Law Blank’s music has been described as sounding like “gunpowder sprinkled on top of decedent ice cream.” Law combines voyeuristically intimate experiences with sublimely honest views of love, loss, redemption, and, on occasion, the darker side of us all within a blend of acoustic pop and traditional singer-songwriter delivery. Law’s entry into songwriting was as awkward as a first kiss gone terribly wrong. It was in 1985 that he purchased his first sampling keyboard (with 1.2 seconds of looping time) creating lo-fi oddities that would help formulate his unique writing approach, as well as his quest to craft a song with actual chords. Over the next 20 years, Law continued to hone his craft, in collaboration with several band incarnations, as well as his current state as a solo artist. Law’s music over the years has been featured on college radio, as well as a live studio recording for NPR’s Homegrown Music with George Graham. Through it all, the constants remain the same: Law is passionate about the craft of writing and performing songs Law is always striving for a new voice; a unique way to express the common and universal topics and emotions we all feel Law is a big game hunter looking for the next killer hook Law currently is working with several co-writers, Steve Kolter, Robert DePriest, Sol Knopf and is working on his upcoming 2009 solo release.

Lyrics
I woke up from a crazy dream What an amazing scene But I can’t remember a bit of it now Cats were crying in the alleyway Searching for their better day But it happened, just a moment ago and they didn’t know CHORUS: They say that better days Are trapped in the simple ways A smile, a laugh or a kiss I’d give up fortune or fame Endure a mountain of pain If I could have only this It’s funny how life has passed me by After I finally opened my eyes Fear sits next to me and offers a stiff drink Nothing puts my mind at ease like acting as if I'm in the movies But I didn’t know, you only get one take to make a mistake” CHORUS BRIDGE: Everyone has got to fight their battles Everyone has to let their past go Everyone is searching for their answers For all the better days to show I woke up from a crazy dream What an amazing scene I was standing, standing in front of you You leaned over and whispered in my ear That there is nothing to fear And you kissed me into a state of grace, my smiling face CHORUS Copyright 2012 Law Blank
