END OF THE WORLD CHARLIE PARKER TIME BOMB…The 2nd song on my newest album CROOKED
(with apologies to H. Murakami)
Not all invasions are political.
CROOKED…the first song on on my newest album
ROBERTSON 2018
There is a crooked man
and he has a crooked smile
though he hasn’t had a reason
to use it in a while
he has a crooked heart
that’s been broken all the same
there are parts of his life
that he just can’t explain
when he stands up straight
one shoulder is too high
time is moving out of phase
and he don’t know why
and he watches in confusion
as the world go spinning by
but hardly even notices it
with his one good eye
a crooked bolt of lightning
strikes a crooked tree
and the sky is full of chaos
for the crooked man to see…
he has a crooked heart
that’s been broken all the same
some feelings were left out of him
so he’s not to blame
NEW CRAIG ROBERTSON ALBUM RELEASED TODAY…”CROOKED”!
There is too much focus today on being “perfect”. One of today’s definition of “beauty” is having a face where one side is a mirror image of the other side. Nobody is like that, not even close. The further we get from the ‘norm’, the closer we get to true synchronicity–the delightful state of being where connections to life abound because we are not just one person, but many.
Some of the connections are good, some are not so good. This album celebrates a few of those connections.
CROOKED is comprised of nine songs, seven original and two covers.
- Crooked
- End of the World Charlie Parker Time Bomb
- Somersaults
- I Made a Mistake
- Attention Whore redux
- Second Hand Face (John Gorka 1992)
- Black Phillip Says
- Don’t Touch The Meteor
- Bloodletting (Johnette Napolitano, Concrete Blonde 1984)
you can listen to the entire album right now on Bandcamp. If you like it, please buy it…
