about

Never let your skill level determine your enthusiasm.

lyrics

Well the people at the coffee shop they tell me that I'm good enough
They tell me that I have a way with words
And my friends say just keep practicing
Some day you will learn how to sing
And I don't care if I I'm in key
I just want to be heard

If diffidence was an instrument then
I could play an instrument
I'd know every scale from the ups and downs the breakdowns
For if I weren't so reticent
You'd know my chords and choruses are just a substitution for healthy communication

I know I'm not a virtuoso
I don't have a special gift
I'd hesitate to call what I do 'art'
And my friends say it just takes a while someday you will find your style
And I don't care what style it is but I don't want to be awful

And as a species we've evolved
To a point we can express
The intricacies that go into
self expression and contempt
And maybe this is why I often find myself alone
Don't know if I'm a poet or a monkey with a microphone

And that's why I'm a musician
