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 is a lyric about a relationship where I know it's over and she's not fooling me at all. I confront her and ask her to tell me the truth about what's really going on even though I know in my heart what it is. I know that sometimes love is so hard to let go of just like the person is. It's really hard to say goodbye. But at times you know love is blind as they say, and to walk away is the last thing you want to do love is full of pain, love is like the blues hence the name of the song
This lyric is about when I was using drugs, mostly crack cocaine. I remember there was a time when I was in my living room drinking a beer and smoking crack and I thought to myself I've been up for 6 days what a run this has been. I'll tell you I felt like I was just killing myself, and what a fucked up way of doing it. It was slow and painful. By this time in my using career, it was no fun to be had the only thing that I had was I had to do it. Mentally I just couldn't stop the thoughts from racing in my head, to use drugs, and numb everything out. It's a really messed up feeling, one that I don't want to ever feel again. I know today, at least for today I won't be out on another run.
This lyric is about early sobriety. I know I could speak for myself when I say that early sobriety is the make or break point. You're still depressed, and have dark days and dark nights. It's the time when most people just say fuck it, and go back to using. I was able to get through the dark days and the dark nights, and come out the other side and be the person that I am today. I know what it feels like to be like I am today, because I had long-term sobriety before, and I went through that early sobriety pain. All I can say about that early sobriety time is don't think too much, don't complicate things, just stay clean one day at a time and things will get better. They did for me. I kept it simple, but one foot in front of the other, and work my way through any of the pain. There is light at the end of the tunnel, you just have to give it time.
This lyric is a pretty simple lyric about when I was using drugs and knew that my life was headed in the wrong direction. Down deep I knew that I was going to crash and burn because it was a dead end direction. I needed to make a U-turn and turn my life around, which I did. Having done that, for almost 3 years now, my life is definitely in the right direction. There's no worse feeling than having a life dependent on drugs and alcohol. And there's no better feeling to have the freedom to do what you want because you've arrested that problem. I'm very grateful to be clean and sober today. Sometimes you know what you have to do to make that U-turn, but it's the hardest thing that you'll ever have to do if you are an addict.
This lyric is about the dreaded words just friends. No guy wants to be put into the friend zone. Whether you get a chance to date the girl, or she immediately determines that you're just friends and put you in the friend zone it's never easy to hear those words. My last relationship was with a woman that I fell in love with but I could see it coming that we were only going to be just friends. Today we are very close as friends, and she is engaged to get married. We share a beautiful dog together and our friendship is very unique and special. There were times when I know I wouldn't have made it without her support. Sometimes things are just meant to be that way and we weren't meant to be a couple, we were meant to be a couple of friends. This lyric is kind of about that, but it's more about the hurt that somebody feels when they're told that they just want to be friends.
