A one-man-band with all-original material, writing, composing and performing since 2005.
My name is Evan Schafer. I am an independent (or "indie") musician with a strong grounding in traditional composition, but I like to think my material always has a unique and individual flair. I guarantee not being bored out of your gourd when turning on one of the records. I produce, mix, and engineer everything myself, and have done so since late 2005.

Story behind the song
Acoustic guitar, vocals - Evan Schafer "Morse Code" (the album) turned out to be a very poignant album of inner feelings and deep revealing for me. The lyrics for "Time You Have Left" came at a very crucial time for me when my father was in the midst of changing jobs and was unable to pay for child support (although he denies to this day that he didn't have the money when he actually did). Just listen to the track and you'll hear exactly what I'm talking about. Oh, and experimented very lightly with reverb on the guitar and the lead/harmony vocal tracks.
Lyrics
Ignorance Falls over a tide of motion Forgetfulness Just a wave injustice can't deny Give it all you've got You only have a few moments left to go Sink or swim, you got a right to live So take up the time you have left Kindness In a world where no one cares Youthfulness Two steps from a teenage wasteland Sink or swim, you got a right to live So take up the time you have left Give it all you got You only a few moments to go Give it all you got Sink or swim, you got a right to live So take up the time you have left Ignorance Falls over a tide of motion (Chorus Repeat) I know what you're thinking right now ...
