lyrics

--v1--
The frame of a man, bones and shoulders
From his head to his toes, each day he gets older
The danger of a man, in all of his grandeur
With mighty arms to swing an axe, he cradles his children
--v2--
My daddy is a man, he and his brothers
He works his back and his land, he is like no other
He took a woman for his bride, every day serving
I can see it in his eyes, I see it burning
--ch--
Our human minds are prone to pattern
It keeps us sane but drives us mad
I don't want to end up like my mother
But I want a man just like my dad
--v3--
My lover is a man, honest and dirty
He takes the good with the bad, he tells his story
Selfless and right, I trust the truth he claims
And with the lips that sing his songs, he also speaks my name
--ch--

Nothing gets to me like a voice full of emotion and a guitar strumming along. Molly Parden

RISK OF LOSS
by CARL ANDERSON

Is he singing through a tremolo pedal? Did he really write these timeless songs? These are the things I wonder when I listen to Carl. Molly Parden

Instrumentals
by Ross McReynolds & Juan Solorzano

Juan is parallel to no one. His musical brain has shaped my music, so it is only natural that I should be drawn to his own music. Molly Parden

The song Your Love Is Killing Me perfectly describes my current mental state. Too bad you can't select it. (Really, what's up with that?) J. Danner
