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
A plea to stop the gun violence, bombings and wars around the world. Hatred, bigotry, power and money drive the violence and divide us all. And divided we shall fall.
Lyrics
Every single day In every corner of this world Hatred. Violence. Killing In the name of our Lord It's gone too far It's gone on for too long Deep jagged scars By those who've done us wrong CHORUS: Dear God! The sky rains with blood While we argue with each other on what needs to be done Dear God! There's no reason for it all Fighting in Your name and divided we all fall Another day More bullets find the flesh And all that we can say Is we're sorry and God bless Don't deny That guns serve just one cause Then we all cry That our freedom will be lost How much more Of the children, and the wives Can we ignore The excuses and the lies Lay down Lay down all your guns Or lay down The bodies of your daughters and your sons CHORUS: My God, you ask us for our love But the hate we have doesn't come from heaven up above My God, will you answer our call But if we cannot hear you, then divided we all fall Dear God, help us grow beyond Our lust for blood, for guns and bullets and all of those bombs Dear God, we're still so young and small Stumbling blindly backwards and divided we all fall *SOLO* Shooting in our schools Shooting at our work Shooting anything that moves See it live on the news network Shooting by our cops Shooting by our sick Shooting that never stops Cause we keep ignoring it. CHORUS: Dear God! The sky rains with blood While we argue with each other on what needs to be done Dear God! There's no reason for it all Fighting in Your name and divided we all fall My God, you ask us for our love But the hate we have doesn't come from heaven up above My God will you answer our call But if we cannot hear you, then divided we all fall
