Singing on the corner

(Howard Aronson)

This is a fictional lyric about someone who's a sidewalk performer, and hoping that he makes a big someday. It's so hard to become a star at anything, even if you're good, to be a pro at it is mostly a dream and people's minds. But you can never give up, and hope that one day you'll get a chance to prove to everyone that you belong on the big stage.

He stands on the corner Singing and playing his guitar He's there everyday Wishing he was a star Guitar case on the ground There's some bills and some change He wakes up everyday Knowing it's hard to reach fortune and fame He prays everyday That he will get his chance Time is running out Time is running out He's been doing this for a while No longer a young man He used to have a real job That he couldn't stand All he needs is a chance Someone to give him a break He'll keep singing on that corner If that's what it takes The old guitar was a gift When he was a little boy It was for his sixth birthday It was better than just a toy He's been doing this for a while No longer a young man He used to have a real job That he couldn't stand He just loves singing Doing it makes him proud He believes one day he'll make it He loves playing for the crowd He prays everyday That he will get his chance Time is running out Time is running out All he needs is a chance Someone to give him a break He'll keep singing on that corner If that's what it takes All he needs is a chance Someone to give him a break He'll keep singing on that corner If that's what it takes

Gambling Man

By Howard Aronson

This lyric is about being clean and sober and not going back to drugs. Not listening to the lies that my head tells me. I know that every day that I was out there I was a gambling man, and I skirted death. But today I'm not willing to gamble my sobriety and I don't really do any gambling in general.

Dealing with dreams

By Howard Aronson

This is a lyric about dreaming. I think most of our lives are consumed by dreams that may or may not come true. We always ask ourselves what's the point of living, why are we on this earth, what's our purpose. I think you have to believe in anything that you dream if you wanted to come true. Nothing's over till it's over, so at the end of the day you hope that there's a next one, and maybe that's the day your dreams come true.

Miss Right

By Howard Aronson

This is a lyric about never being able to find the true love that my heart and mind desires. There's been times when I think I was afraid to go up to somebody and tell them that I like them or thought they were beautiful or even just to ask them if they were single and ask if they want to go out on a date. One day I think I'll have the courage, or maybe the good fortune of finding that woman. I guess I just have to leave it up to fate, hope that organically it happens.

Don't be afraid

By Howard Aronson

This lyric is about being able to speak the truth, speak your mind and not be afraid to do it. So many of us live in fear today, because of all the misinformation, and all the hate in the world. But we have to stand up to all of that, and be honest that if we work together the world will be a better place to live.
