lyrics

The streets are all iced over now,
no going home tonight.
Break out the eggnog and last year's fruitcake,
the kind that no one liked.
And if the conversation's superficial,
just tune in to a TV special.

Stop for a breather in an upstairs bathroom,
you're gonna make it out alive.
Change the sheets on the bed in the guest room,
everything's gonna be alright.
And if your blood pressure's hitting at uncomfortable levels
just sit back and watch that TV special.

Put the best silverware out on the table,
ignore the passive slights.
Chatter away about the PTA,
plug in all the lights.
And if the conversation turns too personal,
just glue yourself to that TV special!

Wild, slightly funky, slightly proggy indie rock songs that make you feel alive. Harrison Lemke

Child of My Sorrow
by The Chairman Dances

I'm in awe of the stories Eric tells with such an economy of words here. The magnificent arrangements and weighty vocals, which seem always about to fade into sigh or groan, also help. Harrison Lemke

Boots Quest DX OST
by Dragon Warrior

I made a video game, and this is the soundtrack by my Casiotone guitar pop / ambient / experimental music project. That's a weird digression but sometimes life is like that. Harrison Lemke
