The music of Lee Shapiro, which consists of a variety of styles and genres. I would appreciate if you "liked" or commented on any of the songs you enjoy.
My favorite kinds of music is the kind that surprises you. While I enjoy conventional type songs (verse, chorus, verse chorus, bridge, chorus), I prefer songs that take you on an adventure. This includes jam songs (Grateful Dead), and songs with many detours and lots of dynamics (Rickie Lee Jones, Dave Matthews). Although most of my songs tend to fall into some kind of normal verse/chorus formula, I do tend to try and mix things up a bit. Which is why most of my songs last longer than 4 or 5 minutes.

Story behind the song
About someone very special from my distant past, which after finishing the song I didn't realize how much residual emotion is still there. And I think that shows in the song, which is probably one of the most emotional songs I ever wrote and sang. At least it feels that way to me. Lyrics below:
Lyrics
It gets to the point Where the choices are few Cause I foolishly wasted them I'm afraid of the past I'm afraid it won't last I'm afraid of the words you never said So when she tells me What we had didn't matter And she doesn't have any regrets Well the love may fade Away from our minds But the heart will never forget CHORUS: This is my soul It dances with yours Waiting for the music to stop I wanted it more From the things that I saw The feelings I felt and the ones you did not. Ohhhhh I remember the times So few and far between I could say that I was in love Flowers of plastic Diamonds without shine I never could get you enough Or get enough of you Your emotions, your time I didn't care about the unimportant stuff So I worked on myself But by the it was too late Regret falls like rain from above CHORUS: This is my soul It dances alone Excuse me, may I have this dance? And if the answer is no I'll quite understand You were never one to give a second chance Ohhhh.... Bridge: The heart that once sailed Afraid it might fail Sinks like a stone in your wake So don't you look back I can't escape from the fact That I'm no stranger to this heartache Ohhh A soul alone Can there me a sadder thing...to see Ohhh A soul alone I only asked you to sing...with me CHORUS: This is my soul Still waiting to dance While yours sweeps over the dance floor I watch from afar From a distant star With no visible means of support And this is my soul It dances alone Will you let me have one more dance? If the answer is no I might understand That life gives you no second chance. Ohhhh, A Soul Alone
