. I contemplated about calling the song staring at a knife, but I wanted to put a positive spin on it and called it meet again. The song is hopeful that I will meet my love again, and I won't have to use the knife.
This lyric is about how I feel about myself and how I relate or it relates to the world around me. I think for so long in my life, I felt like I never fit in. This is one of the big reasons why I turned to drugs and alcohol. But I ended up feeling the same there too. I just need to find a place in life where I feel comfortable. It's an everyday search for me.
