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.

Every soul you take (Howard Aronson)

This song is about the devil, or a demon, within. I can't say that everybody becomes like this at some point in their life but I know that I have there are definitely times when I've been deceiving, I got people to believe all the bullshit that I could make up I wanted everybody to do what I want them to do and I never let them be until they gave in. I lived in my own world, and it was mostly a fantasy. A world made up of lies, and deceit. I've seen this in other people as well, and it's easy for me to spot. It was a time in my life where I only hung around with people like me and all we did was try to get what we wanted by any means. Living life this way, is literally a living hell

Blind (Howard Aronson)

This lyric is about my situation currently. I'm going on 3 years of living in a sober house and at 62 years old some people would find it disgraceful and sometimes I do too. There are days I'm just going out of my mind, and even though I have a job, I'm bored the tears. I asked God is this the end of the line for me, is this as Good as It gets? All I want is a sign that there's something more than this. I know I've made mistakes, but I'm trying to make things right, stay sober, and hope that I get another chance to live on my own. It's frustrating to live in a house with 25 other people even though I have my own room and can get away when I want to nonetheless, to live like this is very sobering, but it also is not reality. I long for that opportunity to have the independence again.

Slipping away (Howard Aronson)

This lyric is about the backslide into addiction, knowing it, being sick and tired of it, and wanting to do something about it. It's about wanting to find some strength so I don't continue to fall. If anybody's a hiker, they'll know that hiking in the fall, after most of the leaves have fallen is very difficult when you're descending a Mountain. There's also the shadows that make it tough to see the rock that might be exposed or even sometimes how wet the leaves are. Because there's not as much light in the woods my shadows look longer, and cover up more ground. It's snowing all of this information, and having the experience of falling, that I have to change some of the things that I do when I hike and also some of the things that I do in life to keep me from slipping and falling. The more my life keeps slipping away, the harder it is to keep getting back up.

The Sun (Howard Aronson)

The song is about war despair no light at the end of the tunnel. And it's all because the sycophants, the people who look down on us for their own gain, as they rule the world. The sky is dark there is no sun there is no warmth there is no hope. The sky is just basically a roof that keeps out the light and if I ever see the light again it will be short-term. They will always be sycophants that come along and take control. It's been like that since the start of time. This lyric is very abstract, and there's a lot of ways you can interpret it. Even I'm having a tough time explaining why I wrote it and what it all means.

Card (Howard Aronson)

I dated a girl long time ago who is not in the cards if you can believe that. She wasn't that sentimental. And I think it's ironic that me being a writer I used to like to buy her cards because I felt the words inside with different than things that I could write in a sense. She did like flowers though, what girl doesn't. So I would buy a card from time to time and she would wait to open them or sometimes she would just open them and put them on the counter but she never put him in a place that I could see it like on a mantle or something like that. I found it strange for such a loving kind girl. We were both in our 30s, and very much in love but for some reason she thought that cards were just too much. Maybe I gave her too many. It's not to say that I didn't ever write songs about her, or lyrics about her if you will, or palms here and there. People say I should have gotten a job at hallmark, but that's not the way I write. What I write is very obscure, abstract at times, in the moment, and usually specific to a situation, thing, or person. It's also about subjects.
