Austin Martini is a homage reference to a certain secret agent character featured in over 20 action motion pictures, who drives a fast silver British sportscar and has been known to prefer to drink Martinis shaken, not stirred. It is not intended to be a reference in anyway to a city in Texas or Minnesota. The sound of this one man band has been discribed as the kind of music that one might here played live on a piano in a fine department store. With one major exception. It is completely improvised. Pulling flowing melodies and chord progressions from the soul. Think of it as mental watercolors painting pictures in your mind. It is a very relaxing sound. Some may be drawn into its hypnotic depths. Others may find it hard to stay awake. It is an acquired taste. It is original.
Story behind the song
A song about being honest with one's self. A philosophical introspective about relationships, dreams, procrastination, and self esteem. Get sick and tired of being sick and tired, push off the bottom, stop making excuses and start living your life. Learn to love yourself before you can ever possibly learn to love another.
Lyrics
Living a life is not as easy as everyone thinks,
There is a lot more to it than simply breathing,
You have to chart a course,
And make decisions,
Without any instructions,
And there are bound to be mistakes,
Many injured in our wakes,
As we sail through our lives,
Sometimes we forget to believe in ourselves,
We live down to other's expectations,
We hide within our walls that are our biggest obstacle,
As time just slips away,
We put off for another day
And tomorrow never comes,
As we sink into our ruts,
Yet to get off of our butts.
Sailing through our lives,
Watching our dreams die,
believing our own lies,
eventually we have to try.
Sailing through our lives,
Watching our dreams die,
Believing our own lies,
Eventually we have to try.
