“At its heart, this is a shameless homage to The Boss, with a melody influenced by the British Invasion Pop that influenced him, and a lyric that may leave you with more questions than answers. Thankfully, the story is 100% fiction, and is not drawn from my own life. It began as a writing exercise, creating a character wrestling with the internal issues that trouble him. Our anti-hero has some serious unresolved problems with his occupation. I'm not sure what this guy's job is, but he's not someone you want a visit from. He clearly wants out, yet sees no path to a better life, and no good choices. He seems resigned to a long journey thru an endless night that never leads to morning.”
lyrics
All I see is darkness in this city of light
My mind is a-racin', I'll get no sleep tonight
I need a best bad decision, never mind win or lose
It's never good when all that's left to choose
is between bad weather and the blues
I close my eyes for a minute and pretend everything's alright
still I'm not sure how I'm gonna make it home tonight
The second hand keeps tickin', there'll be no more sins excused
So I'm just gonna grab my walkin' shoes
and forget all this bad weather and the blues
There's things I've done I'm not proud of, don't dare to ask me why
The lessons learned, oh how they burn like lightning in my mind
Still I search for a peace I know I'll never find
Somewhere sweet, where I can leave this all behind
But there's always another job, and another point to prove
So I'll take a pass on the cocaine and the booze
and pour another cup of bad weather and the blues
Out on the highway past the city limit sign
Another soul's been taken, I know it could've been mine
But it's just another fool, who took too long to choose
Sometimes, heads or tails, you're gonna lose
in the game of bad weather and the blues
And I know I'll keep on searchin' til my bones no longer move
while all that could have been keeps crashing through
my frail shelter from bad weather... and the blues....

There is such texture and depth to these recordings - deceptively simple arrangements, delicious layering of instruments, and emotion-rich performances of the vocalists and players. lissybee2
