Here is a sample of the songs that I wrote and recorded in Charlotte, NC between 1991 and 1995. All songs (c) 1991-1995 Dan Russell-Pinson
Carnival: Charlotte – Spring 1995
| Sometimes I peer over the wall To catch a glimpse of all the business Suits lining up in the hall Do I have to say hello to them all? Never seen a carnival at night I always left before it was too late Rides spinning out of control As I dig my way into this hole…alone |
Watching it all like it’s on TV Waiting to see what becomes of me Like a playing piece in a childrens game Moved around to serve the natural urge to win Too many people to make a dent in this world Seems to live to be consumed By energies still beyond our control Should I be what they would have me be? |
Breathing: Charlotte – Winter 1994. Colin Cooler plays lead guitar.
| Could it be like the dream? In the winter of time A wide-open path or an empty highway An absolute directionAnd the snow’s packed so high I could pull my sled up… To the overpass And slide down the other sideAll my life Following this idle scenery All my life Searching for the end of this white seaAnd I can’t look behind There are city lights ahead With amusement rides hiding choking women And I could go there…God stop this light Just for a little while No sight, no sound just la la la…All my life… |
And the sun shines so bright Melting this world I can’t stand this white I can’t stop the time Ticking on…Desolate white, even at night The lights becoming thinI see myself from above When life’s a dark and lonely street I walk the path that’s put in place By people who have died before meWill I even try? I know there’s got to be a place to hide Will I even try? I know the door is open in my mindWalk up to the edge Put a hand through the fragile paper Not a second thought before I realized That I was breathing… |
