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
Just for fun, another light-hearted attempt at a modern country song. I was trying to do my best Charlie Daniels, good ole' boy vocal styling.
Lyrics
Sing a song about fortune and fate If you go for that sort of thing A shadow cast of what was once great 'Cause you can't fly on a broken wing It's unkind and not safe at all Get yourself out of that place Don't hesitate to make that call Don't mistake her for a pretty face CHORUS: Some may climb Some may fall depends on who you are Some may try Others call Other than that You're only dealt one set of cards Once upon a time, we thought we knew The answers to whatever's thrown our way Now we find we haven't a clue How to get through one more day Try to unwind, try to find A place to feel secure Get your mind out of your behind Unless you want to smell like horse manure CHORUS: Some may climb Some may fall Some just try and be true Some design Some just scrawl Other Than That, There's not much more you can do BRIDGE: Other Than That, that's a fact There's just a reflection staring back at you Other than that, you can't get it back There's not much more you can do The cows are fed, kids tucked in bed It's all the same at the end of the day Don't you fret on the words you said Or the things that you meant to say If you're kind, then you may find Everything's gonna be alright Once in a while, when you look behind You forgot to put out your campfire CHORUS: At any time At any place You can get like feelin' trapped It ain't no crime Ain't no disgrace Doing anything other than that.
