Matthew Milia of frontier ruckus and I teamed up for this version of "Fight Song" recorded to analog tape. It's a song about friendship pulling you thru the lurch, and how your best buds are the best therapy. Huge fan of Matthew and Frontier Ruckus, they have been great friends, allies and neighbors just across the big water in Michigan. Photo by alejandro albuernes in Havana, Cuba.
FIGHT SONG LYRICS
Please take the reins away from me
Why can't I ever let it go?
I can't ever let it be
Sing a song before you leave
Because sitting in silence is one of the worst ways to fall asleep
One more sleep
One more dream
One more time
One more night
And after this I swear I'll stick up for myself
No more playing dead while I’m alive
If you want to be my friend, I'll be good to you
You will need somebody by your side
Yeah there is still a fight song left to write
The a.m. hits me in the face
It's freezing in my room
But they tell me what to do so I obey
The bell ringing in my ear
Like some kind of prison yard
I swear next year will be my year
One more day
One more haze
One last time
No more pain
