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 song about someone who stops believing. There's just so much wrong about the world, and they ponder about God's existence. They're not sure that they really can fully understand all this, but it's a reality. All they want to do is just leave this all behind and move into another phase of life, but they can't. There's no escaping reality. You can leave everything behind, and go somewhere else, but it's like the mail, everything is forwarded to you.
This lyric was inspired by the rapper Lil Durk. He said something that stuck with me when I was watching an interview with him on the Ari melber show. He said that you can never be healed. I kind of relate to that, because I always say don't stop healing. I've gone through so much adversity in my life and come out the other side. But I can't stop thinking that I've got everything under control. I have to continue as we heal the wounds that I created throughout the years, and try not to pick them like a scab, so that I will wake them up. In some ways I had to think about this a lot, because there was a time in my life when I believed that I was healed. Another way of putting it is that I'll never be cured from the disease of addiction. I'll always have to take my medicine every day.
This is a weird lyric I'm not even sure the real meaning of it. I just know that for so many years I turned to drugs to find peace which is an oxymoron. I never took the word no for an answer in just about everything I did. I only wanted to hear yes, or thought that I could do anything. I realized today that no is an answer, and some things are just out of my reach. I definitely realize today that drugs was not the answer and I should have said no.
This is a lyric about two people in a relationship where one is so critical of the other that it's absolutely ruining the relationship. The person asks can't you just say one good thing about me? All they have here is the negative, constant criticism, and being put down. It's gotten to the point where the other person can't take it anymore and the relationship is in jeopardy.
This is a fictional Rock lyric about a relationship that has grown to the point where the person can't take it anymore. They've been tormented by this relationship so much that they have thoughts of killing the other person if they stay with them one more day. I know I've been in relationships where it's really torn my soul out but I don't think I've ever been one where I was so angry that I thought I couldn't stay with the person one more day or I'd kill them, but I'm sure it's probably happened many times. Personally I think this makes for a great Rock song, it's an angry lyric, and maybe I was in an angry mood when I wrote it.
