Watch The Signs
by Frank Critelli
Do you transcend?
Do you condescend?
Do you understand my meaning?
Have you seen?
Are you so pristine?
Have you ever had this feeling?
It's okay to walk the line between rebellious and refined.
You can always change your mind - watch the signs.
Have you lived?
Are you positive?
Have you questioned every answer?
Everything is changing so you'll have to take your chances.
It's okay to walk the line between rebellious and refined.
You will know your truth in time - watch the signs.

Ahead or Behind
by Frank Critelli
There's no way to compare the cold, dirty stare
from people you see on the street
with the feeling that comes from seeing ones
who refuse to let eyes even meet.
And the sun still shines, and the moon still climbs
whether I look ahead or behind.
And the sun still shines, and the mood still climbs
whether I fall ahead or behind.
Thinking about going with or without,
and the difference between need and desire.
Asking the questions, but not learning the lessons.
Mistaking the smoke for the fire.
And the sun still shines, and the moon still climbs
whether I look ahead or behind.
And the sun still shines, and the mood still climbs
whether I fall ahead or behind.

Whiskey Blues
by Frank Critelli
Early in the morning, Jesus standing in my room.
So I hit the bottle instead of church and I was drunk by noon.
The devil drinks his whiskey, the same as me, the same as you.
But when the angels drink their whiskey, it's better than we do.
Some men drink their whiskey to calm the demons in their minds.
You'd better pour another round, Boys. Demons working overtime.
Early in the morning: CVS and the barber shop.
So early in the morning: the hardware store, then Stop 'n Shop.
You've got a list of things do, and whiskey in your coffee pot.
I need a woman who drinks whiskey,
and not some little girl who just makes me think.
Cause every time I kiss her lips, I get another drink.
Whiskey in the morning, whiskey all night long.
Whiskey makes me weak. Whiskey keeps me strong.

The Questions Recurring
by Frank Critelli
Am I my Mother? Am I my father?
Am I myself at all?
Or am I some other?
I can't discover where I fit in, in the world.
Where I did I come from? Where am I going?
I have no answers to the questions recurring.
What have I done here? Why have you come here?
What are you expecting to see?
Maybe we'll find it. Maybe we're blind to it.
Maybe it's just not meant to be.
Where did we come from? Where are we going?
I have no answers to the questions recurring.

I'm a Boy
by Lys Guillorn & Her Band
supported by 4 fans who also own “The FCB ep”
This new EP hasn’t left my car since I got it. This is so right for this moment in so many ways, starting with the title song. It’s hard to improve on The ‘Oo but this version hits the right balance between homage and innovation. The guitar sound offers a jangly mid-60s authenticity but the sweeter backing vocals reveal a complexity to the gender confusion that makes it feel entirely up to date...
