lyrics
I’ve been at the piano for a couple of days playing the same note
And to me it sounds as good as any melody anybody ever wrote
And the second tick’s the metronome vibrating the dust on the other keys
But I cannot write it down, despite all the commissioners whom I must please
And the full score will be due in a day or two for the musical
But to stop playing that G would be like denying me my pharmaceuticals
A cat can only be alive and dead at the same time if it does not exist
And that’s obvious to everyone except for the world’s smartest scientists
But my new tune could revolutionize the way people hear, if they’re listening
Then we’ll go repaint the whole Louvre as a canvas that’s smooth, white and glistening
And I’m beginning to fear that I’ll always be here with my monotone
And no one will come around to enjoy what I’ve found in this constant drone
And I’ve been in here for years and I still can hear my monotone
Interrupted by one thing: just the unanswered ring of the telephone

NSPS is…
John “High-Road” Howa
Jeremy Mathews
Sarah “Spark-Plug” Morton Taggart
Steve “Not-So-Naïve” Taggart
Withered Hand is quieter and more straight-forward than NSPS, but shares a certain outlook. Dan Willson is one of the best songwriters around—he can make you smile and tear up in the same rhyme. NSPS
In addition to making me feel better by taking (almost?) as long as NSPS to finish a new album, swo17 washes over you with rich sonic textures. Become one with the music. NSPS
