Piano ballad giving sympathy to the artist in all of us
PANARCHY is the vehicle for performing the more progressive rock songs written by Scott Gordon. The band was started by Scott Gordon (keyboards/vocals/guitars)
Welcome to PANARCHY - proof positive that the craft of songwriting - intelligent, poignant lyrics, and innovative but sonorous harmony of voices and instruments - is not dead. PANARCHY is for me what UTOPIA was for Todd Rundgren. A real band for the band, in-between my own acoustic solo performing and recording.

Story behind the song
I wrote this song for the Artist in everyone to express sympathy for the tragedy of the sensitive Artist surrounded by a cold universe. In this version I may not have sung the lyrics entirely correctly by memory...
Lyrics
THE ARTIST 1998 – Dallas TX Starving Artist - Hoping you'll be given in return Coping with a living as you learn -That good things often come to those who wait -But you fear it's much too late You chose to love when others chose to hate -So you'll get paid... ...–the ordinary rate Feeling Artist - Reaching hearts and searching deep within To get down to the roots of people's pain -But who will listen when the pain is yours? -The Artist's pain endures -You chose to love when others chose to hate -...and now you'll have to... ...wait Thinking Artist - You think the world could be a better place That somehow we could win the human race -But you run into the ones who would destroy -They compromise your joy -You chose to love when others chose to wait -You hope it's not too late -You chose to love, you chose to wait -You hope it's not too late -But somewhere deep inside you hesitate... -...You're still an Artist and you… -Know it's not too late... …No it's not too late... The Artist - 1998 - Scott Gordon
