A SONG FOR STEVE

My friend Steve Madigan, playing with his band, Dose Of Adolescence in 2005. He passed away a year later at the age of 21 from a car accident. I wrote this song to help deal with the pain that I was feeling at the time and to let him know that I was thinking about him. I think he would have dug the title. I miss you bro.

Guinness Never Lets Me Down

All on my own in so many ways

They say I'm the most selfish and fake

But how can I shake off one more loss?

How can I shake off one more loss unlike it's one more life?

And I imagine what it's like to die:

I fall back into clouds, there goes my head

I allowed myself to get caught up in the moment once again

Transcending space and time must be way more fun than some may advertise

Hold my hand as I touch the sky

I see you when I close my eyes

Dreaming of love, life in the sun

My days are full of sweat, my nights full of fun

And Stephen it seems this life ain't even good for me

I wanna be the complete opposite of me

And I no longer fear death 'cause I'll be with you

PHILOSOPHICAL SONG

Minty Core Radio Presents "Philosophical Song" by Bryan Boatman

So this is life
What a silly little game
And this is me
And I was just trying to be myself

It seems to me that everyone is anxious
And afraid to be happy and courageous
And the pain I see is all wrapped up in greed
And I was just trying to be myself

I don't know what the hell the future holds
And so life goes... you wake up one day, and now you're old
As the smog layer grows, our children will be left without hope
I love you all, goodbye, farewell

And I was just trying to be myself

SEACREST CULTURE

I thought this was my life
Turns out I was all wrong
I'm sick of being sold a lie
Fuck that "I wanna be a billionaire" song
Sometimes I wonder what is real
Without a healthy Earth to live on
I don't wanna care how many "Likes"
I don't want a thousand-dollar bottle at the club
I don't want to elevate money over love
I don't want to hold beliefs of past millenia
I don't want to waste my time with corporate media
The world keeps trying to tell me who it thinks I should be
Part of the Ryan Seacrest Culture
And people try to sell me on the virtue of greed
And to cast aside all my sensibilities
