This was a song I wrote to a beat that I wrote for a friend to rap over, unfortunately for him I liked it too much and wrote this the same night we came up with the instrumental. The meaning behind the song is not meant to be set in stone, but it was inspired by a scene I thought up where a person on a roof is seen regularly by a man below, and then about how this man creates a persona for the man on the roof. Singing bear is just a metaphor for anything that provides comfort.

It was a cold hard day
Up amongst the rafters
Nothing was changing
Except the suns rays and

When he looked down
He saw all of his masters
Someday I will look up to him
and say

Save yourself,
Mr. poor man can't you see
The people are warm
and you are free to go

Undoubtedly,
you can't see from my point of view
Some people say you lost your way and can't get out

And some people they strange whisper and you fall into a wisp of despair till you believe

Yeah you believe,
Your hope is on the wire
Give me its only faith and cornered style
I want you take all of my gratitude
I've got my singing bear for me too
Staring at me looking through everything i do
I believe, I believe, I believe, you'll believe in it too

My musical partner and I wrote this on his back porch in Brooklyn, summer 2012. It's a real simple tune, yet gets a great reaction when played live, just me and the guitar. It's one of my favorite new tunes!

This is the story of a guy feeling that his significant others thoughts have turned to someone else. A rough one take demo with the overdubbing of parts.

I wouldn't trade my wife of 43 years for anything but it's OK to imagine! I plan to rewrite a couple of verses to make it more presentable at cafes and festivals!

With all the crap we have in our lives, it only takes one person to make it all worth it. The idea was to write a blues song that takes a surprising turn into grinning incredulity.

The idea behind this song is that we are all stuck in our own generation and we will always find it difficult to understand or relate to those a few years above or below us in age.
