about

Okay so this is a recording I made back in 2015 with Eric Van Thyne at his studio in his bedroom. Omar Akrouche was also a part of this recording. I have fond memories of our little drum circle for the percussion on this track. Another version of this song is featured in the first thing I ever worked on with Jonni a project called "Succession" which was never finished but there is a trailer.

Within the context of Barber this song resides in the section where Barber is headed to the airport for the first time and is riding in the car with their family. Originally I had a whole other piece of music written for this section that had a little pause where I thought it would be cool to have some thing playing in the car on the radio. I sent Jonni this song (she hadn't heard this version of it before) and she had the idea to use this song in that section instead of the other music I had written. A lovely little example of the kind of spontaneity that Jonni has when she works.

lyrics

Baby it's easy when you get just what you want
But sometimes it's just much harder than it looks
And baby it's easy when you get just what you need
But sometimes it all just goes
Straight to hell
Oh well

And maybe I'm just making this more complicated than it has to be
But I suppose that's all based on your ability to perceive
What is normal
And what is not

And I've been waiting for some destiny
Or clarity
Or something bigger than me

And maybe you're just trying to impress somebody else
But these decisions that you make are all part of a charade
And I hope that it is worth it
I said I hope that it is worth it

Because I've been waiting for some sympathy
Because honesty just isn't doing the trick
And I've been praying for some clarity or a prophesy
To hold onto what I believe

Swimming around in the shallow end of life is such a drag
But if you go too far off the deep end
You could loose everything you ever had

And baby it's easy when you get just want
But sometimes it all just goes
Straight to hell
