about

'She Needs A Revolution' was recorded in 2011. The music has been kicking around since around '04. The lyrics are a story of a young woman trying to find herself under the weight of societal pressures and materialistic ideals. The drums sound rough and the recording is raw, but it was probably the first decent thing I've recorded entirely on my own. It has a certain charm I've grown to like, hope you enjoy it as well.

lyrics

She's not unprepared, She's gotta figure out what to wear
To leave her house and do nothing
High heels struttin' down the avenue, she's gotta figure out what to do
To give this life a little more purpose
And all the boys stop and tell her she's beautiful, but that's all they really wanna know
As she's rifling through every little piece of her life
She tries to get it off her mind, but love songs play all the time
And all they seem to do is remind her of better days

Things are changing and she don't know why
She needs a revolution and it ain't no lie

I'm comfortable with my memory, I let it drift out to sea
To catch a glimpse of it from the shoreline
They're sittin' up on their high horse, moving with such unstoppable force
The money's pouring in like a landslide
And all the men stop and tell she's pretty, 'whatcha doin' on this side of the city?'
She never knew what it meant to be rescued
I'm comfortable layin' in my bed, letting these thoughts fill up my head
And find another fault I can fix until I'm new again

Things are changing and she don't know why
She needs a revolution and it ain't no lie

I'm not gonna follow you home
(Cause it's not where I belong)
I'm not gonna follow you home
I'm taking a walk outside
(Cause I got to clear my mind)
I'm not gonna follow you home

World is changing and she don't know why
She needs a revolution and it ain't no lie
