about

I wrote this in New Orleans during a low point in my emotional state.

lyrics

the priority of making ends meet
that's just learning how to play the game
and all the intricacies of the life you lead are just yearning to rearrange
and to move with the change
I don't know what you've been told
you've got to keep your sight on the whole
because everyone gets so caught up in taking their own road
but you gotta keep moving on
and sing your own song

how does it feel when life seems surreal
and you can't understand why this keeps happening
how does it feel?
how do you feel?

how does it feel when life seems too real
and you can't understand why this keeps happening
how does it feel?
how do you feel?

Saw these guys play one of their first shows and they were amazing. Great production quality on the recordings and their live sound is spot on as well. The Loneliness Monk

There Are AMERICAS Beyond This America
by Greg Mullen and The Cosmic American Band

I met this guy busking on 6th street in Austin right when he moved there. Easily one of my favorite people and albums. Even if country isn't for you check it out, his lyrics are the best. The Loneliness Monk
