about

As is often the case, I wanted to write a song with a positive message and, while this one ultimately does I think, it comes off a little negative. But that's just the initial impression I hope.

From the February Album Writing Month (FAWM) challenge of 2011, where you write AND record 14 songs in 28 days.

LYRICS

It doesn't matter if your mother is a Catholic
It doesn't matter if your father is one too
It doesn't matter if you're living in a castle
It doesn't matter if you're living in a zoo

You're alone like everyone
Everyone's alone like you
You're alone like everyone
Everyone is just like you

It doesn't matter if your face is uncertain
It doesn't matter if your smile is 3 miles wide
It doesn't matter if you think you've got it figured out
Everybody and their monkey's got something to hide

You're not alone like everyone
Everyone is just like you
You're not alone like everyone
Everyone is just like you

Are you like everyone?

about

The Marble Tea Point Pleasant Beach, New Jersey

Drawing mandalas and watching Captain Kangaroo...that's pretty much what it's like in here. I enjoy writing songs about my cats and cartoon insects, but I'm also fond of feeling up the tentacles that lead to the oneness of existence. That's the Marble Tea experience.

Recommended for fans of Jonathan Richman, Robyn Hitchcock, Jazz Butcher, Magnetic Fields, etc.
