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.

Wow! This was a tough one for me. For so long I never had mindfulness, even though I was told to be mindful many times without compassion we cannot have suffering and pain. Like I said in the lyric so many people walk around dead inside, they're so empty. This is because they have a loss of spiritual values, and are so self-consumed. They don't see the world around them, they don't have empathy for other people, don't have any self-esteem. It's time that we start to open our eyes to the world and become aware, and mindful of others. Only then can we start heading toward leading a peaceful, happy life both spiritually and physically.
This lyric is about knowing that I'm going to die, and being fearful of it. But I realize why should I be, as I've had a great life. And when you die you can't cry, other people do, and I want them to feel happiness and love instead of sadness that I'm gone. When it's time it's time, there's nothing we can do about it.
I don't think I could put 150 characters in here. This is obviously about my old girlfriend Lucy. Even though she's engaged to be married and we are best friends today, I still miss her dearly. We don't get to talk as much, I don't get to stay over her house and hang out with my dog, which we share. Unfortunately my place of living doesn't allow dogs, so I go down to her house a couple of days a week to hang out with him. This is life. I guess this song is meant to be sort of bluesy.
This song is about dealing with life On life's terms. In the past I used to deal with everything by getting high. Then I had periods of sobriety where I tried to learn how to deal with life on life's terms. Today I've come to the realization that there is no reason why I should get high over anything. I have choices in life, but the first step of AA, says that we are powerless over alcohol. I also include drugs in that, so I am powerless over drugs and alcohol. Being Powers over something, means that I have no choice in the matter. I've come to accept this as reality
Who wants to get old, right! One thing is for sure, we are all going to die. The sooner that we come to grips with that, we can move on and have a very happy life no matter what. Me being so athletic all my life and now being 62, I'm starting to feel some of the pains, the aches, and my body slowing down. I still train, and work out like I was in my twenties, and I'm even a professional Mountain guide, and hike with people a lot younger than me in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, which is a pretty tough place to hike. I don't want to get old, I don't want to be old! But there's nothing I can do about it, it is what it is, and I'm beginning to accept that, and embrace it. I'm very grateful, and very lucky to still be alive.
