What I Know Now

(Rupert Webb)

Exactly what it says in the title. This is a slightly humorous retrospective of the singer’s life. It picks on several random lessons learned before focussing on relationships and specifically in the last verse, a marriage. Would probably suit a three chord rock song or something more broken down in a Talking Heads/Vampire Weekend style.

You shouldn’t go out on a bicycle with out some bits and pieces
Unprotected camping holidays can pass on strange diseases
It takes a lifetime to appreciate some varieties of cheeses
Sometimes everybody likes to feel like they are needed

I try not to doubt
What I think I know now
Couldn’t live without
All this valuable know how

Some girls want boys who can decide and be in charge as well
But if you miss the thing they want, they’ll make your life like Hell
The difference between girls and boys is way more than the smell
For certain situations there’s a special kind of gel

A curious disposition makes an interesting life
I even did the family thing and found myself a wife
But I wasn’t very good at that and we caused each other strife
And now I live in splendid isolation. Which is nice!

Shadow

By Rupert Webb

This song is about a man who has lost in love and lost everything. He might be a vagrant, or just searching for meaning on a long journey.

Landlord

By Rupert Webb

This song is about stress and mental illness, maybe schizophrenia. There is certainly paranoia and fear in the lyrics, but it is mixed with confusion and a list of bizarre happenings. The subject just wants some calm, but they are too busy rationalising their existence to their alter ego. The landlord in question might be another personality in the same mind, but it’s deliberately obscure. The Landlord could easily be changed to a she and refer to the subject as “girl”, not “son” for a female singer. The Queen could be lunching with almost anyone with a three syllable name. I wrote it as Clint Eastwood originally.

Crazy Beautiful

By Nick Duer

Another Angel song. She has long flowing hair, and drives a jeep alot of the time. She commented one day that her hair was crazy. I'm living a long way away, and I don't think it was jeep weather there. However I pictured her in the jeep hair blowing everywhere and shorts. A beautiful picture indeed. So my comment was crazy beautiful. I added that was a good song title. I was headed to a doctors appointment that day. So as I waited I wrote the first draft. Here is my final version.

Yearn Perpetual

This work is about the inability to cease the yearning for a lost love. It entreats the absent lover to return and hopes that the separation is temporary.
