Point Me
May 24, 202000:04:34Tap to summarizeA song for the directionless. Written and performed by Joel Dear. Cover art by Tora Lucy. LYRICS: I'm no good at living for myself I need to live for someone else Another afternoon I don't know how to use I'm staring at the wall I'm at your beck and call I'm no good at living for myself I need to live for someone else Every preacher needs a God All this batter needs a cod Every actor needs a script I need a keeper for my crypt This pen writes best when firmly gripped This horse may win if roundly whipped So point me t'wards the clouds and watch me fly Or point me t'wards a pan and watch me fry Or point me t'wards the bed and watch me lie So point me t'wards the sea and watch me sink So point me t'wards the mirror, watch me wink So point me t'wards the rum and watch me drink 'Cause I don't have a clue What I would like to do I'll think on it all day While doing sweet FA MVP of any entourage As long as I'm not put in charge I'm a slick automobile But I need someone at the wheel I would follow my own dreams But I don't know quite what they mean I had one the other night where I was killing centipedes I'm no good at living for myself I need to live for someone else I can't make myself happy, maybe I can make you happy I can't follow my own arrow, think it fell out of the quiver Can I have a stick to throw? Mine's at the bottom of the river So point me t'wards the kitchen and I'll bake I'll bake you a delicious birthday cake Just tell me what to do

Happy New Year
Dec 30, 201800:03:08Tap to summarizeWritten and performed by Joel Dear. Track artwork by Tora Lucy. LYRICS: i know the first day of the year is just another day i know that january 1st might as well be the 17th of may the new year's just another number yes, I know this to be true but when you need a push any hand will do i know the calendar's a construct to which we've chosen to adhere i know that there's no midnight magic that changes lives this time of year i know that new year's day is man made but I think it has a use 'cause when you need a fresh start sometimes you need an excuse i know i didn't have to wait to make a change in my life i could have done it in october i could have done it in july i could have done back in april i could have got up off my knees but when you need a new leaf you might as well wait until they're off the trees i know the first day of the year is just another day i know that january 1st might as well be the 17th of may the new year's just another number yes, I know this to be true but when you need a push any hand will do so happy new year i hope that this one's good for you
