about

With New Year's Eve falling on a Saturday, I thought it was fitting to close out 2022 with another Saturday Night/Sunday Morning combo.

Here are two versions of 'New Year's Eve On The Couch', good for both ringing in the new year and that slow descent into your couch with the realization that it is, in fact, Sunday morning, Jan 1, 2023.

The reflective lyrics hang in the air nicely this time of year referencing regrets, playing guitar, cleaning up and out, optimism, rock stars, fleeting time, cheesy movies and Shane MacGowan.

Thanks again for all your support this year and for giving me the confidence to share these songs.
I don't always have it.

Wishing you all health and happiness in 2023.
As my old pals in the Trapt used to say, "Keep your engine clean".

See you on the other side.

lyrics

New Year’s Day on the couch
Is where I’ve filled myself with doubt
Another new year thrown away
With that Christmas tree today
The neighbour asked if I was alone
While just staring at her phone
I don’t pretend she heard me say
I’ve been like that since Christmas day
Floating here above this ghost town.

I struck a chord, that struck a nerve
Like a rock star whisperer
With a new warped sense of time
Like a movie scene for crying
I hope we meet some other day
Before this new year slips away
When hardened hearts aren’t what they seem
You were the measure of my dreams
And those are claims that I now choke down
Until this new year proves me wrong.
