When in Doubt
Throw it out
When in Doubt
Stand up and shout
When in Doubt
Just do without
When in Doubt
What’s it about?
When in Doubt
Kick them out
When in Doubt
Prepare for drought.
When in Doubt
Figure it out
When in Doubt
Follow the scout
When in Doubt
Take another route
When in Doubt
Go in or out
When in Doubt
Sit there and pout
When in Doubt
Hold your snout.
When in Doubt
Better to be stout
When in Doubt
Follow the crowd
When in Doubt
Say it out loud
When in Doubt
Pretend you’re proud
When in Doubt
Hide in your shroud
When in Doubt
Water the sprout.
When in Doubt
Open the spout
When in Doubt
Time to head south
When in Doubt
Shut your mouth
When in Doubt
It’s not allowed
When in Doubt
Fields should be plowed
When in Doubt
Do a recount.
When in Doubt
Always in doubt
When in Doubt
Always in doubt
When in Doubt
Close your account
When in Doubt
Pay any amount
When in Doubt
Prepare for draught
When in Doubt
Follow the crowd
When in Doubt
Say it out loud
When in Doubt
Shut your mouth.
When in Doubt
When in Doubt
Always in doubt
My family has been asking that question for decades!

Where did your name come from?

I really love the twist in these lyrics. They have a push-pull effect as you go through each verse. It reminds me of the excitement and fear sharing the same space as you find yourself in a new relationship….. each new step scary and thrilling. Afraid to share too much or hold too tightly.
Feel Better MSK 2016

A look at the industrial machines all focused to make you feel better. Food, drugs, music, sports, gambling, and sex are just the start of the list. Does more money make this go away? If money doesn’t stop you from doing anything you want, what will?
The Wrong Thing

Maybe I’ve been lookin’ for the wrong thing.
Searching for the perfect harmony,
When I can’t even sing.
Maybe I am way out of my depth.
Thinking; just another minute
Right when I lose my breath.
I have banged my head against every wall:
Waited for anyone I know to call.
Listened to the righteous, but above all
Followed those thought of as weak or small.
Independent, courageous and defiant;
Yet I can’t seem to help myself.
Beat the dumbest giant.
So sure of myself all those years ago.
Put everyone that I love on hold.
Places I’ll never go.
I can solve everyone else’s problem.
Yet can’t even see my own.
The Wrong Thing lives again.
I have banged my head against every wall:
Waited for anyone I know to call.
I have banged my head against every wall:
Waited for anyone I know to call.
The Wrong Thing lives again.
The Wrong Thing lives within.
Eye of the Storm MSK 2017

These lyrics are a sister version of Deep Inside. Writing the song I think I had too much to say so I ended up writing two songs with similar themes and lyrics. Neither is what I had planned and I am not convinced it worked out for the best, but I like the lyrics for each. The meaning is too complicated to get into details. We all hold a lot deep inside. Life is a journey full of traps with no signs to tell you how to get out.
Evolution of Emotion MSK 2003

A spin off from an afternoon contemplating how many people get the basic premise of evolution wrong. I often hear descriptions as if the organism intends to branch off or enhance a trait or feature. Anyway, I wondered what was the first emotion and how quickly did the others develop. While I am at it, in what order? Did humans and other primates have dreams before experiencing emotions?
