I'm Eric Kalenze, and Gawker Slowdown is the name I've given my little musical hobby. While I'm currently in a state of semi-retirement from music, I still write and play out occasionally. All songs on this site were written, performed, and recorded by me in my Twin Cities basement.

Lyrics

don't be the one who just turns the other way
when you see a need right in front of you
don't be the one who waits out for the perfect day
today's right here, now go do what you gotta do
don't be the one who judges value by the face
always read between the lines
don't be the one who fills up every empty space
with someone else's idea of what's divine

and in those times when you're unsure
only seek those you trust
as for all those easy, empty cures
only seek those when you must

don't be the one who holds back her voice
when you see someone in need of the wisdom you've earned
never underestimate the power of every choice
and when you choose wrong, be sure you learn

and in those times when you're unsure
only seek those you trust
as for all those easy, empty cures
only seek those when you must
