Acoustic and Electric Pop Rock - Contemporary Folk Sensibility

I am a one woman band. On my first 2 albums, I played guitars, keyboards, bass, and sang. I even did the drum programming on my first album - But having a real live drummer on the second CD couldn't be "beat" ;-) (Thanks Kevin) You can buy my second album "Now" at: http://cdbaby.com/corinne And my first album "A Whisper in My Ear" at: http://cdbaby.com/corinne2

Lyrics

My Father's House 
Copyright Corinne Curcio February 16, 2009 

My father's house 
His the only voice heard 
We all were quiet 
So he wouldn't be disturbed 

When I was young 
And under his roof 
All his words were 
Absolute Truth 

Daddy said "This is the way things are done"
Daddy said "Only men are strong"
Daddy said "Just listen to me 
I will teach you right from wrong"

At thirteen 
I wouldn't conform 
I turned a deaf ear 
To his emotional storms 

Daddy yelled "No - Loud Rock and Roll 
Daddy yelled "No - my daughter's not queer" 
Daddy said "No - liberal ideas" 
"I won't have that around here" 

When I grew up 
And left his home 
It was then I made 
A life of my own 

Alzheimers turned him 
Meek as a child 
He finally became 
Sweet and mild 

And I said "Yes - I'll bring you to the doctor"
And I said "Yes - they'll take care of you here"
And I said "Yes - everything's all right
From now on you have nothing to fear"
