About the pretty darn good life available for bands busking in the NYC Subway stations
upbeat positive variety literate
Artist picture
Hopefully intelligent, upbeat, pop rock - plus multiple other genres and rabbit holes I enter
The band is ME - plus any collaborators I can convince to come along for the ride. I love the process of song writing and production - I hope some others get some enjoyments - or chuckles out of these tunes.

Story behind the song
Inspired after reading about the lives of NYC Subway Buskers who have found an alternative route to spend their lives as professional musicians
Lyrics
THE UNDERGROUND Words & Music ©2018 by Ron Tintner, ASCAP We’re in The Underground, a New York busker band We play at subway stops from 42nd Street to Amsterdam No day jobs, we’re not waiters, we don't wash floors We make our money makin' music all day, can't ask for more On good days, our best days, we get cases filled with cash But even bad days, our worst days, we're still havin’ a freakin’ blast CHORUS: Life ain’t quite the way we planned But we're makin’ our living in a rock and roll band We’ve got our songs and we've got our sound We're doing what we want… In The Underground We don't pay to play, pretending that'll make us big And all those bands that do, finally figure out they're worthless gigs Sweatin' day jobs… just to cover food and rent Gettin’ so burned-out, they wonder where the music went On good days, their best days, they’re almost feeling fine And on bad days, their worst days, they're headin’ for the exit sign CHORUS BRIDGE: We’ve still got our dreams Of getting to the top But even if they don't come true We’ll never stop CHORUS Tag: In The Underground…
