Artist picture
Singer/songwriter, Indie self-recorded: Wm Perry writes & performs tight, well-crafted songs. Honest & not boring, sometimes disturbing, with jangled-y edges. T
"I approach the writing of songs as if it's the only tool I have, with which to do something I don't understand." BIOGRAPHY: Failed. Kept moving. Your typical starving artist story. BFA from the Art Institute of Chicago, followed by several years in the Sign Industry. Front man in a multitude of short-lived bands, playing in clubs and warehouses in Chicago and LA's artsy, marginal war-zone neighborhoods. Now solo artist, self-recording. Bought a cheap, old house on Craig's List (without seeing it first!) and moved from Chicago to Cincinnati, an "economic refugee" you could say. Now completing renovations that make four floors of combined living/studio space and working on new music.

Lyrics
Brain'd (Let Me Tell You) - William McGuffey Perry Zip it tight, speak up clear Don’t go there, don’t bring that here Double quick, stay right there I hear you complaining but I just don’t care Let me tell you You don’t know what you want to do Do it again, what’d I say Don’t you worry, I got all day Give me a break, get a clue Get off my case, what’s wrong with you? Let me tell you You don’t know what you want to do (instrumental) Just see here, you can feel the eyes Murdering to get you down to size Cut the crap, measure twice Cover your ass, name your price Let me tell you You don’t know what you want to do Make haste while the sun shines On each wasted creature, colored gone Pick up your feet, do take notes Sink or swim, it lifts all boats Let me tell you You don’t know what you want to do Just say no, do one thing And the world will beat you like a king Take my hand, bend down close Give up the past, forget the ghost Let me tell you (let me tell you) You don’t know what you want to do (instrumental ending)
