Not including songs that I wasn’t able to finish in time I had a few afternoons with Carl Shapiro in which we wrote a song together that we haven’t put drums on and another song I wrote and attempted to record on Carl’s computer but wasn’t able to finish before his computer went out of commission or songs I’ve written for upcoming record releases new SongSuns’ album coming soon full of tracks that aren’t on SongSunDay beating dead horse into ground i have become quite prolific.

I have had the privilege to work with three very talented people over the past two weeks. All of whom devoted their time, effort, and equipment to make this weeks SongSunDay a twofer. I give you, my dear friends, my deepest thanks and a standing ovation. That’s right. An fully grown Ovation acoustic-electric that has legs and walks and dances around. My personal favorite thing to do with this adorable instra-creature is take it up on top of a tall building and watch it dance its way off the edge and splinter into a million pieces when it hits the ground because Acousticreatures have no eyes.

Poor acousticreatures.

So thank you, Zach, Jeff, and Chad. I am very grateful your support, input, and abilities. And of course your equipment.

Now, everyone reading this: PLEASE check the track credits to see that Jeff Lown played the drums.

SongSunDay Song #15: Dream Garage

Performed, Tracked by:

Nathan Granofsky and Seth Wilkins

Produced by:

Nathan Granofsky

Dream Garage Lyrics

In my father’s garage there are many shelves
I am going there to prepare a place for you
to hide your drug paraphernalia
I’m really tired of all those stoners man ooo i wanna stop being one of them my
mind erects like a boner when i think of that time i got more higher than this time
i’m tired of thinking plants and man are the same and i’d taste them BOTH if the chance came up
What will I become when it’s all yeah sorry I don’t do that anymore
okay sorry
okay I don’t do that alright?
There was the earth
There was the sky
I was somewhere in-between
And I wasn’t even on anything
There were my thoughts
The stages of my heart now whole arranged neatly
I don’t have to mend it
What will I become when it’s all yeah sorry I don’t do that anymore
okay sorry
okay i don’t do that alright
i don’t do that alright?
I’ve had too many late late nights in my dad’s garage
Dreaming of things that aren’t happening
WHERE’S MY DAD?!?!?!

Long break. New Song.

SongSunDay Song#14: I Want OUT

Written/Performed/Recorded by:

Nathan Granofsky and Eon Burkett with iPhone

I Want Out Lyrics

Nothing will get me to stay
Nothing will push me to leave
I believe in something different
No one will show me the way
No one will allow me to say
That I believe in something different
I only want OUT
I WANT OUT
No one will allow me to freeze my thoughts
And be suspended
I want to be
Somewhere different
Somewhere real
No one will allow me to say
No will let me say
I believe in something

SongSunDay Song Thirteen by Seth, Nathan and Chris

Oh hell yeah. Making bread.

Making bread

Written, performed, engineered and produced by Nathan Granofsky, Seth Wilkins, Chris Hansen
Lyrics: Nathan Granofsky

Making Bread Lyrics

Dry toast

Is tasty

It’s not my fault

I’m lazy

Making bread

Dry toast

Is tasty

And I want to be lazy

Making bread

Self in motion

Shoe in

No Commotion

No one is happy

But we’re comfy

Making bread

Is easy

I don’t care where

It came from

Making bread

Is easy

I don’t care

It’s worth it

Making bread

Special thanks to Carl for letting me stay up at his house to upload this. Sweet dreams, Mr. Shapiro!!!

Falling On My Sword (Smooth Landing)

Written/Performed/Recorded by:

Nathan Granofsky and a GE Tape Deck

Falling On My Sword (Smooth Landing) Lyrics

Please keep from falling on the sword that I set up
Please keep from falling on my sword
I’ll be using it this weekend
After I’ve been drinking
All alone while I’m out camping
I’m gonna fall
My goals my ambitions are strengthened
But now I’ve turned into a pigeon
Holed up inside a filthy cage and
I’m gonna fall
My soul and my spirit are both standing
Blocking the bridge and demanding
I need them for a smooth landing
But I’m the bridge and I’ve decided
When my mind decides to riot
I’ll cut the ropes and make it quiet
I’m gonna fall

SongSuns’ SongSunday Silence Song #11

songsuns — Sun, 21 Mar 2010 19:44:50 +0000

Art is only understood if it reflects the current moment, art that goes on to reflect the future is never appreciated until after the moment has passed.

Some art my be ahead of its time but is only useful when it reflects a present state of mind.

No form of entertainment will ever change the world.

Quiet down.

QUIET DOWN!!!

Quiet Down Lyrics

We don’t wanna grow up
We’re all still young
And we don’t give a damn what I parents have done
“Quiet down! Quiet down!” is all they said
Hey! I’ll stay up and YOU go to bed
We don’t wanna grow up
We’re all still young
And we’re so drunk cause drinking is fun
A little bit of bud never hurt my dad
Cause he never smoked it
Awwwwww isn’t that sad?
We don’t wanna grow up
We’re all still young
And our brains are full
All our wars are won
All my friends wanna change the world
But you CAN’T change the world
Thru the TV set
NO
You can’t change the world
Thru the tv set
Or the pile of records from that guy down the street
Who was actually there when music was sweet
All my children wanna change the world
I’ll go to bed I’ll go to bed.
QUIET dOWNNNNNNNNN

SongSunDayless…..

songsuns — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 16:09:13 +0000

A wandering soul
Will soon have a home
Thanks to the kindness
I has been shown
Maybe some work
Will soon come my way
And I’ll buy equipment
For SongSunDay
Till then I ask
Help with my mess
My guitar is broken
My computer mic-less
If you have some spare change
Hidden deep in your bank
Please send it HERE
So SongSunDay won’t stank

Thank you for your time, your support, your eyes, and your ears,
Nathan

How does a head-stock snap off while a guitar's in its case? GIBSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNN!!!!!!

Snowy SongSunDay Song #9

songsuns — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 04:52:42 +0000

There’s a lot of snow here. A phone conversation with a good friend of mine who lives out west. Garageband, a late night, and a long slippery and dangerous van ride later:

SongSunDay Song #9:

30 Degrees.

Written/Engineered/Produced by:

Nathan Granofsky using Carl’s laptop and GarageBand

30 Degrees lyrics

California
Could be cold
I don’t live there so I wouldn’t know

The snow here’s deep
Over my knees
Fifty degrees seems pretty warm to me
I know
To You
It’s Cold
To me
I vent
I freeze
I vent
I freeze
You See
There
IS

Thirty degrees
Between me
And a healthy disposition

California
Could be cold
I’ve never been there
It could blow
But I don’t think so, no, I don’t think so
Cus anywhere is better than home
I know
I know
It’s home
It’s old
It’s old
I’m cold
I vent
I freeze
I vent
I freeze
You see
There
Is
Thirty degrees
Between me
And a healthy disposition

Snow!
