This picture I took of a burned-out school in Bedford being renovated from the inside out reminds me of this song.

Artist picture
Sold a song to Disney at 12, masterminded a family band in my teens, wrote theater/cabaret in NYC in my youth, quit songwriting for a spell, now I’m back!
I love writing songs that capture strong feelings I’ve had about a time, person or place, and that wrap you in those feelings with a sumptuous arrangement and much to surprise the ear. I’m drawn to seductive rhythms and sophisticated chords, and themes of longing, carnality and joy. I want my listeners to be astonished!

Story behind the song
Inspired by everyone Ive known who seemed to have given up on life
Lyrics
Dragging around In that old man underwear Breaking no ground For your castles in the air Following leads that dont Lead you anywhere WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO? You tried Plan after plan Building the frame of it Kicking the can Making a game of it All you began Still nothing came of it WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO? When it seems theyre always Pulling your string And you dont know what Tomorrow will bring But your lifes too short To lose anything To regret Over all you dont get Over all that fell through WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO? One little change Wont get you there But take off the old man underwear Step into something new Its no crime Dont you know that Were all starting over All the time I know it may not seem that way But were starting over every day Dont you know that Were all starting over All the time To a voice that says Enough already Give it a rest So somebody failed Your little personal test And everything didnt Work out for the best Just give it a rest Or admit that hey, You played your part Doesnt matter Make a start Were all starting over All the time I know it may not seem that way But were starting over evry day Dont you know that Were all starting over all the time Everyones starting over all the time Were all starting over all the time Were all starting over all the time Everyones starting over all the time Were all starting over all the time Were all starting over all the time
