about

Spending a long period of time in a mental hospital can make every day feel the exact same (like the Bill Murray movie). During that time, however, I was loaned an acoustic guitar (that I had to learn upside down because I'm left-handed and it was a righty). I would get some time to play in the nearby laundry room, and eventually started writing the songs that are on this album. "Groundhog's Day" was the first song I wrote, and was written about these experiences.

lyrics

Verse 1:
Four seasons pass me by, it's as I feared
I'm never gonna see the way out of here
Pessimistic future is my destiny
Dark clouds are all around and all I see
I wish I could see the sun again
I want to be free and to be zen
I'm having a hard time seeing past my pain
And I don't know what you want, it's making me insane

Chorus:
I wake up, go to bed
Feels like I am now brain-dead
Twice a day, take a pill
Wonder if I have had my fill
Hear the lights as they hum
In this sanitarium
Will I go, will I stay
Or will I relive Groundhog's Day?

Verse 2:
I sit in a laundry room with a guitar
And I'm nowhere near my home, I am so far
Try to make some random chords to get some sound
'Cause this southpaw's playin' it all upside-down
Everyday, I sleep a lot because I'm bored
'Cause I've got these goddamn songs I can't record
And my past, I continue to here grieve
And I wonder, "will it end, will I soon leave?"

Chorus

The Journey Has Just Begun...

I knew Joe Mayeur, the guitarist on this album. It's also a great album if you're into reggae from the Dairy State. Buskers
