Another early 4-track recording from the mid 80's. I did some remastering and added a new drum track.

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
The world of punk rocking, purple haired cool chicks fascinated me. This is based partially on a real person I knew, but also partially a fantasy character that I wanted to get to know the real person under all the makeup and purple hair.
Lyrics
In the morning, on the pillow, Party Plum lipstick tosses. Check your watch, check the calendar, last night you count the wins and losses. In the morning... At the table... When you're yawning... Don't tell me you're not able. In the daytime, it's not your time, just passing through to the night. I want to talk to the girl inside you, I want to see you in the light. In the morning... At the table... When you're yawning... Don't tell me you're not able. Hand Painted Night Time Lover You're just a Hand Painted Night Time Lover Hand Painted Night Owl
