I'm Eric Kalenze, and Gawker Slowdown is the name I've given my little musical hobby. While I'm currently in a state of semi-retirement from music, I still write and play out occasionally. All songs on this site were written, performed, and recorded by me in my Twin Cities basement.

Lyrics

this message is brought to you by love
by the lonely basement light
after the girls have called it a night
the fame and fortune i once dreamed of
they were buried long ago
my limitations dug that hole
still a man needs a place
he can make the whole world go away
yes, a man needs something to chase
as he runs from the cold hard clay
if i fail, if i succeed
it don't mean that much to me
inspiration, i got some
when i don't, i know it's soon to come
if i got nothing to say
i ain't gonna sit around and wait
just let it fall down from above
it gets so easy when you're doing it all out of love
this message is purely sentimental
its commentary saccharine
with half-ass rhymes like tangerine
but for me it's monumental
sometimes you gotta le-do-dee
over a careless melody
when i'm down here in my place
tryin' to make the whole world go away
when i'm down here, it's all i chase
to take my mind off the cold hard clay
if i fail, if i succeed
it don't mean that much to me
inspiration, i got some
when i don't, i know it's soon to come
when i got nothing to say
i'll put something down anyway
just let it fall down from above
man, it's easy when you're doing it all for the love
