The Summer of Tough Love

Born in The Summer of Tough Love
into a family fate thought little of
Fortune ignored us, luck said "nay"
only Emptiness would stay
In '71 it came to pass
we moved to the Valley of the Shattered Glass
lived in an abbatoir rent-free
the Dysfunctionals and me
Memory, I love you
you never seem to let me down
making me believe that we were safe and sound
Enter the 80s all goes wrong
lousy production and a little long
father was dead by '89
but the abbatoir was mine
Memory, I need you
why you leaving me so soon?
I haven't even had a chance to change my tune
Is anybody real anymore?
Fake conversations with fake friends
I think I'd go back to the abbatoir
and feel some real pain again
What do I tell my girl and son
about the place that their old man came from?
Was it any good?
Did we leave it like we should?
Memory, I hate you
now that I know what you are:
a lousy old B movie with a third rate star

If you're feeling low down
summon all the goodness in your heart
pull somebody else up
don't tear them apart
If you are alone now
make somebody else feel less alone
help them through what they can't get through on their own
Try to make it right
don't just sit by and let it all slide
kindness takes the fight out of the fighter
an heals the harried heart
If you need to slow down
take some time and just slow it down
shut some of that noise out
and be here right now
If you're feeling low down
summon all the goodness in your heart

Jazz Cigarettes

Jazz cigarettes--I don't believe it but they say it's true
There's nothing worse that you can do
than smoke one of the sobriquets
for jazz cigarettes
There's a war on the war on the war on drugs
being waged by some white collar criminal thugs
and they want to know each time you give one a light
(but paying off the Senate's alright)
Jazz cigarettes I can smell 'em from across the hall
but it doesn't bother me at all
nobody's died from the munchies yet
Jazz cigarettes--you should smoke 'em if you got 'em right now
or they're gonna throw you in the hoosgow
that's as progressive as conservatives get
jazz cigarettes
They're kicking science to the curb
ignoring everything that works
and making criminals of kids who smoke herb
Jazz cigarettes--the opposition know that they're okay
it's not a gateway drug it's just a J
but I wouldn't hedge any bets on
jazz cigarettes being legal from sea to sea
in the true north and drug free
because in spite of what the research says
and years of Scandinavian success
they want us all to think the biggest threat
is jazz cigarettes

"Visions Of The Higher Dream"
by Daniel Romano
supported by 4 fans who also own “Stay Golden”
Hearing this was like discovering 70s Dylan or London Calling for the first time. Derivative yet strikingly original, the songs are immediately enjoyable and melodies get stuck in your ear for days. Daniel Romano is authentic. He borrows and transforms.The Outfit are a cracking band. Raw though sophisticated, sincere yet sly. This is one I'll keep coming back to.

It’s really hard to pick a favorite track because every single one is superb! DULY NOTED has become one of my favorite new releases of 2021. I can’t recommend TUNS enough!
