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.

This lyric is not about me or my father, it's about a friend whose father used to feed him all the time when we were growing up. I didn't understand this, as I had so much love in my family and I don't think my parents ever hit me once. Yeah they would raise their voice and yell, and try to teach me lessons and other ways when I was wrong. But my friend experienced such a hard life growing up, but today is one of the most gentle people you could ever imagine. He's married with kids, and there's no comparison to the way his father treated him the way he treats his children. I think it's a shame what people do to their kids when they treat them with abusive behavior. That's what this lyric is about, abusive behavior.
This lyric is about gratitude. It's something that I really focus on daily. It's very important when you're clean and sober to be grateful on a daily basis. There are so many things to be grateful for, but first and foremost I'm grateful to be so over today. That in and of itself is a miracle. I'm so used to dealing with life by numbing it and pushing it away. For so long I've lacked the proper copic skills, and the only way I coped was using drugs and alcohol. Although I've had many different lengths of sobriety, these last three years have been really different for me living in a sober house with 24 other people has helped me to be more aware of what I'm grateful for on a daily basis. It's helped me to learn how to cope with life on life's terms and not thinking about using a drink or a drug to get by. It helps me remember when times were really tough, and how I put myself in those situations. Today I'm just so grateful, for so many things.
This lyric is a tribute to Nirvana, and written the way they wrote many songs. Doesn't have a lot of lyrics, they're very repetitive, but it's meant to be that way. Kurt Cobain wrote a lot of songs this way, and I really admired can not having to use a lot of different words to get the point across. I didn't have sex until I was 18 and I had graduated high school. All my friends were having sex, but I was so naive, and a little bit tentative when it came to women I remember going out with a girl, we went to where everybody goes parking, and I just sat there, I didn't even try to kiss her. We never went out again, and later in life I found out when I was talking to her on facebook, that she thought I didn't like her. In reality I did, but I was just too scared to show her any affection. Maybe I held her hand once or something like that. So this lyric is about when I was 17
This is a lyric about a rock and roll star who's trying to resurrect his career later in life. He still believes he can "the man". But he realizes once he is in the position to be the man, he can't do it. It's sad to see, but he knows the reality of the situation. He never did it for the notoriety or the for the money, he did it for the fans. But he knows that he can't perform the way he used to or wants to, and that would be a disservice to his fans. Now that he knows his career is pretty much over he packs his bags and doesn't have any destination at all.
This is a lyric about what a teacher used to say to me when I was in school I think it was Junior High, might even been high school. Since I was adhd, it was always in some kind of trouble or mess I definitely stood out. I also would talk out of turn, talk to people that were sitting next to me when the teacher was talking, you get the picture, why we used to say to me just zip it. I think it's a funny lyric, it shows that I had a cool personality, always had a smile on my face even though I was getting myself into some jams. It wasn't malicious trouble, more disruptive trouble.
