You can be

(Howard Aronson)

This is a quirky little lyric, with some humor to it, and just written they very rhythmic way it's things you can be both positive and negative, and the same and opposite. I don't really know how I thought of it, just kind of evolved from one line to the next.

You can kill
You can be killed
You can be amped up
You can be chill
It doesn't matter
How you get your thrills

You can be high
You can be low
You can be short
Or let yourself grow
It doesn't matter
That's all I know

You can be walking
You can be running
You can be ugly 
You can be stunning
And maybe
You can be cunning

You can be waiting
You can be going
You can be stagnant
You can be flowing
You can be pushing
And sometimes towing

You can be 
Anything you want
You can be home
You can be on a jaunt

You can be happy
You can be mad
You can be laughing
You can be sad

You can be anything
If you choose it

After you were gone

By Howard Aronson

This lyric is about my best friend ever, my grandfather. He was my mom's dad, and he was a self-made man. He had to leave school in the 9th grade to help support 11 brothers and sisters. He went to work at the electric company where he learned how to be an electrician. He eventually started working for someone as an electrician, and then started in his own business. He had a few trucks, and Men working for him. I used to go with him and be his helper, but me being me, I always wanted to know when lunch was, or if we could take a coffee break, things like that. But he taught me many lessons, and I realize them later in life. I know he was always proud of me no matter what but he just couldn't figure out how I would throw my life away for drugs and alcohol. I was sober when he died, and I know that he's looking down on me now, and always remains in my corner. I'll never forget him, I'll always love him.

Jacket

By Howard Aronson

This lyric is about a gift I got from her old girlfriend, and shortly after she gave it to me I found out she was cheating. I was so pissed off and broke up with her immediately. But one thing that I've loved as far as clothing goes his leather jackets, and she knew that. That's why she gave me a leather jacket, because she wanted to keep me happy even though I kind of said something wasn't right. Then I found out the bad news. After that I got rid of everything that would be any kind of memory of her, except the leather jacket I wanted to get rid of it but I just couldn't. I don't know if it was my love for leather jackets, or I just wanted one piece of something to hang on to that was a part of her. I guess I'll never know

Basking in the light

By Howard Aronson

This lyric is about my first real love, when I was living in San Francisco in 1984. As soon as I saw her I was completely attracted and wanted to know who she was. She was on a life cycle at the gym, and as luck would have it after waiting for one to open up the one next to her became available. I waited for about 10 minutes and then asked her name and introduced myself. I asked her out to dinner, she said yes and the rest was all history as they say. Even though she had a boyfriend back in Canada, they had an agreement that they were free to do what they wanted while they were apart from each other. Being so young I didn't care about the boyfriend back in canada, and I had already come to grips with the fact that one day she would go back there for good because she was on a student visa. I can't even begin to tell you the unbelievable times that I had with her, and how she shaped my mind as far as women and their needs and so much more for years to come. Now in my 60s, I still remember her like yesterday. There are times when I want to go back to that time in the gym and see the first love of my life.
