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

Wanna say it's certainly 
Good of you to include me
You almost never say I
You're always talkin' 'bout we
Wildflowers in garbage dumps
Prizefighters who show off their lumps
Sometimes down in the dumps
Always loud and clear to me

Watchin you run in to walls
Losers take all
Times I didn't have the gall
Raise a glass to the Saint Pauls

Soccer mom in a minivan
It's all she can do not to clap her hands
When she hears the band
It always takes her away
To those Longhorn Bar nights
And that too-skinny man shootin out the lights
Everyone was too drunk to fight
But they'd sing along to each refrain

Watchin you run into walls
Losers take all
Times I didn't have the gall
Raise a glass to Saint Paul

Always mind the space between
The words you say and the life you lead
I hope my heart always bleeds
From the cuts you made there
Smile on your mud-spattered face
The dream you had the guts to chase
You put honesty above grace
Even as they made fun of your hair

Bring your flowers to the wall
You losers, and all
So that green bus never stalls
Raise your glass to Saint Paul
